Jack watched as more zombies started to move to where Cammie, Gene and Darius where holed up. "Crap!" He moved in front of the window and pointed out the building the others were in.

Jack dropped to the ground and crawled quietly but quickly behind the boy standing at the window. With a surprisingly quick movement, he grabbed the boys forehead, plunged his butterfly knife into the zombie's spine, severing it. He threw the body to the side and put his pistol to another zombie's head and blew it away. He looked into the window and into Cam's watery eyes, like the daughter he could never have. As another zombie grabbed him, he stabbed his knife into it's jaw and pushed it back into the others. "Catch me if you can, jackasses!" He turned and pushed another zombie to the ground as he ran to the end of the block, turned the corner, and climbed into an abandoned apartment, the whole of the zombie horde in tow.

Damian Knight was having a look in his favourite weapons and armour store(swords, axes, bows, crossbows, arrows, bolts etc), next to Hot Topic and across the Street from a Music store. The elderly shop keeper was going to open up a glass cabinate to get out a shield for him when there was screaming outside.
The shop keeper paniced and thus locked the secure door with Damian Knight still inside, thankful of the strong barred windows he had and walked back to the cabinate. Then he started to clutch his heart and collasped.
Damian Knight who was still in his full plate knight armour from the training of the marathon he was planning to run for charity, knew that by the time he could get help the shop keeper would be dead. So unfortunatly all he could do was watch him die which occured in a couple of minutes.
He than heard banging on the windows and door and saw people trying to get in, but they looked wierd, not only did they have lots of injuries, mainly bite marks, but they looked devoid of intelligence and dead. He thought, they must be zombies. Well I better check the back room,
he walks to the back room and checks for zombies, with his longsword in hand, he notices no zombies and is relieved when the only access from the back is a corregated metal door with a manual mechanism to open and close it.

Gene smiled when she had, grinning widely. He then listened to her start to stutter about her cat, his smile fading and heart sinking. He heard the gunshots and groans of zombies grow loudly and suddenly fade from outside. "What's the crazy jackass doing?" he said, sighing. He watched him running down the street with the crowd in tow like a parade or protest. Gene turned to Cammie, seeing the small tears trickle from her eyes. He set a gentle arm on her shoulder and then wrapped his arms around her. "Hey, don't cry about it, your kitten wouldn't have wanted you sad would it?" he whispered to her, trying to use a cliche.

Damian Knight decided that since for the moment he was trapped in the weapon store with the elderly store keeper dead from a heart attack that he should check the upstairs. He slowly approached the door that lead to the stairs and went upstairs, on the first floor there was a storeroom. One side of it was filled with crossbow bolts, arrows and throwing daggers, he thought was this elderly shop keeper planning on fighting a war as he couldn't possibly plan on selling all of those. The other side was filled with food and bottled water. The food was mainly tinned/canned with good sell by dates, along with some fresh fruit and vegetables. He thinks thats not normal to have, did he see this coming, no he might just have been paranoid about a number of things. He then started to walk up the stairs to the 2nd floor.

Ellen veered from the alleyway she was standing in, the sight of a stumbling male didn't exactly inthuse her. She quickly shuffled from store to store, constantly glancing around her, not entirely sure if it was paranoia, or whether the shuffling sounds of slowly paced walking was actullay real. The cool breeze of the night air blew her long, wavy hair from her face, luminating her pale skin under the moonlight and street-lamps. Her lip ring glistened as she walked by a neon lighted chip-shop. Then it caught her attention.

From the shadowy pathway beside the store, she saw the approaching 'undead' figure. It's zombie features flashed on front of her eyes. It's arms almost grabbed her, she jerked away from them swiftly, knowing stealth was the only thing she had over these guys. She cussed under her breath and ran forwards, aware of the creatures approaching from behind cars and lamp-posts.

She began to slam her fist against every store door she passed, no luck seeming to come her way. She lingered at the doors for no longer than a minute and asked for help in the lowest tone she could. Hot Topic was the next store in sight, she reached the door, slamming her wrist against it with impatience, gritting her teeth together as she spoke the words again; "If somebody is in there, please help!"

Jack barreled up the stairs as fast as he could, shouting taunts and jeers to the zombies to keep them in tow. He reached the fifth floor, which was about half of a story higher than the next building over in the direction of the Hot Topic he saw Cammie and the others in. "Let's hope they don't have any problem solving skills..." he muttered as he opened the window to the fire escape. He looked over to the next building.

The gap was only a few feet, but failure meant death or zombification, which was definitely worse. He put one foot on the ledge of the escape and jumped, rolling to break his fall. He fell to the ground when he landed and checked to make sure nothing was broken. Thank God...Can there even be a God? I mean, just look at this world... He then noticed there was no way off of this rooftop, as the two adjacent buildings were both taller and he had no way of getting into the building he was on top of.

((I'm sorry I haven't got to post. I went to post,but my internet was being a... well it was messing up yesterday. Today my computer was acting out. ))

Amy pratically ran over to Alex.
"Alex,Alex! There are other survivors! They're in the Hot Topic! We got to go!" She whispered to him. Alex nodded at her. He threw her,her two guns,and kept one for himself. He took a knife,as Amy stuff her knife into her jacket pocket. She shoved a piece of her brown hair,behind her ear.
He kept his drummer's stick,they had managed to help him before. He found a piece of glass,and kept it.
"Ready for this,Aim?" He asked,stepping up to the door.
"As ready as I'll ever be." She said taking a breath. He kicked open the door,in the quietest way he could. It was still pretty loud.
"Crap..." He said,as a couple of zombies came towards them. Amy stepped out from behind them,with her knife.
"Don't shoot. At all. It'll attract more!" She said. Running to a couple,a stabbing their eyes out. Blood spurted on her,and she gagged. They were already bloody,but she really hated it. Alex took the piece of glass,and killed one that had threatened to bite Amy. He took her hand,and stared running towards the Hot Topic.
He knocked on the door,quietly,hoping the other man had gotten back saftly.

Cammie sniffled and curled into a ball. Her blue eyes were watery and red. She looked up at the sudden noise and saw Jack killing the zombies and then saw him lead them away from the shop.

She watched as he ran away and then sniffled and whipped her eyes on her white sleeves. She jumped at the sudden contact from Gene and then blushed a fire engine red when he wrapped his arms around her. She nodded and smiled and then pushed his arms away and wiped her eyes and grabbed her hat back and grinned. Her eyes were still a little red but she ignored it and raised an eyebrow at Gene. “Hey can I smoke in here now I really –“

She was cut off when she heard a slamming on the glass and then heard someone speak. She jumped off the table and jogged over to the door and saw three people outside. She sighed and then ran a hand through her hair and sighed. She unlocked the door and pulled person after person inside the store and then slammed the door shut and locked the door. She looked at the new additions to the survivor group and sighed. She eyed the boy and the two girls and then shrugged and walked back over to the counter and sat on top of the counter and sighed.

She looked at Gene and Darius and then frowned. “So Gene can I smoke now or no…?” She pulled her hat off and ran a hand through her black hair and turned her attention back to the people. She pointed to Darius and then Gene and herself and grinned.

“He is Darius, This Guy right here is Gene and I'm Cammie…” She grinned and then pulled her lighter and her pack of Marlboro cigarettes out and looked at Gene. “Need…to…smoke…” She mumbled and then pulled out a cigarette and put it in her pink lips and lit it.

"Hi! Thanks for saving us.."Amy said,looking around for the man who had told them to follow them.. She didn't see them,and got a worried look on her face.
"Hi,everybody. I'm Alex,this is Amy..And I don't believe I know her." He said,smiling. Amy got close to Alex's ear.
"Where's that guy who told us to follow him?" She whispered,worriedly. Alex shrugged,and Amy sighed.

Gene smiled when she had blushed and was happy with himself. He spotted the new people and waved to them. He sat down on the counter next to Cammie and nodded to her. "Sure, you can smoke now, I don't mind" he said, giving her a nice smile. He didn't like it, but it would calm her down. He leaned slightly on her, pulling her manga over and grinning. "This is interesting, mind if I read with you?" he asked, avoiding eye contact.

Jack frantically looked around the rooftop for a piece of rope, something to cushion him, but all he found was a small rock. Wait a sec, if I could lower myself down to a window and use this rock to break a window. I've gotta try.

After a minute or so of mental preparation, Jack stepped to the ledge, rock in his left hand. Wait I could just use my knife, duh...God I'm an idiot sometimes. He threw the rock as far as he could and heard it land in a street somewhere quite a distance away. "Oh hell yeah..." he snickered for a moment. "Alright, here we go." Jack lowered himself so he was holding himself up on the roof's edge.

He dropped down a few inches and caught the top of the windowsill. His arms started to burn as Jack noticed there was nothing below him to rest his feet on. Crap! Guess I'll just have to do this the hard way. He slowly moved his arms in closer to each other to swap the knife into his right hand, then spaced himself out again. Using his knife hand to slowly cut out the glass, Jack felt his grip loosen.

Knowing he had little time, he finished a very crude window cutting and pushed it in, landing on top of it with a low thud. "That...was...close. now I have to get back to the others."

hen Damian Knight reached the second floor he saw the livingroom/bedroom of the shop keeper. It was messy with a bed in the middle of the room with drawing of zombies eating people all over the place. He saw a dairy and thought, maybe this will explain whats going on. After reading it he discovered that this man believed that he could see the future in his dreams and he saw this zombie outbreak coming, night after night. Then he started preparing for the outbreak by stocking up on water, food, wood, toilet roll etc, baring the window, getting secure doors. Damian Knight thought no wonder he was in such a hurry to lock the store when the commotion occured because he was expecting an outbreak.

He then moved into the kitchen, a small kitchen with a wood powered cooker and no electrical appliances, which was the same around the building. He then went into a corridor which had a room leading to the bathroom with a bath, toilet and a 5 gallon bucket. Another door lead to a storeroom filled with toilet roll and wood. Then the final door lead to a doorway on the roof. It was another secure door locked with many strong bolts. He listened to the door and heard no noises so he opened it.

He was then on the roof. He saw that the fire escape had been lifted so no-one could access the roof from it. There was a rooftop garden with some basic fruit and vegetables, the same ones that were found in the storeroom. He thought thank goodness this old man was prepared and I just happened to be in this shop. He looked over the roof to the ground and saw a mass of zombies on the ground. He thought, hey why not shoot some zombies with that crossbow from downstairs, it will definitly help pass the time.

Ellen was just about to give up and try the next store as she was pulled in by a rather firm grasp. Her eyes didn't re-adjust until she was standing on front of a rather large amount of people. She tryed to force a smile and waved gingerly. She was aware, however, of the fact that it was plainly obvious that she was un-comfortable. She walked over to the girl who introduced herself as Cammie and held out her hand. "Mind if I have one?"

Ellen didn't generally smoke, but when she did, it managed to take all the stress away. Her eyes were eager and a rejection wouldn't stop her from yanking them from the girls grasp. This Cammie was rather like herself, except she had dark, short hair. But in other aspects; Ellen noticed the manga dis-garded on the counter she sat on. Without invitation, Ellen jumped on the counter and sat beside the girl, still awaiting a response. Ellen fixed herself, straightning out her worn denim jeans, and re-positioning her white shirt which exposed her abdomen.

Darius was looking at Cammie with concern "Even if you would rather die of cancer, I can imagine the addiction might have a negative effect when fighting zombies. The smell, and possibly even the light from the cig itself." Darius looked at Gene "How long do you think we can hold out here and when will we have to defend ourselves?"

When Jack stood up and looked around the hallway, he noticed a small piece of glass had relocated itself in his leg. It wasn't very deep in and at most a little blood would leak out, but his wound was now a damning hole in his defenses. He looked himself over for an unneeded piece of cloth, and decided part of his shirt would do. He cut off his left sleeve and tied it around his leg over the cut. Alright, that should hold it.

Jack stepped out of the small building and used the sounds of the retreating horde to find the direction of the Hot Topic. After a few minutes of crawling on the ground, he had made it to the outside of the store. Not knowing what defenses they had, Jack simply stood up and tapped lightly on the safety glass.

Amy was with her back to the glass. A tap was on the glass. It was the man. She opened the door,and grabbed him in.
"Hi." She said,closing the door,quickly.
But closing it quickly was a mistake. She accidently made it 'Bang'.
A few zombies startied clawing at the door,and safty glass.
"Oh,sorry guys. How long'll the glass hold?" Alex asked,concerned.

Gene sighed, looking around at the nearby people, sighed, sitting up right. "Alright, all we know is that the safety glass will hold for a few hours, plus the shelves will hold out enough for us to leave" he explained. He shook his head then. "But there isn't enough food her for all of us here, and we're going to have to find a new place with enough food for all of us" he said. He sighed and pulled his pistol out of his pocket. "And, we're also not in a video game, we need more ammo soon" he said, pulling out a clip. It had seven bullets left. He spotted the zombies, shrugging. "And a place that doesn't have to many of them nearby."

Damian Knight goes downstairs and gets a heavy crossbow from the store, by breaking the glass with is armour. He grabs the crossbow and goes to get some bolts from the storeroom. He grabs a few sets of bolts, 100 in total and makes his way to the roof of the weapon store. He finds a good spot on the roof and loads up the crossbow, looking at how many zombies there were he knew he wouldn't run out of targets anytime soon, and with the amount of provisions here, he wouldn't run out of them anytime soon. He could even take more people in if there were any outthere, there was enough to last for years including the garden which if kept properly could supply food for life. With the water collection system on the roof as well, water would not be scarce either since this city was known for its decent rainfall.
He started to aim for a random zombie down on the street, he lets loose his bolt and it hits the zombie in the shoulder who didn't react at all. "Darn it I missed, oh well I'm sure I'll get better." he said as he reloaded. He took aim again and this time it went staight in the head, felling it instantly. This continues for a while, after using all 100 bolts he manages to kill of 57 zombies, but that is only the tip of the iceberg.
(Everyone feel free to come to the weapon store)

(will do lol ^^)

Cammie nodded when the two introduced themselves and then lit her cigarette and took a deep breath. When Gene leaned over and pulled the manga over to him a little bit Cammie shrugged and then nodded.

“Sure be my guest…” She let him flip the pages and then when they were done Cammie scooted over so that the girl could sit next to her and when she asked if she could have one Cammie nodded and then smiled.

“Good to know someone else here smokes…” She pulled out a cigarette for her and then lit it and put it into the girl’s lips. When Darius said something about the cigarettes and the zombies Cammie just merely shrugged and looked at him with a bored stare. When Amy pulled the guy in and slammed the door Cammie sighed and face palmed herself.

She looked up at Gene’s observation and an evil grin spread across her face. Her blue eyes flashed with excitement and she knew where it would be the best place to go. She had talked to the old man who owned the Weapon store and knew about his dreams and the zombie infection. She got up and pulled out her knuckle blades and put them on her fists and was still grinning.

“I know the perfect place to go…” She was cut off when the zombies In front of the store dropped and had arrows in them. She laughed and then walked over to the door and opened it, not caring if the people were going to follow her or not. She closed the door behind her and then walked down the street dodging the slow zombies and slashing the ones that got too close.

She dug her blades into a zombie’s eye and then pushed him off the blade and jogged over to the Weapon Store and slammed her elbow onto the wood making sure that whoever was inside heard her and let her in a.s.a.p.

Gene sighed and leapt up after Cammie. "Wait, Cammie, damn it!" he said, running after her. He flipped open his pocket knife, stabbing a zombie in the head as it got to close. He drew his pistol and blew the head open of one that had tryed to bite him. The sound had alerted the other zombies, as they sooned let out various moans and started moving toward the two of them. "Shit, I guess that was pretty stupid" he said, backing up next to Cammie. He banged his elbow on the door. "HEY, OPEN THE DOOR!" he yelled, knowing the zombies were already knew where the were. He stabbed another that got close, it falling forward in death. Gene pushed one back with his foot, knocking it back into the others. "Come on guys, help out!" he shouted to the people still in the Hot Topic.
