<spoiler=Royally fucked>Well.. uh, I must say.. if you manage to get out of that situation alive, credibly, I shall applaud you two, fullmetalangel and vid20. Uh.. yeah.
I'm a brain storming.. I really am. But.. I think fucked is the
only way to describe it
Christian felt blue tug at his hand.
thank god he had rolled towards her, had he rolled the opposite way he would now be isolated on the other side of the room with the Tank between them. But fortune had smiled on him again. 'Just don't stop smiling now.' He thought too himself as he ran with Blue, as hard as he could. Behind them the tank dislodged its fist from the wall and brought it careening across the room, catching a shelf with the back swing that was subsequently sent hurtling towards the escaping duo, just as one of the Licker's pounced. 'You've
got too be shitting me.' Was all Christian managed to think as the shelf impacted with the Licker, sending it sprawling to the ground. 'That's the sort of luck you only
read about.' But Christian didn't care, beggars can't be choosers, and anyhting that went their way right now was fine by his standards.
In the other corner of the room he saw several of the Licker's converging on the figure of the man that had entered the building seconds earlier. Another nameless face in this apocalypse, one that would probably soon be forgotten. Christian was indifferent to this, as far as he was concerned it was
that guys fault that the zombies had found them. If his death helped him escape with Blue, then at least some good had come out of it.
As they dashed headlong towards the gap the Tank came hurtling at them again, its massive form hiding considerable speed. It took a running lunge at the duo and Christian did the only thing that seemed appropriate, he pushed Blue aside from the sweeping paw and took the full brunt of the blow himself. He was sent spiraling out the gap in the wall onto the street outside. His body rolled once, twice, three times, before coming to a stop in the middle of the road. Christian knew he was going to die. But for Blues sake, not yet. He struggled to get up, but every fiber in his body resonated against it, his very mortal coil screamed for him to lay there, on the bitumen road, and let his life ebb away. He felt he at least deserved a cigarette.
"Blue.... run.." He screamed weakly from where he lay, propping himself up on his shoulder and reaching to retrieve his magnum 'concubine.' He could still make out dim shapes through the fog and darkness, but was too far away to be able to discern what was happening inside. 'Please Blue.. run.' screamed his mind. He clasped the pistol tightly in his left hand, as his shaking right hand reached for his packet of smokes. They had been crushed in his fall. 'Great. I don't even get to go out with a smoke.' Christian sighed, watched, and waited. All the time hoping, and praying for Blue to run; as if the very force of his own mind would aid her.
<spoiler=and I draw a blank> Shame.. I like Christian, but I at least want Blue to live.. come on, such an interesting Character.
