Sweater Weather [Inactive]

(So we are taking place right after the blizzard)


Samantha woke up her cheek laying in the hard cold ice. She moved her stiff cold fingers slowly , warming them up before pushing herself up and looking around and the horrific site in front of her. There was nothing except ice and broken houses and people laying, scattered on the floor. Sammy had a feeling they weren't asleep on the floor. She stood all the way up her feet crunching on the cold ice floor. The blizzard... It took away everything... Dad! Sammy ran into the house, only to find her father frozen. His face was as white as the snow, his lips were a pale blue, and right on top of him was a chunk of what use to be the roof. Tears warm tears swept down her cheeks and to her lips, but she knew better to sit a weep she had to get up and get moving before dark, time to grieve would come latter. She got up, she packed all she needed that could fit in a backpack and put on a extra sweater or two before stepping out into the cold.
 
Jacob opened his eyes his body was covered in gravel from his house crumbling but somehow he happen to survive , He felt the chilly breeze brushing against his cheek he used his strength to push the board off himself slowly stumbling to his feet , His spiked hair dancing in the cold chilly draft he had already had a pull over on from before the blizzard . Pulling the hood over his head he screams into the loud roaring winds " Dad ! " His father was the only person home at the time of the storm his mom had went out shopping for food . After a few moments of silents he notice a pale arm beneath the gravel " No no... No ! " He rushed over moving as much as he could once he got to the body he realized it was to late his father had frozen to death tears begin to drop down his cheek before freezing . After several minutes he chipped them off and decided to begin his journey toward the nearest town where his mom went shopping .

Alex woke up to the loud creaking of the house and the wind roaring outside. Her eyes opened slowly and the ice on her eyelashes fell down her cheeks. Her foster parents were probably dead. She didn't care. She stood slowly and looked in her closet for her snow suit. After putting it on she packed clothes and some supplies.


A large crack of the sound of the roof indicated the house wasn't going to be standing for long. She quickly rushed out and headed outside shivering. Worse outside than in the house. She shivered again and started walking down the street, wondering if anyone she knew were still alive. Probably not.
 
Timothy was wake up against the of the library. "What happened? "he said to himself. He shook his head to get the snow off of it. He stood up and looked around. There was frozen bodies every where. Timothy was in shock.


"How could this have happen?"


He looked down and grab the bag that he had with with him. Tim ran to his house as fast as he could worrying about his family. It was hard to get through the snowy area but, he made it. When he got to his house he notice the car was gone. He went to the house door and opened it. It was unlocked. He went inside and called his family members. There was no answer. Tim went to the kitchen and saw a note on the counter top. He picked it up and read it out load. It talked about his family going to a shelter and if he came home go to the shelter. He put down the letter and went his room and packed his clothes. He looked in a mirror in his room and sighed. Before he left his room , he checked if he was missing anything. He saw his video camera. He thought for a little bit and picked it up and left his room. He went back to the kitchen and grabbed a apple. It was the only thing that would still taste good freeze and left the house. He didn't know where the shelter was but it was probably near the next town.
 
Selmas eyes fluttered open when an edgeless icicle hit her head. Scolding, she sat up, and touched the aching place. Her hands were shivering, and she could hardly feel the tips of her finger.What the heck happened? While trying to warm them up with her breath, she looked around the room. It seemed like the whole place had been located in a freezer. She did not know the reason for the sudden change in the weather, but for some reason, it felt awfully wrong. Gladly, she had fallen asleep dressed. Frightened, she supressed the thought what might have happened if she hadn't. "Emma," suddenly she remembered her friend. Had she survived the weather change? Slipping on her greatcoat and some boots hastily, she headed for her friends room. The window was broken ,and the whole room was covered with snow. In the middle of the room there was Emma lying in the powdery snow. Her skin was pale, nearly blue, and her eyelashes did not even flutter with Selmas arival.

"Shit." Her voice was trembling as she scolded, and sat down next to her friend. She touched Emma's face and gave the white cheek a salty kiss as there were tears running down her face. Selma wanted to stay with her friend, but knew that she would also freeze if she did so. "Em, I'm sorry." Looking at the blue eyes for one more time, she stood up and left the room. The wind felt cold on her face and suddenly, she wanted to leave this house. Hastily she turned around and left for her room where started to pack her bag with things that seemed to be useful. Selma left the building within seconds, but when she looked at the snowscape in front of her, she hesitated. What was she supposed to do now?
 
Sammy started walking her hands tightly gripping the bands of her backpack. She wasn't so sure where she was going to go, but she knew she couldn't just stand there feeling sorry, she had to keep her body moving. She wondered if anyone else was alive? She then stopped remebering her best friend Jacob. Did he make it? He had to. He just had to. She ran as fast as her legs could, through the think layer of snow. She know's where she is going now. To Jacob's house. She had to see if he was okay, his house wasn't too far if she hurried she'd be there in no time. As she ran, Sammy hung on to that thin hope that her best friend made it.
 
Before Jacob left the house he realized he forget something very important . Be turned around trying his best to ignore the freezing cold he open the door to his house and rushed upstairs . Busting into his fathers room after rumbling through a few clothes he found a box he slowly opened the box revealing a hand gun with one clip "12 " bullets he quickly grabs the weapon and placed it in his belt . He reached on top of the closet and grabs a Samurai sword putting the strap across his torso" There might be a lot of dangerous people out here " He mumbled to himself before taking a deep breath " Thanks for everything you taught me father " . He said staring at his picture on the wall .

Sammy runs faster, keeping her body moving. She kept focus on her legs moving and tried to keep her mind out of the freezing cold weather. She passes a frozen nieghborhood covered in ice. Samantha ran up to the familiar house, now covered in ice. She cracked open the door a bit afraid of what she might see. "Jacob?" she asked her voice coming out a louder than she expected.
 
Alex saw a girl peeking into someones house and quickly hid behind a car quietly. She wouldn't let herseld be killed. No. Not yet. She coughed a little, or get sick. She looked over the car and watched the girl call for someones name "Jacob" Hmm... She knew a Jacob. But they never really talked before. She just knew he lived down the street from her. She slowly started to walk forward "Uhm... Hello?" she said to the girl
 
Selma looked over the snowscape. It would have been a peaceful sight if there weren't masses of destroyed houses in front of her. Pieces of wood and stone everywhere and if she turned around her head, she could see cars stacked by the storm. Selma didn't dare to look at the lifeless bodies, and started to head for the town. Emma's house was located near the woods, and apart from the other houses. Maybe, if she was able to reach the town, she could find any living people. She couldn't be the only one who survived the night.
 
Sammy turned around to see a girl standing Behind her. She stepped back a bit putting some distant a between her and the girl.her eyes wondered up and down her for a moment, the girl seemed to mean no harm and looked just as shaken up as her, maybe even more. She let out a small soft smile. "Hi, I'm Sammy," she said introducing herself. "Is it only you?" She asked. She only saw the girl but maybe she came from somewhere where there were some more survivors.

Alex nodded "Yea...it's just me" She looked around "unless someone's following me" she teased and smiled just to lighten the sad cold mood. She looked at the girl and giggled "So who's Jacob?" She raised an eyebrow. (My posts are small when I'm brain farted or grumpy so... sorry about this post)
 
Timothy was walking in the deep snow with one arm over his face to prevent snow from getting in his face. He walked in a random direction hoping he was going in the right direction. He look down at his video camera. wondering why he brought with him. He guessed cause it was so expensive or something completely different like for video taping this situation. If he capture this and he survives this will be a great documentary but, if he dies this will be great found footage. Either was good with him. He didn't care.


As he went deep into the area he couldn't see anything until, a bright light appeared. He ran as fast as he could to the light to see what it was.


A car. He had found a car and it was still working. He tried to look inside but, the glass was frozen to a point where you could see nothing. Timothy tried opening the door but it was locked. He thought for a second and looked at his hand. "I got it." He said to himself as he elbowed the glass but setting off the alarm. He put his arm through the window and unlocked the door. Timothy open the door and looked through the car.

His bright blue eyes scanned the area as he walked toward the steps his spoke lightly " Who is it " He pressed his back against the corner of the stairs waiting on a responds when he heard two female voices he listen closely once he heard the name same he burst out the door " Sammy ! " the ice on the stairs caught him off guard and he slipped hitting his back "onch ! " He held the gun tightly so he didn't lose it the sword was tightly strapped so it didn't move

"Jacob is my best friend," she told the girl, then the next thing knew Jacob was running down the stairs. "Jacob!" She said happily. "Wait be careful you migh-," before she could even finish he had slipped. She quickly made her way towrds him. She helped him get up then gave him a hug. She was so happy he was alright. Sammy pulled away remembering the girl she had just met. "Jacob this is um..." She realized she didn't know the girls name.

"I'm Alex" she looked at Jacob "I think I know you..." she said to the boy "I live...or lived... just down the street in the house on the corner" she pointed to the house then smiled. "Glad some people are alive"
 
Selma shouldered her heavy backpack and followed the path which connected Emma's house with the small town. While she walked past trees and shrubs, she thought wether her parents were still alive or not. Suddenly, she felt bad about leaving them without saying farewell. Her eyes filled with tears.Her parents had always been so kind and caring -- they didn't deserve a daughter like her.


The snow was high and every now and then, Selma found herself reaching for a boot which stuck in it. She wasn't in love with winter at all, Selma had always been a fan of hot and sunny days. When she looked up again, she could suddenly make out the town's roofs in the distance. She started to walk faster, and after a couple of minutes she had reached the first house. It had been a pretty town, she had always liked it.


Suddenly, she heard a loud noise which sounded like cracking glass. Selma stopped and recognized a car which was placed a several meters away from her. Then, she saw a boy opening the car door.The window was broken, probably a product of the boy's hand. Selma hesitated.
 
Timothy found a flash light, a lighter, and a pocket knife. He got out of the and look around. "Who would leave this in a car?" He said aloud to himself. Right then he heard a noise, the car ran out out of battery and shut down. "Hm, looks like I got here right on time."


Before he left he popped the trunk and checked the back.
 
Selma saw the boy looking through the car. She wasn't sure wether it would be risky to approach him or not. It hadn't been a secret that there were lots of drunkards and dangerous people in the town, but maybe he was somebody she could trust in. When the boy seemed like he was about to leave the car, Selma finally summoned the courage to shout. "Hey there!"
 
" Thanks " Once Jacob made his way to his feet he recognize. The female and faintlysmiled " I know you Alex im happy your alright " He said in a comforting tone after hugging sammy he poked her forhead like old times " We are going to freeze to death if we don't find a warm shelter soon " With that said the snow begin to build up on the ground making the snow raise

Timothy looked through the trunk and only found a tire. " Well, there is nothing else here." He said as he closed the trunk. Timothy was about to leave when he heard a voice.


He turned and looked in to the distance. A figure of a girl appeared. H wasn't sure if he should go over their. He thought a bout it but, remembered it is better to be in a pack especially in this kinda of condition. He was still cautious. He walked slowly toward her, not taking a eye off her, watching for subtle movements.
 
Sammy couldn't help but smile as he pocked her head, it was like for one moment things weren't so bad. Yet then the cold snapped her out of it and brought her back to reality. "Yeah we should get moving before nightfall hits and it gets any colder than it already is," Samantha said and then began to walk.
 
" Then we head towards the town " Jacob begin to walk closely behind her before quickly catching up to her side . His bright blue eyes cut over at her as he pulled the hood over his head as the snow hit his black pull over repeatedly . He mad sure he hide the gun beneath his pull over so if they where being watched the person or things wouldn't see it his sword sat high over his shoulder you couldnt miss it " I wonder if There are any scavengers around here keep and eye out " He mumbled under the breeze so only she could here

Sammy eyes scanned the horizon, but she saw nothing but a canvas of white covering the floor. She kept walking looking ahead, but kept a good view of her surroundings, making sure if there was someone following them she would see it. "If there were don't you think they would have confronted us already? We are pretty much out in the open," she stated staying close to him.
