Bright Armor


-Dhalia / K-mart POV

Everything was ready. Claire and the others were in cars that still could walk. We filled the tanks with the necessary fuel just to get to the installation. We could not be too heavy and the truck also could not be empty. The plan was simple. We were going along to a point and then I would go ahead and should jump from the truck when it's would be enough to blow it.

I took a deep breath and stepped on the accelerator as deep as possible. The rope and baseball bat were beside me on the seat. The Hummer was behind me at the rearview. I held my breath and changed a huge truck march. The first undeads were like small stones in the way, and I did not care. Destroy some of them even would be not a bad idea. I stepped on the gas and left an almost devilish grin walk past my lips.

She accelerated and everyone in the car held their breath, Rain was silent throughout the plane and we all knew she was against, but did not dare say anything about it. She trusted blindly in Alice. I held the growl and watched the truck continues to go full speed to the fence installation. It was too far away to see any detail, but Alice put the gun out the window. The desert was not a smooth terrain, but the truck was not a target really hard. She waited. The first undead were already close to us.

"Alice ..." Claire was warning. She took a deep breath.

"Alice..." once again.

"Alice!" she screamed so diverted the first rotting body on the floor. And then Alice smiled victoriously and pulled the trigger.

Seconds later the truck exploded into several pieces. Throwing all, living or dead, far enough and killing once and for all that were close enough. My thoughts were in K-mart. There was nothing standing in the middle of the field. Everything was on the floor. My heart sank.

Alice turned the wheel of the Hummer and stopped suddenly. Rain huffed down beside me and opened the door about the same time that Alice. I watched them through the bodies. A moment later she was coming with her in her arms. Well out of the smoke and carrying it without even shaking. And in that moment I understood why she was the knight in shining armor of K-mart.

Rain opened the trunk of the Hummer and Alice put her, as calmly as possible. The way she looked at K-mart looks like the world was not even falling around us.

But that the undead were beginning to rise. K-mart was conscious but exhausted. "She'll be fine," she told me. My eyes met the blues. They almost glowed at me, and the smile on her face was quite cozy. I never liked Alice, but at least I knew that K-mart was safe with her. Well, at least almost safe...

-Dhalia / K-mart POV

The unmistakable sound of the propellers was in my ears. I knew we had achieved, but I could not leave my eyes open for long. There were flashes of images. Claire leading to all the other helicopter. Alice standing beside me, holding me. And Rain running for the second helicopter controls.

I smiled vaguely. We had achieved.
