The Undead

It's been relatively calm around here these past 4 years. There's been a few packs here and there and there's been more people join our little group of people. Most of them where men who lost the ones they love to the zombies but it I a good thing we landed a doctor in this ordeal. Who knows when we're going to need one. We've all managed to fight off a few packs and strays here and there but there hasn't been a pack bigger than 15. I'm glad for that even though we have the fire power to take out as many as a small army.

Dakota, Dominyk, and baby are doing really well. Even though the once newborn baby is now up and walking and talking.I swear that child is a real chatterbox but he knows to stay quiet when there are Stray's or a Pack in the area. He learns really fast and I'm so glad for that. I don't know how it would be if someone was a slow learner around here. Winter's were the best time to go out and do things even though it was colder than shit outside but we got to eat and with the good hunting around here, I'm not about to leave my home. I will defend my home until I die. I don't feel like leaving this home ever.

I carried my rifle in my hands as Dante, Jacob, John, and Mike were with me. Matt, Jimmy, Johnny, Brian, and Zacky were in the other direction about 100 yards away. I heard rustling and I raised my hand and everyone stopped at my side.

"What is it?"

"I don't know." I said aiming my gun towards the noise. I quietly went towards the rustling leaves and seen a deer just standing there in the open. I took aim and shot it directly into the heart and it fell to the ground dead.

"Nice shot!"

"Thanks Dante." I said smiling as we walked over to retrieve the good size 10 point buck. We got to the top of the hillside and tied a rope to the dead animal's feet so it would be easier to drag. I felt someone poking my shoulder and I swatted their hand away. I was pulled to my feet and I looked Dante right in the eyes.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked angrily. He pointed down the slope and when I looked my eyes widened and I knew I gasped from the sight that was in front of me. There was a pack at the bottom of the hill making its way to us.

"There has to be at least 60 of them." Dante said as we looked down upon them. I picked up my radio and called to the guys of Avenged.

"Get back to the house now! There's a huge pack over the hill and they will be at the house any minute. We'll fight them off as long as we can." I said into the radio.

"Do you all need any help?"

"Just get back to the house and alert everyone!" I yelled and I clipped my radio back onto my belt and switched to my machine gun. I aimed into the Pack down the hill and started firing. A few dropped to the ground dead but the rest were coming up too fast. I motioned for the others to come and we ran as fast as we could back to the house. I knew my deer would slow some of them down but it wouldn't slow the rest of them. I busted through the back door and locked it up tightly.

"Is the Pack huge Serenity?"

"You better believe it. They'll be coming out of those woods any minute. I'm going up top and blowing the shit out of them." I said wrapping 4 belts around my torso and heading up the stairs. I flung open one of the bedroom doors and stood up my machine gun and see the pack coming through the woods. I pulled the trigger and watched the dead fall as they stepped out into the open but more still came. I could hear gun fire downstairs as I reloaded my machine gun with another belt.

Even if I killed 10 at a time, they were still coming. I don't think they'll stop but I will not leave my home. I reloaded the weapon again with Felicity came through the door.

"We have to leave Serenity! There's just too many of them!"

"I can't leave my home! I won't be ran out a place again." I said as I fired into the bastards again but again it wasn't stopping them.

"Please we have too!" I felt her grab a hold of my arm and I looked up at her as I kept the trigger firing. I stopped firing the weapon and raced downstairs where everyone was already in their cars.

"Did you load up any food we have left along with the guns and ammo?" I asked as I got into the back of the truck. I loaded the bigger machine gun and attached myself to it as Felicity got into the truck. She opened the garage door and I deactivated the mines as she flew out fo there with lightning speed. I seen some of the Pack come around the house as we got into the road and I instantly reactiviated it. I fired the machine gun into the pack and they feel to the ground. One fell and started making the mines go off all around the house and in the driveway killing most of them but they just kept coming. I banged on the hood of the truck and told Felicity to drive into town. Now I've lost my goddamn home. A home Felicity and I spent months even years actually getting it right...now it's nothing but a pile of glowing flames in the distance.
