Chapter Three - Unexpected Intrusion

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The tents where crowded, the sheets in the tents were wet with sweat and some with traces of various liquids not to be spoken of. They smelled bad, looked bad, and weren't fit for sleeping in.  The three got rid of the sheets and saved them for a camp fire when someone could stand guard in case of other raiders.  They were all tired; Vinyl and Octavia had been traveling all day, Carrot Top had been beaten, raped, and tormented all day, and it was about 7:49 PM.  Carrot Top went to bed at about 7:53, and went to sleep at 7:56. Octavia went to bed and to sleep about ten minutes after.

As for Vinyl, she wasn't as tired as the others and decided to stay outside and feel the cool summer breeze of the night. After feeling the wind calmly blow though her mane, she heard something she didn't like.  She looked over and saw another dark figure with no forelegs. She knew it was a zed, but not one she had ever seen before. She took out her magnum and got a flash light.  Then, she slowly walked up to the thing, and when she shined the light on it's face it let out a deafening scream.  She shot it immediately and ran back to the tent that Carrot and Octie were in.

"What in Equestria was that?!" Octavia asked trembling with fear, Carrot Top came out of her tent to enter the conversation.

"I don't know, I know it screams and it attracts the horde, these guys have lots of AK-47's and ammo for them, they also have some Desert Eagles. It's a lot better that...little..." Vinyl said looking at Octavia's M12 Nova Pistol. "Poor excuse of a pistol, now come on I can hear the zeds hurry up!" Octavia dropped her M12 and picked up two Desert Eagles. Carrot Top took the M12, and Vinyl got an AK-47.  "Here they come!!!" She shouted holding up her weapon. About twenty-six zeds burst through the camp entrance.  Before shooting Vinyl looked at the dead corpse of the rapist they never got rid of.  She had a plan.  She walked over to it and took out her knife, then she cut out both his eyes with a large piece of flesh off his face.

"HEY ZOMBIES!" she shouted, waving the flesh in the air with her bloody hand.  All the zeds looked at her. She threw the flesh over in the middle of the camp to distract them. "COME AND GET IT!" All of the zeds ran over to get the meat. They started fighting each other, which killed off about half of them.  All three of the mares fired their weapons at the zeds, with the exception of Carrot Top, who fired once and fell back from the fire power of the weapon. Once all the zeds had been killed, Octie helped Carrot Top up off the ground.

"You might need a little practice with that weapon," Octavia said laughing.

"Yeah...I guess so," Carrot Top said, picking the pistol back up. "I've never shot a gun before, not even a dart gun."

"Well, it's  time you learn how."

When they all had went to sleep, it seemed as if they had rested for two minutes and woke up.  It was 11:53 in the morning, and Carrot Top had to learn how to shoot.  Octavia, being the first to wake up and get out of bed, went ahead and prepared a little somethin'-somethin'.  She grabbed some planks and a hammer from the base. She poked the planks into the ground and used the hammer to make them stay.  It was exactly three planks, about two meters each in lenth, six and a half centimeters in width.  She drug all of the corpses to each plank, on the exception of the rapist, who Vinyl had earlier made sure to keep to herself for other zed attacks. Octavia grabbed three long nails and used the hammer to jab them through the face of the three dead stallions to keep them up on each plank. When she was done, she put up the tools and went to Carrot's tent.

"Psst...Carrot Top," She whispered, poking Carrot Top repetitively.

"Wh...what?" Carrot asked half awake.

"I have your target range set up," Octavia said again.

"Oh...okay I'll..I'll be there in a minute..." Carrot said reluctantly.  After a while she finally got up and walked outside to see the targets and Octavia holding out the M12 Nova with a smile.

"Ready?" She said.

"Oh, heck yeah," Carrot said with a grin on her face.
