Equestria of the Dead
Chapter 9
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next morning, Rarity wore a confused look on her face as Sunset avoided eye contact with everyone. Her face was bright red; especially when she was sitting next to Twilight and Spike. "S-So, who are we waiting for?" she asked.
"One of our mechanics, Lockup, will be driving down the street soon." Rarity answered. "Just be on the look out for a bright purple van."
Just then, Cream Heart slowly made her way into the living room from the kitchen with a terrified look on her face. "Um, everyone, w-we have a problem." she said. Cream slowly pointed towards the kitchen which prompted Spike and Button to head over. The two boys looked out the window over the sink and were shocked to find a horde of zombies in the backyard. They couldn't tell how many there exactly were, but there was enough to overpower all of them in a second if they alerted them. The zombies themselves seemed to just either be standing around, or just aimlessly walking about; bumping into one another. The two boys carefully backed away and reentered the living room.
"There's a horde of them right outside." Spike said in a low tone. "There's too many to fight off. How's the front looking?"
Sunset headed over to the window and peeked outside; witnessing multiple zombies in the streets. "Not good. They have us surrounded." she said.
"Where did they come from?" Twilight asked. "You don't think it was from that truck explosion yesterday."
"Wouldn't rule it out." Rarity answered as she made her way to peek out the window as well. "My theory is that Neighsay's guards attempted to fight back, but got overwhelmed in the process and either ran away, or were bitten and turned in the process."
"So what do we do?" Cream asked.
"The way I see it, we have two choices." Rarity answered. "Either we stay here and risk these zombies finding us, or we take a chance and meet Lockup half way."
"I don't like either of those." said Cream as she grabbed a hold of her son.
"Well, that's all we've got." Rarity argued. "So we better choose now before they do." At this point, Spike made his way toward the window to have a peek himself before saying something to everyone else.
"I think we should head out and meet Lockup half way." he said. "If he were to somehow drive up right now, the noise created from his van would no doubt alert them, but if we met up with him in a wide open area, then we'd have a better chance at escaping."
"I agree." said Sunset.
"Y-You wanna go out there in the middle of all that?" asked Cream.
"It's just like back at the school, we'll be find if we don't make any noise." Spike said. "We should get ready to move." Everyone left to prepare except for Cream who was too scared to do anything. It was bad enough to constantly be on the run from these things, now they have to walk through them. Button stayed with his mom in an attempt to put her mind at ease; what little it did. Everyone else was quick to gather their things while Rarity called her mother and told her the situation. It took about 15 minutes, but everyone was ready and prepared to go. Spike slowly, and carefully opened up the front door and was immediately greeted by even more zombies in the street than earlier. Some of which were wearing guards uniform; leading back to Rarity's theory that the guards were bitten and turned. Spike looked back at everyone and gave a nod before walking forward. Cream started breathing heavily as she clung to Button. "It's okay, mom." he whispered. "Just take one step at a time." Little by little, the group made their way off the property and into the street where they joined the horde. Aside from a few bumps, nothing alerted them which was a good thing. All they had to do was keep quiet and everything would go perfectly.
"YOU SONS OF BITCHES!" yelled an random man who came from nowhere and opened fire on the horde.
"Shit!" Spike said as the zombies started moving. Acting quickly, Spike and Rarity opened fire on the few that was close to them while Sunset leaped into action; decapitating a few more. One snuck up behind Cream and Button, but a quick head shot from Twilight put and end to that. She then quickly turned around and killed a few more while Spike grabbed his ax, and went to town alongside Sunset. The group fought off as much as they could but it was starting to get overwhelming. With each passing second, more and more started to show up, but that was mostly due to the random man's shouting and loud shotgun. He was basically ringing the dinner bell with as much noise as he was making.
"We need to get away!" said Twilight.
"But where to?!" Rarity replied before opening fire on a zombie that was too close for comfort. Up a head of them, the random man was starting to get overwhelm by the horde of flesh eaters. With his back against his car, he fired off what little bit of ammo he had left for dropping his gun all together. It was then he pulled out some small device just as the zombies grabbed a hold of him.
"Baby....kids....daddy's coming home." he said as he flipped the switch. That was when his car exploded; killing himself along with whatever zombies that were nearby. The massive explosion caused a chain reaction which caused other cars to explode with almost the same force. This incidentally made an opening for Spike and the others to exploit. "This way!" Spike called as he pointed to what was their only way out. One by one, everyone ran as fast as they could to get away from the horde, however, when they did, one of them managed to grab Cream by the shirt. She screamed and attempted to get free; ripping her shirt completely off in the process. Button quickly put a bullet in the flesh eater's head and helped his mother get to safety. The group made it towards the end of the street where they saw another horde making their way towards them. They headed to the next street over, and from there, they ran north.
"H-How far is it?!" Twilight panted.
"Two blocks ahead!" Rarity answered. "W-We're almost there!" There were no signs of zombies where they were, but they continued running all the same just in case. They ran for two blocks straight before stopping at a nearby park. It was a very small park; just large enough for small children to play in while their parents watched from the houses next to it. The group headed over to rest as they were in the clear, for now. Cream immediately took a seat on a bench and used her arms to cover herself up. With no shirt, her black lace bra was exposed for all to see along with those massive breasts of her that were begging to burst free. Not wanting to leave his mother like this, Button began looking around for any houses nearby he could raid for something to get her.
"I'll be back soon." he said as he started to walk away.
"W-Where are you going?" Cream asked.
"Just over to that house over there." he answered. "Maybe I could find something for you to wear."
"What?! No! I don't want you going off anywhere!" she said; getting up from the bench and grabbing Button by the arm. "You're staying here. I don't care if I'm topless, I'm not letting you leave me."
"If you want, I could go." said Twilight.
"Not by yourself." said Rarity. "Someone should go with you and have your back in case you run into any more of those monsters. Sunset, why don't you go with her."
"Sure." she agreed.
"I'll come too." Spike suggested.
"No, Spike, you stay here." said Twilight. "Besides, we won't be gone long." Button pointed the girls in the direction of the closest house and soon they were off. As they left, Rarity grabbed Spike's hand and began to pulled him away.
"Come with me." she said.
"And where are we going?" he wondered.
"Cream is all exposed over there, can't have you staring at her when she like that." she explained.
"I wasn't star....." Spike started but was cut off.
"Besides, I need to use the bathroom, and I want you to check the area for zombies." she said. Spike decided not to argue with her and followed her to restroom area where he did a quick sweep of the ladies and found it to be clear of anything undead. As Rarity went in, Spike stood outside where he could not only keep an eye on Cream and Button, but also be on the look out for Lockup.
****************************
Sunset and Twilight made it over to the house that Button pointed out. Upon reaching the front door, both girls noticed that the door was cracked open. Maybe someone was inside already, or maybe the people living here were in a rush to evacuate and they forgot to close the door. In any case, they had to hurry and get back to the others, so with extreme caution, then slowly entered the house. "Hello?" Twilight said. "Anybody in here?" There was no answer. Sunset unsheathed her sword as she journeyed deeper in.
"Doesn't appear anybody's here." she said. "Let's hurry and find something for Cream." The girls searched the house until they found the master bedroom where they looked through the closet and a dresser in order to find a shirt large enough for Cream.
"Find anything yet?" asked Sunset.
"No, nothing." Twilight answered. "It doesn't look like any of these would fit her. How could they with how large her chest is."
"Maybe we should get her a man's shirt." Sunset suggested as she searched the closet. She soon pulled out a large white button up shirt that looked like it just might fit Cream, however, before Sunset got the chance to say anything, there was a loud thump that came from up front which caught both girls' attention. They heard voices coming from the hallway and footsteps that weren't very friendly. With no other choice, Twilight hurried over to Sunset and the two girls hid within the tight fitting closet just as someone walked in. The two girls couldn't help but blush as their bodies were pressed against each other in the tight space. They did everything they could not to make any sudden movements that would give out their location; especially since they noticed that the man who was in the room was wearing an outfit that was similar to the men who attacked them before. As the man started to make his way towards the closet, Twilight and Sunset slowly wrapped their arms around each other and slowly moved deeper inside, as much as they could, so they couldn't be detected. Holding each other closer, the girls did their best to remain as still as possible; right to the point of barely breathing. The man peered into the closet, but was called away by someone standing in the door frame; telling him they need to hurry and meet up with the others. The man looked suspiciously at the closet for a second before leaving with his friend. Twilight and Sunset breathed a sigh of relief, but stayed where they were for a few more minutes just to make sure they were gone.
Some time passed, and the girls slowly exited the closet; their faces beet red after having their soft bodied pushed against each other for a long time. "W-Well, t-that was.....awkward." Twilight said avoiding eye contact.
"N-Not as awkward as last night." Sunset let slip. Realizing what she said, looked over at Twilight who stared at her wide eyed.
"W-What do you mean, last night?" she asked; afraid to hear the answer.
"I.....kinda.....saw you and Spike.....together." she confessed. Twilight's red face turned and even darker shade. She was sure that she closed the door last night when she went to see Spike, and now that she knew they had an audience the entire time, she just wanted someone to put her out of her misery. Let the zombies take her for all she cared. "Soooo......Uhhhhh....." Sunset awkwardly continued.
"Can we go now?" Twilight asked; not wanting this to continue.
"Yes, lets." Sunset agreed.
****************************
Sunset and Twilight quickly returned to the park just in time to see large purple van parked just outside the entrance with Spike and Button opening fire on a few zombies heading their way. "Hurry, and get in!" yelled the driver who had to be Lockup. "There's more of'em coming!" Twilight and Sunset ran over towards the van and entered it just as Spike and Button finished killing off a few more zombies. After the two boys entered the vehicle, Lockup took off driving, but not before catching the attention of a few men ahead of them. "Hey, who are they, friends of yours?" he asked. Sunset looked up and noticed the men standing in the street.
"No they aren't!" she answered.
Rarity, sitting in the front seat, noticed them too. "Aren't those the same men we saw the other day?!" As they got closer, Lockup noticed the men wielding guns and aiming it at right at them.
"Shit! Everybody heads down!" he yelled as he stomped on the gas. The van accelerated; approaching top speed just as the men started to open fire. Everyone ducked down as far as they could go; bullets whining pass, shattering the windows, and nearly hitting them in the process. Spike and Button used their bodies as a shield to protect the girls in back while Rarity ducked under the dashboard as much as she could. Lockup ducked down as well; trying his best to keep on the road. They'd be in a terrible spot if they managed to crash into something right now. The men continued to open fire on the vehicle; even as one of them managed to get ran over. It felt like forever, but the group managed to plow their way through; not knowing that they were dragging one of the men along with them for several feet before he separated from them. "I-Is everyone alright?" Lockup called.
"Y-Yeah, I think so." came Spike's voice.
Spike slowly looked down at both Twilight and Sunset underneath him. He was going to ask them if they were alright, but fell short of that once he felt something very soft and squishy in his hands. His eyes glanced downward and noticed that he was pressing on both girl's breasts. With wide eyes, he quickly shot up; leaving Twilight and Sunset with embarrassing blushes on their faces. Button was faced down in between his mother's breasts with her arms wrapped around him. She was trembling almost uncontrollably with both eyes sealed shut as she held her son close. Button struggled a bit, but he was able to lift his head up for some much needed air. "I-Is it over?" Creamed asked in a terrified whisper.
"Yeah, it's over." Button reassured. "We're safe." The two slowly moved to sit up with Cream quickly covering up her chest. Sunset handed over the shirt she and Twilight had gotten to her and she quickly put it on; though she was having a bit of trouble with the buttons. The group could rest ease now that they were on their way towards Rarity's house, but as they traveled, they couldn't help but wonder just where were all the guards. Lockup could see the question on everyone's faces, especially Rarity and decided to answer it for them.
"Neighsay called back most of his forces sometime last night." he said.
"Why's that?" asked Rarity.
"Word is he has a community being set up somewhere." he answered. "At least, that's what your father thinks."
"It'd make sense." Rarity agreed. "With everything gone to hell, resources are gonna become more scarce, and whoever has the most, has the power, and knowing him, he'll do whatever it takes to see that he's the only one with that power."
****************************
The group had finally made it to Rarity's house, and to say that it was huge would be a major understatement. After passing through the large gate, the group were met with the house itself which practically looked like a castle, the front yard had a massive fountain with a statue of a Greek goddess surrounded by planted trees and few park benches. The van drove on the left side of the entrance where they passed the family garage; which was the size of an average house before finally pulling up to the front of the house where a woman and her child were waiting. The van parked and Rarity waisted no time in getting out and running into the arms of the woman who happens to be her mother. The two held each other tighter than they ever have before while everyone exited the van.
Rarity's mother looked and saw everyone; releasing a small gasp once her eyes rested on Spike. Judging by the sympathetic look she gave him, she knew something about him. Another thing that caught her eyes, were the many guns they had strapped to their person. "Goodness, just where did you find those?" she asked.
"Long story." Rarity said as he held her little sister. "Where's Father?"
"He's out looking for survivors." she answered. "We've open the entire estate to anyone trying to survive this hellish nighmare." Pointing to the right side of the estate, everyone's eyes landed on multiple large tents and many people, most of them families, gathered around the area. It was refugee camp being looked after by the estate's staff who was making sure that everyone had what they needed and that there weren't any discomfort at all. "Everyday, we're finding more and more people who need help." she continued. "Pretty soon there won't any room left."
"So what are you gonna do?" Rarity asked.
"We're gonna have to bring them to one of our many summer homes." she answered.
"They have summer homes?!" everyone else thought.
"I'll tell you more about the plan later, right now, let's all go inside." she suggested. "You're father should be on his way back right now, and you have to tell me everything you've been through. I want to hear it all." As Rarity's mother lead everyone inside, Spike started to get this feeling of hope that maybe, just maybe, their parents were doing okay as well.
