Chapter four
What the.....
'What should we do Max! 'Cindy, one of the ladies scream with a huge fear
Max regain his composure immediately. Lots of people are counting on him, he can't be acting weak already
'we will leave for the bus immediately! Move it! 'He screams and the men move out after giving the ladies what they've taken. When the demons sighted them, they moved away from the bus toward them, 'Shoot them! 'Max screams from the shop and quickly takes some milk before rushing out of the mart.
They all started getting in but the demons were getting closer. To whirl away time, Max threw the milk and his backpack at the man beside him and started to shoot at the demons that were getting too close.
When they've all entered, Max turns to enter the bus but a demon holds onto his arm and his head moves forward to his shoulder but a gunshot saves him. Without waste of time, he hurries in and shuts the door.
Everyone was breathing heavily.
Max looked around at the person that fired the last shot but he grew more confused. He then decided to ask, 'Who shot the gun? '
'i did, 'a tiny but thick voice said. John walks out from behind the bus. Seems he opened the window in the backseat to shoot the demon.
Max couldn't contain his joy. He moves nearer to him and smiles, 'Thank you so much
John smiled, 'I've just repaid my debt. Did you save my life? '
Max smiles wildly, 'then that means I am owning you one', he doesn't believe the kid he rescued earlier would now be the person to save him. All thanks go to Jessica. It's just painful she's no more
'What do we do, they are going to pull us over if they all get here! 'a man screams as he looks at the thousand of demons running toward them
Max stands, 'Drive! '
The driver looked back urgently, 'But we couldn't get much fuel the other time! 'he protested
'We are all going to die if we don't move now. Drive! 'Max scream and the driver took on the ignition immediately
The demons run behind them for a while before stopping.
Everyone heaves a relief sigh at the same time.
'There's a thick bush closer. We should be able to park there and sleep for the night, 'Max says and sit.
Then they start distributing the food. Everyone ate in silence except for Mary and John whose gist lasted for hours till they park the bus
Some people needed to ease themselves. Max decided to be among the men to safeguard them.
Everyone that has a business to do was made to get down. Mary and John also got down.
Max moved closer to John as they were about to leave, 'Who taught you how to shoot? '
'I play video games a lot, 'he smile, 'but that was the first time of holding a real gun'
Max smile and patted his hair slightly, then he brings out a revolver and stretch it out, 'Protect your grandma and your friend for me'
'Gladly sir, 'he smiled and saluted playfully.
Mary move nearer, 'Dad, I want a gun too'
'You don't know how to use a gun, 'Max corrected playfully
'But John doesn't know how too'
'But he saved me
'And dad, I could learn it'
Max laugh, 'And Mary, there's no time'
John laughs and follows the group of people down the bush area with his grandma.
🕸️🕸️
There were only four people on the bus, two women and two men. The two women were talking about the incident while a man was eating, and the other man was just looking through the window at the thick bushes.
For a moment, he looked around him and realized no one was watching him. Then he pulls up the collar of his shirt to view the teeth mark there.
The pains were getting unbearable for him but he was not ready to tell Max he got bitten in the mart. If he did, he would have been ostracized.
But as time flies by, the pains increase. Even now, what he feels is more than what he could say.
'Hey, are you alright? the other man asked as he was already standing so close to him. The man turned to look at him and the other man jerked back in fear, 'What happened to your face? '
The other ladies got alerted and looked up but it was too late. The man got up quickly and bit the other man by the neck. He screams and struggles to let go.
The women scream too just as the demon lets go of the man and turn toward the direction of the women.
It was so quick... They couldn't react or do anything
'Are they all done? ', Max ask Peter and he nodded, 'Then let's head back to the bus quickly. We don't know if there are any demons around here
A gunshot!
'What's that? 'everyone rushes together
Another gunshot!
What the...
'Max! 'steven rushes toward him, 'i think something is happening in the bus.
'We need to go and check, 'peter interceded
Max looked over at the people all gathered together, 'You need to stay together, we will need to check on some things and we will be back, 'Max says
'Dad, am scared, 'Mary shiver
John pulled her closer, 'Don't worry, I will protect you and grandma'
Max smile and look up at steven, 'Stay with them with the other men while I and Peter go check what's happening on the bus'
'Alright, 'He nodded and made the people sit down together while he and three more men stood up around them carrying a gun.
Max and Peter rush toward the bus
Another gunshot!
What's ng
Everywhere was quiet when they got to the bus. Max moves nearer and opens the door slightly, the first thing he sees was blood.
'Don't, it's a mess, 'a deep voice warned. Max opens the door wildly and looks up at the guy on the bus. He looks ok
'What happened here? '
'One of your men got bitten, I think it was when we parked at the mart'
