What the hell? Pyro became the leader of that group? Well, given the other choices, I'm not surprised at all.
Underestimating Pyro's abilities was a mistake I made myself back when that group was made. He'd never admit it, but he had the same leadership skills as you did.
Hah! That's rich! Didn't you see how reluctant he was to become the leader? I would have assigned myself as the leader!
Yeah, yeah, we all know about your arrogance… regardless, what the hell do we do now? As far as the rest of the human population that's left alive knows, all of this was nothing more than a fake story.
Wait, you were a part of that group, and they don't believe you?
Please, like hell anyone would ever believe me, I don't act as my ten years younger self these days, unlike you.
Hey! There's nothing wrong with maintaining the same attitude of making the world better and having faith in your own abilities to do so!
God damn it… I don't know how Pyro put up with you… or why, for that matter.
Because I'm me! And there's no changing that!
Right… that's beside the point… Look, are you going to help me or what? Last thing I need is for someone to realize who I really am and pop a cap in my ass, or send me into the fucking wild with all those creatures.
Oh, I'll help, but I won't go it alone…
N-no way! You're alive! How? How did that happen?

Well here I am writing now… I don't know what to really say for myself or anyone else at this point in my life. I'm alive… I guess that's a good thing… Well, all right… here goes nothing on writing this… My name is Gabriel… but now everyone calls me angel. I was really forced into having that name, so don't think it's stupid. Well, as far as I can tell now, we're still stuck with each other… not that that's a bad thing at all. My brother was someone who I always looked up to, and he deserves it, after all, he, like everyone else, kept us alive for so long. Charmed is like an awesome older sister, she always makes sure I'm happy and smiling! Kazu is always cool, even though he can be a bit crazy. Advent is awesome! He taught me how to use guns and now I rock with them! I only wish my dad could've seen… Tezema can be really mean, but she's only out to protect us, so I'm not so worried about her. And the doctor is really nice, but he's awesome when he uses that chainsaw! I'm so glad that everyone takes care of me in this group! I was only twelve when this started, but I'm sure that now, I'll be able to live on with them forever… they're my family, and I love them all. After Kazu, Charmed, Pyro, Advent, and Tezema left, I stayed behind in the doctor's office. It was kind of weird at first, but he talked to me after they all left and said
"Angel, how are you feeling? Are you sick, or hurt anywhere?" I could only shake my head, I saw my parents die after all… and I don't know how I was still able to talk at that point. He looked at me and said "Hey! Guess what, buddy?" I looked up over at him and he pointed to a refrigerator, and he said "There's some frescolita in there, why don't you have some?" Frescolita is the best drink in the world! It's a sweet soda that makes you feel all bubbly when you drink it, and I heard you can only find it in Venezuela. It made me happy as I took it from the fridge, but it also made me cry a bit… the first person who bought me a frescolita was my mom… and my dad gave me some just yesterday… before all this… I cried as I held it in my arms.
"Mom… Dad… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry…." The doctor seemed confused and he asked me
"Hey… what's going on, buddy? It's okay, you can tell me anything…" I looked over at him and nodded
"When Pyro came to save me… and my parents… Charmed had a gun and she gave it to me… it looked like a toy… and… I shot it… it didn't hit anything, but all those… those… monsters came and…." The doctor nodded
"I see… Pyro said as much when you three showed up…" I only cried on my knees with my arms hugging the frescolita
"My mom and dad are both dead… they died because of me… if only I wasn't so stupid! They would both be alive now… and they would take care of me… and my brother… and my older sister… and I don't even know where she is… I'm so scared… I can't lose my brother… Not like I lost my parents… I… I'd rather die myself…" The doctor got up and hugged me in response
"Gabriel… what did Rodrigo tell you after your parents died?" I responded in between crying
"He said… it wasn't my fault… or Charmed's… he only blamed the one responsible for it… he also told me to shut up… and stop crying…" The doctor smiled and faced me
"Then there's nothing for you to worry about…" I looked at his eyes in confusion and he responded
"If Pyro really wanted to blame you, he would have… he would have blamed both you and Charmed for what happened… but he knew that wasn't the case… it's not the fact that Charmed gave you the gun… or that you shot it because it was a toy… it's because all this happened… I'm sure you got a good look at the streets now… I'm positive all your friends and other family members are thinking the same things you are if they lost someone due to a mistake they made. But listen to me, and promise me that you will never blame yourself for what happened. Your parents died thinking only of you and you siblings… you didn't kill them… the zombies did. And even though it doesn't mean much now… we are together as a family… all seven of us are all together… don't be sad… you are our angel, after all… Angels are strong, and always know how to make others smile… and I'm sure your parents are only wishing for their children to survive and be happy. They don't blame you, either…" I cried harder because he was right, and I hugged him close
"Mr. Sunshine…. Thank you… thank you so much…" He smiled and held me warmly
"Anytime, Angel, anytime…" we let go of each other and I opened the can of frescolita, he opened up a bottle of orange juice and said
"Cheers, Gabriel… to you not having to go to school anymore!" I laughed a bit and smiled; we clinked our two drinks together and drank them. It was the best drink I ever had in my life… Soon enough, I heard a van, and before I knew anything, it crashed into the clinic, but not in the room we were in. The doctor's eyes sharpened "Stay here…" The van didn't blow up, but it did leave a huge hole in the clinic… that's not good… The doctor grabbed his chainsaw and walked out of the room towards the van… he revved it up after ten seconds and yelled out
"YEAAAAAAAH! YOU FUCKING BITCHES ARE BACK, RIGHT! YOUR ASSES ARE MINE YOU INFECTED FUCKERS!" I heard a lot of chainsaw sounds and a lot of nasty noises, even one person who screamed out
"NO! DON'T KILL ME!" I heard the doctor respond back to the scream in English…
"SLAZING SCENTS TAINT WITH INFECTED BLOOD! THE BITE HAS SIGNED YOUR PATH OF DEATH! THE RITES OF THE SAW BEGIN!"
"NOOOOOOOO!" I heard another chainsaw sound followed by a gargled scream… I took a look outside the hallway and saw the sight… five zombies dead on the ground, and the doctor kicking the man he sawed through to remove his chainsaw from the body, he laughed as he looked up in the air
"THE SAW IS THE LAW! THE SAW IS THE LAW! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! !" he turned around and smiled as he saw me, but he also shut off his chainsaw "Sorry, he was infected… I would have liked to end it easier for him…" I nodded slowly in shock from it all and he smiled at me "Don't worry, Angel… You're safe with me around… No one will hurt you, I promise…" I nodded, he's kind of creepy… but he also just saved my life… I'm glad I can trust him…
