Chapter Two
Adventurers Triumph
"Woah, woah, woah, just calm down
and drop the bomb" Khalid tried to
calm a really angry Ashley.
"Drop the damn bomb or I'll blow your
fucking brains out" Kevin who had now
picked a gun yelled.
He shot two infecteds that were making
their way towards us.
"Don't come near me!" Ashley yelled as
she pressed a button on the bomb but
nothing happened.
I was relieved but my relief was
short-lived as Ashley spoke.
"If you shoot me and I let this button
go, we all go ka-boom" the psychiatric
patient threatened. "But if you want
me to stop the bomb from exploding,we could all just go to the safe zone
together, trust me I'll be a meaningful
addition to your little group here" she
continued.
How the hell could a crazy girl outsmart
us all, she must be one smart crazy girl
I thought as three infecteds started
approaching us and Kevin gunned them
all down.
"Or we could all walk away from you
and leave you to die alone" Richard
hissed as he also shot one infected
person with a gun he removed from his
back.
"If anyone of you should take a step, I'll
leave this button and we all go ka-boom
and die so the only choice you have
now is to just agree with me and we
shall all go to the safe zone together.
Having one more person in your group
can be a good thing" Ashley tried to
convince us.
"Why the hell would we want a crazy
person in our group" Lisa spoke as she
neared Ashley and Richard gunned
down another infected.
"Nuh, uh uh. Don't even take one
more step if not ...ka-boom" Ashley
threatened."I don't think you would want to kill
yourself like you killed your parent...or
maybe I am wrong, maybe you are a
natural born murderer" I said, pissing
Ashley off.
"Yes I am a natural born killed and I
can kill every single one of you right
here right now so you better watch you
mouth" Ashley hissed and Kevin shot
another infected.
"If we allow you to come with us, you
will stop the bomb from going off and
we will go our separate ways once we
reach the safe zone?" Khalid asked.
"Yes. It's as simple as that" Ashley
giggled weirdly.
"You can come with us but on two
conditions" Khalid spoke and we were
shocked at his offer.
"And what is that" Ashley asked as
Richard shot another infected.
"We won't tell you the specific place but
we will take you there and you won't
have any weapon with you" Khalid
stated his conditions.
"But what if I get attacked by an
infected, I should be allowed to carry at least one weapon" Ashley negotiated.
"We are the ones making the conditions
here" Khalid replied in a strict tone and
Kevin shot two infecteds.
"And I am the one with the bomb"
Ashley stated raising the bomb in her
hand into the air.
"Alright you get to keep a weapon and
just one" Khalid agreed.
"I think Il keep my trusty bomb with
me so that if you change plans or
anything like that we all go ka-boom"
Ashley said as she did some things to
the bomb in her hand. "If we are going
to work together I think we wouldn't
want to be pointing guns at each other"
she added, facing Richard who was
pointing his gun at her.
"Put the bomb away first" Kevin
demanded and with that Ashley put the
bomb in her pocket and Richard started
to lower his gun slowly as Kevin shot
another three infecteds.
Richard was about to put his gun in
the belt that Khalid gave us but stoped
midway as he quickly shot Ashley in the
left knee. She screamed and winced as she got
down on her right knee and blood
started to flow out if the fresh wound.
Khalid immediately walked to Ashley
and took the bomb away from her.
"I can't believe you actually thought
we were going to go to the safe zone
together" Khalid spat as he walked
away from her. It looked like Khalid
and Richard had planned the whole
thing while they were coming or
something.
"What do you expect from a dumb
psychiatric patient" Richard hissed. Lisa
and I were very shocked at what had
just happened and Kevin just looked
normal.
"What should we do with her" Kevin
asked not taking his eyes off Ashley
who was still riding in pain.
"Let's just leave her here, she'll either
bleed out or get eaten" Richard said
with a look of disgust on his face.
"I got the keys to the pickup truck"
Kevin said bringing out the keys from
his pocket.
"And I've got the guns" Khalid grunted as he carried the heavy bag
"Are you guys done with the packing"
Richard asked Lisa and I and we both
nodded yes.
"We'll go get the bags out while you
bring the pickup truck" I stated and
we all started walking away from a
still bleeding Ashley but stoped as she
Spoke.
"Please, please let me follow you guys,
I'm not a bad pers-" she began but was
cut off as Kevin shot her second knee
too.
We all stared at Kevin giving him
an awkward look as Ashley kept
screaming in pain.
"What? I'm wasn't going to listen to
one of those fake boring pleading
speeches and later get betrayed by that
bitch" Kevin muttered as he continued
towards the pickup truck and the rest of
us went to pack the luggage.
It took a few minutes for us to get all the
luggage out but when we did, we put
them all inside the pickup truck and
we were know waiting for Khalid and
Richard who had gone to get gasoline for both vehicles.
We waited for a few minutes before
they arrived with four kegs of gasoline
and we poured two into the Lexus and
the other two into the pickup truck.
Khalid handed us all two glock pistols
each and we all inserted it into our belt
then he gave us one M4A1 each which
we slung around our neck.
The gun was heavy but Khalid insisted
we had it on us at all times for safety
measures. We all looked like soldiers
who were going for war just remaining
the black lines across our faces and the
military uniform and boom, we were
soldiers.
After packing the loads and we all
had our weapons, Khalid and Richard
entered the pickup truck with Khalid in
the driver's seat and I, Lisa and Kevin
entered the Lexus with Kevin in the
driver's seat.
Khalid and Kevin both started the
vehicles and started driving away
slowly. I 1looked back at Ashley who
was now laying on the ground either
unconscious or dead then faced front
back as I swallowed hard. I looked at the small watch I had worn
to keep track of time and it read 8:42
AM.
I slumped in my seat as Kevin drove
up hill and when he was at the top of
the hill, I looked back down on our
beloved city of Entila, it now looked
like a battlefield and it was completely
destroyed.
This was supposed to be a good view
but it wasn't, it wasn't a good one at
all. The city went out of my eyesight
as Kevin descended the hill and our
journey started.
The journey began, the journey to
safety, the journey to peace of mind.
The four days journey that would take
us away from this crazy place and to a
safe zone. I knew it wasn't going to be
an easy journey but I just hoped we all
survived.
We have been driving for just eighteen
minutes but it has felt like eternity. The
whole ride has been silent except for
the music that was playing.
Kevin had found the disc inside the
glove box a few minutes ago and he
inserted it into the player and it turned
out to be a mix of different songs.
I looked at my watch for the thousand
time and it read 9:01 AM. I goaned as
I looked out the window but the view
wasn't pleasant at all.
Part of the reasons I liked traveling
when the world was still normal was
because of the beautiful view that
always stayed behind the window but
now it wasn't there anymore.
That beautiful view had now been replaced by a horrible one. It had been
replaced by burnt cars, overturned
vehicles which littered the road
and caused Kevin to swave the car
unexpectedly very often, destroyed
buildings, blood smears, a horrible
stench, and an infected every now and
then.
If the apocalypse hadn't happened, Ill
have been in a math class by now and
probably muttering curse words at Mr
baldie. Baldie.
He was probably either dead or
infected by now just like almost every
other person I knew.
Donald, Jack, Debby, Mr John, Mark
(Lisa's elder brother), Erica (Lisa's
eldest sister), my parents, Lisa's parents,
Ashley, she deserved it though, that's
if she's dead which she probably is
and.Elizabeth, my sister that I killed.
I blinked a few times to stop tears from
rolling down my cheek as memories I
had with her swam across my mind.
If only I had stopped a second before
I did, Elizabeth would have still been
with us by now.
"So what do you think the safe zone will
be like" Kevin asked trying to start a be like" Kevin asked trying to start a
conversation but I wasn't really in the
mood for that so I allowed Lisa to do the
talking.
"Probably a large compound with a
really big fence" Lisa spoke.
"What about you Ella, what do you
think it will be like" Kevin asked as he
looked at me through the inner mirror
for a second then placed his eyes back
on the road.
"I don't know, probably not like
paradise" I muttered and after that the
car was silent again with only the music
still playing.
I started dozing a few minutes later and
before I knew it, I fell asleep.
o0o
I woke up and realized that the car had
stopped moving. We were now packed
behind the pickup truck and there was
no one inside the truck.
"Oh, you are awake" I jolted at the
unexpected voice of Lisa from the
driver's seat.
"Where's everyone?" I asked wearily rubbing my eyes.
"We all decided to take a break like to
pee, eat and stuffs like that and the guys
are still urinating" she ansvwered as she
munched on two pieces of bread stuck
together.
I looked at my watch and it read 1:34
PM. I was surprised I slept for that long
but I was thankful we were already in
the afternoon and there hasn't been any
problem so far. Just a few more hours
and day one out of four will be over.
"Want some?" Lisa asked handing me a
tray with about five sliced breads and a
small jar of peanut butter.
"Yes!" I answered. My last meal was
yesterday morning and that was just
an energy bar and a juice box. I found
myself wondering how I even survived
without eating anything for so long and
didn't even noticed.
I picked a slice of bread and layered
it with peanut butter then covered it
with another slice and started eating it.
It was as if I was getting hungrier after
every bite I took so I quickly finished
the one in my hand and made another
one. "You do know we have to manage our
food right" Lisa looked at me with her
eyebrows up.
"My last meal was yesterday morning
and it wasn't even an actual meal" I
spoke with a mouthful of bread.
"Okay, but that's the last one" Lisa spoke
in a warning tone.
"Yeah yeah" I replied in a durrh tone
as that was the last slice of bread
remaining.
I took the last bite and the door beside
me suddenly swung open to reveal
Kevin.
"You are awake" he stated the obvious
as he sat beside me and I could see
Richard and Khalid enter the pickup
truck.
I covered the peanut butter jar and
placed it in the cup holder then threw
the bread nylon away.
Richard started the pickup truck and
Lisa did as they did and a few seconds
later they started driving with Lisa in
tow.
After finishing my bread, I was still
hungry but I knew we had to manage
food till we got to the safe zone so I
decided to keep that to myself.
O00
The drive was silent but the music
was still playing. I had not sighted any
infected for a while which was giving
me an eerie feeling and we've driven
for another one hour. It was now 2:42
PM.
"So what did you see when you barged
into my room?" Kevin asked in a low
tone so that Lisa could not hear him. He
had a weird smirk on his face which
made me smile a bit.
"Nothing but a tiny toothpick"
He raised his eyebrows, a bit surprised
at my reply and I just realized I said
that out loud. It was supposed to be said
in my mind.
I looked away feeling a bit shy as I felt
my cheeks heat up but I could still feel
Kevin's eyes on me.
"It's actually pretty big" Kevin said with
his brows still up. "Nah. I know what I saw" I replied,
giggling a bit.
"I am the owner so I should know better
than you who just saw it for the first
time and only for a split second" Kevin
spoke.
"Who told you I haven't seen it before" I
answered.
"T'm really sur--" Kevin was about to
talk but I cut him off.
"Why should we even be having this
conversation" I said, feeling weirdly
uncomfortable with the discussion.
"I'm the one who is supposed to be
asking that" Kevin stated.
"But you are the one who started the
Conversa-" I was about to speak but
was cut off as I involuntarily lunged
forward almost hitting my head on the
head rest in my front but Kevin was
quick enough to stop me by placing his
hand between me and the chair.
He quickly removed his hand and gave
me an awkward smile as he realized
where his hand was. It was on my..I1
just probably skip that. "Sorry" Lisa spoke up, looking at us
through the inner mirror.
"Why did we stop?" Kevin asked while
trying to see what happened but we
couldn't see anything because of the
pickup truck that was obstructing our
view.
Richard and Khalid both got down and
we all did as they did and as I got down
I saw the reason why we stopped and
we had a really big problem on our
hands.
We couldn't go further ...not because
of the infecteds but because of an
everlasting tow of cars. It was as long as
my eyesight could go.
We were on the Entila highway which
is the only way out of this city but the
road was blocked with cars.
It was like everybody in the city was
trying to leave the city when the whole
shit went down but they all ended up
getting stuck here.
There is no way the cars could get
through we were going to have to go on
foot.Richard and Khalid walked to us and
when they were in our front, Khalid
spoke up.
"What do we do?" He asked
"Maybe we find another way" Kevin
suggested
"There is no other way. This is the only
way out of Entila" Richard countered.
"Well we have to think of something
fast because I don't think it's a good idea
standing here like this" Lisa spoke up,
looking around frantically.
"How about we go on foot?" I suggested
"On what!" Lisa yelled but quickly
brought her voice back down. "We
won't survive out there on foot""Ill man the door" Kevin stated.
"Which door?" I asked as I brushed past
him and he just smiled.
Richard kept bringing down bags
and suitcases while Khalid, I and Lisa
removed anything that didn't seem very
useful but there wasn't much to remove
except for some comic books and other
magazine's Lisa had packed.
"Now what will keep me busy" Lisa
groaned as Khalid threw away her last
book.
After re-packing and all we were stil1
left with about three suitcases, one
duffle bag and five backpacks.
"So who's carrying what?" Kevin asked
as he approached us.
"There are still too many bags" Lisa
replied with her hands on her waist as
she stared at the bags on the ground.
These two bags contains foodstuffs
so we must carry them and the duffle
bag contains all the guns, bullets and
magazines so it's also coming." Khalid
stated, not taking his eyes off the bags.
Those two suitcases contains clothes
sponges and toothbrushes so they are also Coming to pick That suitcase that
contains supplies like touch, batteries
and other stuffs so it has to come too"
He addedd
"What about the remaining three
backpacks" Richard asked.
"The black one contains first aid
kits which is also important and the
blue one has the radio in it" Khalid
answered.
"Which radio?" Lisa asked.
"The radio that told us about the safe
zone. I brought it along incase there
was another broadcast of change of
plans or another safe zone that was
closer" Khalid replied.
"And what's in the last bag" Kevin asked
"More ammunition. So which bag do we
leave? Khalid asked.
"I think the radio. It's probably the
heaviest and we might not need it" I
suggested.
"So the radio it is" Khalid muttered as
he pulled the radio away from the other
bags.
He handed Richard the briefcase that bags.
He handed Richard the briefcase that
contained supplies and the bag that
had more ammunition then gave Kevin
one of the briefcases that contained
clothes and a bag that contained
foodstuffs then he himself carried the
last briefcase and the duffle bag and
I and Lisa carried the remaining two
backpacks.
"Alright, so we will just head straigh-"
Kevin was about to talk but was cut
off as an infected just came out from
nowhere and jumped on him knocking
him down and sending his gun flying.
Khalid quickly ran and pulled the
infected off Kevin's before any harm
was made and as soon as he got
the infected off Kevin, he kicked it
backwards and Richard shot it but it
only grazed the ear.
Before we knew what was happening
the infected started running towards us
again but Richard shot again and this
time, the bullet pierced the infected's
forehead and it fell to the ground.
Everyone was silent and startled by
what happened until Lisa finally spoke
up. jumped on him.
Luckily Richard shot it off him right in
time so it wasn't able to bite him.
Kevin stood up and shot another
infected that was in mid-air about to
pounce on him.
Khalid also stopped running then
opened a car door and stayed behind
it then started shooting the infecteds as
if he was in a gunfight with some bad
guys.
This gave us the chance to run and as
we reached where he was, Richard did
the same thing as he was doing and
they did this till the remaining infecteds
were dead.
Khalid heaved a sigh of relief which
called my attention to him and when
I looked at him, I saw an infected just
a few feet away from it and as it was
about to jump on him, I shot it in the
head and my target was accurate.
Khalid was startled by the unexpected
gunfire and thud and heaved anotheer
sigh of relief when he realized what
had happened.
"Is it only me or are this things actually "How long do you think the cars
stretches out" I asked, looking ahead,
but seeing nothing but cars. There still
wasn't any sign of life, both the dead
and the undead.
"I don't know, maybe a hundred feet"
Kevin suggested.
"So we would have to trek a hundred
feet?" Lisa asked, shocked.
"Only if you want to survive" Kevin
replied.
We all sat in silence for a few minutes
with our guards down but got then back
up as we heard footsteps... and it didn't
sound like just one or two, it sounded
like ten.
The sound was coming from the other
side so we all bent down to stay out of
sight of whatever it was that owned the
steps.
As we were trying to get around the car
slowly, I peeked up and saw more than
fifteen infecteds all heading towards
where we were coming from.
We tried as much as possible to stay
out of their eye reach till they went
away and we did so successfully or so I thought.
Lisa was about to say something when
the last infected in their line turned
back and saw her it started running
towards her and this one seemed to be
twice as fast as the one from earlier but
fortunately Khalid was able to shoot it
before it reached us but unfortunately
the sound attracted the remaining
fourteen.
"Shit" I heard Kevin curse. "Run!" He
yelled and we all sprinted toward the
front but we could only run so fast
because of the loads we were carrying.
The infecteds were gaining on us but
we kept running. They were very fast,
even the ones that their legs were bent
at odd angles were still running fast.
I was about to jump over a dead body
when another infected jumped at me
from the middle of two cars. It knocked
me down and was about to bite me but
Kevin was quick enough to shoot it in
the head.
Khalid stayed and shot the two closest
ones then we all continued running
away from the remaining twelve
infecteds. Kevin shot another and it
slumped and fell but one out of them jumped on him.
Luckily Richard shot it off him right in
time so it wasn't able to bite him.
Kevin stood up and shot another
infected that was in mid-air about to
pounce on him.
Khalid also stopped running then
opened a car door and stayed behind
it then started shooting the infecteds as
if he was in a gunfight with some bad
guys.
This gave us the chance to run and as
we reached where he was, Richard did
the same thing as he was doing and
they did this till the remaining infecteds
were dead.
Khalid heaved a sigh of relief which
called my attention to him and when
I looked at him, I saw an infected just
a few feet away from it and as it was
about to jump on him, I shot it in the
head and my target was accurate.
Khalid was startled by the unexpected
gunfire and thud and heaved anotheer
sigh of relief when he realized what
had happened.
"Is it only me or are this things actually getting stronger and faster?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah, I noticed butI thought I was just
being paranoid" Kevin replied.
"Well if they are becoming stronger
and faster then we shouldn't stay out
here for too long" Richard stated as he
continued to walk with all of us hot on
his heels.
ooo
It has been another three hours and
I couldn't believe we were still in the
middle of the jam packed cars.
We had seen only two infecteds and we
were able to kill them without anyone
getting hurt but it was a bit hard.
I look at my watch and the time was
6:58 PM and it was already getting dark.
"Why is it even getting dark this early"
Kevin spoke out as if he was reading my
mind.
"We are in November. It gets dark
early in November. We were supposed
to reset our clock today" Richard
answered starring at the sky.
Tough luck"We have to search for a place to settle
for the night. Sleeping here or staying
out long is not a good idea at all" Khalid
said.
Looks like luck is on our side" Lisa
replied as she pointed to a sign board.
The sign board was advertising a hotel1
just a fevw minutes walk from here.
"We could sleep there for tonight" Lisa
spoke with a hoarse voice. "There's
probably supplies there" she added.
We all agreed on sleeping there and
continued toward it's direction.
After a few more minutes of trekking,
we finally reached the hotel.
It was down hill beside the highway.
We all went down and when we
approached the hotel, Khalid stopped in
front.
He was about to open it when Richard
suddenly held his hand. Richard
knocked on the door loudly twice and
moved back a bit not before pointing
his gun at the door.
"Who the hell do you expect to answer
the doo--" Kevin was cut off as the door swung open and three infected came
rushing out.
Richard shot the closest one and Khalid
shot the remaining two.
We all entered the hotel building at
alert. We all knew there was going to
be more than just three infecteds so we
were cautious.
We scan the whole building and
we were surprised to find no other
infected.
I think it will be safer if we sleep
upstairs" Richard's voice broke the
silence.
After he said this, we all headed
upstairs and I and Lisa shared a room
while the boys shared another.
A few minutes later, Lisa was already
asleep and I was dozing off already
but as soon as I closed my eyes, I
heard a familiar uncomfortable
sound...snarling and growling.
The sound came from outside and since
my rooom had a window, I walk to it
and opened it then peeked outside butI
was shocked at what I saw. Now I knew
where the infecteds that were supposed to be on the highway had all gone.
They were in the forest and they had
now surrounded the hotel.
Before I knew what was happening,
they broke the doors and a lot of
infecteds stormed into the building and
this was not just the normal infecteds.
This were the faster and stronger ones
and there were more than a hundred of
them gushing in. Probably the people of
Entila who tried to flee when this whole
apocalypse shit started. We were surely
dead this time.
The infected have
started mutating and a lot if them are
entering the hotel.
"Fuck. Lisa get up" I yelled at lisa and
she jumped up almost instantly. She
looked startled at my sudden yell.
I ran around the from frantically
packing our bags and Lisa peeked
outside. After she did this, I heard her
mutter a curse word as she jumped off
the bed and came to join me in packing
our bags.
I switched off the safety of my gun,
pulled the slide and the click of the
bullet entering it's place sounded out
loud, and with this we headed into the
hallway.
I opened the door of the room the boys
were sleeping but they were not there
and that sent a shiver down my spine.
I looked around to try to see the
direction they went but froze as the
infecteds ran into the hallway.
The flickering lights just added to my
fear as Lisa and I dashed forward. We kept running for a few seconds in
a straight line but were cut off as three
infecteds popped out of nowhere.
We turned a hard right and continued
to sprint to nowhere exactly and after
another few seconds of running, I
stopped right in my tracks and turned
then wrapped my finger around the
trigger and started firing.
I closed my eyes shut not even
bothering to look at who or what I
was firing at and I did this until my
gun stopped which meant I was out of
bullets.
I opened my eyes back and heaved
a sigh of relief as I saw that all the
infecteds were lying on the ground in a
very large and still growing puddle of
blood so I reloaded my gun with the last
magazine I had and continued to run.
But my relief was short-lived as my
stomach tied itself into multiple knots
and my jaw dropped.
All the infecteds I had just shot were
getting back up and their bones were
making weird sounds as if they were
snapping out and into their positions.
Before I knew what was happening, some of those that are
infected started running towards us
once again.
"Let's go" Lisa yelled as she grabbed my
frozen body and yanked me out of that
hallway and into another.
We kept running for another few
seconds but stoped again as a body
appeared out of nowhere. I was about
to shoot when I heard the anonymous
person talk.
"Don't shoot" an African accent yelled
and Khalid came into view.
"Where's Richard and Kevin'" the
words busted out of my mouth as I ran
towards Khalid.
"I thought they were with you" Khalid's
answer wasn't one I wanted to hear at
all. "They are no-- shit, we have to keep
moving" he added as two infecteds
showed up behind me but Khalid
gunned both of them down almost
instantly.
After he shot them, we continued down
the hallway for a few seconds before
reaching two doors.
One was an elevator door and the other
door had a sign above it that said stairs but the elevator door had somethings
written on it.
"Don't open, dead inside, keep away,
danger zone" Lisa read the things
Written on the door hastily. "I think we
better pass the stairs" she added.
She opened the door and in a split
second, an infected jumped out but
before it was able to do any damage
Khalid shot it off her.
He ran into the dark stairway and lisa
followed him with me hot on her heels.
I closed the door after entering and
a few seconds later I could hear the
banging of the infecteds.
The stairway was in a spiral form and
I and Lisa followed Khalid who was
already heading down. He shot an
infected and the sound of the gunshot
echoed, obviously affecting us all as we
all grabbed our ears in unison and left
it a few seconds later.
After the ringing in our ears had
stopped, Khalid spoke up. "I think it
would be better if we don't use this
right now" he said and we all nodded as
we continued down the stairs.
We walked for another few seconds before reaching another door with
a sign that read lobby' above it and
luckily there wasn't any other infected
in the stairway but as soon as we
opened the door and entered the lobby,
we all came face to face with about ten
infected and they all started heading
for us.
"Get back!" Khalid ordered as shot an
infected. He wanted to shoot another
one but all we heard was a click which
meant he was out of bullets.
Khalid frantically searched his body for
another magazine as the infecteds were
getting closer to us but he didn't find
anyone but luckily Lisa had one so she
threw it to him and he quickly reloaded
then shot an infected that was only a
few inches away from him.
He shot the remaining within another
few seconds and after they were all
dead we all heaved a sigh of relief then
headed for the door that led out of the
hotel.
The infected outside the hotel were
far more than the ones inside the hotel
and as soon as they spotted us, they all
started chasing us.
The three of us ran into the thick forest and kept running deeper into it while
trying to lose the infecteds but they
were keeping up.
Khalid stopped every now and then to
shoot any infected that was very close
to us but this time no bullet was fired.
He was out of bullets and unfortunately
there wasn't any other magazine with
bullets in it so we just focused on
running away from the infecteds.
We ran for another few minutes
but when my body couldn't take it
anymore, I called for a break.
While breathing heavily and resting
on my knees I looked around to ensure
their wasn't any infected close by and
there wasn't any so I sat on the ground
to rest a bit more.
Lisa joined me on the ground but
Khalid still stood as he kept looking
around.
I was about to speak but was cut off by
static then a voice.
"Hey, is there anybody there?" Richard's
voice rang out of the walkie talkie that
was placed on Khalid's shoulder.
"Yeah, we are here. Are you guys okay?"Khalid questioned.
"Yeah, we are okay but we seem to be
lost" Richard stated.
"Could you describe what you see and
we'll try to come and find you?" Khalid
replied which made me to give him a
weird look.
We ourselves had no idea of where we
were not to now talk of finding somne
people and getting them out of here.
"I'm seeing nothing but trees but we are
in some sort of clearing. I think" Kevin
was cut off as raster and static sournds
took over his voice.
"We gotta go find them and once we
do, we'll know what to do next" Khalid
ordered and with that, he walked
deeper into the forest with Lisa and I in
tow.
It's been like forever and till now we
haven't seen any sign of Richard and
kevin.
We came across a few infecteds and we
had to take them out with the bottom of
our guns. It hasn't been easy but it was working
I looked at the sky and the full moon
illuminated a dim light unto the forest.
Sounds of crickets and other insects
filled the night silence as we continued
to search for Kevin and Richard and
a few seconds later we approached a
large clearing with a puddle of blood
that started from the center and went
into another side of the forest.
I scanned the area and a small gasp
escaped my mouth as I found Kevin's
walkie talkie lying right beside the
puddle of blood.
I sunk to the ground and started
thinking of our present situation, we
were not sure if Kevin and Richard
were alive not to talk of okay, we had
no bullet or ammo and just a little food,
we are lost in the woods and there is
probably a horde of infecteds right on
our tail. I just really hope we make it
out alive."But Kevin did say they were in some
sort of clearing" Lisa yelled at Khalid.
She wanted us to follow the trail of
blood but Khalid kept saying it couldn't
be for or from them.
"And what if this is a trap" Khalid
retorted
"A trap for what, dragons?" Lisa spat
with sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"They could have done this trying to
make a sign for us to follow" I also tried
to convince Khalid.
"If this blood is from one of them, the
person would be probably dead by
now, and I'm very sure it is not for an
infected because their bloods are a lot
darker than this".
Y
His point did make sense but Lisa
wasn't willing to give up easily, "but it
could be for an animal, Khalid please
let's just check it out, we don't know
where we are going anyways and we
have nothing to lose" Lisa pleaded.
Khalid hesitated for a second before
finally agreeing for us to follow the
trail.
***
The three of us followed the trial
of blood for a few minutes before
it suddenly disappeared and was
replaced with tire tracks.
Whoever did this must have dragged a
body from the clearing to a car and the
car drove of, leaving crushed leaves
and shrubs underneath it's track.
"I say we follow the tracks, it could
lead us to Richard and Kevin and to the
road" I suggested and we all did as I
said. We were about to continue our little
journey when an infected appeared
from the side of a tree trunk and started
heading for us.
Khalid kicked it back as it tried to jump
on him then he hit it in the head with
the bottom of his gun, pinned it to the
ground with his foot and hit the head
continuously till thick blackish-red
blood poured out of the side of it's head
and it stopped struggling.
We continued to follow the track for
another few minutes till we approached
a small pathway for cars.
We were now in another side of the
forest so we just continued to follow the
newest tire tracks that were made.
Not many cars have been passing by
recently so spotting the new one was an
easy task.
After following the straight pathway
in the forest, we approached a small
cabin with solar panels on the roof and
a four-sitter pick up truck packed in
front.
Blood smears were all over the boot
of the pickup truck and the smear
stretched to the side of the cabin although we couldn't see what made the
smear from where we were. There was
also guns and other supplies in the boot
of the truck.
We moved closer to the cabin and hid
behind a large boulder as a man with
beards that looked very dirty and
untidy came to the pouch of the cabin.
He removed a cigarette from a pack he
pulled out of his pocket then lit it with
a lighter. He puffed a thick cloud of
smoke as he put the lighter back into his
pocket and brought out a glock from his
trousers waist band.
A few seconds later, another man
came to join him and also did as the
gross-beard guy did. The other man had
beards also but his own wasn't as thick
and dirty and the first guy's own.
I was pretty sure there were more than
two men as I heard ruffling and other
loud noises coming from the house and
before I knew what was happening
three more men came out of the house
with one of them holding a little girl
with a knife pointed to her neck.
The other two were holding an older
woman who seemed to be the mother of
the girl.There was a gun pointed to her head and she had marks and stripes on
her body as if she had been seriously
beaten.
Blood mixed with sweat and tears all
trickled down her a face as the two men
roughly handled her and brought her to
the front of the cabin.
After all this unfolded, another man
with an ak47 rifle came out of the
house, he looked bigger than the rest
of the gang and from the way he acted,
it was quite obvious that he was the
leader of the group.
He gave a signal to gross-beard and the
other smoker and the two of them went
to the side of the cabin where the blood
smears lead to and a few seconds later,
they both appeared with a dead body.
They were dragging the dead body on
the ground which made another blood
smear and as the woman saw this, she
struggled to break lose from the two
men holding her but to no avail.
"Dre!" She screamed as tears rolled
down her cheeks.
Gross-beard and his smoker friend
dragged the very fat dead body to the
front of the woman who was now on her knees sobbing and the other two
guys holding her left her.
She fell to the ground completely and
loud and ugly sobs escaped her mouth
as she knelt over the dead body.
"So tell us what we want to know or
else she joins Dre" the supposed leader
of the group said while pointing at the
small girl who was also now crying. His
voice was very hash and deep which
sent a shiver down my spine.
"You monsters, look what you've done"
The woman screamed as she clutched
the dead body.
"Answer my question" the leader of the
gang said in a strict tone but the woman
just kept sobbing over the dead body.
"Well then, proceed" the leader said
and the bald guy that was holding the
small girl started to slice her throat
slowly with the girl gurgling, coughing
and gasping for breath. She looked like
she was in serious pain.
"Ella!" The woman screamed as she
stood up and ran to the girl I was
sharing a name with who was now
laying dead on the ground. "You monster-
BANG" the woman was
cut off as the leader of the gang shot her
in the head.
"Search the house and grab anything
useful" the leader ordered, looking
at the two guys who held the woman
and the bald man who slit the little
girl's throat. "You two, take care of the
bodies" he added as he faced the two
smokers.
The leader of the gang was about
to enter the pickup truck when
two guys came rushing in and they
were dragging an unconscious
body ...Richard's body.
I gasped as I realized this and different
thoughts started flooding my mind.
"Boss!, look at what we found" the older
man among the two yelled.
He was a lot older than the other one
who looked like he was the same age
with khalid.
"Is he dead?" The leader of the gang
asked, reading my mind.
"No, found him and another one
wondering about in the forest but
the other one escaped" the older man
replied, "I thought he was bitten so I did not go after him since his meat was
probably infected" He added.
After hearing this, my heart sunk and
the thought of Kevin being bitten just
made everything worse.
"Tie him up and put him with the other
bodies" the leader ordered and the two
guys holding Richard did as he said.
"We will kill him later" he added.
Few minutes later, the whole gang
members were now all in the pickup
truck. The leader was in the driver's
seat and the gross-beard guy and his
smoking partner were in the passenger
seat.
The remaining of the gang were all
cramped up in the back except for the
bald guy who was in the boot of the
truck. He was in the boot with all three
dead bodies and Richard.
After another few seconds, the car
roared to life and they drove off,
leaving dust on their trail.
We waited for a few seconds, and when
we assumed they must have reached a
safe distance, we came out of our hiding
place. Khalid led the way as we followed the
newly made tire tracks on the pathway
for cars.
We followed for what felt like eternity
before the express highway finally
started coming into view.
When we all saw this, we walked faster
and reached the main road a few
seconds later and when we reached the
main road, I was so glad to see that we
were at the end of the jam packed cars.
There was now a free road ahead of us.
"We need a car with a key inside so lets
start searching" Khalid ordered and we
did as he said and fortunately the first
car I approached had a key inside.
We all entered the car and as Khalid
was about to start the car, Lisa spoke
up.
"You guys do realize that Kevin might
still be alive and not bitten but if we
should leave right now, we are leaving
him stranded in the forest" Lisa stated.
"But if we don't go now, Richard will die
in the hands of does cannibals sooner
or later" Khalid replied her. "Ella what
do you think, I think it would be better "Did you hear that" Lisa was the first to
speak up.
"The fact that they would soon kill
Richard or the fact that Kevin is already
bitten" I answered while trying to force
tears back.
"Kevin might not be bitten, the guy said
he thought he has been bitten" Khalid
stated, laying emphasis on the word
thought. "And if we could find some
weapons and catch up with this people
fast, we could rescue Richard" he added
as an afterthought.
"But where are we going to find
weapons or ammo?" Lisa asked
nonchalantly.
"We could check inside the cabin,
there might be some weapons there" I
suggested and with that Khalid headed
for the cabin.
We followed in tow and when we were
finally at the door, Khalid swung the
door open.
We were all cautious incase there was
an infected nearby or another gang
member.
When we scanned the cabin and made sure everywhere was clear, we agreed
on our various search areas and I was
to search a room.
We split and went to our various search
areas and I went to the room.
I opened the door with a slight creak
following it and when the door was
opened, I walked into the room.
It was just like a normal room
containing a bed, a table in the corner
and a big chair beside the bed. It also
had a bedside stool placed beside the
bed with a lamp on it and a novel.
Beside the stool was a door, a door
probably leading to the closest and
immediately I opened the door I
couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Luck was obviously on our side today
with what I had just seen inside the
closet and for the fact that the crazy
cannibal gang didn't find it.
There were guns, glock pistols inside
the closet, about five and beside the
guns were magazines which were all
filled with bullets and there were also
packs of bullets placed in there.
The other corner of the closet was filled with little foodstuffs. There were
breads, canned beans and some other
foods but they were not very much.
The guns and bullets was obviously
enough for the meantime but we might
have to get more food sooner if we don't
find more food in this house.
Lisa and Khalid entered the room at the
same time with a look that said I found
nothing' on both of them.
"Found anything?" I asked
"Nope" Lisa replied simply and faced
khalid.
"Me neither" he answered our unasked
question.
"Well look at what I found" I stated as I
opened the door of the closet and Lisa's
and Khalid's eyes lit up.
***
We ate a little out of the food and
packed the remaining inside some bags
we found.
After eating and packaging, Khalid
shared the guns and we all carried
our bags in preparation for rescuing
Richard and headed out of the cabin. Khalid led the way as we followed the
newly made tire tracks on the pathway
for cars.
We followed for what felt like eternity
before the express highway finally
started coming into view.
When we all saw this, we walked faster
and reached the main road a few

"But if we don't go now, Richard will die
in the hands of does cannibals sooner
or later" Khalid replied her. "Ella what
do you think, I think it would be better if you make the decision on who we are
saving" he added as he and Lisa looked
at me uniformly.
I took a deep breath lost in thoughts
while trying to think of who to save.
So now I am in a dilemma to choose
between two important people in my
life.
If we save one successfully and leave
the other, he will surely die and now I
am left to make the decision. I am goirng
to have to choose between my brother
and a friend of mine who I might want
to be more than friends with.But Kevin did say they were in some
sort of clearing" Lisa yelled at Khalid.
She wanted us to follow the trail of
blood but Khalid kept saying it couldn't

(she finished narrating the story).
I know this is not the end but it is something I don't want to talk about.
Jake:tell us something more
woman:I don't have anything to tell you. leave my house.
(In the game world)
(An old man (Guardian) gathered a lot of children and he began to tell them the story of some group of teenagers that became the guardians of the game world after they entered a game that they stole).
Guardian:Hey children there was four teenagers that came to this world,they are full of dreams and they have kind hearts. They saved this world and they became the four arms of Guardians.
Luna:can you tell us about them?(she asked).
Guardian:I don't know everything but I will tell you the ones that I know. it was an experience I will never forget. it all began in the normal human world.
(a flashback was shown,this flashback shows Jake, he was sitting on a chair and he was waiting for his friends).

CHAPTER BEGINS
(Mike was falling to his death when Kyla and Jake grabbed him, they pulled him up but he was still screaming)
(A bright light appears in the dark room with the physics of a man dropping from an UFO)
Guardian: I am the guardian of the game world, you have made the greatest mistake of all by coming to the illusion world. didn't you read the instruction that this game is not for teenagers .
Mike:no! but I think we did.
(Flash back)
Game:This game is not for children under 18 years of age. The game is real and you might be trapped in a stage .
Jake:we are the gamers and we are going to play it anyway.
Mike:This instruction is just like that of devil and justice, we played it and nothing happened.
Kyla:we are going to do it.(she switched on the game).
(Mike and Kyla began to cry when they they remembered that they refused to listen to the instruction)
Guardian:you are now in the game, everything looks real but it is an illusion. you will feel every pain and you might die. there is only one way out of this world, head south and pick the flag, take it to the last check point in West.
Mike:(crying) where are we now, can you please tell us(he asked).
Guardian: north.
Jake: can we have compass to guide our ways
Guardian: sure (he gave them a compass and a map then he disappeared, he laughed and his face looks very scary).
Kyla:(she stopped them).
Jake: let's get going guys.
(they began to move, they were very tired and they were walking slowly).
(they enter a room after they jumped over the fire)
Mike: I have a bad feeling about this place.
Jake: what's wrong?(he asked).
Mike: l think it is haunted.
Jake: there is nothing like such and if there are ghost here we need to stick together. if we are together we are strong.
(a sound came out of the cave and it was very loud. Jake,Mike,and Kyla were scared and they were shaking).
lKyla:(screaming) help! help!! help!!!
(the sound increased).
Jake: I think your voice has drawn the beasts nearer to us.
(They pulled her out and they hid themselves in a room)
(They found a man and a woman lying on the bed)
Mike: sir!
The man:who are you people(he asked).
The woman:what do you want.(she asked too).
Kyla: The man is having two face;run!
(They jumped out of the room and they saw seven beasts coming towards their direction. The beasts jumped to attack them)
Kyla:Noooooooooooo....(she shouted).
(The guardian appeared and the four beasts crumbled to death. The other three ran away)
Guardian: You have leveled up. And you are having an upgrade available. you can now use weapons.these guns,knives and sword can kill any form of beasts,ghost or spirit. (He gave them the weapons).
(Their cloth changed to an armor suit and the weapons stayed in their right places on some part of the suit. The guardian disappeared).
Jake:Game on, gamers.
Kyla: let's do this guys.
(They started moving by following the compass they were given by the Guardian and they met the beast on their way to the first check point).
Jake: remember guys, guns can't be used for something that jumps, let's try sword.
Mike:yeah, let's do this.
Kyla:move it guys
(They faced the three beasts one on one)
Mike:how do we kill this things.
Jake: let's try stabbing their chest.
Kyla:I need help,this things will kill me .
Mike:I am almost there.
(Mike killed the beasts that was attacking Kyla and the beasts that he was fighting attacked him. By this time Jake has successfully killed the beast he was fighting and he cut off the head of the beasts that was about to attack Mike).
Mike: thanks brother.
(They moved out of the room and they entered a partly dark room, ghosts were attacking them from the dark side of the room)
Mike: let's use guns.
Jake: watch out! (he shot the ghost, and he vanished like dust)
Mike: thanks, we don't have to wait, let's get going.
Kyla:shoot! (she fired at the two ghost and they vanished)
Jake: I think we should run
(sounds were coming out of the room and unseen things were mumbling, the came out of the room and they sat down to rest)
Kyla: which door among the seven doors (she asked while pointing at the doors they were sitting close to)
Jake: we can sit until we try them
(a loud sound came and it and it shows that something big is heading their way. they ran towards a door and amazingly it was the exit. they got out, they sat at the entrance after locking the haunted house)
(they sat down to discuss)
Kyla: I think we made a huge mistake by playing this game
Jake: no, I don't think so. if we didn't steal it the government would have made a couple of them and imagine the rate of people that will die in this game. Everyone won't be as lucky as we are. I think it is our destiny.
Mike: yeah! Jake is right, if we are here because of a mistake, definitely our mistake is saving millions of life.
Kyla: we are heroes but I miss home
Jake: me too
(they discussed for a long time and they later slept off)
(this was the day one of their journey and they still have long way to go)
(the next day, they were still sleeping then a bottle of beer fell on Jake's head, no one knew where the bottle came from and he was bleeding. he is already losing his consciousness)
(curtain falls)
