On The road

*Kaaawwww*

From a specific cage inside the store room of the store room at the back of the store.

Haider went inside while looking at the dead birds at the front side of the shop.

In the back store Haider entered then saw several cages with living mutated birds inside them. and a burned corspe which looked like Flames work. He went to the cage where Flame was sitting on,and looked inside there he saw a young female pure white cocktail with red eyes and light blue marking on its wings,it was beautiful female cocktail,By the looks of it Flame was interested in her. Flame melted the bars of the cage with his red hot claws and went inside , Flame started to do a dance which was then followed by the female one, It looked pretty funny.

Haider glanced his eyes over to the other birds there was a pair of small white finches , a green ring neck ,a pair of white and black pigeon and a large cockatoo. Each of the birds had patterns and colours either in their eyes or on their wings and tails .

Haider took all the birds and then placed them inside the back cage of his car .

He went inside again to get some food for the birds but as he was just picking a sack if beans he noticed a lage nesting box attached on the side of a cage , He went close to it and then opened it, he saw a violet colored large egg about the size of two fists emitting a red hue .

"I want this"Haider mumered as he felt some energy pouring from the large egg. He also had a habit of collecting strange stuff.

They drove off after Haider shifted the birds and their food inside his car.

"What's the egg for " Bella asked as Haider putted it inside his backpack.

"I don't know"Haider replied and shifted his gaze to the back seat where Monica was playing with Flame and his new partner and also Silver who seemed to be in a heated conversation with her new friend, they seem to be arguing over something.

The ride continued. On their way they stopped again beside a garments shop to get some pairs of clothes for the girls, they also stopped at different food and hardware shops .

5 pm evening 6 April:

They encountered many hordes of the zombies and were attacked by a swarm of rats but Flams and Haider took care of them with some effort. Now they were entering the street leading to Bella's house,

They stooped in front of an intense battle.

A zombie with 1 foot large nails and slender back,his back was bent forward and had a long tongue which was hanging outside of his mouth ,A large black dog about 1.5 metre long, it had long fangs and a shiny horn peeking out of his forehead.

The battle was on the favour of the dog as the infected was rather very damaged,

"Are we gonna help the dog ?" Bella asked

"No look at his eyes he's mutated" Haider replies while observing the dogs eyes that had went blank similar to the zombies.

"Monica shoot the dog "Haider said as he got out of the car and unsheathed his swords ,

Monica didn't hesitate and shot the dog ,the dog was taken by suprise as it didn't took off his eyes from the zombie in front of it .

Haider ran forward ,the slim zombie just looked at him and stepped back as Haider swinged his broad sword towards his neck.

*CLANG*

Haiders second sword collided with the long nails of the zombies to he defended himself from the incoming attack of the zombie .

Haider with his one sword blocking the view of the zombie swung his second sword upward

*Swish*

The body of the zombie was cut in half by Haider. The battle was easy due to the zombie being damaged by the dog.

He took the crystal inside its head and also from the dogs head then he cutted two of the dogs legs to feed them to Pearl, he pulled out his horn from his head.Then he told Flame to burn the body of the corpse so it would not draw any unwanted attention from the zombies.

They drove off and then parked in front of shop on top of the shops was Bella's house . Mark and Haider got out and killed the few zombies lingering around . Bella went to the main door and started to ring the bell , A figure opened the door with caution,

It was Bella's mom ,she rushed and hugged her daughter.

She was woman in her fourties with looks quite similar to Bella, Both of them hugged for a while and then she invited everyone over to her house , Everyone went inside. Bella's little sister was upstairs .

She was 15 years old with long hair ,slim body and wore a pair of glasses just like Bella. Her name was Jenny.

" Pack your things we're leaving before sunset"Haider said to Bella,

"Who is He ?" Bella's mother asked ,

"He's a close friend "Bella replied,

"We're going down to check the vehicles"

Haider said as he left with Mark .

Bella told the whole situation to her mother while they packed their clothes Monica and Jessica helped them .First Bella's mother refused to go. She was afraid to go go outside because she saw many people getting slaughter by the zombies outside but she agreed after she thought of the food that was running out.

"Hmm there's nothing particularly damaged"

Mark said,

"Yeah i guess"Haider replied as he started feeding Pearl the dogs legs and also gave food to the birds inside the car .

"What do you think was that thing fighting the dog" Mark asked while looking at him,

"Another mutated one i guess, i think I'll call it a slasher " Haider replied

Both of them filled the guns with ammunition,

after that Haider started playing with the cockatoo as its wings were cutted it couldn't fly. Haider liked his new collection of birds .

There was a large open gutter infront of the house.

"Hey mark throw some infected into the gutter"Haider said as he noticed some movement in the waters.

Mark threw an arm of a zombie into the waters .

"SPLURT"

The arm was consumed by a large black fish about the size of a human arm .

"What is that?" Mark asked,

"I guess a mutated fish, I wish I had a net "

Haider replied as he went on to feed the cockatoo the crystal he found inside the dogs head. After he ate it he attacked the left over meat of the dog at the back of the car hungrily as he consumed almost 5 kilos of meat in an instant. Then it fell down. Haider caught it hurriedly, he checked him and sighed as the cocaktoo was only sleeping, He laid him inside the car.

"I think he's exhausted"Haider thought

6 pm evening 6 April: outside of Bella's house:

They all were ready to go back after they shifted all the needed supplies inside the cars.

Mark and Jessica with Pearl were inside the fielder which mainly acted as a carrier for supplies.

Monica sat at the driver seat with Bella at the side. With Silver playing with her new friend who had dark green pointed flowers on his back and Haider standing on the roof opening with Flame on his shoulder .

Jenny and Bella's mother were sitting at the back seat Jenny had the sleeping cocktail on her lap .

They drove off to the road sunset was at 7_30

so they had to go faster this time as they didn't had any stops that could delay their timing, So they could reach the base before night.
