"They're going to eat us." A small voice said, everyone turned to see Ellis, his head resting on the side of the roof, looking out at the interstate. His sister scoffed as she grabbed his hand and pulled him back over to where they were resting with their mother before. "Don't say that." she said sitting back down with him.

Jemma looked at her children huddled in the corner, and couldn't help but feel ashamed because every part of her was screaming to leave them, let them be someone else's problems. Voices brought her out of these thoughts as she turned back towards the others. She missed the beginning of the conversation but it was obvious they were discussing what to do next.

Anthony was pointing out at the interstate, "We get through that mess and were home free, out of this mess of a town!". Klaire had her arms crossed and was lightly tapping her foot, she was listening to what he had to say but she didn't agree with it all. Jemma stepped forward entering the conversation herself, "You'd just rather use us all as bait for those things while you make your way across!" she was clearly frustrated.

Audri placed a reassuring hand on Jemma's shoulder, "Of course that's not what he wants." Klaire nodded to Jemma agreeing, "Nothings going to happen to your kids, promise." she smiled. Jemma kept silent, angrily. She was more concerned for her own safety.

Patrick finally decided to intervene, once again. "What if someone just distracts those things? All it would take is some noise and they'd all go in one direction. Then the rest of us could hop across, problem solved." Wayne grunted, "One problem, whoever makes the distraction is probably dead. Let's face it, those things get through anything when they are in large enough numbers. So that person will be in the most danger."

"It's still the best plan." Patrick was holding his ground, he felt it was their best shot. Ryan and Greg looked at each other, nodded, then raised their hands slightly, "We'll do it. We'll create the distraction, we're quick and if there is two of us then it'll be a little less dangerous if we pull them in two different directions." said Greg. His brother Ryan nodding in agreement.

"Just do us one favor." Ryan said, looking over his shoulder at Kate who had basically cried herself to sleep. "If things head south and we don't make it or get split up. Watch out for her?" He turned back to the group. "Of course." Klaire said with a smile, "We're all in this together."

Zoey and Connor the married couple sat nearby listening. Connor stood up. "We aren't going with you." he said looking back at his wife. "We talked it over and we're going to wait for the military or something. It's just not safe and we...just can't." With that he turned around and sat back beside his wife. Klaire looked like she was about to protest but Patrick and Wayne waved her off.

"Can't we just find a bridge and cross it instead?" Falisha said, her voice cracking a little from her dry throat. "No, the bridges would probably be far worse, and we'd have to actually get to one. And with how many cars are jammed around this area we'd never be able to drive long before getting stuck." Wayne said motioning towards the mess of cars in the surrounding area.

"Let's just get this over with." Dane said. "Alright, we do this carefully and quietly." said Patrick, going over to the ladder they had initially climbed to get up here. Patrick, Wayne, and Klaire slowly went down. The walkers that had been on the roof with Jakes body had since dispersed and only a few remained. Wayne and Klaire moved in to make quick work of them while Patrick quickly closed the doors before anymore heard them. "Everybody down the first ladder." Said Greg, he and Ryan were herding everyone down. Ryan gave one last look at Zoey and Connor "Good luck." he said before he to made his way down.

Now they had to move down the second ladder that led to the ground. After everyone was down and hidden Greg and Ryan both armed themselves with a wrench and an axe. One headed to the left and the other to the right. And at the same time they began making enough noise to pull the walkers inbetween the barriers towards them. Which left the area between the Ryan and Greg mostly clear. Banging on cars and taunting them by yelling, this also drew the walkers who weren't on the interstate but merely nearby, which was the biggest threat to the twins. Keeping the interstate walkers preoccupied while not getting trapped by those on the outside.

Klaire gave the signal and everyone sprinted to the barriers, leaping over them. Wayne and Katie helped Annie and Ellis who were too short to do so by themselves. Audri and Klaire moved forwards trying to clear and kill any walkers who were too slow or didn't hear the ruckus the twins were making. Slowly everyone made it to the middle barrier, they were halfway through.

Anthony couldn't help but notice there was only noise from one direction now. Which either meant one of the boys had been killed or had to run. To everyone's dismay many of the walkers on the other side of the middle barrier weren't interested in Greg or Ryan. "We can't go back! We have to push through!" Jemma cried. "Easy for you to say, I don't see you helping us kill these things." Dane hissed.

After very quickly deciding on a course of action. Klaire, Patrick, Dane, Wayne, and Anthony hopped over to try and clear the way for everyone else. The others were to wait as long as possible. Anthony shoved his screwdriver in the back of the closest walkers head. Wayne crouched low and passed him, taking another out with his knife. Klaire and Patrick were doing the same nearby. The cars gave excellent cover as long as you stayed low and quiet.

Dane had a different idea, he sprinted for the other side of the interstate. He wanted nothing to do with this, he was going to make it and that was all that mattered to him. The others watched, none saying a word for fear of the dead hearing, but just giving angry looks before continuing their onslaught.

"Waaaait!!" the shrill voice pitched through the air, catching the attention of the dead from every direction. And the living, as everyone looked back towards the school to see Zoey and Connor making their way down the ladder. "Don't leave, us!" shouted Zoey. Audri and Falisha tried waving at them to shutup. "We changed our mi--", Zoey was almost all the way down when she slipped and fell. "Zoey!", Connor yelled following her down as quickly as possible. When Zoey landed her ankle had given way, Connor put his arm around her and together they made their way towards the interstate.

Walkers were already upon them, Zoey's leg made slowed them down. "Go!" he yelled, letting his wife go before kicking the nearest walker away. One grabbed at his arm before sinking its teeth into his shoulder. He cried out in pain before he was swarmed. Zoey had managed to limp to the first barrier, she heard Connor's scream just before she turned around. Her heart broke as she scrambled over the first barrier, falling over. Her eyes full of tears she stood up grasping at the person in front of her. She realized her mistake too late as he bit into her neck and a wretched gurgling scream filled the air once again. Suddenly there was more yelling but this was coming from the direction they were headed. Chaos let loose as many began to panic.

Klaire, worried about the others broke her cover, rounded a car heading back towards the group, only to trip over one of the walkers they'd just taken care of. Angrily she reached upwards to an open car door to help her stand again, a decayed hand reached out of the car and grabbed her arm. She gasped and pulled away, which ripped the walker out of the car and onto her. Desperately she tried to keep its jaws away from her face, she cast a quick glance to her right a broken off windshield wiper lay on the ground. And beyond that she realized the scuffle had caught the attention of another walker who was making its way over. She brought a leg up between herself and the walker on top of her which let her reach for the windshield wiper, it was just out of reach. Suddenly a feeling of hopelessness filled her as her eyes started to water. After a third attempt to grab the wiper she finally clasped it in her hand. Bringing it up she shoved it through the walkers temple.

She knew the other walker was probably upon her and she shoved the first off before striking forwards almost immediately without looking. "Woah!" came a shout. She had to stop herself as she realized it was already dead on the ground, and she was about to stab Patricks leg. "Hey" he said helping her up. "You okay?" He'd dispatched of the walker just as she'd taken care of hers. "Yeah, thanks." she said wiping the water from her eyes. Which smeared a little walker blood onto her cheek in the process.

Meanwhile, Walkers were making their way towards the group at the middle barrier. "Up and over." Audri said helping the kids across. "We gotta go even if it isn't clear were about to get boxed in here. We run and we don't stop." Klaire said having returned to the barrier to get them moving. Everyone was across and everyone ran. Wayne, Patrick, and Anthony were still trying to clear as much of the walkers as they could ahead. Finally it was mostly clear and the group rushed throughout the cars. Falisha noticed Dane on the ground, his screams were the ones they'd heard. He'd been caught by a walker through a car window just before making it to the other side. "Good riddance." she spat, never slowing down. They may have worked together but she couldn't forgive him for trying to leave them.

Once over the final barrier and making sure the immediate area was clear they took a moment to breathe. "Everyone...here?" Patrick said looking around still catching his breath. "Dane's dead." Falisha said simply. No one looked particularly sad about this news. "Where's Ellis?" a small voice said as his sister Annie looked around worriedly. "Where's my brother!" her voice getting louder with panic. As if on cue Ellis cried out from the interstate. He'd gotten separated.

Many rushed back to the barrier to try and spot him but he was small, and most of the vehicles had luggage strapped on top, making it even more difficult to see far. And walkers had made their way over from all the ruckus, which made everyone pull back from the barrier, afraid.

Ellis was backing away on the interstate, crying as a walker converged on him. Suddenly his back hit a car and he cried out in fear. "Mommy!". Jemma's heart ached slightly at the voice calling for him, and it surprised her. Ellis covered his face, closed his eyes and just cried.

And that scene when Klaire nearly died. That was soo intense... You are really good at this!! :-) Sorry I ramble a lot, but good job.
