Chapter 16 Food Fight

Chapter 16 Food Fight

"Why do I always have to stay behind I can get food to." Iyari pouted after about waiting an hour for the others to come back from gathering nessaties.

"Well its dangerous sweetie and we just want to make sure that you stay safe." I answered her looking over at Parker, who was sitting next to the little girl.

"Aaron's right think of yourself as a treasure that him and I are put in charge of protecting." she added caressing her cheek. Iyari smiled.

"I like treasure especially the burried kind." she continued and then went back to reading her book. Parker and I were the only two there other than little Iyari and the others should be back at any minute.

"So what's been going on with you and Scotty? I mean the two of you have barely spoken this past week." Parker asked in a whisper.

"I don't know what's been going on with you and Kevin. You've both been very cozy with one another for the past two months." I hissed in response. Parker threw her hands in the air.

"Okay it was just a question. I just wish the two of you would - Watch out!"Parker grabbed Iyari and I sprung to my feet they had gotten in. I made my way around the table to Parker and Iyari and looked at the crowd of them that had some how gotten into the building.

"Parker get Iyari into the kitchen, and close the shutter." the kitchen area of the cafe had a metal shutter that slid down and could be closed and locked.

Parker nodded and Iyari held onto her. Iyari looked like she might cry. There were so many at least fifteen. I walked with Parker slowly and went over to the kitchen area and Parker let Iyari go and then they were off racing toward us. I pushed Iyari into the room and jumped up grabbing the latch and pulling down the steel shutter. Parker knelt down and locked the left latch, then she was on the floor being dragged into the group of them by her hair, screaming. I grabbed one of the chairs and swung it wildly trying to keep them at bay. Parker got away from the one who had her by the hair and had crawled under a table. A small group of the mob tore after her, flipping up the table she was under. Parker stayed on the moving backwards away from them. They flipped table after table overto get to her. I slammed the metal leg of the chair into the head of one of them and climbed onto one of the tables.

Parker stood up and pushed the last table she had slid under forward into the gut of one of the psychotics pinning him against the wall she pushed and pushed as blood leaked from his mid section and screams filled the room. Two of them grabbed at Parker flinging her onto the floor. She flew backwards sliding across the floor and slamming into the cafeteira doors. I jumped onto another table that buckled under my weight cracking in half. I tumbled forward next to Parker. She shook her head as I helped her off the floor. "Come on." I said as the mob came after us. She stood uneasily and we burst through the doors, sprinting through the school to the front office. Suddenly the front doors of the school opened and I could see Warren and Ronan. We sped up with the psychotics close behind. "Move!" I shouted as Parker and I made our way out of the school. Parker crashed into Mallory knocking her down as a wave of psychotics met our small group. Parker helped Mallory off the floor grabbed her hand and started to run away from the school. "Parker!" I called. She kept running Mallory being pulled along. I turned to see that Scotty had made his way to the front of the group and was currently mowing down the psychotics with a shot gun. I had to bring back Parker and Mal. I sprinted after them.
