The Walking Dead -Northwards-

[PoisonLilies]

Feeling numb Lilith’s body just fell to the floor, tears flowing down her pale face. The Emergency Alert System was just shown on the news, it was telling people to head out of Colorado and make their way towards Wyoming. Lilith’s car was in the shop for the past two weeks, now how was she going to get out of Colorado. Knowing she had to pull herself together Lilith began to bite down on her lip, hoping the pain will snap her out of it, while chanting in her head that only a coward would give up now. Lilith slowly stood up her body shaking all over knowing that the first thing would be putting on clothes. Rushing to her bedroom she yanked the closet door open pulling out dark blue jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, and converse. Lilith knew converse were not the right shoes for running but the only other footwear she had was flip flops. After dressing in more suitable clothing Lilith was dumbfounded on what to do next. Looking around for a solution her round green eyes fell upon her messenger bag. Knowing she would be walking Lilith thought it would be better to travel lite. Going to the kitchen she searched all the cabinets and peeked in the fridge. Finding a couple of things that might be helpful two water bottles, a bottle of half drunken RC, beef jerky, couple of six pack peanut butter crackers, and pop tarts. Running to the window she looked out, not many houses where up this way that’s why she moved here, yet now if felt lonely and eerie. It looked dark outside not seeing much but before she looked away something chough her attention. An outline of a human shaped figure was slowly making its way straight at her; something was wrong the figure was walking funny. Lilith’s mind went right to the news reports stating that people who had the virus were dangerous and its best not to approach them. Lilith did not know the full extent of this virus and not wanting to she ran grabbing her messenger bag, and a flash light in her hallway closet, Lilith went to the back door cracking it slightly. Not seeing any human shaped figures out back Lilith quietly went out the door dashing as fast as she could to the trees. Having nowhere to go she headed more into the woods hoping maybe to come to a road where she might be able to get a ride to Wyoming. Fearing something might be out in the woods Lilith did not turn on her flash light. She walked for what seemed like hours never finding the road or hearing a car Lilith was getting tired and kept jumping at every little noise she heard. Darkness was over taking her eyes, she could not stop falling over her feet, and she had to start using the flash light. After about another hour the light was showing that the trees were thinning out. Lilith could hear sounded like gun shots and then a few minute later shouts. She ran to the edge of trees looking out in the opening field she could see a cabin then a person run off the porch. Lilith watched as the person ran to a car starting it up and making his/her way to other people. Fear hit Lilith as she seen the person kill someone she backed up hitting a tree letting the flash light fall to the ground. “How can someone just do that? What’s going on?” Lilith starting crying, sliding to the ground biting down on her lip to try and wake herself up.

Kayla laid on her back for several seconds before hearing someone coming out of the cabin seeing a young woman making a run towards one or the cars and turning on. She squinted her eyes slightly as the cars headlights shined in her eyes, Kayla stood up slowly groaning in pain as she was brought back up to her feet by her watching her hitting a walker in the head. "Thank you." Kayla said softly as she started limping over towards the front door.

Laurel saw someone on the porch and heard the things falling behind her as she helped the girl to the porch before collapsing herself, "Damn... how many do you think we'll be seeing shortly?" She directed her question at the man that had just saved her and the girl's life. She quickly got back up and shut off the car, and the lights. She got back to the porch after locking the car and pulled out a cigarette and lit it, taking a long draw before offering the pack to the girl. "Couldn't hurt now, right?" She sighed and stared into the woods, her heart racing from trying to rescue the girl. Hell, even if she'd left her to die, her screams would have attracted more of those things anyway. She shuddered and took another draw from her cigarette. "We might not be safe here for very much longer.."

[Nallore]

Kayla sat down on the pourch of the cabin and looked to Laurel and smiled softly taking the cigarette. "Thank you for saving me from those things." She said softly lighting it up and drew out some smoke from it and relaxed and looked at the cabin. "They followed me since I got off of the highway there was a large herd of them going down the highway it was so big." Kayla tol them.

Buck awoke with a start as George started speaking to him. What the heck is wrong with this guy, can't he see I'm tryin' to sleep. Buck didn't snap at him though. He listened and tried to decipher what he was saying. "My name's Buck Bradley. Before all this I was a pro-wrestler. Not even from around here. I was just in town to do a show." He got up to stretch his legs. "Think that I -". He was cut off by the sound of gunfire. His eyes went wide with panic as he realized Laurel was not in the room with them. "LAUREL!?!?" he bellowed as he burst through the door in the direction of the gunfire. He couldn't find her but heard plenty of commotion in the darkness. "WHERE IS SHE?!?" he screamed to no one in particular. "LAUREL!!!"

[sofire]

Laurel turned her head to look at Buck and smiled softly, "Buck, i'm here." She put her cigarette out and got up, moving over to him and hugging him gently, "I'm alright, but we won't be for too long.." She nodded to the girl sitting on the porch still, smoking a cigarette, "I saved her." She nodded to Dmitry, "And he saved us both." She patted Buck's arm once before turning him loose, "No need to fret." She moved back over to the porch and sat down, "I'm thinking we might ought to start packing our supplies though.. It's not good we didn't get to rest long."

Emily was jolted awake as her daughter started screaming from the gunshot. Sam had made his way towards the zombies, carrying a barret that was used to help beat down rioters. If he had his riot sheild he'd be in perfect condition but he hadn't thought about that. He had made a move but he was quiet about it and he was no where to be found.

Emily grabbed her duct tape, knowing it unethical and duct-taped both of the crying babe's mouths. She didn't care at this point if she was reprimanded for it. Silence was required.

Then it hit, stirring in the woods, moans. It was time to leave, this was too close and some had followed, a lot had followed Kayla to this location and the gunshot had drawn the walkers in.

Sam came running back.

"We need to leave, everyone, get your stuff, we gotta get out of here! Part of the horde broke off!" He screamed. It was lucky he was alive. He skid to a stop, grabbed his keys and looked to Buck.

"You," He pointed at Buck.

"Bring Phillip out please," He stated.

Emily had walked outside wondering what all the commotion was and when she heard those words her eyes traveled over his body. Something was amiss, what had happened to Sam?

"I'll go get him..." Emily stated and made her way back in.

"Phillip, we gotta go, something's wrong," She stated, looking for him.

"And Sam wants you."

Kayla quickly put out her cigarette on the pourch and let out a soft groan in pain as she got back up to her feet and looked down at her twisted ankle seeing it starting to bruise slightly and looked at Emily, Laurel, and the others who were outside. "I'm sorry it's my fault for lureing them all here to your cabin." She said leaning up against the wall and looked at the others for a moment. "I am willing to help out as much as I can though."

[Foster]

Dmitry looked at Kayla as she offered to help. She wouldn't be of much use in a fight with that ankle, but perhaps she could still help..

"You can go inside the cabin, find a girl named Natasha Rez, take her outside and tell her to get in my truck. There should be plenty of room for you as well. Help load the guns, food, tools, and other equipment in the back; don't worry too much about how it's loaded. Oh, and here's the keys in case I don't come back."

Dmitry spotted what looked like a light to the 'right-flank' from where he was shooting. He knew they wee surrounded, so having them come from all angles was expected... but tis one was carrying an electric-torch and sat-down.

It was very strange behavior for an infected. He handedthe Marlin-rifle to Emily and went to fetch the Mosin and 80 rounds in stripper-clips to investigate.

Up-close, he saw another young girl... fuck.. little girls coming out of the goddamned trees?! ... it was a little too surreal for him to comprehend...

"Are you alright, miss?" He asked tapping her with the side of his cruciaform spike-bayonet that served much better as a tent-peg or screwdriver than anything else.

[PoisonLilies]

Lilith’s body jerked, not that this was the first time that night, as something poked her.
She quickly grabbed the flash light jumping up squeezing her bag tightly against her upper body.
Fear spread across Lilith’s face as the unknown man stood in front of her.
Pushing her back against the tree harder hoping to disappear into it she could hear the people at the cabin yelling things she could not understand.
“Please d-d-don’t kill me.” She stuttered out in a low whisper. A twig from behind Lilith snapped she spun around backing up till she was almost shoulder to shoulder with the unknown man. Lilith pointed the light in the woods shaking all over.
