I couldn’t take the silence anymore and I opened the door, just in time for Dale, Charlie and Dave to literally fly through the door onto the stairs, but there was no sign of Daniel or Jess.
I heard a few more gun shots and Charlie peered out of the door.
“There were riot squad vans the way we came, all open and no sign of any officers, they had the suits, shields, weapons and even left the keys in, so me and Dave decided to thieve most of it. Teehee.” She giggled, hauling up two duffle bags to me, to which Dale and Dave followed suit to. I smiled and remember the gun shots.
“Oh yeah...What were you screaming at?” I asked quitely, shitfting uneasily from one foot to another.
My three best friends looked at me, fear coming back into their eyes, a strange fear I’d never seen in them before. They were scared.
“Well....Halfway up your road, we came across this dead dude, it looked like...It looked like Big Ben, he’d...He’d...”Charlie stopped as she started crying, we knew two Ben’s, and Big Ben was Charlie’s ex-boyfriend and she loved him. Dave carried on.
“Their was stomach acid all over the concrete around him, claw marks- the works, it looked like he’d run for his life to get here, and I’m surprised he got that far to be honest.” He commented gruesomely. But....
“But, the thing is, what we thought was dead, wasn’t. He got back up just as we were walking off.” He paused, shaking slightly.
“....And he didn’t go down very easily until Dave shot him in the head. This epidemic that’s going round...It isn’t right.” Dale finished, looking down, but he soon looked up again when we all heard footsteps crunching up my drive.
“Hello? I poked my head round the door as Charlie hurriedly withdrew hers. Two blonde heads and a brunette one were stumbling up my drive, two of them supporting a blonde one.
“Shit! It’s Daniel, Jess and...Who the fu- EMMA?!?! It’s Emma!” I squealed, opening the door wider.
I turned round to the others who looked a bit more perky, except Dale.
“Yeah...But where’s..Where’s Shell?” He whispered, his eyes filling up with tears.
I frowned and turned round, wondering what HAD happened to Shell, I just hoped for the best.
The three stumbling up the drive saw me and smiled, exept Emma, who was limping and had her head down, I sighed and relaxed a bit, but it didn’t last long, especially when a fuck off massive figure skidded to a halt at the bottom of my drive, shreiking like fuck knows what. The door was nudged open a bit more and I froze, an echo of ‘shit’ sounded behind me, everyone began to twitch at the sight of what stood sniffing behind Shaun’s car. Everyone took a sharp intake of breath.

It was Shell.
