Chapter 20

As the boat passed Matsqui Island, it began to sputter. They were running out of gas and needed to get to the shore and find someplace to stop. The farms of Abbotsford would offer them some refuge, at least that is what Trevor hoped. There was no other place to go now, and the darkness was unsettling to them all. The fear of not knowing what was out there waiting in the shadows was eating at their souls.

“I think we can make it to the Mission Bridge,” said Trevor. “Then find someplace around here to stay. Hopefully we won’t run into as many of them out here.”

“Yeah, we hope,” said Erica.

Trevor guided the boat past the island and then turned towards the shore near the bridge. The engine sputtered some more as they made landfall. He called to his son. “Help Mr. Sampson off the boat, and watch his leg. Once we are all off, stay together. We don’t want to get lost out here.”

“At least there’s a bit of moonlight,” replied Ian.

“Take my hand,” Lauren said to Gail as she jumped off the boat.

“Oh, I don’t need your help, lady. I can manage on my own.” Gail got off the boat and went over to her husband, who rested on a log near the shore

“We’ll rest here a few minutes, then find some shelter,” said Ian.

Bill sat down by George. “How’s the leg, buddy?”

“Oh, not too bad. It’s not too bad, I’ll make it.”

Jason went over to his father. “We can’t take those two with us. He’s only gonna slow us down. We have to move fast.”

“We aren’t leaving anyone behind,” said Lauren. “What has gotten into you anyways? These are human beings. We can’t leave people behind when those things are out there. I neve—”

“Will the two of you shut up? We don’t have any time to argue.” Trevor put his arm on his son’s shoulder. “I won’t leave anyone behind. We got this far, and I ain’t ab—”

The scream filled the air as Gail began to shriek. She pointed over by the trees. “Over there, they are coming this way.”

“Behind me, lass,” said Ian as he readied his axe. “Take your husband with you. Get by the boat.”

“Stay together,” said Trevor. “Let them come to us.”

They could run through the forest or down the road, but that would just split them up and endanger the entire group. Trevor figured it would be easier to take on the dead coming their way. He peered down the sight of his rifle at the first one. It moaned and staggered through the grass towards them. Its overalls were stained in blood, and the jaw was half torn off exposing the teeth underneath. The thing had a long grisly gash in its neck where it had been bitten. He fired his rifle, and the round pierced through the top of the ghoul’s head, pitching the thing backwards to the ground. Ian moved ahead of him, and his axe connected with the head of a woman, decapitating her in an instant.
