The Beginning of the End

Chapter Thirteen

Everyone was shocked and they were now hurriedly packing up the things inside the apartment. The stashed all the medical equipment into a black duffle bag and they grabbed their weapons and left for the door.  

Our small huddle of a group snuck through the shadows towards the front of the estate. Jakob was leading and I was the tail. Tate was in the middle with Zoey and Jack was carrying the duffle bag.  We stopped at an intersection of two roads. We all looked left than right. To the right were the lurking shadows covering the entrance of the estate, and to the left was the back entrance, the stack of the old abandoned cars and the flickering street lights about to die out.  Also there lay Molly’s half eaten body leaking bodily fluids and a few walkers still kneeling over her corpse taking all they could indulge in. We ran as quiet as we could into the shadows to the right; we were barely able to see seeming the lights had all blown out leaving this side of the estate in a wave of darkness.

*No One’s POV*

The group travelled deeper into the shadows nearing the entrance of the estate. They were unaware of the horde beckoning just outside the gates, walking in circles and bumping into the other lifeless bodies copying their movements. They kept a watchful eye out for any movements surrounding them. On the other hand they couldn’t peel their eyes of Molly’s destroyed body lying in the gravel motionless, getting father and father away.

*Jakob’s POV*

I was leading the group towards the entrance to Evolon Estate. I turned around and counted the bodies and made sure we hadn’t lost anyone. Yet. I turned back around and continued straight ahead. The wind was still howling and we couldn’t hear any other noises above that. We got to the large iron gates of the estate and stopped for a moment. We talked for a short minute. Andrea felt sick and she went over to an abandoned car and threw up. I looked away. She looked up and wiped her mouth and started heading back towards us. A rotted body stumbled out from behind the car and grabbed the collar of Andrea’s shirt. She screamed. All of a sudden like a ricochet a whole group of the dead came out of nowhere.

The walker on Andrea had now bitten into the crescent of her neck and it spurted out dark red blood. Once again I looked away. I turned around very fast and saw the dead coming from every shadow, every trash can and every car. There were too many to handle. I couldn’t keep everyone safe. “Run” I yelled. Jack picked up the duffle and we ran. We darted left and right as the zombies came from every possible place. Tate was now on my back and Andrea was swarmed in a smaller horde of the dead. We kept running, dodging the abandoned cars, the scorched bodies and the trash occupying the streets. I skidded to a stop. We ran right into the larger horde! I turned around. Everyone was running any way they could. I saw Eilish behind a group of walkers. Tate cried out but it didn’t do anything. Her small body disappeared under the stumbling group of walkers. I heard a piercing scream. A tear slipped down my face. I had lost the one important thing to me and I didn’t even get a chance to tell her my feelings. All I could do was run, run somewhere safe. Tate cried and beat at my back as we left his bigger sister out of sight and out of mind. He grew weary and just held on tight and cried that’s when I lost it.

*Eilish’s POV*

We were in trouble. We ran straight into a massive swarm of the dead. Tate was on Jakob’s back and jack had the duffle. I looked around searching for Jakob and Tate. I found them, we were separated by a line of the dead, their faces were all turned towards mine and they stared with hunger in their eyes. I stepped backwards and tripped. My arm scrapped against a broken hinge of an abandoned car next to me. I screamed. There was a massive gash down the front of my arm and I was losing blood at an accelerating rate. The scream ushered the walkers into action. They were all coming at me all at once. I stood up, dizzy from standing up so quick and the rising blood loss. I turned my head looking for Jakob. He wasn’t there, neither was Tate. Had he run off? Left me for dead? I thought we had something but I guess not. I ran. I ran down the abandoned street turning at every place I could. I grew tired and my vision was going out. I ran until I ended up at the city centre. There were more of them, more than I could count.

Right on the main intersection there lies an abandoned bus. The windows were blown out and it was on its side. I ran over to it dodging the outreached arms of the dead. I climbed up the side and stood safely on the top. The yellow side of the bus dinted under the weight of my body, but it didn’t dint enough to cause any trouble. The groups of the dead all formed together to make one and they swarmed around the bus. I pulled out my black semi-automatic hand gun out from the back of my belt and I checked the rounds. One bullet left. I reloaded the gun and flicked the safety off. I placed the mouth of the gun at the side of my temple. My hand was shaking as I looked at the dead with their hands reaching up at me and their mouths gaping open. There rotten lips peeling back and revealing black, bile teeth. I looked at the abandoned shops and the broken windows. The shattered glass shattered across the streets. I looked at everything that our world had turned into. I went to pull the trigger but everything went black.
