  "Maybe I can go with you?" That was the last sentence he had heard from her before her death, it hasn't lasted twenty minutes since he left for to scavenge but this all happened, why? Why now? He could only ask crying on his knees as he stared at the undead walking towards him, it was his sister. He killed every other undead they had met why couldn't he muster up the courage to kill her, just why?, he picked up his handgun and aimed it at her, for several minutes he struggled with the trigger and finally he did it, the corpse fell, he fell alongside her,his eyes swollen with grief.

  Fists could be heard slamming against each other, Dave was bleeding from his nose. Zack too.

  They were still at it, avoiding a direct punch from Dave, Zack held his arm slamming it against his leg then ricochetted him towards a wall which Dave slammed against hard. Dave quickly stood rushing towards Zack attempting a spear but Zack was just too flexible and well trained, he ducked below Dave and as soon as he did he delivered another solid punch directly on Daves chest. Dave fell breathing hard, he had never been beaten this bad by anyone before, how was he losing?, why was he losing?, he couldn't get an answer to his question.

  "Get up" Zack urged angrily approaching Dave who still laid on the floor trying to catch his breath

  "I said GET UP!" Zack yelled lifting Dave and stareing into his eyes, his gaze were murderous and Dave knew he was going to die if they kept this up.

  "I'll ask one more time, what did you do to her?" Zack asked clenching his fist barely able to control himself and keep his composure.

  "Nothing ok *exhales*, nothing.............. You think I'll be able to hurt the woman I love?!"Dave replied with a yell. His answer had caught Zack by surprise as he instantly let him go without realizing it, Dave then took advantage, he quickly got on top of Zack delivering punches on his face repeatedly and each time he did he only repeate one sentence.

  "I love her, why would I do that!!, I've been searching for her for three goddamn months, and you attack me thinking I attacked her"

  He kept going until smoke had to force him off Zack who then sat on the floor stareing at dave, both were injured, and had several cuts on the face.

  "You?.....you love her?, what do you mean by that?"Zack asked, he had his thoughts still wrapped up on his reply, did he know her before she lost her memory?, was he really in love with her?, was he the one who hurt her?, he needed an answer and the guy Infront of him could give him just that.

  "So you know her enough to be in love with her?"Zack asked again

  "Know her?...........know her you ask?" Dave asked

  "I saved her............., I'm her comrade, and her friend, we've been through so much together" Dave answered exhaling rapidly, he slowly wiped out a trace of blood from his lip while still keeping his gaze fixed on Zack.

  "Then this was a misunderstanding?"Zack thought getting on his feet and walking towards Chloe who laid on unconscious on the floor.

  "so are you guys done or just preparing to go again?" Smoke asked, he had just stood there and watched them brawl without interfering or even raising a finger.

  They both apologized to each other and after some rest Dave told the crew how he had met Chloe, how Chloe joined alteras vultures and how she had gotten lost in action three months back, he also explained that he had done nothing to her but had only introduced himself to Chloe before she passed out.

  "Another great human encampment huh?"Zack thought, he was stareing at Chloe who had shown no signs of waking up, it was dark now and proceeding with their plan to travel west was on hold.

  "Don't worry Zack....I may have only known her for three days but I know she's fine...., she stronger than you think" smoke assured placing his arm on Zacks shoulder as a gesture of reassurance

  "Don't you dare say that man, you didn't do nothing while I was attachked this afternoon" Zack yelled annoyed

  "Basically you attacked him, hehehe, and I got no intention on fighting when I know I got nothing in for me, besides it wasn't my fight was it?" Smoke asked with a smile which irritated Zack the more.

  "Look, I've told you everything, and now you know she deserves to be with us,.........I have to take her back" Dave said

  "Back?.......back where?"Zack asked

  "Back home to altera where she belongs...., the more she stays out, the more danger she gets exposed to, In altera she'll be safe and her memories will surely come back to her, cuz she's basically been there all her life" Dave explained but Zack found his answer unsatisfying.

  "Screw that!!!, we're all exposed to danger since this fucking virus got spread, there is no safe place, and In no time your so called altera will be destroyed by what's to come, she can't go back there....., I won't let her go back" Zack replied

  "What's to come?............what the hell do you mean by that?" Dave asked but Zack said nothing, je had already said all he could and that was enough at the moment.

  "What's his trying to say is, you better get out of here, stay far away from the south as you possibly can, were doing the same too, heading west to avoid a massive horde" smoke explaimd in Zacks stead but Dave was still confused, what were they talking about?, what horde he thought, his expression was clear to them, he needed much more information than just that.

  "Escaping because of a horde?..... seriously what trash are you talking about?" Dave asked

  "Not just a horde bro....., the horde, it could take down your precious altera in the blink of an eye, same way it did to its predecessors" smoke Said his eyes filled with all seriousness
