Chapter 10

“Shit!” Sam exclaimed when the pub came into view. The front garden area was occupied by a dozen undead. They would need to be cleared before they could gain entry. The zombies were also beating on the front door, fruitlessly it turned out, as the door was thick wood with heavy locks. This meant that people were inside, another complication which could mean a violent showdown if they refused entry.

“Wait here,” John told them, rushing off after taking the short axe from Kurt. Sam and Sarah followed, entering the seating area in the front garden. As before, the distraction helped their effort and, taking more pleasure than they should, they butchered the dead from behind. They fell without even knowing they were about to be destroyed.

“Come on, quickly!” John called out, seeing they were no longer alone, many more were appearing from the road and undergrowth surrounding the premises. He tried the door handle, it was locked.

“Is anyone in there?” he called through the wooden door. Nothing.

“Please, if you are in there we need your help!” Sarah begged and heard hushed conversation from within.

“If you don’t let us in then we will have to break in, and that will mean we are all in danger. Please.” John didn’t want to hack through the door, leaving the pub vulnerable for anything that wanted to get in. They heard more raised voices, a male and a female, arguing.

“Dad, what’s the holdup?” Kurt asked, reaching the door.

“How do we know you won’t hurt us?” came an angry male voice from the other side of the door.

“We are a family. We don’t want any trouble, just somewhere to get warm. We have been in an accident,” Sarah pleaded. Gloria stepped forward, preparing to blow holes in the lock to get them to safety, but with a final curse, the door rattled and opened outwards. A man and woman stood in the dusty light of the bar.

“Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!” Sarah said to them smiling, as the man closed and locked the door again once the family had all entered. The lady was happy, but the man was scowling at the intrusion. Kurt couldn’t blame him; they had barged in unannounced and brought even more death with them.

“Get your clothes off, quickly,” John told the wet trio, who needed help to do the task. Their fingers were numb and unresponsive to the signals their brains sent. “Do you have a fire, or any form of heat?” John looked at the man and woman who exchanged glances, bemused at the crazed stripping and activity that had replaced their peace.

“We have a log burner but we don’t use it, it will bring more of those things,” the man explained, crossing his arms defiantly.

“Listen, we know you are scared, you have every right to be. But trust me, the fire won’t cause any attention, the smoke will be blown away before anything can see it,” John explained. The surly man just stared back, unhappy at the unintended insult.
