Darla Ann
Mckenzie was right, I had completely missed the group of people not too far down the road. The sound of Pierre's condescending voice was just too distracting, not to mention the migraine and head wound. The three of us walked towards the small group of people, a woman and two men, and as we drew closer, I could hear Pierre mumbling something under his breath. 'Who is Jeremy?' I wondered to myself. I was surprised by how tender his high and mighty sounded, but the moment passed quickly.
I rolled my eyes at Pierre's introductions. Daria? Really? He hadn't even tried to remember the Ann part. Oh well, not that it particularly mattered. I had been blessed with worse nicknames before. And now the young woman who had previously been so distraught was now snapping at Pierre. 'Hey, seems familiar enough,' I thought with a smirk. When she handed her flare gun to one of the guys and shot a suspicious eye towards Pierre, I laughed audibly. "He wouldn't waste any bullets on us, don't worry. Right Dad?" I was going to milk that silly mistake as long as I could, if only because it was an awful joke to hold onto at the end of the world.
And then the young woman began to scream something about shooting dead kids. "What are you even talking about?!" I yelled as I ran over to her, catching her by the elbow. I couldn't see any children, dead or alive...
