  Current location: the theater - ladysmith

  10:02 am

  The theater was a huge room filled with red velvet chairs and a huge stage. As John and I weaved through the chairs and approached the stage we could hear a distant scream.

  “Why us?” John asked as he sat down on one of those red velvet chairs.

  I sat next to him, “I promise you we'll get the hell out of here… I promise John nothing will happen to us,” i said with a calming voice. But i couldn't help it but start crying,

  “Jason?” he looked at me as i started to sob,

  “It's all my fault… i couldn't save her” i cried

  “There's nothing you could have done Jason”

  “Why is everyone I love dying?”

  “You still have me and ron”

  I looked at john and smiled weakly as he smiled back

  “I don't wanna lose you too”

  “I'm not leaving you anytime soon” he said

  Suddenly a voice spoke up from the stage. “Jason? John!” sam said as she jumped off the stage and walked towards us

  Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

  “Holy moly you're alive” John said as he stood up and hugged her.

  “Yeah, How you guys doing?” she asked

  “Come with us, we know a way out!” I said hurriedly as I approached her.

  “How? Where!” she asked

  “The weightroom it is one of the last exits that are unlocked” i stated

  “But first we should find as many survivors as we can!” john said out of nowhere

  Sam nodded in agreement and looked at me “it's up to you”

  Before I could speak there was a loud crash from where me and John came from.

  “Shit we got company!” i said pulling out the glock

  Sam pulled out mother trucking pump gauge shotgun from behind her back. We jumped onto the stage and watched as the leapers stormed towards us.

  Bam

  Boom

  Bam

  Boom

  The leapers fell one after another falling dead but getting back up after a few seconds. The floor was now coated with their dark green blood.

  Bam

  Boom

  Bam

  Boom

  “We need to fall back!” sam shouted

  We backed up away from the oncoming horde of leapers and made a break for the way out of here. We ran into the door and slammed it shut and locked it.

  “It's not going to hold for long!” I said backing away from the door.

  “We run then” Sam said as she bolted down the hall away from the door.

  “Come on!” John yelled as he ran after her. I followed them, where were we going? I had no clue! But we had to find somebody… right?
