She looked to see if there’s an extra blanket in this room and then she grabbed one once she saw under the pillows.

“𝙊𝙝 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙝, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙣.."

She gently patted Vero’s back as she continued to look toward the sky. She closed her eyes and thought to herself.

(Maybe a shooting star can come tonight..)

She says this as she looked towards the window with Vero

Alana just watched as Hershel left, she then yelled as the tears started to run

“𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙'𝙫𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩?! 𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙪𝙥𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨!"

She then looked back at Vero and lowered her voice

“𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮.. 𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮..

Her voice sounded a little hissy

She stared at Hershel for a while, If this what the stream is going to start doing then there it seems that time will be running out for the others brought here by it as well.

Alana might not have trusted Crow but she can see the pain in Vero’s eyes.

“𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙤 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨"

Alana stood staring at the ground for who knows how long, their voices sounded muffled and then when she heard Vero starting to cry. She quickly went to hug her.

Her iris seemed to have shrunken as her eyes were wide. She isn’t happy to hear that.

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢.. 𝙄𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠? 𝘿𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙩'𝙨.."

Alana placed her hand on where her mouth would be as the mention of the stream starting to send people back terrified her. Who would be next? Would her time here be cut short soon so?

She didn’t realize that she let go of Vero

Alana tilts her head a bit in curiosity

“𝙐𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨? 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙪𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙢?"

She then turned to Vero and then went with her to sit on the bed.

Alana looked at Vero for a moment as then she got up to the door. She opened it a bit and then looked at Hershel. Shes peaking through it so you could only see a few of her eyes.

“𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩.. 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡?"

(Right.. I need to get used to that.)
