Josiah pulled the gun and aimed it at dodge saying give me the shotgun or die this place is ours now if you give me trouble I'll feed you to the munchers .
naeus wasn't gonna let this happen if it was a choice between his shitty stepbrother and a kid it was an easy choice.
he pulled out the crowbar Josiah had given him earlier and hit him over the head not wanting to kill him he held back hoping to knock him out but it wasn't enough.
Josiah almost fell swaying a little bit before turning around aiming the gun at naeus who swung the crowbar at Josiahs wrist as he was turning around.
with a sickening crunch Josiah yelled out in pain and dropped the gun and even this didn't stop him though as he roared angrily he tackled naeus into one of the shelves causing him to drop the crowbar.
Josiah was a heavyset guy and used his weight to hold naeus down while wailing on him with his good hand.
naeus tried to fight back but one of his arms was pinned under Josiahs heavy body and it was all he could do to block Josiahs desperate blows with his other arm was this it was Josiah finally going to kill him?
...
dodge couldn't understand why the other guy hit the guy with gun but he knew he did it to help him but it looked like he was going to lose and then what would happen?
he didn't know what to do he didn't want to kill anyone he didn't wanna be like his mother.
he put the shotgun down and picked up the cash register and walked around the counter he lifted the heavy old register up over his head and slammed it down over Josiahs head.
finally he went limp.
....
with his arm pinned naeus needed dodges help to get out from under Josiah.
after getting up naeus gets a text on his phone he takes it out the screen is cracked now but it still works he thinks to himself I wonder how long the phones will keep working .
he looks at the text and his expression changes he picks up Josiahs gun and his crowbar then asks dodge if there are anyone more weapons here. Dodge
says there are some more guns upstairs in his grandpa's gun locker but its locked.
naeus says holding the crowbar in his hands
well it's a good thing I have a key.
before going upstairs he ties up Josiah with some Christmas lights he found on the shelf and gets his car keys out of his jacket.
he tells dodge that his freinds are in trouble and he has to go help them and asks if dodge wants to come with him or stay here.
dodge picks up his shotgun and says he doesn't want to be alone anymore so they go upstairs.
dodge finds a duffle bag to put all the guns and ammunition in while naeus prys open the gun locker in the locker there is a handgun two rifles and a crossbow still in its box.
dodge said his grandpa got it for him cause he was going to take him hunting but they never got around to it.
naeus takes out the crossbow out of the box and says this is good guns are too loud and we can reuse the bolts.
he puts Josiahs gun in the duffle with the other guns and tells dodge he needs two melee weapons one to fight with and a back up.
dodge gets a ball pin hammer and a rolling pin
naeus looks at him and dodge says what it was all I can find.
naeus tells him that's okay and tells him to fill up a backpack with non perishable food.
then he sits down and pulls up a YouTube video on his phone
how to drive a car for the first time in a emergency without crashing.
he watches the video twice to make sure he gots it down and then asks dodge if he has any old toys or anything that makes a lot of noise.
dodge goes too his room and comes back and awith a remote control fire truck and and a talking toy robot saying he put fresh batteries in them the robot says things like destroy and kill all humans it also makes laser noises.
naeus tapes the robot to the fire truck and hands it back to dodge we can use this to lure away munchers that get too close so that they dont waste ammo.
loaded up with weapons and food naeus and dodge finally leave the convenience store before leaving they pull down the security door even though Josiah tried to kill them they still dont want him dead.
heading back to the forest they make there way back to the crackhouse. when they get there the police sirens are still going but the police are gone their car is swarmed with munchers but it's too close to Josiahs car so they can't get close.
all of the sudden they hear glass breaking nearby and turn to look and see a beer bottle hit the ground luckily the zombies dont hear it over the sirens.
they look up and see a cop lady on the roof of the crackhouse she waves at them with a big smile on her face it looks like she's been trapped up there for a while .
naeus thinks for a minute before deciding to help her he motions to the cop lady to wait a while and they go to a neighboring house.when they open the door a muncher leaps on naeus and knocks him down before it can bite him dodge hits it upside the head with his hammer kicking the limp muncher off of him naeus stands up and heads inside to gets what he needs for his plan.
carrying some mattresses and stacking them up on one side of the crackhouse he crosses the street and yells out into the house seeing no ones home sets the house on fire drawing the attention of the munchers.
he runs back across the street and motions for the cop lady to jump down on the mattresses.
...
the cop lady's name was Olivia kestali she and her partner responded to a call last night one of the neighbors said they saw someone break in the front door when they got there her partner officer lonny gadith tried to pull a guy who was biting someone off but the guy he bit started jerking around and latched on to her partner ripping his throat out she thought he was dead but after jerking around like the dude who bit him he slowly got back up and came towards her and she turned to run out the door but found her path blocked by multiple munchers she ran upstairs and climbed out a window looking down she saw people running from the shambling munchers and a whole bunch of them were swarming her car.
knowing she was trapped Olivia sat down on the roof with tears streaming down her face.
after spending the night on the rooftop and seeing many people get turned by the munchers she thought about turning her gun on herself but decided against it.
as light started to peak over the horizon she saw the man and the boy and finally felt hope she carefully opened the window back up and went inside to get something to throw to get their attention.
....
the cop lady jumped down without hesitation
naeus thought he would have to drive Josiahs car himself and didn't know if he could do it but as soon as the cop walked up he handed her the keys saying u drive. her cop car still had a few munchers shambling around it so she didn't argue and just got in the car.
after telling her where they were going and why naeus dodge and olivia finally made their way to the school as light from the rising sun was poking through the clouds.
....
sherlock woke up to Josiah screaming saying all kinds of hateful things he was tied up in Christmas lights for some reason and he had been flailing around trying to get loose some of the bulbs had broken and were digging into his skin.
get up you useless fucking crackhead wake up why the fuck did I risk my life to save your peice of shit life waste of fucking skin Josiah yelled out at the top of his lungs.
sherlock was called sherlock like a big guy was called tiny meaning he wasnt very smart which was how Josiah liked it, his real name was Kevin hathfuilt and Josiah was all he had his parents were wealthy but had disowned and kicked him out when he was just 14 ever since then he had been with Josiah taking whatever abuse he would dish out because Josiah had taken him in
he wasnt really racist like Josiah but went along with it anyway he had even beat up a homeless old black man cause Josiah told him to.
sherlock slowly got up and walked over to Josiah to untie him all the while listening to Josiahs abuse. with all the racket he was making munchers had started banging against the security gate. Josiah got up and with a smile looked around at all the food thinking that dumbass little stepbrother of mine with get what's coming to him later, right now I got exactly what I wanted this place is mine.
....
part two
becca goes looking for tansy alone in a trash can?
becca spent the night in the crowded kitchen huddled up with principal reiddu and her students.
she was worried about tansy but the principal and her students wouldn't go with her to go look for her they said she's probably dead already.
not knowing what to do she was helping them fortify the kitchen stacking up more tables as barricades when suddenly she had an idea she went to the kitchen and found a big knife. then she went and dumped one of the trashcans into one of the other trashcans and cut out the bottom she had to crouch down but she could move in it just not very fast.
she cut a slot in it about eye level so she could see and it smelled she sprayed her perfume all over the inside.
the students saw what she was doing and laughed at her then principal reiddu saw this and said it was a good idea and had the students follow her lead dumping all the trashcans into bags tieing them and forcing them out the small windows in the cafeteria.
she stationed two of them at the door to the cafeteria and two in front of the kitchen barricades.
becca put her kitchen knife in her backpack and went to find tansy but with the slow pace she had to keep inside the trashcan it would be a long journey.
looking all over the building took forever but there wasn't any sign of tansy she could find and she didn't know where else to look she had already snuck past many groups of munchers but there was still many areas she could not get to cause that area was crowded with many many munchers not just the small groups she had snuck past.
not knowing what else to do she started to head back to the cafeteria when she heard the sound of gunfire from the parking lot and all the munchers rushed toward the sound well as fast as munchers can rush which isn't very fast.
now she could check the only place left to check the principals office she figured the munchers were crowded around for a reason and looking around to make sure there weren't any munchers she got up out of the trashcan and stretched her legs.
she tried the door but it wouldn't budge looking through the little window on the door she couldn't see any thing but books.
she didn't want to knock too loud in case the sound drew in munchers so she tapped on the glass hoping tansy was in there.
....
in the parking lot the doors to the school were crowded with at a large herd of munchers before getting out naeus texted tansy telling her they were in the parking lot and they would be there soon.
with so many munchers they had no choice but to use the guns he gave one of the rifles to Olivia hoping she knew how to use it.
naeus took the two handguns leaving the crossbow and the other rifle telling Olivia to cover them from a distance.
he knew how to shoot cause his uncle Robert had taken him hunting when he was younger before he died.
he wasn't a expert marksman but he had killed a few rabbits and they were harder to hit than deer being smaller faster targets so when he went to shoot he imagined the munchers heads were rabbits this helped him distance himself from the fact they used to be people.
telling dodge to stay close and only use his shotgun if the munchers got close and with oliva covering them from the top of Josiahs car they took out enough munchers to be able to melee the rest and get inside.
unfortunately the doors were locked naeus tried to pry it open with a crowbar but it wouldn't budge so naeus told dodge to blast it with the shotgun and then get back cause there will definitely be munchers on the other side drawn to all the gunfire.
instead of wasting more ammunition then they needed to naeus told dodge to run and get the remote control firetruck while he and oliva held back the munchers with their melee weapons him with his crowbar and oliva with her police baton.
it was doable because there weren't as many as the herd that was blocking the doors and dodge was able to get the firetruck.
as dodge was walking back with the firetruck a muncher came up behind him but fell to the ground with a bolt in its head before he could even try to bite him dodge looked at Olivia who had a big beautiful smile on her face with crossbow in her hand wow she said this thing is more powerful than I thought.
the remaining munchers were easily taken out as they followed the firetruck around in circles.
finally they made their way into the school.
....
tansy woke up when the gunfire in the parking lot went off she went to the window and saw naeus a cop and a little kid fighting munchers she tried to get there attention but they were preoccupied she couldn't even text naeus cause her phone had died and she didn't have her charger .
just then she herd a tapping sound at the door and was scared the munchers were trying to get in again she had tried to move the heavy bookshelf one more time and immediately the munchers banged up against the door with that she didn't try anymore.
but the tapping continued and it was too light to be munchers so she got a chair to stand on and pulled some books out out from in front of the little window on the door.
what she saw lifted her spirits her freind was right there with tears in her eyes she went to find a peice of paper so they could communicate silently.
she wrote I'm so glad to see u I thought I'd be trapped in here with mr doauds body forever. becca got some paper out of her backpack and wrote mr doauds body?the janitor?what happened? tansy wrote telling her freind what had happened and what he did to suzie derunken and how she killed him with her mace and a can of peaches ,she told becca that it was naeus out in the parking lot and he came because she texted him he even gots guns somehow and people with him.
she told becca that she needed to go and lead him to where she was trapped that maybe he could figure out a way to get her out.
with this becca got back in her trashcan and went to find naeus.
thinking shed have to let him in cause of the automatic locks on the door she headed toward the entrance to the parking lot not knowing that naeus and his new friends were already inside.
when she got there the doors were wide open and there was so much blood and guts and body's strewn all over the parking lot that she had to scramble out of her trash bin to avoid throwing up in it.
....
naeus,Olivia and dodge were making their way to the cafeteria thinking that if anybody survived they probably go to where they could find food they were cleaning up munchers along the way with how many they killed it felt like it was easy now distract them with the firetruck robot which naeus had taken to calling captain killbot and they were easy pickings didn't even really put up a fight.
...
dimond was small so he was picked for trashcan sentry duty his nose still hurt his parents promised to get his nose fixed but now he wasn't even sure if they were still alive he was tired of listening to the principal he didn't like it at all and was trying to get the other students to kill her so they wouldn't have to listen to anyone anymore but they wouldn't go for it .
now there was gunfire in the distance and he was scared he just wanted to go home and now he had to stay in a trash bin because of that bitch becca with a cleaver from the kitchen the only thing he had to protect himself it wouldn't do anything against a gun.
the other sentry was a nerdy kid named Matt who every one called pimple paste cause he had a really bad case of acne and someone said he used to eat glue when he was in kindergarten.
dimond didn't think he would be much help but he was all he had so he'd have to do.
hey Mathew do u really want to be here when whoever's got guns gets here? let's go hide somewhere else do u really want to die for all those kids who make fun of your acne?
dimond was the one who started calling him that first but he didn't need to know that.
but Mathew had a huge crush on principal reiddu she was always so nice to him she even had spare clothes for him in her office for when the kids would pour soft drinks and smoothies on his head.
if no one else he wanted to protect principal reiddu so he said no I dont care how they treat me I'm gonna stay right here it's the right thing to do.
fuck u then pimple paste nerdboy bastard dimond said and he got out of his trash bin and went to find some place to hide by himself.
