Teri, Dessie and Lyka
I watched the small group as people filed in, drip by drip. First that I noticed was a girl with a green T-shirt the same green as mine, just lighter. Two german shepherds trailed her. I tried to shush Lyka as she began to growl, but she would not listen. "God you're antisocial, you take after your mother" I whispered angrily to her.
Next was a muscular teenager, then a man with three dogs. He sat opposite the hall from me and Lyka would have none of it, the hair on her hackles began to rise and she started making this annoying high pitched yap. I scolded her and this did nothing to calm her down. Annoyed I chased her out of the hall and dug through Beauty's saddlebag to find their leads which I clipped onto Beauty's lead.
When I walked into the hall someone new had arrived and a head of floppy un-cared for black hair popped up from behind a counter at the end of the hall. At first I stared at the face, I recognised it for some reason. Then he turned at looked towards the entrance of the hall. As soon as I saw his light blue eyes I knew who he was, "Jed!" I called before waving and running towards him, "Teri!" He came towards me and I engulfed him in a huge bear-hug. "I haven't seen you for months, where have you been?" "I have been here, you know, surviving and stuff." Jed and I had a fling in high school and were dating a month before the meteor.
"That's you, you're a survivor" he let me go and I asked him "So you're the one that broadcasted the message?" "Yep, I hacked the system" "seriously?" "No, I went to the broadcasting station. Walked in and talked into the mic. Anyway. I've got a meeting to run. You'll see what I mean just now, if you can please ask everyone to leave their weapons in a pile on the table." "Suuure.. ok"
He grabbed a radio thing from behind the counter and went outside, through the door I noticed the jeep was his. While he scratched in the jeep I went to the nearest person: a boy with a, hockey stick?
"Hey, could you please leave your.. err... stick and weapons on the table and ask everyone else to do the same"
I went around to everyone in the hall, including the girl with the two shepherds and the guy with three small dogs.
