It's Never Too Late

Chapter 9: Possibilities

💀James's POV💀
Night passes by quick. We slept in our cars last night and put blankets over the windshields incase there were any passing roamers. I woke up in the middle of the night to hear a faint noise outside. It sounded like a scream. I look out the crack of the window to see if there was anyone there, but there were only a few walkers. I decided I would fall back to sleep and let it pass. Maybe it was just my imagination...
Morning comes and everyone is awake. My dad gets on the car and says, " Okay everyone listen up." He says rather loudly, "Josh and I are going to head inside and clear out as many walkers as we see. James I want you to have your gun out in case y'all come across one of them dirtbags. If you need us to come out just shoot twice in a rapid succession."

"Okay dad." I say. Dad and Mr. Revan walk in the school and disappear. I sit on top of dads car and look around. Than suddenly I hear tapping. It wasn't very loud but it was close. I look around and hear the tapping get louder. I can see Molly looking around too. "Molly!" I whisper. Do you hear that too?" "You mean the tapping? Yeah I hear it. Is that you?" She asks. "No I don't know where it's coming from." We look around and I look up at the windows of the school. "What the..." I see a small girl for a quick second and than she's gone. "Lisa! Molly!" I scream. Lisa comes running over. "What happened?!" She says. Molly is right behind her. "There was a girl in the window!" "What for real?!" Molly said. "Yes! We need to go tell our dads now!" I ran inside the doors with my gun. I hear Molly running after me, I assume Leeanne is back there with Lisa. "Dad! Josh!" I scream. I see dad and josh running down the hall.

"Son what happened?! Is Leeanne okay?!" He asks me while hugging me. "They're fine but there's a girl in here! I saw her through the window for a brief moment!" "Do u know where she is son?" he asks. I scan my surroundings. She was upstairs in one of the classrooms I think. "Okay let's go." Dad says. We stealthily run down the hall up to the stairs. I hear a faint chatter. It's sounds like people are talking. "Over here!" I whisper to dad. We go up the stairs and the second we turn the corner there are walkers banging on the door of one of the classrooms. I look at dad and say "She has to be in there, but how do we get her out? There's only three of us and like ten of them." We sit there for a second.

"I got an idea but it's a stretch. So I say we go into another classroom and grab two or three of those rolling chairs. Once we get those we come back here and wait for them to walk towards us, than we roll the chairs at a few of them and hopefully tumble over a few maybe even half of them. We kill the few that are standing and then take out the rest." And that's exactly what we did. We ran down the hall to one of the classrooms. Only a few walkers in our way. One of which I killed. We ran in the classroom and got four chairs. We came back and pulled off the plan. We rolled the chairs with full force and stabbed them all. We knocked on the door and asked "Hello? Is anyone in there? We killed the walkers." A man from the inside yells. "Well are you folks friendly?" I can hear the man beginning to take something off the door.

"Yes we are" Josh says. The man inside opens the door. He's an older looking man but looks versatile enough to beat me in a race. "My name is Steven, but you can call me Doc." He says. "Wait so are you a Doctor?" I ask. "I used to be little guy, up until about a year ago. I retired." Than it occurred to me. The girl!

"Hey do you have a little girl in there with you?" I ask.

"We did."

He opens the door to expose a woman and her daughter, her undead daughter. The little girl had a straight jacket on her and a chain at her ankles. "Oh God..." Dad says. "She couldn't put her down and I have a soft side with the kids....I just....I couldn't do it." Doc said. Dad walks over to the lady. "Excuse me ma'am?" Dad says subtly, "Was this your daughter?" She looks at dad and starts to slowly pull out her gun. I run over and kick it out of her hand, it fires.

The gun shot the little girls foot. The girl falls and breaks free from the jacket. She starts crawling towards the mom. Dad fell on the ground and hit his head so I ran over to the girl, flipped her over, and put my blade through her skull. Dad starts to look around "James! Jam-" he starts to mumble. "Dad it's alright I'm okay." Joshua grabs the lady. "Why did you pull your gun on us you crazy psycho?!" Joshua says with one hand on her and the other hand with a gun pointed at her temple. "Yes...please just kill me. Don't let me live anymore...not without my baby girl..." The lady starts crying, a lot. I walk over to her, "What's your name ma'am?" She looks up at me still crying.

"Hea.....Heather" she says.

"Well Heather I'm sorry about what happened to your daughter, i lost my mom about two weeks ago." Than all of a sudden I hear screaming, but not just screaming, they were screaming for me and dad and Joshua. Dad wakes up to hear his name he gets up quick and looks down the hall. I look down to see Leeanne, Molly, and Lisa running down the hall. "What happened?!" Dad screams. Joshua comes out the door now too with Doc. "Walkers, maybe fifty of them maybe more I couldn't tell." Lisa says. I look down to see she has all of our guns, food and water. "We have to hide in here." Molly says. "No! We have more than enough ammunition to take out all of those walkers." Dad says. "Everybody grab a weapon." Everyone grabs a weapon and gets the ammo in there. "Alright, let's go." Dad says.
