Chapter Three: Meet the Crew

We walked down the tracks, following them, “W-where are we going?” I asked Josh sniffling. I realized this is the second time he took me somewhere, it’s like I’m a sick puppy that has to follow someone around. Wow, that’s sad. Which made me cry some more.
“I want you to meet some people it’s a safe place there too.” Josh explained as he looked around for a good way out.
“Please, if you can help it, no more rocks.” I said sniffling from the fact that I could have almost died... Again.
That made Josh chuckle, he looked around some more, “Come on, there’s a door. It has to lead somewhere.” He said climbing out of the track pit. I hopped up and looked around, still sobbing slightly, keeping most of the zombies away from me. Josh and I looked at the door, it was closed, “Well, this sucks.” He said.
I sighed and cried some, “It’s sad, we can do all this amazing stuff. But not open a door.”
Josh nodded in agreement, then he crouched down and started to claw at the bottom of the door, as he did that I waited and looked around some. My surroundings weren’t that different from where we just were. I glanced back at Josh and saw that he had successfully made a hole in the door, and was starting to crawl under it, “Uh, Josh,” I called out to him.
“What?” he asked from the other side.
“H-how am I suppose to get under there?” I asked, staring at the door.
“Oh… Uh…” I heard Josh say from the other side of the door. I sighed and sat down by the hole he made and peeked under it, seeing Josh’s shoes, going back and forth. He was pacing. I sat there for a moment then tried to squeeze through the hole. I looked up and saw Josh staring down at me. I sucked in my thin midsection and sat up pulling my legs in after me.
I stood up and looked at Josh, “H-how’d you?” he asked pointing down to the hole.
“W-we should g-get going.” I said.
Josh nodded and we walked up some stair, at the top was a room it was quite big with pillars, common infected zombies slumping around. Josh started to walk but I grabbed the back of his jacket, he stopped. I sniffled, staring out the ground then let out a loud cry. The normal zombies ran around some then quickly found some kind of way out of the room. Josh looked at me, I started walking, pulling him with me.
“A-Alex, a-are you okay?” he asked.
I looked back at him and nodded, “Yeah, I’m good.” I said. We walked up another set of stairs and I was starting to wonder why are there so many stairs in this place? I shrugged it off as we climbed through a broken window. I carefully walked around the shards trying not to step on them. This room had giant motors the room was dark as well. I looked around trying to find a way out.
“Look! Up there.” Josh said, pointing to some windows up at a platform.
“H-how do we get there?” I asked. We looked around the room some, “Over here.” Josh called out.
I walked over to him and saw him looking at a control panel a bright red light was on, it had some switches and buttons, “W-what is it?” I asked, scared to touch it.
“I… I don’t know.” Josh replied, we stared at it then he carefully flipped a few switches and buttons.
I jumped and screamed loudly when lights and the motors turned on, “Whoa! Alex! Calm down!” he said grabbed my shoulders, rubbing them.
I growled glaring around the room. A door next to us started to open up I growled at it loudly then calmed down some. Things seemed to quiet down for a moment, “Hmm…” Josh said taking my hand we walked through the door. Only thing in there was trash-bags and some stairs. Seeing as trash-bags were useless we climbed up some more stairs. (WHAT’S UP WITH ALL THESE FUCKIN STAIRS!?)
“Look, windows.” Josh said when we were on the platform Josh hurried over there, nearly dragging me with him.
“J-Josh, I-I don’t jump and leap like you.” I told him.
Josh smirked and picked me up onto his back, “Just hang on tight then.” He said.
I buried my head into his shoulder hanging onto him tightly as he leaped into the air.
I closed my eyes tightly as I felt the wind through my hair. I felt and heard a thud, “Okay, you can open your eyes.” Josh said letting go of my legs.
I slowly opened my eyes and set my feet down on the concrete, “W-where to now?” I asked Josh, looking up at him.
“Somewhere in town I think.” He said looking around still holding me some.
I looked around too, common infected zombies were around, and I pushed Josh into and alley way, into the shadows, “Hey! What was that for?!” he asked.
“S-sorry.” I said sitting down next to him, “It’s just, I don’t like being around common infected.” I said sniffling wiping my eyes I could feel tears breaking down onto my cheeks. I started bawling, crying loudly. Josh stood up and looked around some more letting me cry for a while.
“Oh, we’re close!” Josh said grabbing my hand and pulling me up, I stumbled slightly but found my footing.
“C-close to what?” I asked, but he was already rushing down the alley way pulling me with him, “J-Josh! W-wait,” I started yelling but I heard the coughing and hacking of a Smoker. I stared up at the tops of roofs and around, “Josh!” I screamed when is aw him appear at the end of the alley way.
“What!?” Josh yelled stopping quickly.
But the Smoker had lashed out his tongue, grabbing me and pulling me toward him. I screamed and growled loudly, crying. I clawed at the tongue, trying to grab things that I passed. When I was right up to the Smoker’s face, his breath smelt like years of cigarettes and lung cancer.
“L-let me go!” I growled at him, kicking and clawing.
“SHANE!” I heard Josh yell.
Next thing I knew I was tossed against the break wall as Josh jumped and pinned down the Smoker I stood up and looked at them.
“D-dude! J-Josh! Get off me.” The Smoker said pushing Josh away from him.
I heard Josh hiss a threat to him that I couldn’t hear, but the Smoker only smirked in reply and said, “I’ll try not to.”
Josh got off him and walked over to me, “You okay?” he asked.
I nodded quietly and sniffled wiping my eyes, the tears had started again, “Where’s the others?” Josh asked turning back to the Smoker.
“Who? Kali and Tyler?” The Smoker replied.
“Yeah, duh.” Josh spat back.
I stared at them from behind my hair I’ve never seen Josh like this. Well, I did just meet him. Who’s Kali and Tyler? I thought as the two of them talked and bickered, “J-Josh,” I whispered grabbing his jacket sleeve.
“Yes?” he asked turning back to me.
“W-who’s this?” I asked pointing to the Smoker, who winked and waved.
“That’s Shane.” Josh said and rubbed my shoulder’s some, “He’s an old friend of mine, before the infection.” He explained.
“Who’s Kali and Tyler?” I questioned.
“More friends, I wanted you to meet them.” He continued.
I just nodded in a reply and looked back down at the ground, sniffling and sobbing some. “Come on, they’re waiting.” Shane coughed out. I glared at him as we started walking back down the alley way, I stayed as far away from him as possible, and closer to Josh.
“Hey! I’m back! And look who finally showed up!” Shane called out when we had reached an old abandoned shelter center.
I heard some sounds then feet moving, I first saw a Boomer, who was chewing on an arm, then I saw another Hunter who seemed rather girly.
“W-why does Josh have a Witch with him?” The Boomer asked ripping some flesh from the arm and spitting as he talked.
“Oh, that’s right! You never told me this lovely ladies name.” Shane said turning to us, he smiled placing a hand under my chin. I jerked back and growled at him.
“This is Alex.” Josh said pulling me closer to him, “Alex, you’ve met Shane, the Boomer is Tyler and the other Hunter is Kali.”
“K-Kali?” I repeated, “I-isn’t that a girl’s name?” I asked.
“Oh, Kali’s a girl,” Josh said nodding his head, “She’s just a cross-dresser.”
I looked down at the Hunter who’s red hair was poking out from under the hood, well, at least I’m not the only female among a bunch of males. I looked around, the room was dark and had shelves stacked with boxes and crates. I stepped away from Josh and walked past them to the back, sat down and started crying. Not sure why this time… I just cried…
