brick and fell down with the zombie falling on top of him.  Mark held the zombie at arm’s length, as he pushed it away its decomposing arm collapsed and the zombie slumped down on him. Mark screamed in fear, Bray pulled the corpse off him and shot it in the head, “Move!” He shouted.
    Jack and Elle, rushed from the bedroom, they were met by a waiting Paige, who sat on the stairs, Jack started to rush down when the front door burst open. Dragging its feet through the door Jack watched as a corpse was guided in with a long metal pole attached to a strap around its neck.
    “What the fuck,” Elle uttered.
    Jack quickly pulled his sidearm and with a single shot sent the zombies brains through the air. As they came down the stairs, gunshots began to echo out; bullets started hitting the wall and stairs around them. Jack grabbed Elle and threw himself holding her through the stairs bannister, as they both crashed to the ground Jack covered Elle as Paige jumped on top of him trying to avoid the bullets flying around them. Jack ushered Paige forward, he started to stand as he helped Elle up.
    Touching her face, “You OK?” he asked her.
    She looked towards the front door and noticed more Zombies appearing, “We have to go,” she told him.
    Jack helped her to his feet, he began shooting again towards the door, Ryan appeared through the living room door holding Bray up, Elle grabbed Brays other arm to help, “Both of you get out now,” Jack, ordered them.
    “Wait, we stay together,” she told him in a scared voice.
    More shot began being shot through the front door, Jack pushed everyone against the wall trying to cover them with his own body, he looked round to Elle, “The furniture store we first took cover in when we got here, we all meet there,” he told her. He looked at the fear in her eyes, he suddenly kissed her, “Please go,” he whispered. Reluctantly, she helped Bray with Ryan’s help towards the back door; she took one last look to see Jack, rush into the living room.
    Mark was back to his feet, as he lifted his head, he was shocked by a swinging machete flying over him, he turned to see another zombie fall to the ground with its head in half. Jack stood there holding his machete and grabbed Mark, “Out the back, follow the others,” he ordered him. Zoe looked over to Jack as he pushed Mark out of the room, “You too,” he pointed to her.
    “I can help,” Zoe, told him, wanting to be part of the team.
    Jack looked at the truck, as it began to move away from the window, “Help the others, myself and Frank will buy you time,” he told her. Zoe noticed the look in his eyes, it was one of desperation, she knew she had to go; she touched his shoulder and ran from the room.
    Jack rushed to Frank’s side, picking up a rifle on the way; he took a knee and began to shoot out the huge hole in the wall.
    A bright light burst through the hole in the side of the house illuminating the room and almost blinding Jack and Frank. The shooting stopped and an eerie silence followed, both men picked up what they could of their supplies, when a familiar voice came from the bright light.
    At the back of the house, Elle and Ryan helped Bray headed for the back door when it smashed open, coming to a stop Elle looked at the large man standing in the doorway holding a gun. At that moment they believed it was over for them, the large man started to walk in when running through Ryan’s legs, Paige jumped into the air her teeth sinking into the man’s neck.
    As the man screamed in pain, blood gushed from his throat, Zoe rushed and grabbed the man’s gun, “Good girl,” she said as she stroked Paige’s head. She handed the gun to Ryan, who looked confused as he looked at the gun.
    They made their way out of the back of the house and along the alley. The darkness made it almost impossible to see anything; Zoe moved ahead of the others, she came to an abrupt stop noticing movement in front of them. The echoes of groans made
