Chapter Two: The Gang Gets Together


Blaire walked around, looking for the business she had a job interview with. She walked in, looking around the small office for the man she was supposed to meet. 
"Hello?", She called. The office seemed to be dead. There was a feint knocking coming from a storage closet in the back. 




As she went to go open the door, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Blaire spun around quickly and jumped back. 




When she saw the man's face she screamed, slowly taking the gun she always carried off of her side. She could tell something was wrong when the man ran up to her and snarled, trying to bite her. She kept backing up.




"Come any closer and i'll shoot!", She yelled, but the man kept coming. She shut her eyes and fired. She opened one eye and looked down, the man was dead. 




Blaire slowly walked to the closet and opened it, seeing another man inside, who'd been hiding there for protection.





"Oh thank goodness!", He said and rushed out, screaming when he saw the zombie. "You killed it!", he said and turned towards her. 
Blaire nodded slowly, still in shock. "It tried to hurt me." The guy gasped. 
"I heard news reports... but.. I-I didn't believe them.", He said looking completely afraid. Blaire frowned.
"Believe them about what?", She said.
"The zombies of course! Do you live under a rock?!", He asked.
 Blaire ignored him and searched the cabinets, looking for more guns. She found a second pistol and took it. She started heading out the door, but the guy stepped in front of her. 






"Can I tag along with you?", He asked and pushed his glasses up. Blaire rolled her eyes, she didn't need another person slowing her down, but maybe he could help.
"Fine.", She said and pushed past him out of the door. Blaire walked around, looking for shelter. She stopped when she found an abandoned house.  It was too risky, she wasn't going in there. The guy however, ran right inside. Blaire would wait five minutes, and if he didn't come back out, she was leaving.




Tim rushed in, hoping to find her. The woman he'd been in love with since highschool. Sure her house was only half a house, but he had hope. He walked around calling her name. Tim ran upstairs, looking around and trying to find her.  
"Alex?", He called. "Alexandria! Where are you?", Little did he know, she was right behind him.




She attacked him before he had time to scream. He fell back and hit his head on a table, knocking himself out. 




Alex finished him off, ready for more.




Blaire frowned. He hadn't come back so she started walking again. She passed by the beach, even though it was risky, and saw someone. He didn't seem to be a zombie, so she slowly walked over and tapped his shoulder. The guy spun around, he'd been looking in a mirror.
"Oh hello! I'm James.", He said grinning. "You don't look like one of them! That means you're human!" 





Blaire put her hand over his mouth.
"Hush!", She whispered. "You don't know how many are probably here! We need to go now.", She frowned and started tugging him. Something fell out of his pocket that she stepped on, and he burst into tears.
"You stepped on my baby!!", He said and picked up the thing.  Blaire realized it was a mirror. "Now I can't see if my hair looks okay!!", He said crying. Blaire stared at him.
"Would you rather be dead, or have bad hair?", She asked. He sighed after much debate, and walked after her, throwing the mirror into the sand.
"You know.. you never told me your name..", He said. 
"Blaire.", She said not even glancing back at him as she walked. James was jogging to keep up with her. It was dark outside and they needed to find shelter, fast.
"You know, if I weren't so darn sexy, I might think you were cute.", He said grinning again. Blaire was about to say something, but she came to a halt infront of one place.





"What?", James said curiously looking at her. 
"Someone's covered something here. help me out.", She said and pushed some branches aside. There was a small door which she opened, and took out one of her guns. "Let's go.", She said and decended down into the dark basement. James didn't want to go, but after seeing another zombie in the street, he followed after her. James bumped straight into Blaire, who was looking for a light switch.
"Ow! You idiot!", She whisper shouted. She'd knocked something over, but coudn't tell what it was. 


Meanwhile, across the room, Derrick had heard them assuming a zombie had gotten in. He got up off of the couch and slowly grabbed a gun, coming towards them. He lit a candle on the wall, and backed up quickly. 





Blaire was about to say something, but James beat her to it.
"Another human!!", He said excitedly. Derrick frowned. 
"How did you find this place?", Derrick asked.
"Well, when there's a cluster of bushes it's pretty suspicious... to humans anyway.", Blaire said. "So can we crash here?"
Derrick nodded slowly. "None of you have been bitten right?", He asked. Both Blaire and James shook their heads. "Good. I'm Derrick and over there is Jessica.", He said and pointed to Jessica who was asleep on a tiny bed in the corner.





Blaire nodded. "I'm Blaire, and this is-"
"Do you happen to have any mirrors?", James asked.
Derrick nodded. "There's one in the bathroom." James ran into the bathroom, checking himself out.


Blaire blinked. "Well then", she said. "This should be fun."





Chapter One: Jessica and Derrick


Derrick:

Derrick knew the zombies were coming, he worked at the lab, cleaning while the doctors ran experiments on some little girl, who's mother had claimed this disease was eating her alive. While one doctor was injecting a test cure into her neck, Derrick watched as she turned her head and bit him. They put the doctor into one quarantine room, and the girl in another. A couple days later, the doctor was taken over by the disease. The infection seemed to get stronger everytime it was passed on. The walls were concrete, but the infected doctor easily broke out of them. Not one person could find him. 


Weeks later, almost everyone in the town was infected. Derrick knew the instant that little girl came in, he needed to prepare. Before the outbreak, he quit his job and moved into an under ground home. He covered the entrance with bushes and other plants so no zombies could ever find him.






Meanwhile...


 Jessica was trying to find a brand new, high priced clothing shop she'd heard of. Little did she know, she wrote the wrong address down. She stopped at where it was supposed to be and looked around. "Where's the shoooooop..", She whined, tired of walking. She turned around in a circle, maybe she'd missed it, or it would magically appear. 








Jessica heard some sort of growling behind her and turned around. Some girl was covered in blood, running towards her. Jessica screamed. 
"Red is completely out of season!!", Jessica said, unaware this thing was a zombie. 
Suddenly, she was pushed out of the way by a stranger with a gun. She stared at him with wide eyes. 
"Don't shoot me!!", Jessica begged. The stranger wasn't aiming at her, but at the horribly dressed girl.








The stranger fired at the girl, and kept firing until the bullets entered the girl's head.








 Jessica screamed, afraid he'd ruin her pink outfit, nevermind killing her. 






"Come on!", He yelled at her and started running.
"But... where are we going?", Jessica said quickly walking after him in her heels. The stranger rolled his eyes. 
"Away from those... things.", He said and pushed some branches aside, revealing a hidden staircase. He looked back at Jessica. "Well come on.. unless you wanna be one.", He said. Jessica frowned. 
"I don't even know your name! And be one what?", She said turning her head to the side. The stranger sighed and held out his hand, quickly taking hers and shaking it. 
"I'm Derrick, those are zombies, and if you down get your butt down here we'll both be dead.", He said and ran down the stairs. Jessica followed after him. 





"Zombies?! You mean the people with the horrible clothes and makeup?", She asked. Derrick was irritated.
"Yes! Them!", He facepalmed. This was not going to be fun.
"You know.. you shouldn't hit yourself.", Jessica said and giggled. "They say it kills brain cells." 
"From what I can tell, you don't have many.", Derrick laughed.
