One More Time - Part 2 of Forgotten Memories

ALTERNATE ENDING #1

So!~ I have finally gotten around to that alternate ending I was talking about :3 So basically I am going to continue it from the moment in chapter 2, right before she was bitten! Yeah :D The begining part is literally just chapter 2. I am going to change the outcome of this all (duh ^-^), tell me what you think!~

As walk down the long, abandoned road; the baby blue sky starts to turn grey and fill with clouds. I notice we are close to my neighborhood when the first droplets begin to fall. L rushes towards my neighborhood, looking for an open or unlocked door. He finally finds an open door about two blocks in. The white door was smashed, but open. Some of the windows had also been smashed in, as if someone else had been there. Upon further inspection, L concluded that no one was in the little house, so we both decided to set up for the night. In order to barricade the doors and windows, L smashed some chairs to have wood to put up over them. I searched the house. There was a very very large living room once you walked inside. It had creamy green walls and once-white carpeted flooring. Two sofas, a coffee table, and a fireplace occupy the living room. There was one bedroom, pastel-blue walls and grey carpet. Only one bathroom and a small kitchen. This is the house from my dream...Does that mean...No, it was just a dream, only a coincidence. Yeah, a coincidence. I think as a sense of familiarity strikes as I walk throughout the house. Just a coincidence...

We spent the night at the house, L thought that we should make this our permanent hideout. I agreed, since it functioned well enough last time, why not this time? L packs a small bag, again, for when we head out to find my brother and mother. Even thought on the outside I may seem calm, I am freaking out on the inside. Almost like L can feel my anxiety, he puts a comforting hand on my shoulder "It'll be alright." he says smiling his crooked smile. It warms my heart. He was the reason I kept going in my dream. I thought I had lost my family, he was the closest thing to family I had, and he still is. Even though I don't really 'know' him, I feel like I do. L reminds me of my father in a way, I just cannot explain it.

We leave the hideout around two-ish. First, we discussed the places to look for my family. "Well, my house is just two blocks from here..." I start. "You mean this is your neighborhood?" L asks, looking at me. I nod my head at stare at him for a moment. "Well, let's look there first." L says finally, heading towards the door. I feel like I am forgetting something... I think as I nod and turn towards the boarded door. L takes a cross necklace off and sets it on the table* before grabbing the supply bag. "Ready?" He asks me as he turns the door knob. I nod quickly and head out of the door. We head for my house, almost silent groans echo through the afternoon air. What am I forgetting?

As soon as my house comes into view, I run towards it. I run up the wooden porch steps to the door and turn the knob, it opened. Although it opened, no one was inside, which made my heard drop alittle. "Well...we can still gather any supplies from here if you want..." I say in a small voice, looking at L. He looks at me unsure before nodding and heading for the kitchen. I also look for any supplies to take with us. Being in my house, just my presence here, hurt. I felt so alone, bare, like a tiger cub left out in the snow. L interrupts my thoughts, he tells me that he is going outside to look for some rope or something of the sort. I know he doesn't want to see me cry, so that is why he is going out. To give me some space. I try to hold it back, but I can't.

After about ten minutes of crying, my sobs begin to stop due to that same feeling that I was forgetting something again. I wipe my eyes and take a deep breath. Once I feel that I have calmed down, I head back outside to find L. He was winding an old kite rope up into a smaller ring to compress it and save space in the bag. The groaning of biters becomes more loud and present. "We gotta go..." L says in a hushed voice, placing the rope in the bag. I nod and we take off. Biters start to swarm and chase us. When a biter grabs my arm and L kills it, my blood runs cold as the memories of my dreams wash over me. "No!" I shout, panicked. I pull L towards me and bring my knife forward.

Before I can make contact with the biter, a loud shot echos through the air. Blood splatters on my face, and the biter falls to the ground. My eyes go wide and I quickly look at L, who is also now covered in biter goo, and he is staring straight ahead. Cautiously, I turn my head and an old, beaten up truck is speeding towards us, the horn of the truck going off. I squint my eyes and see Lisa hanging out of the trucks window, firing her gun. I smile as tears glisten in my eyes. The truck continues to come towards us, slowing down after all the biters had been killed. As soon as Lisa hops out of the truck, I run towards her and tackle her into a hug. Jeremy proceeds to climb out of the old vehicle and he is the next one to be hugged. They both look at me like I was insane, but return the hug and smile none-the-less. L formally brings his hand up to shake their hands, but is forced into a hug instead. He chuckles alittle before speaking, "Thank you so much for helping us, I don't know what would've happened if you hadn't shown up when you did (A.N. We do ;_;). The name's L." He calmly states as they both introduce themselves as well. "And I'm Melody, thank you so much." I say to them in an over-joyed tone. They both laugh to themselves and say it was nothing. "So, you guys have everything you need? Like a good place to stay, food, water?" Jeremy asks us tentatively. L looks at me then back at him, "Yeah, we are doing pretty good considering. How about yourselves?" Jeremy looks back at Lisa, who answers the question, "Actually we were out looking for supplies, that is why we're here..."  Jeremy nods and looks back at her. "How would you guys like to come back with us? To our...camp. We have more survivors with us and I think it'd be best if we have all the man-power we can get." He states cautiously, looking at L for any response. L, in turn, looked to me. I nodded my head when he looked at me. "I guess it's a done-deal then.We have more supplies at our hid-out, we can bring them." L says looking back to Jeremy, who is smiling at us. We all get in the old truck and head down the long city roads towards their camp.

Okay :3 So yeah, I am going to upload this in chapters just like I have before. Tell me what you think :D Thanks for reading!
