Zombie Apocalypse: Rise Of The Dead

Chapter 4 : More survivors

It's been like, forever since the apocalypse started! I haven't seen Mia since... Well, forever!!




Okay... Not really 'forever'... More like 3 hrs and 27mins whereas Mia? A week...xD




I stared out of the windows. My thoughts wandered over to my grandparents who were pretty rich and their house was a quadruple story terrace that had a lot of ground coverage covering the perimeter WHICH was being guarded by an electric fence and 4 German Shepherds. Pounce, Bite, Tough and Crazy. I know, weird pet names. Their house was more fortified than this place. Which is saying something. They had a huge room full of weapons and spare food.




Actually my dad didn't officially die. He went MIA while he was fighting in the army. He was some sort of 'general'? I guess? Anyway he was granted special access to the military weaponry.




Some people say my dad didn't die, instead, he was on some super secret spy mission. I chuckled to myself. Just thinking of him kept me going, telling myself that he was still alive.




"Jade you got to come down and who's here!!" Mom called from downstairs.




I scrambled to my feet and in an instant, i rushed down. Survivors?!




I ran down the stairs to find Charlotte sitting on my couch. Her clothes were torn and stained - probably with Zombie Guts. Eugh... She was panting which meant she ran here. In front of her sat a bloodied weapon. It probably helped her make her way here. A crowbar.




"CHARLOTTE! OMG!!"




"MY GOD, JADE!!"




We ran and embraced each other. "Weren't you having your drama club meeting when this happened?" I asked her, remembering as I pulled away from the dramatic reunion. "Yeah... Mr Lostan released us - sort of- when Mrs Khoh was bitten." She told me softly,"I got out safe and sound."




I raised my eyebrows, looking down at the tattered clothes. She glanced down at her torso, soon realizing what I was thinking of. "Don't stare at my boobs!" She exclaimed, raising her hands to cover them. Uhm... Spoke too soon. Only now I realized that since her clothes were tattered, I could see her bra xD funny.




"MaiGawd no! I meant that if you got out safe and sound, your... Your clothes are..." i told her solemnly. She then explained that they were rehearsing a zombie apocalypse part of their new drama performance and she was one of the survivors. Coincidence much?




"Jade?"




I spun round and spotted another girl. However she wasn't from Drama. "ALIKA!" I cheered, rushing over to her. I lulled away from the hug and asked, "OMG is there ANYONE else?!" I ask in excitement.




"Uhm... Hi."




That was a voice I didn't expect to hear. My excitement dropped and my heart beat faster.




It wasn't a female... It was... "Ryder?" I asked, cautiously. My heart raced faster. I even thought it would tear a hole through my chest and just jump out!! Gross I know but we're handling with zombies. NOTHING's worse than puking, dead, decomposing corpses.




"RYDER!"




I ran and pounced on him, wrapping my arms around his neck. Him, being strong and quick, caught me and gently lowered me to the ground.




"Haha ... Good to see you too babe-" we both paused and pulled apart. Ryder was my ex. We broke up 3 months ago when I caught him kissing Malentha behind my back. Even though shit happened, I still have feelings for him. We- wait, did he just call me babe??




"Uhh.. Ahem..." Alika cleared her throat, saving us all from the awkwardness.




THANK YOU ALIKA!




I turned to look at all 3 of my friends. Actually, this is half of my school clique... Well excluding Ryder. I wonder if they survived...




But wait, they're all from different Clubs! How are they together?!




"Char, you were in Drama training when this happened?"




"Yep." Charlotte answered swiftly.




"Alika, you had Band training is it? I thought you didn't have training today..."




"I did! Extra training... UGGGGHH anyway yeah I was!" Alika replied being hyper active again.




"Oh okay... Then, R-ryder ... You were having Volleyball training... R-right?"




Ughhh Why do I always stammer?!




"Yeap."




"Then... How did you guys meet?" It's not that I didn't want them to, it's because, they couldn't possibly meet! Their trainings are all over the school... How...




"Well," Charlotte started, sparing a quick glance to Alika. "As I was running out of school, I saw Alika fighting off some of those walking corpses and i grabbed that crowbar and well, you can guess the rest." I glanced swiftly at Ryder who added, "Also, When I was running out with my volleyballers, we got seperated in the confusion of teachers. I spotted Charlotte and Alika and many other corpses coming closer so..."




I nodded a response. Gross walking dead bodies! Even THEY were decomposing!
