Yo I'd just like to say thanks for the encouragement and letting me know my mistakes. Also sorry that this chapter is shorter than the others.
I don't own Left 4 Dead or Valve. Because if I did I'd be playing Portal 3 and Left 4 Dead 3 right now.
Dawn's P.O.V.
I can't stop my tears from escaping anymore. I ran all the way to a road filled with cars and trunks and common infected just roaming around lifelessly. I just wanted to be alone so I rushed to a RV and hid inside. It was an okay place but whoever owned it was in a hurry. Cloths, weapons, and food were just lying around. The common didn't bother me but rather avoided me entirely, but I didn't care I wanted to be alone. But I couldn't not escape my thoughts.
Over and over I got this urge. I wanted to eat something. I needed to eat something. I quickly ate whatever food I could find in the RV. Most of it was really old but I didn't care, I had to stop my hunger. It didn't help I was still hungry. Why was this happening now, I've never felt like this before, was it because of that fat one, the boomer, is it because of his disgustingly smelling puke that I fell like this. I walked back to the bed in back and sat down on it. What if I'm different now, like the others out there. Will I lose my mind and become like them. I wish I was human again like Jay and the others. I looked outside a window and saw that the sun was starting to set.
What do I do now? I sat down on the bed and looked at my claws. My long, razor sharp, bloody claws. The claws that I defended myself with for so long. Now I'd give anything to get rid of them. Too be normal again and not a. Monster. And with that I cried like I always do. I hugged my knees and cried loudly. So loudly that I didn't hear the door open; but I heard the growl.
I looked up to see a hunter crawled into the RV and is staring at me. I don't know what he wants be I'm in no mood to care. I growl at him as a warning for him to leave or die. He doesn't move an inch or even make a sound. Either he is incredibly brave or really dumb to hold his ground. I stand up and flash my claws at him, showing him how outmatched he is, but he only slightly backs up to the door before he growls at me. Is he really challenging me? To answer my question he swipes a clawed hand at the air. That's it! You are so dead! I rush towards the soon-to-be dead hunter, but he jumps outside. Oh no you don't, you are not getting off that easy! I don't know why I feel this upset but I don't care as I chase him outside. I look around but I don't see him, just a couple of common wandering around and the night sky, but I can still smell him. I turn around to go back in the RV when I hear a scream.
RHHAAAAAAAAAR
Before I can turn around I hit the ground hard. Then I feel his claws tearing into my back and I cry out in pain. He slashed through my shirt and he is scratching me so quick I can barely register the pain. Then he stops and holds down my arms and bites into my shoulder. Again I cry out and try to knock him off me but he has me pinned and I can't do anything but scream as my blood starts to pool around me. Then I hear a collection of footsteps, screams of the common and gunshots. Then the hunter lets go of me and jumps off towards the noise. I slowly push myself off the ground because of the pain and look to the source of the noise.
It's Jay there with blood and cuts all over his cloths and some on his body. I shift my gaze lower and behind him to see the hunter and common all dead on the ground. "Dawn oh my god Dawn!" He ran over to me and knelt down next to me. "Are you ok? I heard screams and a hunter and then saw you. Hold on I'll get you patched up." He put one arm under my legs and another behind my back and lifted me up.
Why is he here? I ran away to save him from me? As he brought us to the RV I tried to get out of his hold, and away from Jay, but my body won't listen to me. Because of that hunter I don't have to strength to stand, let alone escape. So I have no choose but to hope I can control myself.
"Okay I'll lay you down so I can check your wounds." He put me on my stomach and when to secure the door. No don't stay here! I don't want to hurt you please! I screamed in my mind and tried to speak, to warn him, but he must have assumed I was trying to get his attend because he came back with a red box with a white plus on it, in his hands. "Okay Dawn this is a first aid kit." He opened it up and showed me a bottle of some clear water. "This is alcohol, it not for drinking but for cleaning injures, but it will sting for a bit so please bare with me." And with that he removed what was left of my shirt and poured the alcohol on my back. I screamed out from the stinging burning feeling and scratched the bed so that I wouldn't accidently cut Jay. Then he used a rag to wipe it away. "I'm sorry Dawn but I need to do this if I'm going to help you." I don't know how long this when on for but eventually I he stopped. "Okay the hard part is done now I got to bandage you up." He took out a roll of white tape and turned to me. "Now I'll need you to sit up so I can get it around you." I pushed myself off the bed and turned with my back to him. I'm already fighting hard not to give in to my urges and eat him. I know that looking at him will just make it harder. We sit in silence as he wraps the tape around my chest but that all changes when his hand brushes my breast and I moan a little. "Sorry I didn't mean to do that Dawn."
What was that feeling just now? It was like when I first ate the ice cream and when I slept near Jay, but more intense. After awhile he was done and walked over to his bag. "Well now that that's done we can talk about what happened to you." Jay says as he comes back with a shirt. "Sorry I don't have any women's clothes for you but I think this t-shirt will fit you." After I cut across the middle of the shirt I get it on and Jay sits down and looks at me and starts talking about what happened after I left. How Jacky died, how they found the place they were looking for, how he came out here to find me and get back to the others and call for a rescue, and how he figured out why I ran.
"So do you understand Dawn? We need to get back to the others now or they will leave us." I nodded. "Okay, then let's go Dawn." I shook my head. "Dawn I know you won't hurt me or the others the fact that you ran back then and that we been here for about an hour shows me that you got control over this thing."
Was he right, since I saw him I haven't felt that urge? I looked at him and he smiled at me.
"I trust you Dawn."
Jay's P.O.V.
"Why did you bring that thing back with you?" Frank angrily asked and I expected him to anyways. It didn't take long for Dawn and I to get back to the cabin, with her with me the infected didn't stay a chance but Frank was different from the Infected. He has more anger.
"I told you I was going to find her and I did." And with that I ignored him and turned to Sam "So now we're ready to get out of here right?" I was sitting on a chair with Alice and Dawn seated on a couch, Frank kept watch through the cracks in the boarded up windows and Sam was sitting at the table with the radio on it.
"Yeah I got it working while you were out. Now we just need to call and hope they pick up." Sam started flipping switches and turning dials and I few minutes we all heard a voice that filled us with joy.
"Hello. Is anyone out there? This is the U.S. military if anyone is there please respond." The voice sounded like it belonged to an old man like Sam but older.
"Oh my god it works." Sam handed me the mic and I didn't waste any more time.
"Hello we are alive and need a rescue."
"Will this is a surprise someone is still alive out there. How many are in your group and is anyone infected?" And was the question I feared would come. I turned to look at Dawn who looked nervous and a little scared. I turned back to the radio, took a deep breath and said the only thing I could say. Let's hope this works out.
"There are five of us. One child, two teens, and two adults. And only one infected." The man got silent and I thought I might have screwed up but then he spoke again.
"How long ago were they bit and how bad is it son?"
"Well she's already a witch but she isn't like the others. She is docile and not a threat to anyone I can promise you that." Once again the man fell silent and once again I thought that I messed up but he quickly responded.
"We got your signal and got a chopper in your area. It's just 20 minutes out just hang on till then. And be prepared to fight because it's gonna get real loud and try to keep that witch alive to."
"Thank you so much sir and her name is Dawn and mine is Jay."
"The names not sir it's Bill. And just stay alive till we meet in person Jay." And with that the radio cut off. I turned to the group to see that everyone was ready and I was to.
Finally we are at the end and I got good news and bad news. The bad news is that I can't decide how to end this story. With so many different ways to do too. But the good news is that you guys and gals can choose how I end it. Depending on which type of ending wins I may do a sequel in the future.
tragic ending
happy ending
joke ending
lovely ending
