THE LIVING DEAD

Survival

[Town of Milliopo]

"Don't ever do that again… you really scared the hell out of me" Bella told David after hugging him with tears of relief.

"Were is Lucian". David asked as Jacob pointed to the direction of were Lucian was, explaining to David how he got there.

David turned to the direction of were Jacob pointed and saw Lucian who was still sitting on the floor catching his breath.

David called out to Lucian and wave at him with joy, Lucian did the same with smile on his face. He stood up and made another jump back to the balcony to were his friends were and this time did not bruised his body that much cause he landed well. David rushed ,hugged him and said 

"thank you, you saved my ass"

...they both laughed and Lucian replied

 "birds of the same asses stick together right"

David nodded with a smile. 

'that was close, so what are we going to do next'"...Jacob said to the others

Bella replied "despite what we have just faced, we still have to make our way to the police station, we need protection"

"Bella is right" Lucian added "we have to go there and ask for their help"

He turned to David and asked him if he was okay to keep moving and David nodded affirmatively. 

"We have to find a way off this balcony and the fire escape is off the question since the alley is still overrun by the infected" Jacob suggested

"I totally agree with you..no more fire escape"...David replied jokingly

They looked around and saw the hatch used to gain access to the roof top, they quickly rushed to it and Lucian suggested they should be careful and quiet as possible as they know not what dangers lies in the building yet. They opened the hatch as quietly as possible and waited for some moment to see if the coast was clear, seeing that was no movement or noise of any kind, they decided it was save for them to go down the hatch, Lucian was the first to go down before others followed. When they have all gotten down the hatch using the ladder, they saw themselves at the passage of the apartments with doors facing each other. The passages and doors are covered with blood and flies buzzing around.

"I don't like this" bella whispered with shaking voice

"We just have to quietly make it to the ground floor out of these building" Jacob mumbled in a low voice.

They quietly move through the passage to gain access to the stairs which is at the other end of were the are. Midway through the passage, they came across a room with its door opened. They all stopped, David whispered 

"I think we should go inside and look for supply, I don't think anyone is in"

"Are you mental" bella replied "this is not the time to be curious or stupid"

"Am not being curious, David replied…look…we are a walking target with out any means of protecting ourselves, we can go in and look for supplies and weapon to protect ourselves just like in the game"

Belle who is now boiling in anger replied "are you kidding me…..are you kidding me right now, this is no game, you nearly got killed, we should just stick to our plan and get off this building"

Lucian who was listening to both of them argue told them to stop and said "as much i would like to disagree with David, he gives a good point"......"what" Bella whispered loudly in a rather disbelieving tone…..Lucian continued "listen…there is no one here to help us except us, and we can't defend our self empty handed and we cant also run forever, in order to safely reach our destination we have to prepare ourselves for the worse okay, i know you are scared.. we are all scared, but it has to be done okay"

Bella finally agreed so did Jacob but they were still afraid to go into the room, David gently push wide open the door to check for any sign of life but it wasn't clear if there was any, the four friends are now trembling with fear, it wasn't long before they heard a noise..but it wasn't from the room instead it was from the stairs, they were not sure what it was at first, then they heard it again this time much clearer, a sluggish footsteps making way up the stairs with wierd growling. Immediately, they all know what they were about to face, not having limited options, they all rush into the room not minding what to face in there. The noise made by shutting the door made the infected rushed to were the noise came from.

In the room, after shutting the door they still clinch there body against the door in fear, breathing heavily and also looking around the room for any more danger, they were a little bit relief after discovering that they were alone in the room. They locked the door and slowly back away from it, the can still hear the infected walking around the passage.

"What are we going to do know" Bella still trembling manage to speak out.

Lucian replied 

"We will figure that out later, now we have to search the room for food, supplies, weapon, anything of importance to us and bring them all here, go now"

They all started searching the rooms for food, supplies, anything that will help them in there situation, when they were through, they brought all they have found to the table were Lucian had told them to place it, they got some can food, beverages, fruits, including some weapons like kitchen knife, base ball bat and some gears like ropes and first aid box. Since they were all hungry after the shit they have been through, they made feeling their stomach their first agenda as they rationed the food after which they used the first aid box on themselves for the bruises and cuts they have received.

The room was silent for a while as they could her screaming and growling from a distance…."we need to get out from this building, my parents will be looking for me, i miss home "..Bella broke the silence as tears rolled down her eyes

David added

"How did all this happened, Milliopo wasn't ready for this"...

Lucian sigh and replied "nobody was ready for this, we have to look for help but firstly we have to rest, gain back our strength and first thing tomorrow morning, head to the station, we just have to be strong for the ones we love"
