She starts living with them and when she it put to the test of fighting zombies called revivids, she can’t bring herself to kill them. For after killing Tyler in the last book she decided to better herself. She discusses this with the higher ups of the strange underground facility that is holding them.

They make it above ground and as they are one locked door away from escape they find out that Mark isn’t badly burned at all. He is alive and was convinced by the scientist that he was one of them. Partially due to their hunger they eagerly want to eat them, but B stands up against them trying to protect Mark, but Tiberius shoves her aside and they kill him and eat his brains.
