Hello, Gorgeous
The sun high in the sky, the area quiet as Alicia looks out at the ocean just thinking of everything that went on in the past few days. She sighs as she looks out at the ocean, the only peaceful thing left in L.A. right now. She hears a faint sound of someone talking or yelling but she doesn't think much of it, she sits up and wipes off her hands before heading back towards the house. Alicia looks up from the ground as she hears the sound of a girl screaming "Come on, fuckers" She starts standing up worried it is her mother or Ofelia. She runs in the direction of where the voice came from only to see a blonde fighting off a few walkers. She gasps and gets the attention of the remaining two walkers as the third gets killed, starting to back up, Alicia looks from the blonde to the walkers asking for help with her eyes as she is at a loss of words. The blonde takes the knife in her hand and flips it around, stabbing the blade into one head then kicking the dead away before repeating the same to the other. Alicia backs up and takes a breath she didn't know she was holding as she looks at the girl,
"Thanks for distracting them, gorgeous."
The blonde says with a cheeky grin before wiping her knife off and putting it back in it's respected place in the holder on her thigh "What's a cutie like you doing out here alone? I'm Elyza by the way" The blonde says, Alicia finally able to hear the Australian accent leave Elyza's mouth,
"I'm not alone, my family and friends are staying in a house at the beach.. I-I'm Alicia"
She says, a small hint of pink on her cheeks from Elyza's names for her 'I like her' Alicia thinks to herself as she smiles at the girl, not wanting to leave her just yet. The Aussie smiles at the brunette before fixing the Glock 32 in it's holster on her hip and shifting the strap of the AR-15 around her shoulder that is strung across her back. Alicia admitted to herself, this girl was very intimidating, in her leather jacket, black jeans, spots of blood on her face and combat boots. Even though Elyza was intimidating, Alicia wasn't scared, she actually felt safer around this girl then she does around Strand and he is letting them stay in his house. Alicia smiles at the girl before kicking a rock, not knowing what to say, "So, are you gonna invite me to your house or do I have to beg?" Elyza says with amusement and with a smile "I promise not to hurt you or any of your family, you can trust me.. you did kinda save me" She says and nods at the brunette, the blonde's eyes shining with honesty. Alicia nods and starts walking towards the house "Follow me, you should know that my mom and Travis might be mad that I brought you back" Alicia says and tucks her hands into her pockets as she walks and Elyza raises an eyebrow "Your mom and Travis? Don't you call them your mom and dad?" She asks before running into Alicia as the girl stops in front of her "He's not my dad" The brunette says before continuing to walk.
Elyza shakes her head and sighs "I'm sorry, I didn't realize" She whispers as they walk up to the house, Alicia's mom quickly standing with Travis right behind her and holding the gun. Elyza notices this and holds up her hands, showing she means no harm as they walk into the house "Mom, relax, this is Elyza. She was being attacked by walkers and I helped her" Madison looks from her daughter to the blonde then back to her daughter,
"Did you have to kill anything?" She asks with worry before Alicia shakes her head "No, I just distracted them while she killed them.. I know you don't want me to kill anything mom" She says and rolls her eyes slightly "Alright, Elyza. This is Madison, Travis, Chris, Nick, Ofelia, Strand and Daniel. Everyone, this is Elyza" Alicia says as she motions to everyone in the room, everyone nodding or shaking the blonde's hand "Elyza Lex, nice to meet you all" She nods towards everyone and shakes anyone's hand that is offered before Strand speaks up,
"Alright guys, if we want to avoid nightfall we have to leave now, or early tomorrow morning. Got it?" He asks and everyone nods, Alicia crossing her arms slightly as Elyza moves to sit on the couch "So, am I allowed to come as well? Or was I brought here to just say hello then leave?" She asks, looking over at Alicia with a glint of hope in her eyes that she will be allowed to come along. Alicia looks down at Elyza before looking at her mom "Yes, you can come" The brunette says and her mom pulls her out to the hallway "No, Alicia. We don't know this girl, for all we know she's going to kill us in the middle of the night" She whispers so no one can her and Alicia rolls her eyes "She won't do that mom, okay? I know that we hardly know her but I trust her, we barely trusted Strand and we are fucking going away with him just because he saved Nick's life. I saved hers, let me bring her and if she tries to screw us over..." She trails off, not wanting to finish that sentence. She knows Elyza wouldn't do that, right? No, she wouldn't do that, she trusts Elyza with her life and she doesn't care if that gets her killed. Alicia feels like she knows Elyza, but has never actually met the girl; she knows her somehow but can't put her finger to it. Alicia leaves her mom in the hallway and walks back into the room, every scattered and starting to pack as she sits down next to the Aussie "Do you have any clothes with you?" The brunette asks as she looks into the girl's amazingly beautiful blue eyes.
"Yeah, a shirt and a pair of pants, other than that no. My house was filled with walkers so the only thing I could grab was my guns and my knife and jacket." Elyza says with a small shrug as blue eyes meet green "I could lend you some, if it comes to that." The brunette says, not able to look away from the girl's piercing eyes. She blinks slowly than she thought she could as they keep staring into each others eyes, neither able to look away. "I appreciate that, gorgeous" The blonde whispers with a small smirk on her lips 'This girl is gorgeous, how could she be alone? She must've lost a boyfriend or something... maybe a girlfriend? Don't think like that Alicia, she's probably straight' Alicia thinks to herself as she hears someone clear their throat, looking over to see Nick standing in the doorway,
"Seems like you two are already close" He says with a sly smirk and Alicia notices how close they are and she scoots back, clearing her throat and looking at her brother "Shut up, Nick" She glares daggers at her brother as he puts up his hands in defense "I just came in to tell you we're leaving soon" He says and chuckles before leaving, making Alicia turn to Elyza who is relaxed as ever and smirking at the brunette '... wait... is that a seductive smirk? No, it can't be' Alicia shakes her head slightly before smiling "Alright, we should go make sure we have everything on the boat" She says and stands up, offering her hand to Elyza. The blonde takes it gratefully and they both feel sparks shooting from their hand to across their body "Whoa" They both whisper and look up into each other's eyes 'This is going to be a fun ride' Elyza thinks to herself before smirking, her eyes flicking down to the girl's lips then back to those beautiful green eyes 'Definitely a great ride' She walks out with Alicia, heading to the boat with loads in their hands "Damn, that's a big ass boat" Elyza says as she sees it floating in the water "Yep, and we're going to be stuck on it, so get use to everyone being annoying" Alicia says and smiles before walking ahead of the girl slightly. Elyza smiles and shakes her head "I can think of a few things that won't get annoying" She says to herself and walks along with the girl, happy to have been saved by Alicia.
