Thomas watched as the oldest of his two daughters played with some of the children below. It was already two weeks since JT's team had come back without Vincent and since that day Catherine has been having nightmares. She was scared to go to sleep now, scared of the nightmares that refused to leave her alone. Waking from a nightmare was an everyday occurrence for the survivors that lived in the warehouse they no longer got scared or panic when someone woke up screaming, not even if that person was their new leader. Thomas sighs before returning to keep watch.
After the third day that Vincent had gone missing Catherine had gather everyone placing them in equal groups without separating family members and had a guardian as the head of each group, after she had done this Catherine had grab a group of man and women making them 'walk the fence' as she call it. Every hole, any broken link, any place that had missing fence was to be reported so that it could be fixed. Now, looking through his binoculars, Thomas was glad that she had done it. The north side fence had several links that were cut creating a hole that was big enough for someone to go through. The hole had been fix a week ago and thank god (if there still was a god) that it was fix for there was a herd of 10 infected near the north fence.
"What do you think," Thomas heard Andrew ask. "Should we call them in?"
"Are you crazy?" Thomas said "There is a herd of infected near the fence, of course we call them in!"

She was about 5 months pregnant and her youngest step-daughter 4 ½. This was not the world that Brooke had first imagined her baby being born into when she first found out she was pregnant, nor was this the life she wanted her child to grow up in. Living a life in fear in an overcrowded warehouse with not enough food to eat or clean water to drink. Brooke sighs and looks at the children that were playing in the grown-ups keeping an eye on them. Was this how her child would look like all skin and bone?
Sterling, who had been one of the other two pregnant women, had a miscarriage few days ago her body could no longer sustain pulse her and her unborn child. This is what scares Brooke and she is beginning to have nightmares of losing her baby in either a miscarriage or of the infected eating him alive when he's born. But, I guess, she was lucky that she had Thomas by her side and ever the nightmares came and that was something she could not say for the others in the warehouse.
She jumped when a rock was throw at her feet. She looked around to see who had thrown it and when another landed at her feet she looked up to find Thomas looking down at her.
"Catherine," Brooke called her stepdaughter and good friend when she saw Thomas giving it a thumbs down.
"Everyone inside," Catherine shouted. "There are infected nearby!"

It was about two weeks ago that they found the man, or was it that the man had found them. The man had passed out due to the loss of blood from the large cut in his arm. They had gone out and had brought him in knowing how risky it was if this stranger turned out to be infected. With their weapons aimed at the unconscious man Evan Marks began to undress him checking for any bite marks. It had scared everyone in the room when the stranger's cut, once it had been clean, began to quickly heal itself leaving nothing but a scar. Once this piece of information got out to the rest of the survivors in the building they became scared, some wanted to throw the man out others wanted to have him immediately killed, all believing that what the man had was a new mutation of the plague.
Joe Bishop, the leader of this group of survivors, gave the order for the man to be tied to the bed and if he began to show the symptoms kill him before the plague does. Joe had seen it happen, seen the plague kill, and seen it bring back the dead. The one that was bitten but not eaten would suffer flue like symptoms that became worst with each hour that pass. It takes three days for the plague to kill you and once you're dead it took from three minutes to 5hours for it to bring you back to "life". The man never showed any symptoms and he has not woken yet.
"He's in a sort of coma" Evan had said few days ago when Joe had asked him "cause by the loss of so much blood."
Joe wasn't a doctor nor was he one before the plague; he had once been a police captain before becoming the chief of police and in his many years as a police Joe had learn how to tell when someone was telling a lie. And Evan was lying or at least not telling the whole truth. Joe entered the room that was being used as a makeshift hospital Evan had gone out with a group of men to look for food and medicine eating Julio Mendez a rookie cop before the plague to guard the man. Julio put down the book that he was reading when he saw him enter.
"How is he?" Joe asked looking at the man tied to the bed.
"I'm no doctor but I think he is coming out of the coma," Julio said.
"Why do you think that?'
"For the past half an hour he's been calling out for someone a woman named Catherine."

A/N: so what do you think? Do you like this chapter or could I have made it better? For all of you who don't know the previous chapter was a nightmare, Catherine's nightmare and I had fun writing it.
Who's that man?
Will Catherine's nightmare come true?
Will the guardians mutate once more? (Ok I need a bit of help on this one. I keep imagining the guardians getting wings or at least Vincent, what you think?)
P.S: before you get mad let me tell you that I did a bit of research and it is true that you could go into coma from loosing a lot of blood. If this is wrong then blame the internet.
