Running for them

Go on

"Be careful Helen" I said waiting for Helen and Gregory to get on the tree I was on. It was quite far from the house but right on top of the car which was perfect for the plan.

"Yeah I got it" Helen said not really caring if the infected were hearing her since the point is to attract them then kill them.
Once Helen and Gregory got to my tree we started shooting the arrows at them, and one by one the died. Even though a few of them were still lingering around it was enough for the others to get in the car.

"Ok get on the car" I said to them ready to give Mia the heads up to start running towards the car with the others. Helen and Gregory got on top of the car covering for me while I moved to another tree dangerously close to the infected. They still didn't notice us which was good but I still had to go closer to the forest because when the car starts the engine would be making a lot of noise. I moved to the tree that was far enough from the car but close enough to the house so I can throw my grenade, and I got ready for the impact that was coming my way. I put the whistle in my mouth, inhaled and blew as hard as I could. It was like a pack of wolves running to their pray. I was their one objective. All the infected came running towards me while Mia opened the door and got everyone out running as fast as they could, but then of course...something had to go wrong.

"Oh my god!! Someone HELP ME!!" Gretchen screamed loudly making a lot of the infected run their way. Shit shit shit. I began screaming random things to get the attention back from them, and it worked. Mostly.

"Gregory no!!" I heard Gretchen scream again. That one caught my attention. When I looked to my right, leaning over to see Gregory on the floor. Being eaten. Oh god. I looked back up and Caleb, Helen and Gretchen were on top of the car now. They had to go now or else they'll get trapped.

"MIA GO!" I screamed at her taking the attention of the infected that were close to the car and they came running towards me. Hungry.

"What do you mean? You'll get stuck! You won't have a way out." She mouthed to me from the inside of the car thinking my idea was completely ridiculous. I had to.

"Trust me" I mouthed to her going back to killing the infected. There were more than before. Shit, think Macy think. Then I remembered the whistle I used earlier. My dad gave it to me saying that these would catch their attention perfectly; and it worked. Mostly.

"The grenade" I told my self as I took it in my hand ready to throw it. I looked back to see the car had gotten far enough from the house and it was waiting for me a few feet away.

"Ok, kill some more. Throw the grenade. Make a run for it." I repeated preparing my self. I was killing off some more of the infected when I heard Gretchen scream. Again.

I was so concentrated that when I heard it I dropped my remaining arrows. Shit, I don't have a weapon I can use now. I looked back again hearing the wheels of the car moving and it broke my heart when I saw it.

Gretchen was holding on to Caleb while Helen tried to get the infected off of Gretchen's leg, but when the infected fell Helen fell with it.

"Oh no, Helen" I whispered to my self when Helen fell off the car and went under the back wheel. Crushing her to death. The car stopped making Caleb and Gretchen hold the metal on the car tighter while Mia screamed out the window.

"DO IT NOW" and so I did. I threw the grenade towards the house and went from tree to tree as careful as I could. I jumped down ignoring the pain from my bullet wound and ran towards the car.

"Behind you!" Caleb suddenly said making me turn around and get knocked to the floor close to the car. Seriously? I was so close.

I grabbed the knife form my leg while holding the infected's neck in my hand and when I turned around to kill it, it was Greg. I closed my eyes and stabbed on the side of its head.

That wasn't Greg anymore, it was one of them.

I told myself that while I got on the back side of the moving car hoping Gretchen didn't see that. I looked at Gretchen on top of the car considering I was hanging from the back and climbed up. She was crying intensely in Caleb's arms while himself cried too. I watched them not knowing what to do and went to Mia's side of the car and knocked on her window for her to bring it down.

"Helen and Greg are dead" Lucy gasped and started crying while Mia sucked in a breath.

"You did what you could, we're safe now." She said looking briefly at me trying to keep her eyes on the road.

Yes. I do realize I'm moving around outside of a moving vehicle.

I climbed to the roof of the car and held on tightly while I looked at the house now in flames. I did what I had to do, and that's what I said while the house got smaller and smaller by the second.
