--Erica's POV--

"Go and get the others and I will try and hold them off as much as possible," I tell her. She goes to protest but looks back at the field knowing she has to, "GO," I yell as she gives me one last look. I grab the gun that stays up here from Harry's base and aim it at the walkers closest to our walls. I climb down from the tower and grab my knife out killing the ones trying to rip down our fences. It doesn't take the group long before I hear shoes hitting the pavement behind me. A bullet whips past my head and I turn to see one of the twins holding a gun. They yell a sorry and I see Blake start walking toward them until Luke yells to hold the wall. I turn and see a group hoarding by one section of the gate making it bend. Ashton open fires at the fence as we grab excess wood and try propping it up.

"Fall back," Luke yells as the gate barely holds on, "You two. Go warn the others to lock their houses down and get away from windows and doors," He says pointing to the twins. The more I look back the more walkers come piling into our community. I aim my gun as a walker heading right for me but it jams just as it smacks my hands. I rip my knife out of my holster connecting it with its skull. I toss my gun to the side and see everyone running low on ammo. We barely had any to begin with. An arrow whizzes past us and lodges itself into the head of one of them as Reece stands in the tower.

"There's too many of them," Reece yells sounding panicked. Ashton is halfway up the tower with his gun when one of them lunges forward and grabs ahold of him. Kyleigh runs over and makes sure he's safe as he climbs up the rest of the way, "The two of us will hold as many as we can off. You guys have to get somewhere safe," Ashton yells over the commotion. Jensen brings his blade down one last time before he is retreating with the rest of us. As we run forward we try and find a place that won't get taken down by the size of this hoard. I turn to Kyleigh and more walkers filter in through the gaps in the unfinished fencing. Luke covers her back as we get separated by the two herds splitting off.

"Where are Erica and Blake?" Luke asks as he looks around trying to find us. I can only hear his voice as we are pushed further away by the massive bodies. Blake tells me to come on and I follow him in-between houses. He takes me to his house and slams the door shut telling me to push the couch over. I listen to what he says as he tries to hold it shut. He tells me to shut the backdoor and I run back seeing walkers filling the backyard already. My heart rate quickens as the glass starts shattering from the impact of their relentless bodies trying to come after us.

"Blake," I whisper back into the Livingroom. His eyes widen as one of the window panes shatters behind us making their moans echo through the empty rooms. He pushes me up the stairs and shuts the door to his bedroom, slamming it behind us. We don't even say anything before we are pushing the bed and dresser in front of the door.

"Did you see anyone else escape?" I ask not taking my eyes off the door. He stays silent and my heart drops at the thought of anything happening. Hopefully, the twins were able to alert the other families to stay quiet. Loud bangs slam against the door as they try and push their way in, "We know that Ashton and Reece are safe.....Kyleigh and Luke have to be okay," I ramble, moving closer to Blake.

"If Luke.....if he dies.....oh my god," I whisper feeling my stomach become uneasy, "I'm such an idiot. He only cares about me and I acted like such a drama queen," I say as my breathing becomes erratic, "And then I'm the reason she and Luke fought. What if that's the last thing they remember of each other is fighting 'cause I'm a fucking idiot?" I ask feeling myself spiral at the thought of any more deaths in our family. I look at Blake and he doesn't say anything making everything so much worse, "I have to get out of here. I have to find them," I tell him while pacing around the room. I close my eyes and try to block out the banging on the door. My eyes shoot open when I feel Blake's lip on mine as he cups my cheeks to stop me from moving. He pulls away slowly telling me to stop before I look him in the eyes. I've never seen him so distraught as his hands move away from my face, We both stand there looking at each other until the dresser in front of the door starts moving forward. I run to hold it in place but the hoard is too strong. I look around the room and see the window that leads to the roof, "What if we climb down?" I ask. He sees where I'm looking and tells me to go first. He clenches his jaw as he struggles to hold the dresser himself, as I run to open the window. I push it open and see a small fire in the middle of the street as Ashton and Reece run down it. I climb out and signal them down and they immediately run over with two guns from our display.
