(Laff POV)

It's been a whole day now, and we're still on the run, no matter where we go there's too many zombies, and everyone is exhausted, the longest break we've had is 30 minutes. We have rotated carrying Oompa, muffin and I are carrying him as Nadwe is searching some cars to see if any have fuel, but no luck. "Any luck nadwe?" I ask him as he nods his head no. We then keep on moving until we reach a familiar place. Sock's house. "Nadwe help muffin carry Oompa, I'm gonna make sure this place is safe" I say as Nadwe nods grabbing Oompa.

I slowly walk into the house, opening the door slowly. I don't hear anything. I walk around checking rooms, and to our luck no one's in here. "It's clear" I whisper out the door as they carry Oompa in. I lock the door as they set Oompa onto the couch. "I'm so tired" muffin says as he's about to sit down. "Wait muffin we should barricade this place up quickly" I say as he groans tiredly, before getting back up. We grab bookshelves and chairs and board the house up to the best of our ability. "Can I finally sit down now?" Muffin asks and I nod, he doesn't sit beside Oompa as he's now laying down on the couch, but on another chair.

I look over to Nadwe, the circles under his eyes are massive, this is clearly taken a huge toal on him. "Nadwe you can go rest too, I'll keep watch first" he slowly nods before lining up some dining room chairs and laying down. I look over to see both muffin and Oompa dead asleep. I grab my weapon and keep an eye on the windows. Once I see there's no zombies I check around for stuff, of course there's not much besides rotten food or empty cans. I sigh lightly before grabbing a chair and sitting down near the windows, getting ready for a long night.

(Socks POV)

I wake up, I'm extremely cold and my body hurts from fatigue. I look around at the carpet store. Just really dusty carpets. The power is flickering on and off, whatever generator they were using must be running out. I look over to see ally still asleep, she's laid against some of the shelves. I look at the metal door locking us in. It sounds quiet out there, but I don't dare check. I get up, wincing as my body roars in pain. I limp around looking for anything, but there's nothing useful, I sigh quietly, ultimately I slightly lift up the metal door, grabbing a carpet and folding it up to hold it open slightly. There's still zombies. But not as much as before.

I leave it slightly open. I look back at ally, she's still sleeping. I sigh and go behind the counter looking for anything, but no it's all been looted. I sit down, i decide to wait for ally to wake up before I decide to do something.

(Jooice POV)

I lay in the car, not making a movement or sound. I have no clue how long it's been or if anyone is alive. All i know is I'm in the car, and I'm covered in blankets. My wounds hurt a lot as my bandages are now dirty. But I do not dare change them. I can't sleep anymore as I lightly lift up the blankets, there's zombies, but none are close enough to see me. I move the blankets slowly, as I look down at my wounds, the bandages are very dirty. I peel them off looking at my wounds. I don't think they are infected as I tear up some clothes and tie them around them.

I look to see most of the zombies going to a different area, as I slightly hear music. I slowly posture up, I don't want to leave the car yet, atleast until I can move. Some zombies do stay, but not close to the horde I saw. I look at the entrance of the mall, but decide to lay back down and wait until I'm tired enough to fall asleep.

(Ally POV)

I slowly wake up, my body sore from all the fighting and running. I look over to see socks sitting there, he seems to be very lost in thought. I tap his shoulder lightly as he flinches. "Calm down, it's just me" I say to reassure him as he calms down. "Sorry, I was very lost in thought" he replied. "That's fine, how are we going to get out of here?" I ask him as he looks at the gate. "There's still zombies out there. Not as much though." He says looking back at me. I nod taking in this information. "Did you ever check up there?" I ask him pointing up to the roof. He shakes his head no.

"Even if we wanted too, we can't" he said as I looked at him confused. "There's meant to be a ladder here to climb, but it seems it's gone" he replies to my look. I think for a minute. "What if I climb onto your shoulders? I should be able to get up there." I say to him as he thinks. "We don't got any better idea." He gets up and I get up too. I climb onto his shoulders and stand up. Socks groans in pain as I barely push open the cover and grab on and slowly pull myself up.

I fully climbed up into the emergency room to see no zombies in it. I sigh in relief as I look out the door. Only 2 zombies upstairs. I look back down to socks. "I'll bring a ladder or something for you to climb" I whisper to him as he nods. I slowly open the door and walk out. I try to be as stealthy as I can be. I walk around. Since we activated lockdown, most of the stores are closed. Execpt one that's open because a zombie stopped it from closing. I crawl under the door, after struggling for a minute I get through. I see that this was some kind of kids store.

I look around the kids store. Seeing old toys. Nothing useful, until I see a back door. I try to open it but it's locked. I grab my hair pin and try lockpick it. It takes me a while but I unlock it. I see some leftover supplies. I grab my bag and load it with extra food and water, and medical supplies. As I find a bunch of ladders on the floor. This must've been where they hid all the ladders. I pick up the ladder but accidentally drop it. Making a huge noise attracting all the zombies towards me. I run into the emergency room falling back into the carpet store, landing awkwardly on my ankle.

(Socks POV)
All I heard was a metal crash and 10 seconds later Ally fell and landed on her ankle. I pick her up. "What happened?" I ask as she leans against the counter. "I dropped it, all of the zombies are distracted we can leave." She says but I look at her ankle. "Can you walk even?" I ask her as she looks uncertain. "You'll have to help me" she says as I go and fully open the door, seeing all the zombies upstairs. I put ally's arm around my neck and help her walk as the zombies walk towards us.

We burst out the doors, seeing zombies but we hurried to the car, it was unlocked. I help ally into the passenger seat as I slam the door shut. "Do you have the keys!?" I ask her as she nods her head no. I look at the ignition, the keys are already in. I start the car and speed off.

After an hour we make it back to the hardware store, the power off and some windows are broken. I look over to ally, she's asleep. I decide to go check the back of the car. I leave the car opening up the back of I see dirty bandages and some ammo, I grab the ammo and notice a blanket covering something. And that something was moving and breathing slowly. I quickly rip off the blanket to reveal joocie.

Joocie POV)

I screamed when the blanket was pulled off only to see socks. "Socks!?" I say my heart racing. "Joocie!? I didn't know you were in the car!" He looks at me, Ally stumbles out holding the side of the car. "What is it?" She asks walking to the back. "Joocie was in the trunk the whole time" he says to her as I try to get out but my leg is still screwed. "Here joocie let me help you" socks said grabbing my arm and helping me out. "You two watch eachother, I'll go in and make sure it's safe." He said grabbing his axe.

He went in and after 10 minutes walked back out. "It's clear, but the generator is broken, looks like it exploded." He said walking over to me. "Ally can you walk well enough?" He asked as she nodded her head no. "Here take my axe"
He hands it to her and she uses it to walk awkwardly into the building.

Tbvg POV)

I woke up very fatigued as I lay down staring the remaining coals from my fire last night. I don't dare move as my body hurts too much. I look at the cracked mirror and decide to get up. "I need to find my way back" i mutter to myself. I slowly pick myself up. I slowly open the bathroom door. No zombies. I leave the store. The streets are abandoned, and I see strays of zombies. None notice me though. I have zero clue where I am, and my keys are gone since I gave them to Joocie. I look at the cars, none are salvageable. I keep walking around when my heart sinks. I hear the sound of a truck. I turn around and see 4 people in a truck speeding down the road. I start running.

I run as fast as I can but the truck follows. I look back and see they are very close. I keep running and running until I get hit. I fly off the road and land onto the hard concrete. Everything hurts badly. I can't move as I see the 4 man walk over. One of them being wolf. "Well, tbvg. It's sure a shame that you were on the road." He says to me as I stare at him angrily. They search my body grabbing everything of mine. Wolf smiles looking at the radio. "Now should we bring him with us?" Wolf asks the other 3 as zombies growl approaching. They don't react. "Well tbvg, I'm sorry but this seems to be the end of the line for you." He says before walking into his truck.

(Third person POV also death warning)

The 4 drive off as tbvg try's to climb onto his feet, but he can't as he falls back over. The horde of zombies approach him, as tbvg try's to crawl away. But unfortunately he wasn't fast enough as a zombie would grab onto his leg and bite into it. Slowly more and more zombies would grab onto him and would tear him apart. This would mark the end of tbvgs journey.

Blaza POV)

Me and oof would stare at the setting sun. "Oof we can't stay here forever" i tell him, we had been hiding in an corner strip mall on a busy street. It was big and easy to hide in. We were currently on the roof sitting by a fire. "Well, it's not safe to leave right now." Oof said. He was ride there was a lot of zombies, and wolfs men had been looking for us. I sit there messing with the radio. So far no one has come through. I sigh leaning back. "How long do you think they will be searching for?" I ask as oof looks at the road. "Who knows. They are obviously trying to find something."

I look at the fire. "Are we.... The only ones left?" I ask him. "No, definitely not. Joocie was in one of the cars, and laff, muffin, Oompa,
and Nadwe had definitely found a way out. I don't know about socks, Ally, or tbvg." He sighs out as I look at him. "Hey they are all pretty tough, they most likely made through it" I say as he nods. We hear a truck engine running as we take cover. We see a truck speed by. "Was that wolf?" I ask him as he nods. "What happened to his bumper? It's crushed and covered in blood." He says as I shrug.

"We should put out this fire and hide for the night." Oof says as I nod, wasting some precious water to put it out. "Let's head in its cold." I say as he nods following behind me as we walk in. Locking the door to the roof behind us.
