## Biography

### Season Two

Kelly and Brian travel on the Grand Rapids Runner Bus, which is forced to detour around the Fallen Tree. As they do, Elgin, another passenger, wakes up and begins panicking. Another passenger tries to restrain him, and he vomits, disgusting Brian and Kelly. The driver then stops the bus in the middle of Town outside the Diner. While they wait under the awning to shelter from the rain, the Diner being locked, Tillie, an older passenger, dances in the rain, amusing Kelly and Brian. Ellis and Tom approach the bus passengers and tell them that more people will be down to help them and unlock the Diner. Bakta replies that they aren’t making a pit stop, and she simply needs a mop. Kenny apologizes for their inconvenience and offers to get some tea for all of them and allows them into the Diner, and the couple follow the rest of the passengers inside.

After the house collapses, many of the passengers come outside to investigate the scene. Bakta decides that they need to leave, despite Donna’s explanations about why they cannot. Donna warns her that people will get killed if they are outside when then sun goes down. Brian asks what she is talking about, and Donna reiterates what she said, adding that she will give them a more detailed explanation when they are safe. Brian begins arguing and the scene devolves into chaos. Donna shoots out the tires of the bus with a shotgun, causing Brian, Kelly and several others to run away, while the bulk of the rest of the passengers are herded back into the Diner.

The two take shelter in the Bar, locking the door behind them. They talk about how strange this place is, but Kelly happily discovers the alcohol in the bar. Later, Kelly and Brian hear the screeches of the Creatures, which she fearfully tries to brush off as a coyote. Brian, having grown up on a farm, insists that they are not human. Kelly says that maybe it’s a prank and begins to panic, but Brian tries to calm her, and says they’re in an adventure and it will be a funny story they tell at parties. They then hear knocks on the door and voices that say they passengers on the bus and don’t want to die. Kelly urges Brian not to open the door, but he says they have to help them, and lets them inside.

The next morning, Kelly is found by Kenny and Ellis, her head pinned to a tree by a metal rod from an animal trap. Ellis is shocked, while Kenny prepares to remove the body. Kelly then gasps for breath, shocking them. Kenny runs to get Kristi, while Ellis stays with Kelly, who asks Ellis for help. Kelly tells Ellis that strangely, the metal rod in her head doesn’t hurt. Kelly and Ellis introduce themselves, and Kelly asks where they are. Ellis says they are in the woods outside Town. Kelly asks how they’re in the woods, and then flashes back to when her and Brian were in the Barn, and how the Creatures came in and killed Brian. Kelly explains that they dragged them out and made her watch as they killed him, and told her they wanted to play with her. Kenny arrives with Kristi, and Kelly asks her if it’s bad, and begins panicking. Kristi tells her to hold her hand while she looks at her wound.

Kristi tells Kenny and Ellis that even if they were in a hospital, it would be a 15 hour operation. Ellis wants to try and free her, but Kristi think their only option is to mercy-kill her by pulling out the rod. Ellis asks if it will be peaceful, and Kristi says she doesn’t know. Kenny offers to shoot her, but Kristi does not want her final moments to be with a gun to her head. Kelly realizes that she is not going to be ok, and Kristi tells her that she is going to die. Kelly asks for Ellis and Kenny. Kelly tells them that they are very nice, and asks for her phone so she can call her mother. Kristi tells her the phones don’t work, but offers to write a message down for her. Kelly suffices with that, and tells Kristi to tell her mother that she loves her, and apologize for not giving her a hug. Kelly explains that she was mad over something stupid so she left without giving her one. Kelly then begins screaming in pain, and they struggle to decide over who should pull the rod out to kill her when Boyd arrives. Boyd tells them that it’s his job to do it. While Kristi holds her hands, Boyd pulls the rod out, killing her.

Later, Boyd mentions to Donna how strange he finds it that the couple was named Brian and Kelly, as the first person he saw die was his brother-in-arms in Iraq, Corporal Brian Kelly.
