Wretched Earth 2/5

Ava stared at the little girl's body, she had to do it. She had no other choice but to do it. Her heart was pounding, it was like her heart was about to get thrown up. She killed a kid for her own protection.

The gunfight was still ongoing, Stalker and Andrew saw Ava on the rooftop. The walkers flooded the alleyway, Stalker started to shoot the walkers one by one.

One of Hayden's men stormed towards Jug, Joseph and Dani. Jug swung the rebar, the spikes impacted him first. It didn't kill him, the guy just struggling to move.

Joseph looked at Jug. "Let me do it." Joseph stood up, Jug shook a bit. He didn't want to run away amid being a deer demi.

Jug shook his head. "No. It's my duty to protect!" Jug gripped the rebar and yanked it out, the guy covered his face, screaming in pain.

Jug swung again, this time it killed him.

Jaden made a sandwich and looked at Rose. "So. Blame yourself yet?" Jaden took a bit of the sandwich and went over to her again.

Rose was slowly removing the rope with a pocket knife she managed to have in her boot. "I don't blame myself for this. I stumbled into them." Rose winced in pain, Jaden went over. "They're good at fighting. No wonder Zach joined them." Jaden chuckled and went closer to Rose.

"You could join us, y'know. I'm sure Hayden would be very happy with that." Jaden smirked. "To hell with that, and to hell with you." Rose grumbled, this ticked off Jaden and he was about to hit Rose again.

Rose finally cut the ropes, she jabbed the pocket knife into Jaden's throat. "Like I said. To hell with you." Rose grinned, Jaden took out the pocket knife and stumbled into the door,

Rose limped over to Jaden, walkers were pounding on the door now. "Adios." She kicked Jaden, the door broke and he fell down, the walkers started to swarm Jaden.

Blood flew up into the air, Jaden's arm was up, meaning he was trying to call for help but a walker grabbed his arm and took out a chunk.

Rose backed up and snuck to the back exit, before she left she had grabbed Jaden's gun which was left on the table.

Cody turned around and saw that walkers were limping towards him, he aimed his gun and fired. Cody turned around and noticed that walkers were also coming from the other side. "Everyone we got to go!" He yelled but there were no responses.

"Fuck." Cody grumbled in a frustrated tone and shot another walker, however he still heard gunfire which meant some were still alive.

Jug picked Dani up and looked at Joseph. "Use my shoulder to balance yourself, and this." He handed him the rebar and Joseph nodded.

A walker bumped into the car they were behind, Ava went down from the rooftop once Stalker and Andrew cleared the walkers. "Where's the others?" Ava muttered and Stalker motioned his hand. "Back there, we need to be quick though." Stalker reloaded his gun and went back to shooting walkers.

Jug ran, bumping into Ava. "Thank god you guys are okay." He panted. Ava grabbed Dani from Jug. "We need someone to find the other two. We will need answers for this." Stalker suggested.

"I'll go." Andrew spoke, Jug shook his head. "I'm done running." He spoke, Andrew handed Jug his gun. "You'll need this, not the shitty rebar." He laughed, resting a hand on Jug's shoulder.

Jug nodded and took the gun from him. "Tired of this search party." He mumbled and ran back, dodging walkers.

Zach shot a walker with his rifle. "There's too many!" He turned around and saw Cody getting swarmed by walkers. "Shit!" Zach aimed his rifle and gunshots rang out, but they weren't from him.

Each walker fell on the ground, Cody turned around and looked at Rose. "We need to go." Rose smiled a bit, knowing they were okay. Jug found them, shooting a walker.

"Come! This way!" Jug turned around but it was too late. Walkers flooded the exit. "Does anyone know a good exit?" Zach suggested and shot a walker.

Cody lowered his fun and pulled out his dual blades, stabbing a couple of walkers before looking at Zach. "No clue!" He kicked a walker away.

"I know my way around. There's a sewage system close-by." Jug recommended. "Oh shit." Zach sighed. "Literally." Rose snorted.

Cody bonked Rose over the head. "What was that for?!" Rose shot another walker and looked at Cody. "For that terrible joke."

"Now can we stop fooling around and go?" Jug shot another walker and started to run. "Good idea." Cody mumbled and followed Jug.

Soon enough they reached a sewer drain.

Hayden watched them run, the veins in his eyes were turning red due to stress. He punched the rooftop. "FUCK!"

Jug tried to open the sewer drain. "It won't budge!" Jug kicked it. Cody stabbed a walker with his dual blades. "It would be a good time if anyone has a fucking crowbar you know?" Cody tripped a walker.

Rose shot at the sewer drain, which did nothing. Keep in mind that the sewer drain was the big one in the middle of the streets, it's not one of those small ones with no exit, it's the big ones that need daily maintenance.

Cody had no choice but to shove one of his dual blades in the small little crack, he started to push down but it was no use.

Zach came back from a hardware shop. "Here ya go!" Zach said, swinging a crowbar which killed a walker.

Cody took it and plunged it into the crack, opening it. "Go! Go!" Cody handed the crowbar back to Zach and he nodded, going down, Next was Jug and then Rose.

Cody went down last and pulled the lid back so that it would be hard, or impossible for the walkers to get in.

Stalker, Andrew and Ava got back, Stalker had rested Dani in a tent. Ted went over. "Ted is questioning where mommy is!" Ted poked Andrew with a stick, Alice went over. "Dad, you're okay!" She smiled, hugging Andrew's leg.

Stalker picked Ted up. "Your mom's sleeping forever." Stalker looked down, he knows he will find out sooner or later.

"Ted's mom is gone?" Ted tilted his head, Stalker nodded.
