Delilah's Adventures

Chapter XXIX

(I decided to have ever one of the main characters tell their stories to the rest of the group. Basically how this apocalypse changed them. So yes, I will be switching perspectives. This will be about 800 words for this one, hopefully I can get most of the stories done, and if I can't I'll make a part two of this chapter to get all but Delilah's story. That'll be shown in the last chapter.)

Louis's POV

"I think we should all tell our story about how the infection changed us." Ellis said as we all sat around the campfire. "I think that's a great idea Ellis." I said smiling at him. "You start Louis!" Zoey said. I looked over at her and pouted for a second, but smiled. "Alright."

"Well before the second day hit I was a Junior Systems Analyst at “Franklin Brothers” in the IT department located in Philadelphia PA. Then when it hit I was with three other survivors and we were on top of an apartment. When the infection struck PA I was honestly so shocked by it that it caused me to start thinking positive about the situation. Because let's face it, if you let negativity control you, you wouldn't make it out alive." I said looking at the fire. "Is that it?" Ellis asked. I shook my head.

"No that's not it, but that's mainly the summary." I said to him. He nodded. "Zoey's next!" Francis said earning a glare from Zoey.

Zoey's POV

"Well I guess I could start with that I used to be a college student myself. I was studying to become a film director but most of my time was spent watching horror movies. When I went down to visit my mom and dad during the infection, an infected individual came into the house and bit my mom. That in turn caused my mom to turn into an infected herself. My father had to shoot her, but he got badly injured. He was bleeding out and after he passed away I took his pistol. When I met up with Bill, Louis and Francis they become my new family. Francis was like a brother for me and Bill felt like a dad to me."

"Louis felt like a childhood friend to be honest. When Bill sacrificed himself my personality changed. I took on a leader role and more of a dominant perspective towards everyone." I said softly. Francis patted my head. "I think of you as a little sister to be honest Zoey." Francis said.

Francis's pov

"Now it's your turn tough guy." Louis said with a small giggle. I pouted at him for a second and smiled. "Okay well I guess I can tell you my story. Before the infection hit in my area I was at a bar with my lady friend and some friends telling them about how I was going to go to jail at the time, her name was Sandra, and she was wanting to get frisky with me. But then she turned into an Infected right in front of me. One of my buddies shot her and then me and two of my friends went on a killing spree towards the infected on the roof of that bar. Then after they turned into infected themselves and I had to shoot them."

"After that I met Zoey, Louis and Bill. When I met them I didn't like Louis because of his positive outlook on the situation and I didn't like Bill all that much because he was a part of the military at one point. But I looked past that and found some great friends. Sad thing is I never showed that I respected any of them. I mostly showed the fact that I complained about everything. Zoey would mock me whenever I picked up a shotgun and said 'groovy'. After Bill's passing I grow to be more positive and more caring towards my friends. Especially Louis since he was badly injured at the time." I said softly.

"Aww you're just a big softy under that cold exterior." Rochelle said kissing my cheek. I smiled at her. "I'm glad you love us Francis because you're stuck with us." Louis said with a chuckle. I chuckled at that.

"I did learn to love ya all. Even Mr. Coronal Sanders over here." I said pointing at Nick. "Shut it before I punch you." Nick said. Delilah hit him in the chest. "Sorry Del." He said before looking down.

I've never seen him show a side like that. It surprises me that he obeys her like that. Then again I obey Rochelle pretty quickly like that. I can't help it, something about her just kills my tough guy look and makes me like a mama's boy. Which I was like that when I was little.
