Hmmm, true. Very true. Okay scratch that.


Pun intended?

I'll post tomorrow. Don't want to flood the IC going back and forth with Eviledd.
I may be overlooking this, but does someone get infected from being scratched?

Lili took the knife that the man was handing her. "Yes, I can do that, I've used--"

The young woman's speech was cut short by a low, guttural moan a little too close behind her. She looked over her shoulder and noticed a young girl who couldn't have been older than 9 or 10 making her way towards them, and something within Lili snapped. She lunged towards the girl to close the distance between them, and when she was within reach, she shoved the knife as deep as it would go into the girl's head, inflicting the wound just above the girl's left ear.

"Β‘MuΓ©rete hija 'e puta!" Lili yelled in her native tongue, the rage she felt over Liam's death suddenly surfacing as she inflicted more damage by stabbing the young girl again and again. After Lili had stabbed her a third time, she forcibly pulled the knife out of the side of the girl's head and kicked her in the chest hard enough for the young girl to fall on her back. Lili didn't feel any mercy for that thing. If the girl would have been the sweet little kid she was raised to be, then Lili would have protected her to the moon and back, but she wasn't a child, or human for that matter. Not anymore. Lili's face bared no emotion as she knelt over the girl and with both hands, plunged the tip of the knife between her eyes. Lili was breathing hard by that point, but she was far from done. She pulled the knife and stood up to rejoin her partner in crime, wiping the hand that was slightly covered in blood on the side of her shirt.

"Not bad, huh? She was, uh...easy. Come on, let's go."
Liliana Russo


Tears stained her cheeks as Lili witnessed that...man devour her boyfriend's face as if he were some piece of meat. The thoughts in her head were a mess. She was certain that Liam had brought them on this trip to propose. Weeks before their flight, she had accidentally seen a text message in his cell phone. Liam had been in contact with Lili's dad and the last message he had received was "I'm sure it'll fit, she's got small hands". No one would worry that much about jewelry size unless it was a proposal ring. But Lili never read the rest of their messages for obvious reasons.

And now she would more than likely never find out.

The state of shock she was in came to an abrupt end when someone placed their hand on her and shook her. The deep voice that accompanied it made her react. She would never see Liam again, and although she wanted nothing more than to lie next to him as he took his last painful breaths, this man was right, they had to go.

Lili followed the stranger to the stairwell. He was tall, and he looked just as intimidating as his voice made him out to be. But that should play in their favor, and she felt a tinge better. Lili hurried down the steps behind the man to keep up with him. He was rushing down at a quick pace, and their height difference didn't help. Her heart was beating so hard that it could have been deafening had the noise of their footsteps not been bouncing off the walls, making their presence known to anyone that was around. Although, the further down they went, she easier it was to pick up on a different sound, one that terrified her to her core having just experienced it.

"Please tell me you can get us to the security room in one piece!"

It was late at night, and Lili was in a dark alley all by herself. She heard sirens off in the distance, or maybe an alarm of some sort. The young woman looked around, but the walls on either side seemed to stretch on for miles.

"If anyone can hear me..." The voice was sudden and unexpected, and Lili attempted to make out the words just right, "...security control room".

What did that even mean? As far as she could tell, there were no doors in that alley. No windows either. Maybe the announcement was meant for someone else, it'd only be logical. Lili started walking forward, not being too picky about which direction she went. It's not like it mattered; she'd be walking for a while anyway.

"Liliana! Wake the hell up!" This voice was much louder and clearer to understand. It was oddly familiar...

She was startled awake, only to be face to face with her boyfriend, Liam. He was ordering for her to get up and get dressed, although it took her a moment to figure out she wasn't dreaming anymore. Lili looked around the room and realized where she was, and the urgency in Liam's voice coupled with his frantic movements prompted her to get out of bed. Her heart rate picked up and adrenaline started coursing through her veins. He was usually calm and collected under pressure, so Lili knew the reason behind his behavior wasn't good.

"What's going on?" she asked him, trying not to trip over her own two feet as she pulled on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Liam gently tossed her the pair of white shoes she had on the previous night before answering her question. "It seems people have lost their bloody minds out there. They're attacking and eating each other so we need to get out of here this instant." Lili had barely slipped on the last shoe before Liam grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the door. For a moment, she wondered who in their right mind would run towards danger when they could have been perfectly fine holed up in their room, but then that bit from her dream came back to her, where a security room was mentioned. That's probably where Liam was taking her. And who's to say they'd be any safer in their room? They where practically sitting ducks.

Once outside, Lili finally understood the situation. The hallway was a scene out of a horror movie, but she did her best not to focus too much on the details, that never ended good and it would only waste time. They couple turned the corner near their room and were met with a few bodies not too far from them. Some standing, some dead, and a few others hovering over an unresponsive one. Lili gasped in shock before they turned to go the other way, but a tall man with a bloody face and idle eyes was blocking their path. In the next instant, the stranger would tackle Liam with an inhuman growl and Lily could only stand there paralyzed with fear as the man bit Liam's cheek. His screams paralyzed Lily with fear and her breath caught in her throat, making it nearly impossible to get her legs to work.
@Delphio Thanks!

Also, if anyone would like to do a collab, let me know. I plan on posting tomorrow since it's past my bedtime.

Interested, will have my CS up soon.

Cassandra Voss & Reno Wylde
A collab between @Heretic and @Apollosarcher



"Hey, Reno!" Cassie jogged up to him to catch up. After an already intense morning, she was glad she had ran into him. But nonetheless, a part of her was somewhat skeptical about their relationship, and that scared her. What if they weren't on the same page? If she didn't have Reno to talk to, then she'd be on her on again, and probably alone for the rest of her life. As strong as she was, she couldn't handle that, no after the night they both shared and the potential it brought forth.

"So I may have convinced Isabel to sort things out with Theo. That's an improvement, right?"

Reno's cigarette hung from his mouth as he moved towards Cass taking her hand with his own, he didn't want last night to have been a one time thing. He knew they shouldn't be embracing openly but alone in a hall should be fine, they were far from prying eyes there. "That might not be enough... Theo murdered Thrax with his bare hands right infront of the man's Lieutenant." He added.

"He did what?" Cassie exclaimed, her voice carrying through the walls. She realized she'd have to go talk to Theo immediately, especially since she'd given him a free pass by assuming that the majority of the problems in his new marriage were due to Isabel.

"Tensions are bad but... We have to let the other two here go eventually and they are going to want payback." He answered, looking at Cassie for a moment. "And now I'm nervous about what's coming or what Theo might do tp keep them from retribution." He sighed and took the cigarette out of his mouth, crushing it with his foot. "By the way... I missed you." He mumbled, still holding her hand blushing slightly.

Cassie stared at Reno as he put out his cigarette and mumbled a few words that despite the strife about to occur, it made her smile nonetheless. "I...missed you too." She gave his hand a light squeeze, and then she remembered something, her expression suddenly displaying an inner conflict not previously present. "I have to go talk to Theo...and Rylan. I had agreed to leave my position for some time and go out into the field. But a lot is happening right now, and we have to figure out what's best for everyone, including us." She paused before she looked into his eyes.

"Do you want to come with me?"

"...I want to go honestly. Walk out of here and spend days riding around just being with you." He sighed. "But I need to be here, Theo needs someone speaking common sense and if need be a lawman to lead a muntiny." He sighed, looking at Cassie. "But I can give you something better than me... Charlotte likes you, when you go take her with you. She saved my life more times than I care to remember. She's the only good thing to ever come out of those wastes in my opinion."

He looked at Cassie before pressing his lips to hers for a soft quick kiss. "I say right now, we do what feels right but keep it a secret. No need to go telling everyone that you and I are a couple. If we have to, only then do we tell, otherwise we keep to ourselves until things calm down. I'm on my way to see Theo's wife, need to have a talk with the woman... She might be planning Alfie's death and with Thrax dead that cannot happen." He answered, he knew that one death could be forgiven but the murder of the two highest ranking officers among Overseers would mean war.

"Okay, please go prevent another death before it's too late," she smiled, letting go of Reno's hand as she walked away. "I'll consider taking Charlotte with me...I think she'd make a great companion on the field but I'd have to run it by Cap'n first. It's his world out there, and I don't want to interfere." Cassie stopped at the doorway and turned around to face Reno, and almost immediately relinquished the thought of her inevitable departure which would cause her to leave him so soon. "I'll see you later, okay?"

And with that, she was off to find Theo.
