One Bite Is All It Takes (SBI Zombie AU)

Chapter 4- A Lonesome Traveler

Phil POV

The man sighed, readjusting his grip on his bag of supplies. He had been traveling for a while with still no sign of her. Sure, it was discouraging, but that didn't bring him anywhere close to giving up.

His hands began playing with his necklace without much thought. It was a gift, one of the last things he had of her before everything had gone to hell.

"Why are you giving this to me?" he remembered asking.

The woman smiled, looking at him with her deep brown eyes. "How else will I be with you always?"

He stared at her, his eyes full of confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Well I'm not always going to be around, so this way you'll always carry a part of me." she smiled. The necklace was a heart with wings on either side of it. It was a gift from her late mother, something she treasured very much.

"But this is-"

"It's yours now." she insisted, her eyes sparkling. "I want you to have it Phil."

Phil sighed, finally accepting the gift. "I don't know what to say."

"You better not lose it, or I'm breaking up with you." she threatened playfully.

"So our relationship is all based on a necklace?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Yup, so you better not lose it." 

He held the necklace close to his heart, like he always did. He never even took it off anymore at the risk of losing it.

He closed his eyes for a moment. He could still see her, the woman he loved so much. With her contagious laughter and gentle smile. He couldn't imagine a world without her.

A groan brought him back to reality, his eyes snapped open as he saw a zombie come rushing towards him. Without a moments hesitation, he grabbed his pistol, shooting the creature right on.

He paused, waiting for more to come. That was something he had quickly learned. If there was one, there was always more.

Suddenly he heard voices. Was he hearing things correctly? His heart raced at the chance of it being her, but he quickly realized it was two teenagers.

"Wil? You alright?"

"Y-Yeah I'm alright."

Phil moved towards the voices, hoping they were friendly. The two voices continued to talk, making it much easier to track. They seemed very young, it was a wonder how they were still alive.

Suddenly one shouted. "Techno!"

"What? What is it?" 'Techno' responded quickly.

"Someone's here."

Phil froze, quickly realizing he was in plan sight of the two teens. 

One stepped in front of the other, seemingly older. He held a crossbow, pointed directly at him. The other, slightly hid behind the other, his eyes wide with panic.

"Hello."
