Alice woke in a dark room, small rays of light shining in from a source unnoticed as the brunette stirred and began to look around curious about her surroundings. Turning her head the now telekinetic woman came face to face with a young blonde. The blonde had long straight hair and was wearing a baseball cap.
"Hi." She said kindly.
"Hey." The girl said in a friendly tone.
"Is this yours?" Alice indicated the bracelet on her wrist that she was almost immediately aware of when she woke.
"I gave it to you last night. For luck." Alice noticed the girls kind smile.
"Thank you. Whats your name?" Alice sat up as she spoke.
"K-Mart... It's where they found me. Claire and the others... A few years back." K-mart smiled a little sadly.
"Do you have another name?" Alice asked with a smile.
"Never liked it. Everyone I knew was dead... so seemed like time for a change."
Alice was talking to Carlos when Claire sauntered past heading towards the gas station. With a wave to Carlos, Alice walked over to Claire and stood quietly until the red head spoke. Alice listened and honestly felt a little deflated about how the conversation went. With a sigh the brunette walked off to check the vehicles.
It isn't as if Alice craved human company, she had left Jill and Carlos, LJ and Angie for a reason, she was being tracked, she was a danger to them. But she would be lying if she said she didn't enjoy being around the living. I guess spending so much time around the dead would do that to you.
It was while Alice was passing the hummer, deep in thought, that K-mart decided to leave said hummer and swung the door open for Alice to walk into. Alice hit the door so hard and so unexpectedly that she fell back in the sand on her ass as her hand flew to her nose.
"Oh my god! Alice I am so sorry!" K-mart said hopping out of the hummer and accidentally kicking Alice.
"It's OK Kid, jees that hurts though!" Alice said as her other hand went to her rib, her nose was bleeding.
"Fuck." K-mart exclaimed seeing the blood.
"Language!" Alice reprimanded as she sat up and looked up at the girl.
"Sorry. Are you really OK? You're bleeding." K-mart said gently as she knelt down and reached towards Alice's face, her hand just hovering.
"I'm OK Really K." Alice said with a reassuring smile.
"I'm such a dumb ass." K-mart said dropping her hand.
"You just didn't see me, its OK I'll heal in no time." Alice chuckled at the dejected look on the teenagers face.
"Really, is that one of your powers?" K-marts curiosity was immediately peaked.
"Yeah. Probably the better one." Alice said standing up and leaning against the hummer.
"Let me get you something to wipe your hands off." K-mart stepped past Alice and leaned into the hummer.
Without her consent Alice's eyes dropped to the teens posterior and she took the sight in as a small smile crept unbidden to her lips. With the sight came thoughts that had blood flooding in two directions within the super-human. A groan slipped past Alice's lips and she leaned her head back against the hummer and closed her eyes.
No fucking way. Nothing for years and now i'm lusting after the teenager. My life goes from one hell to the other. Alice thought to herself as the sun beat down on her, she could hear Kmart rummaging around in the hummer and tried to steer her thoughts from the girl.
Alice was still standing there with eyes closed when Kmart stepped back and pushed the found ratty shirt into the brunettes hand. Alice felt warm fingers brush against her own and she squeezed her eyes tighter closed.
"Are you sure you are OK?" Kmart, completely unaware of Alice's line of thoughts, reached out and gently touched the brunettes bare arm.
"Fine K. Promise." Alice said a little tightly as she opened her eyes and looked at the blonde.
Alice wasn't sure what Kmart saw, but the blonde stumbled over a word she didn't quite get out, blushed and then turned and walked away leaving a very confused Alice behind. With a sigh the brunette wiped off her face and hands with the shirt, closed the hummer door and walked in the opposite direction.
Claire and Betty are both very good looking women, why did it have to be Kmart? Alice asked herself as she walked towards the old motel. I need to keep my distance from K. She went up and found the room she had woken up in that morning and laid face down in the mildew covered bed.
