Realistic or Modern The Dead among us

[TwistedDreams]

Charlie walked slowly down the long highway which was surrounded by forest on both sides. His figure was slumped due to how tired he was but he tried to stay as aware of his surroundings as he could. He didnt have much with him besides a mountain backpack he had grabbed off one of the dead, a machete, a glock 44 and an assault rifle with only 6 shots left. His backpack had only around 2 days worth of food left and no water. Even the thought of water made his lips go a little drier.

So far...


While trying to escape the church, Sage let out a gunshot, leading zombies in their direction, they are trapped in the church when Philip (yay) comes to the rescue. Philip hurts his heel which causes justice to have to save philip. Having no other choice, sage shoots her gun some more. It wasn't long after they had met Philip that a scream was heard , Philip Justice and sage ran to the scream. When they arrived they fought off a herd of zombies and met Rain, and her little sister Mckenzie. Sage, who realized Mckenzie was bitten, began to amputate Mckenzies arm. Later Justice and her switch places, Justice receives supplies from Philip and rain. Sage assists justice, until Jessica and emi arrive to the scene. Philip, and Jessica originally take watch, but Justice after finding out Jessica was a nurse asks for assistance. Emi then takes the knife but is ordered to kill anyone the moment trouble arises.


Elsewhere.. Motorcycle guy, Matt mugs another guy, and Elizabeth's car breaks down where she hides to prevent Matt from seeing her, and Charlie is added into the story and is currently walkin down a highway surrounded by woods...

Philip was becoming anxious, his mental health was beyond question at the moment, and his physical health was obviously at an all-time low. Most of the group was focusing on helping the little girl, were they insane? Here he was, standing in the open with a group of people that he was supposed to protect pretty much all by himself (Emi didn't look very trustworthy, or qualifying for the job) while they all stood and watched a botched attempt at an amputation. If something came at them, he wouldn't being able to ward it off, "Guys, give the girl some space... you're scaring her," and me. Not only did he not want to be attacked for the umpteenth time today, but he didn't want a little girl dying right in front of him. It wasn't fair that someone like him escaped death so many times, while someone as innocent and helpless as her, dies.


He shook off all the depressing thoughts, and kept his eyes on the wall of trees, and leaves. Any sort of movement would raise an alarm in his mind, but he didn't know how much longer he could even stand upright, exhaustion was kicking in.

Rain backed off of her sister knowing that it was just makeing her sister upset that she was crying.she walked over to the man taking guard


"I want to help you. I cant stand seeing my sister like that I need to do something else to get my mind off of it."


Rain grabs her axe and stands by this man that she didn't know what his name was.


"what's your name anyways."

 

[Gitmuny]

"Philip." He said sharply, "uhh, sorry, I didn't realize how that came across, my names Philip, you?" His eyes began flickering open and closed. His footing became very loose and unstable. He sat down and leaned against the torso-sized rock embedded in the ground near him. He needed the rest, hopefully this girl was a good fighter just in case, he was in no condition to fight. "Sage ? Can you hand me my bag please ? I need to eat, I think I have a protein bar inside. " His grip on the knife was virtually non existent, it kind of just hung there in his fingertips. He became to pray for safety from God, if there even was one.

 

[Catharsis]

Sage, slipped away from the small girl. She walked over and grabbing philips bag before handing it over to him. She sat next to him on the ground, there were plenty people helping the little girl now, and she had seen enough. She wanted to change the subject for now, 'How old are you Philip?' she asked as an attempt at conversation

 

[DreamCatcher99]

"My name is Rain and you should eat that protein bar then sleep or you will die if the undead come."She looks down at Phillip then at the girl he called Sage. She noticed that she was the girl that had first started amputating her little sisters arm."and that little girl over there is MacKenzie. She's my little sister and if she died im not sure how I could take it.Thanks for helping us Phillip."

 

[Gitmuny]

"Trust me, you don't wanna sleep here Rain. I tried it last night, didn't work out too well." He picked through the bag, and discovered the half-eaten protein bar and slowly chewed on it. "Thanks, I'm 17." He said to Sage. "You?" He didn't realize that chewing food and talking may have been rude to them, but manners were not a concern for him, especially at this moment. He swallowed, and felt the food rush to his stomach, it felt good. He needed more, conserving the bar was probably the best thing to do in the long run, but he only realized that after scarfing it down.

 

[DreamCatcher99]

Rain sits down next to Sage and Phillip wanting to be involved in the conversation as well but she keeps looking into the woods expecting something to come.

 

[Catharsis]

'Oh im 15. " You still hungry? We have a few supplies, not much, but enough to last a bit. Plus there's a highway south of here theres a gas station on it too." She said remembering what she'd seen on her way down here.

Jessica knealed beside the girl and looked around "There... there is a girl laying on this ground dying. Can someone please start a fire, and keep the dead away from here?" She stood up and got some sticks and put them on the ground, she surrounded them with rocks and sat back down beside the girl. "Now, the sticks are gathered. Please make the fire." She sighed and looked at the wound. "Emi give me your knife please."


Emi heard her sister talking to and quickly went over, "uhm.... here" she said quietly, handing her sister her knife. She backed up and leaned against a tree. Emi looked around and noticed a boy eating a protein bar. The thought of it made her hungry, but she crossed her arms and looked down trying to ignore the rumbling in her stomach.


When Jessica got the knife she waited for someone to start the fire

 

[DreamCatcher99]

"I'm 15 also. Yeah id say that maybe we should go check it out and bring some food back but do you think anyone would watch everyone else."Rain says to sage and Phillip.She hasn't had a conversation with someone else other than her sister in a while and it feels good to talk to another liveing being.

 

[Gitmuny]

"No, I'm fine," He looked at her and smiled "you keep it, thanks. " The thought of having an actual conversation, enjoying something to eat, and being off his feet pleased Philip a lot. He heard the nurse girl call for someone to keep a fire going. They're still going at the girl's arm ? Maybe his thoughts were selfish, maybe he just wanted her to recover. He was unsure.

Charlie stopped dead in his tracks (not literally). He had just seen a blur almost as if something moving fast on the edge of his road. He put a hand on his glock that was in a make-do holster. Then BANG before he could react a figure had leaped out from the road and he felt what could only be a bullet pierce his right thigh.


"ARGH" he let out a loud cry before quickly pulling out his Glock and firing 4 shots at what he could now see was a man, who looked like the classic bandit, dirty and with a rifle in his hands. The bandit was hit and fell instantly to the ground, dead.


Charlie grunted as he fell over, he felt extreme pain on his shoulder, which he saw was a bullet wound. He had been shot not once but twice by the bandit. He could see the ground quickly grow red around him and no doubt the noise would attract the dead or even worse, the living.


 
((trying to join the main group))

 

[Catharsis]

"Shouldn't we be getting out of these woods?' Sage asked looking around. "Me , and my brother barricaded a church last night, its pretty warm in there, and we have supplies. Based on the condition of some of our group members we should get out of the open. We can build a fire inside."

 

[Gitmuny]

"As much as I don't want to head back to that church, I agree with Sage. It's shelter, and that's what we need most right now, especially with most of us not in a condition to fight." He attempted to stand up, but his ankle just kept giving way, maybe he shouldn't have sat down, getting up seemed impossible. He grunted in agony. "Ah, fuck, I really don't know what I did to my ankle but it's getting worse by the minute. We gotta get moving now, please." He said to the group.

 

[DreamCatcher99]

"that makes since and we could all talk. But who will carry my sister."Rain says to sage.thinking that she would carry her if she has to because she's done it so many times before .

 

[TwistedDreams]

((just saying, Charlie isnt far from the group.. and the gunshots were very loud))

 

[Gitmuny]

(( move towards highway after staying at the church for a night, that way we can tie loose ends and meet up with other characters ? ))

 

[Catharsis]

((just saying, Charlie isnt far from the group.. and the gunshots were very loud))

pretend to see the church on the side of the highway, crawl there for shelter and we can meet up


 

(( move towards highway after staying at the church for a night, that way we can tie loose ends and meet up with other characters ? ))

The church could be off of the highway and he goes there for shelter and we meet him that way

 

[TwistedDreams]

pretend to see the church on the side of the highway, crawl there for shelter and we can meet up

i guess, but still gunshots are pretty loud, im fine with either, if no one hears them (somehow?) and doesnt find Charlie in a few posts then ill move him there

 

[travelbypages]

((I can make Emi go check it out... She's not doing anything. And I have a post typed up.))

 

[Catharsis]

(Sounds good)

 

[travelbypages]

Emi heard a gun shot and looked st Jessica, "give me your gun, I'll be right back." She hugged her sister, took the gun and followed the sound of the gunshot. It led her to a highway and she saw someone laying on the ground. She jogged ovee holding the gun, "are you o-okay?" She asked shyly not dropping the gun incase he was a bandit. She looked at the bullet wounds and went a little pale. "M-my sisters a nurse. She's helping a little girl right now... so maybw if you came with me she'd help you in a little bit...?" She suggested and questioned. She couldn't trust the boy yet, but he looked badly hurt.

 

[DreamCatcher99]

"so shall we."Rain stands up and reaches her hand down to help up Phillip."do you need any help up."
