The Dead Studios: Season 11

Chapter 2: The Unspoken

     Colton stumbled through the forest, as he chuckled, beginning to speak to someone when no one was there. It felt as if the world had started to spin a million times faster than how it usually rotates. He stumbled into a clearing in the forest, as a group of walkers began to walk towards him. Colton chuckled and started to walk towards them, pulling up the hood on the blood suit. He began to walk right through the group, as the walkers didn't recognize him. Colton suddenly tripped and fell over onto his back, looking up at the night sky, which was shining from the full moon. He continued to glare up at it and chuckle, as some of the walkers began to look down at him, until his vision finally turned black.

It was early in the morning and Olivia walked around the bunker, looking for Colton, as she finally knocked on Jax's bedroom door. Jax opened it, rubbing his eyes. "Olivia? It's really early, everything okay?" He asked.

"Colton is missing. I checked the whole bunker, he's just not here. His shoes are gone and one of the blood-suits are missing. I haven't seen him since dinner last night. Did he say anything to you?"

Jax rubbed his eyes more and stretched. "No...I don't recall." He said. "Let's go take a look, okay?" He said as he closed the door behind him, letting Caroline sleep. 

Olivia and Jax walked through the still and silent bunker, over to the main entrance.  Jax saw that Colton's shoes and one of the blood-suits were missing, as he looked up at the door of the bunker. He walked up the stairs, easily pushing the bunker door open, noticing someone didn't lock it. He turned his head back down to Olivia who was behind him, as he pushed the bunker door open. He stepped out into the grass, as the sun began to rise. He looked around at his surroundings, seeing no sign of him.

"Are you sure he isn't in the bunker?" Jax turned and asked Olivia.

"I'm positive, I double checked. He's not here." Olivia said, worried.

"Well he took one of the blood suits, so wherever he is, he should be okay, and hopefully back soon." Jax said.

"Wait--  we're not going to go look for him?!" Olivia said confused.

"Olivia, he could be anywhere, there's no telling how far he went or where he could be. The best thing to do is wait for him to come back." Jax said, when he saw David walking up the stairs from the bunker.

"What's going on?" David asked, as he saw Olivia and Jax standing outside.

Jax sighed, as the sun continued to rise above them. "Colton is missing, did he say anything to you?" He asked.

David shook his head, confused at the statement. "I saw him during dinner last night? Where could he have gone?" He asked.

"I'm not sure. But like I said, we need to stay here and wait for him to come back." Jax said, as he walked back into the bunker, Olivia sighing and following behind him. 

They walked back down into the bunker, as Jax closed the large door behind them, securing it and locking it. He stood there for a moment, admiring the door, as he turned and walked back down the stairs. As he exited the main room, a large bang was suddenly heard behind him, coming from the bunker door. Jax jumped in his skin, as he turned his head behind him suddenly, looking back up at the door as his eyes widened. The banging stopped for a moment, as David and Olivia turned and looked at Jax, as the room became very still and eerie. 

Olivia took a few steps forward towards Jax. "That's not the knock-- it's not Colton." She said quietly, as Jax suddenly put his hand out, motioning her to stop.
