Thank you again to all my readers. And a special thank you to Markrod10 and WeR3 for their reviews. I hope that everyone likes this chapter. And I'm sorry about the first part of the last chapter. I forgot to put that it was flashback to the day the outbreak occurred. Sorry again for the confusion it won't happen again. I hope everyone enjoys the next chapter of New Jersey's Walking Dead.

Juliet Rosa's POV:

We had driven for miles and miles after we picked up Max. He seemed like an ok kid. Or at least to me he did. "So Max where were you staying before we found you?" I asked him. I was wondering because he was all alone when we found him. And he said his parents were dead.

Max looked down at his feet. "I was staying on the roof of my house," he said quietly. "It's more safer to be in a high up place. It doesn't look like these things can climb that well to me."

I nodded to this. It didn't look like they could climb that well. Maybe Max was right about them after all. "Fia," Katherine said, "are we almost there?" She was beginning to whine. She only whined when she was bored or needed to go to the bathroom.

"What's wrong Katie?" I asked her.

"I don't like being out here with those things," she said pointing out the window at the bunch of walkers shuffling along the street trying to get at us.

"Don't worry," said Sofia. "Your big sis won't let them get you. Any of you. We're family now. And family protects each other. That includes you Max."

Katherine Rosa's POV:

I looked out at the street to see a couple of those things shuffling down the street after a car. A young woman walked out of a store front. The walker caught her scent and began to go towards her in a frenzy. I hid my face as they began to tear the young woman apart.

"Dang it," screamed Sofia who had tried to stop and help the girl. She wasn't able to stop in time to even get out of the car. By the time the car stopped the walkers had caught on that we were there as well. They were coming towards the car. "Does anyone have a weapon they can use?" Sofia pulled out her old baseball bat she used for softball.

"I've got a crossbow I can use," said Max.

"Ok," said Sofia. "We're going to go take care of our little friends out there. Katie and Jules stay in the car and keep the door locked. Don't open it until you hear from Max or myself. Do you hear me?"

We both nodded and huddled in the back seat together.

Sofia Rosa's POV:

Max and I got out of the car and walked towards the group of walkers shuffling towards us. Max got out his crossbow and fired off a arrow hitting the first one in the head. I ran over and began hitting as many of them as I could with my bat.

Max Navarro's POV:

I smirked to myself as I hit the first walker with my arrow. I watched as Sofia charged them taking a few down with her bat. She was going crazy on them. I kept firing at the heads as many of them as I could hit. I watched them as one by one they went down.

"That was for my family," I said spitting on the one nearest to me.

"And my for my family too," said Sofia kicking one of the walkers nearest to her. I looked towards the car and saw the two other girls sitting there watching us. They seemed scared. But also happy at the same time. Then I remembered that Sofia was there older sister. The little boy looked like he didn't know what was going on. Which he probably didn't even have a clue. "Let's get back in the car and move on."

We walked back to the car. And drove off again after Juliet let us in. We were driving for what felt like a few more hours until Sofia finally stopped at what looked like a beach house.

"We're here everyone," she announced. "Let's check this place and make sure it's safe."

Keira Lockhart's POV:

I watched from the window of the house that I secured as a red Kia Soul pulled. A bunch of teenagers with a couple of little kids got out. The younger one seemed to be afraid. I might as well go invite them in. They look tired as all get out. I walked down the stairs.

Luke Rosa's POV:

"I'm sleepy Fia," I complained as Sofia made us help her check and see if the bad things were hiding in the building. I jumped a little as I saw a shadow move against one of the wall behind a flight of stairs. "Fia somethings over there."

She smiled indulgently and said, "It's probably nothing Luke. Just an animal or something."

It looked like a human. I knew that much. I jumped as I saw it again. This time it was getting closer to us. It kept getting closer and closer by the minute. I hope it's not one of those bad things.

"Fia," I screamed, "It's right behind you."

A voice sounded from behind Sofia saying, "Can I help you people?"

Cliffhanger time. What will happen next? Are our heroes in danger? Is the safe house as safe as Sofia thinks it is? Will the group accept Keira's offer of help? Find out the answers to these and more in the next chapter of New Jersey's Walking Dead. And remember reviews are like cookies everyone loves them.
