Hello Readers! What's up all of my friends? I hope you enjoyed the last chapter as much as I did. Now, I know I was totally supposed to upload a chapter before the end, but I ended up not being able to finish it, so here's one to tide you over until then.

Chapter 17: Vengeance

Originally, his reason for killing zombies had only been for vengeance.

He had wanted to make them pay for taking away the one thing he had loved most in the world, his son.

His son, whom with his bright blond hair and blue eyes was almost a mirror image of when he was a kid. His son, who would now miss out on many of the great pleasures life had to offer because his ex-wife had gotten bitten and when she changed… well she was now literally a man-eater.

A part of him still felt a deep sorry when he thought about how his kid would never get that childish crush in elementary. He would never combat teenage hormones or have a passion for what he wanted to be. That he would never find that someone or get married.

All of it made him angry beyond belief. So, originally, his reason for killing zombies had only been for vengeance for his son.

Until he had met that stupid, idiotic, neurotic, cute, irritating, and phobic-induced little spit-fuck.

He had, at first, thought that the boy was more like a puppy than anything else. They had a "father and really distant son relationship" at the beginning, until they met Bichita and Little Rock. It was then that he noticed that his relationship with the younger of the two siblings was more fatherly and his relationship with the college student was different. Way different.

"Mother and father" was how Little Rock had called them on more than one occasion. One, probably him, always gearing for a fight and teaching things to her. The other, telling her about safety and educating her on things about the old world.

It hadn't been till a zombie attack had come too close to taking the younger male's life that he realized what their relationship really was.

Now, his original reason for killing zombies, which had only been for vengeance, was quite different. It was now for protection of his fuckable, neurotic, adorable, frustrating, and phobic-induced little spit-fuck, Columbus.

I hope you all enjoyed that little drabbleish one. I will hopefully be finishing the one I was working on over spring break this week and then present it to you fine people!

~Peace, Love, Stoli, and La Vie Boheme!
