Chapter 38 - Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apoc (Part 14)

(A/N with this chapter I've managed to find enough scene's to surpass World War Z's, my longest movie yet. I know I'm just getting started but still, didn't think Scout's would give me enough to beat world war Z. Still, I hope everyone is enjoying my little fun story as it goes on. As I've said before I'm going to do some Anime worlds after Zombieland to give them a power boost when they head to more supernatural worlds. I just wanted to know if anyone has any preferences they would like to see them go to? know that I'll be handling those worlds episodically and without an encyclopedic knowledge base that other fanfic writers have. I'll study before I wright but I'm sure I'll mess up when I wright about those worlds. Still, let me know if you have an anime you think will be fun, and think of a few as I've got some ideas in my head. Right now I've got Naruto and One piece on my mind but only because those are the most established. Thanks for reading and Leave a review if you like, but don't feel pressured as I'm just glad people are finding my story fun!")

When Logan Hopped the fence he was covered in both blood and guts taking deep and long breaths as he was finally coming out of his psychotic break. Everyone looked on with a hint of fear as the man still seemed out of it making it hard for them to understand what to do about the situation. That was when he finally looked at everyone and caused a visible step back from the group and not a few shakes as Logan held up one finger. 

"I'm going to ask one question, and you all are going to answer it correctly" He said with a finality that had them all nodding. "What happened thirty minutes ago?" he asked everyone. The question had everyone looking at one another as they thought about how to answer that. The silence held for a solid minute before Ben, being the brave boy he was, broke it with trembling words. 

"You," Ben started and everyone looked at him before he gulped and continued. "That is to say that I, when jumping from the trampoline, dropped Kendall's diary in the hoard of zombies. You risked your life to go get it so we could save everyone" Ben said as he held up the sparkly red book with a shaky hand. Immediately everyone started to nod and confirm what the scout had said and Logan watched them before nodding. 

"Right, that's exactly what happened" Logan smiled while still holding a crazed look. Then he looked at Akane and narrowed those eyes. "Akane?" he asked and she immediately held up the phone to show the video that she took of Ben's situation. With a swift tap she hit delete and showed that no evidence existed.

"Permanently gone" she said, for once showing a completely submissive nature to Logan. She had never seen him as angry as he was now. The worst was when they were in an underground fight club. During one of Logan's matches his opponent grappled in a way that allowed the man to say something to him without anyone hearing. Whatever it was Akane never knew as he refused to say, but after those words she saw his expression grow into an ice cold and deadly nature before he turned the man into a vegetable for the rest of his life. Had to lay low for a while after that as the club was closed while the cops tried to find Logan after the man's family pressed charges for their son's condition. 

This though, this was genuine rage that she was known for. It was good to know that humiliation of such a degree would cause this in her husband for their future adventures. He, and most after meeting her knew her triggers by heart given her own nature. To know one of Logan's finally gave her a sense of calm she didn't know she needed. 

"Good, thank you" Logan said, taking a final breath and calming enough to return to his domineering yet subdued nature. This had everyone else take a breath they didn't even know they were holding as Leah started to move the plot along.

"So where did you find the diary?" she asked knowing full well where it was. 

"Underwear drawer" Ben answered. 

"Classic" Carter said with a quick nod still flicking his eyes at Logan before looking back to ben. "Anyway, let's cut through Miss Fielder's place to get back on the road and dodge any zombies you, uh, missed Logan." Everyone nodded and quickly followed Carter over to his neighbor's house. As they moved Logan handed Leah her Tomahawk with a frown. 

"Sorry, but It's a little blood soaked" he said and she shook her head.

"It's fine, you needed to get that anger out, and by the end of the night it was likely to get that bad anyway" Leah said. 

"Not to bring back that rage but~" Akane said next to the two. "Do you think you could channel that in the sheets the next time we get the chance? I've never felt so submissive to you before, baby. I'd like to know what that kind of sex is like for once" Akane said. Logan snorted as he shook his head. 

"Don't know, but for you I'll try to find that headspace again if I can," Logan said, making Akane smile sweetly before they finally made it to Miss Fielder's backdoor. Walking inside they found with a dead switch that the power was completely out for either the women's home, or just this area of the house. They weren't about to check the breaker box to find out so Ben, seeing a flash light near the door on a counter, grabbed it and started to look around. nothing looked out of place as his light beam flicked around, though there were quite a few scratching posts and litter boxes around. 

"Alright, looks pretty quiet and safe" Ben said and started to move through the house with everyone else following behind. Their eyes were on a swivel though as a dead could shatter through a window again in heartbeat if they weren't careful. They made it to the front door and Carter took a peek outside. 

"Shit, there fucking everywhere out there, I think Logan's rampage got the whole neighborhood stirred up" Carter said before closing the curtains and walking back to the group. "I think Miss Fielder's car has been in her garage since this morning. That could be our way out?" Ben nodded and Carter started to lead them to the garage from his memory of the house's outside layout. Everything was still quiet as they slowly walked silently through the house, making it to the kitchen and living room easily enough. It was then though that they finally heard a noise and shifted to look left and right. The pitter patter of pawed feet sounded out everytime they shifted their focus in the opposite direction. 

"Umm guys, do we know if animals can become zombies?" Augie questioned as he recalled all those Scratching posts. Ben flicked his light to look at Augie in question but then froze. Everyone else did as well while they were watching him. "What?" Augie asked and Ben held up a hand. 

"Augie, Don't move" Ben commanded as everyone saw the paw slowly rising from Augie's back. The boy started to shake and slowly look to his left and saw the bloody eared cat on his shoulder. 

"MROW!" the cat growled out as it then hissed the air in hunger. Augie screamed as he started to spin to get the cat off. Missy, seeing him in distress, looked around and found pans hanging from the island. Grabbing the one that read cast iron on its handle, she raised it and timed her strike. 

"Augie freeze!" She shouted and Augie did as commanded. When he stopped, the cat, still gripping the scout's uniform, was perfectly lined up as Missy swung and sent the thing into a dark corner of the room. 

"Oh god, oh god, oh god" Augie said, shaking and brushing himself off, still feeling the dead fur on his body. Missy dropped the pan and held the scout. 

"It's okay, it's fine, it's gone" she said trying to calm him down. Logan, Akane, and Leah all looked at the affection that Missy was giving the redhead and collectively cocked their heads to the side in question at the developing relationship. 

"Oh, shit" Denise said and then everyone looked at the dark corner that she was locked in on. The same dark corner as were the cat was flung. It didn't take long to see the problem as soon one, two, three, five, and then ten sets of sickly yellow eyes shined in the night air. 

"That's a lot of dead Pussy" Akane said as she started to inch for the garage door. She was willing to fight a lot of things, but dead cat's with just a knife or handgun? No, that was both annoying and likely to end up with her own knife cutting herself when they all started to pile on and claw at her. Everyone took her lead and as soon as the eyes started to run toward them, they all ran for the garage with abandon. They made it in the nick of time as Augie shut the door and saw way too many dead paws under the frame trying to get to them. 

"Oh fuck!" the scout said as Akane reached for the keys, but was beaten by Logan this time. She gave him a pout but his no nonsense expression just made her sigh and run to the car. Getting in with Logan at the wheel, the others started to shout to get the hell out of here. and Logan was willing to oblige. 

"The Garage door" Denise shouted but when Logan pressed the button found it dead as well. Grabbing the stick he clicked it into reverse while fixing the mirror. 

"Not working, Guess we do this the fun way" he said as he hit the gas and rammed the car into the garage door.

He was back, He didn't know how but he was back. He was also better than ever as he stumbled around this suburban neighborhood road. He knew what a suburb was!, and even parts of what this parallel self was before he died. He was an accountant, he had a daughter and wife who were thankfully out of town when all this happened, and he had a hobby of bird watching. 

"Ted...Like birds?" he asked himself, finding his vocal cords fresh and willing to allow for complex speech. "Yes...Ted likes pretty birds" Ted smiled as he stumbled down the road. He didn't know how he was given this second chance but he wasn't going to waste it as he walked slowly thinking of the first thing he was going to do. He was hungry of course but knew that the hunger would never go away. He remembered eating and never feeling full in the other world before he was killed by that bus. "Bus, baaaad. Watch both ways next time" he said with a nod as he checked the road for any moving cars. All he found were other dead and that made Ted feel safe. 

So, knowing that his hunger would be with him forever, Ted decided to try and find a pretty bird to watch instead. This of course was hard in the night but Ted wasn't in a rush as he looked up at the tree's. "AUGH!" Ted shouted after not a few more feet down the road he saw a very pretty pink bird in the yard of a neighbor. with glee Ted stumbled until he was close enough to see the bird better. He knew what it was he thought as he racked his slowly growing brain cells. 

"Fla-flamingo" he growled out with a toothy smile. "Such a pretty bir-" was the last thing said as the neighbors garage was broken down by a reversing car, and slammed into Ted hard enough to send him into the ground. It would seem that Ted had stopped right in front of the driveway to the house, and thus in the path of Logan's "borrowed" ride. Logan didn't stop when he hit Ted and soon fully rolled over him to crush his head, killing him once again, without even realizing it. 

"Okay, what's the plan Ben?" Logan asked as he got the group moving down the road and away from the suburbs.
