Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Uncovering II

WOOSH!!

A bullet flew out the gun going straight for Just_Cooked forehead. A wicked smile crawled onto the face of the shooter. He stared straight at him waiting for the gruesome scene.

Blink!

As he blinked his eyes, Just_Cooked disappeared from his sight. Not just him the bullet that flew out of his gun and his gun itself was gone.

"What the f—"

Click!!

He felt the gun muzzle at the right side of his head. 'What in the world!' He froze completely afraid that moving may make Kenny shoot.

"Kenny, I don't know what manner of witchcraft you're using, but please let me go. After everything I've done for you, it's the least you can do. I was just angry, ok, I'm sorry. Just let me go. I'm going to die anyways, with this bite." he pointed to a part of his leg.

There was a ghastly bite on his leg, the flesh torn and swollen like something had tried to rip it clean off.

"Ok. Tell me everything you know about me and May. No questions, just straight responses, I don't have much time." Just_Cooked, who is playing as Kenny, said with a sense of urgency.

"…" he was surprised. 'What kind of request is that?' he thought. 'Did he finally lose his mind?'

Just_Cooked racked the slide, the sharp metallic snap echoing through the silence. "I won't repeat myself."

"Ok! Ok! Sheesh!"

Tina went into the kitchen. She saw slices of bread and some other food. She made herself a sandwich and ate to her heart content. Well she ate till her energy bar was full. She then grabbed a burger in real life and chowed it down, using a can of soda to wash it all down with a satisfied sigh.

"Okay, back to the game." she left the kitchen and went into the room Just_Cooked saw the book. 'JC isn't back yet. He must be quite a foodie, yet he was acting up before. Men, they never change.' she walked to the place he dropped the book.

She picked it up and began to examine it. 'This lock is quite sturdy. Thank God he isn't here, or he would have blown a hole into this thing.' she removed her baseball cap, and took out the hair pin holding her (May's) hair together.

Her (May's) hair came loose and flowed down her back. She proceeded to use the hair pin to pick the lock.

Nothing

It didn't work. 'I guess this game is more realistic than I thought. I think I was way in over my head thinking I could pick it.'

The lock is small and metallic, made of brass. It has a circular shape, about the size of a coin, with a tiny keyhole in the center. The lock was simple, with no flashy designs—just a smooth surface. The mechanism was small enough to fit neatly into the side of the diary, and the latch that holds it closed is barely noticeable, just enough to keep the book secure.

"Wait… aren't I playing as May, there should be a key on her or something." she began searching the several pockets on her cover overall.

"Bingo!" she found a key in one of the pockets. She placed it in the lock and hoped for the best.

Clink-click!!

It unlocked!

She opened it and began reading through it. It seemed someone had beat her to it because the pages had been painted black haphazardly. She could barely make out any of the words.

She was about to give up but then she saw something. At the back of the page, she saw a name of a person and a name of a school.

"Uh…" she mumbled to herself . "JC, come look at this." she said lightly.

Silence!

"JC!"

"JC!"

She took the book and walked to the downstairs stairs that led to the garage. She walked down cautiously. She brought out a bat from are game inventory (The only thing she was allowed to bring out in that particular game).

She came out slowly and saw a guy on the floor, tied to a pillar with jumper cables. While Just_Cooked was at the side not moving a bit. He was inactive.

"What the hell?"

RARGHHH!

The guy was no longer normal. His skin had become grey, his eyes white. He began thrusting and scrambling trying to free himself, but it was no use. Bloodlust was in its eyes. It growled violently at Tina.

"JC, this is not the time to be inactive" Tina swallowed a lump in her throat and held the bat tighter.

RARGHHH!

It reacted more violently to her talking. It scrambled even harder. She raised the bat up in a defensive position.

It began bleeding from the strain of the cables, but it didn't stop. It kept moving and scrambling.

SNAP!!

The cables broke lose.

The zombie head faced down, it breathed heavily, blood dripping from its injuries. Eventually, the injuries closed up, but the bite mark on its leg didn't.

It snapped his head towards Tina.

FWOOSH!!

It began to run towards her, its movement was haphazard nothing like a normal human. It swayed unusually as it ran.

RARGHHH!!!

JUMP!

It leaped into the air stretching out his hands to grab her as he descended.

Inhale!!

Tina took a breath in.

Swoosh!!

With great speed, she brought the full force of the bat to the zombie mid flight. The bat carried might and was going straight for the zombie head.

BOOM!!

- - -

Her bat landed straight on Just_Cooked head.

"Ouch!! Watch were you swing that thing. Jeez!!" he rubbed his head.

Tina was dumbfounded. 'So that is the power of a level 15'

At that brief moment when she swung the bat, Just_Cooked appeared right behind the zombie mid flight.

He place the tip of his fingers on its head then…

[ONE-INCH PUNCH]

BANG!!

The force of the blow completely destroyed the head splattering blood onto the floor, leaving a now headless body.

'Strong!'

That was the only word she could use to describe what happened.
