Hope is Dead

Chapter sixty four

Marcel helped Luke get to the bottom of the escalators and turned around hearing an alarm go off ''You hear that?'' he asked and Luke nodded but Marcel felt he wasn't giving much awareness. He turned and grabbed him as he fell to the ground ''No, Luke, get up.'' he begged grabbing the collar of his shirt shaking him, he pulled on him but Luke was to heavy, Marcel felt himself about to cry ''Please don't do this.'' he begged pulling on Luke's arms trying to get him up at least. Marcel then herd a click behind him and froze ''That's sad.'' Marcel shut his eye's hearing this guy's voice, he felt the barrel on his neck ''Up.'' the guy ordered, Marcel stood up and slowly turned around facing him.

Marcel saw he was bleeding still from his leg ''You're hurt.'' the guy chuckled at him ''Don't try being friendly with me now, it's to late.'' Marcel stared at him ''I see that you're boyfriend there is out cold now?'' Marcel didn't comment on it ''Wanna join him?'' Marcel rolled his eye's ''You talk to much.'' the guy narrowed his eyes at Marcel then aimed at his leg pulling the trigger. Marcel fell as the bullet went threw his leg and hit the ground with a thud, the guy sighed then crouched down to be at Marcel's face ''What's your name?'' he asked and Marcel held his leg trying to push away from him but wanted to stay with Luke.

''Name.'' he demanded pressing his thumb into the wound ''Marcel.'' he said bitting his lip, the guy nodded ''See you around Marcel.'' he said getting up and stepped over him, Marcel reached back grabbing his leg, the guy turned and kicked him in the head causing Marcel to turn over onto his stomach, the guy looked up seeing something and ran away, Marcel's vision was blurry as he tried staying awake hearing footsteps coming towards them, he tried pushing off the ground but pain came rushing to his leg causing him to collapse.

He looked to the escalator seeing thing's coming towards them before he blacked out he herd his name with a familiar voice. Lui got to the bottom running over to Marcel falling to his knee's turning him over ''Wake up.'' he watched Marcel's eye's flicker then close, he looked over seeing Jon went to Luke ''Shit.'' Tyler ran past them grabbing a gun from Luke's hand and ran after the dark figure leaving ''Tyler wait!'' Evan yelled running after him, Craig and Jon watched them run after someone they didn't know, Lui looked Marcel up and down seeing he was bleeding, Brian stepped back ''We need to go.'' Jon put Luke's arm around his neck and pulled up getting him off the ground but it wasn't working.

Brian ran to him and put Luke's other arm around his neck and helped Jon get Luke up, Brock looked to Craig ''I can get out.'' Brock went to Marcel getting him up with Lui and they all started walking, Craig limped behind them. Tyler took a sharp right turn and sped up seeing him, he stopped aiming his gun at him but didn't shoot because he went around a corner. Tyler kept running after him, as he turned the same corner he saw he was gone and became cautious, Evan turned the same corner Tyler did being a couple feet behind him and saw he was gone. Evan didn't want to yell Tyler's name because it could give away his position.

Tyler moved forward more seeing military soldiers, he walked over over seeing he had a grande on him along with a bigger gun, he took the gun and the grande and looked around confused of where this guy went then saw him standing back at the entry way to where he entered this hallway ''Sorry.'' he said raising his gun, Tyler looked around listening and herd groaning from down the hall behind him, he then herd the fire from the guy's gun. Tyler spun around seeing he was now running and herd the step's of zombie's running at him, he ran over sliding under a roll shutting door just as the zombie's got to him he shut the door and pushed away from it seeing he had dropped the bigger gun.

He got up and looked around seeing there was no other way out and herd the angry horde on the other side of the roll shutting doors banging loudly. The guy had bumped right into Evan dropping his gun, they looked at each other and Evan remembered him from the road and saw he still wore his bag, the guy looked at his gun but Evan was faster at picking it up and aimed it at him ''Bag.'' Evan ordered and the guy shook his head ''There's a horde down this hallway you don't wanna be here right?'' he asked, Evan glanced down seeing this guy was wounded in his left leg so Evan shot his right leg causing the guy to fall, he put the gun behind him and ripped the bag off his bag running away ''Don't leave, your friend is still here.'' Evan stopped thinking about Tyler then looked back at him.

''He is your friend no?'' Evan's hand shook holding the gun thinking about what he should do, he herd the zombie's, hearing over a hundred of them, he looked down before shutting his eye's and walking away as the slower zombie's turned the corner, Evan listened to the guy's screams as he approached the door leading out of the mall.
