Someone You Used To LOVE

On The Way Back

We collected all the weapons and food in that was left in this shit hole that my fake mother was hiding, while Ben led me to a room up towards the top of the stairs that we entered and saw a huge military vehicle. I took a deep breath walking to it and looking inside to see some more guns and food and threw some more bags in the back. Ben grabbed some cans of gas also putting it in the back and took a deep breath as he turned toward me.
"i think thats about everything. I got all the guns food and gas i could. This should last us for a good while to wherever we are going." i shook my head about to get in the driver side but he stopped me shaking his head.
"No way doll just get in the passenger side and tell me where to go." i rolled my eyes in frustration but obeyed what he said and got in the passenger seat, while he shut the door on my side. He returned to his side of the door and got in the vehicle as the door closed behind him. He pushed a button on the military visor and the doors in front of us opened slowly showing the hot red sun above and the desert in front of us.
The sun felt real nice on my face, I closed my eyes taking a moment to actually just relax as Ben drove. Feeling the car sway back and forth instantly put me into a deep and dark sleep.
*music softly playing in the background, Claire da lune*
I woke to the soft music playing ever so gently in the background. I looked around noticing I was in a very large room, the walls were covered in gold and beautiful wood. I looked down at myself seeing I was wearing this beautiful green long dress that seemed to flow past my feet. I slowly stood up feeling dazed and foggy like I had been drugged by someone. I slowly made my way over to the this fairly long mirror that was neatly placed in the corner of the largely boxed room and when I looked at my reflection, I nearly gasped at the site. It was me, but It was as if I was the undead now. My skin falling apart, my lower jaw was missing showing my tongue hanging out my mouth,  my skin was a dark grey color from the decomposition of my unjustly oxygen that was no longer going to my skin. I went to step back from the mirror no longer wanting to see my horrific face when I bumped into something....or someone from the feeling from it.
I turned around slowly seeing a dark figure stand behind me and until i looked up fully it was Dimitri, but there was something about his eyes that seemed so off and the plain and obvious was they were cherry red. I slowly backed up not knowing what was going on, but in that moment Dimitri smiled and reached his hand out to me and spoke. His voice so inviting and deep making me want to follow him and take his hand. But something told me not to as i stepped back, grabbing my dress, trying to find my voice to speak, but nothing came out but a scratchy voice.
"What's going on? Where am i?" Dimitri came closer, his black clothing showing his muscles and his hard features in his face as he came and gently grabbed my chin looking own at my neck. He took a deep breath, his eyes looking back into mine as a strange smile appeared on his face.
"It's time for you to come home princess, I'm waiting for you." His voice began to echo all around us, everything slowly slipping away, my vision getting dark around me as if i was falling in a pit of darkness, but the last thing i saw was his red eyes staring deep into my soul.
*Hours Later*
A dull ache in my head began to surface as i came to be, wherever i was. I opened my eyes slowly, my vision blurred and unstable as I looked around, calling out for Ben as someone grabbed my hand gently causing me to jump instantly as i turned my head towards them as my vision seemed to steady and clear out and i notice is was Dimitri, holding my hand with tears in his eyes. I sighed deeply feeling a moment of release and touched his face gently as he leaned into my hand and closed his eyes. His eye still had a massive bruise on it and he looked in worse shape than i did but he was till managing to sit up.
"I was so mad at you, i thought i lost you in defiantly....." He mumbled through kissing my hand gently making me blush instantly. Dimitri looked up at me with his beautiful green eyes he slowly sitting up on the bed with me as we just stared at each other for what seemed like forever, just enjoying each other's company and being so happy to be back with each other.
"When i saw that man walking through the gates with you in his arms....I'm not going to lie Tavia...i almost lost it and tried to kill him..But Damon stopped me and brought me back showing me that you were alive...But then Ben told me he was a friend of yours and said you defeated you're mother? How on earth did you do that? She was so powerful Octavia when i saw her...she was doing things i didn't even know was possible..."
I cleared my throat not really wanting to go in full detail about the other world just yet, knowing even down to her knowledge of it was down right terrifying but she knew she had to give him something.
"It wasn't really my mother, it was a zombie that took on her form...A mutated zombie that had strange abilities that something that the government had worked on here in this worl...and Dimitri there is more of these zombies...We need to warn everyone. Where's everyone?" I asked looking around, wanting to get up but Dimitri put his arms around me gently and pulled me close to him as he hugged me tightly.
"Can you just give me a couple minutes like this please....i was just living like i just lost you....and you don't know what that can do to a person.."I closed my eyes leaning my body into him more, my arms wrapping around his waist as i laid my head into his shoulder, we just sat there for 10 minutes or so before a knock interrupted are thoughts. We both looked up to see Damon walking in, his eyes looking at Dimitri in a way i never thought i would see...Jealousy... But it was there for a couple seconds and then it was washed away with a sigh.
"I see you're finally up, it's good to have you back..." He came in as Dimitri slowly helped me to my feet as Damon embraced me into a hug immediately, making that spark hit back in my chest as i hugged him back, closing my eyes. I heard a unstable shift in Dimitris presence so I pulled away from Damon and shook my head.
"I need to warn everyone...there is these weird mutated zombies coming our way I saw them..."
Damon looked at me in concern as the door opened behind me and Raven was walking through, her face looking gentle and soft which brought a confused look to my face.
"I see you're just fine...that's good..." Raven spoke softly and went to Damon's side and looked at Dimitri.
"What is she going on about? Mutated zombies? We already knew about them, I'm pretty sure you've seen Nick right?" I rolled my eyes in confusion and spoke in a annoyed tone.
"No shit, I'm saying that these mutated zombies are coming are way..to Harvard..it's like they have gathered and are actually hunting us..we need to move everyone..."
Raven laughed out loud obnoxiously as Damon rolled his eyes in frustration. Dimitri spoke looking at me, putting his arm around my waste as he spoke.
"What do you mean Tavia? How do they know where we are?"
I sighed shaking my head, not wanting to speak the worlds that probably was going to make everyone hate me but might possibly cause the lives of 100 of people.
The lady who took Dimitri, she controlled them somehow and she did something where they know where we are and we have to do something before they come.."
Raven threw her hands up in a annoyed manner, as she walked out the room, while Damon's brown eyes stared at me very closely as I could see the wheels turning in his head trying to come up with a way to stop this.
"We need to leave and get everyone out Damon, there's gotta be more places out there like this is t there?"
Damon shook his head leaning against the wall as Dimitri spoke.
"There really isn't nothing left Tavia..everything either had been destroyed by the dead or the nuclear bombs..this is the only thing standing..."
I sighed deeply putting my hands to my head as I heard the door open causing me to look up and seen Ben was entering. He was wearing a jet black outfit with his dreads hanging freely in front of him.
"It's nice to see you're awake Octavia, but time is the essence and you guys probably should either leave or find a way to fight cause on the way here I saw some of them grouping up a little more than 10 miles away from here..so I would say you have a day and a half to prepare or leave.." he muttered and walked over to me touching my face with a smile.
"You feeling better? You did sleep the whole way here." He chuckled. I sighed shaking my head as Dimitri spoke looking at Damon.
"How are we gonna fight a bunch of mutated zombies? We barely got ammunition or anything." I looked up smiling as I looked back at Ben.
"We did bring all the ammunition and guns that was left at Mary's underground thing, shouldn't that do something?"
Damon sighed looking at all of us as he spoke swiftly.
"I don't think it's gonna do much, but all we can do is try.."
