xxxxxxxxxx i'm definitely no DAMSEL in DiiSTRESS

- Cole, obviously, was still annoying as ******** and Alex wanted to just pull a knife out randomly and drive it into his ribcage. The way he looked at her; it was as if she wasn't good enough for him. The girl supposed that this was based on her gender; he was sexist, wasn't he? He probably thought he was the best one out of the three of them, because Jamie was a little boy and she was a woman. How disgusting, the way he thought was just revolting. Of course, now wasn't the time to argue nor disagree but Alex just couldn't help but glaring at him. He gave her a glare back, like that was the natural thing to do. Although tempted to say something about the way Cole was treating her, Alexandria didn't and focused her attention onto Jamie, who felt the need to examine the corpse of a zombie. The kid was disgusted by the texture of the dead figure, although Alex didn't blame him. At the mere sight of it, let alone the atrocious odor coming off of it, she was tempted to throw up. However, that would show that she was weak in the area of holding herself in, which would probably give Mr. ******** something to tease her about. Or hold against her. Or anything Cole can use to make her angry; she hadn't even known him for half an hour and already she wanted to take her crowbar and swipe it across his face. Then again, there was something about him, something about his stubborn-ness and the way he thought he was really badass that kind of reminded her of herself... and a little bit of her dead fiance. Maybe the whole fiance part was because she missed him, not because Cole could ever be compared to her deceased lover. Or ex-lover, now. Still. "That's sooo gross," she managed to muster out, holding her breath in attempt to stop herself from gagging. She hadn't really stayed around a dead zombie for much longer, usually she'd freak out and kill one miraculously, but be too grossed out to stick around.
Rolling her eyes at the way Cole was treating Jamie, Alex wasn't even the least bit surprised. She could tell that he was just somebody who liked to be in charge; and boss other people around. And Jamie, well, he was the good guy, the guy who tried to remain positive. Alex had to admit it, though, the kid's got guts. Not everybody, at the tender age of twelve or thirteen, could withstand the fact that their world was now being raided by brain-hungering zombies. ********. And what was just a hell lot better was the fact that after Cole had pulled the doors open, allowing light to enter, revealing a whole pack of groaning zombies, their target obviously aimed and pointed at Cole, Alex, and Jamie. Wonderful. As if meeting Cole wasn't bad enough, the sad part was she had to die with him. Next to him. Spend her few moments alive glancing at his face, which had the most amazing eyes and perfect cheekbones. Alexandria shuddered; uncertain whether it was from the thought of being married or even just dating Cole... or the fact that they were now labeled a quick snack of some really annoying zombies. Jame was freaking out; assuming he was going to die. To be honest, Alexandria felt the same way. There were just too many zombies... not enough time nor humans to defend themselves. They could run away; like always, but Alex was tired of doing that. She longed to fight against the zombies, proving them that she was really actually strong. Not that they would honestly really care, though. They were zombies, after all. "Ohhhh s**t," Alexandria whispered, biting her bottom lip and for some strange reason found herself moving closer into Jamie. She wasn't sure if this was if she wanted to protect the kid, make sure she was going to be okay, or have him protect her. Then again, both options or rather theories were stupid. One, because it was quite obvious that a little scrawny kid like Jamie wouldn't be able to protect her. Second of all, because she barely knew the little boy, which meant she probably didn't have much compassion or anything for him.
Right about now, getting out alive was the most important thing. At least, her safety was the main importance. She barely knew Jamie, and he was a little boy, so she had a little sympathy for him. However, Cole, she was annoyed with. Alexandria liked calling the shots, but it was quite obvious that right about now it was Cole calling them. What was so good about him, though, other than his appearance? It wasn't like he was brilliant (actually, Alex wasn't quite sure but still. Anybody who has really bad aim couldn't be that smart), and it wasn't like he was completely badass. Sure, he killed a zombie, but with the help of Alexandria. I mean, if she wasn't there to smack the zombie across the face with the metal crowbar, it could have just shot up and tackled Cole. He'd be dead then. Soooo, in honesty, Alex felt that she should be the one in charge. And to determine who was calling the shots, it was obviously dawning on the gun right about now. That was probably their main point of survival, it wasn't like she could do much with this piece of metal, anyways. And Alex also had a theory, zombies may be dead but they still needed human flesh to survive. Maybe if she ran away long enough, or avoided the zombies long enough, there would be a chance they would die of hunger and starvation before they got to her. Actually, Alex was determined to accomplish it. She was certain that she was able to fight off zombies, and prove to herself that she was good enough. If anything, she could probably push Cole into the zombies and use him as a distraction while she ran off. Yeah, that would actually be perfect. It wasn't like the boy was going to be good for anything else, too. And if he was the one in charge, the one calling the shots, it was only inevitable that they were just going to get killed. I mean, just take a look at the guy. He didn't look like he could come up with a plan, nor care much about his teammates... which in this scenario would actually be Alex herself and Jamie. Cole was useful, but only to a small extent; Alex preferred being the leader here... that way she would ensure safety. Her plans, after all, where brilliant. And fool-proof, of course.
Since her plan was basically to survive until all the zombies basically starved, Alex's current main goal was to stay alive. Which meant that she needed a strong, effective, not some measly crowbar that she had once thought was going to work. No. Alex needed something badass... something like that gun Cole was holding... the gun that determined who was leading the pack. "Okay. Give me your gun, I think it'd be a better idea if I handled it." He stared at her. "Don't worry, I'll come back for you." Jamie, maybe, but not Cole. He could stay behind and die for all she cared. Okay, so she did care, just a little bit. Alex would admit, he was rather cute, something about him, maybe his perfect cheekbones ceased her from admiring. However, when he said something with the bad word "********" in it, it had caught Alex's attention. She narrowed her eyes, now glaring at him rather dangerously. Was he saying no to her? Obviously. He should honestly reconsider it, though. "Oh, come on, we all know I kick the most a** here." That was true, though. Cole may think whatever he wanted, but the truth will always be, Alex owned. He said something awfully terrible, and then Alex's mouth pushed out into a pout. He was really mean... and stubborn... and an a*****e... and deserved to be dead. "Geez, I'm just trying to help." Alex snapped back bitterly, crossing her arms in front of her, her expression reading something like, "You wanna fight b***h?" Instead of being the nice little gentleman Cole really should be, he only smirked at her and said something along the lines of, "Yeah? You wanna be helpful? Then throw yourself out there as a decoy while Jamie and I get the hell out of here." Ha, ha, ha, ******** ha. Realllllllllllllllllllly funny. Except not really. He was an a*****e AND cracked really stupid jokes. Wow. Two bad traits in one person. Before Alex could come up with something to say back, little boy Jamie interrupted.
"Uh, hello? Sorry, but speaking of zombies, they're headed this way!"
Immediately, Alex turned her attention from the really bit s**t-headed a*****e in front of her and back at the flesh-hungry zombies. ********. She had been so caught up with arguing with Cole, she had barely even noticed that they were getting even closer. Glancing around frantically, in attempt to find the perfect solution to this near-death situation, Alex's eyes were snagged when she noticed a window on top of the counter. "This way!" she said, grabbing the sleeve of Cole for some reason. Sure, she could have just motioned for him to come, but it seemed to be more affective if she dragged him. Alex climbed up onto the counter, pushing the window a little bit more open that it had once been. "s**t, that's a long way down." Alex murmured, and just as she was about to turn around and find another way out, she felt a strong pair of arms that grabbed her around the waist, pushing her out the window. [********] Alex called out as she fell down onto the hard bushes that occupied the spot outside of the window. The fall hadn't hurt too bad; she landed on her back, and forced herself to block out the little numb feeling of pain. Not too long after she fell, Cole's familiar figure came tumbling down out the window. Fortunately, Alex rolled away to the side quick enough so she wouldn't get crushed. "I really appreciate you pushing me out the window." she snarled, and then got up quickly. Her eyes scanned the area, glad to notice that zombies weren't bright enough to search nor surround the back of the building. "Let's go." Alex pushed herself up from the prickly bushes, pushing her hair out of her face as she tried to look for a possibly safe place to stay at. "These zombies really aren't that smart." That was so true, though.
It wasn't until the two of them, Alexandria and Cole, were arguing once again that they finally noticed something was wrong-- no Jamie to interrupt them. Then again, there was no Jamie at all. They both seemed to notice that at the same time, seeing as the girl looked at Cole and he looked at her, at the same time, with the same expression. It read, "Oh s**t, did we just leave the kid?!" None of them seemed to have the guts to say it, though. Before Cole could, Alexandria spoke up, blaming everything on him. "It was your fault! You left him!" Okay, so it was both of their faults. Her fault for making him leaving without Jamie... and Cole's fault for not pushing the little boy out the window like he had done with Alex. They needed to go get him; fast. Before the zombies got to him, of course. She didn't understand, where did he just randomly disappear off to? After agreeing (for once) to go back for the little ally of theirs, the two of them decided to charge into the building without any game plan. It wasn't like zombies were too bright anyways, right? Scrambling around the building, the two of them peered through the window quickly and noticed Jamie hiding himself on top of a shelf, dropping dictionaries and holy bibles on the zombies frantically. "Jamie!" Alex called, pounding at the window for some reason, although she was aware it wasn't very smart. Jamie, however, was too occupied with attempting to give zombies brain damage that he hadn't noticed neither Cole nor Alex. Glancing at the entrance, it appeared that all the disgusting creatures had already made their way inside. "How are we going to distract them?" Alex whispered to Cole. He ignored her for a second, as if he was thinking this through. They currently had their backs against the front of the building, peering weakly through the shattered front door, hoping, wishing, praying that nothing would happen to Jamie. For some reason, Alex felt the same way. She had expected herself to screw the kid over, but obviously right now she was risking her life in attempt to save him.
Speaking of risking her life, she felt Cole grab her arm. Hard. Before she could twist away, he pulled her from the side, then pushed her through the front entrance. The girl stumbled forward then fell to the ground. Immediately, after the slight THUD sound the fall had created, the monsters' ears perked, and their heads turned around. At the sight of an easy-access meal that wasn't hiding herself on top of a shelf, shoveling heavy bibles down on you, they began shuffling at Alex. Really now?! My life for Jamie's?!?! Alexandria thought bitterly, noticing Cole sneaking in as all the zombies began to focus their attention on her. A part of her wanted to run, but the other part knew she was far too nervous. She forced herself up, knowing very well that if she just stayed onto the ground they'd just lunge at her and she'd be gone. For good. As soon as she managed to stand despite the fact that she was secretly freaking out and definitely fuming about Cole's random betrayal, the first zombie took its' first attack on her, throwing itself towards her. Through the rotting skin, Alex noticed the face of a woman who probably would have been amazingly gorgeous, but now obviously wasn't the time to admire something. She quickly stepped back, feeling her heart beat louder and louder. From the corner of her eye, Alex caught sight of Cole getting Jamie down from the top of the shelf. I'm going to kill him. Yes. Yes she would. She'd rip off Cole's head, and then leave his bodies for zombies to devour. He was so dead, throwing her away like that. Lost in thought and anger, Alex hadn't really focused much on the zombie until it threw it's arm at her, scratching her in the process. It wasn't a very deep wound, though. "Did you just scratch me?!" she demanded at the creature, although it was quite obvious it wouldn't be able to respond to her. Gathering all the courage she had, Alexandria swung the crowbar across its' face, just like she had done to the first one. It staggered back in pain, making a terrified cry, encouraging more zombies to close in on her. Three more stepped up, and Alex had managed to push one back with the end of her useless piece of metal, and hit another twice in the face and once in the arm. The third one, however, had somehow gotten her off guard, flinging itself towards her. And the sad part was, it probably would have gotten her if it wasn't for Cole, who shot off a bullet and killed it off.
Trembling, Alex found it hard to move but Cole grabbed her by the arm, and started to run out of the place with her in tow. At first, Alex was tripping just a little, but eventually she regained composure and told herself she couldn't let Cole know she had been freaked out. Pulling her arm away from his grasp, the three of them (this time, they made sure Jamie was here as well), they were running aimlessly, despite the fact that a whole mob of zombies were following them. You know, zombies really didn't run nor walk as fast as she had predicted. "Where do we go?" she asked when they stopped for a little, panting hard to breathe. Alex couldn't remember the last time she had ran since the whole end of the world thing, maybe back in high school when she had physical education as a required class. Finally able to catch her breath, Alex glanced up and noticed a gas station. Without saying anything else, she quickly made her way across the street and onto 7-11. There was a small compact car, the back window and the driver's window smashed, the gas pump still in tact, though. Deciding that this would be a good way of transportation until the gas died out, Alex yanked the gas pump nozzle out of the side of the car, freeing it. As she made her way around, she found somebody in her spot-- the driver's seat. Cole. Obviously, this had been her idea, what gave him the right to drive?! "I'm driving!" she whined, surprised at the fact that she was still picking an argument when there were flesh-eating creatures heading for them. Cole said something along the lines of her getting in the car or being left behind, then he started the engine, making it clear he wasn't going to wait for her. Making a face, the blonde noticed their enemies approaching closer, and hurried onto the other side of the car, letting herself in the shotgun seat. As Cole drove away, the only thing Alex could think about was how much of an a*****e he was. She was fuming so much she had forgotten about the stinging pain one of the zombies left...
