So basically I'm doing yet another rpg...this one is kinda like dawn of the dead, it'll be loosely based off the newer version since I have yet to see the older one T_T...Theres zombies everywhere and we are indeed trapped in a mall. We are all desperately trying to stay alive and find a way out of this hell hole. Are you up for the challenge? Everyone will be starting out from their own location, such as their home or work or wherever else they may be. And someway somehow, we all basically make it to the mall. You can have up to two or 3 characters since the more the better, most will more than likely die anyways, haha XD You can be graphic, because hey..this IS a zombie story.

Ok, heres the first post

a blood curdling scream could be herd in the distance...

"Avery, over here!" A males voice could be herd hiding behind an assemblage of trees. Glancing over in his direction, Avery quickly ran over to the sound that was none other than her brother, Blaire. As still as possible, they huddled together, hiding behind the low thick limbs and leaves that the trees provided for cover. Faint sounds of footsteps were herd, thrashing threw the sticks and dead leaves on the ground provided by the forest floor.

Another males voice cut through the thin forest air, "Come out! I swear, you can run all you want and you can hide as well, but sooner or later, I will find you, and theres nothing you can do about it!" He pointed a gun hastily in the direction of a few leaves that rustled in the distance, only seconds later to have a couple of harmless birds exit it in a timid fashion. He lowered his weapon slightly and with one pause, he glanced one last time, then started heading back through the path whence he came trudging through.

Avery and Blaire heaved a sigh of relief...they seemed to have been holding their breath the whole time. She felt tears start to deluge in her eyes and as she blinked, a single drop fell from her soft pallor visage and sunk into the soil below. "I'm so sorry Blaire..this is all my fault..I never wanted this to happen, and now...*sniff*..now I ruined our lives.."

"No, Avery...dont say that." The tender words from her brother met her ears and almost instantly she felt a sense of forgiveness. "None of this is your fault...its our fathers....our good for nothing father did this to us, he's the reason our lives are miserable." He then lifted Avery's head up by her chin so she was looking at him. He looked straight in her eyes as she did the same. "...Dont think for a second this has anything to do with you." His voice seemed so subtle, she thought he always seemed so sure of himself....at least one of us is...I dont know what I'd do without him.. She thought to herself in that brief moment.

Instead of releasing a floodgate of tears she held back as best as she could, and stood looked behind the trees slowly, making consummate sure that Trenner was no longer around. Trenner was a horrible man. He worked for her father and is greedier than a newly starving orphan looking for crumbs...well..her step-father at least. Ever since their mom died of an unrecognizable disease that causes the body to slowly break down and die, he's been looking for a cure. He only loved her, he cared less about her children. So he hired Trenner to kill them off, they always got in his way. Ever since the day him and their mom met they've been a troublesome to him. Earlier that day Avery entered his lab, hoping to find something on the death of their mother. She was almost curious if he was keeping her mom ill so he could use a test subject for his cure. That is, until she got caught and thats why Trenner started chasing after her and her brother with a gun. They made their way into the nearby forest and luckily got away...

"Shall we head home sis?" Blaire's voice broke the silence, almost scaring Avery, as she was engrossed in the quiet of her surroundings. Nodding her head, they both started to walk back to their small home not too far from there.


OOC: Ok, there ya go, no ones a zombie yet obviously, but dont worry, thats coming =]

Shayden sighed long and heavy. Her job sucked so bad it was like everyday Godzilla came in to her city and destroyed everything. Godzilla being her boss, (Mr. Garcia), and it seemed like all the time this big dead animal was stuck up his ass.
"Something smells in the counry of Denmark." She quoted, when Mr. Garcia was about to permanantly fire her.
"I'm so sick of his cocky little..."
"Miss Arian, please try to understand that I'm not doing this because I hate you..."
Shayden rolled her eyes *Yeah right* She thought to herself.
"But rather I am only doing this because I don't think you have been working up to your expectations and your full abilities. You can do better and...
"YES I CAN DO BETTER! She shouted. " So just give me another chance ok, this mall is the only place close enough to my house that is willing to hire me, I need this job you don't under...."
"Yes yes, I realized that Miss Arian. But I just can't take it anymore, I'm sorry, your just going to have to find a better job."
"I can't believe this..." She muttered.
"Well Miss Arian, start believing it, It's no gohst story, but this is as close as your life can get to a scary movie."
Shayden rolled her eyes again, sighed, and with a temper to much to bear threw her hands up to her hair and began pulling at it.
"Now please, hand me your name tag and employment vest."
Shayden rather, threw them at him and stormed out the door.
"What a ****." She had practically screamed out, an echo was heard throughout the entire mall, and suddenly it was very quiet. Somewhere amongst the population of people a childs voice was heard...
"Mommy, she said ****..."
Shayden hated being around so many people, that no matter how much she tried to be invisable and go on with her life, someone seemed to notice her and she hated it. It was funny because not too long ago she wished it was the complete opposite.
"If this is a scary movie, then I just hit the climax..." She said between clenched teeth. She then made her way out to the food court.
"Oh well, the good thing about getting fired today is that I don't have to wait another 4 hours for lunch break."
She stepped up to a "Wendy's" and ordered a number 1 and a small coke, eyeing the "Cold Stone" ice cream store while taking a bite of the deliciously juicy burger.

OOC: ok, you can cuss dear, its OKAYYY lol

IC: As Avery opened the door she noticed how quiet it was around their small town. Everything seemed to be quiet and calm. Usually there was always cars going by, people outside mowing their lawns and tending to their gardens but not today. She was curious about this and as she reached for the knob her hand had made contact with something wet and it slid off the door handle. Holding out her hands she revealed the dark red stain that had spread over her hand. She looked down at the door handle terrified, and noticed it was coated in blood. Avery let out a silent scream as Blaire pulled her back and opened the door slowly, revealing the inside of their house.

He stepped in slowly, the light of the day dimming as it neared dusk. The contents of the house seemed untouched. Avery followed slowly behind as they both entered. Blaire double checked the house making sure it was safe then locked the door. He sat down on the rather old couch that was in the middle of the living room and flipped on the t.v. Every channel was interrupted by news reports.

Avery glanced at the t.v. as soon as she got back from washing off her hands in the kitchen sink. A womens voice was herd.
'..people were just...collapsing on the ground for no apparent reason! I wasnt sure what to think of it..it seemed it was happening everywhere-'

Blaire turned the channel to yet another news report. A males voice this time.
'Yes, we checked his pulse we thought he was dead, but in a blink of an eye he got up again, and he attacked my friend...he bit him and the blood was just-"'

He turned off the t.v.

"What do you think is going on out there?" Avery questioned as her brother stared at the now blank t.v. screen.

"I dont know, but I think we should stay inside." He chimed in as he made his way to the window and stared out into the blank streets in front of the house.

It was a while before Shayden decided that it was time to leave the mall. She didn't want to run into the jerk again anyways. She was just about to finish her ice cream when all of a sudden a woman screamed a high pitched scream. It sounded almost deadly. She panicked and ran past Shayden in the food court..."IT'S...IT'S REALLY....HIM!" She screamed again. Off in the distance somewhere past the food court, a young man stood tall in a pool of fans...
"Oh no, not Ashton...anything but him..." She moaned. "I'm so sick of the high school band boys getting out all the time and coming to the mall, where they can embarrass themselves in front of everybody. Actually, it's kind of funny." She corrected herself. She picked up where she left off, when yet again another woman, older, about in her 40's came into the mall past the food court screaming..."IT'S AFTER ME! I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT IT'S OUT THERE. ONE MINUTE I WAS TURNED AROUND TO FIX THE CAR AND THEN SOME MAN WANTED TO HURT ME! IT'S OUT THERE, YOU HAVE TO RUN, IT'S NOT NORMAL, IT'S DISEASED I TELL YOU, RUN! EVERYBODY RUN!"
Someone from the food court teased her.."Man who let the kook in, somebody take her out of here!" He laughed.
The whole of the food court let out an tremendously audible laugh. The woman put her hands to her face, she was sweating and out of breath. She must have been sure, that nobody would believe her....When suddenly an anouncement came on in the mall.
"Everyone please stay calm, we have just been informed that the state government has ordered that every local place including gas stations and grocery stores be immediatly shut down and evacuated due to a strange illness that is highly contagious. This illness is yet to be named, and we are still searching for the reason to this case. Reporters say that they will soon discover the problem that is being caused, and get the information to viewers on their television sets at home, also available on radio...the news station. I again warn everyone to please stay in their homes and lock all windows and doors, we don't want the virus to spread. Please, everyone leave in an orderly and calmed fashion out the nearest exit to them. Thank you!"
Shayden smiled. "Awsome this would be the perfect opportunity to get back at him! I can sneak into the store and vandalize it....that will show that greedy ****faced bastard not to skrew with me! I'll teach him what happens when he fires an innocent employee! Especially now that everybody is going to leave...I'll just hide in the store and wait for Garcia to leave." It was the perfect plan...and she was fresh on revenge.

No one was around..no one was out...the sun was setting.

Blaire went into the kicthen to get a clean washcloth to clean off the bloodied door handle. Avery followed after him. "So...why is that on the door?" she questioned, not taking her eyes off of the slow circular motions her brother was making wtih the rag.

"Maybe I should check the house some more? I'm not sure what made it or how it got here..maybe it was from this morning when I threw that raw, leftover meat out?" He glanced over at the trashcan that sat at the end of their driveway only a few feet away. "Yeah...that had to be it."

"Eww....so I had rotten meat juices on my hand? You really need to start washing your hands more...or at least clean up after yourself...or at least get a disposable sink. I hate it when ants and bugs infest our wastbasket but seriously..walking out to the trash bin everytime we wanna throw food out really sucks, especially in the winter." Avery laughed remembering just this past winter when, even though the bugs were hibernating, Blaire insisted that he clean out the fridge and get rid of anything leftover and rotten, old and would never be eaten. Thats what he does when he's bored..cleans.

"Alright then" Blaire stood up from washing off the door, "its strange....I dont remember the blood being quite as thick when I through it out..I dont even remember getting blood on my hands..I dont remember having to wash them either...strange" He opened the now clean handle and walked back into the house, Avery following behind.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night

The sun had set.
Blaire was in the living room, moving the coffee table to open the sleeper sofa. Avery was in her bedroom, brushing her long black, wavy hair. Niether of them had turned on the tv since earlier that day. It was probably just some silly thing that would pass and everyone would get on with their daily, miserable, boring lives. Avery pushed her bangs to the side, moving them out of her eyes and face When she herd a knock at her bedroom door.

"Come in!" and the door opened to reveal her brother standing in its frame.

"Hey, look who stopped by" He moved to the side letting Dez, a tall, lanky boy their age, with blonde curly hair that went down to a little past his shoulders.

"Wow Dez, look at your hair!" Avery laughed as he walked in to sit down beside her "Its getting so long" She gaped at him for a minute before she smiled and gave him a greeting hug.

"So where is everybody?" Blaire chimed in during the middle of it. "I havent seen the neighbors out all day."

"Well, thats strange, because I havent seem my parents all day. They went out early this morning for their 'daily jog'" As he said that, he held up his hands, making sarcastic quotations as he said the word. "And I havent seen them since then."

"hmmm..." Avery said as she wondered where the town went. "Well are you hanging with us tonight? Sure, you only live the next house over, but we wouldnt want you to stay there a lone."

Dez gave her and Blaire a questionable look. "I dunno...I might wanna be home when my parents get home and I doubt theres a place for me to slee-"

"Oh come on!" Avery snapped in the middle of his sentence, "How old are you? 20? 21? and you still live at home with your parents! I doubt you need their permission" She laughed as she finished.

"Yeah, and I dont have sleepovers like I'm 12" He retorted, smiling "okay, I'll stay, but I get the top bunk" All three laughed in unison but was cut short by their dog, killer, who started barking and growling outside.

Shayden was very well hidden inside the store behind the desk. The people in the mall were piling out the doors closest to them. She smiled, seeing no sign of her boss anywhere. The store she was in was completely empty. She then decided that since everyone was distracted she would have her moment of revenge. She popped out from behind the desk and walked over to the first rack she saw. The section that she worked in. She laughed at the stupidness of everything about it. The products told how great your hair would look and which one was the best shampoo to use. She worked at a hair salon in the mall. Well, not really a hair salon, but just somewhere that you could buy the products from the a hair salon. She stood for a moment looking at the beautiful women on the boxes. "You deserved this longer than you know." She said and she went into a rage grasping the racks and tearing them to shreds, pulling them off the walls and watching as boxes burst open and containers busted open. She worked her way from one end of the store to the other and soon enough, everything was a heaping mess. Nobody seemed to notice her. She laughed in victory. Nobody would know it was her. She looked down at the miserable mess for one last time before she began to walk out the door. She suddenly stopped in amazment. The cage was down. The cage that protected the store was shut on her. For a moment she was in a panic, but soon remembering that she worked there she searched for the cage key. Every employee had one....But then after a failed search in her pockets she began to panic again, except this time she really was in a disasterous state. She had forgotten that just this morning she was fired and had returned all of the belongings to the boss, including the cage key. Everyone was almost all piled out the door. When the police took the last 25 people out, Shayden screamed for help. "Hey hey! Wait don't lock the doors I'm still in here! Wait!" But she was so far back in the store and the clamour of people was so loud that they couldn't seem to hear her. They shut and locked the doors....the lights were off and it was pitch black. Shayden became scared and thought herself stupid for thinking of something as careless as revenge. Now she was stuck and alone...and in the dark. She remembered then the flashlight that the boss kept in the drawr under the cashregister in case of a blackout. She jumped up quickly to recieve it but she tripped on the boxes below her. She got back up and tried again, finding the drawer, and opening it. She found the flashlight. It's batteries were low, but it still worked. The dim orange light showed the many boxes on the floor. While digging through the drawer she found a wrench. "Hey this could work." She said, and took it to the door stuggling to free herself. "This is gunna take a while." she pouted and began to work at the locked cage, in the small light that could go off at any moment. She had to work fast.
