Realistic or Modern The Dead among us

[travelbypages]

Jessica went inside the house and slipped past Troye, "we should all sleep in the living room, in case if we need a quick escape and we have to stick together" she suggested and walked to the living room there was a quilt on the old couch and she picked it up, fluffed it out. It was reletively clean and it was warm so she wrapped herself in it and sat on the floor. The couch was ripped and the springs were popping out, so the floor was a better option


Emi shook her head "I don't wanna have to take care of MacKenzie on my own if we get split up. We shoukd stay together..." Emi frowned

Troye sat his shotgun down on the floor, and took a seat beside it. He let his cat crawl out of his bag slowly as he laid back on back. The cat crawled us to Troye's chest and laid there. Troye let his hands run through the cats rough fur as he tried to look back on what has happened so far. As he listened to the cats steady purr, he began to worry. "I don't like being separated from Alex long, it just doesn't feel right." Troye said quietly. "I'm not to good at doing things alone.." he let his mind wander as he spoke aloud. "I don't like all the kids being separated like this either, and the thing is, we can't stay in one place too long, or we'll die. We may never see any of the kids or Alex again." Troye said fastly, he was honestly worried for others.


"I guess your right. I prefer us all to be upstairs though." Alex said checking over the downstairs one more time. " we should probably divide supplies too. Just in case something happens." He looked at Emi thoughtfully. "Remember i said "if," he said as he started up the stairs.

Jessica was laying on the floor listening to Troye talk, he seemed cold hearted and distant from everyone. But when it came to the cat he was... sweet. She looked over to see rain already sleeping so she scooted over to Troye "do you really think we'll find them?" She asked quietly, pulling the blanket up to her chin and looking at Troye


Emi nodded "well, I have enough trail mix and Jerky for myself. But I ran out of water.." she said quietly and shrugged, "but water is easy to find..."

Phillip walked out from behind a tree, he was smirking at Charlie and pointed at him "gotcha," he giggled.


Sage was right, it was probably best to get a move on as early as possible, but where were they ? Where were they headed ? Where were the others ? These were all valid questions, but he didnt bother asking because he knew no one had the answers. "Alright, which way ?" He asked Sage.

 

[Catharsis]

" I don't know. All i'm saying is chances are very slim." Troye said turning to his side facing Jessica. His cat wondered around the house slowly. "Shes better now," Troye said watching the fragile cat look into each corner curiously.


"Here." Alex said tossing Emi some water. "How are you on weapons?" he said jumping on a stripped bed and laying back.


"I have no idea, but i do know that we should find a house, and do a supply raid. Maybe we could rest there for the night also. Night isn't that far since SOMEBODY slept in so long." she said raising an eyebrow at Charlie. "We could try that way." Sage said pointing torwards North. There seemed to be some sort of a pathway.

 

[travelbypages]

Jessica watched the cat wander, a smile touched her lips "yea, she looks a lot better" she looked back up st Troye "I bet we'll all find each other some day... I mean, we can't be that far from them" she persed her lips thinking about Emi and her smile went away.


Emi took the water, "I have a knife. Jessica didn't want me to have a gun, because once when I was twelve my dad took me hunting and I accidentally shot him in the ass" she giggled at the memory.

"Good idea, let's try and find that house as soon as possible, it's freezing out here," the group walked down the path. Oh, were they ever the most tempting group to ambush, 2 wounded teenaged boy and a tiny girl to accompany them. Hopefully that wasn't the case.. Phillip had enough of bandits, and the wound would sure remind him if he ever forgot. The path seemed to go on forever, he really didn't want to be caught on it when night fell, "let's hurry up guys." He told Sage and Charlie, quickening his pace.

 

[Catharsis]

"Yeah your right, we can't be that far." Troye winked at Jessica, "Luckily, im lost with a beautiful girl,and sure as hell know how to make a good time out of it."


Alex laughed at Emi, "I never caught your name." he said changing the subject.


Sage walked faster, she brought out her knife, she held it tightly. "I hope theres some houses up ahead close." she said looking around. It wasn't really getting dark yet, but it would be wise to settle in somewhere before it did.

 

[travelbypages]

A small blush rose on Jessicas cheeks and she smiled again "so how would you make a fun time out of it" she teased and propped herself up on her elbows.


Emi smiled, "oh uhm, I'm Emilee, but you've probably heard Jessica call me Emi... and that Troye guy, he calls you Alex... so that must be your name"

 

[Catharsis]

Troye smiled at Jessica. "Secrecy is the best policy. You'll know when you know." Troye said laughing a bit as he talked.


"Well nice to meet you Emi, sorry about the circumstances, but always a pleasure." Alex smiled at Emi. She was a sweet girl.

 

[Gitmuny]

Phillip volunteered to scout the path ahead for some houses, "I'll be right back," he ran until he came across a certainly noticeable estate. Seperating it from the path were two big metal gates, this seemed like a fairly nice place to crash. He looked down the path to where Charlie and Sage were walking and waved at them in excitement, they weren't going to be sleeping outside tonight, maybe there were supplies too.


((Sorry if you didnt want people joining up yet, just seemed like it opened up more dialogue))

 

[Catharsis]

Sage ran ahead to Philip. "Looks good." she said smiling. She opened the heavy gate slowly, then began to the front door.


Troye stood immediatly at hearing the large gate open. "What the hell?" get down." he said grabbing his shotgun. He peeked out the large windows. "Sage?" he said cluelessly. "Sage!!!" he yelled as he opened the front door. "Where's Alex??" he said excitedly

 

[travelbypages]

Jessica smiled but was inturrupted by a yawn. She would need more explaining the next day. She was too exhausted "okay, so if I have to find out later, will a kiss on the cheek speed up the process? " She winked, kissed his cheek, layed down and closed her eyes to sleep. But was quickly woken up by Troye jumping up and heard him say Sages name. She quickly got up and went over to sage "ohmigod" she hugged the girl and smiled and as much as Sage annoyed Jessica she was worried about her, and Phillip and Charlie. She smiled at the three


Emi shrugged "best and worst ways to meet a person nowadays" she said quietly and sat on a sofa then layed down to sleep

(Im a bit late again xD lemme edit.))

 

[Gitmuny]

Sage went on ahead to the front door, Phillip and Charkie followed, shutting it on their way in. Surprisingly, Troye was inside, with whoever else. It was unrealistic for everyone to be there but each one that was, was a sign of hope. He ran up to the steps, next to Sage. He shook Troye's free hand "who else you got with you?" He asked, with a huge smile on his face.


 
((Shit didnt realize danny posted because im on my phone.. Let's just pretend i included Jessica in that last post ))

 

[Catharsis]

Sage was greeted by hugs, and questions. "We don't have Alex sorry." she couldn't contain her excitment in seeing Troye and Jessica, but then Rain came around the corner. She ran to Rain hugging her tightly.


Troye was disappointed in Sage's answer, but now he had new hopes. "Just me, Jessica, and Rain" He waved at Charlie who stood off to the side. "Come in guys." he said stepping aside, and allowing the others in.

 

[travelbypages]

Jessica frowned at Troye, she could see the disappointment so she mouthed "we'll find them" she went snd searched for blankets on the second floor, found some and brought them down, hsnding one to everybody "here" she smiled and went back to the spot she had been with Troye, as much as the kids excited her, she was exhausted

 

[Gitmuny]

Phillip walked inside, waved to Rain and looked around. It was a nice place. "So I'm guessing you got no clue where the others are then huh?" He asked, he set his supplies down on the floor. "I'm gonna give myself a tour." He told the others. He began to walk around the decently sized building, admiring its rooms and how much it would beat sleeping next to a log, although, he'd definitely have a harder time finding excuses for cuddling up to Sage now. Maybe he could just pretend to be cold again, not that she didn't like it, he just thought the others wouldn't.

 

[Catharsis]

Sage followed closely behind Philip, since it was only the two upstairs she spoke freely. "Looks like we won't be cuddling for a while." she said giggling.


"Go on to sleep Jessica." Troye said looking at Jessica. "Ill babysit." he added smiling.

 

[travelbypages]

A small sleepy smile touched Jessicas lips and she closed her eyes, "thank you..." she mumbled and fell asleep instantly she was tired, and she just couldn't keeo her eyes open. She curled up in the blanket more as she was still cold.

 

[DreamCatcher99]

Rain looked down sad that MacKenzie wasn't with sage Phillips and Charlie but was excited to see some more of the group.She couldnt sleep though and hasn't in a little bit.


(so sorry guys I had no notifications I just feel so that this is ok)

((Taco your profile photo makes me wanna cry :'( ))

I still cant believe that it happened in in denile:'(

 

[Catharsis]

Troye looked around. Philip and Sage were already up to their usual habits of sneaking off, Jessica was laying on the floor trying to sleep and Rain and Charlie were chatting. Troye laid on the floor next to Jessica, laying a blanket over themselves. Jessica looked at him strangely, Troye smiled "To preserve body heat."

 

[Gitmuny]

Phillip gave a half frown and said "yeah, dont remind me," to Sage. They looked around in each if the rooms, making sure Troye hadn't missed anything while searching. "Jessica seems a little...different, without Emi with her. Hope she's okay." Their dysfunctional group had survived what seemed to be impossible odds, and being seperated from the other half was proving to be more destructive on them all more than anything else they've faced. Phillip kept telling himself they were okay, he couldn't let fear get to him.
