Going into the back wasnt such a great idea, he was alone and had no back up. There was Marcus, but he was looking after the other guys. It wasnt like Marcus could do anything. What was Marcus gonna do? Flap his wings and scare the creatures away? Maybe if he was as big as an eagle or a moose, that might work. Now the back of the store was creepy. You didnt know how creepy a store was when it was nearly empty and you ventured into a dark and scary area. That is where he was, he was just about to push open the double swinging doors that lead out to the gardening area. This is where all the plants and plant food would be. Some of the plant food could be used to make explosives. Well, he thought he read that somewhere. Damian wasnt too sure right now. He didnt know what he was going to find when he walked through those doors. He held his sawed off shot gun out in front of him as steady as he could. For the first time he was shaking, he was scared. He knew he could do this and defend himself and the people inside of this store. That was his job right now and he took a big deep breathe and closed his eyes. "You can do this." For once his voice was the only voice he could hear, he had a voice in his head that was telling him that he was crazy as shit.
He approached the double swinging doors and kicked them open and than entered the garden area. With his shot gun out in front of him, he sweeped the area. It was dimly lit. He could see a few things, he could see the outlines of a few giant clay pots and he assumed there were some plants in them. He could hear something chomping, biting, but not on anything. It sounded like a dog biting, trying to be scary. Maybe it was another one of those demon dogs trying to be scary and scare him away. It could be something else. Giant mutated rats? Maybe a giant killer llama. Yeah, a llama. He was losing his fucking mind. What would a giant llama do? Lick you to death? He did feel like something was watching him. Hell, he got that feeling from everywhere in the city.
Damian growled. "Whomever is watching me, show yourself!" This probably wasnt a great idea. Calling out something that could be potentially dangerous. He wasnt smart at times and then he heard something crash behind him. He spun around at the speed of light and then looked on the ground and it was a broken clay pot. Then he saw it. A giant venus fly trap was running towards him. A plant.. was..running.. at him.. That was it. Hes seen it all and he then aimed his shot gun at the venus fly trap. "Great, now we got piranha plants from Mario here too." Just as he said that the venus fly trap started spitting acid at Damian. Damian jumped back a few feet and the acid burned a hole in the floor.

Amelia was still sitting on her bike and she looked was looking at the store and it looked like that black swarm was inside of the store. She was still curious about what it was, it looked like it was blocking the entrance to the store. There had to be another way in. A back door perhaps. She knew there was a gardening area and the gardening area lead into the store. That was it! She just needed to find the gardening area. It had to be close. She felt like it would be okay to leave her motorcycle here, not like anyone around that was going to steal it and she noticed two other vehicles in the parking lot. So there were people in the store. She just didnt know what they were doing in there. Only one way to find out and for shits and giggles she dug out her cell phone and unlocked it and looked down at it. Still no service, probably will never be any service for cell phones ever again. She didnt know how she was going to communicate with people over long distances now. Someone would have to build a cell tower or something. Would that even be possible? Everything is possible with the right motivation. She had her crossbow sitting on her lap and her quiver was still on her back and she grabbed her crossbow and loaded it. Better safe than sorry.
Amelia laughed. "Never thought Id have to load and carry one of these things before going into an Wal-Mart." It was kinda funny and sad at the sametime. She got off of her motorcycle and then walked towards the store. She avoided the front door and walked around the back, she saw a giant Wal-Mart tractor trailer truck. She wondered if there was anything in it. She would check that out later and then she came to the outside gate that lead into the gardening area of the store. It looked like the gate had been ripped completely off. Whatever had done that had to be strong, like pissed off Incredible Hulk strong. She didnt like this feeling and she walked into the gardening area and it was dimly lit. She saw something move in the darkness, she didnt know what it was. Could it be another person or another creature? She held her crossbow out in front of her. She didnt want to accidentally hit another person, she didnt know first aid and there probably werent any hospitals staffed with people. So she had to be cautious. She had the idea about yelling out. If it was a creature, she didnt want to draw attention to herself. What should she do? She pressed her lips together and she watched whatever it was. She watched another thing move in the darkness.
Amelia pointed her crossbow at the movements. "What the fuck are you?"
