The Dead Are Walking

Chapter 31

Alicia's Pov

I looked through the many books that had been placed on the table, all of them with weird symbols on the fronts or weird names such as "marked ones" or "concrete savings". I opened up one that read about past lives, and out of body experiences. But their was nothing that explained what was going on with us.

I looked at the mark on my shoulder, the spot where Elyza had touched me. It had faded slightly but you could still easily tell that it was there. I looked over at Abby. "Have you found anything?" I asked her. She just shook her head. "I cant find anything but stuff on ancient tattoos".

I read through a couple more chapters before shutting the book, annoyed that I couldn't find anything.

"Alicia, you should go be with Elyza. The two of you have barley talked since she came back, she misses you" Abby said, not looking up from her book. "Ill stay here and keep reading" She looked up at me. "Go be with her"

I walked out of the room which we had come to call the Mez. I walked down the stairs that led to all of the hotel rooms and walked down to number 6 where Elyza was staying. I walked into the room and looked at her. I still couldn't believe that she was a walker. That she wasn't truly alive. I looked over to her bed and she was fast asleep. I watched her for a moment before crawling into the bed and pulled the blankets over ourselves. she didn't budge.

I noticed that she was only wearing a bra and booty shorts. She had never used to do that before. She had always been covered, not exposing any skin unless it was just her and me. A lot about her had changed when she came back. But I never stopped loving her. Everything was just weird now. We still haven't slept together for a night, we hadn't touched each other, hell we haven't even hugged or had a real kiss yet.

I missed what we used to have. We were always all over each other.

I lifted up my hand and placed it on her thigh, hoping she would feel my touch and wake up. When she didn't move I slowly rubbed my hand up and down her side, slowly tickling her side with my finger tips. I noticed her eyes flutter and I smirked. her skin was cold as I placed my hand in the center of her back and pulled her closer to me.

She slowly opened her eyes and I couldn't help but completely melt when I looked into her blue eyes. She smiled. "Hey" she said. She put her hand at her side and held my hand where it was. She rubbed her fingers softly over the skin on my hands. "Its been so long since your hands have touched me" She whispered.

I smiled and laid my head close to hers. "Your beautiful. No matter what" I said as I placed my hand on one of the bite scars she had. I felt her body tense up for a moment or two, but then she relaxed again.

"I love you. probably more then someone should ever love another person" I whispered and I noticed a tear leak down her cheek. I leaned in and planted a light, but passionate kiss on her pink lips. I was about to pull away when I felt her hands go behind my head and push me back into her. I kissed her back, her lips never leaving each other except for when we couldn't help but smile into the kiss.

I put my arms under hers and wrapped them around her shoulders, pulling her as close as possible to me. it felt as if or bodies couldn't get any closer.

I felt Elyza put her hands under the blanket and take off my pants, as we continued to kiss. "I love you too" She whispered back to me. only breaking the kiss for a moment before we drove back into each other.

I wrapped my naked legs around her body, the heat burning off of us. I flipped her onto her back and crawled up on top of each her, straddling her as I removed my shirt and bra. She smirked. "Your beautiful princess" I chuckled and laid back down on top of her, kissing her once again.

"But" Elyza whispered before throwing me back on the bottom and crawling on top of me. "I think we both know that I'm the top" She said with a wink before kissing me again.

****

I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of coyotes yelping in the distance. They were probably getting ripped apart by walkers.

I looked at Elyza's silhouette in the darkness. She was absolutely beautiful. I rolled over so my feet were hanging off of the bed. I bent over and picked up my clothes. Putting on my bra and underwear before just throwing on a super baggy Panic! At The Disco shirt that belonged to Elyza.

I stood up and laughed when I turned to see that I had pulled the blanket directly off of Elyza's body and her bare butt was completely exposed.

I threw the blanket over her just as the door burst open. I looked over in shock until I realized that it was Abby. "What is it?" I asked her.

She smiled. "I found something"
