Teens & the end of the world Chapter 6


Rob, Herbie and Connor all stared at Lewis who had red blood splattered all over his plain white t-shirt and light blue collar and was desperately trying to catch his breath, Connor ran over to the dining room table and searched through Lewis’ bag and grabbed his inhaler and rushed back to Lewis still panting and staring at the corpse in front of him. Connor handed Lewis his inhaler, Lewis put the inhaler into his mouth without taking his eyes off of the smashed mans skull, He inhaled a few times before putting it back in his pocket. Herbie stood up and put his hands on his head, “what have you done?” he asked, Lewis looked at him in shock “I just saved your fucking life! That’s what I’ve done” he shouted, “dude, you just totally flipped, I’ve never seen that side of you, you... you killed him” Herbie trembled “what do you mean I killed him?” Lewis asked, “well I certainly wasn’t the one who pounded the guys face in” herbie said trying to comfort himself holding his hands up as he stepped back, “hey, all of you are in this as much as me?” Lewis proclaimed, “How do you figure that one out Sherlock?” herbie snapped, “your accessory to murder mate, you held him down” Herbie knew he was right, the four boys all looked at each other in horror, “so... what do we do now” said rob with his hands on his hips, staring at the corpse, “we do what any normal person do in this kinda’ situation” said Connor, “what? Go to the police?” asked Rob “nope we bury the body and forget this ever happened” Connor replied scratching his chin, “ok then Mr. Big man, you carry him outside and bury him” said Lewis, “OK, I will” said Connor proudly. Connor circled the body a few times trying to figure out how to pick it up, he eventually decided to pick up his legs and drag him, the other three boys just stared, and watched his pathetic attempt, “well?” Connor said in embarrassment “are you going to help or what?” he asked, Lewis sighed and walked over and picked up the dead man underneath his shoulders, Herbie opened the door and checked to see of anyone was outside, “It’s clear” he shouted. They carried the body down through some woodland until they approached a nearby reservoir, they all looked at each other, and without saying a word they all knew what each other was thinking. Connor and Lewis walked up to the side of the reservoir and they threw him into the darkest part of the pool, there was large splash and the body slowly sank into the darkest corner of the pool. The four boys trekked back to the cabin without saying a word, and all sat down on the sofas, there was a moment of silence where all four boys stared blankly into space, “so what’s the plan?” asked Herbie, not one of them blinked, “we never speak of this again, simple” said Lewis, but they all knew it wasn’t that easy. “well why don’t we all go back to my house and we can chill, and take our minds off of this mess with a game on the Xbox?” said Lewis, the three boys all nodded and packed up their stuff trying not to leave any trace of evidence that they were ever there and headed out the door, and through the muddy, woodland pathway. They finally reached the end of the path and headed across the path on the mountainside where Lewis noticed a bright yellow light in the corner of his eye, he looked down the mountainside where he could see the main road leading into the town centre, overloaded with cars, some on fire and some tipped upside down, “holy shit” he mumbled, “that’s one bad ass crash” he continued, the other three all stared down at the havoc and chaos that was below. After a few minutes of staring the four boys continued their way home, but about 20 feet ahead on the path was a shadowy figure knelt down, just like the first figure rob spotted. The four boys slowly approached the shady character, “dude, um...  excuse me could you tell us what happened down on the road?” Connor asked, but as the man turned around they could see what he was kneeling for, he had a large chunk of flesh hanging out of his mouth that he had bitten off the torn off arm he was holding in his right hand, the blood from the limb had stained the man’s chin with dark red blood, his eyes were yellow and blood shot, he groaned loudly before dropping the limb right in front of Connor’s feet, “look mate, I don’t want no trouble okay? I’m just gonna leave you and your um... feast alone okay?” but as he slowly backed away the man stood up and tried to pounce on Connor, so Connor dived out the way and followed the other three boys who had ran past without making a sound, but the man chased them down the mountainside, which only boosted the four boys adrenaline rush. As they reached the bottom they stopped for what could be the worse sight any of the boys could have ever seen.
