Chapter One of a yet to be named story

It all started out as a normal September day. Waking up at six, o-clock in the morning, out the door by six thirty. Only today was different, today everything and everyone changes. On the way to school the usual traffic was lighter than usual. The joggers seemed to be behind schedule, and the radio seemed to be broken, Andrei connected the IPod to the AUX port on the radio. Setting it to play on random and hitting the play button. Ironically the first song played was My Plague by Slipknot followed by Highway to Hell by ACDC. When he pulled into the parking lot at school many spots were empty, but not abnormally empty because it was only six fifty eight still had forty five minutes until school started. After parking and walking to the amphitheater a few of his friends were sitting in the usual spot. Instead of hearing the first bell announcing everyone to go to class, came a voice over the PA that was one everyone knew.
“Will all the students on campus please report to the cafeteria please, there Is a special schedule today.”
All the students walked to the cafeteria where all the tables were set up, just like it would be for lunch. Andrei and his friends all sit around in the back corner on the far side from where the vice principle walked in. after walking in he asked everyone to be quiet so he could take roll. With a big stack of papers in front of him he goes through one by one calling students’ names out alphabetically.
As the names were called people suspicions grew. “Andrei?” “here”… “Ryan?” “here”… “Robby?” “here”… “Nathan?” “here”
“Where is everyone?” asked Robby looking around with a confused look on his face.
“I don’t know” replied Ryan “but this is boring as fuck!”
Nathan (who prefers to be called Nate) raises his hand “hey why are we just sitting here in the cafeteria, and where is everyone else?”
The Vice principle looks uneasily around and answers. “The CDC has sent orders to all of northern Californian schools, businesses and government facilities to go into lockdown and remain that way until told otherwise. The National Guard and other armed forces are going around evacuating schools communities and buildings one by one taking everyone to safety.”
“But what’s going on? Why are we leaving, and where are we going?” asked Nate
“I don’t know, all I was told was to keep everyone in a safe place with the doors locked and the wait for help to come.” Says the vice principle to Nate. Andrei motions for Ryan and Robby to come closer to him and Nate.
“I think I know what’s going on.” Says Andrei
“What’s going on?” Asked Ryan
“Don’t you watch the news?” asked Andrei? But without waiting for a reply “you should try it sometime. You might actually learn something” joked Andrei with a smirk on his face. “Well if you did you would know about the disease that spread through Africa and into Europe and South America.”
“I know about that!” said Nate. “It spreads like wildfire, and earlier this week it was reported in the Washington DC area.”
“Oh very good Nate. Didn’t expect that one coming.” Said Andrei rather surprised
“Ok that sucks and all but what the hell does it have to do with this?” asked Ryan with the usual look of incompetence on his face.
“I was getting to that you cock monger!” snarled Andrei. “Well the disease infects you and you show no symptoms, nothing until it kills you.”
“Oh shit that sucks!” said Nate “So what the hell is going on?”
“Well if you’re really that stupid.” Replied a voice from the behind them. “You won’t live very long”
“They all turned in unison but Ryan was the first to let out a reply. “Who the fuck are you?” said Ryan with a look of utmost confusion on his face.
None of them really knew who Trevor was, none except for Andrei “Hey Trevor what’s up? Long time no see. How you been?”
“I have been fine I guess, after the outbreak in Rwanda I went out to the country to see a friend about stocking up supplies for a time like this.” Answers Trevor “I knew they wouldn’t be able to keep it back for very long. It was only a matter of time before it broke through the blockades in Africa.
“What are you talking about?” asked Robby. “You have known this was going to happen for a while, and not told anyone?”
“It’s an everyman for himself world out there. Just looking out for number one” replied Trevor. “Don’t you know anything about the infection?
“Well no not really.” Replied Robby with a look around to see that everyone seemed to agree.
“Ok, well it all started in Africa, a few scattered infection and mysterious killings and missing children. Then about 3 weeks ago a massive explosion in cases came from South Africa, the Congo, and Egypt. After that the president sent troops to the Jordan and Middle East to try and keep the infection contained in African and out of the Middle East and Europe. Soon after reports came in from San Paulo Brazil and northern Chile after that I realized it was only a matter of time before this whole place went to shit, so I talked to my friend and we started fixing up his ranch outside Sacramento. It’s now fortified with food water and a few cars to get around where need be.” As Trevor finished talking Robby looked a little surprised, Nate looked a little bit lost, Ryan looked bored, and Andrei was just looking around as if waiting.
“Wow your basically ready for anything aren’t you?” asked Ryan.
“Yeah I hope so…” started Trevor, but just then a scream came from some of the students sitting towards the front of the cafeteria. A figure was stumbling towards them slowly but something was wrong. It may have been the piece of his neck that was missing or his red eyes. But as he stumbled towards the window students started to panic, and the vice principle frantically tried to keep the peace. As it reached the window and started to beat on it slowly methodically like a clock Bang Bang Bang people started panicking even worse. As another one of the things came into view the Vice Principle had lost all control of the situation and was beginning to panic also.
When the glass finally gave in to the beating things went from bad to worse. As they entered and grabbed hold of the nearest people and began tearing into the flesh as more of them began to appear from seemingly all directions. One of the things that came through the window grabbed the vice principle and ripped out a chunk from his torso. Right where his spleen should be, or used to be. Amid the chaos Andrei grabbed Ryan, Trevor, Nate, and Robby “Follow me, I think I know how we can get out of here.” He screamed trying to push his way through the crowd and closer to the back door into a hopefully closed off part of the hallway.
“We are so fucked right now!” screamed Nate as they closed the door into the hall right as one of the things slammed against the door trying to somehow reach through and grab one of them. But losing interest moved on, to the more attainable victims in the room.
“No were not. We can get out of here with my car.” Replied Andrei frantically looking around for a way out that might be safest way to the parking lot.
“Hey we need to go to my house.” Said Trevor. “Before we do anything else. I have a few guns and shit.”
“Ok well first we need to get out and to my car so we can leave.” Replied Andrei.
Working their way around the hall they got to the front doors leading into the parking lot. The scene outside was not as bad as imagined. None of the things in sight and it didn’t look like anyone else was running around the lot. As they opened the door they all made a mad dash for the far side of the parking lot to the only shitty looking car around. As they reached the car they realized on small problem. The car was a two seated truck, not nearly big enough for five teenage boys to all fit inside. But in the current situation the three people who got stuck in the back were grateful enough to be alive, and less worried with how comfortable they were sitting. As Ryan and Andrei got into the cab of the truck Robby and Nate hopped in the back. “Run Trevor run. One of the things is right behind you!” screamed Robby as Trevor ran closer and closer to the bed of the truck. At the last possible second Trevor leaped into the air and landed in the back of the truck halfway in halfway out. As Andrei dropped the clutch and hit the gas the car stalled, Andrei had forgotten the e-brake was still engaged. As quickly as he could he disengaged the e-brake and started the car again. But not before the sounds of Trevor’s screams flooded the cabin.
“Ah FUCK!” screamed Trevor. “It fucking bit me!” as Andrei got the car started and the sound of the tires replaced the sound of Trevor’s screams.
“What happened?” asked Andrei through a open window as they were finally moving through the eerily calm streets.
“It fucking bit my foot.” Yelled Trevor. “But it didn’t get through my shoe.”
“Oh shit sorry man I forgot the e-brake was on.” Replied Andrei with a sincere apology. ”Well hold on were going to get to your house in a few minutes.”
The way to Trevor’s’ house was eerily deserted. Not people or anymore of those things. Just abandoned cars and blood. Since Trevor lived on the outskirts of town it took a good ten minutes to arrive. The area looked almost normal. Except for the mail truck and a few broken windows.
“Okay, so what are we going to do?” asked Ryan as they pull up to Trevor’s single story duplex.
“I have a few guns and bats, just stuff we can use as weapons.” Replied Trevor jumping out of the bed of the truck and walking around to the walkway leading to the front door.
“Robby and Nate stay here. Let us know if you see or hear anything. We will be back in a few minutes.” Directed Andrei to the two still in the bed of the truck. “Me Ryan and Trevor will go inside and grab what we can.”
“Get me something Fun.” Said Robby with a slight smile on his face.
As they walked to the door Trevor Andrei and Ryan all looked and listened for anything that might sound like it would eat them. “Okay you guys we need to get in and back out in like five minutes.” Said Trevor as he walked up to the front door. Slowly opening it and looking around he stepped through the threshold into the house. Instantly walking down the hall on the left and into the closed room at the end of the hall. Andrei and Ryan could only follow not knowing where to go. “Andrei open the top drawer of the dresser on the left of the window and grab the black box and bring it to me.” Ordered Trevor as he threw his mattress off his box spring. “Ryan you open the closet door and grab the two baseball bats from the right side, and the duffle bag that should be behind the bats.” Ryan glanced down at the box spring on his way to the closet and saw four guns each with two extra clips and a box of ammo next to it.
“Here it is.” Said Andrei as he put the box down next to Trevor. “What’s in it?” As Trevor opened the box Andrei caught a glimpse of a sleek black gun that was unmistakable. “HOLY SHIT!” yelled Andrei “that’s a Desert Eagle! Where did you get one of those?”
As Trevor handed the gun to Andrei with a smile he said “I have connections and that’s all you need to know. Now hurry up and get the duffle bag from Ryan and stuff everything into it, so we can get the fuck out of here.” As Andrei grabs the bag from Ryan and fills it with the load of guns and bats his eye catches a glimpse of another treat. As he closes the door a foot or two his eyes light up like a Christmas tree.
“Hey Trevor can I borrow your machete?” Andrei puts the machete clip in his pocket like it was a long lost part of him. Trevor slings the duffle bag around his neck and motions for Ryan to follow him.
“You can keep it Andrei.” Said Trevor looking at the machete “I do kind of owe you for back at the school.” As they walked down the hall Trevor opened one last door in the hall and pulled out a brand new pair of military combat boots. “I’ll put these on in the car.” Laughed Trevor. “Cus we should probably get moving ya know?”
“okay just stay behind me and when its clear get in the truck.” Said Andrei as he began to open the door. As soon as it was opened he leveled his new desert eagle in case anything way waiting for them at the door. So far nothing. “okay guys go” said Andrei as he walked out the door and towards the corner.
As he reached the corner the bushes in front of him started to rattle. After a few seconds that seemed like hours it finally came out. Falling flat on its face the ex mailman groaned and began trying to get back to its feet. As it stood up they saw something that would horrify them for weeks. The mailman was missing half the skin on his face and a large chunk of his neck was also gone. The sound that came from its mouth sounded like a drowning dog.
“Shit, what the fuck!” screamed Ryan. Andrei stepped in front of him and leveled the gun with the standing corpse and pulled the trigger. BANG! Its chest exploded in a cloud of reddish blackish blood, falling over the corpse remained motionless for half a second. Then began stirring again. Attempting to stand again.
“What the fuck man! I just shot that thing in the chest!” screamed Andrei “It should be dead” as he pulled the trigger again and again round after round destroying more and more of the mailman but the mailman kept moving trying to stand up and get them within reach. Finally one round connected with the head blowing out pieces of brain matter and metal. Suddenly it stopped moving. “FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!” screamed Andrei at what remained of the body on the ground.
Nate and Robby turn the corner and both in unison say “What the hell was that?” both had heard the commotion and the gun go off.
“Nothing we just ran into the mailman” replied Trevor as he started walking to the truck again.
“Oh shit what the hell?” said Robby as he looked down at the grass that used to be green and was now blood red and full of body parts.
“Let’s go” said Andrei as he walked over the body and followed Trevor. As they all returned to their spots in the car and Andrei started it with shaking hands, no one talked. But they were all in deep thought.
Driving out of the neighborhood and down the street to and empty parking lot Andrei parked the truck and got out to talk to the rest of them, they needed a plan, and they also needed to split their new instruments of survival.
“here you go” said Trevor as he gave Ryan a barrette and handed him an extra 2 clips along with a box of fifty rounds to refill his new toy when he needed to. Ryan gave Trevor a small thank you and began looking at his new toy. Practiced aiming and pretended to pull the trigger and blow away one of those things.
“This one’s for you Nate” said Trevor as he tossed a standard police issue glock along with 2 clips and another box of fifty rounds at Nate.
“Where did you get all this?” asked Nate looking at his gun with a look of amazement.
“With enough money you can buy anything” replied Trevor as he reached into the bag and pulled out a Colt .45 and handed it to Trevor along with 3 extra clips and another box of fifty rounds.
“Damn Trevor. When I asked for something fun I didn’t expect this. Haha” said Robby as he took the gun in hand and started looking it over.
“Oh and I also have 2 baseball bats who wants them? Said Trevor looking into the bag one last time.
Robby and Ryan both reached forwards to grab the bats out of Trevor’s hands.
“You guys we need to talk” says Andrei as he gives a quick glance around to make sure they were still the only ones in the parking lot.

When Clowns attack

Drip drip the water dropped of the roofs as Andrei walked down the street to the mail box to get the mail. "Andrei do this Andrei do that man its all I ever hear" Andrei says to himself. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a figure hunched over in the shadows of a gigantic RV. "Hey you okay?" he asks. As he gets closer he smell the stench of "Carni" he says with a shudder. "Hey man you okay or what "
Suddenly it stirs it comes towards the light. When it reaches the laminated glow of the street lamp Andrei's eyes go wide with horror. He turns and sprints back toward his house at the top speed his legs would carry his body. As he reaches the house and slams the door and only relaxes after he hears the click of the bolt on the lock snap into place. "Oh no" he breathes under his breath as he remembers his parents went on a month long trek to Australia. Instinctively he grabs the phone and dials the first number that comes to mind.
"Nathan its Andrei its happening."
"What's happening?" Nathan asks bewildered.
"The clowns man the clowns are hear they found me. The sick basterds are actually here."
"Oh my god what, how, when?" Nathan ask with a shake voice. "I don't know, I was getting the mail and I saw this guy right, and then I was like are you okay man and he didn't move or anything, and then I said it again, and them he came at me and when he was in the light I saw it, man I saw it was horrible the smell it smelled like a Carni. " Andrei started panting from the effort he put into the conversation.
"Oh my god." Nathan said. "What do we do" Nathan asked
"I don't know meet me at the hideout, in ten minutes okay." Okay came Nathan's response."
As soon as he hung up the phone with Nathan he turned it back on to call another one of his contacts. "Hello Robert its Andrei its happened the clowns are here they found me and they want to get me. We have to do something. Meet me and Nathan at the hide out in ten minutes okay."
"Okay" came Roberts response. "Its go time baby." and with that Robert hung up the phone.


Ten Minutes later at the hideout A.K.A. Andrei's Garage.

"Okay you guys we all knew this day would come and we all knew we would have to do something about it." Andrei said with a voice that was to perfect to be impulsive it had to be rehearsed but that's not important. "We must stop the clowns they have tortured the youth of the world for to long and no the basterds have come after me at home. Its time to end this once and for all."
As he finished his sentence they all turned to look at a sound that came from the corner. It was a clown and it was spying on them. Andrei stood up and moved toward it as he came closer he smelled the Carni on it. It started to move for its weapon. As it reached Andrei also brandished a triple barrel ruber band gun A.K.A. RBG. Moments before he pulled the trigger he uttered a phrase that soon all clowns would grow to fear and hate. Asta Lavesta Clowny. BANG the sound of the clown piercing rubber bands leaving the barrel and entering the chest of the clown. As it crumpled to the concert floor of the of the garage never to torture another teen or kid again.
"Dude that was awesome u owned it like a mother." came Nathan's response to the previous event.
"Ya u kicked its butt. That was better than the time you gave Eddy Harp that mean beat down and that was something." was Roberts response
"Ya I know" Andrei sais with a smirk "but back to business we must take out the head clown in charge, and all its minions will all fall at the hands of all who appose them."
"What are you crazy" Nathan asks with a look of shock on his face.
"Ya" Robert adds with a look that remembered Nathan's.
No I am not crazy I am aggravated I have had enough if this clown nonsense I like many other people don't want to have to deal with the horror that follows every where the clowns go. I want my kids to not have to worry about some crazy freak hiding behind a colored face and a big red nose."
"Wow" they both said in unison for they have never heard their leader say or speak in such a way it was inspiring to them they both felt like eliminating every clown in sight. "I'm in" said Nathan.
"Me too" said Robert.
"Ok but I have to make a few calls to some friends" Said Nathan
"What you don't have friends" Came Roberts response. Nathan's face turned red with anger and slapped Robert across the face leaving a mark that would last a long time. "Sorry I was joking" Robert said almost crying from the burning in his face.
Ten minutes later Nathan came back and started helping prepare for the mission that lay ahead. After they finished they did a quick inventory and discovered that every thing was in order. They left for the secret clown headquarters.
On the way they notice they were drawing a crowd. "Nathan who did you call?" Andrei Asks with a puzzled look on his face. "A few friends at the A..C. O . The Anti Clown Organization. As they reached the home of George W. Bush they had a multitude around them.
Andrei stood to speak to them before descending into George W. .Bush's basement .
"Hello my anti clown friends I stand before you as a man and fellow clown hater. We have been under the clown oppression for too long. I do not expect to come back without the big red nose of the head clown." As he finished the sentence the great silence was broken by a eruption of applause from the multitude. "If I don't make it back today I would like someone to tell my fish that my last thoughts were of them and that I will terribly miss them. I would also like someone to feed them. With that he turned to the elevator to the center of the earth and the clown headquarters.
As the elevator stopped and they dismounted they found themselfs in a gigantic hall with pillars of bone holding up the structure. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a security camera he walked to it and said one thing "Clowns I Hate Clowns " with that he destroyed the camera.
As they entered the door to the clown congress they discovered a big open space in the middle and decided to set up there. "Set up there." Andrei said pointing to the spot. As they finished setting up the clowns finally responded to the intrusion. Hundreds of clowns came from all directions screaming there battle cry's "Here's Johnny." Over and over they repeated it. Then the firing began. Clowns started dropping all around. After hours of reloading and firing reloading and firing it was over the kill counts on each of there wrists counted that Nathan had killed more than 423 clowns and Andrei Killed more than 592 while Robert killed about 413.
Then came the laugh of the high clown Bonzo. "Its over" said Andrei "you lose there are no more of you're useless minions around to protect you. Its just me you and the RBG RPG in my hand. Any last words."
"HA HA HA"Bonzo stared to laugh but was cut shot by the anti clown RPG sent at him. Now he was just a pile of ashes to be swept away by the next breeze though there was no breeze at the center of the earth.
"Come on guys lets go home."Andrei says as he leans over to pickup the nose of Bonzo the now no more high clown.
"Man we kicked ass today didn't we?." Asked Nathan
"No not today every day" Responded Robert.
Later on the surface Andrei had Told everyone the horrors they had survived. When they all had to go there separate ways Andrei and his friends turned to head home. Then suddenly he heard his name being called out from behind. It was being called by a girl, s girl he had always admired but never talked to.
As much as he had been through today he still didn't have the courage to talk to her or even ask her out. "Hey I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime, you know see a movie kill some clowns stuff like that.
"Ya sure I would love that."
And as she bent closer to him to give him a kiss he opened his eyes and realized that it was all a dream.



Note: Unfoutunetly no clowns were hurt in the making of this story sorry.
