Running Alive

Chapter 2.3

Niall and Julia, with stealth and caution, slowly went to the front of the van and peeked at both of the eaters on the left and on the right side of the van. Before they went to the van...

Niall: Hey Julz.

Julia: Yeah?

Niall: What do you like in a guy?

Julia: What I like about a guy? Why?

Niall: Nothing, it just popped out of my mind.

Julia: It's not the best time to answer that. We're on a mission, remember? *smiles*

Niall: Oh yeah...

Then they went to the front of the van and...

Julia: You ready, Niall? *smiles*

Niall: I'm always ready! *smirks*

Julia: Let's do this! *smirks*

Julia whistled and peeked at the right side of the van so the eater will notice her. Luckily, the eater noticed her and went to her direction. She readied her dagger. The eater is close enough and she stabbed the head. Next, Niall smacked the head of the other eater with a wooden plank. It didn't die so...

Niall: Julz! Kill it!

Then she stabbed the head and it fell down. They did a hi-five and before returning to the brick wall, they got the pillow and continued to walk towards the group. Next Ashton, Alyssa, Louis and Calum went to the lurker, covered its face and shoot it. They hid again so that the three remaining won't see them cause they looked down for a second and continued banging on the door. Then they pushed the car and it trapped the other eater near the fire-axe. Then Harry stabbed the eater's head and Louis had broken the glass with some fire-axe in it.

Louis: Zayn, here you go! *throws fire-axe*

Zayn: Thanks man.

Julia: Niall and I will be on your backs if something shitty is about to happen. Be careful you two. *smiles*

Zayn: Thanks. *smiles back*

Then they went up with Niall and Julia behind them and they killed both of the eaters near the door and they heard again a person screaming...

???: PLEASE! GO AWAY! 

Ghiel: *knocks on the door* Come on miss! Let us in!

The woman didn't open it nor spoke for a couple of minutes...

Zayn: Alright let's go.

Ghiel: No... Miss, we're gonna get in whether you like it or not.

Then she grabbed the axe in Zayn's hands and forcefully swings the axe at the door until it breaks and then the woman went out so that they would stop breaking the door.

Julia: *eyes began to open wide* Holy--

Niall: Sh-she's--

???: That's why I kept telling you to go away! My group locked me here for their safety and then I found out that they left me and it's been 5 days since they left!

Ghiel: We have a group and we also have a doctor so--

???: No! No one can cure a bite! No one can stop it from spreading! No one... 

Ghiel: Then what do we do?

???: You'll have to shoot me. Right now.

Julia: Woah woah woah!

Zayn: Miss, there's no need for that!

???: I j-just want to end all of-of this bullshit! I don't wanna be like THEM. They're-they're satanic.

Ghiel: Miss, we can't do that! 

Then the woman noticed that Niall is holding a pistol.

???: *looks at Niall* Hey may I borrow your gun?

Niall: *suspicious* What do you mean 'borrow'?

???: If my friends can't do it and you can't do it, I'll just have to do it by myself.

She noticed that the way they're acting is a sign that they disagree.

???: *runs to Niall* PLEASE! *tries to grab gun from Niall*

Then they tried to stop the woman but she's kinda strong... When Luke saw them, he noticed that the terrace's floor can't support their weight cause it's old and...

Luke: Guys! The terrace is gonna--

Then a part of the terrace broke and the all of the people on it crashed at the ground and the woman grabbed the gun and all of them were scared...

???: You can't stop me now.

Ghiel: *calming voice*  Woah, miss. There's no need for that. We can help you fix your problems and-- NO NO NO NO!!!

Before she could finish the woman shot herself on the head and fell down. They were all shocked and can't say a word. Then Julia went to the woman and she picked up the gun with her hands trembling and the others are too shaky to walk to the van... They went to the van and drove to a highway covered in trees and plants.
