The world was now either-or. Either you don't take a risk and play it safe or you take the risk and put your life at stake. But for Kendall, it was always an either-or world. To her, love was just an illusion to protect your genetics. That's what the Others taught her anyway. She was built up and beaten down to become the monster she is today. But she's still alive. Barely. Thanks to Ben Some-Kind-of-Serious-Gorgeous Parish. [DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the original plot or characters only kendall & whatever else] [first published january 23, 2016]

I purse my lips. "Maybe I don't want you to look out for me. Like I said, I don't need anyone." He lets out a laugh. It's a little jarring, how much Zombie resembles his namesake. Sunken eyes, rattling jaw, bared teeth. It's dark and twisted and genuine. Zombie, what happened to you? "You can lie to everyone, Croak. You can pretend that you're some tough little soldier who doesn't hurt and doesn't need anyone, but I know. I just saw proof that it's all a lie, that you're just as human as the rest of us. Even if you won't admit it to yourself, I know." A fanfic for the book "The 5th Wave" by Rick Yancy. [COMPLETED]
