zombie apocalypse | the fallen (book One) [REWRITING]

chapter 24

Elaines p.o.v
It was quieter than usual at lunch. Which might make this easier. If i speak loud enough of a "problem" going on in the building a mass panic will start and they'll be distracted. The guards will come down and then zoe and i can kill Garnet.

"Hey erin can i get the keys to the supply room?" "Yeah, catch" erin throws them at me. "thanks" i turn and walked down the dark hallway. We never go down this hall unless it's an emergency. But Erin doesn't follow prodicall and is relaxed on everything. Which is perfect at the moment.

I put the keys in to open the door. "Oh hi Elaine" "Hello sir" "What do you need?" "Just gloves and a screwdriver. A couple residents are complaining about rats in their vents and walls so i wanna get on it." "Isn't that Carmens job though?" "Yeah but He wasn't feeling well today so i thought i would take over" "You always were a good soul" he hands me what i need and i take my leave.

After a little bit Zoe and Preston come down to the cafeteria and get their food. I sit with them. "Hi zoe." "Elaine" "hello Preston. "Hi" "So, zoe. I wanted to meet with you after lunch but since you're here now we can eat and go." "Alright" she says coldly. When preston looks down at his food she winks at me. She's playing mean so Preston doesn't know. Well thought out zoe.

After Elaine and you finish eating, you get up. "What am i supposed to do by myself?!" Preston whines hitting his head on your side. "Just go play games or read a book. You could use the education." you laugh and he slaps your leg. "It won't take long Preston. Don't worry " elaine says from my left.

"I will be back before you can even shed a tear from missing me" you kissed preston and left. It was a quiet walk. Mainly because the guards were still about. "i got the gloves and screw driver." elaine whispers and slides them in your hoodie pocket.

"go to your room. When you hear me yelling and running wait a few seconds then come out. I shut the camera off to this hallway before lunch so you should be okay " she rushes through her sentences and takes off.

I ran back down the stairs and went into the cafeteria. Zoe should be able to hear me since it is a small facility. "Everyone!" i stand on a table as i speak. It falls quiet. "There has been a breach in our east and south walls! I need everyone to go to their rooms and do not come out until told to do so!" the room is full of yelling and angry questions. The guards from Garnets room come flying down the stairs guns in hand. I stepped down from the table and snuck away while everybody got distracted.

You peered out your door. The guards were gone. You walked swiftly down the hall and grabbed a chair. You stood up to the vent, gloves on, and started unscrewing it. It took about 2 minutes and the vent was off. You squeeze into the air vent and pull the cover up, tying a string around it and taping it to the walls to hold in place.

The original plan was to just slit his throat and watch the light leaving his eyes, but you want him to suffer first. A more painful death. Elaine found rat poison in one of the medical rooms, for some unknown reason, and you happen to have deadly chemicals laying around aka some everyday items that you added into it.

You also snuck into the lab the night Isabella died and grabbed flesh eating chemicals. As you made your way through the vent you finally reached his room. You watched him, waiting for him to go to the bathroom or something. He had a glass sitting on his table just under half full. Thats perfect you think to yourself.

After a little more waiting he gets up and walks out of his room. You give it 10 seconds and make a break for it. You jump down quietly landing on a soft couch. You walk quiet but quickly over to his drink. You dump bits of everything in. But not the entire flask of flesh eating chemicals. You need the rest later...

As you climb into the vent his door opens. He definitely seen you before you could turn the corner of the duct. "What are you doing zoe?" he asked too calmly. "Pretending to be a hamster idiot." you respond with a snarly voice.

"Come on down. We can talk." He makes his way over to his table and sits down, drinking his black tea. You crawl out of the vent and go sit. "What are you really doing?" he set his cup down and coughs. It's coming quickly. "Elaine wanted me to help her find rats so they don't end up in more places than just the walls. Spread diseases too." "Ah yes. Carmen is ill so he can't do it. Thanks for helping." He definitely doesn't believe that.

"Need something to do. Plus i guess i owe her for y'know, breaking her wrist and ripping flesh off of her arm when she meant no harm..." "Yeah. But she pushed you. You would be suprised how often things like that-" he starts coughing. A lot.

"A-are you okay? Should i get someo-" "no, no im fine zoera." his eyes widen, realizing his mistake. "im sorry, i didn't mean to call-" "Don't. Just don't worry about it." "Are you-" "yes" you snap. "It was a mistake don't give me such a damn attitude." "So were you." you spit back.

He drank more of his tea and rises. You rise as well. "Zoe, i don't know what you think about me or if you blame me for Isabellas death, but your attitude will not be tolerated when speaking to me" "Yeah because you're soooo important aren't you?" "i run this place!" he yells. Blood pours from his mouth. And nose. And his eyes.

"what- what is happen-" "How's your "tea" garnet?" "What have you done!?" "Just a simple new flavoring i thought of. It's made with many different chemicals like flesh eating ones" you smile. "I'll kill you!" "No garnet, I'll kill you" you step back as he falls on the floor.

He reaches for you, and you pour the remaining flesh eating chemicals onto his face. His screams sound like happiness to your ears. "Good bye garnet. See you in hell." without another word you slit his throat. His body collapses all the way to the floor, the remainder of his skull smacking into his table. "zoe?" you turn around. Shit...
