It wasn't long before the truck came into view for Claire and Carlos but Alice just thought they were running towards a rock until it moved toward them.

"You let K-mart drive?" Alice asked raising an eyebrow as they slowed to a walk watching the truck get closer.

"Well if we didn't… Y'know come back I told her to get out of here no point in us all dying," Claire replied as the truck pulled up beside them and K-mart jumped out engine still running and flung herself at both of them.

"I was starting to think you'd become zombie food," She said in a happy voice smile on her face, "Good to see you in one piece," She said straight to Alice before moving on to give Carlos a quick hug.

"Right let's get going umbrella still know we're here so the quicker we're not here the better," Carlos said jumping in the driver's side K-mart followed suit climbing into the passenger seat leaving Claire and Alice in the back not that they were complaining.

Claire opened the door and let Alice climb in and slide over to the far side before getting in herself shutting the door and releasing a deep breath. "Any better," She asked turning to look at Alice who was facing out the window as they gained speed across the desert floor. The only reply she got was a shake of the head not even a turn of the head she sighed softly knowing that Alice would hate the disadvantage and think herself vulnerable without her sight. "Don't worry just give it some time," Claire tried to reassure her as she spread over the back seat resting her head on Alice's lap.

Alice finally looked down at her one of her hands immediately started running through Claire's hair as she leant down and placed a soft kiss on her temple. "As long as I have you I don't care," She whispered softly. She knew it would bother her if her sight never returned fully but what she said was true Claire mattered to her so much more. Sitting back she let her eyes drift shut feeling Claire take hold of her free hand and entwine their fingers. It wasn't long before they were both asleep.

Waking up was like being reborn first the sounds that invaded her ears seemed louder and sharper than she remember sound ever being. Then the smells there was something distinctly new but familiar about the smell in the air like she'd smelt it before but long ago almost a lost memory in the back of her mind trying to tell her what it was. It was at this point she decided to test her eyes surely after sleeping her sight should have returned to a fully functioning sense. Slowly opening her eyes she was blinded and found herself covering them with the back of her hand trying to stop the lights assault on her sensitive retinas. After a few seconds of vigorous blinking to allow her eyes to adjust she found herself staring at the ceiling of the hummer she remember climbing into before falling asleep. Looking round a smile crossed her face as she acknowledged the clear 20/20 vision she had been used to all her life. The smile didn't last long however as glancing round her eyes fell on nothing but an empty car, not what she was hoping to find.

Slowly climbing out the back of the vehicle she stretched herself out feeling the stiffness in her muscles slowly residing as she wondered how long she'd been out. Her jaw dropped as her eyes fell on her surroundings, grass. It'd been so long since she had seen anything but sand covering the ground under her feet that she actually rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't imagining her current surroundings. Nope still there fresh green grass it was definitely a site she was happy to see.

"Alice!" she had half turned towards the voice she was over the moon to hear when the source crashed into her wrapping her arms so tightly round her Alice had to admit it hurt a little.

"Hey, could you maybe loosen off a touch kinda need to breathe," Alice whispered to Claire as she snaked her own arms round the redhead the best she could at such an awkward angle.

"Sorry," Claire replied sheepishly. "It's just you've been out for a while as in two days a while, I was worried about you."

"It's okay I unde- Wait! Two Whole DAYS?!" Alice replied having finally heard what Claire had said to her.

"Yeah I know and man do you snore," Claire teased nudging Alice on the arm as she leant up and place a peck on her lips.

"Mmm I could get used to that," Alice hummed as she leant her forehead against the shorter womans.

"Oh yeah?" Claire questioned as she wrapped her arms round Alice's neck pulling her lips in for another quick kiss.

"Yeah," Alice replied bluntly as she pulled Claire in with her arms that she had snaked around her waist almost unnoticed. "But maybe a bit more like this…" She continued as she planted her lips back over the redheads where the fit so well and this time deepened the kiss before it could be ended too quickly.

"Eww get a room," K-mart said as she walked up to the pair who quickly snapped apart though only their lips as neither seemed willing to let the other go. "she's been awake what two minutes and you're already playing tonsil tennis I thought you'd have more will power Claire." She teased as Claire glared at the blonde.

"Am glad you don't," Alice whispered so only Claire could hear and she watched as the glare faded away leaving a subtle happy expression in its place.

"Come on guys dinners just started," K-mart said a small smile gracing her lips as she watched the two.

They followed K-mart hand in hand towards the truck where they could see Carlos passing out tins to the members of the convoy that were gathered round him. I can live like this Alice couldn't help think to herself as she glanced at the Claire walking beside her.

Okay I know it's not the best ending AND it took me forever to write it BUT atleast I'm finishing it right? Anyway if anyone reads this I hope its not too disappointing I always find ending things the hardest part.
