It's fine for the most part, I think, but Luanne slipped in behind Selena, Kate, and David and pointed a shotgun at their backs while their concentration was on Dot. She also would have tried to go back into hiding after she heard Callum banging on the door so as to stay hidden, but I didn't post as much so it's entirely possible she was discovered then. Probably not before, though.I really wanted to see how the three would react when they turned around to see an identical girl with a shotgun pointed at them.

Sorry about that Shisa. I just wasn't entirely sure if Xenonia's post was inferring you would slip away before the three of them realized you were there. I could always go back and edit it if you would like. Though it might not be tonight, considering I have class early tomorrow.

Selina

Selina's brows pulled together, watching the girl warily as the rifle barrel switched between herself and David. Ever so slowly, her hand ebbed towards her knife, hidden away in the folds of her pants pocket. She wasn't sure what a knife could do to a rifle; not much, really. But there was a sort of reassurance in knowing she had some sort of small defense, should a bullet to the face miss her.

Kate had a handgun, three bullets left, salvaged from the rotting corpse of a headless police officer. Selina had given her an ultimatum: the gun was only to be used in dire situations. Three bullets was precious little ammunition to waste. Instead, they had found a wooden baseball bat for her, which stuck out oddly from her backpack, too long to fit within the zipper.

David had equipped himself with a crowbar that fit well with his tall, broad, not necessarily muscular, but fit, frame. From her peripheral vision, Selina could just barely make out the edge of his face, eyebrows pulling downwards in what she could only imagine was a similar expression to her own. It was complicated, being faced with a violent situation that involved children. Selina couldn't imagine hurting, much less killing this girl.

"We don't got parents. Not anymore, at least. Now, who are you an' what do you want?"

"'We'," Selina echoed, blinking in confusion. She had only seen one girl. But 'we' implied...

"Um," Kate whimpered from behind Selina sounding full of distress.

Looking back, all three were shocked to dicover another girl, identical to one in front of them, pointing a shotgun to their backs.

"Shiiiiit," David hissed, jumping at least an inch in the air.

Selina and David both blinked a few times, taking a while before the idea of "twins" struck either one of them.

Selina felt her entire body tense with stress; this girl could have easily clipped Kate, and Selina would have been useless in defending her. She could feel tiny beads of sweat rolling down her forhead and her back. It had been okay, being face to face with the first young lady, but the situation was beginning to feel more and more like an ambush.

"Now...girls," Selina said, waving to them both, voice trembling ever so slightly, "You wouldn't hurt a pregnant lady, would you?" She gestured nervously to Kate's tiny baby bump, rubbing the red head's back in what she hoped was comforting circles.

These girls were so young...too young to be fighting for their lives like this. They looked tired and nervous and Selina couldn't blame them. She was feeling the same way, right about now. And they're too, too, young not to have parents. She thought sympathetically. She could feel Kate clutching tightly onto her shirt. She was anxious, and that only made Selina even more nervous. God, was this the future of their unborn daughter?

Before either girl could repond, a faint rasp of a voice penetrated through the doors. The girl with the rifle must have heard it too, because she said, "Open that door back up. Somebody's out there, needs our help. Might be hurt or somethin'."

Admittedly, neither of the three adults present found it very appealing taking orders from children. But that didn't matter, so much as whoever had called out to them from the other side of the door. Together, David and Selina quickly dismantled the makeshift barricade they had placed on the door when they had entered. Carefully, David pulled the doors apart. Selina could see his eyes go wide as light filtered through the crack in the door framing a small silhouette.

"You've got to be kidding me," he grumbled, staring down at the boy standing at the entrance of the pharmacy, clearly frightened and look pretty worn out. He couldn't have been much younger than the two girls, maybe 10 or 11.

"You're okay sweetie," Kate interjected, before David said anything stupid, and Selina let out a sigh of relief at her quick thinking partner. David needed to learn how to control his mouth around kids. Selina smiled, gesturing for the boy to come inside, and hoping the girl would lower her rifle and possibly lower the tension that had built up in the room till then.

Callum

Callum almost started crying he was so relieved and as such quickly scrambled to get inside, the case in his hands almost slipping. Outside however, the sounds of shoes slapping against pavement and the loud breathing had attracted some very... Well unattractive attention in the form of around 20 walkers deciding that they to needed the medication inside the pharmacy. And of course, being the nice zombies that they were that meant that they had friends coming to!

Inside the pharmacy Callum looked from the two woman to two girls holding guns. He instantly felt safe and sighed. He grabbed a water from his backpack and took several long gulps then clutched his head before speaking. "Thanks, i'm not sure how much longer I could run." His voice was the usual higher pitch, the no were near puberty sort of sound yet wasn't the annoying shrill sound some boys could get. He nodded all around and clutched his head again, "anyone got some advil?"

Selina

"We don't," Selina said gesturing to her small group of three, "and I'm not sure these-" she paused midsentence realizing she still didn't know the names of the two girls. "I'm not sure these young ladies have any either. But look around you kid. This place has got to have something take what you need."

"But first," Kate interrupted, "I think maybe it's time for names."

Just as she was about to introduce herself a loud moan pierced the air. Turning around Selina's eyes went wide. The doors, which David had been trying to secure again, were slowly pushing inward. Behind them Selina could hear the low growls of multiple walkers. By the sound of it, there had to be at least ten, maybe more. Probably more, she thought warily, feeling her stomach turn queasy.

"Steady yourselves guys," David said in a panicked voice, backing away quickly, crowbar in hand.

The deadly silence before they burst through was mind numbing. It felt like hours, but literally only seconds passed before they were flowing in. Selina only had time to look back and see that Kate had her baseball bat trembling in her clutch.

In the next moments Selina was slicing the head of a walker clean of it's shoulders. Beside her David was doing his best to, struggling with a zombie who was missing an entire hand and most its other fingers. Selina made sure to keep herself firmly planted in front of Kate. She just hoped the kids could handle themselves.

Callum

Callum drooped his eyes and nodded slipping away to try and find something to take for a headache. He could still hear the others up at the front but wasn't really paying them any mind. "useless, vitamins, vitamins, stomach pain, ugh.." He got to the end of the row then brightened seeing Ibuprofen and ripped into the box popping three into his mouth and washing them down with a big gulp of water. He smiled and threw a whole armload of medicine into his backpack just as he heard the sound of the front door basically get busted down. Trying to think of something to do, the boy started beating the case on the ground to get it to open, but of course it wouldn't even budge on the clips.

He was still working on it when a zombie started 'running' towards him, screaming like a girl Callum swung the case up as hard as he possibly could and actually took the zombie's head off sending it spiraling into the man who had opened the door for him.
