In the End- Eddsworld Apocalypse AU [EddxMatt, TomxTord & PaulxPatryck]

Chapter 5- Welcome to Receinte, Population Six

When I was seven....
"Tommy, I made something for you" I held out a blue piece of paper cut out in the shape of a heart with 'To Tom, From Tord' written in black pencil "Mum says it's a valentines day card" I beamed as I gave it to Tom "Wow! It's so cool! Thanks Tord....but I didn't make you one" "Its okay, I can show you how to make one if you want?" "Thank you Tord, I'm gonna make you a red one"....

(Tord's POV)
I opened my eyes as the rest of the memory played through my head, Tom made the heart and gave it to me, I only had it for a minute until a bully grabbed it out of my hands and ripped it into pieces in front of me, Tom promised to make me a new one and he never did... I looked out the window. We're at least two towns away now from Ashmaine, but... the storm caught up to us meaning that we have to take shelter. Patryck stopped in front of a office building, we grabbed the bags, guns and car keys, heading inside. We went to the top floor, level nine and set up some make-shift beds "It's about a two day storm, we'll try to travel again tomorrow morning" Patryck said, positioning his rifle at the window "Is it another radioactive storm?" I asked "No, normal storm, but its a rough one" "Okay, first light tomorrow, we leave for Ashmaine"...

(Tom's POV)
"Welcome to Cerine, population dead" Emerald said sleepily as we drove through the town on the main road "You sure the buses would've taken this road?" Matt asked "Yeah, only straight road heading to Receinte" I answered, looking in the back seat where Emerald was, about to pass out "Emerald, try and get some sleep, I'll wake you up when we get to the next town" Emerald nodded her head and laid down on the back seat. "What are we looking for exactly?" Matt asked "Anything that belongs to a bus-" "Like that one?" Matt slowed down, a crashed school bus in a house "Is that a evacuation bus?" Matt asked, I rolled down my window, a few seconds went by, dead started to pour out of the bus "No! Go! Go! Go!!!" I yelled, Matt stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the bus. A minute away from the bus, he slowed down a bit "Thank god we're in a car-" a zombie ran straight into the car, now hanging out my window trying to grab me. We started freaking out until I finally shot it in the head and it flung back onto the road "How the fucking hell is Emerald still asleep?!" Matt yelled, still freaking out, Emerald sound asleep, smiling, like she couldn't hear anything horrible happening. It was dark when we made it to the edge of Receinte, and the car ran out of fuel, we were also inside a horrible and rough storm "We're gonna have to walk from here and find shelter" "Tom, its raining, what if its another radioactive storm?" Matt asked as Emerald woke up "Only one way to find out" I grabbed my bag and jumped out of the car as Matt freaked out a bit. I stood in the rain... nothing "Its normal rain, come on" Matt and Emerald grabbed their bags and followed me in the rain, we walked for about half an hour, I totally forgot how big Receinte can be, its like a town and a city combined. We came across an old office building with nine floors "This is gonna have to do for shelter, come on"....
(Tord's POV)
Its now dark, lucky a few of the street lamps still work "Tord, Patryck, there's people outside the building" Paul said, looking through the scoop on the rifle "You sure its people and not the dead?" Patryck asked "I'm pretty sure the dead don't talk in a group and carry bags" Paul answered "Shit, they're walking into the building!" "Tord, you stay up here, me and Paul will cut them off at the eighth floor" Patryck said, taking a touch and walking down stairs...
(Tom's POV)
We walked up seven levels, now on the eighth floor "What if there's dead people on the ninth floor?" Emerald asked "Then we'll put them down" Matt answered, we turned the corner and froze as two shadows flashed a high beam of light into our faces "On your knees now!" one yelled, we dropped to our knees as the two men pointed guns at our heads....
