Preslee Wallace
Location: Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, Georgia (F2) -> (E2)
While the two walked, Preslee had remained quiet for the most part, listening to the unnerving sounds of the dead stumbling through the swamps. The anxiety building up within her was almost visible as her eyes darted from left to right. When Erica spoke up, there was a slight relief, something to take her mind off of everything.
"Before..." Presley's forehead seemed to crease as she thought hard about her life prior to the hell they currently lived in. She bit her lip as as fought back the urge to scream in frustration, wanting nothing more to be able to turn back time.
"I, um, I was a Zoologist. I was interning to be a conservation scientist as well as getting my applications an papers ready to submit for grad school." A smile had begun to form on Preslee's face as she recalled her time and all of her hard work. She had fought hard and studied even harder to get the recognition that she had.
"I had planned to take a quick holiday up to visit my parents, or vacation as Americans say it, we're from Manchester." Just as quickly as the smile begun to form on the young woman's face, it began to face with the thoughts of her parents whereabouts in their current world. Before dealing too deep in her thoughts, she looked over quickly to Erica to distract herself.
"What about you? You seem to handle yourself pretty well out here, so I'm thinking you had some sort of high pressure training." As if on cue, Preslee heard the barking and snarling that Erica pointed out almost immediately. She had never really been too much of a dog person, always taking to felines. Dogs, while cute, had the ability to tear and arm or leg apart in seconds.
"If we keep to ourselves and don't make too much noise they won't attack. That's if they see us to begin with." She began to pick up her pace, just by a bit, having fallen behind Erica. She did not know what the camping site would hold for them, but all she knew was that she needed to sit down and think about what the game plan was. If she would choose to stick with Erica or stay at the site and make it a shelter for as long as she could.
