•••••They were all prepared including Jennine."Are you sure you guys really want to come with us?" Justin asked the trio. "I think it's best to just wait here for us.""I think he's right. You'll only put the kid in danger." Binna spoke."And just like you said, one way in to the capital and one way out. We'll definitely come back and fetch you guys." Kate spoke.The three of them glared at each other. "Fine. But I'm going with you." Eli spoke."Count me in too." Alain piped in."But what about Jennine and I?" Nathaniel asked."You have to stay here with her. We'll come back to fetch you guys once we get the golds." Eli assured him."Ya'll be safe out there." They nodded their heads slightly.Eli went to meet Jennine that was in Nathaniel's arms. She looked like she was going to burst out in tears really soon."I'll be back, I promise. Be a good girl to uncle Nathaniel."The next second, heavy tears streamed down her cheeks. He carried her in his arms and started dabbing her back ge
As they walked further, a sound coming out from a toy right behind them caused them to be suddenly alarmed. Their guns went shoulder level as they turned around immediately. Shock plastered on their faces and their eyes almost as though it will bulge out from their eye sockets."Jennine.....?" Everyone echoed in both fear and shock.She looked at them and smiled. "Daddy...." She called out loud and the sound coming out from the plane toy which she picked up from the ground, was causing a whole lot of noise.Few minutes after they have left, she studied Nathaniel very well. He was so engrossed to the book he was reading that he didn't hear her leave. Nathaniel was actually a boring type and he doesn't know how to play with kids like Eli and Alain. Eli was the only one who played endlessly with her, and Alain, sometimes. She got bored up immediately and concluded to go look for Eli, which she calls daddy. She didn't know how she found her way out of the building. She had no idea where s
The zombies drew their attention to the moving truck blowing out loud horns and immediately, they ran over to the truck. They knew that the truck will not go too far before they'll get to him. As Nathaniel drove the truck pass them and was also blowing the horns, he was yelling at them to run.Alain broke down immediately. He wanted to go save him, but Kim had clutched him tight around his wrist. More tears streamed down from his eyes, knowing fully well that, that will be the end of Nathaniel. It'll be impossible to survive that.Nathaniel had been like a brother to him. He was more comfortable when he was around Nathaniel than Eli. Ever since the zombies apocalypse, they have done lots of fun things together. Even if they teased each other most of the times, their love for each as though they were brothers, was out of this earth."We need to move." Justin ordered from the top of his voice the moment all the zombies left their area.Eli quickly opened the door he had locked Jennine a
With speed, he took the next route by the right, but no. Those creatures were still chasing at them endlessly. Because they're fast runners, they have almost caught up to their car. He had to think of a way to get rid of those zombies. But what?Smith on the other hand, was burning up with nausea. The immense fear residing in his body was causing him to feel dizzy. Suddenly, one came leaping up to the car and Smith immediately passed out in both shock and fear. Kim and Alain looked more angry at Smith suddenly passing out, but they'll deal with him later. There was a more bigger problem at hand to tackle at the moment.The other crawled up to the roof of the car, while the other started breaking the windows. Thankfully, it was bulletproof, but their hearts were still going haggard in their rib cage. Seeing that the glass wasn't breaking easily, the zombie has started heading the glass forcefully till it made some cracks. Justin forcefully marched on the break pedal, and the zombies th
Alain took the next jump after Kim did, only for him to loose balance and fell on the ground. He groaned in pain cause of his twisted ankle. But that didn't stop him. He got back up on his feet and continued running. The zombies that fell off as they tried jumping to the other building, got back up on their feet and started chasing Alain. Alain ran as though his right leg wasn't bad anymore."Find a building Alain." Justin spoke from the top of his voice on the rooftop as he kept on running. His eyes was also on Alain as he continued running on the roof. "Alain....." He screamed his name as one almost got on Alain.Alain was quick and took the right, causing the zombie that was about pouncing on him to fall on the ground. Almost immediately, he barged on a door and strictly locked the door from inside. The double doors were not strong enough to hold the zombies that had begun banging on the door. He just realized that he was now in an hotel and he quickly ran to the elevator. He pushe
Smith had continually peed on his body - not knowing how or when - because of the thudding of the marauding zombies that kept banging fiercely on the door endlessly. After his breathing has finally vapoured out clearly, a dark miasma filled his nose. He wondered where that solid stench was coming from.The room he entered was a small and tight confined room, with a little window peeking a little sunlight to the room.He searched everywhere and there was no sign of where the smell was coming from. His eyes then caught a rectangular ancient box that was slightly opened. Just by its size, he knew the box was big enough to contain a full human in it.Adjusting his glasses and sweats raining down his whole body, he took small trembling steps to the place where the large box laid. The smell became stronger as he got closer to the box. Still, he endured every smell and now stood before the box. His only prayer was that what it was he was thinking in his mind should not be what it is. It must
Alain, on the other hand, socked himself in the soft bed as he thought about Nathaniel. He just could not believe that Nathaniel was no longer with them. He must have turned into a zombie by now. As he remained motionless, tears threatened to fall from his eyes.He shut his eyes and immediately opened them upon hearing the sound of an ice-cream song. The sound was still light because it was coming from afar, but he knew from how it sounded that it was connected to a speaker or something like that. Thus, the zombies banging on his door have not heard it. He quickly got on his feet in search of a way out. He could not jump from the window. He'll definitely die from the distance to the ground. He also tried looking for a way through the ceiling, but it was still impossible. There was no f*****g way out of the room. He looked at the door where the zombies continued banging heavily on it, and he could only swallow. If those zombies continue banging on that door more, there is a possibility
"We're right outside." Kate spoke over the walkie-talkie."Roger that," Justin replied.Justin and Kim walked out of the building. Since their road was clear after they had peeked, they walked out of the building. Kate used the car's flashlight to signal to them that she was in the car."Where're the rest?" Kate spoke as they shut the door."I think we have to wait a bit for them. We got separated." Justin spoke.She nodded and started making light noises with her finger on the steering wheel as they continued waiting patiently for them."Binna...? Where is she?" Kim asked after the long silence that reigned in the car."Binna and Kenji are in the ice-cream truck. But don't worry, they'll be fine. They had a plan, and I think it's going great.""And the rest?""They're in a safe place. Jennine too." She spoke to him while looking at him through the mirror.He nodded. There was no need to worry about Binna. He knows very well that she is a very courageous woman.It was now dark and the
"What uh? Does it hurt to know the truth about being blind. I'm mad, but I can see clearer than you do.""Shut the fuck up, you asshole." She spat and cocked her gun.Their eyes flew wide open as soon as they realized what she had just done. They froze for a second, their hearts thumping wildly in their chests. They threw a glance at each other, knowing it was the end for them. No. Not for Binna.The two of them started running up the stairs. They could hear them coming in their direction. This time, for sure, they'll be crucified.They halted their steps at the sound of fireworks exploding from outside. Their brows crunched, and they could hear the zombies averting their attention and running speedily to the place where the sound was made.Another set of fireworks played again, and shortly after, the building became quiet. But they first stood there for a minute to make sure everything was clear. When it was, they tiptoed to peek to see if it was indeed clear. It was, and they separa
When she noticed that the zombies were now on the move, she quickly threw the matchet to her targeted place, where it hit the metal, and hid herself back. As the metal and the matchet collided to create the sound she was looking for, the zombies immediately diverted their attention from Kenji to where the sudden, sharp sound was created. Kenji, on the other hand, did not bother wasting a single second in forcefully pushing the door as soon as she threw away the matchet.Binna quickly crawled and went to where Kenji was. "You alright?" Kenji asked as he successfully shut the door.She leaned her back against the wall, trying to get a breather. That was one hell of a move, but she couldn't say it. She just gave him a thumbs up, indicating that she's alright."What next? Those zombies are probably hovering around the exit of the building. So what now? You got any plans?"She straightened up and glared at him. "We'll still push through with this. We have nothing to lose, especially now t
"Be careful out there, you both." "You too." Binna spoke and nodded her head. The two of them turned their backs on him, ready to leave the room.Kenji used the matchet while Binna took the gun she had loaded with bullets earlier. This is one hell of a sacrifice.Slowly, they opened the door slightly and peered right outside. Seeing that the entrance was clear, she slowly and carefully opened the door more to create more space for them to step out. Kenji peeped again, both left and right, and signaled to her that the road was clear. While prayers were chanting in their hearts, they took a step out of the door and shut it. Binna and Kenji removed their shoes to avoid creating clicking sounds with them on the tile. Their hands tightened on the tools they were both carrying. The building, at the moment, is extremely quiet. Eery quiet. The zombies who were creating lots of chaos earlier by running helter-skelter in the mall looking for their prey were now quiet. But Binna and Kenji kept
Justin, Binna, and Kenji hid in one room. Everyone's heart increased in beat. Sweat was dripping non-stop from their bodies, and prayers were chanting continuously in their hearts not to get caught by the zombies. They could hear the zombies' snarling, and it was getting louder, which means they were getting closer to where they hid. Their breathing ceased as they heard one of them passing by their door. Their throats worked up and down, and their sweat flooded their entire bodies. Their bodies jerked up in fear, and their heartbeat fastened more as one of them hit their door while they were still running. Their hearts finally relaxed a little afterwards."Where is Jennine?" Justin asked Binna in a whisper."She's with Kate and Eli." I'm pretty sure she's fine. She also whispered.He just nodded his head and slid to the ground carefully because of his injured leg. When will this end? They've done enough marathon racing today. Justin's leg began bleeding again, and Binna quickly used a
Smith just sat on the ground, leaning his back on the wall. Justin's eyes went furious the moment he saw Smith. Everything he did earlier came flooding back to his mind. He walked angrily to him and caught Smith up by the collar, grasping his collar tight with one hand. He shook him violently, and a punch landed on his face. Argh! He had been wanting to do that for ages now."What did you think you did out there, you asshole?" He barked at him angrily and landed another punch on him. "Because of you.... Just because of your fucked up brain, Nathaniel got bitten and is no longer with us." He landed another blow on his face, and Smith fell to the ground."Take me back to Lee. I don't want to turn into a zombie. Take me back." He cried out.Before Justin could do any further damage, Alain grabbed Smith's collar and punched him twice in the face. Smith started bleeding, because his punches were heavier than Justin's. Alain's punch consists of pain and anger residing in him after he has los
