Author Note: Short little epilogue. Thanks for reading and enjoy. Still don't own L4D.

Casey let out a loud groan as she opened her eyes. She tried to stretch, but let out a hiss as the movement painfully tugged at the stitches in her shoulder.

"You should probably still lay down for a while you know."

The witch turned her attention to the country boy who was packing up his back pack full of food and ammo. With another groan, the infected girl forced herself to her feet. It had been a week since the helicopter had landed close to a large cabin high up in some mountains. Casey's broken ankle had been set, but it was still too early to put much weight on it.

"Nah, I'm tired of lying around. Besides I have to see you off."

When the helicopter had first landed, Keith had carried Casey into the cabin. There Carina and had spent several hours patching up the infected girl.

Keith had spent the time digging a single grave. The next morning, they had all gathered around the grave and paid their final respects to their friend. After burying Danielle, the next few days turned into heated discussions about what should happen next.

The pilot said he wanted to leave to try and find fuel for the helicopter. Everyone knew that he was itching to get away from Casey. Her episode in the back of the helicopter had put him on edge, and he rarely spent any time in the same part of the cabin as the silver haired girl.

Carina wanted to stay at the cabin at least until Casey healed enough to move. Casey due to her injuries had to agree. Keith was torn, and eventually decided to go with the pilot stating, "I still need to find Ellis, and this way I'll make sure we stop by from time to time to drop off supplies."

So it had been decided and now Keith was walking out of the cabin towards the helicopter Casey following a little behind. The helicopter rotors began to turn and the small whine signaled that the pilot was more than ready to take off.

Carina walked around the side of the cabin and met Keith just short of the chopper.

"Take care of yourself okay."

Keith flashed a sadder version of his usual country grin and gave the college girl a strong hug. He turned and hugged Casey as well.

"Yall stay safe till I come back okay?"

Both girls nodded and then stepped away so Keith could climb in. The helicopter quickly lifted into the air and disappeared into the morning sky.

Still staring at the sky, Carina heard a few small sniffles escape her friend.

"I'm sure he'll be fine Casey."

"I know…it's just we've dealt with so much sorrow lately I can't keep the tears back as easily."

Carina wrapped an arm gently around the witch's shoulder. "You know my mom used to tell me that without sorrow we would never truly appreciate the good things that we have."

Carina turned and steered them both back towards the cabin.

"Don't worry Casey, we'll make it through the sorrow and tears. We always do don't we?"

"Yeah we always do." After a moments pause the witch perked up a little. "Now speaking of appreciating good things, let's go eat breakfast."

Casey let out a laugh and the two girls walked inside the cabin to prepare their meal.
