Chereads / Seen Zone Z / Chapter 10 - Not a dream

Chapter 10 - Not a dream

"Ah Stop! Somebody help us!" I wanted to cry about how my new baby car was being ambushed right now by these crazy people. I used almost my whole life savings just to buy this car and even has a debt to pay right now and now? They are bashing and striking it so much. Ughhh! These ugly people are really getting on my nerves! How dare they hurt my baby!!! But I know, being fume by rage and anger will not solve anything. I need to think about how I will escape from this state!!!

"Ah! Help us!" I even try to call Carlo again but my phone drop dead just before I could tell him my location!

I don't have any fuc****g idea of what happening right now? Are these people belong to some kind of cult! Arghhh! Or maybe I am still dreaming. That's right Liza, this is just a dream.

"Please Let me be awake right now. Please, please, please." I closed my eyes multiple times but whenever I open them, I am still here.

"Liza! What should we do?" Fred is panicking as hell as I am! His body is shivering and you can see from his eyes fear and worry about the situation.

"I don't fuc***g know!" I rub my hair out of frustration. And Tom?

He's awfully quiet now the whole time.

"Tom..." As I look back.

"He passed out!" Fred cried, he is getting also much frustrated right now.

"Oh fuck***g sh*t!" I cursed out loud. I thought that he will be the calmest in this situation since he is a writer of thriller and horror stories! But what the heck?! Why is he is the one who passed out first?! Oh dear Lord! I wanted to cry so bad right now and murder this guy who is now snoring like hell! What passed out! He is just freaking sleeping!

"Aish!" I don't care anymore! Multiple cracks were now forming in the car.

*Bang!*

"Holy mother of strawberries!" I almost jump out of my seat when a black-haired woman just smashes her head right in my side window.

'I am not ugly' The woman kept repeating those words as she smashes her face on the car.

"I know it is depressing to most if you're not gifted with looks! But don't smash your face in others' cars if you're so much disappointed with your face!" I screamed with the top of my lungs

*Clash!*

*Crash!*

"Ahhh!" I turned around to Fred only to see that the back window of my car has finally had a small hole. Many hands are trying to get hold of Fred. They look so desperate to get him!

"Didn't know you have so many crazy fans, Fred!"

"It's not the time to joke around! They really look like zombies! Are we going to get eaten?! Ahhh!" Fred ratted down.

Zombies? My heart began to thump louder! That is the most plausible thing right now. If they get us, we will be eaten! I don't want to die this way! I even have settled in my insurance life plan that when I die, I want to be with a pink coffin and my funeral will be surrounded by lots of flowers!

But before I could react another crashing sound was heard.

*Clash*

I almost yelp out of my mind, when a hand with a very expensive blue pearl bracelet passed in front and almost got to scratch my face!

'Shit that was close! My beautiful face almost got ruined!"

I immediately jump to the right seat.

"Fu**! Fu**!" The side window got punctured too and it's freaking getting bigger. The woman is so dead set entering through there. Shards from the window glass is stuck all over her face.

"Eeeek!" Is she not hurt by that?! I don't know whether to feel pity for this woman, laugh with madness or just cry with this situation! Oh well! If they are already zombies then they are already out of their minds!

"Ah! I didn't sign for any horror movie! Wahhh! Erin! Carlo! Help!" I am already on the verge of my tears. As the woman got nearer and nearer!

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

Multiple gunshots suddenly resounded through the area. And one by one as the gunshots continued to echoed, the crazy people that surrounded the car dropped down.

*Boom!*

Moments later, I heard a loud explosion. And with this, it seems to got the attention of these maniacs and they finally leave the car alone.

Just a few more minutes they are already gone.

The woman too stops moving and drop. Half of her body is hanging on the car window!

Silence...That's what surrounds the whole car. No banging and none of those repeatitive words uttered by those crazy people. And the only thing I could hear is the loud thump from my heart. As if everything that happened felt so surreal.

Every one of them is gone. I am still alive. Those gunshots, did someone save us? Is it the police? Huhuhu! Thank God! If they are really zombies, maybe they are not the police. Maybe some sort of superman, batman, or the Avengers! And now that the world is in chaos, they are revealing themselves to save the world!

To whoever the hero, who save this damsel in distress, I will reward them with my kiss!

"What happened? And you look stupid Liza." The first one to broke the silence is Tom who just wakes up. From his sudden words, I return from my imagination back to reality.

I didn't know what got me but my fist found its way towards his face straight.

"Ouch! Why did you punch me, Liza?" Tom hissed as he rubs his left cheek. "Wait! Am I still dreaming? I have a really bad dream that you become a serial killer Liza, and hunt me to death!" His eyes widen with fear and confusion. A red fist mark is visible on his face, because of how strong I punch his face.

"We almost died, twice in the row idiot! And yeah, you're dream will become a reality soon" I gave him my most creepy smile as I pointed at him then motioned my hands slicing my neck.

*Bang!*

"Ahhhh!"

All of us three screamed at the top of our lungs when we heard someone slam the outside of the car door.

"Stop shouting idiots! Or else, they will come back again."

We all look to each other. That very familiar hateful voice belongs to the only annoying person I know the most.

Without any hesitation, I open the car door. And I'm not mistaken, standing outside is no other than Carlo.

"Carlo!" I don't know what came to me but I felt be relieved seeing him. I run towards him and hug him so tight like we haven't seen each other for years. Him being here, I never felt much more relief and safe being in his company before in my life.

"You're safe now." Hearing those words from him, tears suddenly fell from my eyes.

"Carlo, I thought we are going to die." I kept repeating his name like crazy. I must become nuts after hearing him.

I felt that someone caress my hair but I don't mind it a single bit.

"Carlo! Wahhh! My hero!" I heard Tom's loud voice. Tom opened his arms to show that he wanted to hug Carlo too.

"If you try to hug me. You'll die." Carlo sound coldly.

Tom halt his movements. "Ooohh. So scary." He just hugs himself instead.

"You're still alive my Tom, my loves," Tom said while hugging himself more like crazy.

Hearing that, I release myself from Carlo's embrace.

And burst out laughing.

"Way to ruin the mood brother." Fred also laughs.

And somehow the heavy feelings we felt before gradually diminish a little.

"Let's go. It's not yet safe here."

They all nod with Carlo's words as they head to find a safe place to stay for a while.

"Ah wait before we go," I hurriedly grab my bag and phone from the car. Then I went to the back of the car. 'Oh, thank God, it is not damage." I began getting it out.

"What stupidity are you doing?" I hear Carlo's voice behind me but I just ignore him.

'There! Finished!' I was finally done removing the car plate of my car. "This is for my remembrance of my baby," I said as I put the plate in my backpack.

"You really do, the weirdest thing."

"Whatever, let's go now." I rolled my eyes at him and we began to leave.

*Boogsh*

*Thud*

I immediately kick the door with all the force I got.

As soon as I enter, I drop Mara to the ground and gave her his baby brother.

With no further due, I close the door to block the incoming zombies following after us.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

They continued to hammer the metal door. I put the lock of the door as I continue to lean on it so that the door would not be opened.

After almost a while, the banging and hammerings to the door finally halt.

'It seems they finally left.'

I sigh as I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

But then, I notice the silence that surrounds the air.

That's right the kids, where are they?

I grab my phone out to light the dark place we just entered.

My eyes immediately squirmed to the sight I see.

"Well! Well! Well! Don't look at us like that. You are the one who forcefully trespassed here."

In the middle of the warehouse based on all the huge boxes all over the place is Mara, holding her baby brother.

She was held by a man as a gun is pointed on her head. Behind her are other men that are holding firearms. My eyes become deadly cold seeing the man's face. That very familiar

My eyes become deadly cold seeing the man's face. That very familiar face has a long scar from the right eye down the left cheek.

"It's been a long time Erin," he said with a smirk on his face.
