Ruined Cathedral
When the outbreak began, many people gathered here for salvation. Most of them died here too, taken by the plague. It's not a very safe place because of it. The doors are barred from the outside by someone who realized those inside were not themselves anymore.

 xxxCoopxxx Coop made his way through the monstrous horde, across the city to the cathedral, which wasn't as easy to get there as he imaged. His bat was stayed beside him, his hands gripping it, always ready to swing. Blood drops fall of the tip of the bat as coop lets out a loud howl to get the zombies attention. He notices a large group coming from either side of the cathedral, as they stagger forward, he pulls his arms back, preparing to swing the bat. Coop swings from left to right, cracking skull after skull, With each hit, fresh blood splashes onto him. He was far outnumbered, but didn't feel threatened at all, he just kept swinging. As his body became soaked in blood, their numbers gradually fell. before long it was just him, standing in the center of a gruesome field of bodies. He laughed maniacally before walking up to the cathedral doors. Coop stood just outside the cathedral, scratching his head, trying to wonder why it was barred from the outside rather than the inside. Perhaps the people here were loved ones that were bitten, locked inside so they wouldn't be killed. He thinks to himself as a slightly evil grin forms on his face. I will see them to the afterlife. he laughs to himself. He grabs the bottom of the 2x4 that had the door locked, and lifted it upward. then he moved away all of the random items that still kept it from opening. He takes a deep breath then opens the doors. "You opened the doors?" Asked a large, bald man, as coop walked into the cathedral. Coop looked at him for a moment, a bit of rage in his eyes. He looked almost as if he had intention of killing someone, which really wasn't in his nature, a zombie deserved to die, not people. The man rushed over to coop, and put an arm around him. "Not like the others are you?" He asks, licking his bottom lip before saying every word. Coop didn't respond to the man, he only kept walking, trying to get away from the man. The mans persistence took over and he blurted out, "You're one of us now kid, so you'd better start talking." His voice seemed to be a bit demanding, and full of hate. Coops eyes widened, and his heard pounded. he turned around, swinging his, bat not as if he was going to bash the mans the skull, but in a swiping motion, at the mans neck, tearing the flesh and causing the man to bleed a great amount. It was only a matter of seconds before the man stood dead at his feet. Coop looked around the cathedral at all of the people who were now terribly frightened. He laughs cynically and orders them to close the doors. "Take the body outside first." he says, before turning away from them and taking a seat.

Rune stepped in, saw Coop, and froze. She then relaxed, ran up to him and threw her arms around him. "Coop I'm so sorry for leaving you. I wasn't thinking straight. I owe you my life. Thank you for saving me from that zombie," her voice was choked with emotion. She hugged him tightly, and stepped back, pressing one of her prized Katana's in his hand. "here. I want you to have this. That bat is going to get you killed." her green eyes were suspiciously shiny, like she was holding back tears. Which, she probably was. Marines are tough, but they do have feelings. Her clothes and person were still blood spattered from the encounter with New Glory Hospital.

xxxCoopxxx Coop pushes the katana away with the back of his hand, staring coldly at her. He looked around the cathedral at all the people, he didn't know them, nor did he care for them. He didn't care for rune either, or at least that's what he kept telling himself. He looks at the katana for a moment before rejecting it. "I appreciate the gesture, but I will not need it." He brushes her hair behind her ear with his right hand, then clinches it tightly as it returns to his side. "Go back." He says, turning his back to her, and walking off into the priests quarters. The door slams behind him and he falls to the ground as tears stream down his face.

The sounds of a truck is heard down the street. Chaz was steering clear of body debris and live undead debris. However, one wasn't avoided. The truck ran clear into the zombie, a large fat man, with a bite mark on his arm, a bald head, and a large and fluffy beard. It wasn't thick, it was just...fluffy. Chaz quickly turned on his windshield wipers, but to no effect. The fat zombie was blocking the view. In a quick moment of panic, Chaz slammed on the breaks, sending the zombie flying to into the road. He ran over the zombie's head, causing it to cave in and crush the brain. Chaz looked over his shoulder to see his temporary victory. With a faint smile, he looked ahead, to see the turn he should have made fly past him. Within the next two seconds of that realization, he crashed his truck into a fire hydrant, causing the red road block to burst open with water. Chaz's truck stopped dead still. With a groan, he headbutted his steering wheel. It isn't safe here, he thought. Taking his father's naval sword, he got out the truck to scout out the nearby area. Seeing the Cathedral, he made a dash to go check it out. He walked up to the large doors. His eyes scanned the area. There were fresh dead everywhere. A Crawler, a zombie he deemed that preferred to crawl and gnaw at his feet instead of his arms, was approaching him. Piercing it's skull, he looked around. Holy Hell, he thought. There were a lot around. There must of been a Baiting recently. He heard mutters behind the door. His eyes widening, he slammed a fist on the door. Hey! Let me in! He screamed, which seemed to attract some unfriendly attention.

Rune felt her heart crack. She hadnt felt this ripped open since she killed her sister. She felt the tears slide down her face without pause. She stumbled to the wall and punched it, causing the weak wall to crack. She kept punching over and over until the brick finally broke with a dull boom. She then slid to the ground and just layed there with her katana's, unmoving. She couldn't move. Not any more. Her hand Trickled blood. "kill me. Kill me now and get it over with...I don't care anymore." the people there were frightened of the Marine. None stepped up. She said, only loud enough for the sound to reach Coop, "kill me, Coop. Put me out of this misery. I hate this. I can't do it anymore. Kill me now, or I go out and become one of them." she really wanted to live. But she couldn't find it in her heart to go on. someone finish me...please... was her only broken thought.

xxxCoopxxx Coop heard her cries, and his quickly vanished. He opens the door, and as he walking down the pews of the cathedral he glances over at rune apologetically. He notices a small woman with a sinister smile, appearing as if she was about the answer runes prayers and just walk up there and kill her. Coop swung his bat, striking her directly in the face. The womans nose broke, and blood splashed over coop. he left the bat in her face then turned back to address those who might attempt to kill rune. "If she is harmed when I get back, none of you will survive till morning." he kicks the womans body, freeing his bat from her face, and headed to the door. He screams and kicks the door open, he'd grown tired of hearing whatever it was beating on the door. Before checking to see if anyone was around he quickly closes the door behind him, barring it from the outside. He notices the man, who appeared to have been knocked down by the door. Offering him a hand, he says "The door is not to be opened until they are all dead. Is that understood?" he asks, swinging his bat a few times for practice.

Rune's eyes watched him dully. She didn't appear capable to move, or speak. She was useless in her current state. Hearing Coop kick the door open, she sat up slightly, and then jumped up. She glanced around, and her upper lip curled slightly. She then just sunk back down to the ground, and a tear trickled down her face. She still couldn't find the will to go on. She just sat there, and waited patiently for death to find her.

 Thais was running by the Cathedral when the cries of a man alerted her. Her eyes grew as he seemed uninjured. "Were you bitten?!" she said in a hurry, looking back at a horde that apparently liked the sound of his screaming. Without waiting for an answer, she motioned him onward, "C'mon!" There was no time to wait for people to maybe answer a door. She started down the street, turning slightly to see if he was coming. If he did not, she couldn't burden herself with the idea that he would probably die.

Chaz picks up his naval sword and gets up by himself, disreguarding the hand extended to him. Swinging his sword arm towards the oncoming Unfriendlies, he nodded. He looked at the man and said quietly, I need my gear...its in my truck. He dusted himself off, and stabbed a zombie coming towards him through the skull. The point of his sword was sharp and bloody stained. He kicked the zombie off of the sword and looked at Coop. With a cool, emotionless breath, he said, After you. He noticed a girl running back. She asked if he was bitten, and he shook his head. She told him to follow her, and he looked at the man with the bat, then back at her. He ran up to her and grabbed her arm, telling her to stop. My truck He said, pointing to his truck. There were supplies and gear in the back, as well as a few weapons.

xxxCoopxxx Coop noticed Thais and the man running away. Anger builds up inside him, and the throws his bat at them and screamed. All the zombies that were following them turned to coop. He realized screaming may have been a bad idea. He quickly turns around, unbarring the door and walking in this time barring it from the inside. He turns back toward the people inside the cathedral, and walks down the pews. He stops momentarily at the woman he'd killed earlier. He grabs her by the hair of her head and drags her up to rune, he lets go of her then looks rune straight in the eyes. "If anyone hurts you, they will join her." he says, walking back into the priests quarters. "Including myself." he adds.

Thais noticed that the man inside the cathedral was Ande. And Rune was there too. Her eyes widened as she followed his to the truck, "Do you need everything from inside?" she asked, referring to the truck. Her voice was quick and panicky. Her crossbow in her right arm, raised and took out a walker that had gotten close to the truck. Quickly, she put a boot to the side of his head and pulled the bolt out, and looked in the truck and around frantically, waiting to see what he needed from it before she began slinging bags of the man's belongings over her shoulders.

Chaz grabbed as much as he could, his weapons, the German novel, his Violin and Cello case. Turning to a Crawler, he lifted up his Cello case and slammed it down on its head, splattering it into pieces. He looked at the mysterious women as showed her that the cases of his instruments were reinforced. Sheathing his sword, he grabbed a Viola case and ran with her. He nodded his head, and said I'll come back for the rest later. Lets go. The instruments seem very important to Chaz, and he wasn't going to leave all of them.

Thais grabbed a bag from the bed of his truck, not knowing what she could do to help. Though she wasn't sure if they should make an attempt at going into the church or not, she let him lead the way. Her face scrunched behind his back at the instrument cases, shocked. She had been on her way to Hospital to gather supplies, but now, she wasn't sure where the man was going. Hopefully somewhere less crowded than this street of walkers. Where ever he had to go, she would help him get there, and then leave, if she could to continue her trip to collect supplies from New Glory. Just then she heard, presumably Ande, barring the door shut from the inside. Now who is the monster?As Thais runs past the place where the bat had landed, she recalled Ande throwing it, with a calm mind and could not keep the thought from entering angrily, What a feminine throw... She reached down and claimed the bat back. If he did not like her gifts, she would find someone who would. Thais had not missed a pace and she kept hot on the man's heels, "I can help with some of your gear," she offered but figured he would probably deny it. Not because he deemed her too fragile to carry his things, but he would probably assume she would take it and run with it... That was not her style. Had she been a Gypsy, it was quite likely, but as she was an admired member of Scar, she detested thievery.[edit]
