Delilah's Adventures

Chapter VII

I sighed softly and wiped my forehead. I made a little area to do a cremation without everyone else knowing. I was going to cremate Bill's body so they could keep him with them when we move. I found three little glass bottles with corts and I connected the glass bottles to necklaces. I know they probably aren't going to wear them but I know they are going to keep them in their pockets. "Hey what are you doing?" I heard a voice say.

I looked around and saw nothing. "Bill if this is your spirit, hey I'm making an area to cremate your body so your friends still have you with them. They miss you a lot." I said softly. Great now it seems like I'm crazy. "I... Thank you... I know that those three miss me a lot. I hope they are doing fine. How's Zoey doing? She's the one that I worried about the most."

"Zoey is doing fine. Why are you so worried about her compared to the others?" I asked looking towards where the voice was coming from. "Because she lost for mom and dad on the same day. You see an infected came into their house and turned her mom. Before her mom was killed by her dad, she badly injured him and he was immune. So their death was the worse thing that could happen to that girl. Hey are you crying?" He asked me after noticing the tears going down my face.

"Y-yeah, just thinking about my past. I lost my parents kinda in a similar way. Only difference is they were gun down trying to protect me. I was a about 5 at the time and my mom, dad and I were all in a military compound and one of the military guys threatened to kill me because I look like an infected. My mom and dad didn't want that so they snuck me out of the compound. Shortly after they did, I saw bullets fly into them. My mom told me to run which I did. It was just so hard for me those first few days. I had to be careful of any special ingected." I explained to Bill. I know if he could cry and hug me, he would do so.

"I'm so sorry that, that happened to you. But I know it must have been hard for you. I know I can't relate to what happened to you or Zoey, but I can tell you that I am sorry that it happened and I how life gets better for you." Bill said. I knew he had a small smile on her ghostly face. "Thanks Bill... I should get back to work." I said looking towards his body.

"Alright, just be careful now. Good luck, and tell Zoey that I'm watching over her and the rest of the gang." He said with that small smile. I nodded. "Don't worry, I will." I said going back to work.
