Nikki had taken the outter position closest to the woods in case of walkers. She'd had a lot of experience in the last year in killing walkers and some of the residents had not.

She was devastated that they had lost their refuge. They had almost been able to live normally, to a point. They had developed routine's. People were growing gardens and baking and doing normal things. There were rotations on guard duty. Nikki was usually on top of the school's three story roof. From there she could see far off in nearly every direction. She had sounded the fire alarm when she saw the hoards approaching. The deafening alarms reached across several blocks and were loud enough to warn people that trouble was on the way. She had seen people pop out of their houses and back inside to pack up stuff. 

Nikki's mind played the scene over and over. She had gotten up from her bed and gotten her gear and left her house. She was the only survivor in her family. As usual, she picked up the family picture and kissed her family and stuck it in her bag. Next she had gone to the school and up to the roof. She liked it up there. She had a pair of binoculars that she could see nearly everything. There was a clear view to the highway except where the tall buildings were in the way. This is why they did not get enough notice to get prepared sooner. She had radioed Ethan and told him the size of the hoard as soon as she could get some kind of number. The shock of how large it was spurred Nikki to run faster than she ever had before. 

Nikki had run up the streets yelling at kids to get to their parents. Many of the houses had glass doors on the front of the houses. Some had been broken and replaced with solid doors and some weren't. Nikki screamed til her voice was hoarse. Could they really fight this many at once and win? She tried to get people to the school where it was safer. The heavy doors could easily keep the walkers out and there was a lot of room. 

Nikki stepped off to the side and killed a walker by swinging her sword and watching it's head roll down the slight decline off of the road as it's body fell over. She looked up and behind them then she hurried to keep up and paid more attention.  She was glad to hear [color=00aeef]Ethan[/color] yell stop and that they were taking a short break. Her body was tired and she knew she had a long time before they were going to be able to stop for more than a few minutes. [@Josephb]
