Clare stumbled through the darkened patch of forest, the same sweet rotten smell shocking her senses. The black drops she followed were beginning to fade, and she prayed that she got to the end of them soon. As her stomach became accustom to the smell, and her pain and nausea started to fade, her walking became regular, instead of the drunken swagger she had had before, which helped to speed the process of searching.
She soon came to the end of the trail, to find nothing yet again. Her heart sank into her gut, a pleading voice inside her head telling her to just stop, to just give up.
But she could never give up on Steve. She walked blindly through the forest, looking for any signs of the living, any signs of Steve. Suddenly she happened upon a clearing, as she pushed the shrubs and thicket away from her path she soon realized it wasn't a clearing, it was a small town. She sighed in relief, although the town seemed to be abandoned.
She walked down the main street, seeing small shops and building, such as, Everville Bakery and Everville Pharmacy. So she assumed the town was Everville. She walked to the corner and made a left, seeing a run down family restaurant, Scotts Dinner and Tavern, which automatically made her stomach roar with hunger. She jugged to the door, it was nailed shut. She shoved her body full force against the boards, but it didn't budge. Without warning she heard the shattering of glass very close to her, she spun around to quickly see the large window of the diner be shattered by a pipe. Her breath caught in her lungs as her eyes followed where the pipe had come from.
Her eyes met deep green/ lavender eyes. And she couldn't help but stare in awe at them.
" Hey there doll face, names Jess. And you would be…."
For a moment she just stood, shocked at finding another survivor. She blinked stunned, then began to stutter. " C…Clare."
" Well Miss. Clare, what's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?"
" You mean Everville?"
" That is where we are."
She smiled at knowing she was right. She took a step near him, and he stood casually, seeming to look her up and down.
" Aren't you afraid I'm infected?"
" Are you?"
" No, but I mean…"
" Even if you were, you'd be the last thing I'd be afraid of in this hellhole."
She laughed a bit. Then she realized, that was the first time she had laughed since this nightmare had started. He smiled, moving a lean hand through his shaggy dark hair, weather it was brown or black she couldn't tell from this distance, but it was dark. He took the first step through the window, pulling out a magnum as he crawled awkwardly through, covering himself as he looked around.
" Its safe Doll…come on in."
And with his approval, she did.
