Still here? So Hold on and Enjoy it!

What is inside you?

-Dhalia / K-Mart POV

-My memories did not do justice to the perfect color blue of her eyes. I do not know how we got here, but suddenly, all what could permeate my mind was the way she was looking at me. Fragile and broken. Sweet again... -

Las Vegas. We were going to Las Vegas.

"You are mad?" I heard Claire screaming at her. Since Alice arrived, the one who seemed really excited was Carlos. Unlike everyone else, she sat beside him. "It may be the only chance..." Alice replied that low tone. Her voice had taken some lower notes, and I did not know why. But it would be a lie if I say that I do not liked.

But Every time I caught her looking at me, the blues were no longer the same. Somehow they were gray, cold as steel. Steel that hit exactly my heart. Heart that was once hers. And to be honest, still was.

"Okay, here is the thing, let's take a vote and see who approves this your ridiculous idea" Claire went treading firm in the desert sand.

They were doing well, I mean, almost well. Thanks to my dear and hateful Morgan, since Claire make sure that Alice does not want me around, she made some excuse about she being dangerous. And maybe she was. Alice had become ice.

Far from my thoughts I did not realize until all the convoy were gathered, and Claire explained the plan.

Go to Alaska, but to do it, we would have to go through Las Vegas. I watched as each of them looked at the closest companion, as the whispers began. One by one the hands were being raised.

"Las Vegas" Claire said in the midst of a sigh. We knew her too well to know that she was not satisfied. Worse than the convoy in danger could only be Morgan in danger.

Morgan... Since Alice arrived, she insisted that I spend every night in the Hummer. It was like before, but this time there was Claire now.

One night, I decided to stay in the truck with Carlos. It was not long before dawn, but I was already awake. In fact, I had not even slept. I climbed on the roof of the truck and waited for the sun. They could not see me, but I knew they were awake. Before long, they leave but it was amazing to see them walking without pushing each other or playing silly jokes. Claire was not much older than us, maybe three or four years. But it was funny to see this confusing relationship of the two. Over me and Alice, they were getting closer. After that, most of my nights was in the truck or even on the bus. The Hummer was not my place anymore.

We got to town a few hours after breaking camp. Everything was just covered with sand.

"What happened here?" Morgan asked no one in particular "The desert took over again" Claire replied instantly, oblivious to my observation of them two. As soon as we got off, everyone started walking toward a loose container in the middle of the sand.

"Let's get this..." Claire told our duty winch.

"Wait," was her voice. Even without looking, I knew it was her. I felt such a lack of that low tone. Even cooler, it was still her. And I would recognize it anywhere.

I turned to see her walking toward the container. It seems that everyone had held his breath waiting for what she would say next. "Get away!" she shouted just before the container door fall.

The frenzy began suddenly when the undead ran out.

Morgan automatically pushed me to the Hummer, she was behind me, somehow trying to protect me. I could hear the echo of the shots in the metal structures. Every one trying hard to save their lives. I slammed the door with all possible force and checked the safety. Looking out the extension in front of me, I saw Claire angrily trying to take the monsters who were on Mickey. So concentrated that it was not able to see the undead who came running toward her.

"NO!"

Morgan yelled at my side before leaving the Hummer. I've never seen her shooting like that. One by one the undead behind Claire fell.

Morgan joined her in a race to the Mickey's body. Even though I did not share a single drop of admiration for him, I also felt regret.

A loud noise beside me, and I no longer knew where the car glass was. Feeling a pair of cold hands around my neck, I panicked.

-Morgan POV

We heard the scream from the Hummer. I looked around, the vague notion that Alice was out of sight, and that was the cry of K-mart. Claire ran before me, before I could think.

I forced myself to follow her, but a shadow passed over me. I did not realize it was Alice until she had passed by me and Claire.

K-mart was on the floor... A risk of blood marking her neck...

-Dhalia / K-Mart POV

My memories did not do justice to the perfect color blue of her eyes. I do not know how we came get here, but suddenly all he could permeate my mind was the way she was looking at me. Fragile and broken. Sweet again...

I saw the tears start coming. Somewhere in my mind, I recorded the sound of a few shots and the tip of pain in my neck.

"Dhalia, look at me" she asked softly. But, what was wrong? "What is it Alice?" I did not understand why she was reacting like that. "How are you feeling?" she asked with tortured eyes. "Well, I should not? I hit that thing..." I smiled, remembering that I had managed to grab the gun in time.

Her eyes were tortured and I did not know the reason. I ran a hand where he was in pain, and so I pulled back the flashes back in my head.

"Blood..." I looked at her, finally seeing the tear drain the perfect ice face.

Morgan came to my side and automatically covered her mouth with her hands. "She was bitten?!" she screamed hysterical "Shut up! Let's find a way out!" Alice snapped at her. "Alice, do not..." Her attention turned fully to me. "I should have been here... to protect you..." She said running a hand through my hair. "I'm going to fix it, K. I promise" I felt her arms leaving my body. I tried to fight, but somehow I could not. Alice left me lying in the sand and simply left. I saw Claire went after her, I tried to get up then, but Morgan was here... The blue eyes of remembrance burning my mind... A small smile touched my lips. But that care have Alice back now, acute pain finally invaded my senses reminding me that I would not have many hours of life...

But she will come back to me, I'm sure... She promised me.
