new point of view
* Preston *
Sabre the base is this way . we walked into the open gate walkers were everywhere . me and lachlan walked to our old house where we used to live. i didn't see a walker or hear one any where .
lachlan : lets gather as much supplies as possible .
Preston : alright .
-------------------
Sabre : mogi where are you .
mogi : over here , don't worry .
wolf : hey Sabre . you seen Preston .
Sabre : he's with lachlan on the other side of the base .
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Preston *
lachlan was looking through an old book . i didn't realize a walker was behind me . i pushed me out of the way and got bit . i couldn't believe what just happened. i grabbed my gun and shot the zombie in the head and ran over to lachlan who was laying lifeless on he floor . he was all pale and a very noticeable bite mark in his shoulder . i watched as his eyes slowly developed dark circles around them his face drained of all color and life it had left his blue eyes turned to a foggy grey . his skin was turning a grey . he snapped awake and tried to bite me when Sabre shot him with his gun .
Sabre : Preston we need to go . before we lose anymore group members .
Preston : i'm not leaving him . not like this . never like this .
wolf : Preston we need to go -
Preston : remember our groups motto Bowie ! " once family always family once loved always loved forever no matter what in life or death "! i'm not leaving him .
mogi : come on we need to bury lachlan in his grave .
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Sabre *
we spent the rest of the day digging the grave for lachlan . mogi had to go back to the safe base for medical attention he had frostbite . the snow was forgiving . Preston was still crying rivers . we had to pry him away from lachlan's lifeless body and drag him back to our base .
two hours later
Preston : he's ... g-one ....
* cyclone *
i mogi dug his nails into my arm trying to stop me from going to Preston's room . i got free from his grip and smacked Preston across the face leaving a red hand print visible for all to see . he stopped crying and looked at me tears still in his eyes .
Preston : i'm sorry for acting like a toddler its just he meant the world to me -
cyclone : Preston ! you aren't the only on who's lost people they loved ! i lost my parents . i just recently found my brother ! mogi lost everyone . Sabre lost his friend , his ex girlfriend . shark lost his sister .Preston! and his family . everyone lost someone ! you aren't the first . is not easy to let go of the people you love i know i had to let go of all , but one .
Preston : i'm sorry i never learned to let go .
cyclone : its hard to let go of the ones you hold dear to your heart . and your group's motto is very wise words to live by , but your in out group now yo have to follow our motto . " people who we lose are not forgotten only stored away until we are lonely " . i remember my mother and father . my best friends . and group members who died to keep us safe . grey , Cory , grian , bot , and a few others gave them selves up for the horde to be distracted enough for us to get away .we hold them in our hearts . even though they're long gone they are always remembered as one of us .
Preston : thanks cyclone . it'll be easier to let go now and move on .
cyclone : night buddy .
Preston : night guys .

* Preston's nightmare *
i was in my house . before the apocalypse happened i was in my bed everything was normal . lachlan i ran down to the kitchen and saw lachlan back facing me his face in a book . i touched his shoulder he was cold . he turned to look at me with the zombie face he had when he turned . he scratched my arm and bit me i could feel my blood leavening my body and my ability to function slowly drain away i was one of them now . a walker .
end nightmare.....
