Chapter 6- Season 1, Episode 3

Lexi had fallen asleep; it took a while due to the cold and separation form the only person she trusted. Danny was in a separate tent 20 metres away from Lexi, he was asleep too, but was shivering.

Lexi was in the middle of dream, mostly a reoccurring memory. It was the sight of her brother incapacitated and her aunt being shot. Lexi remembered something new; she remembered Porter standing on her porch doing nothing, but watching. She suddenly awoke with shock. She sat on the ground with her legs crossed. She looked over to Danny; he was asleep. Stretching out her legs she reached onto her jean's pocket and removed the note she stole off the captain's desk. She turned her back to the camp and Danny. She hid the note in her lap and read it;

Lexi's heart was pounding. She was so confused and was holding tears from running down her face. She only wanted to be held by Danny and talk to him, but she couldn't get to him without being seen.

Lexi sat in her own world for at least 30 minutes, until she heard something behind her. Quickly she turned around to see a man standing next to Danny beating him with a bag. Lexi Jumped up then fell over because of the cuffs. "Hey," She yelled at them. He turned around; it was the soldier from earlier. "Hey, stop it!" She screamed again. This time he stopped hitting Danny with the bag and left, bumping into another guard then walking around the corner. Lexi shuffled over to Danny, by the time she came over to him he was sitting up. She lifted her cuffed hands over his head and hugged him. She pulled him close and rested his chin on her shoulder. Lexi lifted her hands to head and smoothed the back of his air. She kissed his cheek and they lied down together and fell asleep. Lexi would tell Danny about the note tomorrow.

Danny and Lexi were still under the tent in each other's embrace. Lexi was still asleep, but Danny was awake just watching her. Most of the militia personal were asleep; it was still very early. Lexi's eyelids began to flutter open. She looked up at Danny who was smiling slightly down at her. She rubbed her face into his chest while Danny kissed the top of her head. Lexi sat up and stretched, Danny did the same. The two of them were sitting in others laps facing one another. Danny and Lexi were holding hands; it was more Lexi playing with Danny's hand. The teenagers looked up at each other. "So… What happened last night?" Danny asked Lexi. She looked back down at the ground not knowing where to start.

"You first, what happened with you and that psycho?" Lexi asked

"You head the conversation yesterday… he came back to punish me; as he put it," Danny muttered. Lexi looked over to the sunrise not knowing what to say. Her eyes hadn't adjusted to the daylight so she diverted her eyes from the bright light and looked back down. There was a silence. Danny spoke up again "What happened with you and that creep?" Lexi still didn't know how to put it, but she did know Neville was a creep and Monroe too. She had never seen or met him as far as she could remember, but from his letter she was beginning to question her kidnapping once again.

Lexi began to explain what happened and tell Danny everything she knew. She started with when she was taken to the captain's tent. "First they took me to Neville's tent, he was looking at a message he received from Monroe earlier. He asked me some weird questions. When I asked why he wanted to know these things he stopped asking and just wrote on the note and a second note occasionally looking at me. He then left with the second note; I guess he sent it back to Monroe."

Danny was worried about Lexi and what questions they asked her. "Did you see the note at all?"

Lexi looked around to see if anyone could see her. She moved closer to Danny and pulled out the note and gave it to him. He looked up at her and she nodded towards the note; encouraging him to unfold it. He opened it and read it silently. Once he finished he looked at her with worry and concern. Danny gave it back to Lexi and she read it again, this time with fresh eyes. It still sent shivers down her spine, but this time she had Danny there. She looked up at Danny and saw his protective expression. All sorts of scenarios were racing through Lexi's head; none of them positive. Her eyes began to fill with tears and her vision turned foggy. Danny felt the fear Lexi was and hugged her; wrapping his arms around her and comforting her. Lexi suddenly had a thought why they took her. Through the tears and breaking voice Lexi sat up and moved even closer to Danny so only he could hear her. Then she spoke "I think I might know why they want me…" Danny looked over at the young woman. She put her chin on his shoulder and whispered "I'm… I'm a rebel…" She moved away to see Danny's face; he looked confused.

"Wh-What does that mean?"

"When I was about 13, my uncle took my brother and me to a meeting outside the village in an abandoned shopping complex. It was a rebel meeting point. My brother and I never fought or anything, but we were raised with the knowledge of a time before the blackout and how they were going to return the era back to the United States of America." Danny looked at her; he didn't know what to say.

"That man who was shot a few days ago… he was a rebel," Danny stated.

"Yeah, but I didn't know him, but there were tones of us last time we were gathered. From what I heard though I don't think there are that many anymore," they both paused from a moment then Lexi continued. "There were all types of people there; young, old, fit, and weak; if you wanted a better future, you were there."

Lexi looked at Danny who still hadn't responded, she began to worry he thought less of her now. "I'm glad there's someone out there fighting for what's right," Danny said to her with a smile. If anything, he had more respect and admiration of her. Lexi smiled back relieved he still liked her.

Lexi continued talking about the people who she met there; it made her feel happier even though she probably wouldn't ever see them again. "I remember this priest who was in the group, Nicholas, he always had hope, but wasn't annoying like some people," Lexi laughed to herself she named a few more who were in the groups she befriended "Nicholas, Albert; best shooter I'd ever seen, Sam; Jaxon's best friend and there was Nora; last I saw of her she was trying to get captured to steal a riffle. Their probably all dead now," Lexi's feeling darkened. Danny put his hand on the side of her face and really looked at her; her eyes, the slight bags under her eyes from the sleepless nights, her high cheeks and her lips. He leaned in and pecked her on the lips, just he pulled away she leaned in and kissed him back. The two had only known each other for about a week, but had trust in each other like no one they'd ever met; except family. They locked lips for a passionate make out session. Both leaning into each other, every so offen opening their mouths, eventually they stopped. They nuzzled each other then looked out to the sunrise. Danny put his arm around Lexi and she rested her head on his shoulder. She looked up at his blonde hair and pale skin. Together they felt content, at least until everyone else woke up.
