A/N: I hope the last chapter was to your liking, and I hope the following chapters will be to. Im going to start getting further into the story here. As always I don't own any of the Izombie characters but I do own Astrid. The title of this chapter is borrowed from a song by B.O.B named Airplanes. I got the idea for this chapter from that song.

Song inspiration: Airplanes, by B.O.B ft Hayley Williams (Paramore)

-Chapter 3- Airplanes in the night sky like shooting stars-

Liv sat on the couch staring at her hands as tears streaked her face. "I don't know what to do guys, I should have told her." Ravi looked at Liv and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Liv even if you had there was a chance she still would have reacted the same way." Peyton nodded. "He's right, I mean its not everyday you hear that your cousin is a zombie." Liv sniffled. "I know I just…I know I hurt her a lot and I didn't want to do that." she said looking up. Peyton smiled at her gently. "She just needs time, she'll come around." Ravi scowled in thought. "Why was Blaine here?" Peyton rolled her eyes at the thought of the man. "He said he was just dropping off Astrid's wallet, apparently she had dropped it." Liv looked at Peyton confused. "Why would he care if she dropped her wallet?" Ravi looked at Liv. "You don't think he's planning something do you?" Liv was quiet but Peyton and Ravi could see the anger on her face.

The rain was pouring hard and the sky was darkening as people rushed to their cars and to their homes to get to the awaiting warmth. Astrid was lost in thought and anger as she stared off in the distance, the rain was cold on her skin but she didn't even notice. She watched the people rush around in the rain as she stood under a tree on the street corner. She was about to turn and go back to the apartment building when she heard someone call her name. She peered around the tree trunk and saw it was Ravi. She scowled and hurried down the street before he saw her. She didn't want to be forced back to the apartment, she wanted to back on her own terms. She just didn't understand why Blaine was so dangerous and why the fuck her cousin kept such a big secret from her. If Blaine was so dangerous then why was he so nice to her? If her cousin was trying to protect her then she should of told her she was a zombie.

Astrid walked down the side walk in a complete daze. Her mind kept wandering back to the argument between her and Liv. She had been to hard on Liv, she knew that. But Liv was wrong to keep what she was a secret. As Astrid walked along in thought she didn't hear the person following along behind her. Suddenly a hand clamped over her mouth and someone drug her into an alley. Astrid kicked and fought as the best she could. Her capture shoved her against a brick wall still covering her mouth and she saw who it was. The guy was a dirty smelly homeless guy, his hair was so dirty that if Astrid was asked to give a description, she wouldn't know if his hair was naturally brown or if it was suppose to be blonde. What terrified her was the fact that the guys eyes were blood red, and there were veins underneath them.

The homeless guy smiled revealing rotten teeth, and Astrid could smell rancid breath. "Quit struggling!" The homeless guy snapped. He went to restrain Astrid and his nails dug into her shoulder breaking the skin. Astrid cried out in pain. "Please let me go!" She pleaded in tears. The homeless guy smiled and grabbed her by the throat. "Not a chance!" The homeless guy jerked her forward and slammed her back into the wall causing Astrid to smack her head on the wall violently. Astrid slumped to the ground in a daze, her vision clouding over in a haze. "HEY!" The homeless guy looked up just in time for another guys fist to connect with his face. The homeless guy flew back into the side of a dumpster bending the side of it inward. The homeless guy got up with a snarl and stood his ground. "I know who you are, Im not afraid of you!" He snarled. "If you know who I am then you know what I can do to you!" The other guy shot back. The homeless guy charged the other guy head on. Astrid was fading in and out, the last thing she saw as she went unconscious was the body of the homeless guy slumping to the ground with a blade sticking out of his head.

Pain. Thats all. Pain. Astrid awoke with a splitting headache, a headache brought on by the fact that the damn bandage around her head was wrapped to tight. She laid there for a moment trying to remember what the hell happened. After a moment everything came flooding back, every terrifying detail. Astrid sat up and looked around. She was laying on a roll away bed that was stationed in an office, a very posh looking office to boot. She looked down at herself, and seeing the fact she wasn't wearing her own clothes sent her into a rage. She got up and ran over to the door and went to open it, but the door didn't budge…It was locked.

"HEY! LET ME OUT!" Astrid hollered as she pounded on the door. "HEY! IS ANYONE THERE!?"

She heard the lock click and she backed away from the door as it opened revealing the owner of the office. "Hey sleeping beauty how is that head of yours?" Blaine said smiling at her. Astrid stood there floored. "Blaine? Wha? How?" "Well maybe you should sit down first." Blaine offered gesturing over to a couch that Astrid hadn't seen. Astrid walked over and sat down on the couch and looked at him. "Your the one who saved me?" She asked trying to recall everything. Blaine sat down next to her. "Yeah." Astrid looked down at her clothes then gave Blaine an accusing look. "My clothes?" Blaine smirked. "Well as much as I would have loved to…No, I had one of my female workers change you into some dry clothes. And Im sorry about the lack of fashion sense." He stated gesturing to the Hello Kitty t-shirt and the Mighty Mouse pajama pants. Astrid nodded and smiled slightly. "Yeah I don't think your taste runs along a japanese cat and a super hero mouse." She went to reach up with her right hand to remove the bandage but a sharp pain shot through her shoulder. "Damn!" She hissed rubbing her shoulder. "Um there is something that I need to tell you." Blaine said gently. Astrid looked at him curiously. "What?" Blaine stood up and held out his hand to her. Astrid took it, and Blaine led her over to a full length mirror. When Astrid saw her reflection she about fell over. Her once long onyx colored hair was streaked with white, and her once honey brown eyes looked more gold. "Whats happening to me?!" "The guy that attacked you was a zombie, when he scratched your shoulder…He infected you." Blaine explained. "But I didn't die! I have to die for the infection to take hold!" Astrid pleaded. "When you hit your head, you hit it hard enough to cause a brain bleed….You stopped breathing." Blaine said gently. Astrid turned to him tears in her eyes. "What do I do?" She cried. "I was mad that Liv didn't tell me what she was, was so harsh to her and now this? Is this what karma is?!" Blaine looked at her for a moment. The pain and anger was evident in her face. Before he knew what was happening Astrid swung a fist at the mirror, the sound of glass shattering echoing throughout the office. "Hey!" Blaine hollered grabbing Astrid and pulling her against him. Astrid turned in his arms and buried her face in his shoulder and cried. "It'll be okay…" Blaine promised. "Lets go get your hand bandaged…"

_Next time in Zombie Angel_

Astrid stood outside the apartment door nervously looking at the door handle. "Its okay Astrid, Im right here." Blaine assured her as he took her hand gently. Astrid looked at him and smiled lightly. "Thank you." She opened the apartment door and stepped inside, Blaine following after her. Liv looked up from looking at her phone. "Astrid? Oh my god where were you!?" She asked, then her eyes shifted to Blaine. "Why are you here?" Astrid stepped between Blaine and Liv. "Liv…" She said gently stepping into the kitchen light. Liv looked at her and it finally dawned on her the appearance of her cousin. "Oh my god…"
