CHAPTER TEN

The group moved forward in total silence, watching where they stepped, watching how loud they breathe, the stairs creaked as they walked up them, Violet wincing every step she made. When they made it up almost to the top there was a loud crash and some of the roof came down.

Violet pointed her gun up as they halted to a stop, Joel moved forward shining his light everywhere around them to find the mutating cordeceps the whole way through. They walked slowly and carefully through as Ellie stepped on one that cracked as Violet head snapped to hers, and then up to the top of the stairs where she heard a tense rumbling.

When they made it to the top Joel opened the door carefully, Violet entering after her checking to se ever sister near.

To Violet's left saw Joel struggling with the clicker before Tess and Ellie tripped over as the clicker neared, Violet signalled Ellie and Lily to crawl away while Tess and Violet led the clicker away. Violet saw Joel face to face with a clicker falling to the ground as she ran his way and shot three times in the back of the clickers head.
