George Shelley & The End of the World

Chapter 9

*OLIVIA'S P.O.V* 

We were completely trapped. My head was spinning and my heart racing, but gripping onto George's strong hand made me feel safer... 

"How do we get out!?" Jaymi hissed, turning his head side to side to look at each of the groups of Zombies. They were just watching us, waiting for the right moment to close in. My hands began to tremble, we were staring death right in the face...

"Don't worry, Liv." George whispered, noticing my hand shaking. He leaned in and gently kissed my forehead for reassurance... it was such a bad moment for butterflies to explode in my stomach. Why did he have this affect on me all the time!? 

Suddenly, groans interrupted my thoughts as the monsters began to close in at us. "Shit." I panicked, looking between them both. JJ, Josh and Jaymi all huddled around me, George still holding my hand. He turned to me, his amazing brown eyes meeting mine, a look of worry and thought could be seen in them. 

He gave me a quick smile before letting his hand slip out of mine and run to the pair of zombies that were blocking the way to the exit of the factory. "GEORGE!" We all yelled simultaneously, but it was too late, he reached them, pulling a knife out his back pocket. 

"JJ, Come on! Jaymi, stay here with Olivia!" Josh instructed, running off after George. Jaymi took my hand and pushed me behind him as he turned to the other 3 approaching zombies. I could tell he was terrified, but making himself brave. 

They came closer and closer... We had no weapons. 

*GEORGE'S P.O.V* 

"ARGHH!" I screamed, slashing down on the things arm, causing it to drop clean off. But, no blood poured out, they were literally empty. My eyes widened at the fact that it didn't even flinch at my impact, it just kept coming. 

"George you twat!" JJ shouted as he and Josh joined my side. Josh pulled out a small black gun from his jean pocket. "DON'T!" I screamed, trying to grap the weapon off him but he pulled back. "Why!?" He asked fiercely, holding the gun out towards them. 

"It'll attract more of them!" I screeched, trying to grab it again. "This is the only way we'll be able to get away!" Josh argued, pulling the trigger so it was ready to shoot.

I sighed and stepped in front of the gun, knowing that he wouldn't shoot if I was in the way. "Josh, trust me, it will just make it worse." I said, as calmly as possible. Josh's eyes drooped and his arms lowered. I sighed with relief and was about to walk away when a cold, hard arm grabbed my neck and hauled me back.

"GEORGE!" Josh screamed, running forward. 

I struggled in it's grasp, feeling him trying to bite down on my skin. I clawed at it's hands that clasped around my throat, but nothing budged them. And, to make matters worse, I then heard Olivia scream... loud. 

JJ's head whizzed round. Jaymi was pressing her against the wall whilst kicking and punching at the zombies to stay away. "LIV!" I yelled, taking a deep breath as it's arm tightened around my gullet, the feeling of it's mouth trying to reach down to my skin made me squirm more.

Her head turned to face me, eyes widening. "JAYMI, COME ON!" She yelled, dragging Jaymi away from those zombies and running over to me. 

JJ was kicking at the other monster, before eventually crashing his foot down on it's head, silencing it. Now, their were 4 of them left, the 3 back there and the one that was trying to kill me...

"GET OFF HIM!" Olivia screamed, tears streaming down her face. She ran towards it, only to be caught and pulled back by Jaymi. 

The monster pulled my arm fiercely, forcing it to be outstretched as I screamed in pain. It's head bowed, getting closer to my arm. "NO!" Olivia screamed, pulling out of Jaymi's grasp and running forward. 

I felt it's cold, slimy lips connect with my skin, one more move and I would become one of them... I squinted my eyes tight and awaited the pain. All I could hear was the boy's yelling and crying, all wanted to push forward but they knew I would just push them back to safety. 

The pain never came. It's lips tore away from my skin, and it's arm falling limply off my neck. I coughed and spluttered for breath, JJ's hand reached out to me. I accepted and grabbed it, he pulled me up and pulled me into his chest for a hug. I could hear his heart beating so fast and his breath quick and sharp. 

I felt 2 more bodies wrap around me, everyone panting with fear. "What happened?" I asked, looking up at them. Josh bit his lip, turning his head to the floor. I followed his eyes, there stood Olivia, holding her metal rod that she always carried around, a grin stretched on her lips. She had knocked the thing out. 

She'd saved my life.

"LIV!" I screamed, running to her. I wrapped my arms around her waist, lifting her up in the air and spinning her round. "Okay! Put me down!!" She laughed. I smiled and placed her back on the ground, my hands still on her waist, hers on my shoulders.

"Thank you!" I whispered, smiling at her. She grinned back, "It's only fair, now we're even." She laughed, winking at me. I laughed, but then it faded, feeling myself get lost in her green eyes. She stopped as well, looking up at me and biting her lip. 

I felt my heart flutter as I leaned in, getting closer to her pink lips. She smiled slightly and closed her eyes before leaning in too. Our lips collided, sparks flying instantly as they moved in perfect syc. I smiled into her lips, my hand travelling up and down her back softly. 

"GUYS, ENOUGH OF THE SOPPY STUFF, WE HAVE TO RUN!" Josh yelled, pulling my arm so our lips broke apart as I was dragged behind Josh. I giggled and quickly grabbed Olivia's hand, pulling her with us. 

We got out the factory, the zombie's were to slow and unaware to act any quicker so it was easy to get out. 

Now, the hard bit... getting to Manchester refuge camp...
