Prologue

Santana's POV.

December 2009

"Santana! Santana! Mija where are you?"

"Mami! I'm here. I'm fine." I ran from across the living room into my mothers arms. Tears were flowing down her cheeks. "Where's Papi?"

"He had to leave mija. Things are getting worse and worse. Its spreading so quickly! More then half the town has been infected. We have to leave now ok?" She spoke softly into my ear. "We'll be fine. Promise."

I looked back up at her broken form. Her eye's were bloodshot and heavy, her skin sweaty and pail. I knew then she couldn't keep her promise. She had been infected. All the signs were there. But I ignored it. She'll be all right. I told myself. We'll be all right.

With one last tight hug, I ran to my room and gathered up some clothes and valuables and in minutes we were speeding down the neighbourhoods deserted streets. The sun was slowly setting and we both knew what would happen after it had gone.

"Mami? Where are we going? Why didn't you pack anything?"

I knew exactly why but I didn't want to admit it to myself. Why is this happening? Why now? Why us? Hundreds of questions were racing through my mind.

She said nothing. Her eye's locked on the road ahead of us, knuckles white from clutching the steering wheel to tight.

"We'll be fine." She said again, so quietly that I barely caught it.

20 minutes later we reached the towns pier. Hundreds of cars and people flooded the area . Women, children, the elderly, everyone from Lima was there scrabbling for safety. A large ferry was stationed at the far end of the dock boarding people in small quantities.

"We are only taking woman and children! Everyone else move away from the gates!" Shouted a voice from the front of the crowed.

"Come on mami. We're almost there." I shouted to my mother who was struggling to walk on her own. Ignoring her current physical condition, I tugged her along with me though the crowed trying to make enough room for both of us to push though.

Suddenly, strong arms gripped my shoulders and spun me around. Just as I was about to sent the bozo flying across the crowed, I recognized the familiar face.

"Noah Puckerman! Are you fucking crazy! You kno-"

Before I could finish my sentence, Puck picked me up and swung me around in a bone crushing hug, hitting a few people that stood around us.

"I never though I'd be so glad to see you!"

"Noah you oversized carebear put me down! I cant breath.." I managed to choke out as the little life I had left in me was being forcefully squeezed out.

His grip around my small frame immediately loosened and he gently set me back down on the ground, a large grin plastered on his face.

"Noah it's so good to see that you're alright." Said my mother weakly, attempting to smile at the boy in front of her.

Puck's smile faded from his face instantly as his worried eye's darted to my direction. I just looked at him blankly and shrugged. I knew what was going through his mind but now was not the time to worry. We had to get onto that boat.

"Hey you there!" yelled a man. Our heads turn to towards the voice attentively." Yes you two. Come here." He ordered, signalling us to come to the gates.

"I'm sorry ma'am but I'll have to ask you to step back."

I turned around to see who he was pointing at only to realize it was my mother.

"What! No! She has to come with us! Mami come on." I graded her by the wrist and tried to pull her along with me but she remained rooted in place, refusing to move from were she stood.

"Mami. You have to come! I can't leave you here. Not with them…." I trailed off, shakily pointing at the crowed of people that stood in front of us.

"You have to go mija. You'll be fine ok." She tried to assure me but it didn't work.

"You told me we'd be ok! You cant do this! You promised." I screamed, tears violently rushing down my face. I couldn't hold it in anymore. This can't be happening!

Puck hesitantly picked me up, holding me tight to his chest. His strong arms were wrapped securely around my body pulling me back. I could see her weaving at me through my tear filled eye's.

"I love you, Santana." I heard her cry out.

Everything from then on was a blur. The screaming, the kicking, the continuous yelling of the people around me. It all seamed so unreal almost as if it were all a bad dream I couldn't wake up from. Nothing like this happens in real life, right?

What was the point? The word as we knew it was over. There was no going back. I felt my body go limp as Puck carried me bridal style further into the boat. I was too tired to fight back anymore.

The large metal doors of the boat closed behind us, muting the helpless cries of the people on the other side. Our friends, our neighbours, our families were calling out to us for help and we could do nothing but listen to their pleas. What now?

Puck carefully sat me down on a vacant wooden bench, wrapping me up in a thin blanket that he pulled out of his backpack. He sat down beside me and gently squeezed my right solder reassuringly.

"We'll be all right." he uttered quietly. The familiar words echoed through my mind.

"Don't make promises you can't keep."
