Haileys Pov

I open my eyes to black smoke and rubble.

I blink to remove the burning in my eyes.

I cough as the smoke Trys to choke me to the death.

"Kevin..Caiyden" I whisper roughly

I'm suprised that my voice is back.

I get up but wobble slightly as I pick up my stuff.

I look around and notice rubble and flames licking at the skys.
I stare in shock at what use to be the prison.

As I'm starting to walk as I notice the true trauma.

Everything was actually gone and walkers were everywhere.

I feel tears fill my eyes.

What if daryl got hurt?
What if Caiyden was caught in an explosion?
What about poor Kevin?

All this what ifs kept me worried and scared.

"Rick...Carl.." I whisper

No answer.

I finally gave up on calling them so I decided to leave this graveyard.

I turn around and don't see anyone.

Everything's gone and now I'm back out in this cruel world alone.

"Hailey!!" Shouts a voice
I look around but I feel something wrap around me.

I notice it being arms.

"I-I thought you died but I can't find Kevin" whispers a crying Caiyden

"What do you mean.." I whisper in worry

"He's gone. I searched everywhere" Crys Caiyden

I hug Caiyden and kiss his forehead.

"Lets go, we can't be here" I whisper

Caiyden nods and turns away from the burning ember as we make our way towards the outer world again.

+++

I was finally able to regain my voice after a few more hours.

"Caiyden...we'll find him" I say in hope

"But what if he's-"

"No!" I shout

I turn him towards me and make him look me in the eyes.

"That sweet little boy is going to be found. We'll see him again and he'll survive" I say as I stare into his eyes

Caiyden looks to the ground but I pull him into a kiss because it just seemed right.

"Lets find somewhere to stay" says Caiyden

I nod and walk towards a house in the distance.

Few minutes later...

We tuck ourselves in as the sun starts to set and we finally cleared up.

"Caiyden...I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to be with you two. Especially now" I say as I turn towards Caiyden

"Hailey, don't beat yourself up. At least you made it through the disease. Your strong" says Caiyden

"Thanks to you. I'm alive and its just luck that kept me going" I say

"No Hailey, look, I love you and I don't know how much longer me and you will live but I want to live to the fullest with the love I have with you and-"

I cut him off by kissing him intently.

"Just shut up" I say as our kiss intensifies.

I didn't know why but I just had a reason to do this with Caiyden.
To me it was seeming right and good everywhere but something else wanted me to stop but I ignored because I knew that I was dieing some day.

One hour later...

"Hailey..." Whisper Caiyden
"Yea?" I answer

"What if we don't find Kevin and he comes back as them" says Caiyden

"Then we do what we always had to do but he's strong and will survive so calm down." I say

Caiyden nods and turns away from me.

"I'll take first watch" I say as I put my clothes on and walk out of the house.

I sit on a chair outside as I feel sadness.

The fact of not seeing anyone again was going to kill me.

I'm dozing off when I hear a rustling.

I turn towards the noise and walk towards it as I ready my gun.

I push through the bushes and notice a boy with a gun in his hand.

"Kevin.." I whisper

The boy turns around immediately and i know it's the little brother of Caiyden.

I run towards him and start to pull him into a hug but everything dissolves in mid air and I'm suddenly awakened.

"What the hell?" I whisper as I notice myself next to Caiyden naked.

"Good morning" says Caiyden

"I-I dreamed of Kevin" I say as I get up and put my clothes on

"Me too but we need to keep moving" says Caiyden as he gets up

I rub my eyes and grab my stuff as I walk towards a car near the house.

I stare at it as I smash the window.

I then unlock the door and am able to hot wire it.

"Hey Caiyden! Got a car!" I yell

Caiyden walks out from the house and smiles.

"At last things go our way!" He chants

I smile and go into the car as he sits on the passenger side.

I start the car and drive towards wherever. In hopes of finding my people.
