La lumière dans l'obscurité

Getting further into the building after leaving Laura and Cam on watch Ayita kept her guard up as the rest of them entered the building proper. Crossing through the first set of doors they soon found themselves in a community room of sorts, it was odd, not a thing out of place, everything looked exactly as it should have been save one thing, a door off to the side room sat ajar. In it they could smell the stench of rotten flesh. The smell meant only one thing, the dead. Crossing the room with Ziggy and the rest in tow Ayita opened the door quickly and drew her bow. "Be careful." She said aloud. Peering in though she was greeted by a sight that she didn't expect. Rather than a group of the walking dead she was greeted by bodies, all neetly arranged as they dangled from the banisters, chairs lay toppled to the floor around them.

Her hand raising to cover her face Ayita gagged, People hanging was the exact opposite of what she was expecting and having prepared her for the gore of the walkers the bodies hanging caught her completely by surprise. Pushing their way in Ziggy found a note scribbled on paper, frowning as she heard her curse them and say that they didn't deserve a proper burial Ayita sighed and took the paper from her when handed it, reading it to herself she closed her eyes and said a silent prayer for the souls that had been lost, wishing them safe travels in their journey and judgments to find their place among the spirits.

Following Ziggy's form as she swiftly left the room Ayita sighed again and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I'll go with Ziggy, Would you guys stay here and get those people down from there?" She asked looking to Brody, Thomas and Ellie. Waiting for them to answer Ayita turned and set to catching up with her Fiancee. "Babe, wait up." She called as she came to stand abreast. "Du solltest die Toten nicht so verfluchen."(you shouldn't curse the dead like that.) She said quietly, Ziggy should have known by now what the afterlife meant to the Native Americans, How every soul is precious no matter how they went out in life. Deciding to drop the subject for the time Ayita followed her Fiancee up to her room, lagging behind she looked down the halls and checked a number of rooms to make sure they were alone before joining her, as she did she saw Ziggy's room, it looked practically untouched from the way it had been before the end, a fact Ziggy didn't fail to point out herself.

Coming to sit on the bed Ayita gripped the blanket that lay crumpled at the foot of the bed and closed her eyes, The thought of Ziggy's bead filling her mind brought a small smile to her face, the smile staying put until her eyes opened again it faded when she saw Ziggy reading a dairy, over it's cover was scribbled the name Maxine, Ziggy's collage friend. Sighing Ayita moved to sit next to her and began rubbing her Fiance's back, sensing that the words written on the pages were going to surely turn bad at some point Ayita brought her other hand to hold Ziggy's, which was a good call in the end as Ziggy soon shouted out as she read the final piece, from what she could tell Maxine had thought she was dead and this had devastated her. Being thrown off her balance as Ziggy launched herself to the wall shouting Ayita looked on in fear, she'd never seen her Fiancee like this and the feeling of hopelessness was overwhelming, She knew Ziggy blamed herself for a lot of things and surely that's what the root of the outburst was here, deep down she probably blamed herself for Maxine's death. Approaching Ziggy from behind Ayita wrapped her arms around her and laid her head in her shoulders. She knew there wasn't anything she could say to make it better but she hoped that showing that she was there for Sieglinde would help.

Falling to the ground with her Ayita began to hum softly, trying to soothe her Fiancee's anger and sadness. Staying like that until the tears subsided Ayita took a breath. "I'm sorry.. I know how you feel though, every day I think the same thing about my family, the ones that may be left, Worry that they think I'm dead. I know there's nothing I can say to make it better babe but.. I'm here for you."

Staying silent after that Ayita leaned into Ziggy again and waited for her to speak.
