The Last Stand

[pheliskougra]

It's a dark stormy night might be a cliché in story-telling, but it's also stark reality now: the patter of heavy rain and the crack of thunder rousing you to conscience.

You are inside your sedan, face-first into the deployed airbag. Your chest hurts a little from the yanking of the seatbelt, but besides that minimal discomfort you seem uninjured.

The car is halfway into a ditch beside the road, the left-side light still on. The engine is stopped, and the whole of the car is askew, stuck in an odd angle. There's a crack on the windshield, passenger side, and the rain is washing off what seems to be blood.

You remember... a person, running into the road right in front of you. No time to stop, and you only had a glimpse before hitting the person, losing control of the car and crashing.

Probably you should do something about your current situation.

Who are you?

Why were you going to Union City?

Whoever shouted that last bit should be glad that Annabelle's rather mellow after that climax.

Annabelle shouts something in reply, but what it is is a mystery. (That's what happens when you string together several languages in a single sentence.) It's....probably not polite, judging from the hand gestures no one but Kelly is in any position to see.

[pheliskougra]

Kelly? Oh, you mean the girl kissing and holding Annabelle very close, purring her name?

That Kelly?

[aeons_crackshot]

Yes, that Kelly.

Annabelle likes it when Kelly purrs her name and holds her close. Likes it enough to pull the sheet back in place over them and start to settle in for the night.

[pheliskougra]

Settling seems like a very good idea... holding close, to sleep deep and rest fully.

After all, tomorrow will be another long day.

[aeons_crackshot]

Another very long day. Stupid damn zombie apocalypse.

On the other hand, she never would have met Kelly if not for hitting that zombie with her car, so it's not ALL bad.

[pheliskougra]

No. Not at all.

And now it's just a matter of solving this mess, and then taking a vacation with her girlfriend.

After slapping Roger for not staying put and leading them in this wild goose chase.

Well, morning comes, and what beats the feeling of waking up cuddled up to someone you really care about, right?

[aeons_crackshot]

Monica gets first dibs on the slapping, but Annabelle has certainly thought about it.

Annabelle savors the feeling of waking up cuddled with Kelly. Oh yeah, she could get used to this.
