Once Warren, Doc, Addy, Mack, Eclipse and Ivony went inside the mall, 10K and Arcadia decided to get out of the back of the truck. 10K jumped down first and then helped Arcadia get down safely.

"Thanks." Arcadia smiled at 10K before turning to Murphy. "Stay in the truck. We'll look around the cars and check for gas or anything useful." Arcadia explained to Murphy.

"Well don't come crying to me when you two get your faces eaten off." Murphy grumbled as a response. Arcadia rolled her eyes. 10K got the gas can and the tube to get the gas, if they find some.

"Let's go over there." 10K told Arcadia, pointing towards a spot away from Murphy. Only Arcadia had a gun, since 10K was going to deal with the gas. So Arcadia nodded her head, grabbed her gun and then followed him to the area.

"So, Doc questioned me about my past, even though I didn't admit much of anything. Now I gotta ask, what about you 10K? What's your apocalypse story?" Arcadia questioned as 10K checked the first car for gas. He was quite for a moment, clearly thinking about what to say and if he should talk about it or not.

"My first kill, it was the thing my father became." 10K quietly said.

"You had to give your own father mercy?" Arcadia was shocked and sad for her friend. She could tell that he didn't want to talk about it much, and with what he said next confirmed what she thought.

"What about you?" 10K questioned, wanting to clearly talk about something else that didn't involve him.

"My past is just a long list of despair. It would take some time to explain and you probably wouldn't really want to hear it anyway." Arcadia replied as they moved to another car since the first one had no gas. 10K crouched down and opened the gas cap to put the tube into it.

"We have time." 10K looked up at Arcadia as she stood next to him. "And I would like to hear about it." Arcadia looked into his eyes and then nodded her head.

"My story starts before the apocalypse. One year before it all happened, I was...assaulted and it resulted in my having a child." 10K looked up at Arcadia, shock written on his face. Arcadia was leaning against the car looking off into the distance. "For the first few months, my family and friends helped turn my childhood home into a zombie free compound. Eclipse's family was there and so was Ivony's. Of course my family was there as well. For the first year, we all enjoyed a peaceful apocalypse. I had a beautiful daughter, Serenity and I had a boyfriend that I loved very much." Arcadia had tears in her eyes and the tone of her voice told 10K that something bad had happened to all of them. 10K stood up, forgetting the gas in the car they were at.

"What happened to them Arcadia?"

"Ivony, Eclipse and I were out finding baby food for Serenity. When we got back, everyone was chained up in the front yard. The gates and fences were broken down and the house was on fire. Everyone was dead and turned. The three of us had to give all of them mercy. I had to give my own daughter mercy." Arcadia finished the sentence as tears began to stream down her face. She collapsed to the ground, so 10K got down on the ground with her and held her.

"Arcadia..." 10K whispered. He wasn't good with girls and he wasn't sure what to do or say to make things better. Arcadia held onto 10K's shirt and buried her face in his chest as she cried.

"The locket has a picture of Serenity and the guy I was in love with. The other pictures are of my family and life before the entire world went to hell. They are all I have left of them." Arcadia continued as she cried into 10K's chest.

"I am sorry... I hope the people who did that die horribly." 10K muttered. He wasn't sure why, but the story made him furious and watching Arcadia cry was making his heart hurt.

"They did." Arcadia choked out. She looked up at 10K sadly. Their faces were inches apart.

"How do you know that?" 10K was confused.

"Eclipse, Ivony and I hunted them down...and killed them." Arcadia looked down, not sure how he'd react to hearing that.

"Good, they deserved that." Arcadia looked back up at 10K shocked. She was shocked that he was doing this much talking, and that he had just said that. He smiled at her, letting her know that he wasn't angry with that or anything. Arcadia smiled sadly back. The two stared into each other's eyes for a minute. As they did, they felt themselves leaning towards each other. Just as their lips brushed against each other, Murphy yelled from the car.

"They're coming back!" Murphy yelled to the two teens. Instantly both stood up. Arcadia wiped her tears and grabbed her gun before heading back to the truck. 10K gathered the still empty gas can and the tube from inside the gas tank. He then made his way to the truck as well. Warren, Addy and Doc were running out of the mall. They all looked upset over whatever had went on in the mall. Arcadia noticed that it was only the three of them. Eclipse, Ivony and Mack weren't there anymore.

"Where's Eclipse and Ivony?" Arcadia questioned Warren, Addy and Doc.

"Where's Mack?" 10K questioned, now at Arcadia's side putting the gas can and tube back into the truck. Warren shook her head and made her way to the driver side of the car.

"Get in the truck! We have to go!" Warren yelled to everyone. A hoard of Zs was coming out of the mall. A few of them were bloody like they ate two people.

"Where's Eclipse and Ivony?" Arcadia asked more frantically. Doc and Addy got into the back of the truck and Warren got into the driver seat.

"Get in the truck!" Warren yelled. 10K pulled Arcadia into the truck and tapped the side to let Warren know she can drive the truck now. Warren quickly drove them out of the area, hitting a few Zs along the way.

"Where the hell is Eclipse?!" Arcadia snapped at Doc, now close to crying again. Doc explained what happened to Ivony and Addy tearfully explained what happened to Eclipse and what happened to Mack.

"I'm sorry Arcadia." Doc finished, sadly.

"No..." Arcadia began to cry once again. 10K held her as she cried again as well. Her face was against his chest and his arms were around her tightly. "They were all I had left. What am I supposed to do without Eclipse now?" Arcadia asked 10K with her face still against his chest. Her words were a bit muffled, but he still understood her. Before he could respond though, Addy spoke up.

"How can you only care about Eclipse's death? What about Ivony?" Addy questioned the crying teen.

"That bitch caused the death of one of my friends. She got what she deserved!" Arcadia snapped back. Addy was going to comment, but Doc put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head.

"I'm so sorry Arcadia." 10K told the girl in his arms.

"They were all I had left, and now they are dead!" Arcadia cried.

"You have us Arcadia. You have me." 10K whispered as he leaned his head against Arcadia's head. She clung to 10K as she cried. Eventually, Arcadia told 10K that she was sorry about the loss of Mack. The two teens both had finally realized what their feelings for each other were, but it had been found out at a very bad time.
