Playing With Death - Part 12: Friendly Faces

The gun! Cody quickly pulled his gun up and aimed towards the crazed lunatic.

She didn't stop.

Cody yelped as he dodged the chainsaw coming for his neck. Dropping to the ground, he pushed himself backwards with his feet. He kept backing away from the chainsaw killer, feeling helpless. He just couldn't use the gun, not on someone who was still alive.

But it was his only means of survival. To protect himself. He had to. He threw his hand to his side to grab his weapon.

It wasn't there.

He quickly looked around and found it a couple yards away from him on the ground. He had dropped it. Well that's just fantasmical... wait. He felt his other side. Duh! My machete! He grabbed it and pushed the chainsaw away from him with the machete's blade, being only inches away from him. Cody tried to stand up, but she simply pushed him down with her foot, knocking the breathe out of him.

He couldn't move. All he could do was try to breathe, as he watched the chainsaw lifted into the air, ready to make contact with his skull.

"JENNY! STOP!"

The crazed female stopped. She turned to the sound of someone running up to her. She let the chainsaw drop to the ground, and she fell to her knees, looking down in defeat.

The other figure ran up. "Jen! I said no un-aliving people!"

Cody's breathe came back. Jennifer? Jennifer Sailor?? He stood up, resting his arms at his side, still holding the machete. Jenny is the one who tried to kill me just now... whuh...

The other figure turned to him. "Hey Cody!"

Cody's mouth dropped, but he recovered. He started to tear up as he tried to talk. "R.. Rose?" he ran up and embraced her. The two didn't let go for some time.

"Oh my gosh..." he said. "It's so good to see you alive..."

Rose smiled. "Same for you. I was worried about ya." She turned to Jen. "Jen, say hi to Cody."

Jen stood back up. "H... hello..." she then turned and ran back inside.

"...Rose... what happened to her?"

Rose frowned. "Not sure. We found her like that. Either she was super traumatized... or she hit her head on something. Either way... she's way off. People tried to calm her down, but they didn't do such a good job." she smiled. "Then she saw me. And just like that, she calmed down. Evidently, I'm the only one she really likes." she grabbed Cody's hand. "Come on. There's more peeps inside!"

Cody smiled. There were other survivors.
