Left 4 Dead 2- Rochelle x Nick

Chapter Two: Escaping

The kid told me to grab a gun.

"I don't need a gun, we're only going back down stairs sweetie" I said walking to the door.

He stopped me "Are you sure? There are zombies out there and I ain't to positive that you are gonna be okay" The kid literally sounded serious about this.

Suit grabbed a gun and so did the big man "He's not kidding" suit said simply, also convince about these so called zombies.

"Well fine" I grabbed the pistol and walked right down stairs. The boys followed me , the kid ran up ahead and stopped. It got awfully hot and as I turned to head down the next flight of stairs I saw flames.

The kid turned to the door that lead to the rest of the building "I think if we find the other set of stairs we'll be okay! It shouldn't be that bad, come on let's go!" He opened the door and ran down the hall way, firing shots from his weapon.

Why would this boy be shooting? I asked myself as I followed the men. I saw the bodies of sick people of the floor, lifeless and for a second I almost screamed. I stopped and got down, there skin was grey and this gross blood oozed out of there mouths but that's not what got me. I saw there eyes, there were almost black and their pupils were white. Maybe this zombie thing the kid was suggesting was real.

Then something hit me, from the back and it kicked me. I fell forward and turned around looking at it. It was the infected, they were all coming at me and just attacking me. I screamed and covered my face until it stopped. Their lifeless bodies dropped to the floor and I saw Suit. He was holding an axe, I'm thinking the same one the kid had gave him and he grabbed me, pulling me up onto my feet.

"God that was scary, Thank you so much" I said as I put a hand on my cheek.

"Look just stay with us next time, learn to use your gun sweetheart" he said in some sort of a mocking tone.

"Don't call me that" replied. Man this guy, something about him was really fucking annoying but at the same time this guy was hot.

I kinda just did what he said and stayed by him. I watched him fight off the infected and watching him kill the things, it brought this some sort of comfort to me, yeah, it's weird. He seemed to be really experience with a gun and it made me wonder why.

As a few minutes past by there was nothing coming after us to kill us, most of the time we just were all following the kid around. He found us an elevator! I ran in and I sighed with relief, I can't wait to get the hell out of here. As everyone got in the doors closed shut, it got quiet. The kid breaking the silence by introducing himself.

"The names Ellis, my buddies call me El but it sounds like a girl's name so just call me Ellis" he smiled and got all excited. The big man walked up "Everyone usually just calls me Coach, so call me that", Ellis shook Coach's hand.

I stepped up and introduced myself "I'm Rochelle, I work in hard news" I gave everyone a friendly smile. Suit crossed his arms, he was leaning against the elevator's wall. We all looked at him waiting for him to give a name.

He groaned "It's Nick, that's all you need to know" he said seeming to be very moody. "Lighten up Nick" Ellis commented.

"How am I supposed to 'lighten up' when the world is basically ending" Nick had attitude, damn. Me and Coach just listened, we really didn't want to say anything.

Once the elevator came to the stop the lights went out. "I think we made it" Ellis opened the door and ran out but came to a sudden stop when he saw all of the flames out there. Man was it hot!

I ran out "We better hurry boys, come on!" I lead the way, going through and avoiding the flames, I ran into the kitchen and I jumped over the tables.

The crazy thing was all of those gosh damn zombies coming at me and just attacking, it wasn't hard killing them but it was hard trying to fight them off while escaping a blaze.

Nick was able to run ahead of me, I wasn't surprised. "God damn, I just got this suit and now it's going to get ruined. It's really flammable, make way!" What a drama queen and to think I was bad, ha.

Nick was finally outside and he took a gasp of fresh air. When I got out there, I was glad I could stop coughing now.

"Man It was gettin' hard to breath in there, I'm glad we all made it through" Ellis said coughing.

I looked around "Okay, what now? If we could, maybe we can go to the other side of the hotel and grab my van, I still have the ke-" I cut myself off as I felt around in my pockets, shit they weren't there.

"That helicopter that we missed, it seems to be headin' to the mall. Let's head there, maybe we can still hitch a ride" Coach insisted. Yeah, that's a good idea.
