Part 4- Take the Elevator?

I know my sister well. She most likely has a very pissed off expression on her face right now. “Jayson, we can’t get out. That is why we are in here.”

Before any more questions could be asked, I yell out to him, “Come on and help open the vent, Jay!” Cuddles is now curled up against my side, shivering. “The fur ball in the vent is going to drill a hole through it soon.”

As he pulls on the vent cover, I hear him laugh before asking, “I don’t think she can do that?” Megan is screaming as she tries to push on the vent cover again. “Ok, maybe, but then again she is your sister and you know her better than I do.”

I burst into laughter as Megan screams out to him, “Shut up, Jayson, and pull harder!” My phone starts to play….My Boyfriend's Hot As Hell...as a message comes through from Gabriel. Megan yells back to me, “Really! Really, Vince! Is that the only song you could think to put for your boyfriend?!”

Jayson’s now laughing so hard he can barely stand. “Oh man, that's great...hahaha…”

I smile as I read the message from Gabriel~ I am ten minutes away. See you soon, Sweetie.~ Awww, he is so sweet…..

“Yes, Sis, that is the only song that fits him so well.” I smile as butterflies fill my stomach on the thoughts of seeing him soon. The vent suddenly comes open. Megan scrambles out onto the hallway floor as Jayson reaches into the vent. “That’s ok man, I don’t need a hand.”

He laughs before grabbing Cuddles from my outreached hand. “Who said I was saving you.” As he pets and whispers calmly to Cuddles, I start to wonder if my best friend likes me for my puppy. Random odd songs like, He loves me for my puppy and he wants the puppy more than me, start to dance through my mind as I climb out of the vent.

Random thoughts and even calm thoughts all shatter to total fear driven thoughts as another high pitched scream is heard. This time, it was right down the hallway, and it was followed by three gunshots. What is going on! Is the whole building being robbed one apartment at a time? Wait, maybe I was just hearing things. Grabbing my backpack I stand up and look to Jayson and Megan, who are both now standing at the elevator pushing the buttons repeatedly. Well, I guess I wasn’t imagining it. In that case…..”push the buttons faster!” I am terrified... Wouldn’t you be? I stop my frantic attempt to call the elevator to us...just for a second. I just realized something. Looking to Jayson’s back I realize I have something very important for survival. I finally have a bait buddy. Watching him claw and bang at the closed elevator doors soon changes my mind. Ok, not a very good bait buddy but it’s a start...

Everything starts to fall apart around us. Screams throughout the building start to go off like fireworks. Males, females, and even children. No place seems to be safe, they are coming from downstairs, upstairs and even our floor. I can’t even fathom what is happening. Lights start to flicker on and off. The elevator finally arrives. The doors slide open slowly. Relief fills us as they do, but it is soon taken away as the doors open completely. There is no way in Hell someone would expect to see what we were now staring at. Bloody hand prints decorated the whole inside of the first elevator. No dead body, but something bad went down in this elevator. If you believe we would dare get on to that disgusting death trap then you have another thing coming. Nope, not going to happen. Nothing dead or alive could ever get me to ride that elevator.

We all looked to each other, just as another wave of screams and gunfire started to go off again. I choke on my own words as I struggle to say, “Let's..try..the other...elevator.”

They both nod their heads, but their eyes are still transfixed on the bloody screen in the elevator. The next elevator should be safe….right? Wrong, so very wrong. The next elevator also is covered in blood. To make things more interesting, there is even a dead body in this one. Come on! What did I do to deserve this?!?! The unexpected takes a turn for the worst. You would think it couldn’t get any worse than it already was, right? At least I didn't think it could…..boy was I wrong. Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, now I am watching in disbelief as the dead body starts to twitch and move. Aww come on! No, no, no, please anything but that…...It is now standing and glaring at the three of us. Yup, it's exactly what I was afraid of. His glazed over, death filled eyes stare me down as I slowly slide backwards along the wall towards the stairs.

Jayson and Megan are now dashing down the hall towards the stairs while I am still sliding along the wall having a staring contest with…...you guessed it…..a zombie. Yup, things just went down the drain. Ok, I can do this. All I have to do is keep my eyes fixed on his and he won’t charge me…..Jayson grabs my arm and basically drags my frightened butt down the hallway to the stairs. As I am being half dragged down the hallway I start to remember some zombie movies. Ok, zombies are slow….wait some shows they can run……. Taking a quick glimpse behind us confirms what type of zombie this guy is. He is now dashing towards us at full speed. Yup, he’s a runner. This defiantly puts things into a more dangerous dash for safety.

Megan has reached the stairwell entrance and is now yelling back to us, “Hurry, he is right behind you!”

What?!?! No, don’t look, Vince. Whatever you do, do not look behind you. Looking behind me I find the zombie is now only a few feet away from us. Why, why did I look?!?! Nevermind, I know why. I’m an idiot that's why! We reach the stairs and quickly slam the door behind us. Ok, safe. There is now a door between us and the zombie. Pfft, zombies can't use doors. Scratching, banging and then the door knob starts to turn. Oh come on!!!! Jayson and I both slam our backs against the door. The zombie is now pushing and winning…..but Megan surprises both of us as she runs up with a large broom in her hands. She slides the broom behind a pipe on one side of the door, then quickly finds another pipe large enough, on the other side of the door, to hold the other end of the broom securely in place.

Part 6- Is Tyler Safe?

Gabriel gently takes my right hand with his left hand, as Megan slowly peers out the door. The zombie is now racing down the stairs towards...
