        Where is the screaming coming from? So tired yet wanting to help if I can. Dad was searching too. We located the screamer. It was a young girl about 5. She was trying to climb our fence. We helped her over and then checked for bites. She was fine except for a scratch on her leg. We figured it came from the fence.

         When we finally calmed her down, she told us her story. Her mom was mauled by her dad. Not zombie mauled, but crazy mauled! He got drunk and killed her mom. He saw her as a zombie. Then he chased Molly( the little girl) and was devoured by zombies.  Molly Jean got away. We gave her a bath and tucked her into a bed, we then shut the door.

         Poor little mite fell asleep. Hopefully she'll be okay.  Next we decided to talk to the bus people. Dad walked up and the driver introduced them all. I'm Henry,  my wife is Cathy, our twins are Amy and Allen, Tim and Will are brothers. Linda and Maggy are best friends, Amber and Lynx are a married couple.  Wow ten new survivors. The twins are 6.

             "Dad, we need building Material and  we need so much more." I exclaimed. Cathy said." Oh yeah 2 of us are pregnant. " so 5 babies are coming,  oh boy! We all went to bed because none of us got any sleep. Hopefully  nothing goes wrong!

          8 hours later we all were making plans for food, water, and lots of other stuff. So now we had a community Thirty-six people in all.  We need 18 0r more cabins and treehouses. We needed to keep everyone safe. Molly was crying in her room, when mom checked on her. She said that she understood us not wanting her. Um what! Of course we wanted her.

          Tim asked to go on the run. We needed 16 men and women who could come with. We had a lot to get. Finally we decided that Peter would have Tim and Will with him. Jake would have Henry  and Lynx with him. I  would have Liam and Patrick.  Harry would have Linda and Maggy. Everyone else was staying.  We all went to our trucks with the trailers and made dure everything was ready. We would be gone for at least a week.

             As we got on the road we stayed together and in touch with CB's  I was in front and Peter was in the back. We were going to a relatively big city. Montpelier, we were by Stowe. Not sure what we were up against,  but ready for anything.  We drove for about an hour uneventful, when we saw ahead of us a road block.  We all stopped about half a mile away. Damn!

          Now what we didn't leave our vehicles. We discussed everything on our CB's. We didn't trust anything about this.so we decided to go another route.we drove at least 30 minutes before we heard vehicles coming from behind us. We hurried to a property that looked like we could hide our vehicles. We waited for 10 minutes and then we saw them! We were in the trees armed and ready.

           Linda was seated in the tree beside mine. The drivers of the other vehicles were army from the look of them.  I was worried about why they followed us. Linda was going to get down when I shook my head no. She understood and stayed put. The men walked up to the house and shot the lock out. They searched inside and found nothing.  The  dead showed up shortly after the gun was fired. Idiots!

         As they came out of the house they were swarmed. They didn't have a chance. I saw the last one go down being ripped apart. Then the dead started shambling away.  We waited an hour before coming down and checking out everything.  We went inside the house and found that these guys killed everyone who was inside. We searched every room and found a baby and a bunch of stuff for her.

          Why did they kill everyone else? We then decided to check their vehicles.  We got a lot of weapons. Plenty of m.r.e.s  and water. Good haul here. We then found her car seat and strapped her in. As we got back on the road heading to the city. We saw a farmhouse in the distance and decided to make it safe for the night. So even the army went bad, nothing feels safe anymore.

           We took turns with watch. And left about 6 am. We got to Montpelier and started looking for lumber yards and  brick layers. We figured it would be a great way to start.we found enough lumber and bricks for making a bunch of homes. All our trailers were full and we each hooked up 3 more. Going to be slow moving but with everything hopefully intact. We hit a hospital and several pharmacies. We got so much equipment for dad.

           Next we hit a few baby shops and grabbed everything that was in them.  3 closed  trailers carried everything from them. We hit bedding and kitchen  stores too. Oh and a bunch of clothing stores, 3 food warehouses and several garden shops. We were extremely pleased with our haul. Everything was going well.  Um,  knock on wood. We made it back to the farmhouse and we  hid our vehicles and trailers in all the barns.

          We all took turns with watch when  Peter, woke me hurriedly saying people are coming.  I  was up and ready when they got here. There were 8 people outside talking to Peter when I got outside. We asked what they wanted and found out that they escaped the army barracks, they were being kept prisoners as they were civilians and not army. We asked them if they had weapons and they showed us what they had.

         Sara was 14, Micheal was 16, Darren was 18 Fred was 10, Penny was 8, Andy was 9, Neveah was 14, and Monique was 20. Just kids basically  so we took them with us.  We all ate a hurried breakfast and  got back on the road. We were almost back at the cabins, when  from out of nowhere army trucks chased us. We barely made it inside the fence when they  stopped and started telling us that we were going to die. Our gates had just closed behind the last trailer.

         Dad said that we were on private property and they had no jurisdiction here. They said they would kill us all if we didn't open up right now. We decided to go to our spots and fight. They had guns but nothing else. We were ready. We hoped everything was army proof. What happened in the next few hours was utter chaos. We fought the army. We fought for our freedom and our lives. The new kids and every single pregnant woman and child were up in the treehouses. Everyone else fought for freedom.
