It's Never Too Late

Chapter 10: Surrounded

💀Paul's POV💀
"Everybody grab a weapon!" I say. Molly and James grab a small pistol for each of them. Heather sits in the room while being accompanied by Lisa. Joshua and I both grab shotguns and pistols. "James load two clips for you and Molly, Leeanne stay with Lisa and Heather! Where is Doc?!" I exclaim. "Forget about him for right now" James says. "We need to get down there and kill these things." Just as i say that they come bursting through the doors to the upstairs hall, "Crap!" Molly screams.

We take rolling chairs and roll them down and stack the hall way length to length but leave enough room for us to shoot. "Fire!" I scream! Suddenly as we start shooting we hear a really loud bang from behind. I turn around and see Doc with a sniper! I ignore the fact that he has the sniper and start shooting. We take out about twenty, "No something's not right," Lisa says, "there were definitely more than that." "We should search these hallways, look for some more if we can." I said. "Leeanne stay here with Lisa and Heather, Josh you take Doc down the right side of the school, I'll go down the left with James and Molly, we can stay here and make this place a home but we need to rid these halls of the dead." I look back to see that Josh and Doc are already on their way down the right side of the school. "Let's go dad!" James screams at me. He grabs Molly's hands and sprints down the hall with me.

💀Heather's POV💀
I still can't believe it.....my baby girl is dead.....why did I trust that Doctor Steven guy in the first place? All he did was get Abby killed. "Ma'am are you okay?" The little girl looks up at me and says. "What's wrong?" I look down at her trying to suck I my tears, "H-....How old are you?" I asked her. "I'm eight years old, I'm supposed to turn nine next month I think." She says to me. That's so cute. "My daughter was 7, just a year younger than you. What....what's your name sweetie?"

"My name is Leeanne and this is Mrs. Revan." She says pointing to the other woman.

"You see that dead body over there?" I say pointing out the door into the hallway. "That was my baby girl." I couldn't hold it in any longer and I continued to cry. Than I feel a hand on my shoulder, I look to see Leeanne's hand there. "It's okay Ms. Heather, my mommy died about three weeks ago. I think about her every day. You're going to think about your daughter Ali-" "Abby" I cut her off. "Sorry, you're going to remember Abby every day for a while, but eventually we can't cry about it any more." She looks up at me and says "We have to be strong." I hug her and notice Lisa look over at me and smile. Lisa closes the door and sits next to us.

"So what were you before all of this madness went down?" She asks me, "I was a pediatrician, makes sense seeing how much I love kids. I was in my office working my regular shift about a month back when we heard about there being people murdering other people on the streets, I lived in the bad part of our town so it didn't worry me too much until I realized where it was going on. It happened near my daughters school. I got there as soon as I could to make sure she was okay.

When I got there they were loading all the kids onto a bus to go lord knows where. I grabbed Abby, got in our car, and drove off. We drove off home and locked the doors for I figured something really odd was going on. I turned on the tv to the most horrific thing ever. Every single station was the exact same thing and that was ravenous people are eating the living flesh off of innocent people, than the camera pointed to the military, they were being killed as well. And that's when the power went out.

That's when I left. We packed food, water, and clothes and left. On the road I met Steven, or Doc, whatever you want to call him. He had this big sniper with him and was being attacked, I didn't even pick him up honestly, he just opened my door when we were stopped at a broken car.

When we got to know him he suggested we head here. And than...-" I couldn't continue. Talking about Abby was killing me. "Thank you for telling us this." Lisa said to me. We hear running down the hall. The man from before, Paul I believe his name was, opens the door and exclaims, "We have to go now!" He screams.

💀Molly's POV💀
James grabbed my hand as we ran down the hall to get to the remaining walkers. "Slow down!" Paul whispers. He walks in front of us as we approach a corner. He slowly peeks the corner and looks back with two fingers. We look around the corner to see two walkers standing in the hallway. Paul goes up and stabs one of them in the head. James kicks down the other ones leg and stabs it. James is so cool, I'm glad to have him as my boyfriend. He looks back at me and signals me to come to him. We walk up to the main stairwell and see dozens of walkers. "We don't have the ammunition to take out all of those unless every single bullet is a headshot." I say. Paul nods at me and looks around. We see my dad and the doctor on the other side of the stairwell. One walker happens to notice dad and walks toward him. But on its way it trips and falls down the stairs. This attracts every single walker took at us and they start climbing up the stairs.

"RUN!"

Paul screams. My dad runs over to me along with Doc and we run back to the classroom. I run back as fast as I can to see Paul up there getting everybody ready. I look at him and say "Paul I ready told you we can't take them all out!" He looks back at me. "I know we can't Molly, that's why we are leaving." I see Heather and Lisa ripping the curtains off the windows and tying them together. I peek out to see the walkers on their way. "We have to go now!" Doc says. I get some desks and tables and start lining them up along the hallway to slow them down. We run to the other end of the hallway and open the window and start running the curtain down as a rope. Mom and I go first, than Leeanne, than Heather, than Doc. "James!" I scream. "Shhh keep your voice down they might here is out back." Mom tells me.

Dad comes out and I hear a lot of shots fired.......Than finally jumps out James and his dad. When they get up I run and give James and Dad a hug. "Okay everyone listen up." Paul speaks up. Our cars are in the front but we still have our guns, ammo, food, and water. We will have to travel on foot for now. We will have to find somewhere else. I know it's not going to be easy. But we will eventually find a place that we can call home."
