(21) Oh No....

                     Nick's POV
      After about an hour of resting in that little room, we decided it was about time to get moving, so we exited the room and continued walking. "So...Do we have an objective?" Jon asked with a cough. Cory looked down the hall with a determined look, "Destroy the creatures, and save this stupid world." He said simply. Jon giggled a bit, "Good plan.." He said. "The world isn't stupid!" Uni argued. "Well, it's stupid enough to allow us to get locked up in here.." Cory huffed. Uni gave him a sympathetic look, "You shouldn't run off rage like that..." Uni said.

      "I guess you could say his heart is like a RAGING fire." Tommy said, nudging me playfully. "Pft, that was terrible..." I laughed. Cory ignored Tommy's comment, and glanced at Uni. "Rage helps me fight. It fuels me to keep going." He argued. "Wouldn't it be better to be fueled by determination and care?" Uni asked. Cory huffed, "Perhaps it would be..." He mumbled. Everyone was a little quiet after that, until Dawn spoke up, "Guys...I think it would be good if we took a moment to assess the situation." Dawn said quietly.

       We all looked at him, "What do you mean?" Ashlie asked. "I mean, what do we know about the creatures and our situation?" Dawn asked. "Well, it seems that the creatures are very zombie-like...And it appears that if you get bitten, you acquire their virus, and soon turn into one yourself." I said, shivering. "How fun." Tommy said sarcastically. "Don't forget that we also seem to be the only survivors." Uni added. Cory groaned, "It's going to take FOREVER to kill all these things!" He complained. "But maybe it'll be worth it." Tommy added. Cory looked at him, "Seriously?"

        "Think about it, brutha...Maybe if we kill all these things, we won't have to go back to the asylum!" He exclaimed. Everyone was silent for a moment, "I mean...You aren't wrong..." I murmured thoughtfully. Everyone quietly agreed. I saw Jon look behind us again, then he looked back forward, coughing a few times. "I think Jon has something wrong with him..." Tommy whispered to me, glancing back at the smaller boy. "He might be sick, dude. Chill." I whispered back. Tommy shrugged, "Maybe, but maybe he's losing it more." He whispered. I shook my head, "Let's just give him some time." I whispered.

        As we walked down the hallway, I noticed that Tommy seemed tense. "What's up dude?" I asked. He jumped a bit, glancing at me, "Oh...I just feel like someone's watching us...It's uncomfortable." He admitted. I looked around, "I'm sure we're fine..." I said, patting his back playfully. He laughed, "Whatever you say." He said. I also noticed Jon fidgeting behind me, as if annoyed by something he was hearing. That's when Uni tensed up, and turned around to look behind us. His eyes widened and he gasped loudly, "Guys!" He exclaimed, pointing behind us.

       Well all quickly followed his gaze, and I gasped as I saw many of the creatures coming down the hall towards us. I pulled out my hatchet, and I noticed the others pull out their weapons aswell. "Let's kill these things!" Cory exclaimed, running towards them. I smiled, running after him, holding my hatchet defensively. I ran to one of the creatures, swinging my in the X shape, like Myst had taught us. The creature screeched in pain, and stumbled back. I swung once more at the creature, slashing it's throat deeply. The creature made serial choking noises, before falling simply to the ground.

      I wiped the blood that had splattered onto me off my face, and looked around at the others. I saw that they were all splattered in blood, and that all the creatures were gone. "We did it!" Ashlie cheered, making me smile slightly. "Yeah...But why we're there so many in one place?" Cory questioned, "There!" Jon suddenly exclaimed, pointing down a nearby hall. I quickly followed his gaze, and for a short moment I saw a black silhouette move across the wall, ducking into another hall, out of sigh.

      "I saw that!" I announced immediantly. "I saw that cream-dip too!" Tommy said. "Same!" Cory and Uni said in unison. "Who was that?" Ashlie asked, and Dawn shrugged. "Ya know, they kinda looked like Dr. R-" But Cory's words were cut off by a loud screech behind us. We all stiffened, turning around. We saw a bigger group of creatures approaching behind us. There were A LOT of them, too many to fight, it seemed.

       Suddenly Cory cleared his throat, "Let's go!" He said quickly, running down a random hallway. "Wait up!" Tommy exclaimed, chasing after him, along with the rest of us. We ran down the hallway for a few moments, before coming to a shocking realization that it was a dead end. Uh oh... I thought nervously as we all skidded to a halt in the hallway to avoid running into the wall. "Nice job, Carl!" Tommy snarled. We all turned around, and I felt my heart speed up as I saw the group of creatures slowly approaching us. We once again drew our weapons, and I took a deep breath as Cory spoke. "It seems that we'll be having to fight our way out of this..." He said, holding up his knife. 

     We all nodded, and took off towards the creatures. I started X slicing them, slashing some of them to pieces. I was attacking one, when suddenly I heard Tommy call out, "Nick! Behind you!" I quickly slit the throat of the one in front of me, and whipped around, lodging my hatchet into the skull of the one that had been trying to get my from behind. I then janked my hatchet out of It's head, and swung it once more, slashing the creatures head off.  I smirked, it seemed as though we were winning the battle, until... 

       I heard Uni let out a pained cry, and I turned around quickly, seeing Uni on the ground, holding his arm tightly, a few creatures above him. "Uni, no!" Cory screamed, shanking the creature infront of him, then turning to help Uni. I ran to Uni's aid aswell. Cory and I slashed ruthlessly at the creatures until they were all dead. I looked around, seeing that all the creatures were dead, then I looked back at Uni. Cory was crouched next to him as he stared wide-eyed at the ground, seeming too terrified for words. "Uni, are you okay??" Cory asked as the others crowded around. "C-Cory....I'm s-scared..." He whimpered. "Uni, let me see your arm..." Cory pleaded. And as Uni slowly removed his hand, I felt my heart drop at the most unmistakable sight on Uni's arm...A bite.
