(Jay's POV)
Some time has passed since I last collapsed, I don't know what happen but I felt Adam hit my chest hard and some other voices that I've never heard before. I woke up to see what had happened, I saw a man who was going to strike Adam again. When his fist was going to hit Adam again, I stopped it before the man's fist hit Adam. I let out a warning growl. The only time I got pissed was when a smoker tried something funny with Adam. The only thing right now that was causing him the pain was me crushing his hand. After Adam told me not to kill him, he helped me up,and the female of the group helped as well. I didn't know what was happening until they both sat me on the counter. Adam got on the counter next me and so I put my head on his lap. He played my hair while I smiled at him. The surviving group here helped get fix up our wounds. As they finished with Adam, they lifted up my sweatshirt and the facial expression on the female's face was cute. Her face turned bright red, she was blushing. What was making her face turn that red? Was me? I didn't really know.

Darkness came and invaded us like this disease, Adam, Alice and I took the first watch. I didn't really pay much attention to Adam. All my focus was towards Alice. Alice was leaning up against my arm, I guess she doesn't have a care in the world, or what's left of it anyway. She's not frightened that I'm an infected, she treats me like a human, like how Adam treats me. She grabs my arm and holds on tight. I didn't know what she was doing but I let out a little growl to warn her of her not trying something funny. "Hey Alice, I'll let you and Adam get to know each other better in a more private place." Said Adam. We both hit him, well she punched his arm and I slapped his face HARD. Adam turned around and just stayed in front of the sleeping group. "Maybe he's right, I would like to get to know you but I don't think you'll understand what I'm saying." I jumped down from the counter and headed towards Adam, I gave him the nod. "Don't be out too late Jay we will need some back up soon when we're going to start leaving again." I nodded to acknowledge his words. Before I headed to the door I motioned Alice to come with. She was a bit hesitant while she looked at her group and back at me. She got up and followed. "She's coming with?" Adam questioned. "We won't take long I promise, Jay and I will go look for more food. Alright, hurry back then." Alice left with Jay leading the both of them into the dark.
(Alice's POV)
I know I just met this hunter but seriously, he reminded me of my old boyfriend back in college. We loved doing things together, kicking ass on Xbox Live, winning a few games in MC Hunger games, life was good before the infection. Once every week he and I would do some free running in parks, cities, and where ever there was an obstacle. It was kinda weird to have an infected named the same as my old boyfriend. I knew he had a brother but I never met him. His physique was incredible, for a dead guy, and for some reason, he did look familiar. I guess what they say is true, you see your dead loved ones in people around you. "Jay, can I ask you a question?" He stopped and looked at me. " I was wondering if you remember anything from your past." He nodded and to my surprise he could speak pretty damn well, for a zombie that is. "I remember having someone like you in my life before." He stuttered the rest. "Th- this… feeling. Is it like we've met before?" He nodded. I got close to him and stopped him in his tracks, he was easily a foot taller than me. I put my hand on the side of his face. He was cold, but it was a dead give away, being dead does mean you have no body heat. He motioned me to get on his back, I looked around and saw nothing, so I hopped on his back. I immediately regretted it. I could feel his muscles, I have to say the sensation of it was incredible. The height and speed of this experience, it was something not to forget. We landed on top of an abandoned apartment building, the two of us quickly inside of it to find a room. "I can't believe it's actually you Jay. Where have you been?" I say after removing his hood. "Protecting the last family member I have." While giving me a kiss on the lips. I start to freak out. "I should not do this with a zombie, I mean seriously, it's a bit fucked up." He looked at me for what it seemed like forever. I stood there in his grasp, I didn't even realize that he kissed me again, when I realized it, it was more passionate than the last. I opened up my mouth and felt his warm tongue in my mouth. I tried to pull away, but he pulled me in closer, with a low growl with a mix of a purr. My heart raced and blood boiled. I could sense that he wanted me. As he went in for another kiss, I managed to kick him in the shin. He yelped in pain when he released me I stepped back and did a running start to kick him in his groin. He fell with a moan. I ran towards the market where Eric and the others were. "Almost there, I hope Jay doesn't try anything again." I ran to the door, but my attempts to escape the dead were futile. I felt the tongue of a smoker wrap around my body, with Jay on the ground due to me and the group sleeping, I had no help. I felt my breathing getting stolen out of my lungs. Everything was turning black the only thing I heard last was the smoker's cough getting louder and louder. As I got close to him, he held her down tight , and but me in my shoulder. It hurt like a son of a bitch, I tried to scream in pain, but my voice only came out as a raspy screech, barely audible for me to hear. I felt the blood trickling down my body. I felt him eating away at my neck. The zombie stopped and dropped me to stand its ground and defend its catch of day, me. He turned back to me, but he didn't kill me he only picked me up and brought me to the gas station where Eric, Travis , John and I stayed for a couple of days. He laid me down on the makeshift bed. What did he want? A snack? Or did he just want to infect me because he was lonely? I didn't know. I was just glad that I can finally die in peace now, I don't care that if I became one of them. At least, I won't have to worry about getting eaten. As I take my final breath, the memories of my family and the newly acquainted friends I made over this hell hole.

"That bitch! That really hurt." Wait, since when did I feel pain? I thought to myself for a bit, then shook that away. "Where did she run off to? Probably back to the group."I shook off the painful feeling in my leg and groin, after getting about fifteen yards where I got kicked, I could smell fresh blood. "Alice? ALICE! WHERE ARE YOU?" I ran towards the smell of fresh blood. As I was running to find her, I've been thinking on how I should apologize to her for making a move on her. Stopping at the fresh puddle of blood near the market, I made a quick look around near the perimeter of the building. Nothing. I went inside, "Jay what took so long? Where's Alice?" Adam said with a concerned look on his face. I went up to him and gave him a quick hug. "I don't know where she is, I'll go look for her and you keep your eyes peeled if she comes back okay." He nods in agreement. Heading towards the door, I looked at Adam's tired face. "I promise this won't take long." I headed out to go search for her. I started at the bloody trail leading off into the woods. Whatever this was, it had lost a lot of blood. Looking at the blood, a flashback of Adam when his face was almost torn off by me. "Please be alive, please be alive, please be alive. Alice If you can hear me, make any type of sound." I don't know how long I've been out here but it's almost day now, and Alice is nowhere to be found. Until I came up to the gas station. It was Shell, but the 'S' in the shell has fallen off onto the ground below. "Hell? Hm, hell is a bit of an understatement now. Looks like that the blood trail leads into a gas station. 'cough' A smoker's around here somewhere. "Alice? Is that you?" What shocked me was that Alice was still alive, well no not really. She's been turned into a smoker, and now I think she's still pissed at me. I know that she can't understand English anymore, but communicating with growls and barks is something that I can do. For about ten or fifteen minutes, we established that it was not safe for her to return to the group. "Alice I'm sorry." "For what? Making a move on me? It's okay Jay, I actually feel safe now. For once I don't have to worry about the infected trying to rip me to shreds." I smiled at her and gave her a hug, "Well Adam does miss you and I do as well. Basically, the entire group is worried sick." She looked at me for a while and called the other smoker at this place. The three of us stranded here for about ten or fifteen minutes just looking at each other. "Jay, did you find Alice yet?" I turned around to see that it was Adam, but what frightened me about him was that he was turning deathly pale. "Adam what happened?" Before he could respond, he only opened his mouth and collapsed before us.
