"At least it's not dark..." Blair said as they walked. She looked around, actually kind of enjoying the shade of the trees and the sunlight that peeked through at some points.

"If that... "thing" was human, there's probably something around here we can use to call for help," she suggested.
 
"Yeah, wouldn't THAT be ni-" Luke stopped short, as he saw a small cement bunker fade in through the trees. "No way..." he whispered. "Wow, talk about coincidence. Heh..."
 
"Lucky us," she said, turning to him and smiling. Looking around quickly, Blair grabbed his hand and began pulling him towards the bunker. "Hurry," she whispered to him.
 
"Um, yeah sure..." Luke replied, still a little shocked. They walked to the main door of the bunker, which was a big slab of steel.

"I'm gonna need your help opening the door, Blair."
 
"Alright!" Blair nodded. "What'll we do with it?"
 
"I wasn't thinking that far ahead, perhaps a temporary base of operations. So long as there aren't more of... THOSE things in here," Luke replied.
 
Blair smiled a little. "Sounds good, let's open the door," she said.
 
They reached forward and grabbed the edge of the door. Luke pulled hard with Blair and the door slowly opened for them. It took about 5 minutes, and it made a horrible screeching noise as it opened. Just as they got the door fully open, Luke heard a growl from inside. He readied himself for another of those THINGS and stood in front of Blair to shield her. The growling sounded closer the next time he heard it. He glanced at Blair to make sure she was OK, she seemed to be shaking, but otherwise fine. Just as the growling got loud and Luke was getting ready to get the gun, a dog jumped out from the darkness and landed on him.

"Oh look, a dog..." was all Luke could get out, before he got tackled to the ground by the Golden Lab.
 
Blair jumped and screamed a little as Luke was taken down. She put a hand on her chest to steady her breathing and her rapid heart-beat.

She knelt down next to Luke as the dog stood on top of him. The dog didn't seem angry or rabbid or anything, it actually seemed scared as it whimpered and nudged Luke's face.

"Something spooked him," she said, looking at him with a worried face. She patted the dog's head gently. "Luke, maybe we shouldn't go in there," Blair told him quietly.
 
"Ummm, this may sound weird, but i kinda wanna check it out. You know, try to 'fix' whatever is 'wrong' in there. I'm gonna go in there and check it out. You stay here with the dog, she'll protect you. Won't you, girl?" Luke directed the last the last part at the dog, who wagged her tail when he did. "I'll be back before dark at the LATEST. I promise."

Luke turned around and slowly walked into the darkness, bringing the lighter with him.





((OOC: SO sorry i wasn't here, my internet was crashed T.T))
 
"No, Luke!" Blair called after him. She sighed as he disappeared at inside and hugged the dog. Looking around, she could feel herself becoming nervous.
 
It was dark inside, that much was certain. Luke took hold of the lighter inside his pocket and pulled it out. He flicked it open, turning it on. Nothing jumped out at him and nothing was too gross inside so far. He took a deep breath and explored some more.
 
The dog began growling suddenly, pulling itself away from Blair and running inside. Blair called after it, looking around again, unsure of what to do. There could be something inside and the dog went to fight it, or there was something outside and she was running away.

"Luke?" Blair called, stepping closer to the doorway.
 
He found an office, dark and gloomy as it was. Only one door in and there were 2 vents, one in the floor by the desk and another in the far wall. The desk had a thin layer of dust and the computer- looked almost brand new. It was one of the more recent models. Why would a supposed "abandoned" bunker have an almost brand new computer inside it? Something was off here. Then he heard Blair's voice faintly in the background, calling his name.

"In here Blair!" he called out, slightly turning his head.
 
"Luke!" she called out again, "Is everything fine in there?" Blair crossed her arms and looked around, feeling nervous and jittery. He sounded alright, which meant that tne dog had to have been spooked by something outside, didn't it?
 
Luke took another look around before turning around to call after Blair again. But as he turned around, the dog ran into his legs, knocking him down again.

"Woah, girl. We gotta stop meeting like this," he joked. He looked around for Blair, but didn't see her. He turned to the dog. "Where's Blair-" he asked. He stopped short when he noticed the dog was shaking and whimpering. Only one thing clicked in Luke's head then.

"Oh SHIT-" he muttered before scrambling to his feet again. He began running full tilt back to the entrance of the bunker.

"BLAIR! GET INSIDE! NOW!" he yelled.
 
She was just starting to back up, walking backwards into the building, when something burst out from behind a tree. Blair froze upon seeing it. Him, to be exact. Another ravenous looking man, foaming at the mouth with stony grey eyes and chalky skin.

"L-..." she began, but her voice caught in her throat. For a moment, she and the "man" faced eachother. He lunged and Blair screamed again, ducking to the side just in time.
 
Luke ran out the front of the building to see the pasty-faced man lunge at Blair. Luke crouched for a second, then launched a flying kick at the man's head. It connected and the man went sprawling to the ground. Luke landed and took a fighting stance. The man got back up, his jaw hanging from his his face but showing no pain, even though it was definitely broken.

"Blair, get inside now, please," he muttered to her. As he did, the man took another lunge at her. Luke jumped forward and intercepted it, delivering another kick to the man's stomach, sending him flying again. As Blair ran inside, the man got back up and stared at him again. His eyes seemed dead, but there was glimmer left... was the man... NOT dead after all? No, the smell reminded him. He was rotting, he had a broken and hanging lower jaw, yet showed no pain. This man was for all intense and purpose, the resurrected dead. Luke ran forward to upper kick the man in the head again, but the man lunged forward and grabbed Luke around his torso, pinning one of Luke's arms in the process. He leaned down to bite Luke, but Luke threw a hand up and held the head back before it got past his ear.

"......kill.....meee....."

Luke jolted. Did he just hear correctly? Was... IT... talking?
 
Blair scrambled inside where the dog was watching. She nudged Blair's leg, as if trying to comfort her. But Blair was watching from just inside as Luke kicked the man. The man moved it's mouth as it tried to bite Luke, as if saying something, but... That was impossible. Blair looked around, wondering what she could do to help.
 
Luke pushed the man off and took a couple steps back.

It talked, he told himself. Unfortunately, talking or not, it was a danger.

"Whoever you are, whoever you were, I can help with what you ask," Luke told it. Luke began to draw his gun...
