Peace. Love. Zombies.

Chapter 8:Faith and Thieves

We’ve been in Orlando for a few days now but we’re leaving again. I hop in the car and so does Blake, Eli, Juliet, and Fiona. She sits in the passenger seat next to me while the boys sit in the back. I put on my shades for the sun glares at me brightly. Staci, Michael, Lindsay, Chase, and Carter were in Blake’s silver Jetta following us. I drive down the road heading up to a small town on the coast of South Carolina. Fiona had fallen asleep two hours in. I got a call from Staci.

“Pullover, Lindsay has to pee,” she told me.

“Okay,” I said. I hung up the phone and pull into the nearest gas station. I shake Fiona awake. “Go inside and distract that employee in there.”

She nodded and went inside with Lindsay. His eyes went from his book to Fiona. I can see her say, “My friend and I need to use a bathroom.” She flutters her eyelashes and leans forward giving the boy an opportunity to look down her shirt. I get out the car and begin to siphon the gas. I cough then the gasoline made contact with my taste buds. I cough and put the gas pump into the car. I see Fiona pull the boy into the back room by his pants. I laughed at the sight. I walk over to the other gas pump and siphon the gas to put it in Blake’s car. I wait until Lindsay and Fiona come back into my sight. I quickly return the pumps to their proper location. Fiona slipped a paper in his hand and winked. She said, “Come on Lindsay,” and they walked to the car. They got in and we were off again.

-/24 Hours Later\-

We arrived at Jasper, SC at ten am. Home of 4745 people, this sunny place had several people on the roads and at least twenty on foot. We got some burgers and sat in the parking lot eating. I sighed as I remembered the last time I had such a burger. It’s been so long since I’ve watched a good show, so long since my life was turning back to normal. I kept a straight face ever since the day we left Baton Rouge. I got up when finished from my burger and went to the car. I waited for the others to do the same.

“Gwyn! We’ve been on the road for days! Can’t we take a break and live a little?” Staci whined. I turned at her and looked at her with a hard questioning look.

“Sure,” I shrugged. The group cheered and soon we were going towards a bigger city. A girl was sitting on her suitcase on the side of the road. She looked like she was running away from home. Her dirty blonde hair was pulled into a mess bun and stayed together with a pencil. She had clear blue eyes that were downcast. She wore a loose white shirt with Japanese symbols on it. The sleeves slid off her dirty shoulders and her black cami could be seen. She wore jean shorts that stopped above her mid-thigh.

“Faith,” Eli and I whispered. I pulled over immediately, stopping ten feet past her. We stepped out and Staci pasted our car confused. I ran over to Faith.

“Faith, is that you?!” I asked, already knowing the answered. She turned around and grinned widely. She hopped up and ran up to me. She engulfed me into a big hug. “What are you doing here?!” I asked.

“I had to run! These are stolen clothes but they fit. Stole the suitcase to carry them in,” I smirked.

“I always knew I taught you well!” We hugged and I got her into the car.

“Hey Eli!” she beamed.

“Hey Faith,” he replied coldly. She grimaced slightly.

“Guys, meet Faith Bennett! Faith meet Blake, Juliet, and Fiona!” I introduced.

“Hey,” they all waved. I squealed and we drove off on the empty road. We hit 90 in a matter of seconds. I screamed with a delight. Finding one of my best friends was awesome! We drive and end up going to a mall.

“So, Gwyn, where’s Peter? If anyone, I’d think he’d be with you,” Faith said. I stayed silent. “Gwyn? Yoo-hoo? Earth to Gwyn!” Faith ranted on. Eli put a hand on here shoulder and she shut up. We waited for the others to get here.

“Ugh!” I groaned. “Anyone have a hacky sack?” They all grunted in a “no”. I groaned. They arrived soon enough and I squealed. I ran up and hugged Staci.

“MY GOSH! I thought you guys would never get here!” I said.

“Calm. Down!” Staci said between breaths. She pushed me off of her. Man this girl has gotten stronger over the weeks. We all walked in to the mall and just roamed really. I introduced Faith to the rest of the crew. We all made our way to Hot Topic and all hell broke loose. The gang tore through the story and I sat on the counter and spoke into the intercom.

“Hello Hot Topic shoppers, we are now having the five finger sale on EVERYTHING! Everything is free! Grab what you can before it’s all gone!” I said. The rest of the shoppers grabbed things off the shelf and just left. All of us got skateboards except Lindsay, Fiona, Juliet, and Staci. They ran as the rest of us skated through the mall. We laughed hysterically as we made our way past people taking their food.

“Okay guys,” I said when we stopped, “go where ever and steal whatever, just get to your car in an hour exactly. I’m going to create some trouble!” I said mischievously. They all nodded in agreement. I hopped on my board and went to Express. I got a bunch of clothes for the girls and some for the guys, none for me. I had the lady put it all in a bag and off I went on my board. The cashier screamed at me as I left. I grinded on a railing down some stairs. I made my way to a skate shop a place I can hide. I grabbed a bunch of clothes and headed for the changing room. I heard feet stomp by the shop and I let out a sigh. I turned around to see Blake putting on a shirt. I immediately blushed.

“I’m sorry,” I said, “I didn’t--.” He interrupted me by put his lips on mine softly. He pulled away quickly. He smirked while I frowned.

“So why are you here again?” he asked.

“Well as I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted,” I smirked. “I didn’t know you were in here. I was running away from security because I stole like a lot of things from Express.” I grinned. He smirked.

“Well I was going to rob this store. You going to tag along or what?” he asked.

“Sure,” I smirked. We walked out of the room and discretely put hats, shoes, and shirts in out bags. “Hey can I get a deck for me and my brother here?” I asked. He smirks as I bat my eyelashes at him.

“Yeah,” he says, nearly drooling. I flip my hair and puff my chest out. I must look like a slut, I say to myself. “Which deck do you want, my little amant?” He smirks. I giggle at his French. I pointed at one that’s base was black and it had a deep purple lace-like design on the bottom. He transfers the wheels from my stolen board to the new one. He does the same with Blake.

“That will be $147.36,” he smiled. I walked behind the counter and grabbed him by the pants.

“Or…” I trailed off. I gave Blake a look and he was picking up the boards. I lead the guy into to dressing room. I give him a light peck on the lips. I lift my leg and kick him in the stomach. The force was so strong that his back hit the wall hard. He laid on the ground, his body limp. I ran as he groaned. I grabbed the board and some more clothes and skated off. I laughed as I stole a cookie from a kid and a beverage as we skated through the food court. I laughed and I did a 360 and skated out of the mall and to the car. We made our way to the car, laughing. The others were already in the car. I jumped off my board and got in the driver’s seat while Blake got in the passenger’s seat. I slammed my foot on the gas and the van lurched forward. We zoomed out of the parking lot and soon we were on our way Tennessee. We all laughed hysterically showing each other what we stole.

“Man! We are going to be on the most wanted list soon!” Fiona shouted. We laughed as drove to a new location.
