Zak POV

I opened my eyes. My head was pounding. Not to mention my whole body hurt and was sore.

I felt chills start in my toes and go up throughout my body. But they didn't go away.

My stomach growled and I knew I needed to eat.

I was in a room with five people. Two were right next to me. Both with brown hair and glasses but one had stunning green eyes while the other and warm brown ones. The three others stood back. One with black hair and a bandanna tied around his head. Another with a blue shirt and black and white goggles on top of his head. The last one with dirty blond hair and a mask perched at the top of his face. He wore a bright green hoodie.

The man with green eyes looked hopefully into mine. His eyes were red and puffy with tears.

'who are you?' is what I tried to say, but it came out as more of a, "Hrrghh aaaannggg oooouuuhhh."

The man's face fell. "No...."

Everyone else in the room suddenly grabbed their weapons.

"Darryl move out of the way before he attacks!" Mask man said.

"Why hasn't he? Mega and Karl did." Asked the man with brown eyes and a cape that I suddenly noticed. His accent sounded like something european. Maybe french.

The green eyed man now identified as Darryl moved back. His hopeful look returned. "Maybe it's because he's still coherent! Zak if you can understand me, show us!"

When nobody else in the room responded I figured that meant it was me.

I slowly tried to stand up. My legs were shaky, but I managed.

Everyone stumbled back, thinking of it as a sign of attack.

One of them aimed the gun at me but Darryl stepped between them and me. "No! Don't kill him please. You know I still love him. Just let him out."

The Bandana man sighed and walked over to me cautiously. He shoved my jaw upward and tied a piece of cloth- thanks to mask man giving it to him -around my mouth.

He brought me down the hallway and a set of stairs and opened a door. Shoving me outside.

I hit the ground hard and it scraped up my skin but I got up quickly.

I untied the gag in my mouth and decided to explore.

From what I had understood, I was now a Zombie that somehow became coherent enough to not kill or attack any of them. The Darryl dude had a strong emotional connection to me, either a lover, crush, or really close friend. Maybe all of the above. And that Bandana Man didn't like me. Maybe because I was a Zombie or maybe because he just didn't like me. I wasn't sure.

As the weeks passed, I got to know the town better. As well as get memories and emotions toward people back.

I could now tell that Cape man's name was Vincent and see used to be good friends. Mask man was Clay and we weren't too close but we were still friends. Same with Goggles and Bandana man, who were called George and Nick.

And Darryl... I could tell my feelings for him were complicated. I knew I had loved him, and still do, at least I think... But I don't think I had realized it at the time.

I was also getting better at speaking. I could now say words, and sometimes even phrases.

I watched my old friends and helped them in any way I could. Either by leaving some supplies I found or even by clearing out the streets whenever someone went out on a supply run.
