through the air ducts until they came to a
room that had no zombies, seemingly a study room. The three of them
climbed out, and ran down the stairs. They ran out into the streets
and continued searching for a safer place, when thunder began
rumbling overhead again. As rain poured down some more, Drew looked
around and pointed,” there,” Evan looked across the
street and noticed a cellar. The three of them ran over to it and
Drew got out his crow bar, forcing the cellar door to open, and they
ran down in there, barring it shut. Upon going down in the cellar,
they stopped, getting their guns ready, when they realized that down
in the cellar was a few survivors from an orphanage (or group home),
kids ranging in age, and some adults. They looked alarmed.
"Don't
worry, we're not infected," insisted Drew.
The
bus drove on, leaving Ohio behind and coming into Pennsylvania. No
one hardly spoke nor looked at one another. Those left alive now were
only Will, Jeff, Alex, Holly, Avery, Jenny, Keith,and Trevor. Holly
looked from the window toward everyone else, they also looked as
tired as she felt.
Keith
rested his head against the windw, staring out at the scenery,
ignoring everyone else. Alex rubbed his temples before resting his
head against the seat, his arms crossed over as well. Jeff sat alone,
his legs outstretched on the seat. Avery stared down at her wounded
hands, bits of wood still lodged under the skin and dried blood.
Trevor looked out the window before shutting his eyes. And Will
continued staring ahead, under his eyes becoming dark from lack of
rest.
Not far away now, they
could see the Appalachian Mountains as they began to drive through a
town. Passing
by zombies, the group of undead previous townsfolk began chasing the
bus,a few managing to catch onto it. They started to bust the windows
and reached in at them, Jenny screaming out in fear when one grabbed
her hair. She jerked away, falling out of the seat she was in, her
hair messed up in the back. Aggravated that there was no end to this,
Will opened the bus door while still driving and he grabbed Holly by
the arm, keeping one hand on the wheel.
"What
are you doing?!"
"Jump
out and run," he shouted at her. Holly shook her head, afraid to
attempt the jump," Alright," he told her and he shoved the
teen out of the moving bus. Holly, letting out a scream, began to
roll down a hill, trying hard to find something to catch on to so
she'd stop rolling. Jenny went to the front of the bus,"
Jump,"Will told her, turning his hazel eyes toward her. Jenny
nodded and jumped out, also rolling down the hill, hitting her left
leg on a tree. As he looked ahead, he tried to stomp on the break
pedal, but didn't do so in time; the bus crashed into a turned over
semi truck, the bus falling over on its side, making the survivors
fall against the left side as the bus began sliding, crushing the
zombies that had been holding onto the left side of the bus. Once it
became silent after three minutes, Alex struggled to get up and he
looked around, trying to regain his sense of balance. He looked at
the others, seeing Will was now dead, glass shattered into his face
and neck as part of him was now out the windshield. Looking around,
he spotted the machete that Jeff had with him and he picked it up
with the few weapons he found. He looked for any signs of survivors,
but appeared no one else was moving.
He
looked over at Keith, his eyes were shut as blood dripped from his
mouth, a large shard of glass protuding from his stomach, bits of it
also in his face and neck. Alex swallowed, checking Keith's pulse,
but not feeling one. He moved back, smelling the air suddenly, the
smell of gas and smoke. And then he shook Avery instantly, feeling a
pulse.
"Wake
up Avery, we gotta get out of here," he smelled the air once
more," hurry, the bus is going to explode if we don't get out of
here." Avery, weary, finally moving and coughing, pulled the
duffle bag strap up more on her shoulder and he pulled
room that had no zombies, seemingly a study room. The three of them
climbed out, and ran down the stairs. They ran out into the streets
