After the mysterious man Alfred left them the group heads back inside to the others sharing what had happened.
Teara: are you serious!! So now there’s freaks out there to other then the infected.
me: yelp, we can’t just call them the freaks what should we call them.
DJ: what about the changers.
me: hmm sounds good to me.
...........else where.........
oliver: I could of sworn they would be at the car by now.
Jeff: Oliver this isint looking good for the big man how do we no your not playing us.
Oliver: oh trust me I’m not.
Jeff: where giving you 3 more hours and if they don’t show your going to have to speak with the big man.
........back to our group..........
DJ: well I don’t no about you guys but I’m starving.
Me: yeah me to.
jarrad: should we trust the man though about the food.
Me: ah yeah your probably right.
alice: well you don’t have to worry about that there’s not even anything good left in here.
DJ: awww
me: hey! I’m not from around here but I’ve learnt my way around and plus when I visited here on the way out from the prison there’s a grocery store. A few of us could sneak there and get a few things.
jarrad: well that’s great but what if oliver and his buddy’s follow us back not to mention the changers now.
Teara: yeah it’s dangerous to even leave.
Me: would you rather sit here and starve.
Teara: I guess your right.
Alice: oh hey, aunt D I thought this would help I found a dead guard who had some keys on him I took them i didn’t no if it would help but keys are keys.
Me: wow good job. Ok here’s the plan, Teara I no taking DJ would be bad for us so her and Alice both are staying here with Alex and you. If anyone what so ever happens to try to get in run to the other side where we found mike and stay hidden. Me, jarrad, Matt and Andrea will go to the store’s and while I’m out I’ll see if I can find something to help with the girls being less seen. DJ, if you here any new foot steps human or not you. Take them somewhere safe .
Dj: ok.
Teara: why are you taking Andrea she’s just a little girl like DJ and Alice.
Me: well, like you said she’s a little girl. She’s harder to be seen if we get into a sticky mess I’m sending her to run back here and let everyone no. And also she’s the only one small enough to fit threw vents.
Andrea: I don’t mind going. We need food and I’d love to help for once.
Teara: alright then.
me: ok let’s get going.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
delilah and the small group make there way to the store but they didn’t realize there would be a horde there.
Me: well this definitely wasn’t what I thought we would see.
Jarrad: did you think it would be cleared out.
me: funny jarrad, no this looks like the horde that passed by Daniels place not to long ago will just have to let them pass by.
a very long 2 hours later....
jarrad: ok we’re gonna have to get in there the group is waiting on us.
Me: yeah, I no come on I have an idea.
delilah straggles off one of the infected and knifes it’s insides and starts rubbing it own her
everyone: “looks at Delilah in discuss”
me: what anyone else got a better plan
jarrad: uhhhhh nope. “Starts doing so as well”
andrea: yuck!!!!
Matt: ah I’ll try anything once.
After rubbing the dead corpse on them they try to walk threw the horde.
Andrea: Matt, I’m scared!
matt: it’s ok andrea here just hold my hand.
andrea: ok “gulp”
me: ok come on let’s get to that car.
Jarrad: ok now what the plan.
me: well we made it threw the horde didn’t we, my bet is there’s more inside. Andrea I was going to get u to climb the car and look and see if there’s any on the roof but you don’t have to I no it’s scary.
andrea: well yeah, it was scary walking threw them but I can do this.
Me: are you sure.
andrea: yeah.
Me: ok go! How many’s up there is it enough for The root to fall in.
andrea: I can’t realy tell there’s a few laying down and like “starts counting on hands” 4-5 walking.
me: ok come down from the car. Dang that might be to much for the roof to cave in. Back when all this fisrt happened I had a run in with the same situation I just don’t won’t to happen again.
Jarrad: ok if you can get the door open me and Andrea will hold the doors while you and Matt grab what you can and even get two more of those back packs hanging there for me and Andrea to carry when we leave.
me: ok, do you think these window will brake if I throw a rock.
Jarrad: i dont no lets try.
the window cracks but not enough for them to get in and also starts drawing attention.
Me: ummm Jarrad I thought we wasn’t going to draw attention to our selves.
Jarrad: it works in the movies.
matt: I’ve got an idea, the cars spark plug “walks to car” if I can get it out I can crush it and there’s a piece in it that shatters glass. “Crushes spark plug” see.
andrea: uhh guys I’m not one to complain but we’ve got company.
me: Matt hurry through it.
?????: wait “door open” plz don’t brake the glass. Hurry just come in.
shutting the door behind them inside the store with the mystery stranger the infected starts banging on the door drawing more and more attention.
?????: it took me weeks to get them to leave me alone and not have attention drawn to me.
Jarrad: why did you let us in.
?????: well I kinda live here. And if the window was broken they would get in. And the names Toby bye the way.
andrea: “pulls on Delilah pants leg and whispers” what if he’s a changer.
me: !?! That’s right. Stay behind me. Hey! How do we no your story checks out.
toby: well, I had the keys to the front door. I worked here before all this happened.
me: you’ve been here 7 years all bye your self.
toby: well not exactly there where others that came looking for refuge from all this but they soon got tired of sitting here and waiting for god no’s What so they left and offered me to go but there’s food and shelter and a bathroom here why would I leave. And there’s also been people come to threaten me for food or I die.
Me: how did you no it wasn’t us that would do you like that.
Toby: the little girl behind your leg says other wise. Most marauders don’t have children.
Me: hmmm fair enough.
toby: and no I’m not a changer. As the little girl was saying I might be old but this hearing aid works just fine. Now as you can see there’s plenty of food here you may take as you plz.
Me: wow wait do you no about the changers.
toby: not realy all I no is some young man named Alfred stopped here one day saying there was a changer near by but he couldn’t find it ended up it was stuck under a car and couldn’t get out so it decided to change to get my help. And when I didn’t go out there Alfred found him.
me: yeah we meet Alfred to did he tell you anything about miss mavis.
toby: no I’m afraid not.
Andrea, Matt and jarrad are felling bags with foods and drinks for the group.
Me: well toby I no you said you’ve been offered many times but we have a group and safe walls at the prison and you have the keys to this place you can come back any time.
Toby: it is getting rather boring here. I’ll think about it while you find what you need.
Me: ok, hey andrea how old are you darlin.
andrea: I’m 16
me: “whispers” so you no about what happens when you get older right.
andrea: “blushes” yeah alex told me. But I haven’t had that problem yet.
me: ok well walk over here with me will get us some girl stuff and you can keep some on you at all times you never no when.
andrea: yeah I say DJ and Alice will need some to soon huh.
me: yeah there’s just 7 though so it might be a few more years but it wouldn’t hurt let get some for them to.
andrea: and Teara and Alex might need some to.
me: “laughs” yeah let’s just get a lot ok.
andrea: ok!
