\\ CHPTR 9 || THERE’S MONSTERS KNOCKING OUTSIDE MY DOOR, I AIN’T OPENING THE BARRICADE //
barricade
noun
an improvised barrier erected across a street or other thoroughfare to prevent or delay the movement of opposing forces.
Celia whimpered out as she ran. Her light coffee eyes watching the world in fear, she darted through the trees, soft layers of snow and leaves breaking her momentum every time she started to gather any. She wanted to get away so bad.
The small group of five had been running mercilessly for the past half hour. Or longer, they couldn't tell. Celia had found her legs growing weaker with each stride she took. Though Bella's tight grip didn't let her lose her footing.
The slowed their pace under a large tree. Heavy panting and breathing filling the air. Celia crouched, barely getting the air she wanted. Footsteps sounded out and Celia shot her head up. She watched as familiar people ran into her sight.
Alice's face was drenched in sweat and fear. Sam, Lauren, Arthur and Sophia also with her. They all seemed relieve to see each other��s faces.
"Where's (Your name)?" Samantha asked, looking back out to the world.
"She, she sacrificed herself" Celia breathed out shakily, slamming a hand on her mouth. Tears brimming in her eyes. She looked at Bella who held a stern look.
"Lucky's smart, she'll be fine. She knew what she was doing," no one could hear the anxiety in Bella's voice. The alarm bells ringing in her head. Everyone remained silent, then a large gurgle surfaced through the air.
A large elk crashed through the trees. Growling out. It's eyes blank and its jaw unhinged. Its skin was sunken in, ribs sticking out. It growled and Alice let out a soft scream.
"RUN!" the elk dove into the middle of the group. Bella leapt to the left, with Arthur, Samantha, Alice, Lauren and Sophia. Raven and the rest of the right. The two groups began bolting in their designated directions.
The elk booking after Bella's group. The chestnut-haired female took the lead, she turned her head and stared directly at the monster. She pursed her lips as she bolted, Alice losing ground. Lauren gripped her wrist and started dragging her forward.
Bella turned her head and saw a city, littered in barbed wire.
"This way!" Bella screamed, sharply turning and sliding down the steep slope. Arthur and Samantha following. Lauren and Alice went next. The Horder behind them not stopping and falling down the hill. It wasn't as graceful as the five teens and landed in an awkward position. Bone's cracking. Alice screamed at the sight before being harshly tugged to be quiet. Bella slid under the fence. Arthur following swiftly. Alice was practically thrown over; Laruen being given a boost by Samantha, and Sophia swiftly followed. Sam turned back to the creature picking itself up and bolting for them. Samantha got onto her feet and began pulling herself threw.
"Suck it in!" Bella's words were icy, and Sam did as told. Sucking in her body as Bella grabbed her arms and pulled her through quickly. Sam's shirt slid up and she could feel the grass rubbing harshly against her skin.
As she got to the other side she leapt to her feet and the group wasted no time in bolting into the town. The Horder not backing down and continuing to run through. Barbed wire catching it and pulling it to the ground. The fence was stronger than it looked and the Horder was stuck in its place.
Bella breathed out in relief as they bolted forward.

Lucky remained silent. It was her best option right now. Lucky watched the creature, what once used to be a boy- now a hollowed-out beast. Lucky turned her head around the corner and watched it slowly slither in the bathroom, it was searching for her.
Lucky gripped the hockey stick in her hands, she found it- before she found that. Now she was outside the small hallway that led to a bedroom and the bathroom, and the thing. Or a Horder as they had nicknamed them.
The name spoke for itself really, the things tried to live in hordes and the name was gut wrenching. Just like the stupid thing in front of her now. Lucky bit her tongue as it left the bathroom and began down the hall.
Was she really going to kill it? Maybe there was a better way at doing this? No, no… she had to go through with this. Lucky closed her eyes and sucked in a silent, sharp breath. Pulling her arms back. Okay, Rabbit's Foot, do what you got to.
As the creature's head turned the corner it saw her, but it was to late. Lucky's weapon had already collided with its head. A hollowed pained cry erupted from the creature before Lucky sent down another blow and another.
Blood decorated the floor, her hands and her body. She stopped, freezing. Panting heavily. The creature laid unconscious on the floor. Lucky's brows furrowing. Was it dead? Or deader than dead…
She stabbed it with her hockey stick, leaping back its head snapped back up. Gurgling and trying to claw for her. Lucky swung down again. She didn't know she could cause so much damage with something as basic as a hockey stick of all things.
She was more surprised that it didn't break with the force of her swinging. Lucky froze, the monster laying in the hallway. Supposedly dead this time. It had backed away from her, but she kept swinging… god she kept swinging.
She kept attacking something that had surrendered itself. Jesus almighty, she placed a hand to her lips. Quivering at the sight. But then something came over her, a washed feeling of warm confidence and reassurance. If she hadn't killed it, it would've killed her as soon as there was an opening for an attack.
Lucky mumbled under her breath and skulked away. Throwing her hockey stick onto the kitchen counter. She didn't care at this point anymore. She could care. She opened her bag and pulled out a water bottle, sipping through its contents. The house was pretty empty, though there were still bits and pieces left behind. Whoever left here, left in a rush and didn't bother about checking everything.
Lucky looked down at her ankle, now flared up from her small battle with the Horder. She bit her lower lip. That didn't look good. She huffed. Stamping her foot, hissing as pain seared through. God frickin damnit!
She looked up; she swore she saw something. Lucky fell beneath the counters, grabbing her hockey stick with her. She sat on the kitchen floor breathing lowly, she needed to leave her little base and go find more supplies.
She had enough to get her by for a few days, but it could help to just have a little extra. She'll be reuniting with her friends shortly anyway, she hoped, she sighed stiffly. She didn't know how long it was going to be before she could leave the house.

The woman sat in the dark. Her coal brown hair braided back messily, grey fading throughout- if she didn't look young, then she could easily be mistaken for an older woman. Her lanky arms scarred and pale, her cheek bones shining through. Round snowflake grey eyes watching the fireplace, it had been a long time since she saw the fire glow.
Amalia Lunar Fragmen. A woman of high status in a cult like society, born into a role she dared not want to play and now paying for the mistakes of her family. A fire poker sat at her side; a leg propped on her other.
A long dark green pencil skirt followed by a white stained button blouse. Her eyes never once left the charred charcoal of the fireplace. Amalia's atmosphere was silent. It always had been. Even when she saw the demise of her family. Her, now dead; husband, mother, and father.
Amalia found herself still living though. This was her punishment. To watch her torturers, die and be set free and herself be forced to live through the world. She looked up as a door opened, Avaron walking through. Amalia held his gaze before turning away, looking back at the fireplace. The older man stared at her and sighed.
"You can't stay mad at me for forever"
"That's what you think" she mumbled a response. The man before her was not normal, not human. A mythical and once a friend. Now he was her captor. Amalia furrowed her brows, crossing her arms.
"You're being dramatic"
"Then find some popcorn"
Avaron sighed heavily, his ears perked at the sound of footsteps. The iron fence surrounding the large estate was standing strong and tall. He marched further into the room and stared out of the large window; the second floor was a grand masterpiece of a room.
The entire house was fully secured, and library had golden accents throughout the dark wood. A courtyard in the middle of the mansion and the estate spread out into a large hedged garden and its many flowers and a fountain. The house was designed to keep things in and out. A perfect place to keep somebody captive or secured.
His eyes stared down, seeing multiple people jump the fence. Landing on the other side. They had scrambled up a tree, one he had specifically cut the branches of to disallow any of the monsters from getting inside.
And they managed to leap over. Avarons brows furrowed. He grumbled something under his breath, Amalia straightening her posture.
"What is it?"
"Visitors"
"Really?" she asked, leaping from the chair, and wandering to window. Her snowflake eyes leaned through and stared down at them. People, alive? Here? "They're not infected?"
"We don't know that," Avaron grumbled.
"What're you going to do" Lady's voice was harsh, cold.
"Keep them in a room until I know for certain that they're not infected" Avaron answered back curtly.
Lady watched him exit the room. Her eyes sinking as his form retreated away from her. She bit her lower lip and returned to her chair. Her head turned back to the fireplace and she remained there.
Not wanting to see or hear Avaron's actions.

Lucky breathed out through her closed lips, letting out a tired sigh. Limping on her sore ankle. She had to just about bolt for her life from a stupid Horder, it was a dog kind. She mumbled under her breath.
Growling out, she was so sore. Lucky walked past a pile of rubble, stopping when she heard scratching. She looked up and heard whimpering. Looking down she saw big brown eyes, a German shepherd dog looking up.
Big sad eyes stared directly at Lucky, she lost her tense feeling and melted.
"Awwww, baby!" she cooed.
Dropping to the ground as the dog ran forward. Lucky' s hands glided over their fur, scratching behind their ears. She cooed and played with the animal happily. The dog barking and whimpering at the pets. Licking Lucky's hands. Lucky looked down at the dog's neck. A red collar slowly ripping, shedding away. It looked like one you'd see in those cliché Netflix movies. Lucky grabbed the collar, there was a registration tag. But nothing concerning the dog's name. Lucky pursed her lips.
"No name, huh?" The dog barked. Lucky looking up. She smiled softly. The dog was female, and Lucky found herself smiling at the animal's nature. Lucky mumbled. "It seems we got pretty lucky to find each other…" Lucky mumbled off. "Where's your owner" Lucky stood up and looked about. There seemed to be nothing. She looked down to the German shepherd she looked thinner than a normal dog should. Something told her that it was pure luck they met, or maybe it was fate. She looked up. "How about Adonna?" The dog looked at her. Blinking her eyes. Lucky breathed out. "Right, this isn't a Disney movie,"
Lucky stood up, looking around. There really seemed to be no one. Lucky looked down, Adonna���s tail wagged happily. The dog whining softly, Lucky patted her head once more before blowing out.
"I guess it's just you and me, hey pupper?"
Adonna sat down, her tail never ceased wagging. As if she could actually understand Lucky's words. Lucky rolled her eyes subconsciously, yeah right. Like she said, this isn't a Disney film. It's not like the Horders and the humans will come together and start singing and dancing.
Lucky shook her head, that was a stupid idea. Lucky turned to the road and began limping, Adonna following not far behind. Trotting happily next to her new friend. Adonna panted lightly as she ran ahead, never going far from Lucky.
Like if Lucky suddenly left her sight, she'd be gone for good. It made Lucky feel sympathy for the dog, she was probably a loyal family pet before she got left behind. Lucky made a promise to herself.
She wouldn't leave Adonna behind.

Ella hissed at Abigail. The two were at each other's throats. The small group of Sins were getting smaller by the minute. Ella scoffed. They had managed to find a large tree with hollowed out insides. Barely enough room for them all. But good enough.
"I'm telling you; we go up onto the escarpment. We can look down from there then"
"Yeah, but there's no way down then" Ella snapped back.
"We'll see the danger coming from a mile away before we even get trapped there in the first place!"
"It's still a terrible idea"
"Oh, then what's your suggestion?"
"Find the others, we're safer in a bigger group"
"No, you just wanna see your boyfriend"
"Yeah, cause he's got the rest of the boys with him and they're stronger than all of us"
"That's some sexist bullshit right there" Mina crossed her arms.
"How's it sexist if it's true? Arthur's a wimp sure, but Raven, Harry and Spartan all do sports. They've got built up physique whilst we don't. Last I checked, nail painting ain't a sport" Ella snapped back.
Ivy sniffed, holding her arms. She lowered her heads, trying to drown out her sobs with her tears. Everyone turned their heads.
"Shut the hell up!" they all snapped, and Ivy leapt out of her skin. Nodding her head.
"S-Sorry…" she mumbled.
