Her body shook against mine and she shook her head in denial.
“I’m a killer,” I said gently. “A murderer. I have no place in a safe zone. I’ll take you there but after that, when you are safe in civilization… well, my place is out here, amongst the dead.”
Chapter 30
Lily
Gregg gave me a hug as we waited outside the house for Ryan to finish his grisly business. He hadn’t heard what we’d said but he could tell from my face that I was upset and needed it. He was a good friend and I was glad he’d be coming with me to Scotland.
We’d go because Cass needed to be somewhere she could have her baby safely and live free of the zombie threat. We’d go because my people needed help and that was the best place we could get it. We’d go because whether he believed it or not, Ryan needed help too.
It wouldn’t end in Scotland, I refused to believe that. He was trapped somewhere inside himself believing that he couldn’t stop being a killer. I fully intended to show him that he could.
The End of book 2.1
Note from the Author.
The very first book I wrote belonged to Ryan and Lily. These two became a part of the apocalypse for me. When it ended it was with the hope that a second season could begin. Separate from the first, in that you can read this without having had to read the others and showing the end times from not just Ryan’s point of view, but Lily’s too.
This was the first book in the new season and there are more to come as Ryan and Lily make their way to Scotland and perhaps discover that there’s a long way to go before the world can right itself.
I hope you follow along on this journey with them, much as I will be doing.
