Left Zoey to Survive
~Black Dragon41~
Disclaimer: I do not own Zoey, Francis, Bill, or Louis. However, I own my own fic and events that take place in this story. Valve owns everything else, sadly. Although I would like to own L4D franchise for Christmas, but that's a gift I'll never get. Oh well…. ^-^
Sum up so far: The horde has plagued the survivors for certain death by completely out numbering them in endless amounts. As the team constantly killed infected, Zoey was snagged by a smoker and hauled out into the pouring rain. This is where she struggled to breath and fight off other infected. Will she be saved? Or will she die along with her fellow survivors that are now struggling too? Read and see.
The rain beats hard against my skin as I am being dragged over the edge with the infected still clinging on to my flesh. This is it, am I going to die? I went flying over the building and landed hard against a platform below, the infected on top of me continued to bite and scratch. A shock of pain filled my body but at least I was alive. Just how long will I last now? I still can't breath, but I cannot be torn apart by this damn cannibal either. Both of my hands were clutching to the smoker's tongue, if I let go then it could snap my neck. But I have to get this bastard off me and quick. I removed one of my hands from the vile rope and punch the shit out of the biting infected. I punched it several times in the head, each punch bruised my knuckles but I was not giving up yet. The damn thing was still clutching on and ripping my skin, I can tolerate it no more! I raised my fist again and then in one hard blow, it's neck snaps. The dead thing's corpse collapses on top of me, there was one relief. Francis would be so proud, I have killed an infected with my bare hand! Then I just remembered, Francis and the others were up there screaming. The next thing that I notice, I was now being hauled up the building, the smoker is withdrawing it's disgusting tongue. Although it was having trouble, I was now hanging. Literally!
"Zoey!" Francis shouted out.
That voice, I thought that I'd never hear it again. Shit! I feel so fait, and I still can't breath! The rain had finally let up a little, just enough to get a clear view. "Fra..ncis..?" I could barely see him from the gathering mass but he was there, using his shotgun to smack away the infected. And now he's heading in my direction? Thank God!
"Zoey, prepare for a rough landing!" He then looked up and aimed his auto at the smoker. One loud shot practically blew the thing into pieces, it's intoxicating fumes had shrouded everything. I went crashing to the floor.
I landed on my back again that sent another shock of pain through my body, and I couldn't be more happier. I was in pain but free too, then again I wasn't alone either. An infected that was leaning against the wall had spotted me, it slowly pulled itself up and ran in my direction, snarling and moaning. Several more began to take chase as well, and I'm still on the floor. Shit! Quickly, I lift myself off the ground. It was then that I had noticed that standing was nearly impossible due to exhaustion. I was screwed! No weapons, no strength, how was I going to get out of here? I am far too tired to even move, I need a miracle.
"Zoey!"
He called my name again. I looked up and there he was, still shoving infected back and shooting off a couple rounds. For a moment he was free from the oncoming attacks, then he held out his one and only pistol.
"Catch darlin'!" He tossed the pistol down. I reached up and caught it, I had actually managed to get it with the little strength I had. I could of never been so happy to see a gun in my entire life. I looked back up and there he was, being surrounded and mauled by the mass again. I have to get up there and help him.
"Thanks!" I shouted, although he may of not of heard. The infected had encircled me and began to claw and bite, I put the pistol into their faces and shoot away. Each of the infected dropped quickly as I unloaded the rounds, that was until I ran out ammo. Two of them still remained, both several feet away. Apparently they had not become aware of my presence, but they'd eventually come for any of us anyway. Running away was not an option, nor was it going to help me right now! Screw this! I ran at them smacking one of them backwards, it was sent stumbling off the building to an inescapable death. Genius! Why didn't I think of that before?! I ran towards the other, it just stood there as if surprised that it was being chased at. I shove the pistol into it's chest and heave it over the edge with all of the strength that I could muster up. It was just the morale boost that I needed, and now I can help Francis. I quickly look around for any way up, and there it was. A yellow ladder that was just calling my name, welded to the wall and just a few feet away. I grabbed onto the bars and ascended with little struggle, then halfway up I hear the snarls and growls of that beast… again. Even in fear, I proceeded.
"Hunter!" I heard Louis scream, but I could not see him anywhere.
It was no doubt that the growls where from a hunter, but this is one infected that I'd defiantly prefer a witch over. As I reach the top, Francis had killed over half of the infected that had horded against him before. He still had a few to go.
"Zoey, go find Bill!" He shouted at me.
"Bill?" I looked around and I clearly couldn't see him or Louis, and there is a hunter close by. I can't leave Francis, not yet anyways. But I really needed ammo, which means I have to go back into building and find my auto. In doing so, I'd be putting everything at risk. My life, Bill's, Francis's, and Louis's. Unfortunately, it's my only choice now. I made a quick dash for the window of the structure, it would take up too much time to just run through the doors. I grabbed the window seal and threw myself in, landing on several dead bodies. It was the most disgusting site that I had to ever witness, pieces of flesh, bones, and whatever in a large pool of blood. With much repulse, I pushed the morbid corpses around where I was attacked. There it laid under a body of a woman, the barrel sticking out from under her arm. I reached for it and pull it out, the gun was drenched in blood. Sadly, there's just no time to complain now, so I shake off the wet feeling in between my fingers and leave. I quickly jump back through the window and run out in the open. And there was Francis still smacking away infected, the blunt force had seemed to have killed a few. My sights were set on him, until a large figure entered from the corner of my eye. It was a boomer!
"Bluuuggghhhh!" A boomer shot it's foul green bile at Francis, coating him in a layer of vile and nauseating vomit.
"Ah Shit! Goddamit!" Francis stumbled backwards, trying to wipe away the pugnacious and odorous puke from his vest. He should be more concerned about himself, but Francis loves his vest. Another horde massed around him again, infected attracted by the putrid smell of bile.
I ran at the boomer and shoved the auto against it, the impact sent the disgusting infected staggering backwards. I lift my rifle up and just before I pull the trigger, the boomer exploded. "Ugghhh! Yuck!" In a mist shower of blood and bile, I was covered head to toe in it. Louis stood twenty feet in front of me holding up his sub machine, it was clear that he couldn't tell that I was on the other side of the boomer and had apparently shot it.
"Oh I am so sorry Zoey," He ran towards me. "Oh God, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay! Just keep the infected away from me."
"Hey, move towards Francis! This way I can help the both of you." He shouted.
"What about Bill?"
"I don't know where he's at! The last time I saw him was at the bottom of the ramp, but he's no longer there!"
Shit! We are screwed! Then the hunter growled again, I almost forgotten about him. I smack my way closer to Francis who is overrun by infected, he continued to fend them off. I could barely see him, in being covered by the boomer bile. The rancid smell burned my nostrils, with the intoxicate fume stirring in my head. My world started to spin again until Francis grabbed my arm and pulled me over to him, we were both cornered and Bill was gone. God, will we ever escape?!
*A/N*: Getting a little out of control huh? And a with a little gore and disgusting features, how else would you picture it? Looks like things are getting a little better but not by much, thanks to Louis. Anyways, I give ThanX to my latest reviewers who kept me inspired and the ThanX goes to: Obuh deh, obuh deh, , and VastGranada. And the Biggest ThanX to , for reviewing for Left Francis to Survive.
