Chapter 16

I quickly grabbed my AK-47 from my back and started to shoot the horde of Walkers with Jeremy.

"Everyone get inside! We can handle this!" I yelled.

The horde wasn't the biggest I have seen but it was big. There was at least around three hundred pouring in through the gates. I looked around for Hunter and Megan. I then I saw them shooting the Walkers. They were stuck in a corner.

"Jeremy. Cover me I need to go get Hunter and Megan" I said

"Ok. I've got you" Jeremy said.

As I quickly climbed down the ladder I remembered that I still haven't told Jeremy to back off from Hunter yet. All the things I've gone through I just completely forgot. I got to the ground and made a run for it towards Hunter and Megan. I shot at all the Walkers around them and then quickly ran to them.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"We're ok. Are you ok?" Hunter asked.

"I'm fine" I said holding Megan's hand.

"What do we do?" Hunter asked.

"We need to get inside" I said.

I looked down at Megan. She looked scared.

"Follow me" I said.

We made a run for the nearest building and ironically the building was the home economics building. We ran for it. I heard screams for help behind me.

"Hunter take Megan's hand. I'll be back" I said.

I quickly ran towards the screams it was Anastasia. It looks like she hurt her leg somehow. I quickly ran towards her. She put her arm around me and I dragged her to the home economics room pushing past the horde.

"I've got you" I said.

As we were running I remembered the first time Heath attacked us. I left Josh my friend, behind. I just kept running. I didn't stop to help him. But I have changed now. I got Anastasia to the home economics room. I opened the door for her and Hunter brought her in. I took out a few Walkers coming towards us. I then closed and locked the door.

"Shit! What the hell are we going to do!?" Hunter yelled in frustration.

I walked into the room.

"Everyone ok?" I asked.

"We're fine. But Anastasia's leg is hurt quite bad. She must of fell over. She's bleeding a little" Hunter said.

"Ok. Megan are you ok" I asked.

"I'm fine" Megan said.

I walked over to Megan and gave her a big hug and a kiss on her cheek. I stood up and walked over to Hunter. She was patching up Anastasia's leg.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"Never felt better. Thanks by the way. For coming back to get me" Anastasia said.

"You don't have to thank me. I'm here for you. I'm here for everyone" I said.

I heard lots of shooting outside.

"Jeremy must still be up in the guard tower shooting at the Walkers. I need to get out there" I said.

"No. You're staying" Hunter said.

"Hunter. They need help. I'll be fine. I'll be back. I love you" I said.

"I love you more" Hunter said smiling.

I kissed Megan again and said goodbye. I quickly ran out and took out all of the Walkers at the door. It looked like there was only a few left. Jeremy took out a whole bunch of them. I took out about ten more and that was it.

"You good!?" I yelled to Jeremy.

"I'm good. What about you?" Jeremy asked.

"I'm fine. Shit! Jeremy get down now!" I screamed as I saw a truck coming straight for the gate.

The truck drove through the broken down gate and quickly stopped when it got inside. About ten people came rushing out. Jeremy started to shoot at them. I quickly ran over for help but they started to shoot at me so I got to cover. I saw Heath making a run for a building. I quickly turned around the corner and shot at him. Heath jumped for cover. I wasn't paying any attention to the others. Heath's people started to shoot at me. I got hit in the arm and I quickly got back to cover.

"Argh!" I yelled in pain.

I looked around the corner and saw Jeremy taking out most of Heath's men. As I was about to start shooting at them I heard running from behind me. I turned around but I was to late. I was tackled to the floor. I noticed that it was Heath. He must of ran around without me noticing. He punched me in the face.

"This is what you get for killing all of my people!" Heath said hitting me again.

I tried to get him off me but he was too strong. He hit me again and again. I couldn't feel my face anymore. He hit me again even harder.

"You destroyed my army! So it's time for me to destroy your family" Heath said.

He hit me about three more times. He was about to punch me in the face again when somebody came up behind him and grabbed him off me. It was Alleigh.

"You bitch!" Heath said standing back up.

I quickly tripped Heath over. Heath fell to the floor. Alleigh ran over to him and kicked him in the face. I slowly tried to stand up. Heath stood up again and kicked my prosthetic foot as hard as he could. The foot bent forward cutting into my skin.

"Argh! Fuck" I screamed in agony.

Alleigh ran into him and he fell over. I was still screaming in pain. Alleigh took out her gun and aimed it at Heath. She shot. But her gun was empty. She took out her knife instead. I quickly grabbed my AK-47 but it was empty as well.

"Oh. You want to play that game then. Ok. Let's play" Heath said standing up taking out his knife.

I reached down to my holster to try to grab my revolver. But it wasn't in the holster. I looked around and I saw it a few meters away from me. I slowly got onto my knees and arms and crawled towards my revolver. I looked back at Heath and Alleigh. Alleigh dodged Heath's attack and stabbed Heath in his back. Heath picked up Alleigh and slammed her into the ground. I picked up the pace. Alleigh slowly stood up.

"Not to tough anymore huh?" Heath said smiling.

"I'm just doing this to help a family member. I'll do anything for him. I love him to bits. So screw you I will always be tough for him" Alleigh said wiping blood away from her nose.

I was so close to getting the revolver. Alleigh looked like she was about to pass out. Heath ran into Alleigh and stabbed her in the stomach.

"No! Alleigh!" I yelled.

Alleigh fell to the ground.

"Shit" I said crawling towards the revolver.

Heath turned around and faced me. He ran over to me and kicked me in my stomach.

"Argh!" I yelled.

"She was better then I thought" Heath said kicking me again.

"Look at you. You're nothing. You can't even fight. You're weak. You can't beat me" Heath said.

I turned onto my back.

"Fuck you" I said aiming the revolver at Heath.

"Shit" Heath said as I shot him in the heart.

Blood came spitting out of Heath's mouth. I slowly stood up. I grabbed my knife and stabbed Heath in the stomach over and over again. He fell to the ground. I looked up and saw Alleigh still moving a little. I hopped over to her and kneeled down next to her. I put my hands over her wound and pressed hard.

"Hey. Stay with me ok?" I said.

Alleigh grabbed my hand. She looked into my eyes and started to cry.

"You're going to be fine. Come on. Please. Stay with me. Please" I said crying.

"Th..a.nk.... y..ou" Alleigh said softly.

"What for you saved me" I said holding Alleigh's hand.

Alleigh didn't respond.

"Alleigh?" I said looking up.

Alleigh was completely still.

"No. Alleigh come on. Wake up. Come on. Wake up. Please" I said hugging her body.

All of Heath's people were dead and I saw lots of people running over to me to see what was going on. I put my ear against Alleigh's heart and heard nothing. I closed Alleigh's eyes and held her body tightly.
