"Keep a look out for smokers and hunters Zoey. You know how bad they go after you." The old man said then lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.

"Yeah…" Zoey fiercely responded. Then she perked up after reloading her double pistols. She had heard crying…It brought back a very bad memory...

"I let her live with you for a semester Wade. A semester and she's already dropping out." Zoey's mother looked disappointed and angry at the same time.

"Hey! I work alright. Some of us can't lie around the house all day." Zoey's father stated.

"'House'. Wade, you rent an apartment." She said correcting him.

"Oh, that's right, Carolyn. You and Kevin live in MY house."

"Oh yeah…Now it's all coming back to me.." Zoey said as she rested the side of her face on her right hand. She sighed.

"Is this funny Zoey? Do you know how expensive college is?"

"I had a scholarship Mom."

"Regardless, we sent you to Aldrich to learn how to make films." Her mother stated.

"Uh huh…" Zoey began to zone out; she didn't want to hear her mother's lecture.

" Not watch them in your father's apartment all day. Zombies and vampires and…it's trash honey."

"Maybe it's research Mom. If you believe the papers, anyway." Zoey claimed.

"Ugh. THAT. It's a flu."

"Well film degree was a gamble. We knew that goin' in. Now she can join the force like her old man." Wade said happily smiling.

"Wade, stop." Carolyn said.

"Right here guys…" Zoey muttered but they didn't listen.

"You should see her on the gun range. Knows how to hold herself in a fight, too."

"My daughter is not getting shot at by cokeheads just to keep the family business alive!" Carolyn yelled.

"..Still right here..." Zoey said again.

"You just need to apply-"Her mother started then soon a man came into the room. He had brown hair, his skin so pale like he was cement. He wore a dark grey shirt with black pants, and had blood dripping from his mouth.

"-self." Carolyn finished, but then continued again.

"Wade. Wade, there's a crazy homeless man in your living room." She stuttered and began to freak out, clinging onto her daughter.

"Stay away from him Carolyn. He's got that…that flu." He stated, and continued.

"Hey. Pal, you've gotta go."

"Raaaah!" The man yelled.

"Jesus! Wade! DO SOMETHING!" Carolyn screamed.

"Mom, get back! Mom come on!" Zoey screamed at her mother.

"Alright that's it. Last chance pal!" He yelled, but it didn't seem to affect the man.

"You hear me? I am counting to three!"

"One!"

"Two!" But it was too late when he got to three. The man had already lunged at Carolyn and bit her cheek. Wade shot the zombie and it's brains splattered all over the floor his body following it.

"Mom!" Zoey cried out holding a knife amongst all this.

"Zoey. Call 911." Wade said quietly holding Carolyn. She kept making weird noises.

" .Hck." was all Carolyn would say.

"Lyn? Sweetie, it's going to be okay. Zoey! Call 911!" Wade began screaming.

"Hkkk. Hkkkkk."

"Everything's okay baby." Wade murmured to Carolyn.

"Hkkk."

"Oh God Oh God Oh God.." Zoey kepy muttering to herself freaking out. She begun rushing to the house phone.

"Everything's ok…"

"Hkk."

"Just hang in there sweetie." Zoey began desperately dialing 911 but no one answered.

"Hkk."

"I'm right here."

"It's busy!" Zoey cried.

"Keep trying!" Wade desperately called out.

"Hk."

"I'm right here Lynnie. Just be okay."

"SS!" Carolyn clawed Wade in the face, and lunged at him.

"AAARRGH!" Wade shrieked.

"DAD!" Zoey screamed, as she seen her mother bit her father.

"Help!"

"Help me!" Wade kept crying. Zoey stood their paralyzed then the zombie- Carolyn looked at Zoey, getting off Wade. She looked back at Zoey.
"Mom?"

"Please. Please don't do this..Don't.." Zoey stuttered out.

"RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

BANG!

Wade shot Carolyn right in the back of the head before she could lunge at Zoey.

"Lynnie…" Wade started, but Zoey interrupted.

"Dad, you're going into shock. Hold on I need to stop the bleeding. I'll go get the first aid kit and-"

"Nn! Remember those zombie movies I used to sneak you into when you were a kid, Zoey? Heh. I remember how mad mom got when she found out. You remember the part in all of 'em when they had to shoot the one guy before he turned?"

"Heh," Zoey started crying and sniffled. "We always made fun of that part."

Silence…

"I love you, Zoey." He uttered. Zoey took the pistols and sobbed even more harder.

"I love you, Dad."

BLAM!

"I'll take Zoey with me. Francis, you and Louis be a look out." Bill responded. Francis made a groin. He had a beard a red one and he had a shirt with a black leather vest along with pants of course. He had tattoos all over his skin and arms.

"Oh c'mon' Francis. We just have to look out while they go take care of whoever is…in there..." Louis said. Louis was wearing what usually a casual business man would wear. A clean fresh white shirt, with a red tie, and black pants. He is fairly dark skinned.

"Ughhh I hate this." Francis responded.

"You hate everything asshole." Bill said then left with Zoey into the building of the crying "person".

"That old bastard…" Francis muttered.

(BACK TO ZOEY AND BILL!)

Zoey and Bill started to both hear the person crying more and more loudly.

"Hello?" Zoey asked. If it DID happen to be someone, maybe they could help then and try to get to the military with them...

"IS anybody there?" Zoey tried asking again. And then they saw a figure crying wearing a small shirt and some shorts.

"We can he-"Zoey started but Bill elbowed her. Lighting soon crashed and from that light Zoey saw it. It was not human. White hair, red eyes…. Sharp, long, red claws… She was one of the changes in the infection.

"It's a Witch! Lights out!" Bill angrily whispered. Zoey turned off her flashlight and they were going to discuss something quietly…

MEANWHILE…

"Hmm, what do you think of this zombie apocalypse?" Louis curiously asked.

"Well personally buddy I think it's been th-"Francis started but then they heard fast feet running and making very weird noises. Francis started shooting with a double-barrel shotgun.

"Shit…Shit!" Louis cried out and ran into the building where Zoey and Bill were….trying to deal with the Witch. (A/N: I highly suggest that you play the game to know how EXTREMELY DANGEROUS the Witch can be if you alert her. She can kill you in just a few seconds.)

"THEY'RE COMING!" Louis screamed. The Witch screamed as Louis had alerted her because of his flashlight on.

"RUN LIKE HELL!" Zoey screamed running with Bill and running out the door. Louis soon followed then, ignoring the Witch's screaming, and ran out the door closing it. The witch tried to claw through the door, but only managed to get her arm and hand through the door. Louis started shooting at her arm with the sub-machine gun and eventually he killed her.

"Agh!" Bill groined as he got his waist wrapped my the tongue of a Smoker.(A/N Again if you haven't played the game, a Smoker is an infected who takes Survivors, by their tongue and tries to infect them with their smoke…hint their name…_)

Francis shot the Smoker with on hand one the shotgun and as Bill was attacked by two infected by both his sides shot them both and smirked.

"Merry Christmas." Francis said.

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Zoey yelled and threw a pipe bomb over Bill, Francis, and Louis and over by the Common Infected. The Common Infected ran towards the red light blinking, and it started beeping, and they started clawing at the piping bomb and soon the pipe bomb exploded and killed all the Common Infected surrounding the area while the others, Zoey, Francis, Louis, and Bill had ducked somewhere else. Soon they saw a helicopter flying over them and Louis ran towards it.

"Help! We're not infected!Help!" Screamed Louis as he got out of the ally they were in and to the street. The helicopter soon went away as if it never heard Louis…which it probably didn't because it was up so high.

"Damn it!" Louis said. But what Louis didn't know was that a Hunter had been sneaking around, stalking him trying to get him alone secretly to hunt, and kill him. (A/N A Hunter is an infected that growls when it's about to attack. If you get pounced by one by a far distance, it can deal a great amount of damage and if not helped by another Survivor death can come soon for you.)

The Hunter growled….getting ready to attack, but Louis was too far to hear the warning and jumped to attack Louis. It was 100% accuracy.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Louis screamed as the Hunter started ripping him apart and tearing him up. Finally Zoey heard Louis's cries and she punched the Hunter off of him and started shooting him with the pistols and the Hunter's dead body had landed on a car with an alarm. The Survivors all gathered together to get ready to face the horde coming to attack then Louis and Bill heard a growl. The Tank came fast, really fast, that growl they had heard was what the Tank had yelled. (A/N the Tank was mutated through the Infected and its goal is to take down Survivors and make sure they don't get away. They only use brute force.)

"Run or shoot…" Louis quietly asked. But Bill kept slowly pacing back along with the rest of the Survivors.

"Run or shoot?" Louis quickly yelled.

"Both!" Bill screamed and they all started shooting the Tank with one eye, and the other eye looking at running ahead.

"Climb that stairway to that roof!" Francis quickly suggested screaming and started to climb it fast so the others could get on and started stepping up the stairwell trying to shoot the Tank to help his friends and get to the roof where he was sure there were weapons, and a health kit, which they needed for Louis. Zoey, Bill, and Louis got on the stairwell quickly while the Common Infected started running towards them and trying to climb up the stairwell but they kept failing.

"Keep going I'll hold them off!" yelled Zoey, letting Bill and Louis past her and shooting some of the Common Infected with the pistols she used. She started running up the stairwell faster to get to the roof in time and almost got there when the Tank had jumped up and grabbed the rail bending it down trying to get Zoey. Zoey lost her pistol and quickly jumped up.

"FRANCIS!" Zoey screamed as she reached out to grab his arm and he caught her by the hand just in time. The Tank had destroyed the stairwell, and it had fallen on itself, thus killing itself WITH the Common Infected.

"I gotcha' sweetheart. C'mon, now get up." Francis said pulling Zoey up to the rooftop of the building. Zoey got on the roof uninjured, but breathing deeply trying to calm herself down, making her adrenaline goes away…

"We made it…WE actually made it!"Louis exclaimed loudly.

"Kid that was just crossing the street." Bill replied then lit a cigarette and started smoking, then he continued saying after he puffed some smoke out," let's not get too excited until were out of the city..." He finished. Zoey looked down on the cement roof.

Until we get rescued? I barely got out of there alive! She thought to herself.

"I'm just saying, Zoey. You could possibly be the last woman in this country. Or whatever is left of it anyway." Bill responded and put out his cigarette.

The last way of life..? Zoey thought to herself…

"Proceed to Mercy Hospital for evacuation! I repeat, proceed to Mercy Hospital for evacuation!" They overheard the Helicopter shouting out broadcasts.

"Well then kids. We're going to Mercy Hospital. Better gear up. It's going to be a tough journey." Bill responded and got a health kit and reloaded his silenced machine-gun.

"Well I guess we're all sticking together for now." Bill said and started to speak again.

"We'll see how we get to the hospital by getting off of this roof top by what we see."

"But won't we just be going back the way w-"Louis started to ask but then Francis interrupted.

"We're going the other way dumbass." Francis said.
