Kyle parked the military vehicle at the entrance of the school as he waited for the rest to catch up with him.
"Where are they?" Kyle said as he tapped the steering wheel impatiently.
"I just hope nothing bad happens to them."
"....But what if they were bitten or killed by the zombies? I have the right to move on without them right?"
"Yeah, if they are no more than there's no point in waiting." Kyle said as he stretched his hands towards the car's ignition.
"But what if they're still alive, I can't leave without them." Kyle said retracting his hands
"I'll just wait a little while, maybe they're facing a little problem and just need time to get here."
"Please be safe... Wherever you guys are."

Inside a small tent in the middle of the military camp.
"What are we going to do now Claire, the zombies are everywhere. " Alice said to Claire in a very low tone
"I don't know, maybe if we wait for a little while, someone will save us, maybe the military will come for us, all we have to do is stay in here quietly. " Claire said
"Claire, the military has been wiped out by the zombies, even if a few of them are still alive, why would they be worried about us, they would be more concerned with themselves after all no one wants to die." Alice said
"You're right...what are we going to do now? " Claire asked
"We can't stay here much longer, the zombies will eventually find us." Alice said with fear
"Should we make a run for it?" Claire asked
"W-what! Run? Are you out of your mind?" Alice said
"It's the only option we have. " Claire said
"Even if we did go with your plan, where would we run to?" Alice asked
"I don't know, but anywhere is better than this school."
"But..."
"Alice, we have to do this, even if we die at least we know we went out trying." Claire said
"B-but... ok." Alice nodded in agreement
"Okay, we'll go on the count of five. 1... 2..."
"What? now? Give me some time to prepare." Alice said
"3... 4..."
"Wait Claire, wait!" Alice said with her eyes closed and immediately Claire stopped counting.
"Alice, we have to do this, we can't always cower in fear and expect others to save us, it's either now or never." Claire said
"Yeah, but you didn't say anything when you were hiding in the girls bathroom." Alice teased
"But at least I'm over it now. I don't know what caused this apocalypse or when it's going to end but one thing I do know is that we can't keep on hiding forever, we have to face our problems head on." Claire said
"....Ok, but you'll have to start all over, you know just to boost me."
"Ok, I'll start now. 1... 2...3..."
"Oh God I can't believe we're actually doing this." Alice said
"4... 5, now Alice!" With that, the two girls jumped out of the little tent, both of them were screaming loudly while running
"Ahhhh!!"

"Mark watch out!" Stacy shouted pointing at a zombie behind Mark that was ready to pounce on him.
Mark who was caught off guard lost his balance falling to floor.
*swish!*
Immediately an ice arrow pierced the zombie's head making it stagger backwards.
Seeing the opportunity, Mark immediately used his dagger to decapitate the zombie in front of him.
"Thanks." Mark said as both him and the unfamiliar person walked up to us.
"Mark! You're okay." Stacy said as she approached him
"who's the new guy?" John asked pointing to the new boy in the military uniform which looked our age. He had brown short spiky hair, black eyes and a muscular build.
"I'm Chase." He responded
"I don't seem to remember you, are you one of the new recruits?" Stacy asked
"Yes, I joined recently before the apocalypse started." Chase said with a smile.
"He seems too young to be in the military. " I said
"How old are you?" I asked out of curiosity
"I'm 18 and..."
"Enough with the introduction already, Kyle would be probably waiting for us right now." Mark said interrupting Chase
"Kyle's alive?" Sophie asked
"Yeah, we met earlier and I told him to get a car ready and wait for me at the school's gate, he'd probably be there now... if he's still alive." Mark said
"Then what are we waiting for let's go."
* * * *
After walking for a little while, avoiding as many zombies as we could and also decapitating the ones thAt noticed us, we finally got to the school's gate where a military car was parked, it seemed to be bulletproof and standing right beside it was Kyle
"Where have you guys been, I've been waiting here for hours now."
"we had a little problem on our hands." Mark said
"How did you find them?" Kyle asked pointing towards us
"Found them? They found us." Mark replied
"Nice choice Kyle, where did you get this bad boy?" John asked as he touched the vehicle
"I got it on my way here, it's probably one of thevehicles brought by the military." Kyle said with a smile
"You have good eyes, also I'm driving." John said pointing at himself
"You wish, this is my baby now."
"Boys are strange." Sophie said
"Let's go already, we don't know what dangerous creatures lurks in the night." Mark said
"Hop in everyone.... wait, where's Ben?" Kyle asked
"B-Ben? He was- he was...." Stacy tried to explain but the words wouldn't come out
"Actually Ben's dead Kyle." John said finally letting the cat out of the bag
"W-what! But how did that happen?" Kyle asked again
"I-I killed him." John said
"You did what! How could you!" Kyle said lifting John by the collar
"How could you do such a thing!" Kyle said angrily as he punched John in his chin
The fist collided with John's face but since John was currently stronger than Kyle, the attack had no effect
"Wait Kyle....." Stacy tried to speak but John interrupted her
"No Stacy, let him."
"Why did you do it John why!" Kyle said angrily as he kicked John in his but
"Arghhh!!" John let out a pain filled scream while staggering backwards.
Although John could not be harmed by Kyle's fist, no man can escape his weak point.
