"Hey wait up! Where are you going?" Isis asks as she spots the new girl leaving.

"Yeah. Are you crazy? Do you really want a repeat of earlier?" Alexis asks as they run over to the girl.

"I'm going to search for that Vitriol dude so that I can get my rotten life back." The girl says not sounding thrilled.

"We'll go with you!" Isis says happily.

"Please don't." The girl says as she begins to walk off.

"Listen this could be a very dangerous journey and you'll need our protection." Isis says as she and Alexis run to catch up with the girl.

"She does have a point. It's pretty dangerous out here if you don't know what you're doing." Alexis says.

"Yeah. Right." The girl says as she continues walking.

"Hang on. You'll need my good luck charms." Isis says as she reveals a poorly looking necklace.

"Isis no offence but I don't even wanna know where you got that from." Alexis says as she receives a playful eye roll from Isis.

"Ouch!.. Oh no." Isis says as she looks at the ground after tripping over a rock seeing her necklace is now broken.

"I can find this drifter by myself." The girl says angrily as she begins to walk off.

"Vitriol. Oh I know where he lives." Isis says causing the girl to stop.

"You do?" Alexis asks curious never knowing this.

"Oh really? Where?" The girl asks.

"He always hangs out in the old Egyptian cemetery. I'm pretty sure I can remember how to get there. You totally need me." Isis says.

"Well this ought to end well." Alexis thinks to herself seeing Isis get up.

"Fine but keep your distance and remember I'm not your friend." The girl says as she begins walking.

"You won't regret it." Isis says happily.

"I hope not. Which way?" The girl asks as they come to a fork in the path.

"Let's go right. It's luckier." Isis says as she points which direction.

"Isis you're pointing left." The girl says as she points out Isis is pointing left instead of right.

"Duh. It gets so confusing. Is it F thirteen? Oh no. No one should go anywhere on F thirteen." Isis says as they begin walking down the path.

"Chill. It's not Friday the thirteenth." The girl says.

"So if you don't mind we never did catch your name." Alexis says getting the girl to look at her.

"It's Dixie." The girl says as she keeps walking.

"Well it's nice to have a travel companion. I usually walk these woods alone but with you two along it should be interesting." Alexis says.

"It surely will be." Dixie says.

"You need to eat something. You haven't had a bite to eat in days." Isis says hearing Dixie's stomach growl.

"Yuck! Zombie food is disgusting." Dixie says.

"Don't knock it until you try it. Besides right now it's the only thing around to eat." Alexis says.

"How would you know. You haven't even tried it. I highly recommend the crunchy cockroaches. But if you prefer something softer than the worms are heavenly. Before you know it you'll be drooling over roasted squirrel brain." Isis says as she continues walking with Alexis.

"Hey Isis. Where did Dixie go?" Alexis asks no longer seeing Dixie beside them.

"She must of gotten separated a bit back." Isis says.

"I think I know where. Look down there." Alexis says pointing to Dixie being cornered on a cliff by dark angels.

"I got an idea. Follow me." Isis says as she then lowers a rope of her bandages down to Dixie as she is being cornered by dark angels.

"Grab it!" Alexis shouts.

"Okay! Pull me up!" Dixie shouts as she grabs the rope before Alexis pushes down the rock the bandage end is tied to onto the dark angels below and lifts Dixie up to herself and Isis.

"That was close." Alexis says.

"You should of let them nail me. It would of made your lives easier." Dixie says sadly.

"Or at least not so messed up." Isis says causing the three girls to laugh.

*Timeskip*

"Isis this path doesn't lead anywhere." Dixie says as the three are walking again.

"Yeah Isis. Are you sure you know where you're going?" Alexis asks.

"Oh no! I'm cursed." Isis says causing Alexis and Dixie to look at her.

"Why are you so superstitious?" Dixie asks.

"For a very good reason. Did you know Tutankhamen and I were engaged to be married?" Isis asks.

"Wow! That's so cool." Dixie says surprised.

"It didn't last long. A beggar prophedized that I would be devoured by crocodiles." Isis says.

"No way." Dixie says as she looks at Isis.

"Our parents arranged for the two of us to meet on a river boat. Everything was cool... then I saw the crocodiles." Isis says.

"Headed for your boat?" Alexis asks.

"No. Sleeping peacefully." Isis says.

"Well then the prophecy didn't come true." Dixie says.

"It did. I started screaming which woke the crocodiles up. Then I stumbled and fell in the water and here I am. It's my destiny." Isis says.

"No it was just a bad coincidence. So how about you Alexis? How did you end up here?" Dixie asks.

"Well I was a human family's pet after I was found as a puppy when I lost my pack. They took me in and called me Rose. They had a human boy called Cody which I loved him dearly. He was my human and the human I gave my life to protect till my dying breath. There was a fire that somehow got started in the house. His parents and I all got out but I realized Cody was still inside. So I went back in to find him and that I did but when I was almost out with him a beam above of us was about to fall where it was on fire. I knew that if I didn't do something it was going to come down on him if not us both. So I pushed him out of the way to safety and before I could move fast enough it came down on me. Before I knew what else happened I blacked out and woke up here. Then that's where I met Isis. But I'm very happy I did meet her." Alexis say as Dixie looks at her sympathetically while Isis blushes.

"So that explains why you're so protective over Isis." Dixie says as Alexis nods.

"Yep. She might not be much in terms of what she is but to me she's means everything. I see her like I did my human boy and more. I'll give everything for her now as I would have him." Alexis says as she blushes.

"Look at this rock." Isis says as she finds a rock.

"Awesome!" Dixie says as she watches Isis hit the rock with a stick sending it flying.

"Just wait and watch." Isis says as the rock continues to bounce off things.

"Duck!" Alexis says as she ducks down nearly getting hit by the rock before it hits Isis in the head.

"See what I mean?" Isis asks as she is seeing stars from getting hit with the rock.

*Timeskip*

"What are we exactly? Why are we trapped in these gross bodies covered in maggots?" Dixie asks as the three are sitting around a fire.

"We're zombies because we left unfinished business back at home." Isis says.

"We're neither dead or alive. Just somewhere in between." Alexis says.

"Can this open the door that leads back home?" Dixie asks as she gestures to the Azoth.

"Of course. Then we can fix the mistakes we made. Unless Nebulosa catches us first." Isis says.

"What is Nebulosa like?" Dixie asks as Isis stares at the fire.

"No one knows for sure. But ever since she showed up here she calls all the shots." Isis says.

"But why?" Dixie asks.

"Nobody dares to challenge her. Single minded ambition. It's her way or no way." Isis says.

*Timeskip*

"I'm so happy that you're my best friend and I'm even more happy to have you apart of our little group." Isis says as she is laying with Alexis and Dixie in a little cave.

"These will remind us to always stick together." Dixie says as she reveals two bracelets giving one to Alexis and Isis both.

"Like bread and butter. Once you spread butter on bread the two can never separate. They stay stuck to each other forever." Isis says causing Alexis and Dixie to look at her.

"Bread and butter." Dixie says as she and Isis rub hands.

"Yeah!" Dixie and Isis say causing all three girls to laugh.
