Cherish Applebottoms's Arc

Chapter 4 of 11

If not for the smell surely, Her Nightmares, Woke Cherish before the noise DID! The zombies head she had smashed earlier, and body they placed near the barn is rotting. The smell crawled through the farmhouse walls, as if it were a candlestick’s aroma! She sat up on the floor and heard the sound she feared. Wet feet in the grass. Low growls circling the porch. The rot was calling them in! She grabbed her crowbar and stood up, fully awake! Marcus met her in the hall, pistol drawn! Lisa followed, calm, one hand on the holster at her leg. Derek shoved past all of them toward the front door. His green jacket hung off his shoulders. His scruffy black hair stuck up. He looked ready to swing at the whole world. Derek had looked like he’s been through hell since Marcus found him in the barn with Lisa. "Let 'em come," Derek said. "I'll take every one." As he picked up his machete. Vengeance in his eyes! "Derek, no." Cherish blocked him with the crowbar. "Now is not the time to play Rambo. Not without a gun. Especially Wanna be Hero! And even then that wouldn’t fix the situation , as much as you think.” We let them eat that carcass, And we hope they migrate away. "You're not in charge of me," Derek snapped. You think they’ll leave? They’ll consume us too! Things begin to get Tense, As Marcus adds in “Kid I Don’t Think you’re Fit for this”! Derek gets aggravated and try’s to insert dominance. But Cherish shuts it down before Marcus Loses his mind. They try to formulate a plan to sneak into the barn and use the pick up truck left in the barn by the previous owners as a getaway. As they sneak through the back of the house to the barn. Trying to avoid the other zombies. Two leap at the group and Cherish instantly Bashes on with her crowbar and says “ It’s Just Like Wack-o/mole” With a smile on her face. Lisa instantly stabs the other reaching for her! As Derek And Marcus Look Amazed!! As they enter the barn(gloomy spooky sound plays) They all freeze. Droplets like rain seem to fall but there is no rain it’s a woman stepping into the view of the group, with the barn light flickering!! Her white shirt hung in rags Blood soaked! Two extra mouths moving out her cheeks, moaning like children crying. She stared with white blind eyes and smiled with Wide Creepy smile from one mouth. Derek did what Cherish knew he would. He charged. "Derek!" she shouted! He didn't listen. He swung his machete at the infected woman's head. She caught his arm! The cheek mouths snapped shut on his wrist and chewed up to his face! Derek screamed.(Blood sprayed in too many directions to count!) He beat at her, but she held on and fed. Fed until he looked like a walking corpse. Lisa ran for him. Marcus grabbed her arm hard. Before she could get close. "He's gone," Marcus said flat. "You Can’t Save Him, We’ll Lose You TOO!!" Lisa stopped. Derek's screams turned to gurgles. The Screams had drawn a whole pack, and now fresh blood had more zombies gathering off the smell. "Try to Start the Truck," Cherish said. "Move." The truck took a couple of try’s before it started. As Marcus drove the truck out the barn before being swarmed! Cherish looked back once as Lisa cried in the back. The infected woman crouched over what was left of Derek. The rest of the pack swarmed the farmhouse, seeking flesh as the woman Screeched excitement! The stronghold was lost. Four become Three as swift as day turns to night. Cherish gripped the crowbar and looked at Lisa and told Marcus “We Will Make It!!
