I'm Not Ready to Die

Chapter Seven: Hit The Lights Disclaimer: I don't own Left 4 Dead, Sentients, Cherrygrove, or Regenerators/ Iron maidens.

(A/N) Also I wanted to say that the "Real" zombies are only found in graveyards, Iron Maidens are found in sewers, garbage dumps and abandoned factories; and Regenerators can be found in any dark place, out of sight so that they can ambush survivors.

The next morning I woke up and went down stairs in the safe house. There was no food prepared, but everyone was up.

"Do we have any food?" I asked

"Got four granola bars." Said Dylan flatly

"Well I guess that'll have to do." Said Dom. We grabbed a granola bar and ate it. Then we left the safe house and continued our journey to Cherrygrove.

We had only a few towns left to go through before we reached Cherrygrove, but one main obstacle stood in our way. It was an abandoned factory. It had a safe room in it though. This safe room really freaked me out because of all the things that people had written on the wall. Most of the writers were likely dead though. The one that disturbed me the most was one that read 'Last one out hit the lights.'

"Guys you see this here." I said pointing to the writing.

"Yeah what about it?" said Amanda

"This means that we'll be traveling through the dark of this factory, and you know what now lurks in the dark." I said. Then everyone had a worried expression on their face.

"Regenerators." Said Dom

"All right so here's the plan, we move though the factory quickly and quietly, don't get separated." I said as I opened the safe room door. As soon as I stepped out I heard the heavy breathing of the Regenerators.

"Lights on" I whispered

We walked on and soon found a set of stairs leading up to the higher levels. Then I heard the heavy breathing really close. I motioned for everyone to hold up, pulled out my Magnum and slowly rounded the corner. I saw the Regenerator; it had its back to me. I aimed my Magnum at his head and fired blowing his head off and then unloading the rest of the bullets in my Magnum at the Regenerator. Then I got an idea;

"Dylan give me you Molotov." I said. He handed the Molotov to me. I pulled out my lighter and lit the fuel soaked towel hanging out of the bottle and threw it at the Regenerator. To my surprise the Molotov killed him. So fire did a lot of damage to them.

I motioned for everyone to follow and we went into the next room. We entered the next room. It was small; the only thing I found of interest was a case on a desk. I opened it and found an; Thermal Scope for a rifle? Weird. I handed the scope to Amanda since she had the sniper rifle.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" she asked me

"Put it on your rifle." I said. "Wait a minute, maybe that'll show if the Regenerators have any weak points.

Then I heard another Regenerator coming. The heavy breathing got louder and louder until it came around the corner.

Amanda looked at the regenerator and saw four hotspots on the regenerator and shot them. The Regenerator then just blew up.

"Found a better way to kill those things." Said Amanda.

"Thank you god for this thermal scope." I said "Well this should make it easier for us to get though here."

I finally found a light switch and switched it on.

"Finally light!" said Dylan

"O wow the exits over there on the other side of that room." I said pointing to a room that had a huge horde of common infected in it.

"Well this is just great!" said Dom

"Well luck for you guys I made another talking grenade." I said with a smirk

As soon as we entered the room a pulled the pin and through the grenade and once again you heard, 'HEY ZOMBIES I'M A TALKING GRENADE COME OVER HERE BECAUSE I'M LOUD!' BOOM!

"YOU ARE DEAD… NO BIG SURPRISE!" I said to the now dead giant horde of infected. "Let's go" I said. Then we left the factory. On the other side of the factory was a view of the next town we would have to pass though… Westville.

"It's going to feel good to be back home" I said.

We found another safe room, that did not have any clues leading to immediate death, and settled in for the night.
