Alice kept running, making sure not to look behind her. She continued forth for the next thirty minutes before dropping tired in front of an abandoned Pre War House. Before walking into the house, she checked all the windows and didn't see anyone there and thus let herself in. It was already sunrise, but she didn't want to sleep. No. She just wanted to eat and then continue forth.

Alice found a few bottles of Nuka Cola, along with some Stimpaks and a pack of Rad-Away. The only weapons left in the house were a broken sniper rifle and a .45 auto pistol. I guess it will have to do, she thought. As much as she tried to fight the urge to sleep, she still fell asleep against her will on the couch, but not for very long.

As she woke up, she realized she was still wearing the Legion's slave clothing. It was all sweaty and greasy. She didn't want another reminder of the Legion, she hated them.

"Disgusting piece of filth."

Alice tore off the piece of cloth that was the Legion's clothing and put back on her Vault 11 jumpsuit that was still in her backpack.

"Much better."

She fled the house after waking and continued north, never stopping to drink or eat. This was how she continued for the next three days, never stopping anywhere or replenishing herself. She felt she was fine with it for the most part up until everything became less tolerable and her supplies ran low one day, just as she had entered the Northern Passage.

"I wonder where this leads to," she said.

Before venturing further into the cave, Alice looked back.

"I miss you, April."

Alice wondered where she was. Wherever this place was, it seemed safely far enough away from Caesar, she hoped. She didn't know where the dark path lead, but it seemed this was her only option of escape.

"No turning back now," she said as she entered the darkness. She walked on through cave for a while, using her Pip-Boy light to see and then found herself outside once more.

Alice continued on for about four more hours before tripping and then falling on her face. It proved difficult for her to get up, as she was drained of energy and stuck in the sweltering heat of the Mojave Wasteland. Not a single radscorpion or cazador was in sight, not even a bloatfly. There were barely any horsenettle plants in sight, and maybe one or two Joshua trees. A large wad of tumbleweed passed her by, moving in the wind ever so slowly.

Alice thought she might just die here. What was the point in leaving the Legion camp anyways? Her sister was probably dead by now. Maybe I will die, she thought. No. I cant!

Alice jumped right up and looked behind her. Right then and there about sixty feet away was a Legion scout with a mongrel, aiming a sniper rifle at her. She turned away and kept running, making sure to meander around so that she wouldn't get hit by the scout. Though he was very far away, he nevertheless continued trying to hit her.

"Damn bastard!" she said under her breath.

The scout was getting angrier by the minute as he kept missing. His mistakes were not in shooting, they were made in attempting to shoot while running. Alice was thankful that the scout couldn't hit her because he was trying very hard to catch up with her.

This ensued for another two hours, until Alice swore she finally lost the scout and his dog. The sun was now in the middle of the sky, and Alice swore that she was hallucinating. Alice thought she saw Deathclaws dancing in front of a fire with Brahmin. What in all hell? She wiped her eyes and her vision was gone. Five minutes later, she saw her mother and father walking towards her, with grave faces.

"Alice honey, why did you leave us behind? Why did you leave April?" they asked

A little boy peeked out from behind her parents. It was her younger brother, Nathan, who was twelve when he died.

"Awwice," he said with a strong lisp,"Why? Why weave us? We miss you…"

Alice shook her head. This isn't real, this isn't real, she thought.

"Go away!" she said to the hallucination

"Don't forget about April," her family said, "She needs you.."

"I realize that, thanks!" Alice shouted to the air.

"We may be gone, but April isn't. Save her, please."

"I will!" she shouted. But the hallucination of her family was gone, and she was talking to a cactus.

"I don't know how I will," she said quietly.

Alice trudged on, still bothered by her hallucinations. She knew she had to save April, she didn't want to leave her sister behind. Her sister was her other half, no doubt about it. They were twins, they functioned together. If they were ever apart, even a mile apart, they both often felt empty without each other's company. Already Alice felt as if there was nothing left of her. Soon Alice started seeing shapes in the distance, but felt as if they were a part of another hallucination brought on from the heat. As she got closer, she noticed that the shapes didn't go away, but formed walls of a canyon.

She didn't remember there ever being any canyon walls of any kind, nor green trees for that matter. Alice decided to venture forth into this canyon just to make sure she wasn't dreaming. As she walked further into the canyon, she noticed that there were a lot of green plants and so much life around. She noticed that there were a few dogs and mole rats up on the cliffs, and swore she also saw some Yao Guai. Thankfully for her though, animals never feared her nor attacked her.

While looking at the cliffs, Alice decided she wanted to climb and see what kind of view there was from above, and set forth to climbing until she encountered a bridge that led to an ascending trail.

"My God, a bridge." she said aloud.

So there must be people living here, she thought, as she crossed the bridge.

Once she got to the other side, she noticed that the trail was narrow and over a very steep cliff. She clung to the walls as best as she could but nearly slipped twice. It took her about 30 minutes to walk slowly, until she reached a high cliff that stood over a large blue river. Alice looked down and nearly vomited, as the drop looked far and treacherous.

"Dear God, if I fall from that, I am dead." Alice shuddered, stepping back fifteen feet away from the edge of the cliff.

As Alice was about to sit down, she got shot in the right shoulder.

"Agh!" she cried, clutching her shoulder.

Alice removed her hand from her shoulder and saw blood. She turned around and found the same Legion scout standing about ten feet away, with his mongrel at his feet. His mongrel came over and attacked her, ripping open her Vault 11 jumpsuit and leaving a gash that ran between her breasts as it continued to bite her and scratch at her. She tried to fight it off with her bare hands but found her strength beginning to deplete from loss of blood. The scout came closer, aiming at her head. It was then that Alice decided to make a jump for it into the large river as a last resort for escape.

Alice sprinted as fast as she could, but didn't realize how close the edge of the cliff was. She lost her footing and fell. The last thing that Alice remembered seeing was the stunned face of the Legion scout watching her fall before everything faded to black.
