Dragon Prince Zombie Apocalypse AU

The Drive

Rayla took the time to think to herself a bit, 'The drive is supposed to be a few hours due to blocked roads, hordes, and the fact that it's quieter to drive slowly. It's a good thing they are all mostly blind or we would be in a even worse situation..... Im very lucky to have Callum and Ezran to help me. In a world of survival and everyone for themselves, some people can still have hearts.... I wonder if I can repay them.... If I live anyway.' She looks to Ezran playing with his toad then to Callum driving 'Ready to do anything for his family but will still help a complete stranger. I wonder..... Could I stay with them.... or is he just going to push me away.' she sat up and looked at Callum, "Hey Callum.... Do you trust me?" Callum looked at her, she could see he was thinking about it. ".....To be honest I can't say. I don't trust alot of people anymore..... Not after last time." Rayla knew she had struck a nerve. "Oh.... Sorry for bringing back any bad memories." Callum smiled a bit, "It's fine Rayla, if you want to know the story I'll tell it." Rayla thought for a moment, she was curious about him. "As long as your ok with it, sure. It will help past the time." Callum looked back at the road and took a turn, "Ok so a few years after patient Zero, our family made friends with the scientist that made the first cure, Viren. He hasnt made it yet. While looking for supplies my dad, my biological dad, got bit. Some context, Our mom and my dad got divorced a little before the apocalypse. They lost the love in their relationship but stayed good friends. Ezran doesn't remember my dad but he does know about him. Anyway my dad was bit and we decided to let him live his life and kill him when he turned, but it never happened, he was a immune and Viren decided run some tests and discovered that he could make a cure with his blood. But.... Before he could make multiple cures my dad got eaten by a horde. He gave his life to save me and our mom by drawing the horde to him, this was when a majority of the deadit a could run due to recently dieing, He didn't outrun them...when we returned Viren ran tests on my blood and we found out I didn't get his Immunity gene or something like that. We believed that my cousins and uncle and maybe even more could have it but we had no way to contact them. Viren was so furious that he believed his tests were wrong..... He told me that I was actually Immune and I believed him since I had full trust in him..... He took so much of my blood...... I almost died...... Viren ran off with his son and daughter, leaving me to die on a table in some lab. I woke up back home, my memory after that isn't completely clear but yeah, I trusted someone who ended up using me." Rayla looked at Callum, she felt terrible for asking for the story "I'm sorry to hear that, I understand why you wouldn't trust me. It does suck that you're not immune, for both you me and the world I guess." Callum let out a slight chuckle, "Funny joke, but yeah it does suck. And I do have some trust in you just not alot you know. Anyway we're going to be there soon." Callum speeded up a bit. Rayla thought to herself, 'I don't know why..... but I really want him to trust me.....I want his trust before I die.... That would be a accomplishment.'
