Ch 07

Harry regained his consciousness and moved his head in the direction of Tom, he was up there on the glass window railings stretching his right hand in the direction of Harry, telling him to catch his hand quickly.

Harry once again turned his gaze towards the blood craving monsters and saw two of them coming at him ferociously to tear him apart while behind them, those four dead people he saw a while ago lying lifeless on the ground and being feasted upon and left with few or more body parts torn off from their body, were too gradually gaining their body movements back while acting in the same manner as of those who feasted on them.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Harry's body started trembling with fear and only one thought came into his mind which he transformed into words were-

"we are all going to die in this place."

He started repeating this sentence to himself over and over again when his attention was withdrawn by Tom's voice, "Harry! Harry! Quickly! Hold my hand!". Hearing this, Harry regained himself and quickly ran to some distance backwards away from the wall, then again turned back facing Tom and started running with all his energy and strength.

Those two zombies whom Harry saw coming at him were almost there by that time and the next moment, they lunged at him furiously. Harry instantaneously jumped from his place just escaping them by a very small margin and re-started running towards Tom. At some distance from the wall, with all his strength, he leaped at the wall, placed his one foot on the wall and jumped as higher as he could outstretching his hands towards Tom. He felt his life slipping away for a moment but the next moment, he was hanging in the air with his left hand into the solid grip of Tom's right hand.

"Got you buddy" said Tom pursing his lips.

"Don't lose me buddy or else I am dead." Reacted Harry in his frightening voice looking down on the monstrous creatures who were just beneath him growling and grunting at him.

"You are not getting away from me so soon buddy." Replied Tom pulling Harry up with all his strength.

After few seconds of struggling, Harry was up the window and into the building with his friend. It was already crammed up with huge number of people inside the building, they barely got their place among the crowd. They could see a feeling of great horror on everyone's face. No one had thought of this ever, even in their worst dreams. Their dream-trip on their dreamland had taken a scary, violent and much dark turn.

"What should we do now?" Asked Harry.

"I don't know, I have no idea." Replied Tom.

"Oh sh*t, where are others? Our buddies?" Realised Tom all of a sudden.

In escaping from those ravenous brutes, they hardly had any moment to pay attention to their friends or their whereabouts.

"I have no idea where they are! I just hope they are safe." Said Harry worrying about others.

"Damn Man! I lost my mobile phone while running." He added.

"Do you have your mobile phone with you?" Asked Harry.

Tom looked at his friend in great despair.

"I kept it in my bag along with other stuffs. It's in my hotel room." Saying this, Tom shook his head in despair.

Meanwhile...

"Open the door! Please! There are no zombies here!" Said Peter beating his fists against the door outside which he was standing with Sherlin and Juliet among others.

"How do we know there is no zombie?" Asked a woman from inside the door in her trembling voice.

"If those monsters were here, we would not be talking to you. We would already be dead by now." Replied a Man who was standing beside Peter.

"Please open the door. There is no space left here. We are barely standing." Said Sherlin in worn out voice crammed up among the people.

"Open the door or we will die from suffocating here." Juliet said.

"Should we open the door?" the woman inside asked a man standing beside her.

"I think they are right. They would not be talking to us if those creatures were there." Replied the man after thinking for some time.

There were 6 scared working staff inside that hall room on the 1st floor of that building who locked the door from inside in horror and panic.

One of the man stood up from among them and moved his legs towards the door. He reached at the door and slowly unlocked it in fearfulness.

As soon as the door opened, a huge number of people who were standing outside, rushed into the hall room. Sherlin, Juliet and Peter too got inside the room and felt a sense of relief as compared to earlier situation.

"You have your mobile phone right? Coz I have lost mine." Peter asked Juliet.

Juliet moved her fingers over the pockets on her jeans which she was wearing. Luckily, it was there.

She quickly took it out of her pocket and checked if it was working.

"Thank God! It's working. I completely forgot about it. We were clicking pictures on the beach when this catastrophe came." Juliet sighed.

"Where is the camera?" Juliet asked Peter.

"I lost it too, there only." Replied Peter.

" To hell with the camera, call your dad! Hurry up!" Said Sherlin shouting.

"Yeah" Juliet said and started dialling her dad.

"Hello! Dad!"

"Hii, my princess! How are you doing up there? Having fun?" Asked Juliet's Dad happily sitting on a chair.

"No Dad! Please listen to me" Juliet said in a frightening tone.

"What happened? Is everything all right?" Her Dad asked in a fearful manner standing on his feet.

"We have been attacked, Dad! By the Zombies! Many has died! Please save us!" Said Juliet fearfully.

"Attacked? Zombies? R you serious? You all are doing a prank on me right?" Said her Dad being stunned and confused.

"No Dad! They're real. They're all real. Please help us! A lot of people have already died here! There is blood everywhere! Please save us!" Juliet said in terrified voice.

Juliet had been a sincere girl since her childhood and she had never made these kind of jokes earlier and neither did any of her friends. Hearing his daughter speak this way in so much frightening voice plus all the screaming and crying voices coming from the background, Juliet's father believed his daughter.

"Where are you all then? Are you all safe? If what you are saying is true, then why haven't you called earlier? Where are those creatures? Where did they come from?" Worrying about his daughter, Juliet's Dad dropped a series of questions.

"Dad, there is no time to explain all this now. I will tell you everything later. My phone's battery is almost dead and we won't be able to connect to you as neither of us has phone and I can't charge mine either." Juliet said hurriedly.

"Please help us Uncle! Please save us!" Sherlin said in frightening voice taking phone from Juliet.

"I'm immediately going to inform ...

And the call was disconnected as phone's battery had died.
