Zombie Story: Threads of a Tire

I grab some wood and start building as well.

"Yeah, but I got five as it is. I get any more I might have to open my own gunshop."

I see a person running towards us followed by some Zeds. I put a hand on my FN2000.

"Rich, we got some friends coming. Get ready."

I call out.

"Miller! Get past the trench! It's safer on this side!"

(Rich)

=I take out my Deagle and aim=

Gotta love killin these damn things.

=I laugh=

I take my riot shield off and hand it to Rich.

"They get past the trench. Smack them back."

I riase up my FN2k and take aim, looking down the red dot...scope would be the better term.

=I carry on running.=

Get to the other side of the trench... Easy...

(Rich)

=I take the shield=
=Kneeling down and aiming with the Deagle=
=I wait for them to get close before firing a few shots=

=I begin to hear gunshots, I wipe the .44 shells out of my jacket=

I aim at the closest Zed and fire. My aim was a bit off so the round hits its shoulder, spinning it around. It stumbles and falls over but quickly get's back up.

"Dammit."

I fire again, this time hitting it in the neck.

(Rich)

=I aim, fire, hit=
=Fire, Hit=
=Fire, Miss=

Dang.

=They begin to get closer=

Cmon you freaks!

=I feel a tap on my shoulder=
=I turn around. Seeing Ellie=
=Bo had gone out. Attacking the Zeds=

(Ellie)

Hey, bro.

=I take out my Baretta and begin firing=

=I watch their fighting from the sidelines=

Hmm...

"Hey, how well is that dog trained? I don't want to be putting down any zombie dogs, you hear?"

I fire again, taking the right side of a Zeds head off. It falls and trips up one of it's companions.

(Rich)

Perty well trained.
Old huntin dog.
Old killin dog.

=I laugh=

Saved my ass so many times.

(Ellie)

=I laugh as well=

I can imagine.

=I stab some Zeds that come close, but mainly focus on the group=

=I get to the other side of the trench, and reload.=

(Ellie)

=I nudge Rich=

Go up

(Rich)

=I go forward. Bashing any Zed that gets near me=

(Ellie)

=I unsheathe my blades and begin slicing them=

=I begin shooting at the Zed's.=

I really need to find some ammo...

For.. ehh..

=I take out my SL8 and flip it to Semi Auto, taking down Zeds in rapid succession=

(Rich)

=I reload=

This is fun huh, Lee?

(Ellie)

Ive had way more fun!

=I giggle=
=Stabbing and slicing at them=

(Rich and Ellie)

=We both stop in the middle of a group=
=Back to back=
=Bo joins and begins attacking=

Rich-Theyre almost gone!

Ellie-Aww! That means the funll be over!

=I have blood splatter on me=

Ey! Watch it!

(Ellie)

=I sling my blades. Blood flying off of them=
=The last of the Zeds fall=
=I giggle=

Well. Looks like we're done...

(Rich)

=I laugh=

Why yes sis. I think we are as well.

=We go back to Garth who had stopped firing=

Rich-Whoo Wee. Gotta love that.

=I stay silent and take a rag, wiping the blood off me=

=I throw the blood on a cadaver=

Where's the food?

There's food?

=I scratch my helmet.=

(Ellie)

Anything you can find.

=I giggle=

Im sure yall can find somethin

(Rich)

Well. It was nice fightin with yall. I gotta house to help build

=I walk back to the house in progress=
=Calling Lee over to help=

(Rich and Ellie)

=They begin building the frames for the house=

=I find a can of peaches laying on the floor=

Hmm... My lucky day?

=I toss the can in the air and start to head back to the sand pit=

I start helping build.

"So, what do you think you want in the way of furniture? We'll have to either ask around, go scavenging, or wait for a Traveler caravan to stop by again."

(Rich and Ellie)

Rich-Two beds.

Ellie-Maybe a couch.

=I crawl into the sandpit, avoiding detection=

=I open the can of Peaches with my Swiss Army Knife=

=I reload my .44=

I nod and put another piece of wood in place.

"Yeah, we are going to need to scavenge for those. The Travelers don't care much for giving out beds and couches. On the other hand, they can give you just about anything else."

(Rich and Ellie)

=We both laugh=
=Lifting up one wall frame=

"No, I'm serious. They once tried to give us a soda machine, like Coca Cola and Sprite soda machine. It was one of the stranger offers."

I lift up my own wall frame.

=I look to see another patrol of Elites and I scramble to get my rifle, almost dropping my peaches=

...

=I aim down the scope again=

(Rich)

And ya didnt take it?

=I laugh=

I'd have a Coke machine in my own livin room
Hey you wanna drink?
Oh yeah man.
Get me a coke.

(Ellie)

One time pa caught him tryin to steal a few bottles of coke.
Ripped him a new one.

=I laugh=

(Rich)

I learnt to not try and steal coke when pa was around.

=I take a shot at the Elite, the shot goes through his stomach=

"Key words, "when pa was around." And no, instead I got that marvelous trunk you saw in the bedroom. Got a civilian Mini-Uzi in there as well as a sawn off. Plus a few homemade grenades. I'd be happy to give a few away, granted you don't use them on me."

I smile and push the frame into the ground so it stands up.

=I continue eating and head for the people I met earlier=

Ey!

I look at the man from before.

"Yeah?"

=I walk up to him=

Yeah, you know those Elites down there?

=I continue eating my peaches=

"Yeah, what about them?"

=I gesture=

Come with me.

=I begin walking to my "Base camp sand pit"=

I sigh and walk with him.

=I point at the land bridge and the dead bodies on it=

I think if we get enough people, we could take over the land bridge and the Elite land.

=I eat the last peach slice and throw the can on the ground=

What do you think?

"I think that you are a Raider. You are killing humans, not zombies."

No, no, no.

=I look at him=

Those "Elites" are stupid people.

=I look at the land bridge=

They killed some of MY family for ammo and food.

=I begin to reload my .44=

"They have their own food and water and ammo. They make it themselves. So really, you are killing people who have done nothing wrong. Good job."

I let a lot of sarcasm go into that last phrase."

And..?

=I sling the .44=

"And, one of these days, you are going to run out of your ammo and food, and then you will have to steal it from other people, and then you will officially have become a Raider, and be allowed to be shot on sight. So, if I were you, I would worry more about surviving the undead, than being an revenge driven idiot killing the wrong people."

I turn and start walking away.

Hmm..

=I shrug=

What ever suits you, these things have to be dying off sooner or later..

"Just shut up and go back to wherever it is you came from. We don't need anyone making situations worse."

=I chuckle a bit=

First motion carried out.

I walk back to the unfinished house and resume helping work on it.

=It was almost a full day of biking, before I ended up at the last place I wanted to be: a major city. The sign read, Caen. I did not want to go through that. Sure, it could have been a gold mine of supplies, but any city was bound to be swarming with stenches, and that, was a big no for me. I'd have to go around=
