Alex POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The door slams shut the second everyone's out, the one guy, Oliver, buckles down on the floor when we're out, letting out a dramatic gasp for air...we actually fucking made it....wheres Axel? And the Toby guy...?

"We....We made it!!"
River cheers.

"Hell yeah...!"
The stick guy cheers along.

"Uh...guys?"
I mumble.

"I thought we would be dead, i am so relieved!"
The blonde girl sighs.

"Guys."
I repeat.

"There was a second where i really thought we'd be cornered in there, thank fuck we're out...!"
Oliver says.

"Hey dumbasses, we're not all out!"
I shout, they turn to me.

"Eh?"
Conny hums.

"I heard Axel yell, but i never saw him actually walk out, and im pretty damn sure this is the only exit they could've reached in time...!"
I explain, Oliver scoffs.

"Im sure we're all here, we got you, Conny, me, this blonde girl, the big guy, and...."
Oliver stops, his eyes widening, the tall guy glares at Oliver, like he just realized who's missing.

"...why didn't you count (y/n)? Did anyone see (y/n) leave?!"
The blonde exclaims....shes worried about (y/n)? Not the others? Fucking dumbass.

"Oh fuck, Toby's fucking gone too...they could be trapped, we have to go back in there!!"
Stick guy says.

"Yeah, because the rotting dumbasses in there would love to see us all walk back in there."
I say blandly

"What other thing is there to do?? We must rescue the people trapped inside..!"
The blonde exclaims.

"Listen, hold your fucking horses, im just as eager as all of you, my brother is trapped in there and fuck knows what he'll do. But we have to use our heads, or we'll just be a damn meal for what's in there!"
I say.

"So now we're gonna be led by you? Christ, i regret my life choices."
Oliver mumbles.

"Alright 'o great one, how do we get in??"
Stick guy asks.

"Well....we could try to find a clear area with a window, then just open the window and climb in."
I say.

"An' if the windows locked?"
River asks.

"...we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, redhead."
I say.

"What did you just say? Ai', get over here and face your damn words!"
River growls.

"Lets just listen, sooner we get them back is the sooner he isn't leading us to our doom."
Oliver says.

"Oh fuck you, buzz cut."
I say.

"...why is he specifically pointing out hair?"
Stick guy mumbles.

Axel POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

....that isn't going to hold.

I pushed them both under a slightly opened game store, then closed it down when i rolled under the metal blinds. The dead are going batshit crazy outside...its not gonna hold for that long, not with that much weight hitting it.

"We'll be alright for now.."
I say, walking over to the two. Toby is still out cold, and (y/n)...they're just laying beside him, panting like a dog.

I lean down and put my hand on their forehead...they're burning up. I quickly move my hand away, and i see them suddenly going limp.

"Hey, stay with me, can you do that?"
I mumble, (y/n) just looks at me...like they're lost in thought.

"Yeah.."
They mumble.

I grab out the little pocket knife Alex gave me a while back, cutting the cast off their foot, a disgusting smell smokes across the store as the familiar red ooze smears from the opened wound.

"Fuck, you really did pull the stitches....that's a lot of blood for just one leg.."
I say.

"Can you fix it?"
They ask, their voice sounding tired...maybe the infection is why they're burning up? It cant be the dead, i haven't seen them get bitten...maybe its the stress and the blood loss mixed together that's making them so dizzy.

"Y-yeah, it's simple...we just need a needle and some thread...maybe some penicillin too."
I say.

"...do you have any?"
They ask.

"Well...no. But im sure a drug store or something has some. I just gotta look for it."
I say.

"Please hurry...i feel like shit."
They say....the energy their body used in the adrenaline rush of running, and the energy its still using to try fixing the open wound....its wasting itself away and doesn't even realize.

Those damn stitches i put in were sloppy, i should've taken the time to actually stitch it correctly...but i just had to be paranoid of that damn group finding me.

"Stay here, do you have any weapons on you?"
I ask.

"My axe."
They say, slowly pulling out a hatchet from their sides holster.

"Great, stay here and keep it ready, just in case i don't get back before something happens. I'll head through the backdoor and be back before you know it, alright?"
I say.

"Alright...be careful."
They mumble.

"I always am."
I say, getting up and walking off.

I open the door behind the counter, glancing at the two people on the floor for just a second before walking off....i won't be that long, it can't be far, the mall isn't that big...

....right?
