The Long Nightmare From Hell...

Clyde couldn't help but frown at how hard Heather was being on herself. While he was aware that she did indeed mess up, he couldn't blame her for leaving her phone in the dorm, no one knew something like this was going to happen.
He couldn't help but laugh a bit though once Heather revealed her thoughts toward him during their first encounter. He felt that despite all the craziness that was involved during that week they first met was truly worth it now. He felt no regret toward being with Heather.

Clyde then turns to look at Heather with a bit of surprised expression on his face, that quickly twists back into smile once he took in what she was saying.

"Love ya too, babe..." He mutters to her carelessly, practically teasing her as he said this, but also wanting to let her know that he felt the same way. He found a bit funny though, if it wasn't for this horrific event, they might have both kept their feelings silent from one another.

Heather's heart skips a beat as she hears Clyde's words. After all she's put him through, and after everything that's transpired, she couldn't help but be surprised at his words and his feelings. It's an emotion she hasn't shared with quite anybody. Having no knowledge of her past, being in the orphanage until Dante and his family picked her up, and then that whole time really looking out for herself above all. This whole thing was quite new to her and it just had to come at a time like this. She felt as if she finally feels this incredible sensation, yet her life was going to end, leaving it quite short lived.

"I'm sorry...I really am...I'm..so sorry.." She says, her emotions completely spilling out as she finally decided within her that her actions up till now haven't been the best. She's really forced this on the one that sits here with her now, comforting her and also sharing love with her. She wanted to take it all back, but also wished that it could still go on, leaving nothing changed.

Reaching out for Clyde's head, she blocks out the sound of banging at the doorway and pulls him in for a kiss. Pressing her lips against his, she tries to start a kiss deeper than any she's had before with him, putting all her emotions and love into it, although not verbally saying so. It was, in her mind, their final kiss. It was, in her mind, the stamp on their lives and relationship.

"Ain't... nothin' to be sorry about, girl... Clyde Gastin ain't got no regrets endin' it all with ya." The Texan would confess with a small smile before retracting it for a moment, not really used to pouring out his feelings like this. However, As Heather reaches out and grabs Clyde before pulling him into sudden kiss, the Texan would return her passionate embrace almost immediately as she started it. Holding tightly onto Heather, embracing her for what could be their last moment together, forgetting about the nightmarish creatures that stood outside, thinking only of the woman he loved, wanting to be with no one but her. No longer afraid to die now.

[size=150:1nf555wz]Chapter II: "Rescuing Alessa Mason"

24 Minutes Prior

Bonnie was staring out the window of Clyde's dorm just as he and Heather had left to go to the convenient store, leaving herself and Dante Sunderland along in the room. Although she had been carelessly teasing Dante about him being alone with her, Bonnie felt it was rather awkward since she had a crush on the boy who was now with a girl by the name of Alessa Mason, whom Bonnie practically allowed to go after Dante, while Bonnie backed off.

It was a choice that Bonnie felt was both right and wrong. Although Alessa's sad story had struck a cord upon Bonnie that convinced her to let Alessa pursue Dante romantically, Bonnie felt like she had also made a mistake and wondered what things would have been like if she had took Dante ended up with her.

"Yo Dee..." Bonnie would say as she kept looking out the window and into the dark cloudy skies. "How much do you like Alessa..?" Bonnie would ask the boy who was still the room, not bothering to turn around as she spoke.

Just finished being teased by Bonnie as the two stood in the room by themselves, Heather and Clyde both going out, Dante lets out a sigh as he continues to lean against the wall. He was feeling quite nervous being alone in the room with her, especially due to the teasing that she had just done to him earlier. He looked down at the floor, almost searching for words to start up a conversation as they stood on opposite ends of the room.

Hearing Bonnie's words, he looked up at her, startled a bit. "H-huh?" he lets out as he listens to her question. At first he didn't know what to say, it was a question that he hasn't really asked himself, but inside he knew the answer. Although it was just recently, he's come to accept Alessa's feelings towards him. He hasn't uttered the same words to her as she did him, however the kiss they shared in the ring seemed to solidify the relationship the two were having and how it had changed from partners and friends to boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Uhm...how much? A-ah I guess...I..Like her alot..W-why do you ask?" He says in response, half knowing of Bonnie's crush on him from her attitude towards him, but the other half oblivious to how she felt about him and Alessa together.

Bonnie continued to stare out at the window with a somewhat dissapointed look on her face, hesitant to explain why she asked him that question in the first place she finally spoke.

"Do ya love her? That's what im askin' Dee." Bonnie would say before she heard a loud scream emit someone in the dorms downstairs, a scream that startled Bonnie for a moment before he dismisssed it, thinking it was just someone getting in a fight, which was an all to common thing.

"You're one helluva man, Dee. Somtimes I wish my dang ol' brother was more like you, but I guess girl's like me can't always have the good guys... Not for long at least." Bonnie would say Dante as she turned from the window, leaning against the wall as she spoke, giving Dante a careless smirk as she looked him, while her eyes told a different a story. Although she was smiling, the look on her face was more along the lines of sorrow and regret more than anything else.

Dante watched as Bonnie continued to stare out the window after his response. He couldn't help but think that maybe he'd said something wrong, but what he was saying was the truth. He didn't get fully why Bonnie was questioning him as such, but he couldn't lie to her about the relationship he and Alessa shared, but then she continued on with her questioning.

"Uh..." It was the question of him of the word he's yet to say to Alessa. It should be easy considering the relationship that the two did share. It was clear they were very close to eachother now. But for some reason, he just couldn't bring himself to say that word. It's almost as if maybe he wasn't fully used to the change in his relationship with Alessa that came so soon, but no matter what it was, he just couldn't say yes or no to Bonnie's question. "Well..I..she's really close to me.."

Dante jumped a bit as he heard the scream that Bonnie had just heard as well, it worried him just a bit, but he quickly dismissed it just as she had. It wasn't just because of the usual environment in this area, it was also because of the deepness the two's conversation had got to. He heard Bonnie continue on and a blush appeared on his face a bit as his heart sank. He could see the signs of sorrow in Bonnie's expression, and it hurt him to witness it. The girl who always seemed to be rowdy and cheerful had such an expression on her face.

"Bonnie...I.." He went to say, taking a step forwards, but he couldn't find the words to comfort her. He looked at her with a concerned expression as he tried to search for how to cheer her up.

"Heh... You don't even know do ya, boy?" Bonnie would ask as she emitted a light chuckle before she looked back at Dante, fixating her gaze right into his eyes. "Even if you don't know, Dee,,, It's definetly one of em." Bonnie would say as she stepped off the wall and approached Dante before she slung her arms around his neck, looking him in the eyes while she kept a rather blank expression on fer face.

"You know I never got to nab a real kiss from ya, right? This is gonna be my last chance to get a real one from ya... And I don't give a damn if you don't like it, Cause I sure as hell gon' enjoy it!" Bonnie would exclaim as her voice returned to its usual rowdy tone before she closed her eyes and leaned head foreward to plant a kiss upon the redhead's lips, turning her head slightly to the side as she pressed her lips fully against his. She figured that if he cared about Alessa, he would be a bit hesitant to return the kiss or even feel guilty. That's what Bonnie wanted to figure out, otherwise, she just wanted to let the boy once the kiss was broken.

As Bonnie keeps Dante locked within the embrace, a thumping sound is heard emitting from the doorway. Bonnie figures its Clyde, and just ignores it. Perferring to take her kiss from Dante before opening the door, knowing his reaction to the current scene would not be good.

Hearing Bonnie's words, Dante goes back to looking down to the floor. He almost feels a bit ashamed that he couldn't answer her question. She was right, he didn't really know his true feelings for Alessa. He couldn't straight out say that he loved her because he didn't really know if he actually did. That being said, Bonnie's next move was one that completely took Dante by surprise.

"A-aah" Dante lets out as Bonnie slung her arms around his neck. His face turned to a deep red blush as her face was extremely close to his. He looked at her, stunned and shocked until he hears her words. His heart jumps at what she says and his eyes widen as she brings her face closer to his. "B-Bonnie Wai-Mmm!" He lets out before he is cut off by Bonnie pressing her lips fully and directly onto his. Standing there, completely taken back by the sudden move by Bonnie, while he doesn't return the kiss he also does nothing to stop her from doing it.

Standing there for what seems like forever, he is taken by the moment and unknowingly enjoys the kiss that Bonnie gives him. It carries him in so much so, that he can't even hear the thumping coming from the doorway that Bonnie hears. His widened eyes slowly close as Bonnie kisses him.

Bonnie doesn't pay any heed to Dante as tries to speak to her before she plants the kiss on him, she simply takes in the moment as quickly as she can while there is still time, yet a part of her feels a bit disappointed that he didn't return it. Either way, Bonnie took her time as she kept her lips pressed tightly against the boy, slowly sliding her tongue inside his mouth to curl and lap around his own, taking great satisfaction in finally being able to do what she's been wanting to do since the past few days.

As the bashing on the door continued however, Bonnie would open her eyes and glare at it before breaking the kiss and pulling her arms off of Dante. Emitting a light popping sound as their lips parted.

"Goddammit Clyde hold ya damn horses!!!" Bonnie would yell out towards the door, thinking it was her brother trying to get back in. But as Bonnie opened the door, she instantly shrieked in terror upon seeing the undead creature with rotten and decayed flesh that stood in front of her, it's disgusting appearance causing Bonnie to look on in sheer terror, instantly wanting to scream out for help once again, but she could emit no sound. She felt as if she nearly coughed her lungs out as she tried to scream again, instead she backed away very quickly and tried to shut the door as fast as she could on the zombie who suddenly tried to lunge foreword. Ending up getting catching its arm in the doorway and snapping it off with a sick crack before the severed arm dropped the floor that would be stained by the dark blood that drooled from arm. It's hand twitching open and closed before it finally stopped, leaving Bonnie to stare at it with her eyes glued open from the sudden shock.

Taken away by the kiss from Bonnie, Dante offers no resistance to her as she keeps her lips pressed against his. Suddenly though, he feels her tongue enter his mouth, curling and lapping around his own. He lets out another muffled sound of surprise as she does so and his eyes widen again. He rests his arms on Bonnie's shoulders, feeling wrong about doing this but at the same time he couldn't push her away as he continued to be taken in. He was incredibly surprised at this sudden action by Bonnie, and he was wondering to himself if she would even stop here. Seemingly into what she was doing, he accepted the kiss nervously as his hands stayed rested on her shoulders.

Suddenly, Bonnie releases the kiss as she glared at the door. Relieved but also deep inside a bit disappointed, Dante falls back onto the wall again, leaning his back up against his, his heart racing from the kiss and his face still flushed a deep red. He turns his head and watches Bonnie open the door, only to jump up, startled as Bonnie suddenly lets out a shriek.

Taking a step forward, he turns to see what Bonnie was shrieking at, and sees the undead monster standing before him. Shocked by the appearance, he falls backwards onto his butt, staring at the abomination in surprise, not understanding what it was. He watched as Bonnie quickly shut the door, snapping the zombie's arm off in the process. He watched as it still writhed around, severed from the body until seconds later when it stopped. The rotten flesh covered in blood took him by surprised as he stared, disgusted at it. He looked up though, seeing the Zombie still walking around as it went towards Bonnie who seemed stunned.

"STOP!" He yelled out as he brought himself to his feet before jumping up and kicking at the zombie sending it to the floor. He hesitated to finish it off, his mind not letting him kill something as he turned to Bonnie. The thing clearly was still going to get up soon, and Dante had no idea how, with it's severed limb and all. "Bonnie...A-are you ok?"
