Zombie vampires chapter 5

ZOMBIE INTERRUPTUS

Jaycee stepped into the hallway and walked down to the reception area keeping a Lookout for whatever had torn the place apart. She was scared but more curious and Willing to see what happened. As she reached the end of the hall, she saw Melony lying On the floor with her belly tore open and her intestines draped over the desk.

“Are they dead?” Cassandra asked. She was behind Jaycee and scared the piss out of Her.

“Melony is,” Jaycee replied in a hushed voice.

“Where’s the guy?”

“I don’t know,” Jaycee replied stepping further into the reception area.

“What are you doing?” Cassandra asked. “You want to get killed too?”

“I want to see what happened.”

“It was a zombie vampire attack, can’t you see?” Cassandra asked.

“It might have been.”

“No, it was, look at the door, they broke it off the hinges, who does that?”

Jaycee knew Cassandra was right but didn’t want to believe it. Neither one of them had Ever seen a zombie vampire attack in real life. It wasn’t until recently that the population Had grown to such a size that they had become a commonplace threat. Jaycee turned To head back to the break room when she heard a noise coming from the reception Area.

“What’s that?” Cassandra asked.

Jaycee turned back and took a few steps closer to the reception area. When she Reached the doorway she looked left around the corner and saw the businessman lying On the floor and a zombie vampire drinking from his leg. The zombie vampire was grey And misshapen, like a sickly hairless ape with patches of thin hair running down it’s Back. It was hard to think that this being used to be a person.

Jaycee stepped back and pointed to the break room indicating to Cassandra she Needed to back up. Cassandra understood and turned back. Then they both heard a Noise from the break room. It was a chair sliding across the floor. Was it another Coworker? Or was it another zombie vampire? Neither girl knew what to do so they Stood still trying not to bring attention to themselves.

“What now?” Cassandra whispered.

“Wait till they leave,” Jaycee replied in a whisper.

“What do we do if they attack us?”

“Be quiet!” Jaycee whispered back.

For the next half hour the girls sat quiet in the hallway waiting for the noises to stop,

Once quiet, the girls slowly and quietly crawled into the reception area and peeked Around the corner to see if the zombie vampires left. There was no sign of them, just the Two bodies they left behind. And they were starting to turn.

“Do you see that?” Cassandra asked.

Jaycee looked at the businessman and saw that he was ashen grey and starting to Move. Neither girl knew how long it took for a zombie vampire to form from a freshly Killed human, but they were watching the process live.

“That’s so gross,” Cassandra said.

“Look at Melony,” Jaycee said.

Both girls looked as Melony’s intestines began to curl back into her body, like a snake With a mind of its own.

“I think I’m going to throw up,” Cassandra said.

“What should we do?” Jaycee asked.

“What do you mean?”

“We can stop this before they change all the way.”

“How?”

“Cut them up, burn them, hell I don’t know,” Jaycee replied.

“Cut them with what?’ Cassandra asked.

“Go in the break room and see if there are any knives in the drawers.”

“I know there are plastic forks, but I’m pretty sure there aren’t any metal knives,”

Cassandra replied.

“Just go look, if you can’t find a knife, find something we can use to bash their heads in With, there must be something.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I’ll check in the reception area, maybe I can find something to use.”

Cassandra walked back to the break room and Jaycee walked into the reception area.

Neither girl knew how long they had before both victims turned into zombie vampires, But from the condition of the bodies, it didn’t look like it would take long. Then Cassandra ran back with a metal knife in her hand. “Look, I found one.”

“Where was it?” Jaycee asked.

“In the drawer, next to the plastic forks.”

“Good, now go over there and cut his head off,” Jaycee said a she looked at the businessman lying on the floor.

“No, you do it,” Cassandra replied.

“Fine,” Jaycee said and took the knife from Cassandra. Jayce stepped over to the man who was now convulsing and shedding hair all over the floor. “Can you at least hold his legs still?”

Cassandra moved in and leaned down holding the man's legs to the floor. Once his body was stilled, Jaycee took the knife to his throat and sawed back and forth. The half man half zombie vampire squirmed but didn’t open his eyes. It seemed like they had got to him in time. With a few well-placed cuts, Jaycee was down to his vertebrae where she had a difficult time getting through, but with persistence, she made it all the way and separated the man’s head from his neck. Now it was onto Melony.

Jaycee turned to take on Melony and noticed she was gone. She scanned the room and looked out the window to see if she ran out the front door. Nothing. Then she heard Cassandra scream and spun around to see Melony, now grey and hairless pulling Cassandra back down the hallway towards the break room. Melony used her inch long claw like fingernails to dig into Cassandra’s leg and pull her along.

Jaycee stood up and ran down the hall with the knife in her hand. She stepped around Cassandra and sunk the knife into Melony’s chest and pushed her away trying to get her to let go of Cassandra. Instead, Melony lunged at Jaycee and scratched her neck with the fingernails on her left hand. Cassandra managed to kick herself free of Melony’s grasp and scoot herself back down the hall to the reception area where she was met by two men in military style police armor carrying automatic rifles.

“Down there!” Cassandra yelled pointing down the hall.

The two men entered the hall and took aim at Melony who now had Jaycee pinned up against the break room door. One of the armed policemen blasted a single shot to Melony’s head that knocked her to the side. Getting her attention, Melony pushed Jaycee towards the police into the hall and slammed the break room door shut.

“Get over here!” the policeman yelled to Jaycee. Without hesitation, Jaycee stumbled back towards the reception area and around the two policemen who were now trying to kick down the break room door. With a few well-placed kicks and a few gunshots to the lock, the door opened and the men entered with their rifles in the ready position.

Pinned up against the counter, Melony scrambled to find a way out of the room but couldn't find one. The two police officers opened fire and shot until she was motionless on the floor. Once Melony was dead, the police returned to the reception area and did a quick scan. “Are there anymore?” the policeman asked.

“Yes, that guy.” Jaycee said as she pointed to the headless man lying on the floor.

“Any workers?”

Jaycee knew there were two other girls working the booths tonight, but hadn’t seen Them for hours. She walked over to the reception desk and spun the monitor around so She could see the camera view of the booths. They were all empty. “They left,” she said.

“You two need to leave, there’s a group of zombie vampires in this area we’re trying Take down.”

“No shit,” Cassandra said. “Since when do they come out and attack like this? I thought They hid in old buildings and waited for people to walk by.”

“I don’t know, it’s new to us. Something’s changed,” the officer replied. “But as long as They’re out on the streets, you need to get home.”

“If we leave, they’ll find us.”

“Do you have a car?”

“Yes.”

“We can escort you to your car, you should be alright once inside, just lock your doors,”

The officer said.

Then a gunshot rang out from outside the building.

“What the fuck was that?” Cassandra asked.

“We have officers out patrolling the area, they might have come across a zombie Vampire,” the officer replied.

“How many are there?”

“We think probably ten or twelve. It’s hard to tell, we can’t use our infrared on them, and They don’t put out a heat signature. Now let’s get you to your car. Where are you

Parked?”

“In the back,” Jaycee said.

“Both of you?”

“I didn’t drive,” Cassandra said, “My boyfriend drops me off.”

“I’ll take you home,” Jaycee said and led the group to the back door. Once outside the Lead policeman checked the area and allowed the others to follow. Jaycee led them to

Her car and she and Cassandra got inside.

“Drive straight home, this area is off limits to the regular public,” the officer said.

Jaycee nodded in agreement and drove the car down the alley and into the street Heading for home.

“Now what?” Cassandra asked.

“What do you mean?” Jaycee replied.

“I don’t know, I’m cut, bleeding and scared. I never thought those fucking zombie Vampires would ever come after me. I thought I was safe at work.”

“Yeah, I know what you mean. I never thought I was safe, but it wasn’t like we were Walking down a dark alley either. He said something changed, I wonder what it was.”

“They’re probably starving, I heard on the news that their population has increased a lot. They probably went through all the local’s, now they have to expand.”

“Expand my ass, they need to hire more cops and get this shit taken care of,” Jaycee Said. “Give me a gun, I’ll exterminate the fuckers.”

“You want to work for the vampire agency?” Cassandra asked.

“Those guys protect vampires, why would I do that?’

“Those guys were agency, don’t you ever read the paper? The agency is doing double Duty, they protect vampires from poachers and kill off the zombie vampires, they said They were hiring. You don’t have a job anymore.”

“I don’t have a bachelor’s degree either,” Jaycee replied.

“You don’t have to have one anymore, remember? They said they’re so desperate They’re waiving the requirement.”

“I didn’t know you were so well read,” Jaycee said.

“I do more than suck dick all day,” Cassandra replied. “I’m thinking about applying

Myself.”

“You? Shoot a gun?” Jaycee said with a laugh. “You’re too much of a girly girl.” 

“Like you’ve ever shot a gun,” Cassandra replied.

“I grew up on a farm. I’ve been around guns all my life.”
