One Direction: Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 14: Ghost Town- Part One

Ghost Town: Part One

We pulled up to a town that looked deserted. The Immortals stopped chasing us. Thank god! We pulled up and looked around. No one was in sight. This was a ghost town. I found a sign and looked at it. It said 'Welcome to Pinestraw! We are Umerican, No?' I shook my head. French people.

"Looks like we are in some place called Pinestraw," I announced.

Everyone looked at each other and laughed at the name. We finally exited the bus, all armed, and looked around. There wasn't even a zombie in sight.

"This place is a complete ghost town! Not even zombies would want to come here. Even with the terrible name for the town," Zayn said.

"It is a bad name, isn't it?" Louis joked.

"Alright. We need to find a place to sleep tonight. Who has any idea's with these buildings?" I asked.

"Lets try the one that says 'Hotel'," Katie said.

We walked over to it. Everything was fashioned like it was in America, the western times. So we had to push open the doors. We walked in and were surprised to see a man standing there, just waiting.

"Hello. You come to rent a room?" He asked. He didn't sound French at all. He sounded... American.

"Wait. You haven't had the zombies attack?" Darby asked.

"Zombies? What are you talking about? Those things are just myths. Everyone knows that," He said.

"How far is this town from any other town?" I asked.

"About 400 miles. Why?"

"Thats why the zombies aren't here. It isn't in their interest. They don't know about this town. Excuse me sir, but does anyone else live in this town?" I asked.

"Sure. This town was modeled off of one of America's old western towns. We have a population of about 126 people. Close knit community. Everyone knows everyone. Last time someone died here was maybe four months ago. Now what is this nonsense about zombies?"

"Sir, the rest of the world is under attack by zombies. You are safe because you are 400 miles away from the next city. So, we need you guys to keep a low profile. Do you accept American money also?" I asked.

He nodded. I paid for the rooms and we all went to our rooms. We freshened up and I threw on a pair of jeans and a tanktop. It was hot here. I kept on my blue hightops and walked out of my room. I bumped into Harry.

"Oh. Hello, love," He said.

"Hey. Heading downstairs?" I asked.

"Yeah. I want to take a look around town. I am going to the local shop. Want to come?" I nodded and we went downstairs.

"Find everything to your likings?" The man asked.

"Yes sir. Thank you for letting us stay here," I said, politely.

"Anytime, little lady," He tipped his cowboy hat.

We walked outside and walked down to the little shop. There was a woman and a young boy. Well, actually, he looked about my age. Or around it.

"How may I help you?" The woman asked as soon as we walked in.

"Hi. We are just looking. We will call you if we need your help. Thank you, ma'am," I said.

"What a polite girl! I need someone like her to run this store!" The woman gave me a smile. I smiled back.

"How do you do that?" Harry asked.
