The Appocalypse

The Appocalypse-Chapter 2-Getting Help

We both had

Gone back inside and tried to eat some breakfast. We were pretty shaken up by what had just happened. Even though it was fun, the reality of things had sunken in. We realized that both of our families were probably dead or running dead things, which was kind of scary to think about. We turned on the TV and watched the news and watching the world end. There were reporters running around getting chased and eaten. It was unnerving to watch all that happen. People panicking, never thinking it would ever really happen. We sat there until every station was dead or dying. Then we tried to make a plan. We figured weed go to the gas station on the corner. We got bats, food, baseball helmets, and put it all in a bookbag.

When we reached the main road, it was deserted, not a thing. We walked to the gas station called 7-Eleven and found some water that seemed good and some non-perishable foods like chips and stuff. There

Was no one. Not a thing. We took a leak in the bathroom checking the stalls before we went.

"I wonder what the girls bathrooms look like? Ive never been in one, and there's no one around

To see" said Chandler.

"Dude, I seriously worry about you sometimes...but, what the heck, what could go wrong?" I said.

So we walked in there. No urinals, just stalls. "Wow. So that's what it looks like in here." I said.

"Ya..." he was checking all the stalls. He jumped back from the third one and yelped.

"what is it?" I said.

"it's....I don't know it's fat and ugly....and asleep? Dead? I don't know. Wait...it's neck is cut...someone's been here before us." he said.

"Wow, I wonder who did." I said.

"I don't know, but who ever did did it pretty brutally...it's got...stuff hanging out its mouth like it just got done eating. You don think it could have been that girl we saw, do you?" he said.

"No, I doubt it because she was running and screaming like a woose, so whoever did it is gone ahead of us." It did look pretty brutal though...and had a bitten chunk of its neck missing...almost as if there's a boss or something..no that's not right why would it kill it's own? I pushed that thought out of my mind.

We left the gas station, looking for any sign of blood or tracks to the persons whereabouts. "There!" I saw it. A dark red boot print on the concrete. "It looks fresh," Chandler said.

"let's follow the trail." So we did. And it led right into a gun shop. Dozens of guns lined the walls, so many I couldn't even count. We looked around. AK's, P99's, .50 cals, and even some grenades. We grabbed some and ammo, and turned to see a guy who looked about 26, black, big, and buff. I mean buff. This dude had muscles on his muscles. He had a shot gun in our faces ready to shoot. We put our hands up and said in unison, "we're just kids dude, we need help and could use yours." me and chandler looke at each other and laughed at the sentence. We sounded like those people in the movies.

"How can I trust you?" the guy said. He had a deep voice that sounded like a brass horn. "We have food and weapons and...stuff." I said.

"Dump the bags." We dumped them. Cans, chips , water, and our equipment littered the floor.

"Drop the guns." we did, but hesitated. He stood there silently.

"what's your name?" I dared ask.

"my name is Quaderrick. Just call me Quad."

"This is Chandler and my name is Alan. Can you get the gun out of my face?"

"Ya. It makes me feel weird." Chandler said. Quad lowered the shotgun, but not his guard.

" So, Quad, what happened to you?" I asked.

"I was here packin up the shop this morning and was watching the news. I called my wife to see if she and my kids were ok, and she answered and said,"Honey, what's going on?" Then I heard the screams from the phone and she dropped it screaming, an I didn't hear her again, so stayed here to see if anyone had survived. I guess I was lucky to find you guys. Itleast now I have some company."

"We think our parents are dead, but we don't know. Alan had just come to my house to stay the night and our parents wouldn't answer. So we were just lookin around for weapons and stuff, food and water. Then we found you." Chandler said.

"Do you have a ride?" I asked.

"ya I got a jeep in the back." Quad said.

"well need it if we're gonna get where we're going." Chandler said.
