Chapter 7

The most Zoey did was flinch.

" Thanks. Really. " Zoey said in a sarcastic tone. She checked herself. No wound. The girl that shot her a grabbed sniper rifle.

" Damn." Was all Zoey could say. She launched herself at the girl. Several bullets were shot wildy.

Zoey sliced the barrel of the gun in half. The girl drop her "broken" gun.

" How?" The girl said worried.

" I haven't killed you yet." Zoey said. She turned back to face the others of the group.

" Like I said, I'm Ellis." The hillbilly explained. He seemed a bit dazed.

" Friends call me coach." The slightly fat man said.

" Name's Nick." The man in the suit said.

" I'm Rochelle." She seemed to have stopped trying to kill Zoey.

" Who are you?" Nick asked. The original survivors gave their introductions.

" We have to raise this bridge". Coach said.

" No shit." Francis said.

" There's a couple generators." Bill said. " I thinking the bridge'll go down if we turn them on."


"They organized into teams of three. The first three to turn the genoraters on. The last ones to operate the controls on the bridge.


"Why did we have to go to the one farthest." Coach complained.

" You know how much we had to walk back in 'Nam." Bill said. They were both the ones paired together. They both had injuries on they're legs. Bill had a knee pierced about shrapnel from a frag grenade. Coach had hurt his from Football.

" Raise a point." Coach said. " What did you do before the end of the world?"

"Fought wars. Got discharged. Life went to shit." Bill began to explain. " I was born to fight. Most of my jobs ended with a yellin' match with my boss. You?"

" Almost made it to pro football." Coach explained. " Hurt my leg and couldn't play. Got a job as a gym teacher."

They heard a loud bang. Soon infected started to pour in. Finally getting to the generator they turned it on. They then ran like hell.


"I hate walkin'." Francis complained.

" Ditto." Rochelle said. " What else to you hate?"

She could tell this would be entertaining.

" I hate cops, planes, fish, Mondays, work, mountains, the army, barns, birds, boats, bridges, car alarms, cold, doctors, elevators, lawyer-" Francis said.

"I get the picture."Rochelle said. Soon they were at the generator and turned it on. They turned on a generator first.


Nick and Louis were paired together. The two didn't say a word to each other until half-way till the generator.

" If your friend didn't have claws she would be pretty hot." Nick said.

Louis ignored this comment. In his mind he knew it was true.

He heard a slurping sound from somewhere. Louis took aim with his hunting rifle and shot the smoker. He missed. The smoker's tongue shot out and grabbed Nick. Louis took aim and hit the smoker directly in the head, killing it instantly.

" Thanks." Nick said. Louis could tell he wasn't the kind of person to like being in debt.


" Your really beautiful." Ellis said. He was in love.

" We might want to kill the infected on the other side of the bridge. Make it easier for later." Zoey suggested. He didn't seemed to want to do that. " So. How old are you."

" I'm 23." Ellis said. " You?"

" I'm 19." The rest of the time they were telling random facts about themselves.


"The bridge stopped going down." Francis said.

" No shit." Nearly everyone said in unison. Everyone had returned. Bill took a sniper rifle and looked around.

" The closest generator stopped." Bill said.

" I'll go turn it on." Zoey volunteered.


If you noticed that the going to generator scenes seem different that the meeting part, it's true. I wrote these two part more than a month apart.

I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long. I get an idea in my head and I don't update any other fanfics.

Poll: If left 4 dead 3 came out (There has been no word on whether there will be one) when would you buy it? You response? I'd wait a month and be generally excited for it.

Please review.
