          Dad quietly told us to go to our hidden areas and get ready for anything.  As we climbed into our respective areas, we made sure we had plenty of ammunition and weapons, so nothing over heated. I  was a little bit scared and a whole lot worried.  Next thing I heard was my dad saying, " We are not coming out!"

          They fired at the gate. We aimed above them and shot branches onto them. They started firing at trees. We then started firing at them.  3 went down. Their leader started firing off commands. We hit 4 more They hit Liam in his right leg.

         We hit 5 more of their guys. Leaving 3.  Their leader called for a retreat.  Will they come back with more people? Dad says that they will. We need more people.  We need 50 sharp shooters. Dad said 10 of us needs to go scouting for people who want to join us.

          ***
      Days later we found 300 families who wanted to join we had to build new homes for them.they all came and lost people to the army. They use them as live bait. Meagan a 6 year old was used to lure out zombies.  No one paid attention until the child was a screaming for help after she was bitten.

   Her mom was holding g a baby in her arms. Poor woman was just a shell. WTF is wrong with people?  I'm so angry. My dad and everyone who can is building homes and tree houses.  Now we have to train each and everyone of the new people to shoot a gun and a bow.

          ***
 
    It's been a  month since the army men came and tried to take us. Liam is healing nicely, it pays to  have doctors here. We saw some guys in army uniforms staking us out. We are hidden from view. Thankfully the trees keep us hidden. They've only seen about 12 of us. So we have the element of surprise.

       We have about 80 marksmen. We make sure to practice everyday. Amber who's 26 can shoot better than  half of us. She's got her eye on Peter and Georgia wants to beat her. Amber asked Peter to be her man! He told her in no uncertain words that he's married to the most wonderful woman in the world and she couldn't hold a flame to her.

          It's been two months now and I've seen trucks setting up bases dad said it's going to be a big fight. I'm really worried!  There are around 40 of them.  We have 80 that can fight, I  know that they will make their move soon. They're surrounding our property,  it's around 100 acres and completely fenced in.  Yes we added more property. So glad we did.

          Plenty of room for homes and treehouses.  We have 500 homes and treehouses built and working on more. Hoping to have at least 600 people join. And with so many pregnant women and our newest member! Hominy, Jake and Mary's new daughter. In all the excitement I almost forgot that she was born last week.

     She was a month over due.  It was pretty scary, but at least dad kept monitoring Mary. Well back to the fight.  Around 8 a.m. they started telling us that we needed to surrender and they had us surrounded. Dad said. "Never!" The Army fired a few rounds trying to get someone.  We returned fire. Then we heard shooting coming from everywhere.

       The army fired several shots at the hiding spots of some of us. I felt the air by my head. Yes I was almost hit. Brogan,  one of our newest guys, went down. His buddy checked he was dead. We hit 10 of their guys. Some were dead. Then I heard Jake cry out he was hit. Paul was aiming at a guy and as he fired he was hit in the face. His bullet hit it's target and the guy went down and was dead.

        48 more died, 30 of their team went down.  We lost 50 guys and women. They lost 30. They had 10 left and we had 30. Damn went from over 300 to 258. We will have services. Then we heard the moans and growls of the dead. We watched as they jumped the 10 men outside our fence. We were firing at the dead. Getting low on ammo. We started using our bows. I saw all ten get ripped apart.

         Our dead were Brogan,  Paul, Bill, Ethan, Alexander,  Johnathan, Jess, Rosie, Ambrosia,  Morgan, Jimmy, Patricia,  Hogan, Ryder, Lamar, Lennox, Zach, Dennis,  Allen,  Wendy,  Philip,  Flip, JJ, Reggie, Angelica,  Jay, Cali, Damion, Khairi, Trish, Radeon, Tim, Lee, Debby, Larry, Carrie,  Ernest, Raymond, Harold, Hagrid,  Mason,  Shelly, Jeffy, Micah, Roy, Richard, Drake, Blake, and Annette.

      We lost so many to the army. Well like I was saying we were firing arrow after arrow into the undead. The jumpers were in "oh God" I exclaimed! Dad killed one that went after him. Brian  hit the other one as it tore into Greg. Great he was bit in the neck. So 51 dead Jake was critical we rushed him to surgery. Mary was hysterical. Dad gave her something to calm her. He was on a ventilator and had a feeding tube.

                  ***

        Three days later we were all fixing any damage to the fence  when we saw the humvees.  They all stopped and looked at the military outposts that looked all ripped up from the dead. Bullets were all spent so nothing was salvageable.  The guy who looked important,  not sure what his rank is. Walked over to our gate and asked to speak to the person in charge.

          Dad went to the gate and said he was elected leader. The man who I found out was colonel Hugh Jeffers. Said he was apologizing for the rogues. He was impressed with us and found that we had green houses and other things that would be valuable now and would like to workout a trade agreement that would benefit everyone.
  
         We could supply vegetables and fruit,  plus medical help. They would supply  meat and ammo. Well it's been a long time incoming, but it looks like our luck is changing.
