@alexfangtalon that's very good to know. Haha

The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

Ethan Blackledge

Clouds completely covered the sky, with smoke still clearly visible from the north of a group who were running the opposite way. They’d reached the coast pretty quickly and gone east following the coast line. The survivors had not stopped running since the walkers had swarmed their home and destroyed everything they’d been building over the past year. There was only eleven people who managed to get out of the town together and they had no clue if anyone else had gotten out of there.

They hadn’t spoken a word to each other since the first five minutes of escaping. Ethan, one of the survivors, thought to himself that it was best not to say anything. Letting everyone come to terms with what had just happened as they continued to move down the coast.

—————————————————————————————————————————

An hour later, they still hadn’t stopped moving, still following the coast with the smoke slowly fading into the distance. Their speed had started to get slower and slower and you could hear everyone breathing getting heavier as well. “Stop…” Ethan said in an out of breath tone. “We need to take a minute to catch our breathes... One of us is going to pass out in a minute.” Ethan slowed down to a walk then stopped completely putting his hands on his head breathing in as much as he could.

The highway road that they’d been going down was covered in cars that had slowly started to rust over the past year. Everyone had decided to agree with Ethan and started to lean against the cars or sit on the floor. Ethan took off his rucksack and chucked it on top of a car bonnet and grabbed his map and the bottle of water out and taking a sip and passing it towards Walter. A pretty quiet guy but Ethan was really fond of him. He’d been on a few scavenging trips with Walter and they’d all gone well, Ethan trusted him. He was also glad to see Alex, sometimes it was hard to talk to him because of the slight language barrier, but he knew quite a bit on medicine and in these times it was one of the best traits somebody could have.

Ethan laid out the map on the bonnet, looking it over to see where there next stop could be. “We’ll keep moving down the coast until the sun starts to go down.” Ethan said out loud thinking to himself. “Then find a house to stay for the night…” There was houses all the way down the highway and as far as he could see. "The walkers will probably linger about in Dana Point for a while so we should have time to sleep. Anybody think we should do anything different?” Ethan looked around to see if anyone wanted to do something else. He knew everyone was clearly thinking about what had just occurred but he knew this wasn’t the time or the place to actually start talking about it.

Just to let everyone know, my first post is going to be pretty small anyway, just because I don't really want to control anybody else's character and I don't have anybody in another group.

I wonder how long San Clemente can last from the horde of walkers, didn't realise how close it was to Dana Point. :p

@ViolentViolet I think they'll be very curious how you've survived on your own for so long.

@tex going to start working on the first post tonight.

@ViolentViolet Accepted, but if you end up staying with a group, you're going to have to share your supplies. :p

@TheHangedMan Forgot to mention you in my IC post.

Hogwarts; A new story

Elliot Forrester

Elliot had started to enjoy the conversation about quidditch, but before Elliot could respond to Emira and Karen, all the lights on the train had gone off and the whole place had gone dark. Elliot didn’t really know how to take it, he started to slightly giggle at first thinking it was just a prank from one of the other students until the train was forced to a stop and running footsteps down the corridor could be heard. Elliot pulled out his wand as Emira and Karen stood to their feet read the message and rushed out the room. Elliot was a bit slower, he wanted to make sure of the situation before running in. “Lumos.” He said in a calm voice and soon after a ball of light lit up the carriage. He picked up the note and read it and re-read it. If you endeavour to join our cause come to the shrieking shack on the first visit to Hogshead. All will be explained there… What a strange way to try and recruit people. Elliot thought to himself.

As he was staring at the note somebody came into the room only for a moment, it was Professor Bellfree, the Defence Against the Darks Arts teacher. Elliot wasn’t really the biggest fan of him thinking he wasn’t suited for a teaching position. A few seconds after the professor had left the room, Elliot left as well looking for Karen. It didn’t take him long and shouted out to her, “Karen is everything okay?"
