"Oh lord That's a big ass thing!" Ellis screamed at the top of his lungs
"Just keep running!" I yelled back to him with nick leaning on my shoulder as we ran. The tank that was hunting us roared as load as it could.
"We've been running forever!" Coach yelled "we need to find somewhere to hold out!"
"Like where?!" Rochelle asks whilst taking shots at the tank.
"There!" I yelled, pointing forward to a safe room.
"Quick! Everyone inside!" Nick yelled
We all ran into the safe room and blocked the door so the tank couldn't get in
"Holy, shit! That was too close" I sighed in relief whilst panting
"I can't believe we actually made it" coach smiled
"Yeah, speak for yourself! My leg is fucked!" nick spoke up
"There is always one person who has to see something wrong with everything" ellis sighed "guess we know our person" he laughed
"This isn't a joke! Ellis! That tank is going to wait for us for a long time, hell, we'll be waiting for hours, maybe even days! And we don't have hours OR days! We're low on food and ammo we need to find a way out and soon" nick replied in a serious tone "Rochelle any luck on that door?" He turned to Rochelle who was looking at the other safe room door across the room,
"Well..." she turned to us "the door leads to a street that has a grocery store full of supplies"
"How do you know?" I ask
"Look" she motioned for me to come over, I walked to her and looked through the door
"The streets are empty and the store has big glass doors and windows, you can see into it perfectly!" She continued
"Great! So what's stopping us?" Nick asks
"Er well" Rochelle stood up straight and faced the group "the door is jammed, it won't budge and it's different from the original safe room doors we have" she lightly shook her head
I pulled out my pistol and shot the door at the lock, I pushed on the door but it still wouldn't move
"Well it's not planning to budge any time soon" I say
*BANG* the safe door behind us that was barricaded erupted with a massive bang
"Shit, I forgot the tank was still out there, I shouldn't have shot, sorry" I scratch the back of my head
Coach sighed "well... we're stuck here, what are we gonna do for food?"
I walked over to my backpack that rested on a table next to some health kits, I took a hold of it in one hand and undid the zip and looked at the food inside...
I sighed
"Y/n? What's wrong? How's the food looking?" Ellis asks
"It's not looking good... by the looks of it, one of us will have to go without tonight" I stated whilst pulling the only food we had left out of my bag, I held the food in my hands and I turned to my people
"I'll go without tonight" i suggested
"Nuh-uh. Noo way" Ellis replied
" well one of us has to so I might as well go without, you guys need it more than I do" I stated
"Or we can try get into that store" Ellis suggested
"How dumbass?! The door is jammed" nick replied
"Back out the way we came!" I spoke brightly as the idea came to my head
"Er say what now?!" Rochelle was shocked
"Girl you can't be serious!" Coach faced me
"I can go out the back and get to the store and bring the supplies back here, we can stay here for a few days"
"But the tank-"
"I know about the tank, but I can lead it away! I have a pretty secure plan, coach, pass me that air horn" I commanded
"here"
I took it thankfully out of his hands and put it in my hoodie pocket,
"no matter what happens, no matter what you hear, ALWAYS keep this door CLOSED never open it" I said tearing down the furniture in front of it, I'll open the safe room door that leads to the door on the other side as soon as I get the supplies" I explained as I faced the door, my hand gripping the metal rod that held the door closdd
"y/n are you sure? Are you sure you wanna go through with this? We can't lose you" nick put his hand on my shoulder, I looked at him
"I got this" I reassured
"no..." We both turned to see Ellis
"we... Have got this" he cocked his gun
"whoah, dude you sure you wanna go with?" Rochelle asked
"i can handle it Ro" Ellis spoke out walking to the door
"Ellis she is right" I looked at him "are you 100% sure?"
"Yeah" he gently smiles
"okay..." I spoke, still unsure
"everyone! Get back! Coach be ready to lock this door behind us!" I commanded
"3..."
"2..."
"1..." Together, me and Ellis threw the rod of the door and ran outside into the middle of the street
"where is it?" I whispered, as I said this we heard the door slam behind us, we looked back at the door "let's get moving" I started to walking away from the safe room, however Ellis wasn't following "elle?" I ask walking back to him, he was looking at the roof of the safe room
"I...uh... I think I found it..." He whispered as he pointed to the roof, I looked in that direction and gasped as I took a step back, I heard a horde of zombies coming our way, the tank spotted us and started to bang on his chest roaring
"Ellis run!" I grabbed his wrist and dragged him around to the other side of the safe room, I pulled the air horn out of my pocket and made as much noise with it as possible
"y/n what the hell?! Is your goal to get us killed before we return?!" He yelled
"trust me!!" I yelled, suddenly a huge horde of zombies came sprinting our way whilst the tank was charging towards us from behind, I took a jar of puke and threw it with as much force as I could at the tanks eyes, the tank stopped running and tried to get the disgusting substance from its eyes,
"quick!" I grabbed ellis' hand and we ran towards the horde
"are you crazy?!" He yelled as we ran through the horde, as we got out of the end of the end of the horde, we saw them attacking the blinded tank
"they- they ignored us and went straight for the tank?!" He asked breathless
"I... Told you..." I caught my breath "to trust me" I smiled at him
He grabbed a pipe bomb and threw it at the remaining horde,
"Now let's get to that store!" He cheered, we started to run to the store as we heard the pipe bomb explode behind us...
