Chapter 2

When Tucker collapses to the ground lifeless, everyone stands up screaming. Max falls to the floor and Amy is screaming in despair and climbs under the table and kneels beside Tucker, dead. Then another arrow fires through the window and jamming through a chair. Kelly is screaming hysterically with fright and I'm urging everyone to get down, but the screaming drowns out my request.

"Mum come away from the window," Donald screams leaping in front of his mother taking an arrow in the back, and falling down screaming in pain. Another arrow immediately flies through the window and smashes a vase. Kelly is screaming in terror and since no one else is taking cover, I have to take action.

"Everyone get down, get away from the windows, get down!" I yell. Everyone obeys and we all huddle together behind the dining table. Felix and Elizabeth are at the foyer peering round the door. Christian drags Donald over to the rest of us.
"We're going to die! We're going to die!" Kelly screams hysterically.
I grab her by the face and try to calm her. "Hey, hey, hey, hey, look at me, look at me, you're going to be fine okay just stay down!!"

We get our phones out and try to call the police, but.... "I can't get a signal," Max exclaims.
"Me neither."
"What's going on?!"
"Dad, dad," Felix calla from across the room. "They must be using a jammer."
"A what?"
"They're illegal but you can get them on the internet for like £30!"
"Felix you fuckin low life," Donald yells from across the room while lying in pain on his side as blood leaks from his back heavily.
"What are you calling me a low life for, I'm just trying to help the situation."
Unfortunately they're not.

"Okay, Christian, you need to carry Donald out of this room right now," I explain. Christian carries Donald to his feet and when I scream "Go, go, go," they go.
"What about us?" Amy asks whimpering.
Before I can answer, another arrow flies through the window and smashes the family photo I was looking at earlier.
"Ahhh oh my god! Oh my fucking god!" Kelly hollars in terror.

I look a round and see the table can be a shield, but since we all can't carry a table, the chairs are our best option.
"Kelly, grab a chair, and run as fast as you can, do not stop," I explain to her. She grabs a chair and charges to the foyer screaming. Then Amy, then Patricia and Max, and when my turn, an grab the long metal stick that you pook burning coals to make the fire burn brighter. I grab it because it's sharp enough to be a weapon. I grab a chair next and run towards the foyer with everyone else, but an arrow alarms me when it goes through the chair forcing me to drop it.

Now, I'm exposed, but I still in run.
"Get it out," Donald pleads, but if he takes it out, it's at risk of infection.
"No pulling, no pulling," I tell Kelly. "Just apply pressure around the wound."
She does so, but Donald screams in pain , so we need to deal with that. "Has anyone got any painkillers?" I ask.
"I have some," Patricia answers. She hands me her purse and I remove the painkillers and offer two to Donald. "Swallow, don't think," I tell him. And he does so.
"What should we do now?" Amy asks in tears.
"We need to hide somewhere," Felix answers. Me and Max are peering out of the window, but can't see anyone.

"Maybe we should run," Christian suggests.
"No, no one needs to leave, I think we should all just stay here and we'll be safe," I try to explain. I seem to be the only one keeping ahold of their sanity.
"Maybe Donald should run, you did come second in a 600m race," Christian foolishly suggests.
"He has a fucking arrow in his back!"
"Stop yelling at me Kelly!" he yells back. Then the argument breaks out and Amy, above what is said volunteers. She prepares herself, and Felix and Max prepare to open the door. She be gins to run a fast and the the door opens the when close to it, and then when she reaches the outdoors, she's thrown back with her throat petrifyingly bleeding.
