(BTW Kaloter is a few hours away behind Rimalus; So whilst Rimalus and the others are sleeping it is after midday for Kal.)

The group managed to clear the zombies in Aleswell, gathering supplies from the building. They only managed to get a few handfulls of food and water, the rest mouldy.

Eric walked behind Kaloter, the redguard searching the surrounding areas. He kept glancing back at Yivillia, the altmer weaker than usual. Her daughter, however, walked with Eric.

"Silssa...Are you okay?" Eric asked, knowing that the daughter might be going through a hard time.

The altmer girl, who was about 16-17 did not reply, looking directly forward. Suddenly, Dirt called out from behind, the orc's normal self awake.

"She cannot continue!"

The redguard swiftly passed Eric, the breton holding the girl back from going over. He expected what happened to her, but decided to keep quiet.

"Yivillia...Look at me." Kaloter ordered, the altmer women sweating in a frenzy; she was breaving heavily.

The redguard noticed a red patch under her robes. He pulled the sleeve away only to discover a mark...a bite mark.

"Fuck..." Kaloter took a step back, moving his hand to the hilt of his sword. How long she was bitten the redguard did not know, but surely she had to turn soon.

Silssa lunged forwards towards her mother in an attempt to hold her dearly, but Eric held her back. The group looked down on Yivillia, the women leaning against a tree.

"She'll be okay...won't she?" Ka'jirr asked, crouching down besides the women. Kaloter gave him a look full of expression; anger about what he had to do.

The redguard readied a lightning bolt, Silssa calling out. Eric struggled to keep the teen under control, but eventually managed to hold her back.

The group took steps back, watching as Kaloter slowly stepped towards the women. "If we do not kill her now she will turn; become one of them. For our sake, and hers, we must kill her now. Anyone willing to take this burden off my shoulders can."

No one replied, shocked by the scene. Kaloter charged the bolt. His gaze met the altmer's, the women full of panic and fear. The redguard saw how she was terrified, afraid of death; she wanted to live.

Don't make this harder...

Adraria and Ka'jirr held the women down, just in case she tried to run. Kaloter closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.

I'm so sorry...

The lightning bolt went towards the altmer's face, sending it bursting. A hole appeared in her head where the bolt striked her head; she would not turn into a zombie.

Eric watched as Kaloter murmured to himself before the redguard looked back up, "Lets keep going...We've wasted enough time as it is."

The redguard walked off, everyone following after him. Eric pulled the struggling teen away from her mum, tears rolling down her face. Silssa would survive, honour her mothers memory. Although how much it hurt, the pain inside, she was comforted but the presence of the breton; the man understanding her.

"I'm sor--..." Eric started, but was interrupted by the girl.

"Don't." Was all she uttered, before turning away from Eric. The breton shrugged, moving position to the front.

(Silssa is a teen instead of a child now; had to make the change.)
