chapter 3 the hoard

As everyone rushed to get the house boarded up. Rose pulled zero aside "thank you for helping me" she said to zero blushing. "Don't mention it" zero replied "tbh I already have someone else that I like" zero said looking over at Emily.

"Oh" rose said looking over at Emily and then looking down. "Zero the little girl over there is watching your little sister, we're also really glad that we found you guys" josh said looking at rose and zero. "I'm not interrupting anything right?" Josh said looking at zero "no but when you got here there was a miss understanding with her and everyone here" zero said looking at josh seriously "oh so that's why when I bursted in she was naked and you had your shirt off?" josh said quizzically "let's not talk about it anymore josh" zero said looking at him with anger

"How's the preparations going with you guys" Emily asked zero as he walked past her "umm not bad can I get your help upstairs though I have a idea?" Zero said as he walked upstairs. Emily looked over at josh and cassy quizzically. "Go get him girl" josh said as cassy punches his arm "no funny business. You hear me bitch" cassy said glaring at Emily "no worries here" Emily said rolling her eyes as she walks upstairs to join zero. "So what's up" Emily asked zero when she got upstairs "you remember the cosman air soft rifle I got and hid upstairs?" Zero said as he grabs the rifle "yeah. I mean you did just grab it what's your plan" Emily said as zero opens up a window "it should be quiet enough to get some target practice with so we can defend ourselves" zero said as he takes aim at a zombie who is leading the hoard "zero did you enjoy the view earlier with rose?" Emily asked as zero dropped the first zombie with one shot "no" zero replied and looked down at the roof "but I did sneak a view of you as we were getting dressed in the bathroom" he said blushing "oh?" Emily replied walking towards the door and quietly closing it and locking it "what did you think of me?" she said turning bright red

As she said that zero and Emily heard a loud scream from one of the zombies outside and they all started running towards the houses and beginning to drag survivors out who didn't know about the hoard. "You looked amazing" zero said "however right now we need to help the others". "Yeah because it seems like using the bigger ones to get inside the homes" Emily said pointing at the three big zombies breaking into homes and feasting on the people they brought out

"Do you think that you can make those shots?" Emily asked zero pointing at the closest one "yeah I think I can. But it's interesting how they can communicate and strategize a plan of attack like that" zero says as he takes aim at the first one and drops it with a single shot to the head making the others attack where it fell "yeah" Emily answers as a bigger one with a bulletproof helmet walks into view "I don't think I could drop that one that easily" zero said looking at Emily who's taken off her shirt and braw "if I'm going out I'd rather go out in a bang" she said smiling at zero "that's it a bang" zero said looking at her and blushing "please put on your clothes and tell the others to turn off every light. Its attracting the big one and the others" as zero said that he took aim at a gas truck that had crashed and was leaking fuel "let's hope this works" zero said as bigger one got next to the truck and shoots at it causing the gasoline to ignite leading into the truck and causing it to explode killing a bunch of zombies near it but only blasting the helmet off and badly damaging the armor it was wearing but shaking the entire house.

Josh bursted into the room to see zero taking aim again even though josh seen blood falling to the floor in front of zero "zero your injured" josh said as he looks up at zero's eye seeing a piece of glass sticking out. "I'm going to finish this fucker off" zero yelled making it clear that he was still hearing the ring of the explosion when josh looked out the window "dad" he said as the zombie got up half burnt but bleeding from where he once had a arm. Josh smacking the air soft gun away before zero could take the shot. "What the hell josh that's not your father anymore it's a god damn zombie" as zero said that josh looked at zero. That's when zero and josh heard the biggest zombie scream and all the other zombies started retreating while the injured big zombie looked at the house where zero and josh were standing in looking directly at him "RUN"it yelled causing zero and Josh to jump as the zombie turned and moved away causing zero and Josh to look at each other "did he just?" Josh asked zero looking complexed. However zero had already honed in on his next shot "yeah he did, however that's his last word" as zero said that he pulled the trigger and the bigger zombie dropped to one knee only to get back up and turn away from the house's and ran away with the other zombies joining their hoard.

"Well that sucked" zero said as he pulled the glass out of his eye. "Really zero that's all you can fucking say after you shot at the biggest fucker you could find in a hoard of zombies who just happened to be my dad and the best thing is that you can say is that sucked?!" Josh yelled at zero as Emily walked in the room seeing zero's wounds "holy shit" as she rushes to zero with bandages for his eye "who yelled run?" Emily asked looking at zero and josh "ask his zombo dad" zero said looking at josh who punched zero in the mouth "watch it zero just because you think that your in charge doesn't mean that it can't change" he said looking down on zero and Emily who was shielding zero after josh punched zero "that's enough josh zero was just saying that it was your dad who saved our asses" she snapped
