I look left and right, but I see nobody. "Hello?" I yell, the screaming comes again. I hear it coming straight ahead. I run like the wind, I end up where I heard the screaming and found nothing but a ripped piece of purple fabric. I pick it up and inspect it, I think. Wait! This is the fabric from Anthony's crush's jacket! It is her! Rose Henson! The screaming comes back again. "I'm coming! Hold on-" I get tackled by something big. "AHHH!" It's the tank zombie! I use my wrist blade to stab it. It roars in pain, I get out of the grip. I quickly take out my bat, and slice the zombie across the face, in return. I get backhanded into a wall. "GAH!" A bit of blood comes out of my mouth. I flop onto the ground, I struggle to get up, the zombie menacingly walks towards me. I activate my cherry bomb launcher, it rolls to the zombies feet. It looks down all confused and picks up the cherry bomb. I shield myself with my arm, then. BOOM! Scraps of the cherry bomb fly in all directions, I look over my arm and see the tank zombies face completely blown off. I get back up wiping the blood off of my lip.

I get up and keep looking, I hear the screaming again, but instead, this sounded like Anthony. "Anthony stop messing with me!" I yell. No response, "ANTHONY!!!" I yell again, still, no response. "He probably found some action figures." I keep looking and looking. I hear the scream again. I run even faster this time, I get a glimpse of the girl, Rose, there she is! She sprints to the left and I follow, I see her climbing up a ladder. I climb up too, then she climbs back down. "What the hell does this girl eat?" I say as I follow. I look behind myself to see a horde of zombies. "So that's what she was running from." I keep on following her until I trip and fall down. "Wait up! I'm trying to help you!" She doesn't even look back; she just keeps running and running and running. I turn on my walkie, "Hey, Anthony." I get no response. "Anthony?" Then I hear some crackles, then some raspy voice says this into my buddies walkie: "Your buddy, is gone mate, he's trapped in the mall food court, if you wanna save him, then come over empty handed, you've got one day you cuck." The walkie turns off. "What a cool villain speech." I put my walkie away. "I'm gonna go save my buddy." I say then taking out my bat. I walk and try to look for the mall, until I see some gigantic shadowy figure. "What in the hell is that?" I say as I see it walk to the mall. "Oh crap." I say, I run to the mall just to get tripped by a manhole. "It's the end of the world and these manholes are still a problem?!" I get up and yell: "ANTHONY!! RUN!!!" I then see the monster break into the mall, I hear the screaming again, and it says help this time. I didn't know who to go after. I thought hard, "Wait, Anthony did track in middle school, he should be able to outrun the monster. But this girl might get trapped and die, then Anthony's future girlfriend could be donezo." I ran after the screaming. I end up where the screaming is again. Okay, I feel like this is a trap now. I decide to lay low inside an old house, I lock the doors and try to restart the power, it turns on. "Okay, I can stay here until that girl gets close enough so I can help her."

30 minutes later…

I decide to get out and go back looking for the girl. I walk and walk, I keep on walking, it feels like I've been walking for days. I just did some rest and my legs are already acting up. "Ugh, what time is it." I check my watch and it says it's currently 7:05 PM. I hear some ruckus happening at the parking lot of the mall, I take out my binoculars, and look over. I see Anthony on a log trying to hold on so he doesn't fall and die. The monster is holding up the log, "Oh shoot, Anthony!" I put the binoculars away. I run to the parking lot, Anthony disappears into the log, and the monster drops him. "NO, ANTHONY-" I get tackled by something not so big and bulky, I slowly open my eyes to see that Rose is piled on me. "What the-" I say in a weak voice. Apparently I'm being suffocated by this girl's body weight. I see Anthony on the front of a car. "Anthony?" I then black out.+
