The Prototype: No hope

CHAPTER NINE: SURROUNDED

Zaiden: Well I'm leaving, whether you two are following or not.

I wasn't going to leave them here, but maybe I could scare them into following. It clearly wasn't working. They were sitting on the road, staring at me angrily. I knew I had to try I different tactic.

Zaiden: You do realize that when ur a zombie u probably won't even see Izzy or Chenaya. You'll probably be marching around next to Bailey or Bruin or some shit.

They both jumped up.

Mahala: Oh fuck no let's get outta here.

River: Never wanna see Bailey again.

I smiled, glad that was all I needed to convince them. I hopped into the car and we started driving once again.

Sydney. We were finally here. Our trip from Brisbane to Sydney was not an easy one. We lost three people. But we would get them back. Except Bailey because who gives a shit about him.

Mahala: Finally.

River: There better not be zombies here.

Zaiden: You've just fucking jinxed us.

River: OH SHIT.

Mahala: RIVER HOW COULD YOU.

Zaiden: Let's sacrifice her.

River: I will crash this car right now.

We started to drive through the streets. I stared up at every building, worried about what might be hiding inside. I kept a sharp lookout for zombies or survivors.

Mahala: Whatcha lookin for?

Zaiden: Zombies. Survivors. Anything living.

Mahala: Lovely.

Zaiden: We'll save them Hala. I guarantee it.

Mahala: I know. Unless there is a hoard here.

Zaiden: I'm honestly more worried about the hoard behind us.

Mahala: They all had to come from somewhere right?

Zaiden: I wonder how many zombies are actually in Australia right now.

Mahala: Probably most of the population.

Zaiden: Shit that's a lot.

River: If y'all don't shut up.

Zaiden: Let's just get to the harbor already.

We drove trough the streets, wearily looking up at the surrounding buildings. We drove for about ten minutes till we reached the Sydney Harbor bridge.

The good news, the harbor was on the other side. The bad news, there a zombies. LOTS of zombies. I heard a groan behind us and what I saw when I turned around shocked me.

The zombies had caught up. There were zombies surrounding us. As far as the eye could see, zombies.

Zaiden: You're fucking joking.

Mahala: Of course this happens when we're this fucking close.

River: I love y'all.

Zaiden: We aren't dying.

I hopped out of the car and assessed the situation.

Zaiden: We could jump off and swim?

Mahala: You're an idiot.

Zaiden: I know but it's our best shot.

River: Worth a shot. We're dying either way.

Zaiden: Very optimistic River.

We looked down at the river under us. I wasn't the best swimmer, but I could probably make it, it's not far. We decided to drive right in front of the zombie hoard. They were all motionless, as if they were waiting for something.
