All of the group had started taking action and started killing the small horde of walkers that had appeared through the wood. Ethan had grabbed Lauren by the hand, who was still clearly in shock over her brother. “Come on Lauren! We need to go!” He shouted at her trying to get her attention. She slowly turned around to look at Ethan in the eyes but you could tell the look on her face she wasn’t taking anything in. He started to move her down the road pushing her towards where Alex had walked off and she slowly wondered off in that direction not noticing anything around her.
At that moment Ethan realised that all of his gear was still on the bonnet. His rucksack, map, compass and drink were all scattered over it. He began to run over to the car as another walker appeared in front of him. The walkers were always predictable so a one on one situation was always simple enough. The walker had grabbed him by the shoulders but Ethan quickly kicked it in the stomach. The walker went flying back and crashed into the side of a car that had been long abandoned on the road, a second later Ethan's hatchet went flying into the head of it. He put his foot on the dead walkers shoulder and yanked out the hatchet that was lodged into the head.
Ethan continued to move towards the car getting there a few moments later, he started to chuck everything in his ruck sack quickly. Behind him he heard the voice of the girl who’d just been in the stand off with him say, “If you want out, get in my truck.”
He turned around to see the girl running off and a dead walker right behind him. “Thanks for the offer.” Ethan said to her as she wondered off even further. Another walker came up at the side of him and all he did this time was grab it's head and forced it down smashing the decaying head on the corner of the bonnet. “I can’t leave everyone though.” He said mainly to himself, not thinking the girl could hear him anymore. Ethan started to move up the Highway, there weren’t too many Walkers left that could be seen now but he had no clue how many could be in the woods. With his hatchet in hand he started to slowly jog down the highway looking around. He was about to kill a Walker but has he approached it, a bullet flew through it’s head. The Walker fell to the ground in front of him and Ethan found it very strange, he didn’t hear anyone shoot. He looked around but couldn’t see anybody firing their weapon. Ethan didn’t have time to think about it though. He shouted to everyone, “Keep moving down the road, head towards Alex.” It wasn’t the best idea shouting Ethan knew but he didn’t have time going round to everyone individually telling them to move up the street. He looked behind him to see the red head mowing down the remaining Walkers.
