Chapter 11 : Route 56

Bang Bang Bang

They all fall down shooting back at us

Bang Bang

I watch as their men fall to the ground

Bang

One more shot to end it all

Silence

3 Hours Before

We make our way back towards Hemwall we rush back to tell people about the broadcast on the radio "Open the gates!"

One of the guards opens the gates to Hemwall and we rush inside I jump out of the truck and run towards Poppy

"Girls, what's wrong?"

"There was a radio broadcast in the truck about a motel on route 56". She looks at me like she knows something about it "It's called Ranch Motel I used to stay there with my mum, it's a safe place for these guys called The Ranchers they've stayed there since the start of the apocalypse"I tell her about what the radio said and she thinks that we should go there she walks into Manor House which is the meeting house. "Recently The Ranchers have been in contact with us not directly, but we heard the messages. They're trying to make people go to the Ranch Motel so that they can kill them and take their stuff, but we're going to fight back, Who's with me!!" The people of Hemwall go crazy and start to leave and grab weapons. I rush out of the house with Abbie and I help her unload 3 of the supply crates into Hemwall I tell her I need to get the supplies to Whitefield before we attack The Ranchers." Lola can I please come to Whitefield with you I want to live there with you?" Abbie says seriously.

"Ok, but get your stuff together quick" Within 10 Minutes were speeding down the roads heading towards Whitefield we pull up outside the gate and Piper opens the gate we drive in and unload the supplies."Hey, Lola are you ok who's this?"

"I've not got time to explain get everybody together were attacking a base" Piper runs and tells everyone. I see Alex run up to me "Lola are you ok, I've missed you?" He kisses me and I tell him everything is ok. I tell Abbie to get a gun and get ready for a fight "Lola have you seen Piper?"Junior says in a hurry, I tell him that she's getting everyone ready for a fight.

1 Hour Before The Fight

Everybody grabs their weapons and everybody gets in their cars, some people stay back to defend Whitefield but Me, Piper, Alex, Junior and Abbie get in one car and meet up with the people of Hemwall and Poppy come up to me.

"So Lola the plan is you go up to them in a car-"

"No, I'm not leaving her," Alex says interrupting Poppy

"Well, you and Alex can go in a car and pull up outside and see how they react then if they draw any weapons me and the rest of our men will open fire ok"

"Ok, let's go" Me and Alex hop into a car and speed ahead of everyone else.

20 Minutes Before Fight

We approach route 56 and we see the motel up the road we turn into the motel and park outside the gate "Hello, welcome to the motel were happy to have you here what are your names?"

"I'm Lola and this is Alex we need somewhere to stay"

"Well you have come to the right place"

"We want to know your plans"

"Well, let me see, " The man draws his gun and so does all his other men I look around for the rest of our people, but they're no where in sight I look up at the motel's sniper tower and see a man with a sniper in there. I look at their sniper and see a red dot on his head. Pkow. A Gun shoots, but the sniper doesn't drop they must have missed him I duck behind our car Bang "Ahhh" I look over at Alex to see blood dripping from his arm. I draw my gun and start to shoot Bang Bang Bang Bang I look behind me and a bunch of our men rushes into the motel with guns blazing and people dropping Poppy comes up behind me "Once these are dead, we won't have anything to worry about" Bang Bang their men drop to the ground bleeding from the heads to their chests. The sniper is still in the tower popping of our men until I see Junior climb up the tower and push the man off Junior grabs the sniper and starts shooting the men at the Motel I sneak into the gates and hide behind a barrel shooting men I see Alex shooting back at the people but he's still bleeding from his arm the wound isn't that bad but it's still dangerous a man with an axe runs up to Abbie but she throws him to the ground and shoots him some of the men that were killed turn into biters and start attacking The Ranchers there are only about 20 men left I shoot some more and theirs only six men left.

Bang Bang Bang

They fall down shooting at us 3 left

Bang Bang

I watch as their men fall to the ground 1 left

Bang

One more shot to end it all

Silence

I watch as the leader runs away I chase after him and tackle him to the ground putting my gun to his head

"I guess things didn't turn out the way they were supposed to"

Bang

Blood sprays up in the air as his head is blown off that's a way to end a fight. I walk up to Alex and see that his arm has stopped bleeding. I whisper down his ear "We've Won" he smiles and everybody gets in their cars and drives back to where they came from.

Death Count

The Ranchers - All of them I hope

Whitefield-4

Hemwall-7

Again we didn't lose many I guess we're getting stronger...

What will happen in the next chapter?

Will Abbie stay at Whitefield?

Will there be any other attacks?

Find out in Chapter 12: The Wound

I've finally come to a conclusion that all chapter will be around 1000 words because the chapters before were too short so if there's ever a special it will be around 2000 words.
