((Lol when Alex kr Troye was like "what is this, highschool musical?" I shoulda made Jessica say, "I don't know but its better than broke back mountain" (a gay love show where two men go camping or whatever)and SHOTS FIRED is basically add water to the burned area))
"Why don't we take separate trips, it'd be a lot safer, and faster. wouldn't it ?" Phillip asked the man, he didn't like the idea of splitting the group up, but he felt it was probably the best decision. If even some of them could make it to a safer area, he would be glad. For if they all headed there on foot, the chances of something happening to someone was greater, he'd stay back until everyone else was able to make it to the city if the others agreed on his solution.
"Sure, i guess that could work. I'll take on group and Alex could take the other half, but it would probably be better if we just found a van. You guys have to get out of these woods, as odd as it seems, the city is actually clearer than these woods." Troye said standing and dusting off his jeans. "We should probably find you guys some clothes too, there's a few department stores in town that are still pretty full." Alex said looking around seeing that some of the kids only had on short sleeves.
Jessica stood "we should leave now, night is most dangerous for hordes, and we could get attacked at any moment. None of us have slept in a while. So we should go." She crossed her arms and shrugged. I'll go with the walking group. The ingured should go with Troye. So that means MacKenzie, Charlie and Phillip. My sister should go since Charlie and Phillip tend to fight a lot..."
Emi shook her head, "this is crazy..." she groaned and laid down on the ground.
"A van would be convenient, but where are we going to find an operational van, full on gas with the keys inside, in the middle of the woods." Phillip gave them a look questioning their intelligence. "Get out of la-la land and use common sense." Once again, he probably started a fight, but he was too pissed off to even care.
When Jessica proposed that he, Charlie and Emi should go ahead while the others walked he shook his head. He was telling her that he wasn't leaving Sage, without speaking. He didn't want it to be obvious, and he figured Jessica was smart enough to clue in.
Sage sorta liked the idea of a shower, she found out she would be walking all the way to the "magic town" she kinda groaned. She was sorta sick of walking, And she wanted to be in the heated car.
"Let me just go ahead and tell you man, there's plenty of dead traffic stopped up on the highway we'll be taking , and most of them are in perfect condition. That's where we got the car we have now, so I suggest that if we are going to go them we go now. " Troye said taking out a cell phone. "We can use this to light the way." He said smirking as he turned on the phones flashlight.
"Hmmm then maybe we can go find a van." Jessica nodded and grabbed hef backpack. She helped Emi up and handed her her backpack. "You two lead the way." She said to the boys after making sure her group was ready to go. She checked out Troye again and smirked
Emi shook her head "crazy" she mumbled again and stood beside her sister. Emi rolled her eyes. Seeing her sister checking out Troye.
Phillip followed the rest of the group, partly because he volunteered to guard the rear, and party because of his leg. He always had his knife out, ready for something but lately it seemed like he hasn't been able to use it. Hopefully these men were trustworthy enough to bring them to this city, I mean, if they're looking for his wife why are they wasting time on a bunch of kids? This question bounced around Phillip's thoughts for a while, but eventually he came to the realization that he didn't care, maybe he'd be having a shower by this time tomorrow.
Sage grabbed her backpack and Justices. It was really heavy carrying both bags, but she needed to take Justices too. "Do you need help kid?" Alex said watching Sage struggle.
"Yeah thanks." Sage said handing over Justices bag, Alex lifted it with ease. "What's your name?" Alex said walking behind Troye. "Sage Tarrant." She said adjusting her backpack straps. "Nice, I'm Alex, so where's your family?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "My older brother died about a week ago (HAHAHAH) and my parents were killed during the Nashville bombing. She said looking down. "Oh.. Sorry for your loss.." Alex said, he began feeling awkward. Sage looked around, Philip was trailing behind most the group. "Bye." Sage said walking torward the back torwards Philip. "Why are you back here alone? Your still limping." Sage said as she made her way torwards Philip.
Up front Troye walked with Jessica trailing not to far behind. "Looking forward to that shower?" He said looking over at her.
MacKenzie hated being useless to the group and thought about what the man said earlier while they were walking about how useless she was because she was so little.She looked down at the stump that was now her arm thinking back to how she couldn't fight the undead that bit her arm and almost cost her sister her life.
Rain started thinking about how she met sage justice and Phillip it was all due to the Horde of undead that came.thinking about it she remembered the gunshot that went off before then drawing the undead to her and her sister.She thought about it and maybe Sage heard it also.Rain walked over to Sage
"hey Sage you know before you heard my sister scream did you hear a gunshot."Rain asked curiously.
Gracie-Anne was left alone with her thoughts and so she took up playing with her hands in her lap. She felt like she wasn't doing very much for the group and so she stood up to see if there was any jobs that needed doing or people who needed assistance.
Jessica nodded, "I'm ecstatic about it" she smiled at Troye, "so how did you and Alex meet up?" She walked along the path with them, stepping around a crawling biter. "Hmmm do you hsve hope that Alex will find his family?" She asked quietly so Alex doesn't hear.
"really do you know which direction it came from and if you do could you tell me I kinda wanna check it out later."Rain said knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to go and see it.
Phillip looked at Sage, and smiled "somebody has to be at the back, thought I'd a great contender." Rain came over and asked Sage what seemed to be a very odd question, Phillip walked silently, he wanted to see where she was going with this. We were headed to safety and she wanted to head towards gunshots ? She must be crazy.
"Whatever you say." Sage said looking at Philip. She looked to Rain,
"I don't know. I can't help you." Sage said.
"He's an old buddy from college, I was visiting him when things started happening, and I don't think he will find his family. It's lost hope, nobody could survive this long with an infant." Troye said looking at Jessica cradling the cat in his arms.
Jessica frowned a little and pet the cat "poor thing was starving" she said akwardly trying to change the subject, "good thing you found it when you did." She smiled slightly and kept walking where they eventually made it to the cars "sooo where should we look first?" She looked at the plenty of cars
Troye pointed to a green car. "That's where me and Alex's stuff is. I figured we find a van, and we could use both vehicles. Me,and whoever decides to ride with will take the car and lead. Alex and whoever rides with him will take the back." Troye said. "Now, we just have to walk through the traffic and find a van . It shouldn't take long, it's getting it out from between the other cars that's the trick." Troye said beginning to walk through the traffic . "Oh, and watch your feet, sometimes biters come from under the cars."
