Chapter 8
"Matt!" Matt got up and hugged Alice. "I'm so glad you're here! When the doctors let me leave I looked for you everywhere!"
"When I woke up there weren't even doctors in there." The girl told him.
"Oh I have something I need to tell you! The doctors picked up Rain, she was in a bed next to me. Unfortunately I don't know if she's alive or not, but her heart was still beating."
Alice put her hands on her mouth and tears started coming out of her eyes, Rain could be alive.
"Alice are you okay?" Matt held Alice's hand and she put her head in his shoulder.
"Rain..." Alice mumbled. "I need to know where she is, Matt, please, do you have any idea?"
"I don't know Alice, she could be anywhere."
This world is huge, Rain could be dead or on the other side of the planet.
"Guys we're landing on Arcadia." The girl flying the helicopter said.
"Arcadia?" Alice asked.
"It's a ship, there's no infection in there. We'll be safe in there, who knows, maybe Rain's there!" Matt told her.
"I... If she's not in there I'll leave."
"Alice, why?"
"I don't want to keep living without her, it hurts too much. I'll spend my life looking for her."
"Then I'll go with you."
"What?"
"Rain was one of my bestfriends, I miss her too, and I want to find her. I'll help you."
"Thanks..."
The helicopter landed on the ship and everyone got out.
"What's your name?" A girl asked.
"Alice."
"Follow me, I'll show you your room. You'll have a roommate, though."
"Wait! Do you know someone called Rain Ocampo?" The girl checked on her name's list the letter R.
"Hum, sorry, there's no Rain."
Fuck. I'm so tired of this shit. Alice thought and walked to Matt.
"Rain's not here. I'm going to leave."
"Please, lets just stay here for a day, they have food, I really need to eat."
"Okay, only one day."
"So, how do we escape this place?" Matt asked.
"The ship will stop in some city, when the doors open for people to get in, we get out."
"But they will notice."
"Then we run."
5 hours later
"Alice, I see land! Prepare yourself, we'll have to run." They walked to the doors and waited for them to open.
"Okay get ready." Alice said. The door opened and a crowd started to walk into the ship, it made it harder for them to leave. The blonde and Matt started running.
"Where do you two think you're going?!" An employee from Arcadia shouted and the two kept running.
"I think they're not coming after us." Alice told Matt.
"Okay so where do we go now?" He asked.
"We go to random places and just find people."
The two walked for more than 3 hours, suddenly they heard shots and ran after the noise. Luckily Alice was wearing a cape full of guns.
"Lets go!" Alice shouted. There was a man shooting some zombies, but the zombies ended up bitting him.
"Help me..." The man said.
"He's infected, there's no way he'll survive." Matt told the blonde. The man closed his eyes and Alice shot him in the head, it was better this way. She checked his pockets and stole his bullets.
"Look." Matt said. "He has some sort of map." Matt grabbed the map and saw the directions to a little village. "Maybe there are people in there."
"Then lets go." Alice said.
They walked for hours. The two always stopped in some restaurants to see if anyone was there, or to steal food and go to the bathroom.
"Hello?" Alice shouted. No one was in the street. "Maybe they're inside the houses. We're survivors, anyone out there?" The blue eyed girl shouted. "Fuck this shit. I'm not even sure where I am, there's no one in here. I'll never find Rain."
"Alice, be positive. She could be here."
"But she also could be fucking dead." Alice sat down on the floor, closed her eyes and started to imagine Rain smiling. "I miss her so much..."
"Do you still want to find her?"
"I'll never stop looking for her, never."
"Okay then you should get up, lets walk to the airport, if there's even an airport in this city." Matt said. "Come on."
5 years later
"Do you think we should land in this place?" Alice asked.
"I don't know, Alice. The ice could break and the plane could drown." Matt said.
"It's worth the risk."
