Chapter 3 The end of the fight

☠️3️⃣☠️

What the.....

'What should we do Max! 'cindy, one of the lady scream with huge fear

Max regain his composure immediately. Lots of people are counting on him, he can't be acting weak already

'we will leave for the bus immediately! Move it! 'he scream and the men move out after giving the ladies what they've taken. When the demons sighted them, they move away from the bus toward them, 'Shoot them! 'Max scream from the shop and quickly take some milk before rushing out of the mart.

They all start getting in but the demons were getting closer. To whirl away time, Max threw the milk and his bagpack at the man beside him and started to shoot at the demons that were getting too close.

When they've all entered, Max turn to enter the bus but a demon held unto his arm and his head move forward to his shoulder but a gunshot saved him. Without waste of time, he hurries in and shut the door.

Everyone was breathing heavily.

Max look around at the person that fired the last shot but he grew more confused. He then decided to ask, 'Who shot the gun? '

'i did, 'a tiny but thick voice said. John walk out from behind the bus. Seems he opened the window at the backseat to shoot the demon.

Max couldn't contain his joy. He move nearer to him and smile, 'Thank you so much'

John smile, 'ive just repaid my debt. You saved my life remember? '

Max smile wildly, 'Then that means am owning you one',he doesn't believe the kid he rescued earlier would now be the person to save him. All thanks goes to Jessica. It's just painful she's no more

'What do we do, they are going to pull us over if they all get here! 'a man scream as he look at the thousand of demons running toward them

Max stand, 'Drive! '

The driver look back urgently, 'But we couldn't get much fuel the other time! 'he protested

'We are all going to die if we don't move now. Drive! 'Max scream and the driver took on the ignition immediately

The demons runs behind them for a while before stopping.

Everyone heave a relief sigh at the same time.

'Theres a thick bush closer. We should be able to park there and sleep for the night, 'Max says and sit.

Then they start distributing the food. Everyone ate in silent except for Mary and John whose gist lasted for hours till they park the bus

Some people needed to ease themselves. Max decided to be among the men to safeguard them.

Everyone that has a business to do was made to get down. Mary and John also got down.

Max move closer to John as they were about leaving, 'Who taught you how to shoot? '

'I play video games alot, 'he smile, 'but that was the first time of holding a real gun'

Max smile and patted his hair slightly, then he brings out a revolver and stretch it out, 'Protect your grandma and your friend for me'

'Gladly sir, 'he smile and saluted playfully.

Mary move nearer, 'Dad, I want a gun too'

'You don't know how to use a gun, 'Max corrected playfully

'But John doesn't know how too'

'But he saved me'

'And dad, I could learn it'

Max laugh, 'And Mary, there's no time'

John laugh and follow the group of people down the bush area with his grandma.

🕸️🕸️

There were only four people in the bus, two women and two men. The two women were talking about the incident while a man was eating, and the other man was just looking through the window at the thick bushes. Suddenly,he felt a sharp pain. To prevent himself from screaming,he grit his teeth and close his eyes

For a moment, he looks around him and realized noone was watching him. Then he pull up the collar of his shirt to view the teeth mark there.

The pains was increasing every moment and it was getting unbearable for him but he was not ready to tell Max he actually got bitten in the mart. If he did, he would have been ostracized. But what would he do if he become one of them and kill innocent people. One part of his mind wants him to kill himself but dying isn't as easy as one thought. The only thing he can only think of is to leave the bus whenever he thinks it's time to turn

But as time flies by,it became as hard as breaking coconut with ones head,his cells are declining faster and soon enough,he could no longer move his legs. Even with this, the pains increases. He now now feel pains at his legs and feets, the pain he can never describe,pains he feels is much than what he could say.

'Hey, are you alright? 'the other man asked, he was already standing so close to him and have been watching him for a while. The man turn to look at him suddenly jerking the life out of the other man. Fear was written all over his face as he speaks, 'What happened to your face? '

The other ladies got alerted at and the question look and up but it was too late. The man got up quickly and bit the other man by the neck. He scream and struggles to let go.

The women scream too just as the demon let go of the man and turn toward the direction of the women.

It was so quick... They couldn't react or do anything

☠️☠️

'Are they all done? ',Max ask Peter and he nodded, 'Then let head back to the bus quickly. We don't know if there's any demons around here'

A gunshot!

'Whats that? 'everyone rushes together

Another gunshot!

What the....

'Max! 'steven rush toward him, 'i think something is happening in the bus.

'We need to go and check, 'peter interceded

Max look over at the people all gathered together, 'You need to stay together, we will need to check on somethings and we will be back, 'Max says

'Dad, am scared, 'Mary move nearer and shiver

John move her closer, 'Dont worry, I will protect you and grandma'

Max smile and look up at steven, 'Stay with them with the other men while I and Peter go check what's happening in the bus'

'Alright, 'He nod and Make the people sit down together while he and three more men stood up around them carrying a gun.

Max and Peter rush toward the bus

Another gunshot!

What's really happening

Everywhere was quiet when they got to the bus. Max move nearer and open the door slightly, the first thing he sees was blood.

'Dont come in, it's a mess, 'a deep voice warned. Max open the door wildly and look up at the guy in the bus. He looks ok

'What happened here? '

'One of your men got bitten, I think it was when we parked at the mart'

What! Max climb in and look over at the man, there was some teeth mark at his collarbone. So, he got bitten and didn't talk. He must have turn to one of the monster. Max look up at the man hopefully, 'Are you hurt? '

'He was so fast, I couldn't stop him. I got bitten before I could shoot him. He also bit those women there. I had to kill them so they wouldn't cause another harm in the future. And am going to kill myself now.'

Max arm fell in total defeat. How could he not have noticed him. Now he has lost three lives due to his carelessness.

Some noises...

'Whats that? 'peter look around him

'Gosh, the gunshot!'Max realizes with bitterness,' They must have heard! 'Max voice out in a desperate voice just as the demons walk out from behind the bush.

OMG!!!! The man inside the bus jump outside with two guns and started to shoot at them.

'What do we do now?? '

Max close his eyes mentally, thinking of something,anything. It feels like a huge load was tied to his head

A soft scream..... Another one.... Max would recognize it anywhere, it belongs to his daughter.

What the....

Peter and Max both look at themselves and say at the same time, 'The others! '

The man look back briefly, 'You go save others, I will distract them here, 'he says and continue to shoot the demons.

Max and Peter takes to their heel, running as if their very life depended on it. It does actually, it really does

Max heart was racing as he was racing,he could not think of anything at that moment. It was like his head suddenly went blank. How could he fail in such a way. How could he not know the guy got bitten at the Mart. He just hopes he doesn't lose his daughter
