Chapter Pezzie
 Pezzie was proud of her speech , people seemed motivated  , they were going to the city to fight tomorrow  was the day  when we would solve it all , not only them but the  military town . The presence  of the member of zombieland would have been helpful  but she was hopeful . She knew the number of zombie were a problem  , but thanks to the sarge she had a clear description  of the alpha , Pezzie had device a new plan , her community  and the community  of the military  town would band together and do as much damage  as possible  . Her and another person would have a sniper  rifle and they would actually aim for the women , she had succeeded in convincing  the sarge , if they killed her the chain of command would be destroy and people would  have a better chance . The best scenario  would be to kill the women and leave , then come back and kill pack of zombie . She had notice another kind of zombie able to control other but ut was much harder she doubt they could lead a large group . Do that for a while and they  could take care of the remaining  zombie without  taking too many risks.  She still didn’t understand,  why did  the town of Justin joined them. She had been satisfied  with her speech , she had even arrange a bigger  feast for everyone  , if they didn’t make it the food would go to wasted anyways so why not .It felt weird , this might be last meal they ever shared,. ,yet same people that were almost ready to abandon  Ridgeway  were now celebrating  together  , she had wanted  the sarge to stay but he was too  busy. Everyone that night had been  going home early , belly full.The cost would be great if they survived  a lot of  the storage went in the feast . But she didn’t care , she needed everyone  to be completely  there . She went back home  to a crying Parker , he was looking   at a picture of his younger brother Ben  . The weight of being a leader was awful  , she couldn’t  be there for the one who mattered most . She felt even worst that the one that had sacrificed himself was the one other person her lover loved .  She tried to reassure him
-          I miss him too , its thanks to him that we can go in tomorrow  and have an idea at what is waiting for us. We have to honor  his memory  by making sure that no one else will die.
-          They have to die , he said , all of them , we thought we were done five-year ago but here we go again .
She didn’t know how to approach  him , she knew how he felt , she knew  from loosing someone herself , she understood  his train of thoughts but he wasn’t there that night , he didn’t see the son of Jeb lay his
Head on Jebedaiha  , he couldn’t understand . She had to make  a choice keep her promise or hurt the person she loved the most , if she was logical  she would choose Parker but her heart could choose differently .She had trouble sleeping that night , her head was in full action , the gears turning on the next day , the stress , the determination  it was chaos . When the morning came she had barely slept  ,but she didn’t felt tired her whole body was only fueled by adrenaline. She went and rang the bell alongside Parker ,the same bell  they had once use when the zombie had breached  the town , unfortunately  it took longer then planned for the volunteer  to be ready , they were late . Pezzie was hoping  that the military  camp would wait, they had too . Soon they were on the road , they went straight  for the city , thankfully  she still had one of their armored  school bus , it fitted most people ,  slow but reliable . Arrived at the city a very strange scene took place . The entrance they had planned ,had been filled with zombie some she knew , some she didn’t . Had they fought? Did zombietown choose to help them? Among  the body she also saw some people from the military  camp she recognized  the body of Simon , they had decided  not to wait after all.  She ventured in the city along her community  , there was so many dead , so much blood  flooding  on the floor  it was a warzone . She didn’t  hear any gunshot, it could have been the best move or the worst moved ,she prefered not to even assumed  . She arrived at the center of the city , she felt tears rushing down her face , she saw  how few zombies were left , maybe sixty they couldn’t  be more than seventy  , the scene was odd some people were kept in a circle of  zombies probably  left to eat after the battle had ended she knew these bodies , she had a tear and prayed that Parker couldn’t see the scene  , in the middle next to the women was Parker , younger brother Ben , there was also the sarge and she saw Neil the leader of the queen gambit. .Did she choose to surround herself with leader ? . She remembered  Rickart , she knew how hard he would be to kill .She took a closer  look at the women ,  her memories  of the women that had led them to meet Finn and Thomaz was but vague however , she somehow  looked familiar  , there was no mistaken . She was still looking very human with  a lot of similar  traits to Justin . She was the evolve one , she was her target . One easy shot could end it all , she would be the one to take it . Her eyes met the leader eyes , she realized  in horror  ,she knew her,she had seen a picture of her in the house of the man who had invited them, she was the girlfriend of his son! The moment she took to realize , was just enough for the women to growled an order for the zombie to reassembled, she heard Parker screamed  in rage when he saw Ben , people began to shoot in the direction of Ben which was a mistake as they were surronded . The sides began closing in the situation was looking horrendous  . She looked  around her , by the grace of god there was a member  of the militant  and he had a grenade on his vest she ran to it with all the courage and strength  she could gather .  She grabbed the grenade and threw it on what she considered  to be the weaker side . She got lucky and her plan work in the hole she had just freed she ran they would be better anywhere  but in the middle of zombie .
-          Quick everyone  follow me  ,she screamed
A few followed ,too few,  but a lot of them didn’t  make it , it was going bad . All hope was lost even if they now had a better position on the battlefield , they were severely  overnumbered by the enemies.  It was  the apocalypse  versus mankind and mankind was doomed . She started to hear , some guns , some zombie went down . She saw a women that she recognized  from the queen gambit  she also saw the militant  town prisoner . They were now freed , the situation had greatly  changed , Pezzie’s man got back up and shot too , the zombies were now surrounded  . It took a few seconds but all enemie were down . Everyone  was celebrating  , everyone  except Pezzie she had remembered  an order Jeb had given , tcheck the body for the smart one and so she did it once more but no women was to be found  . She told everyone  to round up the survivor  and the gun plus ammos . She went alone to hunt for the women , she had to hurry while she was still nearby , even the evolved  weren’t really fast . She ran in the only opening  the survivor  had left  oddly it  was leading to the entrance the same one they took . She followed  the road praying that she didn’t  leave the city , along the way she notice that the window to a business had been broke , it wasn’t broke the first time they took that road , there was also a lot of glass on the floor . Which meant that not a lot of people had passed  there since it was all gathered  at the same spot . She entered  the building it was hard to see as the light were off ,the more she advance the  darker it got . She heard  a thump something  had fallen , odd were it was just a zombies and the women had already left since she knew the surrounding  better . When she felt a arm tugging on her and she felt teeth entering her skin . She turned around , it was the women . She looked  at her , she looked so human , then she saw her eyes there was nothing human there . She took her handgun the same one Rickart had given her  all those years ago .
-          You have done so much wrong  , im going to enjoy doing this even if it’s the last thing I do , said Pezzie as she shot .
They had won , she wanted to go and celebrate  with her friend , make sure everyone  was okay , make sure all zombies were dead but her arm was burning she was infected . She pointed a gun  at her forehead  .
-          Here I come Jeb , grab me some ravioli  .
