AWOKEN MONSTERs

Chapter 4

Matt sobbed. More corpses. More blood. More tears. Bothe Matt and Danny had survived the firing squad…. Barely….. Matt was shot in the stomach…. Not even really in his stomach…. It was his side and it wasn’t even serious it just hit his skin and no organs. The way out of the vault was actually terrifying. No weapons just a back pack with food and blankets in it. Flashlights….. and batteries.

They’ve always heard stories about the sun, but had never seen it since they lived underground. But it was the night. The air was humid. They were in the subways.

“never thought we get this far…..” Danny mumbled as he helped Matt up off the ladder.

“Where are we?” matt bit his bottom lip and pulled his bag back onto his shoulder.

“Sub-“ Danny cut himself off and grabbed Matt’s hand, taking off running.

There was a clicking. And a shadow of what appeared to be a man with a very large mutation on his face. Walking around aimlessly.

Danny somehow manage to keep Matt quiet as the hid in and abandon train cart, of course neither of them knew what the fuck it was.

The morning came…… of course neither one of them knew. They found the stairs, avoiding the monsters in the dark. The sun was blinding. It made both men want to run back into the darkness of the subway. Once there eyes adjusted they were both silent. When the looked up…. There was a nice blue sky. The air was crips and warm, there were buildings……. Really large buildings…… some toppled over and collapsed but most were still high in the sky touching the clouds. There were things on….. wheels?

Maybe….

It was a dark black…. That thing had burned. Matt was staring at the sun. Danny rolled his eyes and smacked the back of the 16 year old’s head. “Don’t stare at it dumbass, your going to hurt your eyes.”

“Oh…. Sorry…..” Matt mumbled and looked around.

Everything was so different. So bright…. Green stuff…. Grass?

Maybe.

Yes.

Holy shit real fucking grass.

Matt looked at the flowers, they were such bright pretty colors….. they were mutations too. This place was beautiful…..

“Matt look.” Danny pointed to the beach, not like right on the shore, but far enough away to see the water in-between the buildings. They began walking, about half an hour of walking they get to the beach. The beach was nice…. Danny smiled and sat in the sand. The air smelled like salt…..almost indescribable feeling’s right now. This was all so new.  And there were these things…. These monsters who’s only goal is to rip your neck out from the gathered information.

Matt rolled up his pant legs and stepped into the cold water. With his bright orange jumpsuit, and Danny’s dark black one, they probably shouldn’t be out in the open like this. But hey first 18 hours out of the vault.

They had spent all day at the beach, and Danny had found a pocket knife in the sand. How lucky. The sunset was pretty and pink. They needed to leave. Danny heard the clicking again. Matt and Danny packed up there things and began walking. The thought of Aron being alright played in the back of Danny’s mind. He already had a pretty good idea of what Shady was making him do.

They came to a set of abandon looking buildings. Slowly they entered finding the first room and twisting the doorknob. Praise the lord because it was unlocked. Danny entered first, pocket knife in hand. Matt followed closing the door behind them.

It was like the apartment in the vault, all except the power didn’t work. No monsters at all.

Matt laid on the small bed while Danny scrounged the kitchen for food. He found a little bag of m&m’s. The fuck?

Danny popped one of the small rounded candies into his mouth and sucked on it.

HOLY SWEET MOTHER THARESU ON THE HOOD OF A MERCEDES BENS THIS IS LIKE A MAJESTIC FLYING FUCKING EAGLE……

Danny ran into the bed room just to wake Matt up.

“FUCKING TRY THESE” He pushed the bag into Matt’s face.

“Danny? What the heck?” Matt mumbled and rubbed his eyes.

“Try. These. Little. orgasm’s .in. your. Mouth.” Danny spoke with the most serious face he could muster.

“Like you would fucking know what that’s like.” Matt mumbled and laid back down. The boy had no energy left from seeing people die, being shot at, and playing at the beach.

Danny sighed and let the boy sleep as he put the bag into his backpack and explored the rest of the apartment. First floor, so he stayed away from the windows just in case there was something, or someone wondering around the building. The living room was small and there was another bedroom. A children’s room with one side being blue and the other being pink…….

Oh dear lord……

The pink side had a baby crib……

Danny bit his bottom lip.  He left the room and shut the door, looking in the kitchen again finding a note he had missed over the first time he went through taped through the fridge.

The note read as;

Dear Mikey,

                Packed the kids up and went to your mothers, well be safe from the pruge there, please find shelter before 6 so youll be safe and be able to return to me and your children.        

    ~Love you as Always, Carol

Oh fuck. Danny folded the note back up and put it back. That note was 30+ years old…..

Danny hoped the male found his family again…. Shit he hoped they were all still alive….
