Innocent Death.

Chapter 8:Beginning of the End

The figures moved,quicker.Limping,moaning, groaning. These were definelty walkers.

But how did they look so human like?

Suppose it was the light of the morning sun disguising their skin?

They moved in closer. Zoe loaded the bow with 3 arrows,ready to propel them.Sierra loaded the shotgun. Abbey took out her blade.Alec took out his too.Max clenched his fists.

These creatures came prepared.One with a chainsaw,one with a blade.One with a bat,another with a bent pipe. Most of them did not carry weapons,but the few that did we're threatening.The crews' heartbeats raced, and they could feel the adrenaline spreading through their veins.

It was war.

Zoe shot the 3 arrows.Sierra fired the shotgun repeatedly. They reloaded while Abbey and Alec ran in the mob,slicing and stabbing the creatures.The zombie with a bat came in,and came in swinging.Abbey grabbed the end of the bat,tugging at it.The zombie used the other end to push in,gutting her with it. Sierra aimed the gun at the zombie from afar, and shot it's head. Abbey grabbed the bat and swung other zombies with it,then stabbing them once they reached the ground.

Meanwhile,Max was punching and kicking zombies.The adrenaline rush gave him massive strength and speed.A zombie swung, he dodged. Zoe was shooting with the bow and arrow,making each shot fast and forceful. When a zombie for close,she pulled a blade out of her belt pocket and started stabbing until they fell to the ground,limp.

The killing was taking a while. Eventually, a pathway was found.All they had to do was run and get out of the mob. Abbey and Alec killed most of the zombies containing weapons,although one with a chainsaw and one with a blade was still going.

The chainsaw snarled as the zombie was ready to kill Max with it.Max looked up at it,shocked and helpless.All he had was his bare hands. Suddenly,a bullet rammed through the creature's skull, and an arrow pierced it's heart.The creature released the chainsaw, as it plumetted to the ground.Max ran back, dodging the chainsaw's fall as it would've hit him if he didn't. He looked to Sierra and Zoe,watching them fight for a second before continuing his fighting.This time,Max picked up the chainsaw. He started it,as it growled a mighty roar. He sliced zombies very easily now.

"Come on! A path! Run!",Zoe shouted as she pointed to the path into the pit of the walkers. She started running into it,using another blade from her belt pocket to slice any that got in her way. Sierra followed,using the shotgun to hit any that got near her.Max held up the roaring chainsaw as he followed, slicing the creatures that approach him.Alec gestured Abbey to go follow them.

"I'm not leaving you!",Abbey said.

"I'm only holding them off for you! Go and I'll follow!" Alec shouted.

Abbey ran,using the bat to whack the zombies' skulls. Alec had to make a run for it, using his blade only to kill the ones that tried to touch him. The rest of the crew waited for Alec to reach the end of the pit.

His body was seen. He is almost through.The crew is waving him to hurry. He runs and reaches the end of the pit.

The zombie with the blade stabbed his stomach and shoulder just as he reached the end of the pit.

Abbey screamed,running towards him as Zoe grabbed her,holding her back.Sierra ran back, and gutted the armed zombie with the shotgun.She took the blade from its dead hands and stabbed it,as it fell to the ground. She threw Alec onto her back,and made a run for it back to the group. The group sprinted,although to Sierra it was more of a jog since she had a man on her back.The zombies turned around,and were heading their way. Although it would be a far journey for them,given they limp and the crew sprinted.
