He closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep, zombies don't have the ability to sleep, so why can he?

"EOWYN! EOWYN!" A girl yelled, who was she? Eowyn was his name?
He looked around and saw a whole town was on fire, people ran away from zombies and some got tackled and bitten. "COME!" the girl yelled as she ran further away from him. Eowyn tried chasing after her. "HELP ME! I DON'T KNOW YOU!" He couldn't catch up with her but she was further away.
She turned around, her short hair flowing. It was muddy now, blood gushed out of her neck. "Why did you leave me behind? I loved you." She somehow came closer within a blink of an eye. "I protected you, Eowyn. And now you're one of them…" the girl smiled, Eowyn panicked and looked around; he saw more people, they were laughing at him; same with the girl. "YOU'RE PATHETIC! PATHETIC!"
Eowyn fell to the ground and grabbed his head, tears dribbled down his face. "STOP PLEASE! STOP IT!" The laughing echoed through his ears.

Lizzie woke Eowyn up, he jumped up and twitched a bit. "You were moving a lot in your sleep, nightmare?"
Was that a nightmare? It was scary. Eowyn nodded. Lizzie smiled and patted him on the head gently. "There, there. I get them all the time as well." She smiled. "Look up at the stars! They will make all of the dreams better!" She jumped up and stared into the sky in amazement. He now knew his name was Eowyn. "It's beautiful! Isn't it?"
Eowyn looked up and stared into the starry night, it was indeed beautiful; one of the most beautiful things he has seen, though he couldn't remember the other beautiful moments he could have had. "You really like it?" Lizzie looked at him, Eowyn just stayed silent and stared into the sky, the clouds were gone and it showed a blank dark sky with tons of glowing lights. Eowyn nodded in response, Lizzie smiled and walked off. "See ya in the morning." She turned to look at him. "New friend."
•••
Eowyn groggily dragged his hand into the dirt to spell the word love, that word has been bugging him since the nightmare happened. Who loved him? They hated him for sure, due to the distastefulness he heard coming from their voice, then the other voices. Who were they?
His mind went overboard, he felt overwhelmed with this nightmare of his. It was morning now and Lizzie approached him. "Morning friend!" She smiled. Carol and Randall rested a hand on Lizzie. "Go with Dutch for a bit. He is going to teach you how to sharpen a blade." Carol smiled, Lizzie nodded and ran off to find Dutch.
"I see you haven't done anything except for writing love in dirt?" Randall examined it, he nodded in response. "This zombie still has a memory.. sort of." Carol smiled, Randall untied him but refused to take the mask off. "This is in case you go feral on us." He smiled and looked at the group. "Amy, Jimmy, let's help this boy remember the necessities to remain human." A girl with a black eyepatch on her left eye gazed at him. "Sure, sure. JimJim. You go first, I don't want that thing scratching me." Jimmy nodded and walked over to Eowyn, analysing him.
Eowyn looked at Jimmy and groggily waved. "Alright! Let's teach him!"
Hudson and Chloe reached the campsite, the gates opened and everyone greeted them with open arms. "Chloe… where are they?" Chloe looked at a man. "Jackal… Eowyn, Coco, Alex and Oliver… they are all… gone… he's gone…" Chloe teared up, she missed Eowyn the most.
Jackal's eyes widened. "Oh fuck…" he teared up, Hudson didn't say a thing and walked off. "What happened out there?" An older woman walked over. "Where's Alex… my boy?" Chloe shook her head. "All of them… there were so many of them. It was like an ambush…" the woman's eyes widened. "Get Clara inside." Hudson said coldly.
Jackal grabbed Clara gently. "We can mourn your boy later…" Clara weeped as Hudson just stared at them. "What happened to Eowyn though?" Max leaned against a car. "The fuckers caught up to us. That's what." Hudson stared at Max, he was wearing his protective goggles and his blue mohawk waved slightly due to the wind. "I see."
"That's not what you told me, asshole." Chloe stormed off. Hudson scoffed. "The fuck is her problem?" Max stared at him. "You changed old man. I don't know when but you changed, for some reason." Max spoke calmly. "Say that shit again, I dare you. I will break your jaw!"
"Hey Riley. Are you hearing this sis?" Max scoffed, Riley peeked her head up from a plane she was working on; she lowered her blowtorch. "Yeah I am. And if he does enact on violence I will tell Vally. She will know what to do with the likes of a violent person."
Max nodded. "Remember what happened to Brad. He was publicly executed for murdering Vinny. I suggest you shove your threats up your ass." He flipped him off and walked away, looking at Riley. "How is the plane going though?"
Riley had green eyes and brown messy hair protruding down her shoulders. "Give me another 500 years and I will complete this sonofabitch." She giggled.
Amy walked over. "So he doesn't bite or swing at you. He seems like another mutation." She analysed Eowyn, Eowyn looked at her. He wondered what mutation meant; he was struggling to remember everything, how did it end like this for him. Where are all his friends, he has Lizzie but what about his other friends.
A flash occurred in his mind and his head roared in pain, he clenched his head and winced. "Hey I think your undead friend here can actually feel pain!" Amy waved her hand over.
"So… tell us your name." Amy. The pain stopped and he went down on his knees and wrote Eowyn in the dirt. "So, Eowyn… this will be your first day of uh… HUMAN TRAINING?" Jimmy looked awkwardly at Amy.
"Yes. Today we will teach you most things about a human, your feelings, your everything." Amy smiled. "You are a rare breed of the dead, and I would like to learn more about you."
Eowyn stared blankly at them and nodded, writing into the dirt. 'Let's do it'
