Chapter Text
In his defense the first time Billy lost his head he hadn’t expected Winifred to charge at him on her mop broom. He also had never been decapitated while alive or undead, so when his head went flying off his body, he may have forgotten he wouldn’t die.
He didn’t even try to call out to his body, which was now crawling around mindless trying to find its head. He had landed face down, in the dirt, so couldn’t even see his body getting closer.
He made a type of muffled groaning sound, while he didn’t need to breathe anymore, not being able to still didn’t feel nice. He just wanted his body to hurry up and find him so he was no longer decapitated!
What he didn’t expect was Dani to crawl out of his salt surrounded grave to go and grab his head. She just couldn’t take watching Billy stumble around trying to find his head.
Hell, he wanted to scream when Dani picked up his head, it was an odd sensation, one he hoped to never experience again.
“Uh…here Billy I think you dropped this” Dani told her, handing his body his head
“Uh huh” Billy agreed, taking his head from Dani and attempted to reattach it
He got his head to stick just in time to see Winifred driving down to try and grab Dani. Billy quickly, well as quickly as a Zombie could, yanked Dani away and led her back to his grave.
He could hear Winifred, Sarah, and Mary soaring above them and attempted to run faster. His damned decomposing legs couldn’t move any faster and it didn’t help you couldn’t move in a straight line anymore.
He all but shove Dani into the forest, hoping the thick forest would deter the three witches from driving down to try and scoop one of them up.
When they finally got back to his grave he saw Allison, Binx, and Max leaning over his grave as if Dani would magically reappear. All of them started panicking while wondering where the little girl could have gone.
“Binx!” Dani cried while pulling away from Billy, her cry gathering the attention of the cat, and teenagers
They tried to run towards them but Billy didn’t let them, once again all but shoving the four of them this time into his grave before jumping in himself.
“Art thou okay?” Billy asked
Max and Dani shared a look with one another, not sure what Billy was trying to ask them. Thankfully Allison seemingly did understand what he was asking them.
“We’re fine, they didn’t hurt us. Where did they go anyway?” Allison asked
“They chased after Dani when she went to get Billy’s head, they won’t stay away long” Binx explained
“Wait … when what happened? ” Max asked, unsure if he had heard Binx correctly
“She knocked off me head” Billy grumbled
Max snorted and Allison tried her best to hide her smile. No one could tell at first if this was an in shocked kind of laughter or if it was actually funny. After a while though everyone, even Binx, seemed to realize how completely absurd the situation was. While said situation was mildly embarrassing for Billy, he was glad they felt safe enough to laugh at the moment.
Until Winifred, Sarah, and Mary found their way back to them, Billy was content to sit in his grave with the four of them, laughing along with them.
