Hmmm…

None surprisingly, the airport was absolutely deserted. This was becoming quite normal, in a way. Killing, silence, killing, yelling, arguing… killing.

But none of this was what any of us expected… well except Emmett… and Kory… and probably Canada… But besides them, this wasn't exactly what we pictured as the end of the world. I always thought it would be like it had before we came here, buildings on fire, planes crashing everywhere, dead people… but then I met my first monster. And axe met with hand and monster go bye-bye. They chewed the wrong piece of candy. And it was amazing how lucky I was, that I had Emmett still… well anyone in our group. The fact that we were all still alive was unbelievable. But I didn't want to jinx that…

"Anyone have a plan yet?" Charlotte actually talks, her voice sending a shiver up my spine.

"No." Emmett shakes his head.

"Bloop!" Bipolar has obtained some sort of fish personality… I didn't quite understand that one.

"I've got nothing." Texas shrugs. And for once, Kory is silent.

This worried me.

"To Australia then?" I ask quietly. Everyone groans.

"No more flying!" Reaver begs.

"No more crashing is more like it." Texas mumbles.

"You try it and say that." I point at her accusingly. She shrugs like it's nothing.

"Well… we're in Germany…" Emmett starts. Bavaria seems to come into the conversation at this point. "We could just have some fun…" Emmett shrugs.

"Maybe we should just go to Australia." Bavaria interjects.

"We're just going to keep running and running…" Russia shakes her head, frustrated.

"Maybe not." Bavaria says, but there's not a whole lot of sureness in her voice.

"Well somebody think of something!" Kory bursts out.

"Why don't you think of something you flat assed llama!" Reaver yells. What does that even mean?

"You almost got us killed!" Emmett is out of his cool zone and raging.

"Killed? You're girlfriend almost got us killed!" Texas' face is red.

"I'm not his girlfriend." I say flatly.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Emmett asks, offended. Oops.

"Wait, what?" Reaver is about as confused as everyone else.

"Shut it squid face!" Kory snaps.

"You shut it toe licker!"

"Thank you." Kory smiles deviously.

"EW!" Charlotte screeches.

"Gross, dude." I shake my head.

"Bloop!"

"Buffalo, not the time." Russia says.

And we all start arguing.

"Guys…"

"Fuck you! I don't need this shit!" Kory.

"Watch it!" Me.

"I thought we had something special!" Emmett. Desperate.

"Let's just get out of this country!" Bavaria.

"Guys…" Fairbanks.

"No, you're wrong!"

"Don't tell me what's right and wrong!"

"You just left me there!"

"Left you there? I saved your fucking life! If I had just left you, you'd have jumped! But you know, maybe I shouldn't have stopped you!" The whole room get's quiet. And all eyes are on Emmett.

"Guys!" Fairbanks is pointing at something. The window, we look out. And in our argument, a crowd of tiny little dots had appeared. Scratch that, not dots, zombies.

"wunderbar." I sighed. And went towards the escalators, everyone following. "Only one way out of this mess." I pull out my axe, going for an epic moment.

"Technically there are two…" Bavaria ruins it. Thanks.

"Whatever." And I make my slow yet epic descent down the escalators. This wasn't what I had planned. My first trip back to Germany. Never expected it to turn into this: a drop into death. There were so many zombies down there, I honestly didn't know if we'd make it back. There was no turning back now… literally I had destroyed the other escalator when crashing the plane.

"Are you sure about this?" Reaver asks, Charlotte clinging to him.

"Yes." I lie. No.

"Let's do this!" Texas whoops.

"I will enjoy tearing them apart limb from limb." Okay, that's about the scariest damn thing that I've ever heard Russia say.

"Let's kill some zombies." I smile, pleased at my team's cooperation. And so the fighting began. And you know what? It lasted about ten minutes before all zombies were completely dead, motionless and unable to come back from the dead again.

"Well. That was a lot better than crashing another plane." I say pushing my hair out of my face.

"I preferred the plane." Bavaria glares at me. No one else talks but rather gasps for breathe.

"That was fun!" Charlotte jumps up and down. Oh it's when you see those young kids so excited to chop a zombie apart that makes my day…

"No kidding." Texas breathes.

"What next?" Kory asks.

"We go somewhere, do something, I don't know." Emmett shrugs.

"Why don't we go look for survivors?" Russia suggests. We all look at her, obviously she hasn't just seen enough "survivors".

"Yeah, we need more members to our little zombie fighting club here." Texas shakes her head, hands on hips.

"Well." Bavaria says. "Let's just do something!"

"Okay, let's walk this way then." And our journey began, across the great parking lot of the airport. Long and perilous, we were growing scarce of food and water. By the time we reached the last gate, Kory was practically crawling on his hands and knees, one arm stretched out towards the light.

"I see it." His voice is raspy, dehydrated.

"See what?" Texas asks, red hair glowing in the radiating sun.

"The light…"

"You dumb-shit that's just a street light." Reaver kicks him in the kidney.

"Oh the pain." Kory flops over onto his back.

"Kory," Fairbanks smacks him, "Get yo' ass up." We all laugh.

"Okay." He jumps up. And we begin to realize that the street light we have discovered, meant we had crossed the whole parking lot. Finally.

"Into the city we go!" Emmett shouts victoriously.

"Keep it down." I shush him, laughing. I think we were all pretty delusional at this point.

"On word ho!" Kory says. He misused the word.

"Mush!" Reaver kicks him again. Kory howls. I couldn't stop laughing, my stomach hurt from it.

"Mush!" It's Emmett this time, riding Kory. I had fallen to the ground laughing.

"Guys… stop that… be serious…" Bavaria laughs.

"Bloop!" We all laugh harder.

"This… isn't safe!" Russia says in between giggles.

"This is perfectly safe!" Emmett says his eyebrows arched. "I gave him a muzzle see." And he wraps duck tape around Kory's mouth.

Click click.

Total silence now. We've all heard that sound way too many times not to recognize it. Slowly, and as one, we all turn around.

"Oh shit." Emmett says.

Surprise! New character! But y'know if anyone wants to send in more character I would just love that. Really… it's okay. Seriously. And new readers from Belgium, I thank you for your Belgium waffles. And Australia… you guys have… well you guys are cool. JK Thank you all!

Until next time…
