Left 4 Dead II

Chapter 7: Blazing Trouble

Rochelle watches as the figure runs after her, she closes her eyes as if to say a prayer, knowing the end's coming now.

Then a gunshot is heard, & the figure drops. Blood seeping out from it's head, not moving anymore.

Coach comes out from behind a flaming couch, coughing some & looks at Rochelle,"didn't think we'd forget about you already?"

Rochelle holds onto her stomach as it continues to hurt,"what the hell was that?"

Coach goes over & grabs Rochelle's hand, picking her up,"there's a word for them, I think it was a zombie".

"A wha_?"

"We gotta get you outta here" Coach puts Ro's arm over his head, leading her out of the hotel room & out into the corridor.

"Whoa. Is that...? A zombie ? Like a, like a ZOMBIE zombie?" Ellis's redneck accent can be heard back in the room.

"C'mon Ellis, we have to get out of here before this building falls down on us" Coach yells out.

"I ever tell you about the time me & Keith made a homemade bumper car ride with ridin mowers in his backyard ? Mower blade wounds over 90% of his body. I didn't run him over, either. He just somehow, managed to fall under his own" Ellis tells them as he walks into the corridor, a small explosion erupted in the room.

"Ellis, how does that help us get the hell out of here? & where's that...Nick guy at?" Coach walks towards an elevator down the hallway, then heard something like a laugh behind them, mixed with an angry growl.

"Man, I hope we don't meet whoever's makin that noise" Ellis stops, hearing it too.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't sound very nice" Rochelle continues holding onto her small wound on her stomach.

"AHHH, hoodie dude" Ellis yells out as something jumps out from the flames wearing a hoodie pouncing on him like there's no tomorrow.

Coach grabs at his handgun, aiming & pulls the trigger towards the hooded attacker, hearing it cry out after each shot.

Nick would come from behind, with his pocket knife in hand, drove it into the thing's head watching it drop dead.

"Where the hell did you come from?" Coach asks Nick.

"Just ran into two things similar to this one" he nods to his comrades,"whatever this virus did, it not only turned everyone into hungry zombies. It also mutates them".

Coach nods to Nick, turning to Ro,"we got to get the hell outta here".

Ellis got helped up by Nick,"thanks!"

"Come on" Coach presses the button for the elevator.

"If it didn't work bef-" but stops himself, hearing the noise for the elevator.

"That was on the other side, El" Coach turns around, infected start running towards them after hearing the noise.

"I think they may be attracted to me" Nick suggests.

"Or sound" Rochelle responds back, leaning against Coach,"do they ever stop?"

"For a meal" Ellis points his gun, and starts shooting at them as does Nick & Coach.

"Be sure to aim for the head, I believe that's how it works" Coach calls out, dropping the infected with ease.

"What the?" Nick cries out as something grabbed his leg, a long tongue & immediately trips him and drags him towards the flames & infected.

Ellis runs after Nick, shooting down a few more infected, trying to aim at the tongue.

Coach would focus his aim, pulling the trigger as it went flying, hitting a taller figure in the distance as it immediately let Nick go disappearing from sight.

"You okay man?" Ellis asks, looking around at all the bodies.

Nick sits up, taking deep breaths,"never thought I'd be killed by a tongue before, was that even a tongue ?"

"Drag me to hell, by your tongue. Now that would be a great movie title" Ellis helped Nick up as the elevator arrived. All four huddle inside.

Coach notices a paper on the ground, he picks it up, reading it.

"What...what is that?" Rochelle asks.

"Looks like itching from CEDA" Coach reads.

"See who?" Nick asks.

"Report unusual behavior. Barricade your homes. Avoid all contact with infected individuals....wait for official instructions" he crumples up the paper, dropping it,"wait my ass".

The elevator reaches it's destination, making a noise as Ellis reloads his gun,"Kill all Sum bitches. That's my fial instructions."

A huge roar is heard off into the streets, as a car goes flying. A military tank gets crushed in it's awakening. A crashed CEDA truck got thrown at what's left of the military.
