The air bed we badly blew up had deflated completely and there was a cloud and of dust above us.

The sun warmed my skin, for a few minutes I felt safe. Like no one could hurt me.. us.

" Bang! Bang!"

I stirred on the thin sheets.

" scratch! Scratch!"

I stretched my body out with a deep sigh.

"Groan! Groan!"

I saw a bloody hand press up against the window, then two hands and a face.

I sat up in fear, Jeremy was no were to be seen, Paul and Ethan were still fast asleep. The now familiar face was steering at me.

The cheesy smile from ear to ear, the black eyes and that haunting whisper. It was the man from the street, he was muttering something.

"I.. found.. knew.. you...hide.. forever"

Then it got clearer.

"I found you.. I knew you couldn't hide forever.."

I let out a faint scream, "Jeremy! Jeremy! Were are you!"

I heard Paul wake, " what's up?!" He coughed.

"Were under attack.. we need to get out! Have u seen Jeremy??" I said and started pack up the packs and looking for weapons.

"No.. I haven't. Ethan! Ethan! Wake up my child!" He said shaking him.

"What.." Ethan mumbeled, "were leaving okay, we need to go right-"

Ethan screamed as hand smashed through the window above them, "get to the middle of the room!" I yelled and ran to the back door checking it was clear.

There were only a couple walkers out the back, that's when I saw someone sprinting towards the house with a dog,the strangers details were familiar.

It was Jeremy.

He pulled out a sword and hacked away at the group of walkers; Theo also attacking.Paul came over to me.

"I need you to take care of Ethan.." he whispered, I didn't get it.

"With my stump I can't run nor can I fight.. I will distract the group long enough for you guys to get out.."

"No.." I hissed, Paul had his mind set; there was no way I could change it.

"You need to.. look jade I'm a 85 year old man whose basically disabled and can't fight. Ethan's my grandson and its my duty to protect him.. you two are good people and I know you'll keep him safe.. please.."

I wiped blinked away teary eyes and gave him a hug, "I promise I will protect him with my life.." I whispered and broke the hug.

Paul had tears in his eyes, "thank you.. truly.."

Ethan came crying around the corner, "papa! Papa! I want to go home! I want mummy and daddy back!"

Paul knelt down on his good knee and gave him a huge hug, "Ethan.. my precious boy, you will go with jade and Jeremy.. I can't go far, they can protect you better than me."

Ethan was motionless, a few sobs slipped from his lips. There was a look of disappointment in his eyes.

"Ethan.. remember that you can survive.. you will find somewhere safe, and always remember that I'll always be with you." Paul said in sobs.
