After Dayna and I had a chat about what to do, I walk around the grounds to try and find Norman, I walked into the back garden first, I couldn't see him anywhere, I started walked around to the front of the house, I saw a ladder up to an outpost-like building, so I climbed up it to try and see better but as i look, i see something put the corner of my eye, there is a horde of zombies walking, stumbling towards the back gate, a horde that size, woukd rip the back gate down, i jumped off the outpost, I walked hurryingly to find Norman, I found him by the front fence, sitting on,the floor, where zombies were trying to get in, i jogged up to him,

"What do you want"? He asjed me plainly

"Well i just thought... That you should know that...  Theres a zombie horde heading towards the back gate" i explained forcefully Norman looked at me with shock and horror,

"Are you sure"? Norman asked me, i raised my eyebrows as if to say i thought you trusted me.

Norman and I walked through the house and grabbed everyone, then we all stood by the back gate,

"How did you see them"? Trevor asked me

"I went up that ladder to find Norman and i saw it" I answered

Trevor jogged up to the ladder and quickly climbed up, had a look and climbed back down

"Trevor, what did you see"? Chloe asked him

"We need to leave here within the next hour" Trevor said then it went silent and you could hear all the zombies moaning from the distance, they all start rushing to fill both cars with food, supplies and whatever else they can find, Chloe walked outside in the back garden, the zombies moans were getting loader and you could hear twigs snapping in the woods, then a zombie walked past the gate and then walked back to the gate and put their arms through the gaps in the gate, Chloe ran back inside

"We need to leave now, they're at the fence now"! Chloe informed us all, we all rushed to the cars and got inside the cars, Norman coukd see the back gate from where we were sitting, i could see his face shallowing,

"Sorry Norman" i said

"Its okay, its just if my family try to find me, they will not be able to" he said then as he looks up, the back gate starts to buckle, a zombie squeezes past the gate, Norman opens up the front gate byvpressing a button on the roof of his car, he reaches into the midfle of his car and pulls out a walkie talkie

"Right, lets go" he said over the walkie, both cars start driving out the gate and down the road,

"So whats the plan, where are we going to go now"? Teris voice cackled through the walkie talkie, Norman picks up the walkie,

"Were going to Houston" Norman informs them

"Why"? Trevor asks

"Because ive heard that the government are building spaceships for people to live on during the last of the apocalypse" Norman explained

"But why didnt you tell us"? Teri asked Norman

"Because i didn't know if i could trust the rumour, i didn't want to get your hopes too high, i am sorry" Norman answered

"Its okay, i get it" Trevor replied "heads up theres quite a few zombies in front, roll up your windows" Trevor continued

"Way ahead of ya" I said back down the walkie, we started driving a bit slower so we didnt smash into too many zombies because it coukd destroy the engine and i think we need the engine, but as Norman was following Trevor in their cars, Damien looked like he was planning something, Norman started to grab the walkie, but then Damien randomly jumped out of a car going 30 mph, he rolled across the ground, Norman put his foot on the brakes and jumped out of the car, Dayna screamed

"Oh my fucking god, youre crazy"!

"Listen babe, i need to help Norman, stay here if you want" Trevor stopped his car as well, but as i got out of the car i could see Damien getting eaten by zombies, Norman ran back to the car, we both got in

"Have you got him"? Teri asked

"No, i couldnt get to him, zombies got to him first, hes with his brother, lets just go" Norman said mellowly, we started to drive off again, to Houston, Texas.

"First stop: Birmingham, Alabama" i shouted!
