Still wouldn't mind some reviews… Happy March!:D
It turns out Nick isn't really a bad guy. I mean, no one ever said he was. And the whole killing his own parents thing was strictly survival. So he wasn't a horrible edition to the team, as long as he could take care of himself.
It's Saturday night (yes for the first time in a long time I'm actual aware of what day of the week it is) and we just left Nick's house. It wasn't as quiet as it normally was. There was actually conversation amongst us… It was almost scary.
"I would have been just fine without ever meeting you." Reaver tips his head up.
"Oh come on," Kory elbows him, "You know you're life wouldn't have ever been the same."
"You're right." Reaver sighs, pushing him away. "And that's probably for the best."
"Honestly," Russia mumbles.
"Well, love, you know you couldn't live without us." Reaver says in a mock British accent.
"You suck at accents." Russia shakes her head.
"Oh, do I? Vittle Girl?" He's know trying a Russian accent.
"Get out." I point towards the window. Reaver smiles, I shake my head.
"You just don't know how to have fun." Jay says from the front seat. We acquired a new vehicle since leaving Nick's, so we weren't as squished as before.
"I'm pretty sure I know how to have fun."
"You're wound up tighter than Michael Jackson's face lifts." Kory observes.
"Ouch," I roll my eyes.
"Now, now children." Reaver chastises.
"You're all freaks." Kory says.
"Shut it pork head," Jay glares at him.
"You shut it, you're so stupid you don't know sheep shit from cotton seed!" Kory spits. What?
"That's lower than quail shit in a wagon rut!" Jay says. Oh, dear lord.
"Stoooooooooop." I moan. "You two are sooooo annoying. For once just shut up."
"Very well then," Kory sniffs. I look out the window, my eyes light up. Ah, finally! Civilization!
Of course that civilization is zombie infested but what are ya gonna do?
We pull over and everyone gets out. Things were going so well…
"No more farms!" Bavaria sighed happily. We pulled out some of the food we had been storing for quite awhile now… I wasn't even sure what was still okay to eat.
We sat by the cars on the side of a bridge, just before the city. I looked for a sign that might give us our location, but couldn't find one. So we sat there and ate.
"Did anyone hear that?" Fairbanks half whispers as we're loading everything back into the cars.
"Hear what?" Texas asks. The sound of metal scraping against pavement filled the air. We all turned from the direction we had originally come. I could just barely make out movement in the shadows of the buildings by the bridge.
"Oh my god." Emmett breathes, motionless. Shocked, he turns around slowly and looks directly into my eyes, "Get in the truck." Even I'm paralyzed by the sight.
"Move!" I yell. We hurry into the cars. Reaver started our truck's engine. I could hear my heart pounding in my head.
At least thirty to fifty bloodied faces were after us now, jaws hanging wide open, drawling. Black, dead eyes focused only on us. Ready to devour. Then, the worst possible thing happened.
"We're running out of gas." Reaver says, looking at the gauge.
"Shit," I looked in the rear view mirror, the horde wasn't far behind us. The sound of their moans filled my head. I think. I think hard about our next move. I search for places to hide. I see a sign for a subway entrance. "There! Stop the car!"
"What? Are you crazy?" Reaver's face is red.
"Yes, now stop the freaking car!" I shout. He gives me a hesitant look and the truck comes to a halt. We open the doors, I hear them slamming in the background. The rest of the group's confusion as they're stopping their cars. But there's absolutely no time to explain. I crossed my finger (in my head) that this would work. We ran down the steps, the horde was growing, they were within reach now. A chainsaw started, that was Bipolar. A gun shot, screaming. It was almost all slow motion. I felt rumbling under my feet. Perfect.
"Just hang in there, everyone!" I shriek.
"Sure!" Kory hisses angrily.
"Stupid zombies!" Texas wails, crushing a zombies head under her foot. I could hear it now.
"Step off!" Emmett shoves one back and shoots it.
"GO BACK OFF IN YOUR OWN JACK YARD!" Jay slices a zombie's torso in half. I could see light coming from the tunnel.
"Almost there!" I yell, spinning on my heel to chop a head off with my axe.
"What are you waiting for?" Bavaria pants, whacking a zombie with her hatchet. The subway train finally pulled in and the doors started opening.
"Get inside!" I yell and we all swarm into the train.
"We've got to hold them off." Kory makes a clean cut. My little fighters.
"How much longer?" There were tears streaming down Charlotte's eyes.
"The door's are now closing." An electronic, feminine voice informs us.
"It'll be alright, Charlotte." Reaver says, saving his little sister from an oncoming zombie. The doors shut, a few limbs remained in the doors. We all sighed with relief.
"Is everyone okay?" I ask. They all nod. Everyone was there, it was going to be okay.
"Damn zombies." Russia sighs, sitting down. The train started to move, and we had to grab something for support.
"What are we going to do now?" Charlotte asks Reaver, her tears drying. Reaver looks at me for an answer.
"Yeah, what are we going to do?" Fairbanks whispers. I think about my response for a second. I really didn't know what was next.
"We survive." Is all I say. "That's all that matters, is that each and everyone one of us outlast this. We've already lost everything else. But I will not let us lose each other. No matter how much you loathe one another," I look at Reaver, Jay and Kory. "We are going to stick together." A few nods, but mostly silence. Just the rumbling tracks beneath us as the subway broke out of the tunnel and into the light. It went above the city and we could see the demolition Germany had endured as well. I held my breath for a second. Wondering if the rest of the world had suffered like this. And if there really was somewhere we could be safe.
It's kind of a short, but action packed chapter. Sorry/: If I made any mistakes, it's cause I'm exhausted. So if you really want to, you can piss and moan about it all you want. Until next time, my dears…
