Can we make it?

This may perhaps had been the strangest of things to happen to the girl on her way home, or that had ever happened to her in her life. The man had spoken again, though as he melted back into the shadows, and she nearly stepped forward, she realized what it was that she was about to do. Follow a stranger? No chance in Hell was she that stupid. Shaking her head to clear her mind she watched until she was sure that the man was gone, no sign of him around her. "He's gone." She told herself, trying to convince her nerves that there was no one nearby, no eyes watching her. A deep breath, a moment of silence, and she was off walking again.

Less willing to be out in the dark longer than she had to be, she took a glance at the street, making sure there was no one driving in her direction before she cut across, heading for a larger park just down the block. She could cut through it to shorten her walk home, assuming there was no one there that she would need to avoid. As she reached the park she didn't see anyone, shoving her hands in her jean pockets to warm up her freezing fingers she continued her walk. Old sneakers barely managed to keep out the damp of the afternoons rain and dew beginning to collect on each blade of grass. "Fuck it's cold." She shivered slightly, her strides growing longer as she hurried on her way home. It was still halfway across town from this park, thanks to her detours at trying to rid herself of the eyes watching her.

When she thought about it though, she would rather be out late to look at the stars, hoping that her uncle would be asleep by the time she returned to the house. She would be in trouble, but not as much as if she had been living with her father still.

I AM THE FACTIONLESS

Lol

Anyway.

I'm working on my post for after the time skip, since a little bit of it is before the time skip. I don't intend for her to do too much sleeping tonight haha

Hooray for long winded and pointless arguments! Note: ALL OF THE SARCASM

I don't mind collaborative posting if it actually has a point, but when almost every post is one, it just turns into a bunch of 1x1's. Kat and Ethan's reactions in one point made sense. The NPC characters in SC group also made sense. So until y'all are done arguing you can take it to PM because nobody else actually cares or wants to see it.

Can we make it?

It was not the image before her, or the fact that she was falling that alarmed her the most; it was the arm that wrapped around her slender form. Fingers grasped her arm, another hand on her hip, cushioning her until she was almost leaning back against the one who had stopped her from falling. Being touched by a stranger, no matter how good the intentions are, sent a spasmodic shiver down her spine. His grip was too strong and his ability to lift her so easily too much for her to not assume a man. The lack of breasts against her back just another clue. The grip on her arm loosened, fingers trailing along her arm, raising goosebumps along the way. She wished she'd worn a sweater right then, as the air seemed to drop in temperature as her body started to heat up.

The moment she was free she turned to look at who it was that was leaning toward her, whispering just loud enough for her to hear. Her eyes wide, pupils taking over her irises, growing in size from fear and shock, though a sensation of curiosity began to settle in her bone as he spoke. A shiver ran up her spine, dragging the cold with it until it reached the base of her neck. She found her body relaxing slightly, though still tense and ready to run from her own pure instinct. Regardless of how loud her body was screaming at her to run, she didn't move from her spot, watching the man as her touched her shoulder again, his fingers lighting up her shoulder. Heat rose to her skin then, surely a spot of red on her cheeks, giving her pale palour some colour. He was nearly out of reach, seeming to go back into the shadows beyond the lamp post. A last second response, a near miss and a gasp later.

She was holding his hand.

In hers.

"Holy shit."

The blonde immediately let go, pulling away embarrassed but still determined to say her piece, even if it was short, boring or he laughed her her. "Why did you catch me? Where did you even come from?! I was watching and you weren't there and suddenly you were! There's my alleyway, here, and I should have seen your shadow and-" She smacked a hand over her mouth, stopping her rambling tangent before she said anything really embarrassing. She'd stopped a total stranger who had probably just been passing by and doing her a favour. "But those fangs. . . " Her mumbles were mixed with many apologies as she bowed her head, too afraid to look the man in the face.

"Hello there. I come in pieces," she said, lowering hew voice by a few octaves and raising a hand, splitting four fingers into two in a classic peace symbol.

@Acromantula

A) That line is fucking perfect.

B) 'Classic peace symbol' as in Star Trek?

*reads up on all the OOC* And this is what happens when you go to work all day and come back when everyone is gone. I guess I'll just keep working on my post. Since most of it is going to happen while most of the other characters are sleeping haha.

*reads through IC* wtf is that miserable little free post doing here? *failed attempt to keep shock and bewilderment inside*

*proceeds to keep typing things*

@alexfangtalon
About 2hrs if you take the Coastal Highway. Just under one the Number 5.

Which one are we on?

The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

Well if we're about halfway then there's trees on one side and buildings on the other. So I'll just go with that for now. It's only a ten minute drive between Dana Point and San Clemente
