Laughter is Born From Madness

Chapter 64

The noises from the coffins grew louder and shook more until the restraints that had been holding them snapped off. Ciel, Elizabeth, Red and Snake watched in horror as the corpses burst out from their holding and faced them with their mouths open wide. They then began to inch forward.

"Run..." Red said as her and her friends began to back away. Turning to them with a panicked look, she started pushing them in the opposite direction of the creatures. "Run, dammit!!!"

They all ran the opposite way as the corpses rushed towards them.

"Run, Lizzie!!" Ciel shouted, taking his fiancée's hand, trying to run faster.

They nearly made it to the stairs that led up, but more corpses blocked the exit and were heading towards them.

"They're at the exit as well..." Elizabeth spoke, terrified.

Suddenly a corpse launched itself at the young blonde, its mouth wide open. Only to be shot in the head by Ciel. More corpses began to inch closer as the young earl looked around for safety then noticed the crates.

"Snake, take Lizzie and Red and get on top of the crates!!" he ordered.

Snake helped Lizzie reach the higher crates and boosted her up, he went to do the same for Red, only to be pushed to move up as well by her.

"Go! I'll be fine!" she shouted.

"Like hell you will! Get up there now!" Ciel shouted at her, firing into another corpse's head.

"But-"

"This is not the time for your stubbornness, dammit! Just do as I say!!" he yelled before looking around at the corpses. "Damn! There are too many of them..."

With his back to the crate, he didn't notice the corpse that was sneaking up behind him.

"Ciel!!" Elizabeth yelled in warning. "Behind you!!"

Ciel jerked back, shielding himself with his arm, his eye shut tight as the creature reached out to him before a pained yell sounded. Opening his eye, he watched as Red had used her upper arm as a defense against the corpse who had just bitten her.

"Go!" she yelled, pushing him away. Suddenly the corpse let go of her arm as it was being wrapped around by snakes. "Those are..."

"Smile! Red!" Snake yelled as he held both his hands out to the two teenagers. "Come quick while we've got them tied up!!...says Oscar."

"Right, thanks!" Ciel nodded as both he and Red took his hands and were lifted up onto the crates.

"It doesn't look like they can climb up here." Ciel stated as he looked at the corpses moaning and moving against the crate.
