Chap 8: call me
Yoongi took the lead, carefully opening the door which lead to the darken hallway. He looks left to right, checking to make sure none of those creatures were lurking.
"Okay, lets go." He pushes the door all the way, ushering everyone through quickly.
Jimin kept his footsteps quiet, his nerves on edge-terrified that something might jump out and pounce on him. He kept a strong grip on his gun, it became a permanent fixture. He began wondering how they lived without guns. Was the world that safe back then that they didn't need to constantly holster a gun to their sides.
His mind started to think about that voice, the man in the radio. He recognised it, could've sworn he's heard it somewhere before. Who was he? Why did he know him?
"Shit." Jimin snaps from his daze, Yoongi had stopped at a chained up door.
"What? What is it?" Jin hushed his voice, none of them wanting to make a sound incase it lured one of them in.
"It's fucking locked." Yoongi pulls on the door, the clanging of the heavy metal rings.
He tried yanking at the chains, using his strength in hopes he could break it off. Though it was ultimately useless, the chains stayed put locked around the door.
"What do we do?" Jimin felt a sudden wave of panic, they couldn't go back, it only lead to those things.
Yoongi sighed in aggression, running his fingers through his hair. He debated on what they would do, they didn't have many options. He glances around, trying to catch any glorious light leading them to safety but sadly there was none.
"I don't know." Yoongi scrunched his face, taking out the radio he took from the room they were in.
"Hey dickhead? The doors fucking locked." Yoongi almost growls into it, pressing down on the button to speak.
The cracking sound of radio status rung before a smug voice echoed.
"Then find another one, it's not rocket science mate. I didn't realise I had to walk you through it." The cocky voice of the mystery man resonates from the radio, causing a frown to appear on Yoongi's lips.
"Now listen here mate! There is no other fucking door that doesn't lead to those corpses. You want us to die?" Yoongi growls into the radio, trying again to yank the door open.
"If I wanted you to die I wouldn't have offered to help you. Okay, listen can you find something to open it? I don't know maybe a pole." Yoongi almost scoffs at the suggestion, like he hadn't thought of that.
"I'm not an idiot-." A sudden lurking noise of the undead snarls, the pitter patter of slumping feet to terrifyingly follow.
They all snapped their heads up, turning silent as their ears listened out for the predators ready to attack. It was coming from down the hall, the sound of clanging doors were soon to follow. They were clawing, scratching and banging their way in.
Yoongi curses, thinking quick on his feet as he was well aware time was not on their hands.
"Fuck it!" Yoongi twists around, pulling out his gun he fired.
The bullet sliced through the air, cracking the steal lock which held the chains together. The echoing sound of the gun blared, if those things didn't know they were there they surely did now.
"Let's move." Yoongi kicked the door open, gun in one hand radio in the other.
"Thanks for the help fucker." Yoongi spoke into the radio as they began running, hearing the tortoise sound of gnawing following.
"Just get to the drains okay? And try not bringing to many of those assholes with you." The sly voice Yoongi was beginning to despise bites back.
They follow the signs to the science block, keeping guns cocked and on high alert. Jimin kept glancing behind him, paranoia making believe one of them was just around the corner ready to bounce. Their footsteps drummed a fast beat, breaths quiet but desperate. The closer they neared the more anxious Jimin became.
They would pass rotting bodies, decaying teenagers or teachers left laying in the hallway. Maggots ate at their flesh, board into their eye sockets. It sent Jimin feeling this revolting ache in his stomach, the stench was foul and the sadness at knowing how they died lingered.
Tae ran beside him, keeping a firm eye on him in a strong urge to protect the smaller male. Namjoon strode fast in front, Jin not far behind while Yoongi took up the lead. He'd become the unspoken leader, everyone looking to him for the answers. Everyone saw him as the protector, the fearless one not afraid of anything.
But he was afraid, more afraid than anyone could or would ever know.
Jimin tries to keep up, though making sure to keep a keen eye out. His eyes while stalking out catch a sign for the science block they were looking for.
"Hey guys! Here it is." Jimin calls out to them, rushing to the door without a second thought.
Jimin tugs at the handle, glancing back to make sure they were following before opening the door. But what he didn't notice was the stalking creatures on the other side.
"Jimin!"
He hears them scream before a sudden brute force sends him tumbling hard onto the floor. The air is slammed out of his lungs, winding him as this heavy weight looms on top of him.
"Fuck!" Jimin's met with the baring teeth of a teenage girl, her bottom jaw loosely hanging off by tearing tendons.
His forearm rested on her neck while she kept pushing herself down, snapping her withering teeth. It was disgusting, she smelt disgusting was all that Jimin could think as he stared death itself in the eyes.
The all to familiar sound of bullets flaring bounced, Jimin felt the impact of it. The bullet shot had hit the grotesque creature square in the head, her blood splattering all over the walls and on his clothes.
"God sake Jimin! Always check before open doors, it almost tore your face off." Jin came running over, helping him push the limp things body off him.
"Sorry sorry, I just saw the sign." Jimin gets pulled up, he looks down at his blood, brain soaks shirt in disgust.
"Be more careful, Jesus Jimin." Yoongi scolds him, his hun still aimed and ready incase anymore jumped out.
Jimin can only nod his head, letting Yoongi take the lead in waking inside. Jin and Namjoon followed while Tae waits for him.
"You okay?" Tae gently rubbed his shoulder, looking at him with fondness.
"I'm fine but I really need to clean my shirt." He smiled at Tae, they quickly followed as they could still hear the herd in the distance.
Yoongi didn't take long finding the drain grid, it was in the storage centre of the science block. He pries open the cage, lifting it off to reveal a pitch black hole that only lead down.
"Okay this is it, who wants to go first?" He asked their little group, none of them really wanting to be the first.
"I'll go." Namjoon offered, wanting to prove his worth and nerves of steal.
"Alright hot shot." Yoongi steps back, allowing him to skip his legs in the hole.
"Be careful Joon." Tae warned him, showing him his brotherly love.
Namjoon nods, slipping inside the little hole. He jumps down onto the wet, dirty tainted water bed of the drain pipe. His eyes took a while to adjust, it being a lot darker than up there.
"It's all clear." He called up, moving forward to let the rest come down.
Jimin kept looking to the door, the growling had begun growing louder. They were near and ready to attack when found.
"Jimin?" Tae pulls at him, signalling for him to go before him.
Jimin glances at him before nodding, taking the leap down the black hole. Water splashes at his impact, his nostrils get invaded by its foul stench.
"Ah it stinks." Jimin grimaces, squeezing his nose whole the rest all jump down.
"Move. Just move they're coming." Yoongi orders them, true to his word the gnawing sounds rung.
Jimin begins sprinting, not wanting to hang around to meet them. They followed the drain pipe, ignoring the sour scent. In the back ground to keep them company was the howling of the undead. It sent shivers down Jimin's spine, edging him on to keep running, going faster to keep them at bay.
Suddenly the line they formed stopped, Jimin bumps into Namjoon's firm back.
"Why'd we stop?" He asked rather urgently, in a state of panic.
"There's a ladder, we need to go up." Namjoon replied, glancing back to them.
"Then go up it." Yoongi stated the obvious, Namjoon didn't need to be told twice.
He's climbing it, moving feet then arms then feet then arms. Jimin wasn't far behind, doing the same pattern as the crawl up the steal ladder. He glances down to see Tae behind him who smiles at him cheekily.
"Great view Chim." He winked, still able to hold his humour even in times like these.
Jimin tolled his eyes, continuing to climb until Namjoon reaches the top. He pushes at the metal circle, trying to lift it up in a painful attempt.
"Anytime now would be great Namjoon!" Jin calls at him, both him and Yoongi at the bottom being stuck with the stray creatures who made in it.
"I'm trying." He barks back, hissing as his muscles flex to try help.
Jimin moves up, pressing his hands on it along with his. They push at it, using their combined strength the lid lifts up. They move it to the side, squinting as they're meet the the piercing glare of the sun. Namjoon goes first, crawling out to the cold grass before going to help Jimin out.
Jimin helped Tae, lifting him up and out the narrow hole. Jin and Yoongi weren't far behind, being helped by Tae and Jimin. Yoongi when he was out is quick to re-close the hole, not needing any of those fuckers following them.
They all stood there, staring at each other in an almost disbelief that they made it out. That the guy on the radio had actually somehow done it.
"Guess you guys didn't die huh?" A sudden voice startled them, they all spin around raising their guns up.
The moment Jimin turned around his eyes bolted wide in shock. The man who stood before him, hands raised in defence couldn't be real. He was from his past life, from when people weren't going around eating other people.
"Woah there, calm down it's only me. Which one of you was the prick I've been taking to?" He cutely tilts his head, a smirk staining his lips.
Jimin blinks at him, still trying to figure out if he was right in his believe he knew this man.
"I think you mean Yoongi, nice to meet you to asshole." Yoongi steps up, slowly but cautiously lowers his weapon.
"Now I think you mean-." He goes to say but Jimin was able to finish his sentence.
"Jungkook." Jimin said clear as day, causing the man to snap his attention to him.
"Holy shit."
