Realistic or Modern The Beginning of the End

Tom jumped up and went to the door, "Carl, NEVER open the door like that again." Tom looked at him sternly, "Always ask who it is first, okay pal?" He bent down and kissed the top of Carl's head, then rustled his hair, "Go brush your teeth." He looked at Scarlet and smiled, he leaned in, at first to kiss her, but then caught himself, and went for her cheek, giving it a quick peck. "Morning, Scarlet, Jenna."
 
Scarlet blushes a bit and kisses his cheek back. "Morning Tom." she said softly while looking at him and nods to inside. "Can we come in?" she said while raising a brow and smiling a bit in amusement. Jenna smiles and giggles into her hand a bit.
 
".. I wanna' say hi, too..." Carl murmured. He was a little upset that he'd made Tom angry, but he tried to brush it aside. He walked up and hugged Jenna and Scarlet and smiled. ".. You can come in, guys... We're all friends!" He said simply, followed by turning and dashing upstairs to brush his teeth. Eric soon walked out and looked at them both.


"Oh, hi." He smiled and went up to them - he gave a friendly hug to Scarlet. He was on much better grounds with her after all the stuff they'd done together over the month. He then went to Jenna and gave her a bit more of an affectionate hug. ".. Nice to see you both so early." He said as he stepped back to stand beside Tom. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)
 
"You guys eat yet? I can burn some toast and over cook some bacon, Im pretty good at that." Tom smiled at the duo, then watched Eric hug Jenna. Tom looked back at Scarlet, "Also what are you doing tonight? I was thinking maybe you could help me entertain Carl while these two go out on their little date?"
 
"I don't know... I still think I should go look for Johnathan..... But if someone was outside of the house, I wouldn't feel safe leaving you and Cole all alone." She thought hard and long on this before turning to Mark with her hands on her hips. "I've decided what were gonna do. We're gonna go looking for Johnathan. So strap in Coley! Were going for a ride. With that she grabbed her shovel and waited by the door for Mark and Cole.


----


Johnathan had been looking for a auto shop for awhile before he found one. Mostly of the stuff there had already been taken. He decided he would take what he needed. He started shoving random tools into his bag, not caring what he picked up.
 
Eric went red. "Uh--.. Yeah. I think Carl would like that." He cleared his throat as he quickly ran his eyes across to Jenna and then back at Scarlet. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)


 
".. Sure, I guess." Mark sighed and strapped Cole into the baby carrier and then put him on his back. He walked to the door with Maria and then pushed it open - as soon as they got to the bottom of the porch, something clicked inside Mark's head, and he knew something wasn't right. ".. We need to go back inside." He whispered. (@AvidElmV2)
 
Jenna blushes quite a bit and hides behind her long red hair, her freckles becoming quite noticeable due to the pink hue on her soft pale cheeks. Scarlet smiles a bit. "I suppose I could and thank you for the offer Tom, but we ate before coming over since i like my food not burnt." she said while grinning a bit in amusement at him. (@DrTrollinski, @DrCompton)
 
"Because we're not alone." He whispered, his voice almost shaking. He shot his eyes about, and he knew that he saw movement out there. The bending of metal was a trap, evidently. Johnathan was nowhere in sight thus far, so he hoped he was okay, but he grabbed Maria by the hand and quickly backed up towards the door and walked her in. He slammed it shut and slowly walked backwards towards the stairs, dragging her with him. ".. Trust me... There's someone else out there. We were being watched." He muttered as quietly as he could, his eyes locked on the glass panes of the door. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)
 
Maria was about to start arguing but she plopped down on the couch and kept silent.


-----


Johnathan had just finished looting the store when he saw something moving. He pulled out his 44. Magnum and whipped around, scanning the area for anymore movements. He left the shop and made his way back home.
 
There was a slam at the door and Mark instantly dragged Maria upstairs and into the back bedroom that he stayed in. He put Cole in her arms and sighed as he pulled his Colt M1911 from his holster. ".. Maria--.. You take care of him. Whatever you do, don't leave this room until I come back for you." He whispered - he kissed Cole on the head and then hugged Maria before quickly leaving the room and closing the door. He wasn't liking this one bit, but he had to defend the only people he had left, even if it meant dying in the process. He heard the door fly open. He stepped back into another bedroom and kept his gun aimed at the stairs - there were too many footsteps for him to know how many there were. He waited.


Three. Two. One.


He fired the first shot and hit the first man in the neck - he was instantly sprayed by a barrage of bullets right after but he quickly got down behind the bed for cover. He heard Cole start to scream, and he knew he couldn't let them get to him - he went for it - he spotted two more men, so he quickly jumped up and shot them both as well - his hands were shaking, but he was sure they were the last ones. He'd killed before, but not like that - that shook him up. All the blood and all the bodies were stuck in his mind. He ran over to the room Maria and Cole were in and was about to open the door when he felt something tear through the flesh of his upper left arm - it didn't hit the bone. It went straight through him and through the door into the room - it struck the wall behind Maria, and Mark only wailed in agony as he spun around and sat against the door. In the split-second he had he brought the gun to aim and fired three shots at the one last man that had been lurking behind the others. He tumbled down the stairs after being hit, finally dying when he hit the bottom. Mark could feel himself passing out. He was in so much pain and there was blood everywhere. He slowly slumped down against the door while sobbing and crying. Soon enough, he passed out to the sound of Cole screaming. (@Soul OMU)

(@Beowulf - We had a month's time-skip. I'll quote your section of the post.)

The small group had gone up to North Dakota and were camping up in a forest up there with all of their military surplus gear - during the month they'd made numerous runs back to towns to loot other surplus stores, as well as to get canned goods and bottled water, just in case there was ever an inconsistency of resources up by where they were staying - they were camping up by a stream that had fresh water running - they didn't know if there were any other survivors camped out up here, but they hadn't seen anyone thus far.


They had three three man tents there - they were durable and undamaged, and they were newly picked up. They'd forgotten to grab any more tents, and currently, they'd settled on sharing tents. Dominic and Daniel had a tent to themselves, Conner did as well, but Kendrick and James were forced to be tent-buddies and they had to share. There was plenty of room, and over the month, Dominic, Daniel, and Kendrick had become more trusting with James than they were before, so all was well. Daniel asked Conner to take him out hunting this morning, so he was hoping that he would wake him up early today and take him out, because over the month he'd asked Conner to teach him how to make and use a bow so that they didn't make too much noise while they were hunting. The wild game was rich up here.
 
Tom walked with Scarlet and smiled, "How'd you sleep last night?" He looked at her and pulled out some cereal and made a bowl for Carl, he'd be just about down with his brushing now. "Also I've been thinking, we need to get walkie talkies, so you and I can stay up late at night and gossip about all the cute boys at school." He winked at her.
 
"So you think you'll stay tonight while the kiddos are on their date? I still haven't decided if Im going to watch TOy Story or Monsters Inc." He grinned a little as he poured himself some milk and sipped at it.
 
Eric could hear the talk of walkie talkies. A convenient idea, but they'd be better off with police radios. They'd be far more efficient. He'd bring that up in a bit. He heard Carl running down the stairs after he'd used the bathroom and brushed his teeth - he almost ran right by, but he saw Eric with Jenna and then screeched to a halt. He grinned up at them.


"Are you goin' on a date tonight?" He asked. Eric rolled his eyes and nodded.


"Yeah, buddy... We are. Why?"


"Are you gonna' kiss, and stuff?" He asked. Eric blushed again.


"I... Uh... I don't... know?" He said hesitantly. He didn't want to say yes, and he didn't want to say no either.


"Come on... All girls and boys that go on dates kiss, all the time!" He grinned, Eric laughed loudly and crouched down to get to face-level with him and ruffle his hair. He looked up at Jenna and smirked.


"Looks like we've got a little lady-killer on our hands, Jen." He said. He sent Carl away and Carl ran off to the kitchen to join Scarlet and Tom. He jumped up onto the table to sit opposite Scarlet and smiled.


"Hi, Scarlet! Hi, daddy!" He said excitedly. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)
 
Maria slowly opens the door. She tries to comfort the crying child but Cole continues. She saw the bodies on the floor and ran out the room looking for Cole. She turns around a to see him lying on the wall. He gets on her knees and starts to cry some.

Johnathan heard all commotion from inside the house and runs in with his magnum out. Once he see's Mark on the floor, he holsters his gun and rips off some of his shirt sleeve, wrapping the cloth tight around Mark's arm. It was the best he knew how to treat a bullet wound.
 
Cole was screaming the house down and kicking and struggling, but Mark was still. He was bleeding profusely, and the cloth quickly became red but hopefully it would stop some of the blood flow. He didn't move. He was breathing, but he was pale and sweaty - the almost empty gun was at his side, still warm from the shooting. There was nothing he could do right now. He didn't know if he was dead or alive, but at least the bullet went right through. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)


 
(Remember the five minute rule, guys. If it directly involves one person in the RP, wait at least 5-10 minutes for them to get a reply in so you don't advance forward too much.)
 
Tom pushed the bowl of frosted flakes over to the boy and gave him a spoon. 'Morning pal." He smiled, then looked at Scarlet, "Details? Of their date, or something else Im not getting?" He raised a brow and watched her.
 
".. Thanks, daddy." He started munching on the cereal. Chef knew how to make a good batch of frosted flakes, that was for sure. He slurped the milk from his spoon and also ate the cereal at a fairly quick rate as well. (@Soul OMU

Eric walked in and sat down beside Jenna at the table, beside Scarlet. He smiled and raised one eyebrow as he looked between the two. ".. So. We went from me suggesting police radios, to the date plan I had." He chuckled. "Seems realistic." He added before laughing once again and looking around, sighing. This was almost like a real family life again - he wasn't sure how he felt about it. He liked it, but there was a different feeling there as well. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)
