The Zombie Apocalypse (Zack Merrick/All Time Low)

Chapter 8

~Nalah's POV

"We need to go save whoever that is!" Jack yelled.

"No, we don't! We don't know what's happened and if they can make it or not!" Alex shouted back. We were currently debating whether to investigate the screams and see if we come across any survivors.

"They may be survivors!" Rian yelled.

"You don't know if they are, for all you know, they could be dead right now!" Zack shouted. I sighed and started rubbing my temples with my index fingers, trying to think this through.

"Right, shut up!" I snap. Everyone goes quiet and turn to me.

"Who wants to go? Raise your hands if you do, keep your hands down if you don't." I say. Jack, Rian, Maggie and I raised our hands whilst Alex, Zack and Lucy kept their arms down.

"Those that voted yes will go, the rest of you's stay here in case we need to make a quick getaway." I instructed.

"No, you can't! What if you get killed?" Zack cried. I was a little shocked at him, he had never spoken this way before.

"Zack, I'll be fine. We'll be fine. We've been doing well so far and we will continue to survive." I said softly and hugged him. He held me close and it took some time to get free from him.

"We'll be back soon, stay in the VW hidden away. Don't bring attention to yourselves, if you need to get away, beep the horn to alert us. If you need to get away before then, go away then come back after an hour. We'll hide if necessary and wait for you to come back." I said. Alex and Zack didn't agree with what I said but they nodded.

"Right, grab your weapons and a spare then we'll go." I said. We all grabbed our original weapons and gathered melee weapons then started heading in the direction that we heard the screams from.

"Do you think whoever's there will be fine?" Rian asked as we started lightly jogging to get to our destination in time.

"I hope so." Maggie stated. We arrived to an adandoned one story house, surrounded by shrubs. We all ducked down and hid in the shrubs, examining the scene in front of us. Two girls and a guy were standing on the roof of the house, attempting to kill the walkers below. About fifteen were shuffling at the bottom of the house, grasping their arms at thin air as they tried to reach the people on the roof. Another ten were feasting on what looked like a human. The person on the ground was wailing as the walkers tore in to his body, ripping him apart.

"He was the one that probably yelled." Jack whispered as we watched a walker rip his stomach open and his intestines came out. I saw one of the girls gasp on the roof then vomit on to the walkers below.

"Jake, no!" She wailed, being held back by the other girl.

"Katy, no! He's gone, you need to accept that. It's too late." The other girl said, trying to calm her down.

"Right, we need to do something now." Maggie said.

"The walkers are crowded around the dead guy and the front of the house. We sneak round the back, distract some of them, kill them, finish off the ones that are eating the dead guy then the rest of them. I'll go with Rian, Maggie goes with Jack. Use melee weapons to keep the noise down. Only use guns when necessary. Alright?" I state. Everyone nods and we all put our fists together.

"Let's do this."

~5 minutes later

Rian and I had managed to sneak around the back of the house. Maggie had alerted the people on the roof, indicating that we were here. They shouted over to them, telling them that they had no weapons and needed help, knowing that Maggie couldn't reply so her position couldn't be given away. As we snuck round, Rian slowly looked around the corner.
