In the space of five minutes, five people from the group from Dana Point had been wiped out by the horde and the two woman who they’d only just met had already been taken down. Ethan was only a few yards away from Walter as a stray Walker, had come out of nowhere and surprised Walter, biting into his neck. A cry of pain came out of his mouth. Ethan could hear Nikki in the background crying out to Walter.
“No, no, no, no, no.” Ethan said to himself, shock covering his face as he watched one of his friends dying right in front of him. Ethan sprinted and crashed his hatchet into the Walkers head and then grabbed ahold of Walter as he fell to the ground. Tears had started to form in Ethan’s eyes as he looked down at his friend. Blood had already started pouring out of Walter's mouth and he was choking on it. The pain was clear to see in Walters eyes as Ethan looked down at him quickly saying,
“It’s okay mate, it’s okay, I’m here!” Walter grabbed onto Ethan’s coat like he was trying to cling to life, but within seconds he was gone. Ethan shut Walt’s eyes and got up again wiping the tears away from his eyes, knowing he couldn’t stay there a second longer.
He gave the order to Alex, as soon as everyone was in the car to leave and that’s exactly what he’d done. Jason was around fifty metres in front of him and the car was going out of sight behind them.
“Jason! Let’s go! The groups left, Let’s go!” He shouted to Jason and signalled for him to catch up. With one final look at Walter, Ethan peacefully said,
"I'll see you in the next life bud." Then started jogging at a fast speed, not at a full run so Jason could catch up to him, in the direction of where the group went.
