Zombies: Big 8

Chapter Five

-----One week later-----

Jack's POV

"Flynn up." I tell Flynn seriously putting on my no longer blood stained hoodie and the girls stand behind me sort of sad.

Flynn sits up and looks at me, "what?" He asks then looks at the clock on the wall, "it's like 6am..." He adds and I nod.

"We're leaving." I tell him and his eyes widen.

"Jack no, we can't leave Merida and Blondie!" He yells at me and I shake my head.

"No we can't, that's why they're coming with us." I say and he looks at the girls confused and stands up.

"I thought you said you weren't coming?" He asks and Rap nods rubbing her arm.

"I wasn't going to but I promised Merida that I'd go with her if she came to my apartment with me and I don't break promises. Ever." She says seriously and Flynn looks at Merida shocked.

"You don't live here?!" He has the same reaction as I did when we discussed leaving last night and Merida shakes her head laughing at Flynn's priceless face.

"No, ma family live in Scotland, I'm just visiting Rap." Merida explains.

"She was an exchange student in freshman year, we meet up every summer and she stays here with me." Rap explains more and Flynn nods.

"Right just one more question, where are we going to go?" Flynn asks looking at me and I give him one of my pistols.

"Our hotel, we'll pick up our stuff then go to one of the mansions in the mountains, clear it out, then move in. We'll use the car from yesterday to get there." I say holding up the keys and he nods.

"Ok. Good plan." He nods and I look at Merida to open the door and she and Rap put their rucksacks on their backs and Merida takes away the chain from the door. Everything else was taken off the door before Flynn woke up.

Me and Flynn then run out the apartment and stay back to back and look for zombies but the coast is clear and they have left.

We then go infront of the girls who are unarmed and protect them. There aren't any zombies in the building, all of them have left. Weird...

Flynn stops at the door then looks back at us, "ok just run to the car, get in the back and don't stop." He says and the girls nod then he opens the door and runs out shooting at nearby zombies.

I get behind the girls and guard them as they get into the car and I shoot a zombie in the shoulder but it doesn't fall down. I then shoot it in the heart but it still doesn't fall. It starts to get close to me so I shoot it's head and it finally dies.

I get in the car and Flynn drives towards our apartment. Right I need to remember that, they only die if you shoot their heads.

"So you guys said you own a hotel, do you mean the whole thing?" Rap asks and I look back at her.

"It's complicated but yeah, the whole thing is ours." I tell her and she nods looking out her window still confused as to what I meant by 'complicated'. I meant my gang of street teens own it, it's our territory.

We park at the hotel and even in the apocalypse it's abandoned. "Get the emergency bags" I tell him and he nods then leaves and goes into the hotel alone and the girls look at me pissed off.

"You're saying you're a street kid, you lied to us?" Merida asks pissed and I shake my head.

"I wasn't lying, you never asked." I state and Rap looks out the window again not wanting to argue, she knows that they didn't ask so she isn't mad at all but Merida is very mad.

"You said you were at your parent's house!" She yells and I nod.

"Yeah I was but I don't live there." I say calmly but Merida is still angry.

"Why the hell don't you live there?!" She yells again and Rap looks at Merida.

"Mer that's personal he might not want to-"

"Because my dad abused me and my mom was a drug addict! I wanted to save my sister and that was the only opportunity I got!" I yell at her loosing my cool and Merida shuts up looking at me wide eyed and I look out the window.

"Jack I'm sorry she didn't-"

"It's fine." I cut off Rap again and she frowns nodding.

Flynn then comes out with the bags and gets out the car and hands me my bag which I put on. We then drive towards Hollywood Hills looking for our new home.
