It was nighttime in Rayford, the survivors had a long, hard day of killing zombies and powering up generators but at a price, one sacrificed himself, Bill, he was an old Vietnam War veteran, a teammate, a friend, but mostly a father figure, mostly to Zoey who lost her parents in the Infection when it first hit.
Louis and Francis fell asleep while Zoey kept watch in case there were hordes of zombies, but they seemed to be gone or asleep, Zoey came down from the bridge and walked around for a bit, she saw a trail of blood, some dead zombies, and a dead Special Infected zombie known as a Tank, leading to the generator room, she looked away with teary eyes but heard a cough
Zoey thought she was hearing things but went into the room anyway…and saw Bill who was barely alive…
"Bill!" Zoey cried, Bill barely looked up, smiled a bit and said" Hey kid…How are ya? I didn't think…you'd see me like this…" Zoey shushed him and said" You're gonna be ok Bill, let me heal you!" so she got out her medkit and started to heal him but he stopped her and said" Zoey…look at me…I'm too old…I've lived a long life*Cough* this zombie*cough cough* apocalypse was the worst thing that happened to the world…*Cough Cough*…but…Atleast I met some…wonderful friends…Francis…Louis…and…you…" Zoey smiled sadly at him and said" I-I could heal you! T-then we can be together again! You could help us f-fight the zombies and we could find that boat to the Florida Keys if you want-" "Zoey!*Cough*" Bill yelled weakly" I can't be rescued…" "S-sure you can! You're our leader…" Zoey said with tears streaming down her cheeks, she started to cry…
Bill wiped away her tears and said" Hey now none of that…*Cough cough cough* You gotta be strong…you gotta be the leader now… take care of Louis and Francis…keep Francis from hurting himself!" he laughed weakly making Zoey laugh a bit, she hugged him and said" I love you Bill…" Bill weakly hugged her and said" I love you too kid…if there wasn't a zombie apocalypse…I would have never met my daughter…." Zoey wept uncontrollably and hugged him tightly making Bill groan painfully
Bill stroked her cheek and said" You…should go get…some sleep…" "But what about you…?" " I've spent my…final…hours with you…I'm dying Zoey…get used to it…I'll be in a better place…but when I'm in Heaven*cough cough* I'll be thinking of you…I'll be where there's no…zombies…wars…stuff…like that…" Zoey kissed his cheek and said" I-I hope you'll be ok up there…" Bill nodded and said" I will….I'll tell your…parents you said hi…when I see them…" Bill smiled at her and said" Goodbye Zoey…be good…take…care…of…..Louis and Francis….take care of…new survivors…if there is any…goodbye…Zoey…" he closed his eyes and never woke up "Bill? Bill?! Bill!" Zoey hugged his corpse and cried her eyes out.
It was morning and Francis found Zoey still crying on Bill's corpse, Francis put his hand on Zoey's shoulder and said" Hey Zoey…you know what I hate? I hate tears. Come on let's get back to Louis, you should get some sleep." Zoey nodded sadly and went with Louis, she laid down on a mattress and went to sleep. Louis looked at Francis and said" What happened to her?" Francis sighed and said" I think she said goodbye to Bill…" Louis understood and nodded sadly" Hey atleast he's in a better place" Francis nodded, they kept watch for zombies while Zoey dreamed of her and the guys together where the zombies were gone and the world was normal.
Bill was hero and he always would be…the survivors' journey ended at Rayford…but soon they would meet new survivors…a Highschool coach, a conman, an adventurous mechanic, and a T.V news producer, on their way to Rayford to get to New Orleans.
