{AN/just so you guys know, Gia is pronounced guy-ah and Gianna is pronounced Gee-Anna}
"No. Nu-uh, no way. We are not doing this!" Gianna's voice rang out in a whisper scream type of way as her and Caleb stood at the front door of Alex's small flat in Central London. They were on a mission of sorts. To get out of the apartment, away from the... Whatever they were; and find Caleb's mother and Alex's family safe.
Oh, if only it were that easy.
"It's the only way, Gia." Caleb said, grinding his teeth. The blonde girl shook her head, her small fist tightening around the hand of the kitchen knife she was begrudgingly holding.
"It so is not." She scoffed, looking at him, pleading. Gianna always got her way,
Well today, she wouldn't. "Caleb... You've got to be mad. This is your plan?"
"Yes." He clarified, sounding unsure even too himself myself. What he really wanted to say was no, let's not do this, but he knew-just like the rest of them-there was no other way.
Gia's hands tugged at the roots of her hair. "So you're suggesting Alex fires a shot from her window, and assuming whatever they are follow the noise-we just run out to your car scot-free?" Caleb, looking a lot smaller at this point in time for a twenty year old, nodded. Adding on another quiet 'yes', just to make sure Gianna got the point. The girl huffed, slumping forward.
"Right." She moaned. "Wait, why does Alex even own a gu-?"
Bam.
The two watched as Alex ran, almost tripping on the fraying white laces of her converse as she did. Terrifying, scarring moans, groans and screams got a tiny bit quieter as everything shuffled in the direction Alex had fired a bullet.
Had it worked?
There was only one way to tell.
"Go, go!" Alex squealed, pushing in front of Caleb and Gia to unlock her door. Thrusting her rusty keys into the tight back pocket of her jeans, clearly scared out of her mind but also loaded with adrenaline. "We have seconds!"
The door swung open and Alex, suddenly feeling bold; pushed in front of her two friends in a mad dash to the black car just around the corner. It was working! Most of the infected had trampled over one and other in the direction of the bullet. But not all of them had decided to go.
Alex screamed as she ran right into one with a thump, falling to the floor from the sudden impact. Madly, the small girl kicked out, thrusting her converse covered feet into the soft flesh of the infected woman, trying with everything she had to push her away. Alexis knew she would do anything she could to not have to kill another one. Finally, sweating and far behind both of her blood covered friends-she managed to narrowly escape the infected woman and run. All she had to do now would be to get to Caleb and Gia.
Wherever the hell they'd gone.
She turned the corner and the car was in plain view. But so was Gaia, trying to peel an infected person off of her whilst Caleb kept stabbing it. In the back, in the neck. It wouldn't die. Sadly for Alex, she'd been here once before. By a stroke of luck, she'd killed the one that attacked her in the kitchen. All she could do was hope the way she killed it would work again.
Alex yelled to him, "Caleb, the knife!". Within seconds, he threw it to her and she squealed, jumping back. Giving a quick scowl to the usually smart boy, she yanked the weapon out of the ground and ran over to the infected person. She stopped breathing as she plunged the knife into its skull. Gianna screamed, grunge splattering all over her tanned skin. She scrambled up and Alex quickly jumped back into action. "Car, now!"
