With Orson added to the deaths that have come since she got here this leaves Maria who still hates her, Igor who could be a great comedian, Smith who's been helping her learn Russian so she can have a conversation with the others without him, Maeve a woman who came back the camp a few days after Natalia got there and finally, a man who Natalia calls Michigan because its the only thing he answers to but never talks to anyone besides a supposed skull of his boyfriend. Smith had Natalia and Michigan go to the factory district and see if they can find anything or anyone, confirms that Orson is dead./p

Along with that, the whole group thinks he has some military or fighting background based on his build and preference for his fists over a gun. Once at the coast Michigan started to make his way to a boat that was crashed onto the coastline that looked like it had been on the island for a long time," Do you think Orson found this?'' Natalia asked knowing no answer would come back to her. The boat had looked as it had been here for a long time due to the amounts of rust and the paint was mostly all chipped off, and the growing algae on the boat. Inside of the boat was mostly bare except with the growing algae and mold on the walls on the mud underneath them there were some papers, Natalia tried to get one out of the mud but only the corner came off. Michigan rested his hand on Natalias shoulder and nodded his head left indicating they should move to the rear of the boat. Both started to make their way to the edge but a collapsed wall stopped them, Michigan started to lift the fallen wall so Natalia could get through. Once on the other side Michigan had started to leave the boat, looking around Natalia noticed the back half was mostly underwater, once Michigan came up from the water they continued to look around and in a room mostly untouched. Behind the desk which has fallen to the left side of the boat, was Orson who was dead, Michigan quickly covered Natalias eyes but it was too late she had already seen Orson's body. Michigan destroyed a window in the office area so Natalia didn't have to go back through the fallen wall and he didn't have to lift all the collapsed metal again. Once Natalia left the boat falling into the freezing water surrounding the island she made her way to shore to wait for Michigan, on their way back Michigan gave Natalia his jacket after he shook it in an attempt to get water out of it even though it wouldn't give her any heat. The two only made it about a third of a mile(1,760 ft) before infected came out seeing as it was way more than Michigan could handle on his own since Natalia had no combat experience or was trained in anything she could use to protect herself with. Almost leaving the area but more infected showed up making escape more impossible without being detected, Michigan tapped Natalia's shoulder and pointed behind them, then a mobile cart in front of them, then the infected Natalia guessed that since no infected where behind them they would push the cart to divert the infected attention away from the exit and they could make it out unharmed. Natalia nodded and then they started to push the cart taking quick cover behind a car flipped on its side the infected ran to the cart giving Natalia and Michigan enough time to get out through a hole covered by a wooded panel. After making it almost all the way back Mighigan stopped, Natalia also stopped," What's wrong?'' Michigan started to turn around as he knelt down to Natalias level his eyes softened," I want you to go back without me, kid you understand that?'' Natalia was completely confused 1) Michigan talked, 2)why would he want to go alone?"I'm gonna give you guys a fighting chance against those zombies,-" Michigan reached over into a nearby bush and pulled out a stuffed bear,"- I heard you tell Smith your birthday is in June so I was waiting to give you this around when your birthday should be, goodbye kid." Michigan stood back up and went back to the factory area, soon he disappeared. Once Natalia got to the hideout it was destroyed, even more than before looking around a little Natalia found Igor," No, No, No, No Igor wake up please."Natalia said trying to wake him up but it was too late for him, losing 3 people in one day Natalia hoped that Maria, Smith, and Maeve were still alive. Natalia found Maria still alive but barely hanging on to life," H...He...hey, Nat,-" Maria said as Natalia came over to her bloody body,-" S...Sta...Stay...St...Stro...Strong."Maria said to the little girl and that was her last words but now the 5th person Natalia had lost that day. There was growling from the back, it as Smith now a zombie knowing that Smith would want her to Natalia grabbed his gun knowing the basics on how to operate it Natalia raised the weapon to Smith and pulled, the trigger unknown to her Maeve saw her do it," You-You them all, you're a monster." As Maeve said those words witch would never allow her to cope with the grief on her shoulders now. All Natalia could do was run she ran out of the hideout and made her way to the tower at the center of the island. Maeve go caught in an infected storm when Natalia saw her fighting for her life, part of her wanted to laugh a little and half wanted to help her instead of acting on one of the two voices in her head Natalia turned her back and made her way to the tower. /p
