OoC: I thought so ^.^
Tabitha followed Tyler whilst he ran around the corner and up the staircase. Tabitha turned faceing the open door "Jack, hurry up". Tabitha followed Tyler up the stairs. " Not a good time for intoductions, names Tabitha. " Tabitha smiled at Tyler and turned around for Jack. Jack was halfway up the stairs when there was a loud crash like thunder. The behemoth had made it in. " RUN! " Tabitha shouted. They all knew they had to aim for the eye. But Tabitha thought this could be too obvious. " Guys notice that vent in its arm? Maybe we could blow it off, when it opens we throw a grenade in! Got any? " Tabitha looked around in question. They looked at her blankly. " I guess not" Tabitha sighed. Back to plan A, the eye. The behemoth threw off the door and came storming into the room. Jack and Tyler aimed for the eye, whilst Tabitha had a plan. Whilst the behmoth was deflecting, who knows he might have an eye behind or something. The behemoth turned for jack and stormed up towards him. Tabitha slid onto the floor using the blood as lubrication. As tabitha thought there was a vent in the back. When it opened she saw a huge orange ball atached to some veins . " This is it! " Tabitha shouted. Doing so The behemoth turned around and grasped Tabitha by the leg. " The Vent! Aim for the Vent!"

"Guys notice that vent in its arm? Maybe we could blow it off, when it opens we throw a grenade in! Got any?"
He didn't answer.
"I guess not," Tabitha sighs. Unfortunately, she guessed right.
The creature makes it up the stairway and smashed through the door before a better plan can be formulated, and it turns on him. Jack fires at the eye. He realizes that he lacks the skill to fire the hunting rifle fast enough, and lets it clatter to the ground.
He draws his revolver while Tabitha goes bolting past, attracting the attention of the beast. It spins around and grabs her by the leg.
She screams: "The Vent! Aim for the Vent!"
There's an odd organ visible now that the thing's back is turned. Jack aims and fires, six times. The subsequent roar confirms at least one connection, but he can't immediately tell what kind of damage it has suffered.

Tyler ran up the stairs, Tabitha's voice ringing in his ears, as well as the boom of a magum, probably from the man. He kept running, hoping to find something to use against that thing. He wasn't about to waste all his bullets on that thing.
He kicked open the door to what appeared to be a car accesory center. 'Think Ty think' he thought to himself, looking around the room, desperatly searching for something to use. His eyes fell on a bottle of jack daniels, and then over to a red gas container.
With a burst of realization Tyler rushed over the the bottle, dumping out its contents as he moved over to the container and poured it the bottle. His nose caught a wiff of something awful, and he turned. The owner of the shot had seen better days. Farmer ripped off part of the dead man's plaid shirt and doused it in gas before shoving it inside the bottle.
Farmer bolted back down the stairs, fishing his lighter from a deep pocket of his jeans. "How's this for a grenade?" he asked as he saw the creature. Tyler let years of baseball come into play as he lighted the molotav cocktail and whipped it at the vent that had already been blown open by a high calibur round. He saw gas splash on the inside of the vent and then ignite. The thing let out a roar of pain and stumbled backwards, dropping Tabitha in it's pain. Tyler whistled at the sight, and then grimaced at the smell in the air.
"Comeon, inside while it's hurting!" he yelled, beckoning to them as he held open the door to the automotive store.

The creature squeezed Tabitha in its pain. Tabitha struggled and managed to loosen its grip. Tabitha reached for her Pistol. Nothing. It wasn't in her holster. She looked around the room swiftly. The others were out of sight and tabitha managed to get out the clutch of the creatures hands. Then out of the corner of her eye she saw her gun. The creature slowly approached her. Tabitha rolled pack and grabbed her gun. She pulled the trigger at the eye hoping to stagger it a bit. " s*** ! " Tabitha exclaimed . Then Tabitha remembered she hate one magazine left. She grabbed into her pocked and quickly reloaded her gun. She shot the middle of the eye. The creature fell against the desk. Tabihta ran for the door. Flinging it open she say Tyler and Jack.
Tabitha ran towards them. " Run before its too late ! " Tabitha shouted. They ignored her and stared at something behind Tabitha. Tabihta turned around. The creature had regenerated. Now stood before them was a 12 foot tall blood drenched thing. With what seemed to me two bulky armed , three huge eyes and one LONG tail with spikes at the end. " Aw. s*** " Tabihta looked up at the things eyes. ITs tail swooped and Tabitha's leg got caught in the process. Tabitha was flung down the nearby escalator and she slowly descended on her back down it. Tabitha perched herself against the nearby wall. She couldn't get up. Her leg was bleeding rapidly. She wearily searched her bag looking for her Medical pack, she pulled out a long strip of bandage and wrapped it around her ankle. She needed something to numb the pain. She reached around her pack and found nothing. She looked up desparetly . Infront of her was a alchohol store. Tabitha watched Tyler and Jack run. They'd keed the thing busy for a while whilst Tabitha looked for something to numb her leg. She dragged herself towards the doors of the shop and opened them.
" Aha " Tabitha said picking up a half empty bottle of whisky. She screwed off the lid and poured it all over her battle-wound. It stung for a moment and as guessed the pain stopped. Tabitha looked at the flask she picked up. It had a logo embossed on it. It read. " B.r.a.v.o team ". " Pfft , where are they when ya need 'em? " Tabitha thought. She dragged herself outside the shop and propped herself against a nearby wall. She waited.

Jack entered the store and looked around. It seemed empty. He reloaded his revolver as he looked towards the door they had entered through. Tabitha hadn't followed. In his haste to take advantage of the time bought by the stranger tossing the molotov cocktail, Jack hadn't paid heed to where she went.
"Guy, I'm Jack. I didn't see where she went, but either she moving in a different direction, or she's dead. There's probably a back exit here for unloading their stock."
Jack pauses
"I'm not running out there to confront that thing. If she's run to another part of the store, maybe the best thing is to escape and hope she finds another way out for herself. We're really not in a position to launch a rescue."
Jack was trying to convince himself more than Tyler that not going back for Tabitha is in fact the right thing to do. He feels terribly guilty for proposing the abandonment of someone who has saved his life, but can't muster the courage to challenge the thing that had been chasing them.

[Sam enters the Shopright Super Center(and also the Raccoon city for the first time)]
As Sam struggles to open one of the fire exit doors located in the back of the store. He tries his best to open the door quietly but the door ends up making a loud bang, making Sam wince as if it had hurt him physically, because for all he knew it might end up being the reason he gets hurt.
As he walks cautiously into the store he hears the roar of a creature he has not ever faced. A shiver shoots down his spine at the speed of a bullet. He thinks about turning back but the roar of his stomach makes him think twice. He can't remember the last time he ate so he continues deeper into the store. As he emerges from the storage area in the back he sees that a lot of the food is still there but the roar of the creature scares him back into the storage area.
He gathers all of his courage and moves out into the store. He starts to grab as much food as he can stuffing it into his backpack, peanut butter, candies, granola, nuts, trail mix, and canned fruit. He looks up to see the blood leading up to the employee area. As he looked at that he heard a clatter of cans and other items falling to the ground.
He jumped four feet out of his skin before ducking behind a shelf looking around to see what it was. As he looked around he saw the most obscene creature he had seen in his life. It seemed to be, at parts, made of metal. Sam sat and watched as it looked in the other direction, thinking of what he should do next. He reached for his father's rifle and took aim. The bullets were made for taking down large deer hopefully they could take out one ugly creature.
He laid down on the floor ignoring the rotten food, blood and flesh that littered it, and took aim.
[Take over for the shot if you wish for the creature to be dead, or if you wish to be my savior, be my guest]

Tyler shook his head. "Nice to meet you, but we didn't save her before just so she can get killed now." He had maintained his morals through the apocolypse, and now he liked to think of himself as a bit of a hero, saving the people he came across. It was his way to cope. And he wasn't going to give up on that now.
After that, Tyler heard the crack of rifle fire and turned to Jack. "Did Tabitha pick up the rifle?" he asked, jogging over to the stair well where Jack had discared the rifle. He climbed down the stairs, almost tripping on the rifle. "s***!" he said as he stumbled and caught himself on the railing. It had been lying across a stair. He grabbed it up. Maybe Jack didn't want to use it, but Tyler sure as hell did. Farmer made his way back to Jack.
Farmer held the rifle up for Jack to see. "Thats not her." He walked past him into the mall itself, leaning over the railing to try and see what had happened. Across from him in what looked to be some type of food store, he saw the thing reeling back before trying to dip back inside the store. Tyler took aim, carefully aiming down the sight before holding his breath, slowly releasing it before pulling the trigger. The round hit the thing in its back. Unable to resist going after what had last caused it pain, the thing whipped around, its giant eye meeting Tyler's gaze. "Remember me?" he muttered before the creature took off towards the escalator.
Tyler turned to Jack "I'll go this way, try and see if that was Tabitha down there when it comes after me!" Farmer turned and ran, grasping the rifle tight as he booked around the curving top floor of the mall.

The fear the creature caused made Sam shake as it looked in his direction.
"CRACK!"
The bullet misses its initial target because of the shaking, hitting the creature in the chest. The creature started walking towards him as another rifle rings out. The creature turns to the stairs to where the rifle fire came from. Sam looks past the creature to see a boy, a few years younger than himself holding another rifle.
"Remember me?" muttered the boy as the creature ran off. The boy ran back up the stairs and disappeared from Sam's sight. Sam watched as the creature ran up an escalator and out of sight.
Sam stood up, wiped the crud off of his shirt and jeans, and slung the rifle back over his shoulder. He reached for his pistol and made his way toward the stairs.
As he comes around to the bottom of the stairs he aims the pistol up, slows his breathing down, and calls out, "Hello?"

Letting Tyler be the bait wasn't exactly noble, but hey. Jack wants to live and he's pushing his luck pretty far just by not getting out while the getting is good.
Tyler charges out one way and the beast follows. Jack bolts in the opposite direction.
"Tabby!" Jack shouts
He doesn't see her, but is momentarily startled to see who likely had been firing the shots a moment ago. He's a young man, armed with a rifle of some kind.
"Hey! Have you seen a girl running around here?"
Without waiting for an answer, Jack calls out again: "Tabitha!"
"Listen," he says to the stranger "I'm Jack. You're more than welcome to come along with me, and the other two if we can find them again. We're trying to gather everyone and get out of here."
A moments pause.
"I really suggest you come with us, or just get out while the getting's good. I don't know what that thing is, but it's refusing to die."

Tabihta arose from her distant sleep. She looked up to see Jack and another man. " Hello? " Tabitha said confused. " Tabby! " Jack shouted with joy. Tabitha pointed behind Jack. It was Tyler, he was running. " Can't run.." Tabitha said in distrought. She reached into her pocked and pulled out her pistol. She pulled out the magazine " 15 shots left " Tabitha said sinceraly, " You guys run, I've got an idea.." Tabitha remembered. Last year when Tabitha was on a resource hunt she found three bullets engraved with BRAVO team on the side. She picked them up and kept them since. They were made of metal, but incased inside was an anti-virus. She could only use one at this point, to be safe. She knew that if one of the crew get infected she'll have to use the anti-Virus. Tabitha pulled out the bullet " Anti-Virus, It will turn the 'thing' back." Jack smiled and the others ran. The creature before her stood still. It just stared at her. She loaded the Anti-Virus. The aimed at the central eye. She shot. The central eye began to swell and became blood shot. The creature twisted and wriggled as it got smaller, into a human shape. A man. A man in a tuxedo. But he had returned to his begining state. He had a massive gash on his chest. Tabitha put in her normal magazine. " I'm sorry but there isn't any option." Tabitha had a tear in her eye as she shot the man. She reached into her bag and layed a flower. She had a fresh bunch from earlier. She layed a white flower ontop of the man. " Rest in Peace.." Tabitha said. " This has all happened too fast. " . " Oh and Jack, I've sprained me knee " Tabitha looked at the dead body. It was him, the man who assaulted her 4 years ago.. ( See history for more info) "Well then we better get going." Tabitha said in her enthusiastic manner. " Is there a nearby hospital? Some cruches would be nice! Thats where we should go next! " Tabitha shouted. Monolouge ( In tabitha's thoughts) I always tried to put on a happy face but inside, I was never happy... OOC: POSTING ORDER: Taylor: Do the last post here of us leaving.(Head to a hopital place) Me: I'll post in our new location. Brutus: You post after me. Dark: You post after Brutus. Any objections? Didn't think so

Tyler had stopped running when he noticed that the thing hadn't followed him. He cursed and looked back over the railing, seeing three people together. He broke into a qucik but leisurely pace, making his way back down the escalator to where the others were waiting. He also saw no sign of the giant thing that had been stalking them through the mall. Farmer's gaze lowered to the corpse on the floor, puzzled. 'I didn't think you could get them back to what they had been, or that there was an anti-virus.'
Tyler shrugged and pointed towards the door. "Pretty sure the hospital is this way, but the hospitals are always crawling with zombies," he started, holding the rifle across crossed arms "I don't think that would be our best. Can't we just make crutches?" asked Farmer, a pensive look on his face. He suddenly realized they had a new guy with them and he nodded at him "I'm Tyler by the way"

" Well if thats the case" Tabitha said sadly. Tabitha tried to get up by perching herself up against the wall. " My leg should be better in a few days I can hold out till then. " Tabitha said to reasure everyone. " Hmm, where to? " Tabitha said. They'd pretty much raided the whole shopping area. The others looked at her blankly. " Let me guess, you dunno? Haha! " Tabitha said mockingly . " Well I do know for a fact there is a fallout shelter nearby, its deserted now but its heavily guarded and might be a safe base for a while. I remember when my old partner was with me during the outbreak its where we stayed..." Tabitha looks down blankly for a few minutes. The others looked at her confused. " He died, a flying B.O.W Stabbed him in the neck.. But either way I remember when we got there we found weapons and medicine! If I can remember rightly there was a guards area where they held defensive equipment too, shoulder pads combat clothes, its most likely gone but there is a chance of things being left there." As tabitha gave out this speech the others seemed to agree. " I've got a car parked outside, come on theres no time to waste. " Tabitha walked to the doors of her car leaning against Jack for assistance for walking. " Jack you come in the front with me, you two in the back. " The group stepped into Tabitha's pink convertable and sat back. " Its a ten minute drive from here.."
[The group are now at Fallout Shelter]

One could only nibble at a bag of granola for so long before the taste made them sick, and Rebecca was finding this concept to be particularly true as of the current moment. Honey-nut and dried cranberries was a flavor combination she never wanted to have to stomach again. Cautiously, she made her way through a few makeshift barricades that were very poorly manufactured, picking at a bit of dried blood on her forehead as she walked.
"Maybe there's some canned food in here..." She whispered to herself to break the dreadful silence hanging in the air, fiddling with a piece of her hair nervously. She needed to keep her hands moving, it helped her to stay calm. Not that she was at risk of freaking out, in fact, she was feeling oddly level-headed about the whole situation.
Looking around, there were several corpses strewn about, still as a graveyard. All of them seemed very much forever dead to her, which was reassuring, so she didn't keep her weapon drawn. Instead she left it tucked into her hip-scarf. She walked up to one of them, it was rotting terribly so she tried not to breath in. As curious as she was, this one was too awful to examine. She watched it for a moment more. Poor thing... at least it was a head shot, the death was quick. She bows her head respectfully and steps over the body, continuing. She turned her focus on finding the canned goods. They had to be here somewhere...
