Life in the apocalypse (On hold)

chapter 13

It's now dark outside, and we're all sat around the campfire enjoying a fresh fish fry up dinner. Dale and Morales begin talking about Dales watch and I begin thinking about my parents. They aren't back yet. I hope they come back, they can't just leave their children on their own during an appocalypse. Maybe they went out scavenging, or to have some alone time. I mean, Jackson's a child. A young child. Yes Joseph, Ryan and I can look out for ourselves, but we're older. We aren't as afraid as Jackson is. I couldn't ever imagine Lori or Rick doing the same thing to Carl. If I'm honest I'm kind of jealous of Carl. He has two parents who love him and care for him. Yet me and my brothers are stuck with our lame excuses of parents. I come back from my thoughts and I look down at Jackson, who is sat on my lap. He's listening to Dale's story, enjoying it without a care in the world. 

'You are so weird' I hear Amy say and we all laugh. She then gets up,

'Where are you going?' Andrea asks quickly,

'I have to pee. Jeez, you try and be discreate around here.' We all laugh as Amy walks back to the RV. I hear rustling from in the bushes and I look around quickly. Must be the wind, I think to myself. At least I hope its just the wind. We're all talking around the fire when we get cut off but Amy screaming. We look back and see a walker biting on her arm. The walker pulls back and Amy falls to the ground. The walker then comes up behind her and take a bite out of her neck causing blood to go everywhere, dripping down her. Amy screams out in pain as the walker pulls back, tearing her skin away from her body. Jim kills the walker with one whack from his baseball bat. We all get up in a panic and Shane pushes Lori, Carl and Jackson behind him while shouting to everyone to get to the RV. Walkers start coming out of the bushes, there's a lot of them and we don't have a lot of guns. Dammit Rick. I pull out my knife and begin stabbing the walkers close to us, while Shane shoots the rest of them. I hear the kids screaming and crying in fear as they look around and see walkers devouring the people in our group. We all begin killing the walkers and Carol holds onto Sophia protecting her from the walkers surrounding us. I turn and0 see a walker creep up behind them and I run over and stab it in its head before it gets them. Carol turns round to me with panic and fear in her eyes,

'Go to the RV!' I shout to them. I hear the screams of other people getting eaten,

'Get to the Rv go!' Morales shouts to us and as he protects his own family. The kids are screaming and I hear Jackson shout out for me,

'LIZZY!' I see him surrounded by six walkers. My adrenaline kicks in and I start running towards them. I pull out my gun and begin to shoot at the walkers. I hear more gun shots and see walkers fall down one by one. I run up and grab onto Jackson. I turn around and see Rick, Glenn, T-dog and Daryl come out of the bushes. So they're the ones who were shooting at the walkers. Thank god they're here now. 

'DAD' Carl runs up to Rick and Rick grabs onto him and Lori, thankful that both of them are unharmed. All the walkers are dead, as well as some people from the group. The ground is covered in bodies of the newly dead and some rotting old corpses. The damage has been done. Jackson's crying and holding onto me, the same with the other children, they're all holding onto their parents. Rick looks at me and nods and I return it. He saved Jackson. I'm just glad he's safe. 

'You're not bit are you? They didnt get you?' I say to him and look him over for bites. He shakes his head. He's still shaking and crying so I pick him up and hug him tightly. I look around at the rest of us that are left and I can't help but wonder where our stupid brothers are. Please say they just ran away somewhere.

We look over to Andrea, who's holding onto Amy, who is now covered in blood. I turn Jackson away so he doesnt have to look. Andreas sister, our friend, Amy. She's now gone. I hear Andrea begin to cry and I know Amy's gone now. Andrea begins to scream out Amy's name as she's crying and I hear Carl cry and look over to see Rick pull Carl close.

'I remember my dream now' Jim says, I look over to him, 'why I dug the holes'

We all look around at all the dead bodies. Some walkers. Some people who have just been viciously attacked and killed. Seeing the scene with Andrea and Amy makes me emotional and I begin to cry. I jump as I feel arms wrap around me and look to see Shane. He pulls me into him and I begin sobbing into his chest as Jackson does the same with me.

The morning~

I walk out from my tent, feeling exhausted. I didn't sleep last night. I couldn't. I couldn't stop thinking about how distraught Andrea must be feeling. To watch your sister basically get munched on and killed must be hard. I look over and see she's still kneeling next to Amy. My heart breaks for her. I hope we find Joseph and Ryan. We found Caleb and Jonny last night, but they hadn't seen my brothers, but luckily neither of them got bit.  So where are my brothers?
