Nightmare

INVASION

EPISODE 2

Nightmare

When I woke up, Everything was blury. After some minute my eyes were cleared way more than clear. I notice am in a hospital but

John: what the heck. What's going on. Where am I.

Pooww pooww pooww pooww.

John: what the, is that gun shot.

I remove every plaster and other stuff on me except for the surgery clothe without it am naked, I get down from the bed and move out of the ward. I found myself in the hallway. And everything went dead silent, so silent if a pin fall at that moment it will sound so clear. I keep moving through the hallway, thank Goodness there was light, but not stable. I keep on moving till I reach a small room. I peek through the key hole and found it empty, I opened the door, went inside, then close it back. I search through every thing, found some clothe, shoes and an old axe.

John: I don't know what's going on but with the sound the of the gun shot I heard earlier I will definitely need it.

I move out of the room, found the stairs, walk down to the next floor. Every where was litter with blood and body part.

John: what the f**k. Am I dreaming, oh Yeah. am definitely dreaming. Am suppose to leave in the next three days. Wait a minute. What the hell is going on. And What the heck is all this, blood and human body part?

I saw an arm on the floor, I touched it with my axe.

John: this is a human arm. Right? Okay, All I to do is wake up.

I look at the axe turn it upside down then hit my head with the handle.

John: ahhgh it hurt. Not working don't tell me all this is real. GOD.

Poock!!!

(A sound?)

John: who is there? Show your self.

The light went off.

John: the Fuck. (I don't have any touch on me. The hell is going on?)

My hand are shaking. I keep moving backwards gently back to the stairs. Then I feel a touch on my shoulder behind me. Immediate I use my axe to Jack it off and swing my axe to what ever is in front of me.

John: I hit something.

I remove the axe swing at it again again and again. Suddenly the light came back on. And what I saw

I dropped my axe. Held my hand on face and draw it downward.

John: God. Did I... Did i just kill a human,

Not long I hear some footstep and growls. sound like it coming toward me. I looked back and in front me I saw the unbelievable, A swan of human but wired look.

John: the f**k. Zombies.

I picked up the old axe. I ran back to the upper floor. When I get to the hall way I found more of them. I spot the room I search through before Then went inside and lock it. I don't know how but all of the zombie were at the front door of the room I entered and they about to tear it down. I lean my boddy against it. Putting all my weight on it, but it does nothing. I feel like am weightless.

Pooww pooww pooww pooww...

I heard gun shot, the weight on the door keep reducing, until it felt weightless. And everything was silent at the moment. Not long I hear footsteps coming closer to the room I was. Closer, closer, closer. Then I realise this foot step is different from the step of those human who lost their sense. I open the door and I saw three people, two guys one girl. The girl is just my height maybe age too. . I held my hands up to show am no threat. I stood by the door as they move closer. The first guy stop in front of me. Staring at me like he wants to devour me at one gulp.

@:(Deep voice) can you please step aside?

John: (whoa what a voice) oh sorry about that.

$: Move

John: don't mind me.

#: Excuse me.

John: (wow she has a beautiful voice) ladies first.

Am supprise at one thing though. They all want to get into that tiny room at once. Are they..... Dumb

John: Did You know you guys can't fit into that tiny room if you all go in at once. Do you know that?

I was ignored.

John: well, okay, okay. Cool.

Wiggling my legs.

After some minute they are done with what ever their business is. And were ready to move. So I keep following them. The older one notice me.

$: what are you doing.

John: hey look, am new here So I don't know what's going on and you guys seems to know the way around here. so, am taging along if you don't mind.

They all look at each other, the two guys gave me a Fuck off sign and move on. The girl among them move closer to me.

John: Johnson but you can call me John.

#: alright Johnson,(she pull out a cigar from her pocket. light it up, inhale and spread the smoke to my face) . sorry but we can't take anymore people, we nearly suvive with the little we have.

John: (cough, cough) has it gone that bad. (Waving my hand to clear the smoke.)

#: oh it's gone way worse, these infected are all over the world.

John: Infected?

#: Sorry John. But....

John: wait.. Wait. I will join you. I mean this thing you guys are doing. Searching for supplies and food stuff. I can help too. You need more hands.

Silent for some seconds.

#: You seem like a cool guy and we need all the help we can so, Alright let me talk to my brothers.

John: okay, thanks... Thanks a lot.

As we keep moving

#: there is no safe place anymore in this world. I will advise you to stay here as its the safest place for now.

I look around the hallway that's full of blood, dead infected and body parts.

John: Are you sure about that.

#: Am just suggesting. well it's your funeral. If you wanna tag along feel free, but there is limit.

John: okay, I promise.

We head out side.

John: oh my God.

#: welcome to the new world.

It's like war world. We walk pass many blocks and infected.

John: what are these things?

#: these are mystery, no one knows how they developed.

#: I'll tell you one more thing, the only way to survive is to follow Your instinct, not just your instinct you need to be brave, bold and lastly brutal. Or else you will be at the bottom of the food chain. That's my advice for you.

John: Alright thanks.

#: how did you know we are searching for supplies.

John: well I watch a lot of zombie movies.

#: (giggles) Zombie movies? when was the last I saw a TV. You are funny And weird.

John: yeah.

We reach their hideout. It's small at least enough to contain mostly 50 people.

Inside the hideout.

Crowed: hey we need Food.

My son is hungry

I haven't eaten since morning.

This is not enough, give me more.

@: Please calm down there is enough for everyone.

Man1: Dont listen to him. this is not going to be enough. Get out there and find more.

Man2: yeah, you are not doing your job. You suppose to find food for us but instead. Everytime you go out you always come back empty handed.

Man3: they are fraud. They keep most of it for themselves then come back here with little food.

@: please calm down. We are trying our best. We will go back and find more.

John: is this how it's been for you guys, everyday?

#: well mostly ofcause.

John: hey, umm, can I know your name?

#: I thought you never ask. Name is Xia. (inhaling her cigarate.)

John: Xia, cool name. And your brothers?

Xia: the elder one (@) Is Jack and the second one ($) ripper. We are not family though just what we call ourself since we have no parent or whatever.

Jack: well that was a pain in the ass.

Ripper : I hate them, they have no sympathy, they don't know what we face out there, in fact they don't wanna know how we survive or get the ammunition we use. all they care about is get them food and keep them safe, they only care for them selfs. Bunch of stupid ingrate.

Ripper saw me.

Ripper: what? how did you follow us here.

Xia: it was me, I ask him to come.

Jack: why, I thought I told you that we can't take Anyone anymore, you can see all this right?

Xia: look I know but he said he will join us in search for supplies and food and since we are short of hands I think he can help us.

Jack: hmm

Ripper:Oh, No, No, No way Jack don't be silent we can't. We are enough.

Jack: I think we need more hand, ripper..

Ripper: wait you have got to be kidding me Jack. Okay, what if he is a spy. From others who want to take over this place.

Jack eyes change toward me.

John: spy? Come on who would ever want to take over this dump, you guys have no food, water, shelter is hideous, and you think someone of all people will want to take this place, if they take it, what is your loss? And third you don't have warriors just the three of you Feeding almost 40 people. Mostly women and elders. To be honest you guys are vulnerable.

Ripper: (grinning his teeth.) Who the Fuck do you think you are.

Jack stare deadly at me, he move close To me and.

Jack: (Hit my back hahahahaha,) Looks like you got a new roommate rip. I like you kid. You are just what we need here. Come on ripper make him feel at home.

Ripple: what? You can't be serious Jack.

Jack: hey we need more hands here Rip, there is little we can do. Alright.

Ripper looked at me with dead stare.

Xia: oh come on ripper, if you can't do it for Jack sake how about me.

Ripper: Fine.

John: Yeah, I think I'll pass, Maybe I can check it out myself. It give me the opputunity to know more about this place.

Ripper: oh don't worry I will take you there beside you are a rookie, how will you know your way around. So don't worry, your bro ripper got you.

John: (sigh) Am in trouble.

He held my shoulder as he push me slightly me to his room.

Ripper: So kid, where are you from.

John: Kid? Hey am 18. I ain't no kid. And I guess you are not older than me.

Ripper: okay, but just to be clear, I don't wanna see you around Xia. You are too good looking and I've been working to get her attention and it remain just a little bit. So if you can be a gentle men and stick your self to your place. We will have a good relationship. Ortherwise it's that.

Pointing his hands to a dark room. I don't know what's in there and I don't wanna know.

John: Cool. No problem as long as you show me the room. We won't have any problem.

Because I don't think this is the way to the room.

Ripper: You sure are smart. Alright deal.

After a while

Ripper: well here it is. room sweet room.

Where I enter the room it was. Wow.. The room is shady, the ceiling is, (sigh), what do I call it. Sky free? Short, dirty bed with springs coming out of it. Rats all over the place. Garbage.

Ripper: well, what do you think. You like it hun, alright see you in the morning.

John: is this room use be garbage room? hey wait, I get you don't like me but at least have a sympathy.

Ripper:Hey this is where I live, eat and sleep. So if you don't like it then deal with it. Sounds like Fucking ingrate.

John: okay, whatever I'll take it. Can I get something to eat. At least I can't stay in bed hungry for the whole night.

Ripper: alright am coming.

After some hours:

John: oh God am so tired.

Ripper: whoa, this is.... How?

John: well, I ain't no dirty prick.

Ripper: hey?

John: anyway where is it.

Ripper: what?

John: the food, or you expect me to do all this work and still sleep with an empty stomach.

Ripper: hey I didn't ask you.

John: talk about ingrate, you are the worst by far.

Ripper: Well you did try I mean it's way better than before so thanks. And that's because I don't want to be an ingrate person.

John: yeah right. Whatever

Ripper: Here, (tossed some bread at me).

John: Thanks.

After some minute of silence.

John: why are you being a jerk.

Ripper: what do you mean

John: if you love her then go ahead and tell her. She may feel the same way.

Ripper: why? Do you think she will say yes.

John: of cause, well, there is no way she Will fall for Jack, he is old, I guess he is in his late 30 or so.

Ripper: how did you know that?

John: I studied medicine. So, stuff like that ain't that difficult to figure out.

Ripper: so you think I should tell her.

John: yeah, immediately, even I don't know how to control myself.

Ripper: remember the dark room.

John: hey am just saying. You should make it fast.

Ripper: (sigh) Okay I'll give it a try tomorrow.

John: Don't give it a try, make sure you tell her.

Ripper: okay. I'll tell her. Thanks man.

After some seconds of silent.

Ripper: I think you are a great guy.

John: you think so.

Ripper: yeah, and am glad you are with us. Alright I've said too much. Good night.

John: (chuckled) Alright good night.

Ripper: oh and John, we move at 3AM in the morning.

In some minute he started snoring. I keep thinking about this sudden change. What happened that day. I was crossing the street and I heard someone calling me, I looked back and the next thing I remembered was Meagan's face. Did something hit me. Was I in comma for seven month. Am so confuse I don't know how to put it together. Is this all a dream or am I sleeping the three day straight I promised my self that I forgot to wake up. Whatever am going to figure this out.
