Hazel sat quietly in a kitchen in one of the houses. Lauren walks in wearing a different outfit from her normal one. She was wearing a loose black and white shirt. She also had on a pair of black distressed jeans that fit well on her. Lauren smiled as she braided her hair. "New clothes?" Hazel asked. Lauren nodded. "Upstairs. There's a closet. Maybe there's something for you too." Lauren replied and pointed at the ceiling. Hazel shrugged. "There's a bunch of walkers outside. I'll be back." Lauren said as she got out of her chair and walked to he door. Hazel grabbed Lauren's wrist. "No." Hazel said sternly. Lauren turned around to face Hazel. "I know we have to kill them. I understand." Hazel says. Lauren nods. "These people aren't doing anything though. Just let them be until they show signs of being dangerous. Please." Hazel begged. Lauren hesitantly nodded. "It's going to get cold soon. Why'd you pick that shirt?" Hazel asked. "It's just for today. I saw it and liked it. Here's tons of more up there." Lauren replied. "Mostly girls clothes. And there's a room filled with a bunch of girly beds. Like five or six. Must of had a bunch of daughters I guess." Lauren added.

"Almost there." Jared said as he drove a little faster. Mike beamed with excitement. "I'm so excited." Austin said and looked at Melanie. "Me too." She agreed. Zach just laughed. "You know she thinks you're dead. She'll be so supposed." Austin said and tapped Mike's shoulder. Mike just nodded. "The look on her face will be priceless." He said. "Oh and we have a little girl there. Erm..she thinks the creepers are..good guys." Jared said. Melanie looked at him with wide eyes. "Poor girl." Austin mumbled. Jared nodded. "About forty-five more minutes. Give or take." He said. The group chattered about their past as they traveled.

Lauren can hear muffled giggles. Oh my god, Hazel. Not again. Lauren walks out the door to see Lauren tossing rocks at a walker. "Hazel." Lauren said sternly as she leaned against the door frame. Hazel dropped the rocks. "Sorry..." she mumbled. "Let's go." Lauren says and grabs Hazels wrist and leads her away from the walkers. They finally reach a small area in between a house and a shed. "I figured out the towns past." Lauren says. Hazel gives her a confused look. "How?" She asks. "I saw a sign covered in mud leaning against a rock behind a tree. It said Welcome To Polaville. I remembered hearing about this town and how there was a huge fire and burnt downs tons of houses. The people just abandoned the town." Lauren says calmly as her eyes sparkle. Hazel smiles widely. "Cool!" She says. The two girls hear a car stop. "Jared's back." Hazel said and Lauren nodded.
