...as she pressed her hand to the other girl's cheek, Naya could feel her flesh burning up from within, changing as the virus that slept in all of us awoke in her lover. She blinked back tears, licking suddenly dry lips before she managed to whisper, "I'm so sorry, Heather. I never thought it would end this way."
"It doesn't have to end this way for you," she replied and smiled, sorrow written in her still bright eyes. "Get the hell out of here Naya. There's nothing left in this wasteland but the dead. Go home. Live, and be happy."
"It's too late for that. It's too late for me." She held up the blood test and watched as her lover's eyes widened, taking in the meaning of the single red light burned its way into their minds. "It's been too late since the attack." Her own smile was as weak as the blond's. "You called me the hyacinth. I guess I belong in the wasteland."
"At least we are damned together," Heather replied, and she kissed her.

Quinn and I never met her parent's biological son. He was a kindergarten student during the Rising, and he survived the initial wave thanks to her parents, who pulled him out of class as soon as the data started pointing to public schools as amplification flash points. They did everything they could to protect him from the threat of infection. Everyone had assumed that he would be one of the lucky ones.
The couple next door had two golden retrievers, each weighing well over forty pounds, which put them in the range where amplification was entirely possible and most likely to occur. One of the dogs was bitten-it was never determined by what-and began conversion to that of the undead variety. No one had realized what was happening because this type of conversion had never happened before. Philip Anthony Fabray was the first case of human Kellis-Amberlee conversion by way of animal initiation.
The honor does nothing to ease the pain and help Quinn's parents achieve maximum rest at night.
I am aware that my stance against pet ownership is not that of the popular vote. People love dogs, people love horses, and they want to continue to keep them in their private homes. I completely understand this, I really do. I also completely understand that animals want to be free and that sick animals are more likely to break their restraints to go and seek "comfort". However, eventually "comfort" becomes an incredibly increasing need to "find something to bite" and they then seek out things that are easy to take down and eat. I support the Biological Mass Pet Ownership Restrictions, as do my girlfriend's parents. Perhaps if her brother were alive today, we'd all feel differently about this. However, he is not.
