I walked around this deserted town like an outlaw not afraid of being caught by the law. Nothing else mattered in this world anymore. In a split second I was surrounded by the dead. All the people I had killed just circled around me. I was trapped and without a weapon to defend myself against them. I looked at all the familiar faces in the crowd of dead and rotting flesh. They just stared at me. My eyes stopped on Dakota and my parents. They were standing side by side just like I hoped and prayed for years they would but they're dead. They don't know each other now. All at once the dead closed in and started taking me apart piece by peice but I couldn't feel a thing. I watched as my body parts were torn from me and the blood gushed out in buckets.

I sat up in a cold sweat and I wiped my head. I looked over at Brian as he was looking out the small window as the sun was just beginning to come up. I got to my feet and walked over to the window and looked out.

"Anything interesting come by?" I asked wiping my hands on my pants.

"No not yet. Serenity, you talk so much in your sleep."

"How much did you hear?" I asked looking at him.

"I heard too much. You sounded like you were in so much pain. Are your nightmares as bad as Felicity says?" I nodded and he pulled me over against him in a tight hug.

''I'm sorry for the dreams you're having and I wish I could make them go away."

"I've been trying to ge them to stop but nothing is working. I can't even close my eyes for a short nap without seeing them." I said letting him go.

"I seen your Will. Why did you write one? Everything is going to turn out just fine."

"Who knows what could happen Brian. This life is not set in stone anymore." I said honestly.

"I know but you don't need a Will to make sure everything is going to be alright."

"It's just for my sister's protection. I want to make sure she get's everything. I want to make sure that if I was somehow not to continue this life with her, that she would have the closure of knowing the truth. There's a lot of shit I've kept from her and she has a right to know." I explained as my vision was cast towards the window.

"I can understand that and if you ever need to talk to any of us...we're always here."

"I know I can come to you guys." I said nodding.

"Felicity has talked to Jimmy several times about you." I looked at him with a confused expression.

"Jimmy is horrible at keeping a secret and he told me everything Felicity said."

"What did she say?" I asked sitting down on the cold floor.

"She's afraid that something is going to happen to you. Last night she talked to all of us about the Will. She's afraid that by you writing it, that something bad is going to happen to you unexpectedly. She doesn't want to lose her sister."

"I don't want to lose her either but dying is a part of life and she needs to get used to that." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"I know that but not like today. Back when the life was good, death was a natural thing to everything. It could strike at any given moment in time but in this day...all you have to do is walk down the deserted street and be killed by a Stray or Pack. Yeah I know back in the day people get shot in the streets but they never got eaten in the streets and turned into these things."

"Still life is always followed by death and it always will be." I said hanging my head.

"Do you not like life that much?"

"I hate life. Nothing good comes from this life anymore." I said honestly. I felt my chin being raised and my eyes locked onto Brian's.

"Do you want me to show you how much life means to me?" I nodded and Brian leaned closer to me and planted his lips on mine. His hands caressed my face as the kiss progressed. It felt like sparks flew into a case of dynamite and exploded. I've always liked Brian before he actually knew me but as the years progressed he grew on me and I started having undenyable feelings about him. We broke the kiss and Brain looked directly into my eyes.

"Life meant nothing to me after I had lost my wife to those fuckers...but when we heard your radio call that day and you offered to take us and give us a place to stay...there was a little place in my heart that actually opened up. When we met...I felt like we had known each other for a long time. Life means so much to me now because you're in it." I really didn't know how to respond to that verbally so I placed my lips back on his for a deep and passionate kiss. There was something about this that made me believe that there is more to life than just the death and destruction can take away...
