The next morning...

The group woke up the next morning with dean cooking breakfast for everyone and Laura sat in her tent wearing her mum Claire's red jacket and buried her head in between her knees whilst sasha and becky were helping dean serve everyone a plate of food before sasha and becky then came and sat either side of Laura in her tent as sasha placed her breakfast down in front of her before Laura then slowly pushed the plate away from her and mumbled "not hungry"

While sasha was busy stuffing her face with food becky briefly stopped eating as she placed a arm around Laura and said to her "c'mon, you need to eat something and i know it not my place to say but i just want to tell you that i felt like you once when i lost one of my family members" to which sasha then finally stopped stuffing her face for a minute as she wrapped a arm around Laura and said "omg, babe you have to try some of deans cooking it is delicious" Laura then slowly raised her head from her knees and smiled at both sasha and becky a little before she then took a small mouthful of the cheese and bacon omelette dean had made for everyone and her mind felt like it was in heaven before Laura then quickly took a few more mouthfuls as sasha and becky couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.

Before sasha then said while still trying not to laugh "don't eat too quick babe, otherwise you will be sick" Laura then finished her plateful before she looked at sasha and said "i know babe, but you were right deans cooking is amazing but can we go somewhere private and talk" to which sasha then smiled as she took Laura by her hand and looked at becky who just nodded and said "go on, whatever it is Laura needs to talk to you about it must be important so go" before sasha then walked off with Laura to a quieter part of the camp as they sat on the floor together before sasha then said "so, what did you want to talk about babe?"

Laura then sat there and looked at sasha for a few minutes with tears building up in her eyes before she finally said "well, i have been thinking a lot last night and there was something i wanted to ask you" to which sasha then had a confused look on her face and said "ok, what's that babe?" then tears slowly started to trickle down Laura's face as she mustered up the courage to reply "i...i wanted to ask you that if i ever turned into one of those disgusting, rotten things if...if either you or becky would ok with shooting me down or ending my life before then" now it was sasha's turn to have tears in her eyes as she threw herself into Laura's arms and said "babe, if you ever got infected i would stop at nothing to find a cure for you but if it came down to either me or becky pulling that trigger and shooting you down then i don't think either of us would be able to do that without having tears in our eyes"

Then becky and dean walked over as they said "there you are, we were starting to worry" before becky then saw the tears in both Laura and sasha's eyes and knelt down and gave them both a hug and said "what did you guys even talk about? Or is it something i don't really want to know" to which Laura then burst into tears on becky while sasha tried to explain everything without crying herself as she said "well Laura asked me that if she ever turned into one of those fucking disgusting, rotten things would either me or becky be ok with shooting her down and i told her if she ever got infected i would stop at nothing until i found a cure for her but if it really came down to it then me or becky wouldn't be able to pull the trigger without having tears in our eyes"

Just then the group heard a rocket being launched and struck something in the distance and not wanting to stick around to find out what it was the group scrambled into their trucks with Laura driving her mum's truck with sasha sitting next to her and leon and becky sitting in the back to guide her while bayley and the shield got into roman's truck and started driving for the next town and they got a little over half way before another rocket then struck the road in front of Laura causing the truck to tumble over and over before landing back on its wheels again.

And roman briefly stopped the truck to radio Laura and the others to see if they were ok when a large humanoid creature with a rocket launcher attached to its arm slowly walked down towards them screaming "S.T.A.R.S" and Laura briefly looked around and said "is everyone ok ?" before sasha then replied "we're fine babe" before Laura then saw the humanoid creature in the windscreen of the truck and exclaimed "FUCK, not him, not now" before she then scrambled to unbuckle her seatbelt and grabbed her crossbow and unloaded a few shots with each one landing their mark as they ripped straight through the humanoid creatures limbs knocking it down to a knee briefly before it then stood back up and continued walking towards Laura and the others.

Laura then scrambled to reload her crossbow before she then realised the creature was inches in front of her so she grabbed her baseball bat covered in barbed wire and went to take a swing at the creature and landed a few strikes which didn't seem to faze the creature before it then grabbed Laura by her throat and threw her towards a building and Laura landed hard as her body smashed through the wall leaving her laying on the rubble motionless before the creature then screamed "S.T.A.R.S" again as roman and the other members of the shield opened fire on the creature knocking it down to a knee again and sasha and becky took this opportunity to head over to Laura.

Sasha then crouched down next to Laura and slowly lifted her so she was sitting up as she thought to herself "please be ok, i don't want to lose my girlfriend now" before Laura then groaned in sasha's arms and blinked a couple of times and smiled when she saw sasha's face and weakly said "oh, hey babe what are you and becky doing here?" to which sasha had a few tears in her eyes as she replied "we came to check on you silly, don't ever scare us like that again ok? We thought we had lost you" Laura then coughed up some blood before she replied "i'm not going anywhere babe, but if we don't do something about NEMISIS no one will be safe"

Meanwhile roman charged at the creature and hit a superman punch catching the creature in its jaw making collapse on all fours before an idea then came to roman as he siganled to seth and dean who caught on to what roman was thinking as they ran towards an abandoned factory firing a few shots to get the creatures attention as it rose to its feet and slowly chased after them with roman following where once inside seth and dean continued to fire short bursts to keep the creatures attention until they eventually spilled out on to the roof.

Roman then let out a primal roar which caused the creature to turn around as roman charged at the creature with a spear sending it crashing down on to the ground. Then as the creature was getting to its feet seth ran and hit a curb stomp sending the creature back down to the ground before roman then signalled for the triple powerbomb as dean and seth grabbed a hold of each of the creatures arms and lifted it onto romans shoulders as all three of them then slowly walked towards the edge of the roof of the factory before roman then threw the creature off hoping the fall would be enough to end the creature.

The creature then hit the ground below with a loud THUD and laid on the ground lifeless so seth and dean roman slowly made their way back down to the truck and climbed in as Laura was being helped out of the building she crashed through by sasha and becky who each had a arm over their shoulders before they slowly reached the truck and Laura slowly walked forwards towards the driver's seat before she collapsed to one knee as sasha helped her up and said "hey, take it easy babe, here let me help you" before sasha then opened the door and helped Laura climb inside before climbing in after her.

Laura then looked at sasha and smiled before she said "thank you sash, you're so good to me" sasha then gave Laura a kiss on her cheek before she replied "don't worry about it baby, i will always be there for you" to which Laura smiled back at sasha and returned the kiss on her cheek before turning the key in the ignition and carried on driving following roman towards the next town over...
