answers to Amaya and can't be trusted, people with split personality usually have more than one but if I have any others I thankfully haven’t shown these yet" April is wide eyed as she processes what I've just told her.

"That actually makes a lot of sense, thanks for trusting me with that" she smiles and grabs my hand squeezing it in reassurance, I smile back and feel relieved that someone else knows about me.

"If we've got enough stuff, then we'd better meet up with the others and head back" Colonel announces, we both follow him out our bags heavy with items we have found.

Sure enough the others we travelled with are waiting outside with full bags, I notice Noah with a black eye which I didn't notice earlier, I turn to April in shock, she stifles a laugh "whatever happened I'm glad of it, he started acting like a real dick, so I'm glad he got put in his place" I nod slowly and scan the area to see if I can figure out who may have inflicted this, everyone seems friendly with him so maybe it's someone who stayed behind, my eyes fall on Colonel who watches Noah closely and when their eyes meet Noah narrows his eyes for a moment then avoids his gaze altogether.

Colonel is much more violent than I thought, if he can do such damage to Noah the head of the house and get away with it what could he do to the rest of us? As these awful thoughts start circling around my head everything starts to go dark and I start fearing Amaya is making another appearance, and before I can warn April or fight her she’s taken over and I'm left alone in the dark again.

Amaya’s POV

I blink and take in my surroundings, I'm outside in the city with a group of people, there’s one girl I recognise Sam's friend April, she smiles at me and I grin smugly knowing they must have made up, that means she has her trust in me and doesn’t suspect a thing, I catch up with her and flash a sweet smile her way, if I want to take over Sam's life I've got to be discrete.

"Do you want to hang out when we get back, I feel like we haven’t seen each other for ages" April asks and links her arm with mine, "of course doll, we need a real catch up" I giggle, "doll?" She questions, shit I guess she does not do pet names, "I kind of like it" she smiles, and I sigh in relief, "how’s Damon been?" She asks me and I have to wreck my brain to remember which one he is, "Damon? Yeah he's grand" I answer nervously trying to remember who she’s asking about, "I've been visiting him now and again but it's hard to see him like that, I know that's my doing and he doesn’t hate me, he’s my brother but it's hard to trust I won’t hurt him again" she says and a lightbulb goes off in my brain, Damon's the brother that Sam or well me now, is dating.

"He seems to be doing better, he'll be back to normal real soon, a stomach stabbing is hard to recover from" I sigh and glance at her face to see it fall slightly, "but despite that he’s a fighter so he'll be back to normal really soon" I assure her with a sickly sweet smile.

We arrive back to the mansion and I make a mental note to explore every inch of this place, we drop off the items we collected and head upstairs, "let's get dressed and go to the games room" April says excitement dancing in her eyes, I smile and nod in response and we both head off to our separate rooms, I wince in pain suddenly I check my arm to see a sore bite mark and my eyes widen in horror, 'that damn Sam has to go and mess up my plans, how am I going to fix this?!' I think to myself; I go to my room but hear a voice calling for Sam, I check the next room to find Damon smiling, "oh hi" his smile falters "encounter some zombies?" He asks and I realise I'm covered in blood and guts, "yeah I guess so, but I survived" his smile returns again, he beckons me towards him and I sigh and plaster on a smile, "I missed you" he says as he hugs me, I frown and half-heartedly hug him back "yeah missed you too, it felt like I was gone for ever" I scrunch up my face at the fake loving talk, but smile again when he faces me.

He caresses my face with his palm and I don’t know where to look unused to such affection, he leans his face into mine and suddenly his lips are on mine, I feel shocked and I'm about to push him away when I realise I could give my cover away, I lean into his kiss but feel disgust at his affection.

We pull away and I stand to my feet, "well I better shower I promised April we'd hang out" I say trying to find anyway to put some distance between us, "you guys made up?" He asks, "yeah I don’t know what came over me acting so... awful to her, but we've made up now so I better go" I say as I start walking backwards out the room, "tell her hi for me" he says I hum in agreement and escape the room and enter my own, "gross boys are the worst" I grumble to myself, I pick out a clean outfit and a towel and close myself in the bathroom.

I strip off and enter the hot shower blood and dirt circles down the drain, I sigh in content and wash my face to rid myself of Damon's
