Outbreak! Virus 'Z'

Chapter 3: The split

Samurai's P.O.V.

After we confirmed a name for the beasts, we began thinking of a plan. "We need weapons for everyone." Larry stated. Gaby chuckled. "Well then I guess that means we're heading to my house. I've got weapons as far as the eye can see. I even took the time out of my life to modify a few of them." "No way, my house is better stalked with weapons than yours will ever be." Brandon boasted. Gaby's eye twitched again. "Alright smarta**. You think you're better off by yourself fine by me. I only brought you here because Bobo wanted you to be here. I could honestly care less about what happens to you." Gaby hissed. She seems pissed. "Well whatever I didn't ask you to get me I was fine on my own." Brandon argued. "Yeah almost getting eaten is your definition of fine." Gaby barked. "Wait what?!" Bobo was shocked to hear the news of how we found him. "It's okay, I'm alright." Brandon comforted her. "Yeah because I saved your sorry a**." Larry declared. Brandon glared daggers at him and Gaby. Gaby was unfazed.

It was settled that we would split into two teams and meet up at a park close to the school. Team G had Gaby, me, Larry, Jorge, and Malisson. Team B had Brandon, Bobo, Cathy, and Jennifer. We went straight to Gaby's house since it was a ways away. Once there Gaby used her necklace to open the door. We ran in since we were being chased by some raised. Nobody was home. "Okay so my family doesn't believe in guns for the apocalypse since they cause a lot of noise so we have the best melee weapons out there." Gaby said after we all entered the house and shut and locked the door. We all nodded in understanding of our choices.

"Sam-sam!" Gaby called out. Soon after a rather large German Shepard tumbled down the stairs. It stopped right in front of her. Gaby pointed at all of us and said, "protect." The dog barked once and trotted over towards us. It took its time to recognize all of our scents. "This is Sam-Sam or Samantha. She is my lovely little puppy. She will protect us at all costs since I saved her when she was young." Gaby announced. Sam-Sam barked and wagged her tail.

"Alright! Emma come with me real quick. You guys wait here, scream I you need us." Gaby said as she grabbed my arm and dragged me upstairs. I've never really been to her house so this was kind of exciting. We entered what I assume was her bedroom. She opened her closet and started throwing random thing out. Finally she found what she was looking for. A rather large katana was sitting at the back of her closet. She pulled it out and handed it to me. Gaby spoke calmly. "Here, I trust you with my favorite katana. My dad gave it to me in case of an emergency." I hesitantly took the blade and scabbard out if her hands and examined it. There was a dragon design running along the whole length of the scabbard. It also had two small knives on each side of it. I slid the sword out halfway to reveal a shiny blade that looked like I could cut myself just looking at it. I put the blade away and held it close. "Thank you." Was all I could say. Gaby nodded. "No problem! Besides we're best friends, I trust you!" I smiled and pulled her into a hug. We then walked downstairs to the rest of our people.

Archer's P.O.V.

"Larmalade your up!" Gaby called out. I reluctantly stood up from where I was sitting on the ground. "You guys know you can sit in the kitchen, right? It's right next to the stairs." Gaby pointed towards the stairs to prove her point. Everyone slowly got up and made their way to the kitchen. "Alrighty then." Gaby said as she grabbed my arm and dragged me to a narrow hall near the stairs. In the hall was a door to the right and one at the end. We walked to the door at the end and entered what I believe is her garage. She let go of my arm and walked up to a large safe. She turned the knob a few times then put in a four digit code. She then placed her thumb on a scanner. Talk about excessive. Finally the safe opened to reveal a bunch of weapons. Gaby pulled out a crossbow and a pouch that was filled with rods. She handed me the pouch and crossbow. "I knew how you always wanted to be a sniper. Sadly since we don't have guns this is the best we got. I even put a scope on it for you!" Gaby chirped. I was astonished that she modified this especially for me. I took some time to examine. It was well kept and looked as if it was made like this already. I smiled at how much of a good friend I have. "Thanks Gabberdink." Was all I was able to say. She smiled sweetly at me and patted my shoulder. "No prob!" She responded. We left the garage.

Samurai's P.O.V.

Larry walked up to us with a very well crafted crossbow in hand. He wouldn't take his eyes off of it. "Hey uncle, come here!" Gaby called out to Jorge for him to go to that room back there. He jumped up and walked over to her. They left into the room, the door shut behind them. I looked at the katana Gaby gave me. There was something tied around the handle. I untied it and looked at a handkerchief with a note attached to it. I red the note to myself. 'Use this handkerchief to clean the sword after use of murder' I chuckled at the note. That sure is Gaby.

After about ten minutes Jorge walked out with a machete and two pocket knives. Malisson got up by herself and made her way to Gaby. Into the room they went, out of sight. Jorge took the machete out of its holder and looked at it. It looked about as sharp as my katana. Gaby must have taken real good care of all her weapons. I saw something carve ini the handle of the machete. I squinted to see what it said. Frustrated from not being able to see it I asked Jorge something. "Hey Jorge, what does it say on the handle of your machete?" Jorge looked up at me then looked at the handle. "It says 'Y.E.F.'" Jorge answered. I looked at him questioningly and he just shrugged. Larry spoke up. "Hey doesn't Gabberdink usually put that on all her drawings?" "Oh yeah!" I spoke without realizing. We all looked at each other and checked the handle of all our weapons. They all had 'Y.E.F.' etched into them. I guess that means Gaby took care of these all by herself.

Malisson came out with a metal fan that had sharpened edges. She was also given a pouch of throwing knifes. We checked her weapons for the sign. They did have it. Gaby went upstairs to get something. She came back down with a baseball bat covered in barbed wire fastened to her back. She was also holding brass knuckles that had spikes on them. She then gave Larry a pocket knife. "Sorry, almost forgot to give you this!" Larry nodded. Gaby also had a pocket knife for herself and everyone else in team B, except for Brandon. We then decided to visit everyone else's houses that were near by.

After a few stops we started heading towards the park. When we were at the school we heard a scream. We all froze. Someone was in trouble. But should we even risk it? Why did this have to happen?
