****** The Outbreak ******

Summary
     "...Lou, Its me and you against the world..."
Notes
     This is a work of fiction. This Started out as a writing project I
     made up in the 9th grade for my writing class but I took the idea and
     ran with it. Hope you guys like it.
The wood on the rusted door shook against aimless pounds.
 
Barricaded in his hotel room, Louis Tomlinson’s entire body was shaking
uncontrollably.
He was utterly alone, sweating profusely as it dripped off his forehead, down
his shapely nose and off the end of his hairy chin.
He could hear the creatures outside, trying to smash their way through the
doors of his weak hotel room.
The outbreak had him confined inside, left to live on the small amount of food
he had in there when the creatures had first come to life.
 
Louis had become increasingly thin, and he had hoped and prayed that someone
out there (Maybe a great enough fan) would come and rescue him, but no one did.
It turned out that in the face of danger, people leave their most loved
celebrities to fend for themselves as even his bodyguards had failed in
protecting him.
No one cared for him right now when there were flesh eating creatures prowling
viciously outside his barricaded door.
 
Louis had not bathed in weeks, and his smell was almost as putrid as the
Zombies themselves.
Tomlinson slumped down into his dirty bed, still hearing the moans of the
Undead. He was terrified, but he was used to them already.
 
They couldn't get in yet, but it was only a matter of time before they broke
through the door.
 
Louis sighed and gritted his teeth, lying down and feeling the regulated terror
running through his body…until he heard the loud explosion like crashes .
 
A gun?
 
Bang !
 
Bang!
 
Louis sat up slowly.
 
Bang!
 
Bang!
 
He heard the groans and screeches from the Zombies as the gun continued to
fire.
 
Bang!
 
Bang!
 
Louis leaped from the bed and ran to the door, pressing his ear to it.
 
Bang!
 
Bang!
 
He smiled, knowing that someone had come to save him. Someone cared.
Bang!
 
Bang!
 
There was suddenly silence. Louis grinned and unlocked the door, quickly
swinging it open to reveille a pile of dead Zombies on the floor, blood
splattered across the walls and the smell of rotting flesh filling the entire
hall.
 
He rapidly whipped his head around, looking for the person who had killed the
creatures in which to save him.
 
There was no one there.
 
LOUIS : “Hello?!”
He yelled loudly, trying to find the person who had rescued him from the
confines of his hotel room.
There was no reply.
 
LOUIS : “Hello? Anyone there?!”
 
He yelled again, braving further out of his room and jumping over lifeless,
blooded corpses.
 
Louis turned the corner hesitantly, finally seeing a black silhouette in front
of him, looking around frantically and holding a pistol in its hand.
 
LOUIS : “Excuse me!”
 
Louis shouted, drawing the silhouette’s attention.
 
The person turned, facing Louis, and he saw that the person who stood in front
of him was covered in a thick coating of blood.
 
ANDY : “Who is there?” The voice said and drew closer, until Louis finally saw
him.
 
Louis exhaled a sigh of relief He felt like crying tears of joy.
 
LOUIS : “Yes, thank god that you came! I knew There was hope!” Louis went to
hug the leLouis got closer to him , seeing his black makeup was running and
cuts covered his face.
 
Andy’s chest was bare and riddled in war paint and blood, his tattoos barely
visible under the thick coating of crimson liquid.
 
He wore his classic leather pants and combat boots, despite the current Zombie
situation.
Lead singer, the amazing man who had come to rescue him, until Andy lifted the
gun and pointed it to Louis’s head.
ANDY : "Stand back,” Andy warned as he was ready to pull the trigger that would
send a bullet straight through Louis’s head.
 
His Face dropped.
 
LOUIS : "Hey," he protested ," I'm not one of them."
 
Louis had been fighting for days. As far as strong as his spirit was , he
wasn't one of them.
 
ANDY: "How do I know you're not infected?," he then questioned as he pushed him
back with his double barrel to arms width.
 
LOUIS: "I-I'm not," He promised desperately.
 
Andy looked at him.
 
ANDY : "You smell like ass"
 
He lowered his gun, trusting Louis's word.
 
Louis exhaled and smiled.
 
LOUIS : "I know. I've been in there for days." He said as he really smelled
himself for the first time.
 
How long had he been in there?
 
LOUIS : "Oh goodness," He muttered, his accent made Andy Narrow his eyes at him
in observation.
 
ANDY : "Do I know you ?" he asked as he rested his gun against his foot in
thought.
 
Louis smiled showing slightly yellowed teeth
 
LOUIS: "You may. I'm Louis Tomlinson from One Direction-"
 
ANDY : "Get out,"He exclaimed as he erupted in laughter,"What ?! That's crazy
!"
 
LOUIS : "I know," Louis tried to agree but he had no idea who this guy was
besides someone who had saved his life
 
LOUIS :" And you are . . .?"
 
ANDY : "Andy Biersack,"
 
He then went back to his straightened expression
 
ANDY : “You need to be checked out, come on."
 
Louis wasn't hesitant to follow Andy down the hall and to where ever he was
going.
 
ANDY: "You need to see the doctor,"
 
he explained more as they stepped into the elevator. Louis paused for a moment.
 
LOUIS : "Is this safe ?"
 
As far as he knew, this was an Apocalypse and elevators were not safe in a fire
so they sure as hell weren't safe now.
 
ANDY: "They don't know how to work these things,"he explained," They can't even
walk up the stairs."
 
Louis wasn't falling for it
 
LOUIS: "No no no no no no- Then how did they get up here? This is the fourth
floor, you know."
 
ANDY:" They are the smart ones."
 
Louis looked behind him into the hall filled with blood and rotted human
insides then he sighed and got into the elevator with Andy.
 
|The doors closed|
 
 
 
 
A tracking shoot follows Andy’s hand as he gripped his gun and held louis back
with the other.The elevator doors opened out to the floor that looked like a
lobby.
 
Louis looked at Andy questioningly.
 
LOUIS: “What? What's wrong?”
 
Andy hushed him and told him to be careful
 
ANDY ”Shhh, watch your step”
 
Louis looked down and saw that there was a huge gap about a foot long in
between the elevator and the floor as if there was a small explosion. As he
looked out he saw a group of walkers swimming around in a almost motionless
circle. They moaned routinely as they continued to roam aimlessly.
 
Louis felt his face sink as he really saw the dead roaming in that circle. He
had been locked up in that room since this thing had took effect but he hadn’t
seen this in full effect.
 
He hadn’t seen these people who were infected. These people had lives. These
people at one point were alive.
 
Andy lead Louis away from the view of the dead and around the next corner where
it looked like Andy had gotten in from. They opened the emergency exit door and
Louis felt the sun on his face for the first time in weeks.
 
Andy lead Louis toward a large black army styled hummer that was parked outside
near the outbacks of the building.
 
They got in.
 
ANDY: “ We need to get to the safe house and get you checked out and put under
protection.”
 
LOUIS: “ Under protection?”
 
ANDY: “ Yeah.”
 
Louis didn’t want to ask what or where he was taking him exactly because lets
be honest, Louis didn’t have a whole lot of options to choose from in this
situation.
 
And he needed a shower.
 
Andy got into the truck and started onto the road.
 
ANDY: “Are you hungry?”
 
LOUIS: “ Yes.”
 
Louis answered without hesitation because he had been living off of the scraps
that weren’t spoiled in his hotel room. And that consisted of oreos, butter,
water and over priced liquor. He was feeling a bit sick.
 
Andy handed him something wrapped up in aluminum foil. It was warm and Louis
knew the smell of a philly cheese steak anywhere. He practically ate the
wrapping.
 
ANDY: “ Jesus fucking Christ .”
 
Louis: “Sorry I was starving”
 
Andy laughed to himself and handed Louis a gatorade.
 
LOUIS: “ Thank you.”
 
ANDY : “Welcome.”
Louis had noticed that the car was built up with weapons and barred windows.
From the looks of it the hummer looked like it had been modified with top
priority technology. The double barrel he had in the hotel seemed like nothing
compared to what Louis was looking at now. Guns, knives, explosives, and what
looked like many other illegal and deadly weapons. Louis even caught a glimpse
of a few small tanks in the back.
 
LOUIS: “ This is some automobile you got here.”
ANDY: “Thanks.”
 
Thanks ? Louis thought. This was scary. He hadn’t been this close to this many
weapons that could kill him. Thanks ?
 
Your welcome.
 
They got to the safe house in about 20 minutes. Louis was a bit surprised when
they had gotten there. He had imagined the safe house to be an actual house but
it wasn’t. It was practically a dome made of hard metal from the looks of it.
Andy drove up the the large black gates and they opened up and they entered.
 
 
Louis wondered to himself where were these people when he was facing the end of
the world by himself.
As they entered the facility Louis looked around in complete awe. When had this
place been built and why hadn't he seen it all this time? Probably because he
was trapped in a hotel room for what seemed like forever- he didn't want to
think about that now. All he could think about was getting to a bloody shower.
he felt so dirty and it was making him want to peel off his skin. He felt bad
because he felt like he was dirtying Andy's sweet ride just by sitting there.
He was glad to hop out of the automobile and into the building.
ANDY: "Haha we've got a British invasion ,Hendrix."
Louis looked up at a man who was Andy's height but much thinker and more built
with muscle then Andy was. He wore a black bandana on his head of long brown/
grey hair and his face was at a grumpy tough still. He was strapped with a gun
on both his thighs and one on his back from the looks of it. He was dressed in
all black and Louis swallowed hard as he stud somewhat behind Andy. He had no
idea who this man was but he was fearful of him. Louis had lost many of his
senses while he was locked up in that room. He hadn't yet realized that he had
melted down to a slight coward because he hadn't had any human interaction with
someone who's brains were leaking out of their ears and possessed the desire to
eat him. Hendrix smiled slightly at that realization.
HEDRIX: " Get him to the medic-"
ANDY: "I know."
Andy seemed to have seemed annoyed by the fact that Hendrix would think that he
wouldn't get Louis to the Medic or at least feel the need to say it blatantly
like Andy was a child. Andy frowned and lead Louis through the long silver hall
Hendrix had appeared from and unlocked a door on the left. From the looks of
it, this place wasn't just a big doom, it was a home. Am extremely large house
from the looks of it. Like a mansion. Louis hadn't recalled knowing any
mansions in the area but it seemed like a apocalyptic play-bunny house. Louis
was sorta digging it.
Andy got him to what looked like a legitimat Medical ward. Louis was impressed.
He had so many questions but he didn't feel like asking. andy didn't look like
the type for conversation. At least not with Louis. Louis sighed as Andy
motioned towards a bed for Louis to sit on. Louis didn't want to sit on the bed
because he was very dirty. Andy thought it was undestanable.
ANDY: "I'm sorry you can't shower yet. The water suply is something we are very
cautious of.If we let one sick person shower we all get sick.Its a system that
all the colonies have set up that we built and we share- Its complicated. I'll
explain later. We've got to get a doctor in here first."
 
Louis nodded and rested his head against the wall shutting his eyes. He was so
tiered. He had never been so tiered in his life. When Louis opened his eyes
Andy was gone and a Man in a woman in a pink and blue floral dress was in the
room now. Louis had guessed she was the nurse. He looked at her not knowing
what to do. She turned around from the messing about with the shelves and
smiled brightly at him.
Dr.Harper: "Hello, welcome abord. I'm Dr.Harper."
Louis couldn't find the words he wanted to say. He was so beat. He wanted to
shower.
Louis: "Is there a shower I can use anytime soon? I'm so filthy. I bet you can
smell me from here, dear god."
Dr.Harper smiled and laughed before picking up a clip board.
DR.Harper: "I understand and in a moment. I need to test your blood and take
your information."
Louis had waited patently while she went through the motions and he was so glad
when she directed him into one of many bathrooms. He had exhaled deeply as the
steam from the hot shower opened up his pores like rusted hinges. the shower
was glorious. He had shaved and he felt like a new man. He could believe that
before all of this he had even wanted a beard. It felt like he was shaving off
a filthy dirt of his honest skin. He felt amazing. He didn't even care if he
hadn't had any clean clothes to change into. He could walk around in his new
skin and this towel for the rest of his short lived life for all he cared, he
felt so new.
Just then there was a knock at the door and Louis opened it. There was a wide
eyed boy standing with a pile of clothes. The boy had a head full of brown
curly hair and he too was dressed in all black. He looked down at the clothes
as he spoke.
James: " Hi..uh, I'm Harry. Andy sent me up here to give you your uniform. He ,
uh..he wanted me to give these clothes..they're your uniform. F-for the team-
I mean the squad-I mean the group of fighter people things..uh."
Louis smiled as he took the clothes from the boy.
Louis: "Thank you, mate. Whats this about a fighter group team you're on
about?"
James finally looked up at him and shrugged," Hendrix and Andy's troops.
Rescues and defense squad I mean. K-kinda like a army."
Louis' eyes widened.
Louis: "Army? I think you've got the wrong bloke."
James: "Louis, right?"
Louis frowned. He took the clothes and sighed deeply. What would make Andy
think he could be in their little zombie fighting army?
Louis: "Thanks mate."
Louis shut the door and he got dressed in the "uniform" which was just a plain
black Mossimo shirt, a pair of black pants underwear socks and black doc
martins. Andy was lucky these clothes were fashionable. Where on earth did they
find these clothes to hand out in the middle of an apocalypse? Did they raid a
target or something? Maybe.
Louis looked at himself in the mirror. His hair had reached his shoulders and
he needed a hair cut. He had found a head band and a elastic and tied his hair
up. He looked a bit cleaner. It had been so long since he had seen his own
face. He sighed and sat on the floor of the bathroom for a moment.
He had suddenly felt so lonely. The young chap who had kindly bought hi his
clothes had slightly reminded him of Harry. It had been so long since he had
seen any of the lads. Everything happened so fast and Harry was being pulled
away from him before he knew it. A lump swelled in his throat as he remembered
the horrible scene. He had watch Harry being pulled into a massive crowed of
thous monsters. Louis was sure he was dead and his heart just couldn't take the
thought of it. He jumped at the sound of a bang on the door.
Hendrix:"Hurry it up princess. We ain't got all day. Get your ass out here!"
Louis opened the door to Hendrix ,Andy, and Louis heart stopped when he saw the
two chaps behind Andy.
Louis: "Liam , Zayn!"
Louis had attacked the two boys in tears. He couldn't believe this at all. He
had thought they were dead for sure he could not believe this at all.
Liam: "Lou, you're alive ! Oh god you're alive!"
Louis hadn't heard anything from Zayn because Zayn was in tears and he had
pulled Louis in a full on hug whe Liam let him go. Zayn was sobbing into Louis'
shoulder and Louis tried not to ball his eyes out as he patted his best
friend's head in reassurance.
Zayn: " God I thought you were dead for sure, Louis."
Hendrix:" I hate to be the one to break up the family reunion but someones got
an initiation to complete here."
Louis wiped his cheeks as he looked up at Hendrix. He frowned deeply and shook
his head.
Louis: "Whats all this jazz about an army and initiation-"
Hendrix:" I'm sorry but you didn't think you would just sit up in my colony
being pretty and sipping tea did you? All men fight. No exceptions. You pull
you keep. If you don't feel like it than you can leave Mr.Tomlinson."
Louis looked to Liam and Zayn who seemed a bit more jagged and rougher than he
remembered them last. liam looked down and his worn boots. Zayn wiped his eyes.
Louis:" Are you guys in this Army too?"
Liam and Zayn shook their heads in agreement. Louis couldn't believe this. He
didn't know how to fight in a bloody army.
Louis:" Whats this about colonies? What-"
Liam: "There are ten colonies. We're colony A sector 1, mate. Its like
countries but , uh, not really."
Louis looked at the three taking it all in. He finally looked to Zayn and he
hesitated before asking.
Louis: "Harry..Have you guys heard from him-Do you know if he's-"
Zayn: "He's Here but he's in sector 2."
Louis heart skipped a few beats before he exhaled and swallowed deeply.
Louis:" Whats that?- Can I see him? I-"
Hendrix:" After your initiation."
Louis rolled his eyes.
Louis: "Bloody hell. I am not a army guy. I-I have not idea what you expect me
to do. I could hardly get out of that bloody room. If tall dark and scary
didn't come to my rescue I would be dead."
Andy smiled a bit but he hadn't seemed to be saying much. His smile faded as
soon as it had come.
Hendrix: "We need men and you just happen to be one. Like I said, no
exceptions."
Louis scoffed at the thought of Harry with a gun in a post apocalyptic militia.
He almost laughed.
Louis:" So Harold is in your little militia? Hows that working out?"
Hendrix:" Harry is a alarm boy and cook. He's no solider."
Louis:" Alarm boy?"
Hendrix smiled slightly.
Hendrix: " You ever heard of live bait?"
Louis' heart dropped to his stomach. Live bait?
Louis: " Bait for what?"
No one said anything. Zayn and Liam didn't say anything.
Louis:" Where the bloody fuck is Niall?"
Zayn's eyes went glossy again. Liam swallowed and Louis could tell that he was
about to say something that he didn't want to hear.
Liam: "Mate-"
Louis:" Don't-"
Liam:"He's not dead. Its just that Niall has just sorta gone... rouge. He don't
belong to our Colony. He's one of the rebels..We haven't spoken to him since
the day he left us."
Hendrix: "I'll be back in an hour. You better be ready for your initiation,
Tomlinson. I'm not going to keep waiting on you."
Louis rolled his eyes and he followed Zayn And Liam down a hall and down a
stair case as they countiued to speak.
Louis: " He's gone rouge? What does that mean?"
Liam:" The colonies are run by generals. Like a president I guess. Each general
has its right hand man called the vice. Thats our government and power
basically.Some people don't agree with it so they take off and leave the
colonies and take off on their own."
Louis:" You mean to tell me Niall is out there on his own among those monsters
just because he doesn't like Hendrix the buff? Why didn't you guys stop him?"
Zayn:" We tried but he wouldn't have it. He said he wouldn't let his baby be
born into this."
Louis stopped at the last stair and his heart stopped once again.
Louis:" Baby?"
Zayn nodded and Liam shrugged like it was old news.
Liam:"Yep. He uh...met someone."
Louis:" WHY THE BLOODY HELL WOULD YOU HAVE A BABY RIGHT NOW?"
Liam:" It wasn't planned clearly."
Louis:" You let poor Niall go out into the chaos with a baby-"
Liam:" He's with his pack and mate...trust me he's safer out there then he is
in here.."
Louis stopped to look at Liam. What did he mean by that?
Louis:" What do you mean?"
Liam looked at his hands and than looked around the corner to make sure there
weren't anyone listening. He looked back to Louis who was standing besides
Zayn.
Zayn: "All he's saying is that this place isn't all its cracked up to be. Don't
let the running water and bulletproof walls fool you."
 
Louis swallowed hard.
