Name: Make a Shadow

Summary: ❝I want to be a kid again, don't tell me this is home.❞

Erin Steinbeck survived Los Angeles, but now the harder part comes along – living with the consequences of the choices she made back home. And it's changed her. Gone is the kind and caring Erin who would die for her friends and she's been replaced by the cold hearted and sarcastic killer, who only seems to care about killing every infected she sees.

But even with all these changes; it's driving a hard line between her best friend and her boyfriend. While Alicia wants her best friend back, Nick seemingly falls even more in love with the crazy killer his girlfriend has become.

Under the shell Erin placed around herself, she's a scared and a very vulnerable woman who still hasn't found a way to adjust herself into the new reality. While everyone is fighting a war against the infected, Erin is fighting her own war against herself. She hasn't quite recovered from the things she had to live through back in Los Angeles, and it's starting to take its toll on not just her, but everyone else around her.

Story song: Make a Shadow by Meg Myers

Author's note: Here is the sequel to Love Me to Pieces so it's very important you read that first before you read this one, it'll make a lot more sense if you do. This one will be set during season two and I'm aiming for each chapter to be with every episode although that may change as I'm writing it. But anyways, hope you enjoy Make a Shadow!

Katie Findlay as Erin Steinbeck.

"Sword and crown are worthless here,

I invite everyone to dance

Labourers, lawyers, church and gown all make their little prance.

This life is full of random death

And heaps of grief and shame,

So few are soothed by 'accident'

You want someone to blame.

Fire, plague or strange disease,

Drowned, murdered or, if you please,

A long fall down the basement stairs

None are expected, no one cares.

I often must work very hard

Sweat running down my skin,

After the dance I then must rest

And the eating can begin."

~ The Walrus Song by American McGee from Alice: Madness Returns.
