'ow we gonna do this?\" Jeff asked, moving around to one side of Thomas.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSam, on the other side, bent down and pulled one of the fox's arms around over his shoulders,\n\n\"I'll get the right... you get the left. We'll move him out to the lorrie.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Andy... you might wanna sit with 'im... see if you can do anything for 'is leg.\" Jeff\n\nsuggested.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"We need something better than a first aid kid for any real healing.\" Andy pointed out, \"if it's\n\na tendon, he'll need surgery.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"one thing at a time, love.\" Mandy noted, hugging the wolf, \"once we're safe we can worry about\n\nlong term... right now, let's just take things one step at a time.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I'm all for that... but can we start the steps a little faster?\" Jeff encouraged. The young\n\nhusky took hold of Thomas' left arm and supported the fox's weight.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Steve...\" Thomas sobbed glancing back toward the desk behind the group, then yelped as he tried\n\nto put weight on his foot.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Calm down, Tom... just calm down, mate.\" Sam noted, \"Eyes forward.... gotta watch where you're\n\ngoing.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Steve...\" the fox noted, louder.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Right...\" Jeff nodded, \"we'll give him a proper send off once we're all--\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"STEVE!\" Thomas shouted, struggling to turn. The two holding his arms paused, turning as well.\n\nThe German shepherd was standing, a vacant gaze in his eyes. Bloody spittle dangled from his\n\nmuzzle, and he began stalking toward the group. Beside the dog, the fallen Headmaster began to\n\nstand, hole in his abdomen, and a hunk of his own innards still dangling from his horn.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Hold him, girl!\" Sam shouted, passing Thomas off to Mandy as he readied his shovel.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Andy... come'ere!\" Jeff announced, passing off Thomas' other arm to the paramedic as he pulled\n\nhis gun, moving to stand beside Sam.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"That's Steve!\" Thomas wailed.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"And the Headmaster...\" Becca confirmed, \"What's left of 'em anyway. What's your point?\" she\n\ntook a step away from the advancing zombies.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Don't hurt him!\" the fox pushed Andy and Mandy, and hobbled quickly forward.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"He's a zombie, Thomas... it's not Steve anymore.\" Jeff leveled his gun at the approaching wolf,\n\nbut the fox quickly grabbed his wrist and pushed. The gun sounded and the zombie German\n\nshepherd recoiled, a spray of red rising from its shoulder. Steve's undead corpse fell over,\n\nbut slowly got back to its feet.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Damn it, Tommy!\" Jeff pushed at the fox, \"He'll kill us!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhile the party was distracted by Thomas' intervention the bull lowered its head... and charged.\n\nJeff grabbed hold of the fox and pulled him to the side, barely avoiding the horns. The zombie\n\nspun around, letting out a gibbering bugle of a war cry... and lowered its head for another\n\ncharge. The blade of Sam's shovel came down like an executioner's axe, hitting the bull clean\n\non the neck, and dropping it instantly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Bloody 'ell, Tommy... tune it in!\" Jeff announced, grabbing hold of the front of the fox's\n\nshirt with either paw, \"What're you thinkin?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"It's still Steve! It IS!\" Thomas declared, sliding his arms between the paws griping his\n\nshirt. With a twist of one paw, and throwing his weight against the other, the fox deftly\n\nforced the young husky's grip open. Before Jeff could react, Thomas shot his paw forward and\n\ngripped the dog's right ear, twisting and pulling down; Jeff face-planted into the floor and the\n\nfox nimbly walked past, using the wall for support.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Tommy, you ass 'at! You've lost it!\" Jeff exclaimed, slowly sitting up, holding his bloody\n\nnose.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"No... I've found him.\" the fox replied, slowing to a stop in front of the German shepherd, who\n\njust found its balance, \"Steve... it's me.\" he said, cocking his head to the side, \"It's\n\nTommy... you remember me... I know you do.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Thomas! He'll kill you!\" Sam shouted, racing to the fox's aid.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWith barely a second thought, the fox braced himself against the wall, holding his injured foot\n\noff the ground as he kicked out with his good one, sending a fallen chair right into the\n\ncharging raccoon's path. Sam tripped up and fell. \"Steve... it's me... Tommy. You remember\n\nme... I know you do.\" the fox casually stopped the skittering shovel with his toe.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe Shepherd paused, nose sniffing tentatively, blank eyes devoid of any sense of recognition.\n\nThe zombie growled faintly, raising a paw, claws glinting in the half-light of the hall. Thomas\n\npushed his weight forward, deftly grabbing Steve's wrist. He continued his forward motion\n\nuntil his chest was pressed against the dog's and the fox embraced him fully. \"I love you\n\nSteve... I won't let anything happen to you.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What bloody hell...?\" Andy stood aghast.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Go!\" noted Sam, standing up. He turned and ran toward the group, not even taking the time to\n\npick up his fallen shovel.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Just what exactly...?\" Mandy inquired, standing and watching the fox embrace the apparently\n\nsurprised undead wolf. She remained transfixed until Andy grabbed her arm.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I'll make it better...\" the fox promised, his paw pressing against the German shepherd's back,\n\n\"I did it once... I can d--\" and the dog suddenly lurched forward, sinking his teeth into Thomas'\n\nshoulder. The fox's eyes went wide. \"S....Steve....?\" his arm dropped, no longer able to keep\n\nits grip on the zombie's wrist. Steve snarled, biting deeper. \"Oh...\" the fox noted, slumping\n\nagainst the dog, \"so... we ARE gonna be together...\" and Thomas closed his eyes, \"...forever?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"We have to help him!\" Andy announced, slowing.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"He doesn't want our help, mate.\" Jeff announced, holding his nose.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"We can't help him...\" Sam confirmed, glancing back at the two embracing furs. Thomas retained\n\nhis hug on the zombie even as it grabbed him, claws raking down his back. The party lost sight\n\nof the two as the turned a corner, and ran.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Left... then a right!\" Mandy announced, keeping pace with Andy as the group ran for the exit.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"There are more zombies around here...\" Becca announced, right behind them. A side door began\n\nto open, moaning and growls issuing forth.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Just get to the exit!\" Sam directed, slowing as he reached out to grab a mop. He ran, mop\n\nleading the way, shouldering the door with his body as he slipped the mop into the door handle,\n\nwedging it against a cabinet attached to the wall. The door shuddered several times, but held.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Stupid... stupid... 'e was just SO STUPID!\" Jeff exclaimed to no one in particular.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Worry about it later, Sam... right now we have to worry about us.\" Andy suggested, keeping hold\n\nof Mandy's wrist.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nBecca ran past the two, hitting the exit doors with a loud thud. They opened immediately,\n\nrevealing the golden mid-afternoon light. The party couldn't help but slow, blinded by the sun\n\nas their eyes were forced to adjust from the faint, shadowy illumination within the building.\n\nNobody stopped completely, however, as they barreled out into the open air.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Quick! Help me!\" Sam directed, grabbing a large rubbish bin. The raccoon began straining,\n\ntrying to pull it up the stairs leading to the door. The rest of the survivors moved to help\n\nhim and, together, they managed to pull it into place, blocking the exit. Several zombies\n\nimpacted against the door from the other side, their faces smearing the small windows with blood\n\nand saliva.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Move it... go!\" directed Andy, motion to the lorrie. Sam went first, unlocking it quickly\n\nbefore hopping up into the bench seat. He led Mandy toward the rubbish bin, \"Sorry... it's not\n\ncomfortable, but it's safe. We'll be fine in here.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMandy gave him a little shove, \"Go into the front-- someone's got to help get us out of here\n\nsafely.\" she leaned forward and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, \"Becca and I'll be fine in\n\nthe back.\" Becca, already in the rubbish bin, helped Mandy climb in after her. Andy hit the\n\nclose lever and went around to the front.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nJeff had already climbed into the cab beside Sam, so Andy wasted no time in joining them. Once\n\nthe doors were closed, Andy turned to Sam, \"We're all set. GO!\" The raccoon complied readily.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAll three survivors in the front let out a deep breath as they pulled away from the building.\n\nSam brought the lorrie around to the same gate through which they entered, and he pulled back\n\nonto the road, turning right. It was several minutes before anybody spoke.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"She's safe, Andy.\" Jeff spoke.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"None of us are safe yet.\" the wolf answered.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Safer 'ere than she was there.\" the young husky clarified.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Yea... for now.\" Andy answered, letting out a sigh, \"But Steve and Thomas gave their life to\n\nsave her.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"They knew the risks... we all did.\" Sam noted, watching the road as he reached down and brushed\n\na thumb across the photo of his two kits.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I can't believe Tommy...\" Jeff grumbled, \"stupid fox...\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Relax, Jeff... it was his choice, not ours.\" Andy rested a paw on the dog's shoulder.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Whether he knew it or not, he gave himself up to let the rest of us get away.\" Sam explained,\n\n\"We should be grateful... not judgemental.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Exactly.\" Andy nodded, \"What we need to do is think of what comes next.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Kent.\" Sam noted without hesitation, \"We head south... pick up the Orbital, and keep driving\n\nuntil we don't see zombies anymore, or until we get to Kent.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"If there ARE zombies, then it's a snatch-an'-grab, right mate?\" Jeff asked.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Cheers.\" Sam acknowledged.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"And then the Chunnel?\" the husky suggested.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Sounds good to me.\" the raccoon agreed.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What about heading to the police station?\" Andy offered, \"We have no way of knowing how far\n\nthis zombie-thing goes. If it's bad enough we might not be able to get diesel later. At least\n\nwith the police we know there are people alive... ARMED people, hopefully.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I AM kinda low on bullets...\" Jeff acknowledged, holing up an empty gun, \"But if we're going\n\nthere then don't you think we should wait for another broadcast? I mean... what if they 'ave\n\nmore information.... like, if the situation's changed in the last forty minutes. You think we\n\nshould wait and see what the next broadcast says?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSam shrugged, \"This lorrie's safe as any place, I guess... we could always camp out in the\n\nrubbish bin with the girls until the next broadcast.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAndy paused, considering, \"That's less daylight we'll have... I'm not sure it's the best idea to\n\nwait for anything at this point.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Well... we have three pretty-good sounding options here.\" Sam spoke up, \"Personally, I just\n\nwant to get out of here.\" he glanced at Andy and Jeff, \"What about you two?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\* \\* \\*\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nBack at the college the zombies continued to push and shove against the unmoving doors. By\n\nthat time, the two, small windows had broken and shattered outward, bleeding arms reached through\n\nthe openings, ineffectually grasping at empty air. The doors continued to shudder and heave,\n\nbut the rubbish bin held fast. Suddenly, however, all of the noise halted... and silence\n\nprevailed.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWith a powerful, resounding \\*THUNK\\*, the right door flew open, a large dent pounded into its\n\nmiddle. The rubbish bin tumbled down the stairs as it was knocked away. Zombies streamed out\n\ninto the courtyard, meandering about for almost a minute before the slowly began to drift apart,\n\nmoving away aimlessly. At that point, two more zombies finally exited the building.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe first was a German shepherd, and it stumbled its way out of the open doors. There were two\n\nhuge gaping holes in its body at the chest, and several other, older wounds across its arm and\n\nneck-- the bandages on them didn't do much since blood had already stopped flowing. Its blank\n\ngaze slowly searched across the courtyard, and it simply flopped down into a combined laying and\n\nsitting position on the brick steps. It licked absently at the copious amount of blood\n\ndribbling from its muzzle.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nA fox followed it out, fur matted, covered in refuse stains. Huge, jagged gashes criss crossed\n\nits back, blood still leaking out of the deeply torn flesh, but not as much as from the large\n\nopening in its shoulder. A broad section of flesh was missing from the fox's neck, exposed bone\n\nshowing tooth marks. The fox stumbled out and stood next to the dog. Its muzzle raised faintly\n\ninto the air, nostrils working until it apparently caught the scent for which it searched.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe zombie bumbled its way down the stairs, one foot turned at an odd angle as it failed to\n\nremain within correct alignment as it walked. The dog zombie slowly stood and followed after.\n\nBoth zombies walked out past the fountain in the courtyard and made their way to an open gate,\n\nwhich lead out to a main road.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe two zombies paused as more began to mass behind them. Both the dog and the fox sniffed\n\nthe air again, and let out faint growls. As one, the growing horde turned right and proceeded\n\ndown the street, moving purposefully toward their desired goal.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003cEND SCENE\\\u003e\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt's that time again, Apoc-Fur-Lypse fans!\u0026nbsp; Group 5 has been whittled down to a mere two characters and they are putting it all on the line to get into Azure Dynamics, the apparent epicenter of this event.

Anyone who does not have a character involved in this story arc may vote. You may vote by personality, contribution, style, personal preference, or any method you like to make sure your preferred survivor continues to fight another day. Thomas was the favorite for last chapter... sadly it wasn't enough for him to survive.\n\n\u0026nbsp; Contributing readers please choose the next direction for the group. The ad hoc leader gets 2 votes while everyone else gets 1.  \n  \nOption 1: Sam's idea of getting out of town sounds good.  \nOption 2: The police station seems like the best idea.  \nOption 3: Camp out in the Lorrie and wait for the next broadcast.  \n  \nPlot Point Opportuntity:  \nHalf-Time  \nThe Zombie Apoc-Fur-Lypse will resolve by or before the tenth scene, which means we are either at the half-way point, or past it. As such, you are faced with a sudden-death Plot Point challenge. The Plot Points for this chapter must be sent to me via private message (DO NOT POST IT HERE BECAUSE THESE BIDS ARE SECRET!). Any contributing reader may spend a Plot Point.\n\nThe group that spends the most Plot Points will regain the points they spent AND receive a bonus plot point each-- but if the group does not win then the Plot Points spent are lost. The group with the lowest number of Plot Points used will automatically suffer a Harrowing Event in chapter 7... or an Apoc-Fur-Lypse Apocalypse if they were already slated to have a Harrowing Event. Hint: that's bad.\n\n\u0026nbsp; Any contributing reader may spend a plot point to have Mandy join the party as a full-fledged survivor with her own ISTAYALIVE stats as follows:  \nMandy O'Connor  \nInfluence 8  \nSurvival\u0026nbsp; 6  \nTenacity\u0026nbsp; 3  \nAgility\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; 5  \nYouth\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; 4  \nAwareness 3  \nLuck\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; 5  \nIngenuity 6  \nVitality\u0026nbsp; 5  \nEndurance 5  \nShe will start with the average of everyone's Plot Points if chosen.  \n  \nAny contributing reader may spend a plot point to have Becca join the party as a full-fledged survivor with her own ISTAYALIVE stats as follows:  \nRebecca (Becca) Davison  \nInfluence 5  \nSurvival\u0026nbsp; 6  \nTenacity\u0026nbsp; 5  \nAgility\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; 5  \nYouth\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; 5  \nAwareness 5  \nLuck\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; 6  \nIngenuity 4  \nVitality\u0026nbsp; 5  \nEndurance 4  \nShe will start with the average of everyone's Plot Points if chosen.  \nSam may spend a Plot Point to remove his -1 to Luck.  \n  \nCongratulations to Group 4 for successfully saving Mandy.\u0026nbsp; It was a costly venture, sacrificing two survivors, but you can't put a price on love.\u0026nbsp; Hopefully that cost won't inflate in the next few chapters.\u0026nbsp; Good luck!  \n  \n\n","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/192087-the-zombie-apoc-fur-lypse-group-5-concludes.json"}
