What a way to go. Vanquished on a crumbling street in a ruined city. The cracked pavement seems like a fitting resting place, grass pushing its way up through the cracks. The only way the scene could be improved if it weren't littered with zombie corpses. When I think of the last ten minutes of my life, I realize how amazing it had been. I, a lone, fifteen year old Peashooter, took on fifty zombies, sure I eventually fell to their blows, but I took thirty-eight of them with me. I could feel the life slowly drain from my beaten body and I began to submit myself to to the dark.
Suddenly out of nowhere the dark void began to fill with light, I could feel life being breathed back into my body and after a few seconds, a soft, sincere voice spoke out to me.
"Please say I'm not too late." Through the pain, I managed to groan back.
"I don't think you are." With clear astonishment in her voice, she replied.
"Oh thank goodness. You know, I would call you an idiot for thinking you could take on fifty zombies by yourself, but seeing as you're injured, I'll save it for later." I was not impressed and she must have sensed it. "You fought amazingly by the way. Oh, the names Alison." Opening my eyes for the first time since being vanquished, I was shocked, the literally, hottest sunflower I had ever seen was leaning over my battered body, trying to heal it.
"Uh, umm, th-the names Pete. Has anyone told you you're hot?" Realizing what I said, I immediately felt embarrassed. Alison on the other was dying of laughter. Getting a better look at her, I realized Alison was smaller than most sunflowers I've meet. She wore a crooked pair of aviators and her petals, they're actual fire! Calming herself down, Alison began to speak.
"Yes Pete, they have." suddenly turning somber, she said. "But they're all gone now, sent far away or dead." She began to cry. Pushing through the pain, I sat up, hugged her. and said sympathetically.
"Don't be sad Alison, my entire family, friends, neighbours, all the plants I knew in my short childhood were killed during a nighttime raid we weren't prepared for...I barely escaped." Alison looked at me and sadly.
"Oh Pete, I'm really sorry." Her tone and expression showed she wasn't lying. I looked back into her eyes, well as best as I could, and said.
"It's fine, they still live in here." I pointed to my chest and continued. "And, as long as you and I, remember them here, then they never truly die." Alison began to tear up and she said.
"That really did help, thank you Pete. Look, I want you to promise me something." Looking into her eyes, I said.
"Anything" She smiled slightly and said.
"I want you to promise me, you won't die or desert me, promise me that please." I smiled weakly back and replied.
"Alison, I promise." She immediately cried in joy and hugged me.
"Thank you Pete, thank you so much." Hugging her back, I replied.
"No Alison, thank you for saving my life, without you, I would be dead." And with that, we set out into the crumbling city.
