Death Plague

"Who the fuck are you?" A girl asked. They had Geoff pinned against the door with two guns pointed at his head. He had his hands up and his rapier was on the counter a few feet away. Geoff could feel the zombies banging on the door behind him.

"She asked you a question. You're going to answer it," the guy with the gun said.

"I-I'm Geoff. I work here s-so I had keys. I was being chased by th-them and so I came h-here," Geoff explained. The girl lowered her gun but the guy kept his up. Geoff looked around at each person in the group, two girls, two guys, one of which has a gun to his head. At the moment he was Geoff's least favorite.

"Why didn't you stay inside like the news told you?" Gun boy asked. Geoff realised how stupid it was to leave but Mihael wasn't responding so he needed to check.

"I came to make sure my boyfriend was okay, but I got attacked instead," Geoff said. Gun boy gave him a dirty look and was about to say something when the other girl squealed.

"Rebecca, what the f-" "Did you say boyfriend? Like another guy?" She squealed again. Geoff had to cover his ears. The banging got louder and the first girl covered Rebecca's mouth.

"Sorry about her. She's a little, uh, well, she acts like a twelve year old on steroids," The girl said. "I'm Logan by the way. This is Rebecca, that's Ben and the one with the gun is Charles, Chuck if you wanna piss 'im off,"

"Yeah, I'd really rather not considering," Geoff said. Charles glared at him and Geoff got the feeling he already didn't like him. "Well, if I could stay here until they leave that would be great."

"And then you're going to go on your own? No way. You're staying with us," Logan said.

"Hey, why do you get to decide that? Who said you were the leader?" Charles glared at her.

"Alright let's vote. Who wants Geoff to stay with us?" Logan asked. She, Rebecca and Ben raised their hands. Geoff awkwardly half raised his as well. "And who want's me as the leader?" she asked as she kept her eyes locked with Charles'. The same hands stayed up. She smirked and crossed her arms. "So it's decided, I'm the leader and Geoff stays."

Charles turned and stormed away. Ben grabbed his rapier and handed it back to him with an attempt at a friendly smile, but it looked more like a stalker really. He looked to be in his last year of highschool or first year of college. Geoff smiled and gave a friendly nod and Ben's smile seemed a little more genuine.

Geoff checked over his sheath to see why he couldn't pull his sword from it before. When he found it he felt especially stupid. He had forgotten the sheath had a clasp to hold the sword in place. He released the clasp and his rapier came free easily.

Geoff strapped his sword back onto his waist. Rebecca ran over to him and dragged him over to some fold-up chairs then pushed him into one. She sat in the other one and flipped her brown hair out of her face.

"So tell me more about this boyfriend of yours," She demanded as she leaned in closer.

"Um, well, his name is Mihael, he has red curly hair, he's kinda short but he's really strong. Um, he's a youtuber like me, he likes yelling but when he does it with me it's playful, usually..." Geoff looked down as he remembered their fight. The yelling wasn't so playful then.

"Okay, but what about the important stuff, like who bottoms?" Rebecca asked excitedly. Geoff felt his face get hot as he blushed.

"That's a little personal isn't it?" He asked. He could hear his voice was higher than it should be. Rebecca laughed at him which only made him blush harder.

"Rebecca, are you interrogating him for us?" Logan asked from behind Geoff.

"If that's what this is then she's very thorough," Geoff said. Logan laughed and circled around so she was behind Rebecca. She ruffled her hair and said,"Sorry again, I can't seem to find an off switch for her."

Geoff smiled as Rebecca tried to swat at her without turning around. "You don't need to apologise, it's good that she's got such spirit," he said.

"Anyway," Logan said as she turned her attention back to Geoff. "You said you have keys to this place. You don't happen to have the key to the back room do you?"

"Of course I do, my keys are in my bag," Geoff said. Logan ran off to get it. Rebecca turned and asked, "You're not going to answer my question, are you?"

Geoff smiled and shook his head. Logan returned and dropped his bag in his lap. He pulled out his keys and handed them to Logan, then pulled out his phone to check the message he had gotten from Mihael. "Kinda". Well what does that mean?

He began typing quickly. "I almost died because of that text you better give me something way more specific than "Kinda" you Telltale prick." He sent back. Telltale prick was Geoff's insulting nickname for Mihael because of his love for telltale games. Mihael liked to call him Notch newb.

"Look out!" Ben yelled. Geoff turned around in time to see him pull Logan away from the door as a zombie lunged from the back room at her. Every one sprung into action. Charles pulled out his gun, Rebecca grabbed a screwdriver, Geoff pulled out his rapier, Logan grabbed a golf club and Ben grabbed the baseball bat leaning against the counter. He got it just in time to put it in between him and the zombie. Geoff recognised her as another one of the workers.

She knocked Ben to the ground and he used the bat as best he could to keep her off. Logan made a move to hit it but as she stepped forward, so did Charles. She tripped and fell and her golf club slid away from her. Geoff ran forward to save Ben, Charles tried to stop him but his training came in handy and he easily dodged it. He swung down and cut into the top of the zombies head, killing it. Ben used the bat to push her off and accepted Geoff's hand to help him up.
