"That isn't real right" Jesse cries out, rooted to the ground out of fear as she points it out to everyone around. "Shut up!!" her boyfriend yells towards her-stucked emptying his shells after round of round. "I swear it died earlier.." he admits, "This all your fault!! Fiend child" accusing Princi.
"Go screw yourself" she pointed at him. "Your shitty bullets couldn't gave it a reason to stay alive." She yells.
"SHUT IT " Hino breaks- grabbing Princi by the sleeve of her clothe. Staring right at her, he questions on what the hells going on around here. Disgusted she grabs at him by his own shirt, "We are going to die soon, its best we move now".
"Childs play! All freaking Childs play you all" someone yelled from above them. Aghast, all of them looked up towards the second floor, laying against the parapet holding him from falling down, in his all black suit looking down at whats going down. Mr Pink stood there laughing to himself-the others all at lost of the punch line.
"Incompetent fools " he spoked "Get your shit right and that running, the dead are there." he yelled in a derisive tone before taking off in the other direction. "Dead" they all wondered its only red water around here and this fleshy cube, what does dead mean? Confused one of the hunter turn to look back only to fall flat into the waters.
"Hey you alright there?" Con nervously asked staring at the panic man as he scrambles to stand upwards from the water. "Help" he panics "Please" he beg before falling once more. "Something" "My leg!!" he cries as he rapidly thrust his legs away from nothing.
Grabbing Hino by his shoulder in a serious tone Princi asked "Hino we have to run now". Why is she so worried? Hino wonders, maybe she smell something he couldn't perceive she did state she could smell their scent. An epiphany hit leading Hino to wonder, "How many do you smell?" he questions. "One right there" she pointed to the bleeding cube "and about 500 down there" she pointed towards the water.
"500?" he muttered before his attention was called for else where. Looking at the man now being pulled across the water's surface as red splashes over the air. From within the color hands rose over him with girl in long greasy hair biting away at him.
Even with the familiarity of death, it still feels a first to witness someone die so slowly. Like fish gather around a meal drop into the water many more swarmed out around the man or human with different article of clothing and all very much dead.
"RUN!!!!" Cob yelled before anyone else started move a muscle. Still more immerged from the water now walking , running, crawling towards them. "Screw this" Moe yelled after finishing another round. Bursting from other area more dead corpses stood around them all, "Hino" Princi whispered hugging him from behind "Now its time to defend your general". "Wait wha-" before he could respond his worries were cut short with Jesse still crying on the floor and Princi pushing him forward.

"Wait....... Why the fuck am I going first?" Hino yells with all their hungry growls distracted by Jesse's fear. "They smell fear" Princi answer. "Your much worst then that" frustrated as he points towards the floating cube still crying out red. "Well why do this for once ok, you need the money don't you?" she retorted. Somehow she's right, Hino admits he needs the money to maintain his current life style and maybe even his future one, also he can't die someone is expecting him alive. "Fine" the engine laughs as he said those words "but your helping". Somehow after hearing those words she smiles-"Bold of you to think I would leave a fight" as she drag one of the spears out from behind.
"Guys what you doing go I'll handle this" Cob spoiling their moment. "Shut up " they both yelled-charging straight towards the largest group. Laughter filled the mall and the sound of splitting flesh as it follows behind. Heads, arms, guts you name it all bursting up in the air before falling into the waters as in sinks bank to its unknown depths.
Hino-slashing and dashing a million times, never enough to make a dent in numbers. More just emerge to take lost space as the numbers build up. "I'll help" the boy in the beanie came in with a baseball bat, clubbing through. Hino could hear Jesse's screams but there wasn't a need to care for that, "We are gonna have competition" he recalls her words. Priority 1 is killing the source. Priority 2 are these zombies then finally Jesse.
From the corner he could see Princi striking and hitting dead with her spear as she goes at it. Its pretty scary to see her eyes as she goes, there's no evil or sense of malice in them but certainly no good either. There he sees a particularly large zombie charging in her direction, without care he leaps forward the blade of his chainsaw gliding in the heads of unlucky zombie as he charges forward into the belly.
Covered in intestines and other organs all over him and a shocked Princi. Staring at her irises he couldn't tell what she might be thinking but all he feel being stared like this is that moment he laid there battered and bruised on the school ground. She snaps and laughs. Huh?.... why is she laughing, he wonders its so wrong looking but he likes it-now he really wants to laugh also.
"Diabolical" she laughs "Maniac!! I fucking love it. Kill more for me Go Go Go" she cries in laughter as she rubs her face. Hearing that he couldn't help but like her "Go Go Go" he repeats as they continued.
As he slash and smash and dash across over and over again. Something feels wrong for Hino why does everything feels like paper to him-this feels to simple and why are even more now. How many had I killed?
Turning a quick glace, expecting to see mounds of bodies all over the place, to his shock it was all clean with nothing not even a finger in sight only just the red water. "Dodge dodge!!!" he could hear Princi yelling out close by but dodge what? Their only zombies. Oddly his right arm felt numb was it the lack of painkillers had he forgotten his dose?
No
Wrapped across his right arm like a snake on a branch. He flow around his arm, tightening as it goes. Stucked and wrapped in red water, being able to see his arm through the red water. Huh?..... he wonders before feeling his bone twist and turn-feeling every crack and wrong turn his arm goes while guarding himself from the dead with his good arm.
Screaming at every bone, he could only watch as his shoulder twist before Princi yells then a shockwave.
....
Deep in red, he couldn't breath well as he sinks lower and lower. Around him he could make out shadowy shapes of corpses floating about. He could feel something floating around him. No. He's floating within it.
He could hear someone's voice in the distant. Hollow and prideful yet childish in nature.
Are you I?.....
