((Kk...))
He raised his gun, his night specs over the scope, and moved the door open with his bad arm. The beast couldn't live it it didn't have a head. Nothing could for long.

He stepped onto the narrow stairs leading to the floor of the basement. Nothing to be seen yet except a few dead bodies and a blood. Kevin normally would by going around covering the bodies, but he wasn't here for that. He checekd unedrneath the tables that he had found the beast had faoverd while fighting him. Then when he looked at the table with the little girl, Kevin saw that during the fight he had accidently torn her head from her body. Poor thing didn't deserve this.

Kevin continued his search until he found a trail of what resembled blood, leading to the elevator shaft that lead upwards. He hit the open button and hopped in, checking every corner of the shaft. Then he saw her. The beast was dangling from the elevator cables, holding on to them with her hand while she licked the wound he had inflicted on her leg. She hadn't seen him yet, but the sight was disturbing. When Kevin raised his sniper to get a good shot, the beast turned towards him and screamed, her face bleeding horribly from the eyes and mouth. Probably from her brains exploding or from Templars carbine.

She leapt down towards him, but he was a little to fast, so he fired and hit her point blank in the chest. She was incredible, she went limp for a moment, and then recoverd, snagged the elevator cables, and started climbing across the sides of the shaft, he couldn't get a good shot.

She eventually got close enough for Kevin to fire, when she quickly leaped from one side to the other and then back to the side he was on, slipping inside of the open elevator door that led to the first floor. One thing Templar hadn't taken into account when he locked her in here, the elevator shafts. Now the beast was starting its way upstairs.

Kevin instantly ran back into the basement and up the stairs, stepping in blood from who-knows-who on his way. Now his shoes where completely blood red, he left footprints behind as he ran. He slipped on his way up the first fliggth of stairs from the bsaement, and luckily to, since the beast had been waiting and leaped down on him, missing him as he fell backwards. He started to tumble down the stairs and slammed his head on the wall, it hurt, but he was conscious, so he quickly drew his M9 and fired, the pistol shot bounced off the beast as it screamed and started charging again. Kevin quickly searched for his rifle as the bloody-eyed beast encroached rapidly.

He found it under him, he ahd landed on it on the way down. It was damaged, probably only good for two or three more shots. He quickly raised it and fired, missing her by an inch to her right, although the explosive property damaged her leg ever so slightly and she screamed, turning and dashing back up the stairs.

Kevin couldn't let it get to the others, Templar Aari, Conners, Nevers.
If they die... He wouldn't have a ride.
He lied to himself as he continued after the beast. It had made it's way onto the third floor, half of which was incomplete. Next came the fourth floor, which was the roof since the real roof hadn't been finished. The beast continued its constant screaming on its way up and Kevin continued firing at it with his pistol, and running out of that, his MP5. He would use his rifle again only as a last resort, or if he had a way to kill it easily. When Kevin stepped out of the door leading to the hallway from the stairwell, he looked up and down the hall, not seeing anything, he wasn't going to be surprised again, so he instantly looked up with his MP5 a the ready and fired at the beast who was clinging to the broken lights hanging from the ceiling. The hall was dark, but not quite as dark as the basement, as such he didn't need his night vision specs to see the beast.

The beast ignored the bullets and screamed as loud as he had ever heard it scream, it charged him again, mouth wide opon. He had to use his rifle, so he instantly drew it and more slammed than cocked it back as he fired nearly simultaneously, nailing it diretly in the head. It flew back, several meters, and lay still for a moment, but then stood again. This thing was invincable!

Keivn turned back to the beast, since he had turned away when he thought he had killed it, and realized he was dead if he didnt think of something fast. The beast charged again, but this time with a limp. It was weaker, but he didnt... wait... yes he did. He had something he could use. He raise his rifle again, aiming at the beast, and as it rememmbered the pain from the rifle, it shudered, but it just made itmoore angry and it ovvercame its limp and charged. Kevin loaded the grenade launcher.

"Crazy bitch."

He fired, the grenade slamming inot the ground in front of it, shrapnel tearing into her flesh, and into his, although he was taking much less, maybe two or three fragments. The beast took nearly the full brunt of it. It fell, once again, and raised once again. It was even more angry, but could barely move besides scream and run. Its arms and head where limp, so it was strange hearing the scream with the head being so limp and it staring at the ground. It charged again. Kevin had one more trick up his sleeve, and regardless if it worked, he doubted it could kdamage him to the point of death in its current state. Then it raised its head, and he knew it could still bite him. He needed to use the hand grenades.

He ripped off the entire sash of grenades, plucking all four of the pins from each of them, holding the sash against the ground as to hold down the pressure levers. When the beast was judged to be close enough, Kevin let go and ran the other direction as fast as he could. The pressure gauges released and Kevin counted the seconds as he ran.

"1...2....3....4..."

The beast was almost on top of the grenades.

"5....Boom."

The grenades exploded, Kevin about ten meters away on ones side, but the beast directly on top of them. Kevin felt the dozens of tiny piecs of metal rip through his shirt and into his skin. He shouldn't have discarded his bullet proof vest. A humongous boom and earthquake resounded all through and around the hospital. There was no distrucion to the hospital save the area surrounding the blast zone. Kevin wasn't sure if he had killed the beast, but he was losing to much blood to just sit there. How would it look if he came back up looking like this and the beast was STILL alive. He didn't even check to see as he stood and limped his way to the stairs and his way up. He made it to the top of the stairs and shoved the door open with the hand that wasn't filled with metal fragments and took a few steps towards one of the ammo crates, leaning against it as he ignored,the others.

"Well... I think I killed it..."

Then he fell unconscious. Unconscious or dead? He wasn't sure. If it was death it was better then Kevin thought it would be. Total peace and calmness. Of course, the illusion was broken by the sound of the others voices, but he liked it for the moment, to pretend to be dead.

Indeed, the creature moved no more. Even though it was mostly in one piece still, it was finally dead. Silence echoed throughout the building for the first time since the creature had risen from the shadows.

Templar watched the stairwell the whole night and when morning came, he didn't move until Connors came back down and got him. There was a small campfire going and Nevers was cooking what looked like scrambled eggs. He noted that Kevin was lying across the floor of the helicopter that Connors was flying. Someone must have moved him and bandaged his wounds.

Templar shrugged as he grabbed a serving of the eggs that Nevers was handing out in small metal tins as well as a small fork. It was part of the survival gear they had taken with them. It tasted pretty good considering what he had been eating the past year. He drank from a pouch of water as he sat on one of the ammo boxes. They were waiting for anyone else to wake up. All the military personnel were either wide awake or in the middle of getting up. The sun wasn't even really poking out of the mountain tops yet...

Aari woke more out of restlessness than anything. All night she tossed and turned, worrying that the creature would reach the civilians on the roof. When her eyes finally opened and came into focus she noticed someone had bandaged Kevin and moved him to the copter in which she slept. She could hear quiet voices outside and the small clacking noises of utensils against tin. With the blanket wrapped around her shoulders she exited the copter and sat next to Templar, still somewhat asleep so she didn't say anything, but relieved to see he wasn't dead.

Templar273 · #**476** (**permalink**) 10-14-2008

The sun had just started to peak up from the mountain tops but it was subtle and probably wouldn't awaken anyone. Nevers walked over and handed Aari a plate of the eggs. "Morning. Glad to see you among the living still. You should eat or you will lose strength."

Templar had scooched over to let Aari sit down next to him when she came out. Templar nodded to Aari in reassurance. "Good morning. Well, it's only 6:45 but it's close enough...I guess the first order of business is to find out who that guy is and what happened with Kevin." He nodded over to the man still asleep by the door.

CruelIntentions · #**477** (**permalink**) 10-14-2008

Aari picked at her eggs, tasting a small bit of it. They looked abnormal but tasted pretty good. She was never much of an egg person but they tasted all right. She looked up at Templar.

"Did you and Kevin end up finding out what the thing was, and did you guys kill it?" She asked.

Templar273 · #**478** (**permalink**) 10-14-2008

"You'll have to ask him when he wakes up. I just stood watch all night. I know he left and came back within a ten minute span." He took a bite and looked at the small fire on the roof. It was welcome against the nippy air of the mountains. There was dew on the helicopter windows.

Kevin wasn't dead. That much luck had eluded him again. The strange people had bandaged and saved his life, but had been completely reluctant to save Way. He could never understand them. Kevin was the one they had been taught to hate and dispise, and dispite all else, they had let Way die and Kevin live. They where either uncomprehensibly noble, deluded, or stupid. It was hard to tell, they never acted the same twice in one day, and he had only been with them for about two days anyway. Three? He wasn't sure, he hadn't kept track. All he knew is the body count of the zombies he had killed. He was at 44 and since last night, 45.

He sat up where he had slept, but instantly felt the extreme pain in his left arm, right leg, and his back. Then he rememmbered the grenades. A stupid way to kill it, but it was the only way, and it had worked. The beast was dead. Finally. Kevin was proud of himself. He had saved at least... how many of them where there? Without Way there where... 59? He stood up, trying to erase the thoughts of last night, and fighting through the pain, begane towards Templar and Aari.

Aari looked over as she saw someone coming towards them in the corner of her eye. She gave Kevin a small nod of recogonition before continuing to eat her breakfast. Besides her head hurting she felt all right, and well except being a little cold.
