The streets were filled with the sound of a blaring megaphone which the police captain used to give the creatures warnings in the hopes of calming the aggressors down through dialogue,this attempt proved to be futile as the masses attacked the policemen without any hesitation "FIRE!!" The captain yelled, gunshots flew from the officer's guns as they opened fire indiscriminately, but Aiden was quick to notice that they were making the very same mistake he had made at first by treating these beings as humans and going for body shots and as expected these things didn't go down but kept charging at the officers with ferociousness, the officers wouldn't last long, of that Aiden was very sure, as he shifted his gaze back to the dead bodies he noticed that some had already stood back up and were joining in the frenzy "Interesting" he whispered but a sudden argument that broke within the bar made him turn .
"Get the hell out of my way you little turd, you led those bastards right here" thundered a lady that had done absolutely nothing but hide until that very moment
"You don't under-" The man who had entered prior to the beginning of the attack was unable to complete his sentence before a male customer landed a blow to his face " I need to make sure my daughter is okay fucker, stop blocking the way before I beat you senseless"
Aiden observed the situation with a blank expression before saying "I doubt that going outside will do us any good, there is something wrong with the bodies,they are m-"
"Keep your observations to yourself I'm out of here" as the lady spoke she unlocked the door and ran out closely followed by the man, others in the bar hesitated before running out themselves into the street littered in corpses.
Aiden glanced at Kara for a second and found her still in her father's arms "Well it seems it is just us now......" he said to the man on the floor who was slowly trying to get back on his feet expecting an introduction "Jonas, my name is Jonas and we need to get out of here now! And not through that street" Kara was terrified by the situation and could barely ask "But why?"
However, before Jonas could reply, loud screams came from outside, but what made the situation even more devastatingly scary was the fact that the voices screaming had been in the bar just few seconds ago "That's why!!!!when they kill you,you become one of them,those people laying out there aren't dead.......they are turning, so I will ask once again, is there anyway out of here except through that main door " Aiden noticed how Jonas seemed to have gotten over his shock and fear but this raised the question of whether he was just acting earlier and actually did lead those animalistic beings to them, also the station was indeed not too far from here but Aiden highly doubted that Jonas had ran from the station all the way to the bar.
Kara's father on the other hand instantly swung into action "Follow me"
He led them into the inner room of the bar that turned out to be a storage too, with bags of coffee seeds and flour placed in order and in the middle of the room was a wooden table,the old man climbed the table and forced one of the ceiling panels up with a broom stick and placed the panel on the table,thus,revealing a passage that could be navigated through crawling
"Dad why do you have this?"
"It's just a precaution I took back in the days when I first got this place" He said with a smile that just had a glint of mischief for some reason.
Kara's father outstretched his arms towards Kara, she was his number one priority and he only cared about her safety, the other two gentlemen present were mere extras, luggages, expendables to him,people he was aiding just out of the goodness of his heart.
With one heave he was able to help Kara climb while supporting her, once she was up he then said "Keep going straight pumpkin, don't take any turns they are detours"
"Yes dad" As she crawled forward his heart was relieved, his everything was safe.
"Would the two of you mind helping an old man up" the two men clearly didn't buy the ploy but helped anyway, as he found himself in the hole the old man started crawling without looking back, whatever happened to those men was none of his business.
A loud set of bangs on the main bar door brought back the tension for the two remaining men .
"PLEASE OPEN UP WE WERE WRONG TO LEAVE" the supplications were followed by more bangs that easily brought down the already weakened bar door
"Where are they, what the hell are we going to do now?" Said a second voice, Aiden recognised the voices as those of the man and lady that ignored all warnings and led the people out, now the police gun shots were nothing but a memory and the sound of the creatures was obviously getting closer to the bar, they were coming.
"Should we help them?" Aiden asked casually but Jonas immediately replied "Of course not, they are goners let's get out of here" Aiden nodded and then raised Jonas, as he did this screams filled the bar.
"NO PLEASE NO!!!" The man yelled,the creatures had obviously entered at this point.
" I HAVE A SON, WHAT DO YOU WANT? MONEY?I HAVE MO-" The screams were slowly drowned by the foot steps and grunts of the several creatures that entered the bar.
Aiden hastily leapt towards the hole in the ceiling but unfortunately caused the panel on the table to fall to the ground,a painful moment of silence followed before several foot steps rushed towards the storage room,Aiden tried to heave himself upwards but his foot was grabbed from below and he found himself unable to heave both bodies (so this is how I go? I am disappointed ,I expected something much more interesting) he thought.
A split second before more hands could grab his ankle, a firm grip dragged him upwards and away from danger.
"Thank you" he said with his usual monotonous voice.
"You don't look or sound glad to be alive" Jonas replied
"Is that so?" Aiden looked down at the scores of hands raised towards the ceiling in the hopes of grabbing an unreachable target,they could see despite their complete lack of pupils and they could obviously hear too, Aiden's gaze shifted and fell upon the lady that first left the bar, she was reanimated and not even a mere shadow of her former self, she didn't seek her daughter any longer but human flesh, she could move so she wasn't dead and she was mindless so she wasn't alive,she was just.......UNDEAD.
