The highway was clear as Anna drove quickly through it to get back to the camp. There wasn't a single bitter or car to be seen for the past five or six miles and the rest of the ride looked like it was going to go smoothly. Then Anna looked down at her gas gauge and her heart fell. She was almost out of gas, and the nearest gas station was all the way back in the town she had left.

"Well boys, we are just going to have to see how far we can make it on empty." She let out a sigh and spoke to the dogs through the small back window of the truck. Sven stuck his head through the open glass and Anna reached up to pet him softly, her eyes glancing at the needle hovering over the E.

Anna drove for a good twenty more minutes until the truck finally died out, leaving her stranded on the highway. The red-head put the truck in park and slammed the stirring wheel with her palms in frustration. She let out an angry sigh and opened her door, looking around to make sure the coast was clear.

"Come on boys, where on foot from here." The ginger grabbed the bag from the back and put it over her shoulders, strapping it on tightly so it wouldn't come loose, and then made sure Max's harness was on securely. She grabbed everything from the truck and once more made sure her gun was loaded and ready to fire.

The three of them started to walk down the highway, Anna wasn't sure how much farther the camp was, but this was going to take a huge chunk out of her time and it would probably be dark before she even got to the group.

Sven and Max stopped walking, which caused Anna to raise an eyebrow and look at them. "Whats wrong guys? Do you see something?" The small woman leaned down and placed her hand on Svens back, looking in the direction their eyes went.

She couldn't see anything at first, but then she noticed that in the distance, it looked like people walking her way. Anna sat there for a few moments, looking at the people and wondering it they had run out of gas too. Then she heard Max let out a growl and lower his head, his fur standing up down his back.

"Oh shit..." As she looked closer she noticed that the people heading her way, were walking with limps and rather slowly. They didn't walk like a human, so they had to be one other thing. Anna's heart started to race, there were so many of them, at least twenty, and they had all decided to come in this direction.

"Come on guys, go to the woods, go." she pointed to the edge of the highway that lead to the woods and the dogs followed her as they ran into them. Anna hid behind a large tree, far enough from the highway, but close enough to look out and see them walking by.

She had never been more scarred in all her life, she was alone, other than Max and Sven who couldn't shoot, and she was looking at what now seemed to be about forty of these things just walking right past her.

Anna hadn't realized she was holding her breath until her chest started to hurt and she let out a soft breath, watching the bitters slowly make their way down the road. Max and Sven sat close beside her, their heads low and their fur sticking up.

"Come on guys." she whispered very quietly as she started to walk through the woods, trying her hardest not to make any noise. The hoard had almost passed them, only a few more making their way down the highway, when she heard a loud crunching sound of a twig breaking.

Anna panicked and looked over at the dogs, and neither of them had stepped on any branches, so she looked down at her own feet. If they weren't the source of the noise, then someone else was in the woods with them.

She quickly pulled her knife out and looked at Sven and Max, who were looking into the woods and walking closer to Anna, showing their teeth with low growls. "Shh, quiet boys, maybe it didn't see us." She whispered but her fears came true as she watched the bitter come from behind a few trees and look right at her.

Anna felt her heart quicken as the bitter started to make loud gurgling noises and groans, causing the ginger to freeze in place. If that bitter caught the attention of all the others, there was no way I am making it out alive. Her thoughts raced through her mind as she ran up to the bitter and stabbed it in the head.

Once silence fell upon them again, she took her knife out and slowly lowered the body to the ground, looking back to see if the other bitters noticed. To her delight, it didn't seem like they did, then she saw it. A bitter coming off the highway and into the woods, followed by another. Then another was after that one.

"Oh fuck...Come on guy run!" she whispered in a shout as the two dogs followed her into a sprint. She didn't have time to look back, she figured that would only slow her down and she didn't want to be the idiot in the movies who trips. Sven and Max where right beside her the entire time, even though she knew they could run faster than her.

The red-head wasn't even sure where she was going, she couldn't see the highway anymore and was simply running through the woods, dodging trees and leaping over rocks. When she heard the groans of the bitters behind her she felt herself panicking again, how are they catching up to her?

Her lungs felt like they where on fire, all those years of being on the highschool track and field sure did pay off now, but she wished she had kept to running after she graduated. She decided to take a bold move and look behind her, turning her head." When her teal eyes looked back, they grew wide and she pushed herself to run faster.

"What...the hell?" She growled under her breath. She had never seen bitters like those, there were only about six of them out of the forty from the highway, but they where different. These didn't run slowly or seem stupid. They where full on sprinting at her, and they where fast.

Anna was terrified, and that was a understatement, these new kind of bitters where different. She didn't even know what to think of them let alone know if they died the same way. What she did know, was that she couldn't keep running, her lungs felt ready to implode on her so she looked down at the two dogs.

She stopped running, turned around, and pulled out her pistol. "Please don't miss." She whispered as she started firing her rounds on these guys, two fell with direct head shots, causing the others to stop and look at them. Anna was confused, never has she seen bitters take any interest in another fallen bitter.

Then she raised her gun again as the other four turned and hissed at her, making these horrible noises and showing their teeth. They truly where scary, and different from the bitters, they had blacked out eyes and all looked similar. It was weird, like they where all the same person but different.

Anna was stopped in her thoughts as they charged her, and she fired off two more rounds, missing each one. "Shit.." Sven and Max started to walk in front of her and she shook her head no. Firing at them again and taking down one more. "No boys, these are different, I got it."

As she fired off her gun a few more times, she hit one of them in the shoulder, causing it to grab on to the wound and look up at her with anger. She raised her gun once more and aimed it at his head, but when she pulled the trigger she was greeted by a click. Her heart was pounding so hard she could hear the blood flow in her ears and she quickly grabbed her knife.

"Come on!" she screamed at the remaining two bitters..no these weren't bitters, they where different, these where more like sprinters. They looked at her and started to walk towards here, raising their arms up and growling at her like a wild animal. Once charged at her, and she braced herself for the impact as he pushed her to the ground, letting out a scream into her face.

She felt the moisture from his spit hit her face and held her breath, she didn't want to take any risks and then shoved her knife into his neck, ripping it forward and causing his blood to spill on her chest. Max and Sven where barking at the other sprinter that was heading for the dogs and Anna pushed the dead one-off her.

"Max!" she screamed as the sprinter lunged at him and grabbed his tail. Anna felt like time was going in slow motion as she ran to Max, and then heard the whimper ring through her ears. She held her knife tightly and jumped over Max, slamming the knife into the sprinters head, making him let go of the dog.

Once the sprinter fell to the ground, Anna looked at the white ball of fur that lay on the ground, and pulled him up into her lap. She looked over his body and noticed the bite in his left ear. "Oh Max, no, hold on boy." She kept whispering to him and then an idea came to her mind as she held her knife.

"I am so sorry boy, this is going to hurt, but I'm trying to save you." It was like Max understood because he simply closed his eyes and relaxed his head on her lap. Anna gripped the bloody ear with her left hand, and quickly to her blade to the base of it. She cut quickly and smoothly, the white dogs ear coming off and into her hand.

There was a loud whimper from Max and Sven was sitting right next to him. Max didn't respond after the whimper and Anna felt her heart sinking for the third time that day. She felt the hot tears rolling down her face and held the dog around the neck, crying into his fur. Sven stood up, looking behind them and growled, letting Anna know that the bitters had heard the gun fires.

She looked back and they where walking towards them, so she grabbed Max, lifting him up with all her strength and started to quickly walk away. "I got ya boy, I won't leave you behind." She whispered to him and noticed the white fur was now red were his ear was missing. She had to do something or she was going to lose Max, and she couldn't bear the thought of it.

Max was heavy, and she was growing weaker by the second. Anna looked back at the bitters and noticed that they where falling behind, unable to catch up with her as she ran through the woods with the dog in her arms. She looked ahead and noticed the small dirt road that had led to the camp and she let out a sigh of relief.

It was an eight mile long road to the camp, so she still had a way to go, but at least she knew she was getting closer. Once she was on the dirt road, she looked back to notice that the bitter either couldn't keep up, or lost interest in her. She stopped moving and put Max down, taking the harness off him.

"Okay Sven, its your turn to carry the goods, you got this right." She smiled at the dog but could tell that her fake smile wasn't fooling anyone. She quickly placed the harness on the large brown dog and tightened it as much as she could, making sure she wasn't going to lose any medicine. Once Sven was all set, she placed a hand on Max's head and let out a sigh.

He was breathing heavy and she had to stop the bleeding from his ear or he would pass out from blood loss. "I'm sorry boy, but this is gonna hurt again." She reached through her bag and grabbed the lighter she had put in there, just incase she would need to start a fire for some reason.

The ginger pulled out her knife and wiped the blood onto her jeans, holding it up and putting the flame under the metal. She did this for a good five minutes to make sure the metal was extremely hot, she didn't want to have to do this more than once.

"You ready Max?" There was no response like she wanted and she took a deep breath, pressing the hot blade against his open wound. The dog didn't even whimper, which scared Anna and she put her knife away once the wound was burnt. "Max?" she whispered and placed her hand on his chest, his heart was still beating, and she smiled in relief.

"Come on boys, it's a long walk home, and we only have about four hours left of day light." she lifted the white dog up into her arms again and they started to walk towards the camp. The entire time, Anna kept one hand on the dogs chest, feeling his heart beating in her hand. "Your gonna make it Max, you have to make it."

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

The tall man noticed the red truck stopped up ahead and raised an eyebrow. He had followed the red-head for a while now but had to keep his distance so she didn't notice him, and when he saw the empty truck he panicked.

"Great, how the hell am I going to explain to Hans that I lost the girl." He whispered to himself and then continued to drive slowly, looking to see if she was walking somewhere. Once he noticed the figure and the two dogs he slowed his car even more and smiled. "Got you."

It was then that he noticed her kneel and then sprint into the woods. "Did you see me?" His brown eyes scanned the area, and before long he noticed the horde of dead heading his way. He watched for a few moments, knowing he could get away if he had too, and kept his eyes on where the girl had gone.

He watched after a few moments as the bitters stopped walking and just stood their in a horde, shifting there bodies to the woods and then walking towards her. He watched as a few of them started to run and raised an eyebrow, "Since when did they run that fast?"

Then he watched as all the bitters headed into the woods and followed her. He let out a sigh and put the car in reverse, backing up and turning around to drive away. "Sorry boss, but that girl is as good as dead."

The drive back was a long one and Steven wasn't looking forward to telling Hans that he didn't find out where the camp was. So when he pulled up a little before sun down, he took a deep breath and drove inside the camp.

Steven got out of the car and walked up to Hans's camper, knocking on the door loudly. He heard noise from inside and then Hans answered the door in nothing but a pair of jeans. "Steven? Your back so soon?"

The brown-eyed man let out a sigh and nodded, not liking the look on Hans face. "I have bad news boss." And with that, Hans simply shook his head and placed a hand on his hip. "Okay, then spill it, did you lose the girl?"

He looked up at Hans and shook his head. "No sir, I followed her all the way like you asked, but her truck must have run out of gas, because she started to walk and left the truck." Hans was looking at him with a blank expression and nodded for him to continue.

"There where a lot of them sir, at least forty bitters, and they followed her into the woods. No one could ever escape that alive." she whispered at the end and Hans shifted on his feet. "So you mean to tell me, that you didn't actually see her dead, your only guessing?"

Steven realized his mistake and shook his head, he knew he shouldn't lie to Hans, but he didn't want to die either. "No sir, I did. I stayed until all the bitters walked away, and walked through the woods, I saw the girl on the ground." He looked up at Hans and was hoping like hell that he believed him.

"And the dogs?" Was all Hans said in return, causing Steven to look up confused. "They must have run sir, I didn't see them."

Hans nodded and placed a hand on Stevens shoulder, squeezing it tightly. "Okay, then if that is all true, in my eyes you only made one major mistake." Steven looked up at him confused and pressed his brows together.

"Where are all those medical supplies she had?" Steven's eyes went wide and he looked up at Hans in apology. "I...I'm sorry boss, I didn't think to grab them." Hans smiled and laughed slightly, that was when he was the scariest.

"Its okay son, we all make mistakes." And then he turned around and slammed the door to his RV shut, leaving a confused Steven to stare up at the door.

oOoOoOoOoOo

Rapunzel watched as the sun was starting to lower in the sky, looking at the direction that Anna had drove off in. She would be lying if she said she wasn't getting worried, she didn't know how far Anna had to go for supplies and Olaf was looking worse. Then she heard the tent zip open and she turned around to see Elsa stepping out.

"Elsa, what are you doing? You should be sleeping." The brunette quickly said as she realized that if Elsa found out she let Anna go alone, she would kill her. The blonde simply smiled at her and nodded.

"I'm fine Punzie, I just wanted to check on Anna and make sure she was feeling okay." She smiled and looked around, realizing Anna wasn't out here with Rapunzel and she looked at the brunette confused.

"Anna was staying away from you so she didn't get sick, remember?" Rapunzel tried to change the girls attention from looking for Anna but failed when Elsa walked up to her and kept looking around.

"Rapunzel, where is Anna?" she had a slight look of worry on her face and Rapunzel had to think fast or she was going to lose Elsa as well. Knowing that blonde, she would go looking for her and get lost or die from the fever.

"She went just outside the camp, working on the borders and the gate, she wanted to make sure everyone was safe." She smiled at Elsa and the blonde must have fallen for it because she simply nodded and looked around again. "She took Max and Sven so everything will be fine."

That was when Rapunzel should have shut her mouth, because her voice failed her and Elsa could hear the worry in it. She stared at her with those deep blue eyes and frowned. "Rapunzel...Where is Anna?" She asked more sternly now and clenched her fist.

"Okay, Elsa you can't get made or do anything stupid okay." This just caused the blonde to rage and glare at the brunette. "Where is she!?" she was almost screaming it at her, but her sick voice barely let her go higher than a soft yell.

"She went to get medicine for everyone on a supply run, but she will be back soon." Rapunzel wasn't even sure if she was telling the truth now, she didn't know when Anna would be back, it could be days. She looked at the hurt in Elsa's eyes and grabbed her pale hands.

"Look Elsa, she will be fine, she has the dogs with her and she isn't a weak little girl, Kristoff said she can handle herself so I belive she can." Elsa simply nodded and then pointed to the tent. "I'm going to go back to sleep now." and she turned to walk away.

She didn't want Rapunzel to see the fear and sadness in her eyes. She was already so sick of loosing people, and if Anna didn't come back, god she didn't even want to think about it. So she just lay down in her tent, wrapped Olaf up in her arms, and felt the warm tears sting her pale skin.
