The Diary Of The Dead

Step 15 : Bat

 This is bad . Cecil is turning . I can feel the heat as his soul and sanity leaving his body . My body starts to shake as the darkness and the growling from the Hunter surrounds me . '' Hey .. '' Cecil whispered and look at me . My god his eyes redden and starting to bleed . '' It seems that I cut off my hand for no reason ehh ? '' He tried to laugh but his cough cut away the sound . He spit out blood . He coughed out blood . I just stand there watching his final hour . I move closer to him , putting my hand on his forehead . '' You better not bite me when you turned '' I tried to break this horrible moment . He let out a small laugh . '' Can't promise you that, I skipped breakfast today. '' He chuckled and grabbed my hand . '' Listen , I got a plan .. '' He whispers. He points me to the closest stairs, ''I need you to bait that thing away from me so that I can carry out the plan, can you do that?'' I nodded. ''Just tell me..'' He hushed me. ''Listen.'' He continues. He tried to sit up but fail miserably. ''Stand there.'' He point me to the corner of the door. ''Now be a good leader and ready to attack alright?'' He whispers. I don't even have the slightest clue of what is he planning to do. 

 He pulled out a note, basically his diary I think. I kept on guard at the door. Preparing for any kind of assault from that thing. Cecil starts to write. ''Is this really a good time?'' I whispered with my hand pointing outside. ''Let me draw us a plan Leader.'' He smiled and bow. Pfft. If I die tonight, it's because of you writing a diary Cecil. 

''Hey, you remember the first time we met?'' He breaks the silence with a very weird question. I looked at him, ''Yeah, you being a big pussy. Crying to be placed somewhere else. boo hooo.'' He giggled. ''That's not me ooo wise leader. That must be someone related to you because you cried out there. When the fog hit you.'' The atmosphere became dense. The air became heavy. The growl has stopped for a while now. ''I saw Jack, Cecil.'' I froze. ''It's like, he needs help.'' I continues. He pressed on his wound and uses all his energy to sit up. ''Look, this is my last advice on you.'' He look me in the eye. ''The future, its more important than the past. You can't change the past, but you can change the future. I want you to take my Note.'' He hand it to me. 

''Why?'' I asked. He smiled. ''I draw a plan to you right? Its the plan for this building. But it's too dark here'' I showed him my flashlight. ''Dont! That thing is very sensitive to light. Listen leader, I've been scanning this building, memorizing every corner from the moment we stepped in this building. You see that stairs, the moment you reach it, slide down the hand rail to the ground floor. Remember, Slide down. After you reach the ground floor. Take the first left door you encounter and run straight the hallway. There might be those flesh eating shit but you got it right? Moving on, at the end of the doorway, there will be a door. Enter it and find a place to hide, and open the note and came back to me alright?'' He stopped. ''Can't you tell me now?'' His eye look around, carefully scanning the place. ''It's near, ready leader.'' What? My heart suddenly starts to pump more blood.

''Hey..'' He said. I looked back. ''Thank you for everything'' He smiled. 

PRANG PRANG PRANG PRANG PRANG 

Cecil starts to shout while shattering the glass and switch on his flashlight. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! 

A heavy screech pinned me down! A big mass of body flew inside, I tried to look, but it's too noisy my eardrums are about to burst. 'GO!' I heard a slow voice. I caught a glimpse of Cecil as his head were slashed off his neck. I ran toward the stairs, slide down to the ground floor. Dash through the first left door and killed everything that stood in my way. The door in the end of the hallway leads to the exit of the building. The dead that were outside rushed to me and my team were able to finish them off. Zoan carry me to the nearest safezone while Tom and Gunther escort us. My vision got blurry and without realizing it. I passed out. 

I woke up in the morning laying on the medical bed. Tom, Gunther and Zoan was here beside me. ''Captain..'' their frown explains everything. Cecil is dead. Because of me. ''I think Cecil want you to have this Captain.'' Zoan speaks softly. I took the note from Zoan's hand and read it. ''Slowly captain.'' Gunther helped me to sit up. I read the note. Cecil amazes me even after he is dead. The note states every type of zombies he encounters. He recorded it with every details on how they move and how they hunt. It also states on what is its advantages and how to kill it. 

My eyes tears up as I move along the notes and as I reach to the end of record. There's a note. 

'' Captain Lily, Clown Tom, Gorilla Zoan, and Crazy Gunther. I'm sorry. This is the end for me. Hey efff you guys if you cry for me. Laugh like we always did. And Captain, I hope this note will help you and the team to survive. Look Captain, I got one last request. Can you fill in the notes after this? And for the rest of the team, help the Captain. Stick together. Like we all used to. - Cecil

p/s: I got a name for this shit that killed me.
