So I wasn't sure if people were still reading this story on here hence why it took me so long to update, so now I know people are interested I'll update on here at the same time as Wattpad so no ones left behind. I'm actually trying to see which site gets more views for this story and currently here had 1.2k and Wattpad has 1.7k so I'm pretty impressed.
Also I know there are mistakes in this fic after looking over some of the chapters I've noticed a few big ones which I will be trying to update when I have time. Please be kind and understand there may be some grammer problems but we're all human and sometimes when you get into a story you forget and miss things when proof reading.
Chapter two Season 3
"Dad, we need to stop," I announced from the backseat leaning forward.
"We don't have time to stop, if we do we wont be able to put enough distance between us and that hoard" he carried on driving down the road getting closer to the group that now spotted us and signaled for help.
"Dad Keira's right you can't just leave them" my sister backed me.
"As much as I'd like to argue with the girls isn't it better to help them and have less z's to fight?" Dean added, I liked it when we all pulled together to prove my dad wrong. It wasn't very often it happened but when it did I felt like a smug teen.
"Fine we'll stop, Keira you stay in the car me and Dean will go check it out" I didn't like staying in the car but I know if I started arguing he wouldn't stop at all.
Pulling up on the other side of the road Dean and my dad got out and made their way other to the group while the rest of us sat in the car eagerly waiting to see what would unfold. After a few minutes Dean made his way back to the truck.
"Is everything okay?" My mum asked.
"We're not sure, one of them has a cut on their side and it looks badly infected so that's going to need treating soon. The rest of the group seems to be okay just needing a bit of food, water and rest really".
"We need to get moving so if they're coming they need to come now" my mum told Dean who nodded and went back to my dad. After a few more minutes the new group made their way over to the truck and I couldn't believe my eyes.
It was her Amy. I hadn't seen her since everything kicked off between 10k and her, so here she was wanting help from my family. The nerve of this girl but it was my idea to stop and help them, times like this I wished I didn't say anything.
"Keira? Why are you here, where's Tommy?" As soon as she saw me all these questions bubbled out of her mouth.
"Clearly not here" Was all I said as Dean ushered them into the back of the truck, we didn't have long to find cover before the hoard would be here.
"What was that all about?" Dean whispered as he got into the car.
"I ran into her while I was with that other group and she was a right bitch" was all I said as I slumped back into the car. This was going to be the worst apocalypse ever! I wonder if she'd get eaten by a Z and then everything could go back to how it was.
We needed to get off the road the hoard of Z's couldn been seen in the distance as they started to close in, we'd soon run out of gas and that would be it for us. Pulling into a motel my dad turned off the car and began getting out, the rest of us following behind.
"We can't stop here, it's not safe" One of the men from the group piped up.
"Well what do you suggest, carry on driving in the hopes we'll find something better?" My dad shot back.
"Yeah it's better than this!" the man motioned to the motel.
"Then take your chances out there then" my dad stepped aside so the man could go.
"But the petrol will only get you so far and I hope there's somewhere for you to hide when that does happen" the man fell silent and didn't argue anymore, we quickly gathered the stuff from the back of the truck and made our way into the motel.
"Right we need to take a look at that wound and see how bad it is" my mum said to the lady that had the wound.
Nodding she walked over to where we'd started to set up, instead of everyone spreading out in the motel it made more sense for us all to stay in one room. At least then if any z's got in they would be easier to fight off with more people.
There wasn't much to do other than sit around and wait for this to blow over so we could move out again, taking a seat on the floor leaning against the wall a certain redhead decided to join me.
"Can we talk?" she asked, I didn't want to talk to her. I'd rather go talk to that hoard of z's that would be here any minute but I guess I didn't have much choice as she already started talking.
"Look I'm sorry about what happened I didn't mean to come between you and 10k"
"It's fine I guess"
"No it's not. It's just I hadn't seen him in so long and all those feelings came rushing back I didn't think for one minute he'd of moved on but we're all different people now"
"Look it's fine honestly it was a long time ago and the last thing we should be doing is arguing over a boy" I smiled it was kind of the truth we did have bigger things to worry about other than boys, still part of me didn't trust her.
"Everybody keep quiet I can see them coming" the guy from earlier announced as the first wave of z's started coming. The room fell into silence as the thuds of the z's could be heard outside, all we could do was sit and wait which was one of the worst feelings you never knew when it would be over.
Suddenly shots were fired from somewhere in the motel, this was not what we needed the z's piled in more and more passing our room. Not only were the z's a problem but so was the person that had fired the shot. We didn't know if there was another group and how they would react to seeing us. This caused some members of the group to mutter amongst themselves as fear started to take over.
"Everybody stay calm" my dad whispered loud enough for everyone to hear. Then the sound of banging echoed through the room, looking around everyone tried to locate where the sound was coming from and z's started to bang at the door trying to get in.
"Over here it's the vents" someone shouted from on top of a chair, the case to the vent popped open as a young man jumped to the floor. Before anyone could say anything he shouted back to the vent.
"They're in here!" This caused more z's to start banging at the door, making people go hold it to stop them getting in. All this noise was going to get us killed and it was about to get a lot worse.
More banging appeared above us before the ceiling came crashing down and more men appeared in the room.
"Good job kid" one of the men said as he looked around our group that were now pushed up against the walls.
"Now listen here people this is our place and we don't take kindly to strangers just barging in" the man started.
"Have you not seen the hoard out there? You're going to cause them to break in here and kill us all you idiot" the man who piped up earlier spoke up to the new group. The new group burst into laughter till the person who was just speaking pulled out a gun and shot him in the head.
"Now let's try this again shall we without any interruptions. Like I was saying this is our motel and if you want to stay here there's a price you have to pay. Because of the big mouth over there our price has just doubled." he smiled and looked us all up and down resting his eyes on me and Amy.
"Perfect as payment for staying here. We'll take them two lovly ladies off your hands, as well as any food and amo you have" walking over to us he placed his hand on Amy's cheek who simply pulled away in disgust.
"Don't worry little lady we'll take good care of you" he proceeded to whisper into her ear loud enough so I could hear as well.
"I'm sorry but that's not going to happen" my dad stepped forward challenging the man.
"Silly me did I forget to mention the payment is non negotiable, you either pay of you all die and we still take them"
"Well it looks like you'll have to kill us then because there is no way you're just taking them without a fight" this seemed to make the men smile, they wanted a fight and that's what they were going to get.
Within seconds people were pulling their guns out ready to fire at one another, first to shoot were one of the newcomers missing the guys head and grazing his shoulder.
"My turn" gun fire broke loose as people started shooting in the tiny room, the z's banging even more at the door.
Dropping to the ground with Amy, we looked around. We needed to get out of here and fast, there in the corner was a vent that some of us would be able to crawl through if we were quick enough. It was risky either the men inside would catch us or the z's on the outside would get a snack but it was our only option. Motioning to the vent we started to crawl to it, the guys distracted by the gun fire that was echoing round the room. Shaking the vent we managed to get it off it was just a case of kicking off the one to the outside so we could make a run for it. Seeing what we were doing a few others made their way over to us while my dad and others carried on the gunfire as a distraction.
A few of us had made it through the vent before the door busted open, z's piling into the room, screams filled the air as they started ripping into any flesh they could find. We were out of time. I stood up and looked at my dad. Dean, my dad and sister were still in the room, Amy and my mum had made it out, there was only one thing left to do and that was go through the window and worry about the z's outside. On the count of three we burst through the window and began fighting the z's that stood in our way, slowly but surely there was an opening and I began to run from the hungry monsters. Only some people weren't so lucky. I could never unhear or unsee what was about to happen. The scream of my younger sister echoed in my ears as I turned around to see a second z rip into her neck, the life drained from her face and he was now one of them. My mum tried to help her which only led to her demise as well, in those few moments I lost my sister, my mother and then Dean as I watched one of the once living gunmen burst through the window and throw him to the floor ripping out his throat in the process.
There I stood in shock unable to move Amy pulling on my arm. I was unable to hear what she was saying, as tears flooded down her cheeks. I didn't snap back to reality until I realised someone had picked me up and was running with me, that person was my dad, the only living family I now had left.
