Life After Death

The gun clicked, it was empty. "Oh thank god" Jason whispered. Mayo snipped at her, "Mayo! No!". Lizzie kicked Mayo in the head, causing her to yelp. She chuckled, "worthless mutt". She grabbed her leash and and tied her up against the trailer hook.

"Lizzie here was undercover for us after we killed your worthless friend" Louis said "after everyone was asleep, she would come and feed us information!" He smiled at them. A tear rolled down Reid's face, "You told me you loved me!" He screamed "Every thing you said was a lie?!" Lizzie knelt down, "Yeah" she spat in his face. "Loui! You're up!"

Loui turned to them, "Now" he pulled out a walkie "you're gonna listen to your friends die." Shooting and screams sounded from the other end, another man walked up beside Loui. "It'll be y'alls turn so-" a bullet flew through his head. Jason turned around to see Kasy, Alex and a few others pointing guns at them. They fired at them again, Loui and Lizzie lead their men into the woods, retreating.

Damon untied Mayo and she ran over to Jason. "The van is done" Marcus said, "we have to go on foot" Alex looked at them "we better hurry!" They ran down the road.

The walkie talkie beeped. Reid grabbed it and put it up against his mouth. "Hello?!" "Help...." It was Laura's voice.
Jason took the walkie from him and clicked talk, "babe?! What's happening?!" She started to cry "oh god! They're dead! They're dead!" Jason pressed talk again, "w-who's dead?! Who?" "Oh god Ella!" Gunshots rang out.

Laura screamed "oh god!!! It's Axel, wake up!!! Oh god he's dead!" Jason heard Jared's voice. "Babe, you gotta hide!" "Okay" she whispered, there was a sniffle then silence.

The continued to run down the long road. "You think we'll make it there on time?" Damon asked. "Hopefully" Craig responded. "Hopefully?" Reid asked "How about-" scream. They all came to a stop. "Get ready" Damon said, unsheathing his knife. Mayo started to snarl, multiple undead rushed them at the same time, all screaming.

One grabbed onto Jason and they went tumbling to the ground. Mayo was going wild, Jason kicked it off, it stumbled back, stunned. It came back at him again.

Craig fired his M9 into the head of a freak. Another one rushed him, he pistol whipped it, then shot it.

"NOW!" A voice screamed from the woods. Bullets flew from the woods, Reid fired back, "DIE YOU PEICES OF TRASH!!" He sprayed the bullets all into the woods, he heard knew his bullet found a home in some one when he heard a scream and bushes rustling.

Mayo attack one that was coming at Jason. She threw it to the ground and ripped into it's face. "Good girl" he said nodding. Something suddenly ripped through her leg and she yelped louder then he had ever heard. She had been shot. "MAYO!" He screamed. He scooped her up, "We need to go!" He screamed, Reid turned back "Go! I'll hold them off!" He screamed. The others took off while Reid held them off .

The continued to run, when they where a safe distance away, Jason sat Mayo down. He ripped off his sleeve and wrapped it around her hind leg, "Its okay-just-it'll be fine" he tried to hide his fear from the others, his girlfriend was in danger and his dog was hurt. He picked her up and walked ahead of the others. Since no one could see him, he let some tears fall.

They were walking for a few more minutes, there was no noise, except for the sounds of their feet crunching leaves and Mayo occasionally whining.
Jason was suddenly yanked back, "in the shed!" Damon whispered loudly.  They walked into a small shed and crouched down. He softly stroked
Mayo's head to keep her quite. Two army trucks flew down the road, presumably Jared's men looking for them.

When they had passed, Craig got up to leave but Damon grabbed him, "No, someone's coming." They quietly listened as leaves crunched towards them. Damon drew his gun and pointed towards the door. A shadow appeared under the the door, it slowly started to creak open. The door pushed all the way open and Damon fired, some screamed. "I-It's me!" Jason lifted his head up, revealing Reid. "Are you trying to kill me?!" Damon sighed in relief "Oh thank god" he got up and pulled him into a Bro hug.

Once again, they where running down the road, night had fallen. They weren't gonna make it home in time. Just when they had lost hope, they saw smoke rising from the trees. "That's it!" Craig said pointing. They cut through the woods, they could hear screaming get louder and louder. Smoke started to fill the air. When they came out of the trees, they saw something horrific. The front gates where down, some of the buildings were on fire and bodies littered the ground. The dead where swarming the place, eating their once friends. "Oh...my....god...." Reid whispered. Damon looked at all of them, "Get ready" then, he cocked his gun.
