YAAAAAY 200 READS! LETS CELEBRATE WITH AN EARLY UPDATE WOOOOO! :D

3 hours later...

Niall's POV:

  I had only been asleep for 3 hours when Paul came bursting into the room. "Wake up now!" he whispered shaking Liam awake. I immediately jumped to my feet. "What's wrong Paul? I thought we were going in a couple of hours?" I questioned. Harry, Zayn, Louis, and Eleanor came into our rooms too. I look at everyone and notice that all of their eyes are puffy and red from crying. I look at my reflection in the mirror and see the same. "Change of plans lads and Eleanor," Paul says, "We gotta leave now. Grab your bags quick!" We all scrambled to pack up our things and wait for Paul who comes out holding a big long black bag.

  "Paul, what's going on? Why are we leaving early?" I asked. "Shh!" He whispered, "Keep your voices down!" "But what is the matter?" Liam whispered. "More people have gotten infected. The front of the hotel is crowded with walkers! It's a good thing we parked the tour bus in the back of the hotel. Thank God we rented out the hotel so only a few hotel staff walkers are actually inside." he whispered back. "But why do we have to whisper?" Harry questions, "Walkers are attracted by scents and sounds. Once they get the whiff of your fresh living blood, all they will think is food. They're pretty slow, but dangerous if they are in a pack." Eleanor replies. We all look at her incredulously. "How did you know that?" Zayn asks. "Umm, Louis family..looking at me like a piece of chicken..remember?" "Oh," Louis says looking down. "Yeah.." she says quietly. "Awkward.." I say, breaking the silence that just formed. "Anyways!" Paul says, "While you all were packing, I locked most of the walkers in another floor so there will only be a few in the lobby. We can probably avoid them and sneak out back. Just stay close." he says. We quietly pick up our bags and follow him towards the stairs. Imagine if we were in an elevator with a walker? Plus I'm claustrophobic so that would not make a great combination. #notfun. Woah wait, did I just say "hashtag" in my head? OH MY GOD, I'M TURNING INTO ELEANOR. Does that mean Louis is going to get attracted to me? But I'm straight! Okay you know what? Never mind. New subject time; I'm hungry ughh :(  

  When we finally reached the lobby, Paul stopped us before we could open the door to get out of the staircase. He held up a finger to silence us. We watch as he opens his bag and pulls out a baseball bat. Hmm that's what he probably uses to keep crazy fangirls from jumping us. He opens the door a crack and peers around. Satisfied with what he sees, he opens the door fully and lets us out. We look and see a crowd of what used to be normal humans, but were now ghastly, blood covered zombies pounding at the glass door at the front trying to get inside. I hear a rustling noise behind me and see a girl with torn clothes and a bloody face get closer and closer to us. "Uh Paul?!" I say and point at the girl. Paul turns around and raises his bat and starts to hit the girl in her head with it. Eleanor shrieks and hides her face in Louis chest. Us lads all have horrified looks on our faces as we watch Paul go all Rambo on the walker. The walker finally stops moving. "The brain," Paul finally says, "To stop them, you gotta go for the brain. Always remember that lads." We all nod and follow him towards the back entrance. He opens the door a little and curses.

  "Okay, there aren't any walkers surrounding the door bus since they are pretty distracted by the walkers at the glass door, but there a few spread out that are getting closer and if those glass door walkers hear us, then we are screwed so stay in front of me and go quietly to the bus alright? Its already unlocked so just go inside and whatever you do, don't get bit or scratched." We nod and start walking quietly towards the bus with Paul bringing up the rear. As we get closer and closer towards the bus, I see a few walkers sniff the air and face towards us. They growl and start getting closer at a faster pace. "Fuck!" Paul whispers, "Run the bus now go!" We don't need to be told twice.We rush towards the bus, Paul holds open the door and we all jump in, but as Paul is about to jump in, a walker comes out of nowhere and grabs hold of his arm and sinks his rotten teeth into it. Paul lets out a scream of agony. "NO!" we yell. More walkers come and get hold of Paul.

  He throws his baseball bat and bag towards us. "GO without me! There's a map inside! Follow the map! GO BOYS GO!" he closes the door and tries to fight off the walkers with his bare hands and moves away from the bus so the walkers wouldn't come near us. We're all in shock for a second or two until a walker starts pounding against the side of the bus. Louis busts out of his funk first and gets into the drivers seat and drives us away from the walker infested hotel parking lot. I look out the window to see a hoarde of walkers surrounding what was left of Paul but was now just body parts and blood, "Paul," I croak out, my voice hoarse. I look towards my band mates and Eleanor. Everyone is crying. I look at Louis who is driving and had quiet tears streaming down his face. "Well," I say, my voice still hoarse making everyone look at me, "Welcome to the new world I guess?" 

NO PAUL NOOOOOOOOOO! :( RIP Paul. I have to admit, this death was pretty heart breaking. So both Simon AND Paul are gone now. How are the boys and Eleanor going to survive without their mentors? Perhaps they'll find some help from other survivors? Hopefully they find that refugee center soon!
