Draculaura and Mia were driving, they had found an abandoned car while searching for food and surpisinly it still had gas in it. they had to take Clawdeen with them since everyone else were going to places with ferals to find better supplies

Mia: your a pretty good driver

Draculaura: I know. remember when we found that other car a couple years ago? Selena taught me

Mia: well then she was a good teacher

Draculaura: I still don't understand why we couldn't have picked an automatic 

Mia: because not every car is an automatic

she turned to look at Clawdeen who was playing with her shoe

Mia: how you doing kid?

Clawdeen: Good!

Mia: that's good

Draculaura: I wish the heater wasn't broken, it's getting cold

Mia: again, Florida! nice and warm there. it would be like summer every day

Draculaura: no kidding, it's freezing outside! the sooner, the better

Mia: no more winter's ever again!

Mia looked back at Clawdeen

Mia: we can teach her how to hunt, how to fish, how to swim, we'll watch the sunrise every morning, like a family.

Draculaura: I love how your bonding with Clawdeen. I'm surprised she hasn't called you mama yet

Mia chuckled

Mia: but anyway, we should head back and maybe leave in a couple days, or it's gonna be too cold to do anything. go back

Draculaura put the car in reverse, then turned around and started driving again.

Mia: maybe someday, you can teach me to drive and little Clawdeen

Draculaura: when she's older of course *chuckle* and I'd be happy to teach you

she looked in the mirror back at Clawdeen who smiled

Clawdeen: Hi Mommy!

Draculaura: hello baby- where's your blankie furball?

Mia sighs, unbuckles herself and digs around the backseat for it

Mia: you gotta start talking to us kid, who knows how long you went without a blanket

Clawdeen: sowwy...

Mia: don't apologize kid, you're not in trouble

Draculaura hit something and lost control of the car

Draculaura: CRAP!

Mia helped hold on the steering wheel as the car swerved left and right

Mia: Turn The Wheel!

Draculaura did and they crashed into a tree, attracting ferals. Draculaura opened her eyes and touched her forehead, it was bleeding. she heard Clawdeen's cries and snapped her head toward her

Draculaura: Clawdeen!? oh God, you're Okay! Mia?

she saw the passenger seat empty and what she saw, made her heart stop. Mia was thrown out the window and was lying in a pool of blood on the ground about 5 feet where the car was

Draculaura: MIA!!!!

Draculaura left the car and ran toward Mia who was still alive but in pain

Draculaura: Shit! Are You Okay, Mia?!

Mia: I'm Fine! *groan* I'm fine...

she struggled to sit up

Mia: is.. is Clawdeen okay?

Draculaura nodded

Mia: shit.. help me..

Draculaura grabbed her hand and tried pulling her up but Mia screamed so Draculaura let her go

Mia: Ugh! M-My Leg! I-I think it's... I think it's broken

Draculaura: shit...

Mia: I Can't Get Up! Damn It!

Draculaura: Just Give Me A Second To Think!

Mia: I can do this..

she tried to get up but it hurt to much

Mia: Shit!

they turned around and saw ferals pounding on the car windows as Clawdeen looked at them

Mia: Hey! Get Away From Her!

they heard her and began running at her

Mia: Get Clawdeen and Run! I Will Not Let You Two Lose Your Minds!

Draculaura: No! I'm Not Giving Up!

she grabbed Mia's hand but Mia threw her to the ground

Mia: Go Now! Don't Look Back!

Draculaura shut her eyes tightly and ran to the car, opened the door, picked up Clawdeen and began running away, hearing Mia's screams

Draculaura: *tears* Clawdeen... *sniffle* D-Don't Look Back! It's Okay...

2 DAYS LATER

Draculaura was walking with Frankie on one of their usual walks.

Frankie: still upset?

Draculaura: of course, we lost Mia!

Frankie: she wanted to save you and Clawdeen.

Draculaura: I know it's just.. I could have done something!

Frankie grabbed her hand

Frankie: there was nothing you could have done! it happened, you know how you get when your this upset, just don't take your anger out on Clawdeen

Draculaura: I won-

Frankie: I'm serious Draculaura! first it's yelling, what if you get so mad that you punch her?

Draculaura: I'd never do that! she's my baby and I love her more than anything!

Frankie: I know, just promise you will keep tabs on your anger?

Draculaura: promise

Frankie: good

they kissed each other when they heard noises. and like they guessed, ferals came running out

Frankie: get a branch, you know what to do

Draculaura grabbed a branch and stuck it in one's eye. Frankie wrestled with one but that got both of them rolling down a hill

Draculaura: Shit! Frankie! Hang On!

Frankie scooted away as he feral tried jumping at them but they found a knife on the ground and stabbed it's head just as Draculaura made it down

Draculaura: that was too close!

she helped Frankie up and they hugged. 

Draculaura: come on, we can get out this way.

while walking they were talking

Draculaura: I was so worried back there. but you handled yourself. it just happened so fast, you could have lost your mind

Frankie: I'm sorry, I don't like it when you worry about me.

Draculaura: it's okay babe, you're safe, I'm safe. no one got hurt.

they continued walking through the forest

Draculaura: I don't know what I would do on my own, or if I'm raising Clawdeen by myself

Frankie: we just need to be extra careful to make sure we and she's okay. and you will always have me, I'll never leave.

Draculaura: good, I need you. I need you so much, so does Clawdeen.

Frankie: listen, if something ever happens to me, look out for Clawdeen.

Draculaura: and you do the same if something happens to me

Frankie held Draculaura's hand

Frankie: I promise...
