Instinct: Afterlife

Chapter 1

I stared at the dirtied face of my mate after examining the spider-like thing that had attached itself onto her chest. Her hair was matted with dirt and god knows what else, her clothes were dirtied and ripped beyond repair. Just what the hell happened to her and the others? I saw her suddenly jerk before lifting her head up and opening her beautiful green eyes. She looked up at her tied hands before beginning to struggle.

I slowly walked over and knelt down." Hey, hey! It's okay."

She stared at me like some caged animal- I couldn't blame her.

"Sorry about that, But I had to get this thing off of you." I held up the device. "What is this? Who did this to you?"

She just stared at me, her whole body tensed. I frowned, wondering why when It suddenly hit me. Could she….

"Do you even know who I am?" I asked. When she said nothing, I knew I had my answer. "My name is Alice. We met in the Nevada desert eighteen months ago. Any of this sound familiar? Mikey? Carlos? LJ? Kmart."

I watched as she kept looking at me, listening but not fully believing what I had to say it seemed like.

"You left in a helicopter with a group of survivors heading for Alaska. Arcadia, remember?"

When she said nothing, I dropped my hand and sighed. She really doesn't remember. I looked at the bucket of water before looking back at her.

"I have some water here for you to wash off- and some clothes you can wear." I inched closer to her slowly after dropping the device the ground and kept my hands up where she could see them. "I'll untie you but you can't attack me and/or run off, alright?"

She just gave a grunt and I untied her before I stood back up.

"You can go ahead and start, I'll go get your clothes." I turned to my plane and grabbed my bag and dug out a red vest, grey tanktop, black ripped jeans and a pair of boots. I walked back over, respectfully averting my eyes away from her naked form. Even if we did do some things back in the desert, in that motel room, I never took off her clothes, mainly because of how quickly heated things became.

"Here." I held out the clothing and felt her took it. I heard her getting dressed before looking at her. Her hair was still wet, but at least it was clean. "I have to tie your wrists again- but I'll make sure your arms are comfortable."

I walked over to her and tied her hands in front of her before sitting. "Get some sleep, we'll be moving in the morning."

We began our journey in the morning and it wasn't long before Claire passed out behind me, not that I blame her.

I opened the LCD screen on my camcorder and pressed record.

"May fourth, eight hundred hours. Plotted a course to Prince Rupert and British Columbia. I'll pass Vancouver, drop down to Seattle, after that it's San Francisco and the rest of the west coast. My passenger is still talkative as ever. Whatever that thing was, it was injected some sort of drug. Something that causes memory loss. I Just hope the effects are permanent." I turned the camera off and closed the screen before focusing on flying.
