The Last Survivor

He stared at the monster crawling towards him but it looked very blurred

It got near him and prepared to leap at his throat again but he punched it , it flew backwards

Rajesh crawled to the gla.s.s door but figure grabbed it and Rajesh wrestled it , when the little girl came , opened the gla.s.s door and threw a hammer for Rajesh

Rajesh didn"t hesitate and grabbed the hammer - and swung it at the figure

It made a sick SPLAAAT sound when he hit its skull in a single blow

He threw it downwards and repeatedly bashed it until its brain got splattered all over the floor

"Ah ! Man !" Rajesh breathed a sigh of relief "Well , nice to meet you"

"Is she dead ?" She asked nervously

"She ?" Rajesh asked , he looked at the dead figure to see that it was a women

"Oh , Yeah , Well.....Yes" Rajesh stammered

"Good , I think she was a monster"Preeti replied nervously

"Look" Rajesh bent down "I don"t know what happened to your parents but I"ll look after until then"

"So...What do we do now ?" Preeti asked

"We have to get help before the sun sets" Rajesh suggested

"Yeah , I think maybe you are right , it"s dangerous when the sun sets down" Preeti said , Rajesh grabbed her hand "Okay , let"s go , stay close to me"

Saying this Rajesh opened the gla.s.s door and they stepped out in the evening sun , the sun Ray"s nearly blinded Rajesh

He and she walked towards the back gate , when

they were nearly there when Preeti stopped

Rajesh saw her and bent down "Hey , sweet pea , what"s the matter ?

She seemed to in some kind of dilemma , she finally answered "Rajesh , what if my parents come home and I"m not there"

Rajesh could not tell her about the message he heard from the lady , she will be heartbroken

"Oh ! Ahhhhhh....they"ll....track us , they"re smart but first they need you to be safe , okay , so we go , find some help and you will be re-united with your parents , Got it ?" Rajesh explained

"Okay" She hesitadidly said

They found some people pushing a wrecked up car away from a totalled lightning pole

Sparks sizzled from it , the shot out and danced crazily around the road

"Oh Man !" One of them complained

"You cannot take the old mans pick up like this , he"s gonna murder you" The fat one giggled

"Stop giggling you little ball of grief" One of them argued

"Yeah , because you burnt the only tree in your forest , I wouldn"t worry much" Saying that he burst out laughing

"Why don"t you shut up ?" The skinny one threatened

It was then when Rajesh swung the door open , it made a loud CREAK sound when it opened

"JESUS CHRIST !" The fat one shrieked "Please don"t eat us !" he kept his hand above like he was surrendering before them

"Whoa ! Guys calm down , we"re not gonna hurt you" Rajesh protested

The skinny one breathed a sigh of relief "Pheww ! , looked like we"re gonna end on our doom" Then he calmed down a little and loosened his limbs "Well , I"m Rohit , nice to meet you"

Rajesh and Rohit shaked hands

The fat one also breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his limbs "Well , I"m Yash nice to meet you too"

"I"m Rajesh but you can call me Raj , this is Preeti" He motioned to her

"Yeah man , nice to meet you , but what are you doing with the girl and where are her parents" Rohit asked eyeing Rajesh suspiciously

Rajesh cannot tell them that he was a stranger who scurried into her home and now is luring her away from her house on the basis of a thousand lies

"Well....." Sweat poured out of his forehead " I"m actually her.....babysitter" The word actually burst out of his mouth

"Babysitter ?" They both shrugged in unison

"Yeah , I"m her babysitter, her parents are out of town and Ummm...I was there when this c.r.a.p started" Rajesh stammered

He was about to say something when Yash shrieked something

"Hey , Rohit we gotta hurry , those undeads are closing in"

Rajesh turned to see about a dozen of them closing after them

Yash and Rohit started to push the car forward

"Don"t stand there , help us" Rohit screamed

Those things were closing in very fast , chill after chill invaded Rajesh"s body , his knees were practically folding up

They pushed the car with all their might

It only budged a little

Soon Preeti joined and they were now pushing - and the wrecked car came out of the way of a giant red pickup

Rajesh , Preeti and Rohit leaped inside while Yash jumped at the back of the pickup

Soon , Rohit twisted the ignition key and they roared away squashing one of the Dead"s head

It was now light time , a pale slice of moon floated in the sky which gave very dim light , making it difficult for Rohit to drive without avoiding one of the craters

"Well , buddy , where we are going right now ?" Rajesh asked out of curiosity

"We are going to my family farm , it will be safe until the fence holds up" Rohit said keeping his eyes straight on the road

"Hey , Yash !" Rajesh called

"Yeah Buddy , what now ?" Yash said picking his nose

Ah ! Gross ! Rajesh thought

"Ahhhhhh...Well , what was the "burnt the only tree in your forest" , what were you two exactly talking about ?" Rajesh asked

"Mind your own business, Raj" Rohit frowned a scowl on his face

"Do you really wanna know ?" Yash asked giggling

"Yeah , if you know the whole story" Rajesh said

"Of course man , where do we start , when we at our home , he was making an omelette, he was too into it when the gas sparked and one of the spark led a fire on his....." Yash voice trailed off as he managed to hold a loud laugh

"In his where ?" Rajesh asked

"In his Private part" Then he and Rajesh burst out laughing , Preeti also forced a fake laugh which can not lead to her behaving like a klutz

"It - It was an accident Man , I didn"t really put my underwear on fire deliberately " That cracked up Preeti too , she was now laughing in real

As they laughed their heads off , the pickup came to a squealing stop and they stopped near a farm

Rohit got out , so do Yash and others

"Hey Man , I think I should leave now, my Mum"s gonna worry about me by now so , take care" Yash said as he hugged Rohit and then he shaked hands with Rajesh , sat in the pickup and roared away

There stood a small house about a two-storey , painted in white and made with wood planks , there also stood a large red-coloured barn on the right side of the house

The land was secured by wooden perimeter

Just then the house door swung open and an old man around sixty"s stepped out of the house , he was wearing denim overalls over dark green jumpsuit covered in tiny pieces of haystack

"Thank G.o.d you"re okay" The man said hugging Rohit

"Dad , the whole city"s in chaos and the disease is spreading like common cold" Rohit explained

"Well , at least you"re okay" then he turned his gaze towards them "Well , you"ve brought couple of guests"

"Well , I"m Rajesh Singh Tomar but you can call me Raj" Rajesh explained "And also one thing , Your boy"s a lifesaver

"Glad he was help to someone" His Dad exclaimed

"Well , let me introduce , I"m Shivam k.u.mar Agarwal and you"ve probably met with my son , Dont you ?" Mr. Shivam said as he turned his gazed on the cut on Rajesh"s leg "Hmmmm.... Raj ?"

"Yes" Rajesh answered

"How did you get that cut on your leg ?" Mr. Shivam asked

"Well , Yeah it"s not doing so good" Rajesh protested "I fell off a cliff in a car"

"You can tell the rest when I get back with some medics" Saying this he trudged off into his house

Rajesh sat on the wooden bench in the porch

"Well , here it is , let"s fix you up" He then appeared on the porch with a first-aid-kit in his hand and then he examined the bruise "Well , its swollen to h.e.l.l"

"It"s not so bad" Rajesh lied

Of course it was hurting like h.e.l.l Rajesh thought bitterly

He put some peroxide in it and wrapped a bandage around it

"Well , you two can sleep in the barn for the night , there"s also another family sleeping in the barn , so don"t be cranky"

Saying this both of them scurried in the barn , there were sheets sprawled on the floor , they laid down there

"It stinks in here" Preeti complained

"Like Manure" Rajesh answered

"Manure ? , like when a horse p.o.o.ps ?" Preeti asked

"Just like that" Rajesh agreed

"I miss my Mom and Dad" Preeti said glumly

"I bet Preeti" Rajesh said as he drifted off in a sleep

He dreamt that he was in his family drugstore , his family were being arrested but Rajesh cannot do anything , he can"t even move

And that"s when he woke up , he realized he was holding his breath since, he let it out in a WHOOSH , he again drifted off in a dreamless sleep

"Hey wake up !" A voice cracked in somewhere

"Huh ?" Rajesh opened his eyes , blinked them twice and found a man with a thick beard wearing an orange baseball cap over a green shirt , and tight trousers

"Hey , how ya doin" ?" He asked through his beard

"All right , I guess" Rajesh replied

"The name"s Anil , Bro" He said shaking hands with Rajesh

"I"m Rajesh but you can call me Raj" he said "And this is Preeti" he waved a hand towards her standing beside him

"Nice to meet ya both" he said enthusiastically

Whoa , this man"s a powerhouse of energy Rajesh thought

"Hey , Dad !" a tiny voice spoke

Rajesh found a boy about Preeti"s age wearing a denim trouser and an orange Hawaiian shirt

"Hey Dad !" he repeated "C"mon they"ve got a giant bug-sized tractor in their field"

"In a minute , Bird" Anil answered

"Bird ?" Rajesh asked a bewildered look on his face

"Yeah , nothing bothers him" Anil replied "Meet my gorgeous wife , Kajal"

"Aww ! Stop it honey ! , we"re not on honeymoon" Kajal said

"Okay fine , whatever your wish , this is Raj and.....what"s the girl"s name ?" Anil asked

"Preeti" Rajesh answered

"Yeah , Preeti , I"m gonna go dilly-dal with my good-old piece of tin , while you ladies enjoy your time" Anil said as he opened the hood and started examining it

Rajesh got near Anil "Hey do you have a plan ?"

"Well , I"m gonna ride to Mumbai , there"s a dock in there in which we can find a boat and get the h.e.l.l outta this city ASAP"

"Well , sounds like a plan" Rajesh a.s.sured

"And what about you ?" Anil asked

"What about me ?" Rajesh asked

"You know , wife , girlfriends, kids anything ?"

Anil said with a grin

"No joke man , no wife , no kids" Rajesh said

"Then how did she got ya , in a Big Bazzar sale ?" Anil said

"Yeah about that , I"m not her dad , I"m just a man who scurried to her house , she was surviving on her own man , I mean Days !"

"Well , h.e.l.l yeah she"s a brave kid" Anil said

"No doubt" Rajesh agreed

He was about to speak when a loud scream echoed throughout the field

"Hey ! What was that ?" Anil asked a bewildered look on his face

Another scream

"Somethings wrong , some things definately wrong" Rajesh said
