Chapter 6

"You're hurt." Alicia softly touched Elyza's hair.

"I'm fine." Elyza laid on her couch. Alicia took her thumb and swiped at the blood on her lip.

"This is fine?" She showed the blood to Elyza.

"It was a fistfight Alicia. The probability of not getting punched and smacked around isn't very low." She sat up and put her hand on her temple. The room spinned momentarily and Alicia grabbed her hand slowly pulling her off of the couch. Alicia opened the door to her room and pulled Elyza in. She brought her to the bathroom and with a damp wash cloth gently washed the war paint off. She set the wash cloth in the skin and pulled Elyza up. She stepped back out and was now on the other side of the door that lead out to the game room and as she was about to close the door she said.

"You get the bed and I get the couch tonight." Elyza frowned as the door snapped shut.

"Fine." Alicia closed the door behind her and Elyza took her pants and her bra off, kicking them into a pile by the bed. She quickly fell asleep and into a dream.

She was in a room where the walls and the floors were made of concrete. She could hear walkers in the distance and started to feel panic rise in her chest. She looked down to see where to run and saw the ground was littered in candles. "Lexa" she called out nervously. She looked at the far wall and saw Lexa chained to the wall. She started to run but as she ran the walls extended for Lexa to just be out of her reach. A hooded figure in black stepped out of the dark and as he turned toward Lexa, Lexa's image was shifting to look like Alicia. The hooded figure took his hood down to reveal that it was Bellamy. "Bellamy don't!" She screamed out. Bellamy grinned at her, his eyes black holes as he took a knife out of his robes. Elyza started running in an attempt to save her and as the knife was brought down into Alicia's heart, she woke up.

Alicia was beside her, the door to the room closed. "You were screaming out in your sleep. Are you okay?" Elyza felt the tears build up and started to cry. Alicia sat with her back against the headboard of the bed and opened her arms. "Come here Elyza." Elyza climbed into her lap, her legs swinging over Alicias, her head resting against Alicia's chest so she could hear her heartbeat. Alicia stroked her hair and hummed the melody to a familiar classical piece.

"Did you play an instrument before the dead came back?" Elyza sniffled and sat back. Alicia's eyes shone bright in the moonlight that was cast into the room.

"I played some piano when I was younger. All it really did was get me interested into classical music. Don't let that fool you though, punk rock is a meaning of life." Her eyes glistened as she talked about one of her favorite things. "Did you play?"

"I might've dabbled in some guitar and bass." She settled her head back against Alicia's chest, Alicia put her cheek on the top of Elyza's head.

"Only dabbled?" Alicia grinned while asking the question. The amusement she felt coming through with her tone of voice.

"Well, yeah. The heat in Australia warps the wood real bad in the summer but that was mostly my fault leaving it in a storage unit during the summer." Elyza chuckled lightly, her australian accent hadn't at all been unnoticed while she had been in Alicia's presence for the last few days.

Elyza felt her eyes grow heavy as she laid against Alicia's chest. "We should move so we're laying down." She groggily managed to get out.

"Hmmmmm future us problem." Alicia mumbled in reply, lazily intertwining her fingers with Elyza's.

Elyza slowly opened her eyes. The light in the room had been enough to wake her up. She felt the arm around her hip and the body next to hers and relished the feeling. It had been far too long since they had shared a bed. At some point in the night they must've slid down the bed for comfort. Elyza gently lifted Alicia's hand and rolled over to face her. She was peacefully asleep and the light accentuated the curve of her right eye and the tip of her nose. Elyza's gaze fluttered to Alicia's lips. Elyza wiggled a hand out from under Alicia and lightly touched Alicia's cheek. Her fingers felt the soft skin and she got goose bumps.

Alicia grumbled in her sleep and move her arm from Elyza's hip to be in between them instead. Her other arm remaining under Elyza's neck. Elyza moved closer to Alicia and kissed her nose and then her cheek. When she pulled back to settle back to where she was Alicia smiled and then opened her eyes.

"Good morning." Elyza smiled back at her.
