2.0 | Sophia and the Jocks

"PARADISE COVE?" Kai asked as they approached Josh's home. "Nice. I haven't been here in a while."

After losing the golf team, and ditching Kai's precious car, they ran the rest of the way to safety. Well, temporary safety, anyways.

The group entered Josh's apartment, their eyes widening at his amount of supplies. Kai couldn't believe her eyes, and neither could the others.

As Wesley and Angelica were gushing over how this place had everything, Kai stared through the window.

"We need to get moving, they're gonna find us if we stay here." She stated, her blue eyes carefully examining everything outside of the building. It was oddly quiet, for the apocalypse. Kai turned to the other three, her eyes landing on Josh Wheeler, all packed up and ready to go.

The boy turned to Wesley, "Thanks for telling me where Sam is. You guys can just take whatever you want and go."

Angelica stepped forward, chocolate smeared around the outside of her mouth. "And what is Sam's not at the mall? What if she's dead?"

"She's not. Look, my mom used to leave me post-it notes, but this one..." He drifted as he held a note in front of the young girl's face, "This one is Sam's writing."

Kai furrowed her brows, "Let me see that." She stated, taking the note from Josh's hand to examine it. "He's right, I know my cousin's writing."

Josh nodded, "She left it here for me. If Sam is out there, I'm not giving up."

Before any of the others could respond, they heard vehicles approaching their location. Kai ran to the window, with the others close behind.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." She muttered, peering through the boarded up window.

Wesley shook his head, "It's Turbo Bro Jock."

"Turbo Bro?" Josh and Kai asked in unison, "You mean Turbo Pokaski?"

Angelica scrunched her face up, "I can't believe some parent named their kid Turbo."

"Me neither, Angelica." Kai muttered, "Me neither. Turbo gathered all the Jocks into one tribe. Football, baseball, golf, et cetera."

Wesley nodded, "He's the bad guy."

"How'd they find us?" Angelica asked no one in particular.

Barry turned towards Turbo, holding up a blunt. "We found it here. Bubonic Chronic."

Angelica, Josh, and Kai's eyes all landed on Wesley. Just as they were about to speak, the window shattered.

Kai could hear Terry shouting from outside the building, "Little pig, little pig. Let us in! Or we'll huff, and we'll puff, and we'll kick the shit out of you."

"We have to get out of here, Josh." Angelica stated.

Josh furrowed his brows, "You and I are not a thing, Angelica."

"If I kaboom those Jocks to ash, can I stay on your team?"

"There is no team in the apocalypse, Angelica. There's just people doing what they feel like they need to do to survive." Kai stated, running to the blood bags that Josh had, and turning to the others. "Water balloon fight, anyone?"

After filling up some balloons with blood, the four began to launch them out of the window.

"What's this even gonna do, Kai?" Josh asked, skeptically.

She scoffed, "Ghoulies are attracted to the smell of blood. Meaning that they'll be here within thirty seconds, and we can make a break for it."

As she was throwing blood balloons into the herd of athletes, her eyes landed on Sophia, smirking from her spot next to Turbo, with Mona Lisa opposite of her. Her heart stopped as she and Sophia locked eyes, then her blue eyes traveled to her hands. Her fingers were intertwined with Mona Lisa's, causing a pain to shoot through Kai's chest.

"Make it rain!" Wesley yelled as he, Kai, and the others continued to drench the Jocks in blood, waiting for the ghoulies to show up.

Things were going according to plan, especially when Terry decided to ridicule the group.

"Is that all you got, losers? You're gonna have to do better than that!"

Boom. A ghoulie had bitten Terence in the neck just as he finished his sentence. It wasn't long until more and more ghoulies arrived, allowing the four to make a clean getaway to the mall.

𑁍

Angelica, Kai, and Wesley had all agreed with Josh that they'd meet him at the mall. But when the three arrived, he wasn't there quite yet.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Kai growled, "One day, I'm looking for Sophia, the next, I'm running from Jocks all because I decided to actually save someone other than myself for once. And I discovered that Sophia fucking joined those meatheads. Jesus fucking christ, can I not help anyone without someone wanting to murder me anymore?"

A ghoulie was approaching the trio, causing Kai's rage to further.

"That's it." She stated, coldly, before shooting the ghoulie in the head. "I'm done being nice."

Josh ran towards them, "Hurry, Turbo's on my ass." He said, once he got closer.

"No, he's not." Wesley stated, looking in the direction that osh had come from. "Why aren't they chasing you?"

Kai heard a motorcycle approaching them. She looked in the direction, holding her gun up and preparing herself to shoot. A person clothed in all black on a motorcycle was coming towards them, and Kai instantly recognized the figure.

"Baron Triumph." Josh breathed out. "Oh, shit."

Angelica swayed a little, "ANyone know who this twat herder really is?"

Kai shook her head, "Rumor is it's Hoyles, but I doubt it."

"Whoever he is, here he comes." Angelica stated, readying her weapon - a Russian flame thrower.

The figure got closer, and Kai could see the false motorcycle logo on the side of the bike. That's when she figured out that it wasn't Baron Triumph.

Whoever it was stopped the bike and got off of it, undoing their helmet.

"What the fuck?" She breathed out in surprise and annoyance as her blue eyes studied just who it was in front of them.

The mask was now off of the person, and Kai could not believe it.

"Sup, turds." Eli Cardashyan greeted with a smile.

Angelica furrowed her brows, "This is who we've been scared of? A light breeze could kick his ass."

"I thought it was gonna be Hoyles. This is... Who is this again?" Wesley asked, looking to the others for help.

Kai lowered her gun, "Eli Cardashyan. He's a knock-off Baron Triumph."

"Awe, Kai, I didn't know you thought so highly of me." Eli said with sarcasm as he approached Kai and her friends.

"Oh, pumpkin," she began, stepping closer to him, "trust me when I say this.. I don't think of you at all." She whispered, not even a foot away from the boy.

Josh rolled his eyes, "Okay, whatever, where's Sam Dean?" He asked the dark haired boy.

"Do I look like her publicist?" Eli asked, not moving his gaze from Kai's sapphire sky blue eyes.

"Sam's not here?"

Eli shrugged, "Sorry, it's just me and my girlf, Mavis."

"Awe, Mavis is a cute name, for a mannequin," Kai stated with a false smile on her face as she walked back over to Angelica.

The younger blonde decided to speak, "You have the entire mall? You?"

"I'm dominating," Eli said with a light laugh, "While you nooblets have been playing the apocalypse on easy mode, I'm the boss level."

Kai crossed her arms, "Oh, please. you couldn't even dominate a sex doll."

"You wanna test that theory?" He asked with a smirk. Kai rolled her eyes and decided to blame the heat for her reddened cheeks.

"You used aluminum foil to write Triumph on your bike." Wesley said, sending Kai a quick glance and noticing her pink cheeks.

Eli scoffed, "After the bomb exploded and everyone scampered like Smurfs, who came here and locked this shit tighter than a nun's vag? Eli. Who's living like the Sultan of Dubai? Eli."

"Who's about to get a bullet in his head if he keeps talking about himself in the third person?" Kai questioned, her tone venomous, "Eli."

A flash of fear flashed in Eli's eyes as he turned to Wesley. "A lap a day dressed like this keeps looters like you away. So how you like me now, Wesley Fists?"

"I like you just fine," Wesley stated, smoke exiting his mouth as he talked. "Why wouldn't I?"

The raven haired boy's eyebrows raised, "Oh, we are mortal enemies, like Moriarty and Holmes. Batman and the Joker. Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar. You are my nemesis, and I will have revengeance."

"Who are you, again?" Wesley questioned with furrowed brows.

Kai smirked at this awkward encounter, before her eyes traveled behind Eli.

"Eli! Watch out!" She shouted, pulling the boy behind her as she readied her weapon. The real Baron Triumph was approaching the group, and she refused to let anyone other than herself die.

"Look what you assholes did, you brought the death demon here!"

Angelic scoffed, "Us?" You're the one imitating him."

"Yeah, Cardashyan, it was probably your fucking tricycle." Kai growled. "Now get us inside this fucking mall or so help me I will feed you to this monster."
