Hey guys, it's been a long fucking time and I'm super sorry. I've had a lot of shit to do these past few months. But hopefully you'll enjoy this chapter.

~Elliot's POV~

I lightly grazed the test tubes and tools with my fingers as I passed through each aisle. "What is this place?" I asked anyone who was listening.

"It's a laboratory." Alex said, stepping right next to me.

"In the middle of the forest?" I raised an eyebrow.

He shrugged, "That's the only thing I can really think of. I have no idea why it would be out here..."

"That would be nice to know, though..." I sang sarcastically.

"Jeez, I hope Ron and the others are alright." Chace sighed.

"Hey guys! I think I found something!" Angela yelled over to us.

I ran over to her. She seemed to have found a ladder leading downwards.

"Should we go for it?" I asked.

"Yes. I'll go first." Chace said.

"No. You could have a concussion from that car accident. I'll go." I said and stepped up onto the ladder with my gun slung over my shoulder.

"Be careful." Alex told me.

I nodded and continued to climb up the ladder. I was about 15 down up when I came to an opening. I gagged at the horrid smell and covered my mouth and nose.

The rest of my friends descended and had the same reaction. "Where are we?" Angela asked.

"The sewers by the look of it." Chace said in disgust.

"Come on. Let's try to find a way out of here." Alex said.

"Be careful, guys. We don't know what's down here." I spoke cautiously.

Everyone nodded in understanding. Chace went in the front of the group and led us down the tunnel. We went right, then left, then right, then straight, then right and then we were lost.

"Shit guys. Where are we now?" Alex said worriedly.

"Crap. I have you idea." Chace sighed.

"Wait! What's that?" I yelled and pointed over to a red ladder in the distance.

We calmly walked over and realized it led to the surface. Chace climbed up the ladder first and lifted the manhole lid or whatever it's called. Hey! I don't spend that much times in sewers!

I followed him up, then Angela and Alex. "This is the rendezvous point. Where is everyone?" Chace asked frantically. He ran over to a car and picked up a piece of paper. He skimmed through it, sighed and handed the paper to me.

"Chace, if you're reading this, then we're probably not here. We went out to look for you. Try to contact us and just stay there. We left some survival supplies on the car. We should be back soon.

Ron-" the note read.

"Try to radio them. If not they said they'd be back soon, anyways." I said.

Chace nodded and tried his radio several times, but none of the channels worked.

~Trystan's POV~

"I don't see them anywhere." Chris whispered.

I peered out the window. "He's probably back at the waiting point. We should head back." I suggested.

Rona and Chris exchanged looks before Ron turned the car around.

We drove back to the highway and got out of the car. Ron sighed, "They're not here..."

In the distance I could see several geeks stalking around. Ron an over to where he left supplies for Chace. "All the supplies are gone. Someone was definitely here."

"Looters maybe. Or Chace. But why isn't he here now?"

"I think that's why." I said and pointed behind them. They both turned around and it charged for us.

~Skylar's POV~

We've been wandering for what feels like hours. Amy finally led us to the highway. Four figures were standing near a car.

Amy had her weapons raised as she approached them, with the three of us following her. "Chace?" she said breathlessly.

"Amy!" he said and rushed towards her. They hugged tightly. "What happened? Is there anyone else alive?"

"As far as I know, everyone is dead. Except for Ron, Chris and that one boy that with them." she pointed back at us. "Maybe some people made it out alive and just made a run for it."she shrugged.

"Ron left a note and supplies. He's looking for us but said he'd be back soon." Chace told her.

Bristol and I walked over to Elliot and Alex. Angela ran up to Jason and hugged him tightly.

"Elliot. I thought you might want this." Bristol said and handed Elliot her crossbow.

Elliot smiled thankfully at her.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Angela said.

Jason was hunched over, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.

"I'm so sorry, baby." he said.

"What do you mean?" she asked and stroked his cheek.

He held his arm out. She gasped and jumped back. "Oh god, Jason!" she cried.

"What's going on?" Chace butted in.

"Jason's been bitten." Bristol said.

Without warning Chace raised his gun to shoot him. "Wait! No!" Angela yelled and smacked his gun away. "You can't kill him! We don't even know if there is no cure!" she cried.

"Yes. And he'd have killed us by the time we find out." Chace yelled at her.

She started crying hysterically. Bristol tried to comfort her as I confronted Jason. "There's gotta be a more sensible way to do this. We can't just kill him in front of everyone."

"I'm standing right here you know!" Jason said.

"Hush!" Amy hissed. Everyone looked at her. "What the hell is that?"

~Elliot's POV~

"Oh shit!" I yelled and shot an arrow at its head.

It was about 7 feet tall. It looked like someone who sent a lot of time at the gym. He was huge! The arrow I shot at him barely did anything. It let out a loud roar and charged at us.

I managed to get out of the way with Bristol, the rest were knocked down. "Run!" Amy yelled and dashed into the forest followed by Skylar and Bristol.

"Come on, Jason!" Angela yelled and tugged on his arm.

"No. I'll stay and try to buy you guys time to get away." the beast was preparing to charge at us again.

"No! I won't leave you!" Angela yelled.

"Come on! We haven't got the time for this!" I said to Chace.

Alex handed Jason his gun and grabbed my hand and led me into the forest, following the others. Chace forcefully grabbed Angela and pulled her with him.

I ran with Alex until we met up the the others. I hunched over and breathed deeply.

"What the hell was that thing?" Skylar yelled.

I shook my head. Angela started crying hysterically. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder to try and comfort her.
