Chapter Text
Stiles looks around at where they're all at and exclaims hysterically, "Why are we in a zombie apocalypse???!! They're all just gonna kill us!"
Liam says nothing and looks around too, although he agrees with Stiles.
Lydia rolls her eyes and begins thinking of how they could possibly get back home.
Derek also says nothing because it's Stiles. He stands beside his uncle Peter.
Peter speaks up then a bit irritated, "Will someone shut him up? We're going to get attacked because of his nonsense speaking."
Malia turns to Stiles and growls at him to shut him up.
Stiles moves away from her, standing closer to Lydia.
Scott looks around at all of them and says in a hopeful reassuring tone, "We're going to be okay."
Allison agrees with Scott as she stands beside him.

Alice, Claire, and other survivors find the group:
Alice: Who are all of you? How did you survive the infection?
Claire doesn't say anything to them, just observes*
Rain ignores everyone and finds Stiles to be irritating as she looks around the area for supplies in some old buildings.
Ada is also silent,just taking all of this in.
Leon decides to go with Rain to gather more supplies while the others stay there.
Luther speaks up then saying, "They're alive but they seem different."

Rain returns to hear that kid Stiles still going on. She pulls out a pistol and pulls back the barrel once it's loaded. The noise makes everyone look at her. She looks up and stares directly at Stiles before glancing at Alice and Claire as she says, "What? He's gonna keep talking his mouth off, he's gonna get shot."
Claire looks at Rain and tells her, "He's not infected Rain."
Rain glances at Claire and says, "I don't give a fuck. If he doesn't shut the hell up, I'm shooting him. He's gonna give us away and then those damn fuckers are gonna attack us. We've been killing them for hours and finally there's silence. You know as well as I do that doesn't mean it's a good thing." She's still holding her gun, but it's down at her side.
Alice approaches Rain and puts a hand on the woman's shoulder, saying something to her that nobody can really hear. Not even the newcomers.
Rain moves away from Alice and checks the perimeter around them then, firing her gun only twice when a zombie comes running at her down an alley; shooting it in the head.
The sound of the gunshot rings out and everyone looks in the direction of where Rain had gone, Alice and the other survivors expecting the worst. Rain walks out of the alley and says to Alice, "Killed another one just now. Bitch came up out of the damn ground before I shot her in the head."
"You're not bitten, right?", Alice asks her, concern in her voice.
"Hell no. She didn't get close enough for that to happen.", Rain replied, keeping her eyes on the buildings and other places that she's certain the zombies will come from.
Claire also looks relieved as do the others in their group.
Alice looks at everyone and says, "We need to setup a safe place that we can hold them off if necessary. So everyone stay together and don't wander off."
€ € € € €
Once they had all discovered a place that was comfortable enough for everyone, Rain and Claire decided to take point and keep watch first.
Everyone else headed inside the bunker and was surprised by how it looked in the main room. Once they all found their own rooms, the pack and the other part of Alice's group sat and talked about everything. Meanwhile on watch, Claire tried to talk with Rain.
€ € € € €
"You weren't really bitten, were you?", Claire asked as the silence passed between them. She didn't mind the quiet, but she knew that it was good to have some kind of conversation even if Rain had already told them she wasn't. Somehow she knew that the woman wasn't being honest.
Rain didn't speak for a few minutes and then finally said, "So what if I was? Would it matter anyway? I'm just gonna repeat the damn cycle and become that thing all over again."
"Rain, you need to get the cure. Alice still has it in her bag. She can use it on you.", Claire said.
Rain grew silent then, staring out at the woods and anything else as she did her best to not hear the concern in Claire's voice that surprised her. She hadn't thought the woman would have cared. Actually she had been the one who had pushed the woman away whenever she had tried speaking to her. It's how she was.
"Rain please get it. I can tell Alice when the others are asleep tonight and we can get you cured of the virus.", Claire continued. She had grown to care about the other woman whom she had never met until a year or so ago.
"If im gonna become one of those things again like that last time, then go get Alice when the time arrives. She'll do what she has to.",Rain said in her bitter tone.
"You need help Rain.", Claire said one more time before she stopped talking and looked back at the woods.
Rain looked at them too, gripping her gun firmly as she suddenly saw movement far back in the trees.
"We got company.", She said, aiming her gun at one of the zombies and firing. It went down and another soon followed as Claire shot at them too.
