"AUYYGGHH HES A FUCKIN' ZOMBIE!" Joven jumped, the motion knocking his glasses off. He had slightly zoned out on the balcony, not being able to see or hear much. He quickly kneeled down, scraping the frames up and shoving them on. Upon hearing the screams of Lasercorn and Wes, and Sohinki's exclamation, he quickly stood up, looking out at he intersection. He squinted, curse his vision, and was able to make out the flash of red and green in Lasercorn's jacket, and Sohinki's yellow one amongst the sea of people. He looked around more, still not being able to see Wes. People were screaming, and he noticed Sohinki turn around to run up to the cabin. Lasercorn began to follow, but Joven saw him stop and yell something he couldn't make out. Sohinki had stopped running at this point, though still much further ahead than the other two. After more chaos, Sohinki turned and continued running, quickly pursued by Lasercorn. Looking back a little farther, he saw Wes, running, and an unknown figure running behind him. Joven squinted more. Who was that? His train of thought was quickly stopped by more screaming.
"JOVEN, JOVEN IF YOU CAN HEAR ME OPEN THE DOOR! JOVEN!" he heard Sohinki scream, quickly joined by Lasercorn. Joven jumped, throwing off his blanket, and sprinted downstairs. He bolted through the house and threw open the front door, just in time to see Sohinki running up the driveway, Lasercorn not to far behind.
"What's going on?!" Joven yelled back as Sohinki and Lasercorn fell inside, panting. Lasercorn doubled back to the door.
"WES, RUN!" he yelled, jumping up and down nervously, Sohinki still hunched over and catching his breath. Joven looked around the door to see Wes close in on the driveway, still followed by the unknown figure. Sohinki jumped and grabbed the door.
"The second he gets in here I'm gonna slam it! Get ready guys! RUN WES!" Sohinki screamed, Lasercorn yelling in agreement. Joven was in shock, but got out of the way as Wes jumped up the porch stairs, and took a running dive to get in the door. He suddenly screamed, and landed chest first in the doorframe, halfway through. Joven's eyes widened as he finally got a look at the unknown person, his face smeared with blood and his pupil's whited out.
"Guy's, what the hell is that?!" Joven yelled, as Sohinki screamed. Wes began kicking the creature furiously, while trying to drag himself in the doorway. The group screamed in utter chaos, when Joven instinctively ran out to kick the creature, while Lasercorn decided to chuck his flashlight at it. Joven felt his foot connect with the things' head, and it stopped tugging on Wes for a moment. Wes took the opportunity to try and pull himself in, but Lasercorn had wound up and threw his flashlight with all his might, and it landed squarely on Wes's back. Wes yelped in pain, the bulky, old, flashlight having a significant weight to it. The creature had the same idea, and took advantage of Wes' pain to try and pull him back out. Lasercorn clutched his hands together.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" he exclaimed, Wes groaning, while still attempting to kick. Sohinki was still holding on to the door, eyes wide, ready to slam it. He suddenly heard banging, but it sounded like it was coming from behind him. He turned around, seeing movement at the back window. He gasped, and turned around to tell the group, but decided to wait until the situation at hand was resolved.
"Come on Wes! You can do it! Quick" Sohinki exclaimed, watching Wes struggle.
"The knife, take my knife!" Wes suddenly yelled, pulling a knife out of his pocket and chucking it at Sohinki. Wes finally found purchase on the creatures' shoulders, and began to push back with all his might. Suddenly, there was pain. More pain then Wes had felt in his life. He screamed as he felt teeth sink into his leg, Joven and Sohinki also screaming. Lasercorn suddenly gasped, reeling backwards.
"I'll go find a weapon!" Lasercorn began to run into the house, but Sohinki grabbed his arm, and fiercely whispered at him.
"There's banging on the back window. Wes is gonna die if we can't save him. We gotta hurry, find something and find it quick!" Lasercorn gulped, his eyes wide. Sohinki watched as the orange haired man disappeared into the house. Sohinki turned back around, watching Wes grab the heavy flashlight, groaning in pain. He began smacking the zombie over and over again, Joven yelling in fear. Sohinki quickly picked the knife up off the ground, and chucked it to Joven.
"Joven, stab it!" Wes screamed, groaning as each hit with the flashlight drove the creature's teeth deeper into his leg.
"Me?!" Joven exclaimed, holding the glorified kitchen knife in his hand.
"Do it!" Sohinki screamed, gesturing wildly at the creature. Joven gripped the knife in his hand, and tried stabbing the beast in the head. Joven misjudged how hard it was to stab a human being, and the knife grazed it. Sohinki yelled again, Wes still screaming. He tried again, firmly grasping the creature and pushed the knife through the temple. He felt it pierce bone, feeling a bit sick as the creature dropped limp. Sohinki immediately pulled Wes through, an alarming feat for his small body, and Joven quickly slammed and locked the door behind him. Sohinki and Joven both dragged Wes to his feet, and began to carry him upstairs, the three finally noticing the banging coming from the back living room window. Once Wes was safely laid down on a bed, Joven quickly ran downstairs to check on Lasercorn. He finally came across his friend in the kitchen, kneeling on the floor shaking, tears leaking from his large brown eyes. He ran towards Lasercorn, and clutched his friend's hands. Joven was no stranger to Lasercorn's panic attacks, though they were few and far between. He knew the situation must have overwhelmed the normally mischievous and light-hearted man.
"Lasercorn? Lasercorn! David! Dave! hey Dave, buddy. It's me, Joven!" He exclaimed, squeezing Lasercorn's hands tighter.
Banging. On the back door, on the front. Wes is in trouble. Weapon. Joven's about to fight. Gotta fight.
Lasercorn was rushing through the house, furiously looking from side to side. He felt his breath hitch and he began shaking nervously. He stopped in the kitchen, clutching the counter, pulling his green winter coat closer around him.
They were all gonna die. They were all gonna die and he couldn't do anything. The room was swirling around him, he could hear Sohinki and Wes screaming. more banging. Tears were running down Lasercorn's face, as he struggled to catch his breath. Suddenly he heard more commotion, a door being slammed. He saw a flash of brown and yellow, headed toward the staircase. More screaming. Lasercorn brought his hands to his ears, kneeling down, tears still flowing. Bang bang. make it stop. bang.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands around his own, and the murky sounds were becoming clearer.
"Lasercorn? Lasercorn! David! Dave! hey Dave, buddy. It's me, Joven!" Lasercorn attempted to focus more and finally was able to concentrate on Joven in front of him.
"Hey buddy, it's okay. Wes is okay. We're all okay! This is a scary situation but we have to work together. Where's the brave Lasercorn we all know?" Joven reassured him, squeezing his hands. Lasercorn nodded the shaking beginning to stop. Joven pulled him into a hug, and he gladly accepted. They stayed together like that for a while, until Lasercorn finally felt calmer. Well, as calm as you could in this situation.
At this point, Sohinki had come running downstairs, looking for Joven and Lasercorn. He finally found them in the kitchen, noticing Lasercorn's tear stained face but decided not to comment.
"Guys, Wes needs someone to heat up a pan down here, I think for his leg or something. Can someone also go help him with the first aid kit? Whoever doesn't needs to come check out what was causing the banging with me." Sohinki exclaimed, out of breath from all the action. The banging had stopped a few moments ago, but the group still felt uneasy. Lasercorn turned around and grabbed a pan, placing it on the burner, which gave him more time to catch his breath.
"I'll go help with the first aid kit. I'll check out the living room with you real quick though." Joven said, and the three quietly headed out to the living room to see what was happening. Sohinki got close to the window, the lights from the outside porch dimly illuminating the snow outside. A dark figure was hunched over another figure in the snow, and the group groaned in disgust as they realized it was eating from the fallen figure. It shoveled human insides into his mouth, but took no notice of the three in the window. Sohinki squinted more, making out sandy blond hair and a muscular physique in the figure being consumed. He gasped, and backed away from the window. He grabbed Joven and Lasercorn's arms, swallowing.
"Oh my god. Shayne's dead."
