Chapter 7: Escaping the Bandersnatch Duo
The nearest Bandersnatch lashed out with his enlarged, clawed arm. The women jumped back; only narrowly avoiding the attack. They quickly made it back to main room of the café, but found problems. The Bandersnatch's moved quicker than they thought and soon they could not escape through the door they came in, a Bandersnatch blocking the door. With the other door blocked they only had one choice. Dodging the attacks of the second Bandersnatch, Cashmere opened fire; shattering the window out the front of the café. With the glass gone they ran and leapt out through the hole. They took off running with the Bandersnatch's in hot pursuit. To make things worse, they realized that the streets were now crawling with B.O.W.s; Cerberi, infected crows and bats, Albinoids and Black Widows.
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me!" Cashmere cried. "All we're missing are the zombies and we've got the full set."
Lydia shook her head. "Don't say that, that'll make zombies appear; you know how karma works."
Cashmere groaned. "Let's just keep running, shoot any we need and get the hell outta here. We'll need somewhere to take cover."
"Agreed." Lydia replied.
With their weapons ready both women ran from the Bandersnatch's attempting to work their way around the other B.O.W.s and draw as little attention as possible.
Their luck did not hold however as several of the B.O.W.s spotted and chased them, bringing more with them. Their only advantage seemed to come from the Bandersnatch's; in their haste to get to the women they swiped several of the other B.O.W.s out of the way; even killing some of them. They shot at any that got to close, but only killed a few of them. The wounded B. invariably fell victim to the Bandersnatch's however. Sure enough, just as Lydia said, they soon found their path blocked by zombies.
"Shit, shit!" Cashmere cursed bitterly.
Lydia stayed focused however.
"Open fire on them, force them to back off and make a path!"
Cashmere nodded and pulled out her shotguns and began blasted a path through the zombies. Several more B.O.W.s emerged from side streets as they passed the blockage of zombies.
"You've gotta be kidding me, how many are there?" Lydia remarked. "They're gonna box us in at this rate."
They continued to try and blast a bath as the Bandersnatch's closed in. Suddenly however the distinct shot of a sniper rifle rang out. One of the B.O.W.s dropped dead. Both women were surprised by this, but recovered quickly; it looked like they had someone backing them up, they were not going to turn down this opportunity.
They continued to run, with renewed energy thanks to their back up, they continued to run and shoot at the B.O.W.s blocking them. The Sniper continued to fire and take out several B.O.W.s that posed a threat to the two women. However soon they found themselves trapped in a large open street; the other exits were blocked off. The two Bandersnatch's entered, cutting off the last escape route. None of the other B.O.W.s seemed to have followed them this far. Lydia and Cashmere both had doubts about their chances of survival; they were tired, the sun had set and it was night time; they were also running low on ammunition. They quickly opened fire as the Bandersnatch's charged. Luckily a few of their shots hit their exposed hearts. Another sniper shot rang out and also struck at one of the hearts. One of the Bandersnatch's stopped and sank to its knees. The other continued to charge however; forcing the women to dodge. They continued to open fire; focusing on the already wounded Bandersnatch. Suddenly, it roared as it lunged at them. The sniper rifle rang out again; there was an explosion as a truck, transporting gasoline, exploded from the sniper shot. The ground crumbled as the injured Bandersnatch roared and dropped dead. The ground beneath the women collapsed however and they fell underground.
The shadowy figure lowered the sniper rifle and stood up. They sighed and slung the rifle over his shoulder on its strap.
'That was far too close. Something must be done; a way to lure most of these creatures away from them.' The figure thought. 'It could be their only hope to try and escape, before it's too late for them.'
They figure turned, their thoughts occupied with ways to lure the B.O.W.s away. Meanwhile; underground, Lydia and Cashmere recovered and caught their breath. They looked around and finally found they were in an old abandoned underground railway tube station. They found a store room, which held more ammunition and supplies. They quickly entered and checked to ensure it was safe. They then barricaded the door and sat down; they had found a place to stay for the night. While they sat Lydia sighed.
"Okay; so we know that wacko doesn't plan on escaping and wants to 'resurrect' some sister of his."
Cashmere nodded. "He seems to believe this sister will prevent Umbrella from destroying the time. Then we have our anonymous friend, the sniper, what's their motive?"
"We've got more questions than answers." Lydia replied. "Still, we know that our original intention for coming here…Was just a trap; which is how we've ended up being caught in this incident and we need to escape…somehow."
Cashmere looked around. "I say we look through all this stuff and what we have with us tomorrow. Then we can decide what we're going to do."
Lydia agreed and so; while restless; they managed to slowly drift off to sleep.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
