Jamaica POV
"There won't be Christmas this year, right ?" Carl asked, we had gotten back on road earlier and now in another town "there will be Christmas" I replied with a gentle smile, Travelling in winter wasn't really the best idea especially on foot, even the pullover couldn't keep much warmth and our boot was getting stick to the snow. "I wish everything would go back to normal, I wish I could be in my room, cuddle in the warmth of my blanket,watching Star wars" Carl wished sadly, it hurt not to be able to control all this mess, the world has changed and all we could hope for is survival.....ruffle....both of us froze....something ran behind the bushes,Carl held my hand in a tight grip in fear, I could feel a lump grow in my throat as fear consumed me "Jamai....." Carl called, I put my finger on my lips, signaling her to be silent. Beside us are trees, I gently pick Carl up in an attempt to put her on the tree, she grabbed a branch and help herself up, I tiptoed next tree after making sure Carl was safe, I climbed the tree with Cloe's box on my back and founded a safe spot on it, I glanced at Carl next tree and nod to her...... A man ran out of the bush, cloth tattered and blood on him, dried blood, his left face and ear was missing, Carl let out a frightened gasp with tears pooling in her eyes, I looked closer at the man....it was an undead....a fast one, I have never seen an undead that ran at the speed of a living, it scares me and i felt bile rise in my throat. The undead was sniffing around for prey, I felt a deadly sting in my right ankle..... I wanted to scream in pain but I couldn't, on my ankle was two snake bite and the wild animal was aiming for another. I gave it a kick on the head and the black animal fell with a thud but I didn't look to see its next action because of the loud scream that came from Carl,....I watched her fell from the tree about ten feet away from the undead. The undead stood in daze probably processing what happened but the next second.... He went for her. I jumped down from the tree, my foot missed due to my pain , I managed to scrambled up, dropping Cloe box, before the undead get to Carl, I jumped kicked it with my right ankle and it fell few feet away from Carl who jumped up and pick Cloe's box "climb up the tree" I shouted as the undead tackled me to the ground, I tried to pull out my sword but it fell out of my hand, the undead was really strong, it aimed for my face, his disgusting saliva dripped on my face, he smell like a rotten body and his body felt disgustingly mushy, I gave it a punch in the face and it fell off me, I crawled to my sword in a hurry as fear clouded me, my heart felt like it would jumped out any moment, ready to pick my sword..... I felt a hurtful pain on my ankle right at the snake bite spot "JAMAICA!!!" Carl screamed, I picked my sword and looked behind me only to see the undead with its teeth sink in my ankle, I swinged my sword twice cutting off its head which rolled away as the body fell. I was breathing heavily and could feel hot tears running down my face, I slumped beside a tree and motion for Carl to come down.

Megan and Vittore are Jamaica and Elle's parent who were suppose to be dead. Megan was now aware of the teenagers she was familiar with "Mummy!!!" Elle ran to Megan embrace in tears, Megan also became emotional on seeing her daughter "oh my baby!" Megan cried out in happiness. Clara, Jennifer, Elena and Cain stood in shock watching the mother and daughter reunion with different thought running through their mind. Clara placed her hand on her baby bumb, anger flashed in her eyes, she felt the urge to ask Megan 'why' 'why was she here, after month of them searching,she was in this safe place while her children were in danger' 'did she left her children to death?' Angered, Elena pulled Elle out of Megan embrace to everyone surprise "stay away from her!" Elena hissed venomously to Megan. Elle was surprise at the adult reaction "why?" Clara asked with gritted teeth, directing her question to Megan "why what! What is wrong with you girls, I have just seen my daughter and you are keeping her away from me!" Megan scolded, this got the attention of people in the store who were now watching the drama "The daughter you abandoned in a fucking apocalypse just for YOU to be safe!" Clara shouted and chocked in sob, Cain went to stand beside Elle and held her hand "you left your daughters to die" Jennifer muttered "what! No! I didn't, and who are you guys to question me,they are my daughter"Megan cried "then explain why you are in this place while they were stuck in the city" Clara asked with a raised brow "I thought they were dead" Megan answered and they all fell silent "jokes on you" Elena sneered "dead?" Clara chuckled "you abandoned one in your mansion in the city and didn't even check on her just to decide SHE'S DEAD! and the other in college who was just a phone call away, you didn't try to reach out, HECK!!YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!!" Clara cursed......slap..slap..slap echoed in the store, making everyone hold their breath "listen to me girl, my husband and I were only trying to be safe, one of our daughters might be infected for all we know, and there was no way to reach out to them" Megan spit, Elle didn't care on Megan's word, all she wanted was her Mummy whom she missed "since Jammie isn't here, let see what Jeff would like to say" Elena said grabbing Elle's and and made for the door "Ja...mai...can, where is my baby?" Megan stammered in fear, "she's.... gone,she went down with the vault" Clara replied with her back to megan and they walked out. Megan fell on her knees in shock with onlookers either staring at her with disgust or pity
