The Thought of Losing You

chapter 12

Ellis pov

While walking back we see a local gun store... Flares! There has to be flares in there!

"The gun store it has to have flares!" I say in excitement

We try the doors but find it locked. I get my bat ready to try for the window. A hand on my shoulder stops me

Louis shakes his head "that stores alarm will go off as soon as you take one good swing."

I nod but soon realize there are no other options. Nick realizes it too.

"Don't worry, we'll back him up" nick says and gives ellis a nod, along with Louis, Francis, and Rochelle

I nod and take a big swing!

CRASH!

The window breaks but as Louis said the alarm does go off, we hear a horde scream in the distance in seconds.

"Shit" I mutter under my breathe. I jump in and look for the flares. It's hard to not get distracted by all the kickers guns, but I have to find those flares!

"CMON overalls! They're coming fast!" I hear Nick yell

I finally find them and take the flare gun that goes with it, I jump back outside, "Let's go yall!" I yell.

We starting running and shooting to the docks. As we're running we hear the maniacal laugh of a jockey. It Pounces.

Louis is taken back to the horde. We run and hit it off, we see Louis but he is in no shape to move on. Nick and I don't know what to do!

"Oh god" Louis spits out blood, blood gushing from his scratched face. His legs both bruised bad from the infected. "Go!" We hear Rochelle yell as she covers us. Francis runs over and picks up louis.

"Oh shit! I'm not gonna make it!"

"Aw cmon Louis I thought your the positive one?" Francis counters. And heaves Louis over his shoulder and turns back towards the docks.

"Let's go" nick yells and pulls me along. I run along side with Nick, I notice something in the corner of my eye. I turn just in time to be grabbed and slammed to the ground, Nick goes flying elsewhere.

"It's got me!!" I yell, Francis and Rochelle turn. Rochelle comes back with her machete and takes a swift swing to decapitate the charger.

"Sweetie?!"

"Get nick" I mutter while taking some pills. She hesitates but soon nods and runs for him. Francis finally sees the docks and runs with all his might towards it, he finally gets to a military barricade right in front of the docks and sets Louis down and hands him his sidearm.

"Don't move Louis I'll be right back" Francis yells while running back to the group.

Francis runs over to me and helps me up, he points to the docks and we run. We see Nick and Rochelle to the left of us. Then we hear it. A tank.

We run to Louis and turn just in time to see the tank rounding the corner, pissed as ever.

"Hoooo man!" I yell

"Molotov out " Francis yells, he sets the tank on fire killing it swiftly, he smiles and raises his eyebrows at me to almost brag but soon we see two other tanks round the corner again. His smile is wiped from his face and he spits on the ground and starts reloading his shotgun getting ready for the massacre.

Nick comes to me and hands me a automatic rifle, fully loaded. "You ready to kill some shit"

I take a deep breath and close my eyes. I see her, not her necessarily. Just her eyes looking at me. I see pain in her eyes, I can't lose her, she can't lose me. I have to make it back. I open my eyes and nod to Nick, Louis struggles but stands and aims his pistol ready for everything, Rochelle wipes the blood on her machete off and gives me a smile.

"We've been through worse right?" She says, she laughs but you can hear the concern in her voice.

"No" Francis says. "Bill isn't hear to save our ass this time"

Although I don't know bill I do know he means a lot to zoey and her friends, I look to Francis and hand him some more ammo. To show I understand but to also just give him more ammo.

Louis puts his hand on Francis shoulder and gives a nod.

We hear the hordes scream, we hear the tanks rumbling, we hear the hunters screeches, the smokers coughs, i raise my hand and look to the sky. A prayer. A flare hoping for the chance to make back, home.

We then hear, all out war...
