Realistic or Modern Zombie Apocalypse

[Peacemaker .45]

"That deputy of yours would want you to fight the good fight. So you push through this and keep his memory going that much longer."

Upon hearing this, Jennifer smiled, and got a little teary eyed.


"I'll do it for the deputy. I'll make sure he is remembered for longer. After what he went through, and how he died, I think I can handle this. If he could've handled the way he died, I can sure as hell do this. The pain he endured must've been a thousand times worse. That kid, or deputy, was a hell of a fighter who didn't complain. I'm going to do the same, for him. And live, for him, so that he isn't forgotten."


This whole story about her brother, and things about the past, were a nice reminder to Jennifer, and presumably, the rest of the people there that there was a life before this, one were people didn't have to fight to survive, fear the dead rising up again. Instead, that life was consumed by the things going on in your life, world news, politics, etc. It may have had its fair share of issues, but its a world Jennifer would gladly take over this one. And ever since this "new world" happened, she had almost forgotten about the people in her past life. Remembering her brother made her want to fight until her very last breath to keep his memory alive. Though she had felt earlier that there was nothing to live for, now, she didn't. She felt as if she had one thing to keep her going. It was motivation, something she hasn't had very much of. The more she had to live and fight for, the more motivation she had to stay alive for as long as she could. But even then, she still wanted more motivation, more things to have to fight for. Maybe if everyone sticks together, she can get said motivation from them, for them.


Once Austin had taken the rag and given it to her, she took it, told everyone she was ready, put in her mouth and closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was going to fight through the pain as best as she could. She was not going to complain, or try not to, at least. She was going to put "big girl pants," and get this done with. She eased herself and the shaking went away. She was calm, she was relaxed, and she was ready to get this over with.

Tori didn't bother to comment on the touchy feely stuff, She wasn't into sharing back stories and if she was blunt she was pretty bad at consoling people too so best she didn't say anything encase it came out mean. When Austin stated they needed someone to hold the lamp and to hold Jennifer's arm down she opted straight for the lamp. She had pretty steady hand's, Always had she supposed it was from all the practice of fitting tiny wires and building gadgets and such over the years. "I got this and don't worry i ain't scared of a little blood" she smirked at that "And sleepy won't be making an appearance anytime either" she teased trying to lighten the mood just a little. She took hold of the light and switched it on at the other woman got seated. She held it up over jennifer's wound so the light shined directly onto it. "Lemme know if that's ok" she stated towards Skylynn. Tori glanced over at Jennifer and gave her a reassuring smile. "It'll be fine i mean just think how sore it has been right? soo it can only get better" she shrugged a shoulder as if it was as simple as that. "And will if you pass out me and you are gonna have to fight for the title of sleepy..so try not to kay?"

[/QUOTE]
"Good, because the last thing I need is for sleepy to have an appearance during an extremely important cleaning operation."


The light humor was helping Jennifer calmed down. It was a nice reminder that in a world where people are generally shit, she can find those who do care and are willing to help. And be witty and sarcastic, of course, on the side.

[QUOTE="Lola Shimmer]"It'll be fine i mean just think how sore it has been right? soo it can only get better" she shrugged a shoulder as if it was as simple as that. "And will if you pass out me and you are gonna have to fight for the title of sleepy..so try not to kay?"

[/QUOTE]
"They say things get worse before they get better, so I expect this to be the worst, and things should get better following. And if I have to compete with you to be Sleepy, it'll be settled by whoever becomes Sleepy next."


She shot Tori a sarcastic smile.


"Now, Doc. I'm ready. On her go, whoever is available, hold my arms and legs down. I need you to keep me as still as possible so Doc here can do her work." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "I'm ready, when everyone else is," she said taking the tag and placing it in her mouth. She clenched it a few times with her jaw to make sure it was good. She then gave a thumbs up, and listened and waited.


It was odd how Jennifer was allowing these complete strangers to do this for her. For all she knows, they could mislead her and kill her. But either way, she's dead without help. So she has no choice but to trust them. They do seem trustworthy to her, first impressions-wise. Regardless, this needed to get done. And she was becoming calm. She was ready for it, and wanted it over.

Miyuki sighs as she walks around the house. 'How could so many people survive and all meet up at the same time.' She looks up at a dirty window, looking inside. 'Looks like it will be a while......come to think of it, its been a while...Holliday should be there by now..Did he leave ...or get killed?' She got so deep in thought that she lost track of where she was heading to. She then walks up to the jeep and looks down at both tiff and the little baby. She sighs as she looks up at the sky. 'She should wake up. If something were to happen, both her and the baby are sitting ducks.' She gently shook Tiffany's shoulder "um Miss Tiffany, you really should wake up....that or let me watch the kid..."


@Shimakage Thunder

 

[BloodThunder27]

Tiffany finally woke up after a long nap. As she continued to cradle Josh, she smiled at the newborn infant before looking back at Miyuki. "Yeah, I'll be fine. You should be getting some rest. You look exhausted, whether you want to admit it or not. Is Skylynn alright?" She asked, still cradling Josh and making sure he does not start crying or any of the sort, hoping that Skylynn can come back and watch her own baby soon.

 

[KathleneWilliams2121]

"She is still getting ready for taking care of the wound." She replies as she smiles softly at the sleeping child. "I'll get some sleep after I make sure everything is safe. Dont worry about me I'll be fine. Hows the kid?" She asks as she leans against the jeep. Keeping an eye out for anything odd.

Skylynn smiled slightly and nodded her head. "Alright guys. Hold her down." She said softly. She wasn't we used to doing this without the proper tools. Sure she could do it, it wasn't that hard, but she's probably be feeling terrible afterwards. She took the needle and the string and looked at the old stitching. "Does somebody have a knife? I'm going to have to cut this old stitching out in order to put the new ones in." She stated, looking at the people around her.

"I'm surprised you don't have one of your own." Austin said, pulling his hunting knife from it's tiny sheath and turning it around so that he was holding the blade and the handle was in the woman's direction. He had to admit, in the back of his mind something told him not to, that he was giving a complete stranger a weapon and that he shouldn't. But he ignored that thought, and once she'd taken the blade Austin set out the tweezers, fishing line, fishing hook, and a tiny pack of gauze before taking his position by Jennifer's legs, leaning closer he clamped hands over her knee's. This would be the best place to keep her from moving by limiting motion from her knees, but he expected it might come to him needing to climb on-top of her legs by the end of it.


@Aryn Harris @Lola Shimmer @Jennifer Shotain @Mica

 

[Aryn Harris]

Skylynn smiled slightly at his comment about her not having one and she shrugged her shoulders. "My husband was a cop. He had more guns than knifes." She said softly, memories of Arik flowing through her head before she shook it to clear her thoughts.


"Alright. This is going to hurt bad. I can lie and say that I've done this without all the proper tools before but I won't, so here goes nothing." She murmured, starting to cut away the old stitching. Once she was done she grabbed the tweezers, closing her eyes and pausing for a moment, before gently opening the wound a little bit and started taking out the little splinters and debris from the wound.


(@Jennifer Shotain @Crono @Lola Shimmer @Mica )

 

[Peacemaker .45]

Jennifer sat there with her eyes closed, listening to what was being said. She remained as calm as possible. Everyone got into place for what was needed to be done. She was held down, which limited her range of movement, which was good so that she couldn't jerk around and make things more complicated. And the rag in her mouth she bit down on hard when she felt the knife cut the stitches. She slightly jerked as she felt the stretched skin open back up, somewhat violently. This hurt, but she was able to control herself.


When she felt Doc reach into the wound and clear out the debris, that's when the pain started to amp up. She felt the knife go in, the splinters being removed. She tried to stay calm during this. She tried not to move. But after about ten seconds, she couldn't take it. She tried not to jerk, but the pain made her do so. She breathed and moaned in pain as she felt the wound being cleared out. In the midst of it, she cursed, but she was sure no one was able to tell the difference between a moan of pain and an inaudible word.


She breathed sharply as the procedure was taking place. The pain was unbearable, but things get worse before they get better, and this was the climax of worst. And if her brother could withstand the pain he did that one day, and the pain he suffered on the day he died, and not make it a big deal, she could too.


For the deputy, damn it, she thought to herself. You can fucking do this for him, damn it. Do it for him. Keep his memory alive. Come on, Jennifer, come on!





Jennifer couldn't help but move her body. It contoured in odd ways, or would have if it wasn't for everyone holding her down, and everyone doing their part. Jennifer lied there, tears of pain pouring from her eyes, mouth biting down as hard as possible on her rag, body twitching from the pain, wishing it were over. But going through it the procedure, all she thought of was her brother, and keeping his memory alive. Through her pain during this, his memory gave her the needed motivation to let this go as long as she needs to keep his memory alive.


This pain is to keep your memory going, Deputy, she thought, growing fond of calling him that.

Ian saw some zombies try and sneak up on the women clinging to the tree so he threw some acid bombs the acid hit the mob of zombies and with in a few moments or so they were melted into a pill of ooze and after that ian walked round the pile and said to the women"I'm ian are you ok miss"?

[Lekar]

A clean stab to the head. That's all it takes to end most conflicts nowadays. A bullet to the head, a knife through the brains, setting your enemy on fire. Those are just some examples on how all conflicts get ended today. There's no time to talking anymore, not if you want to live more than five minutes in this world. David probably knew this the best. He'd known this life back in the war. War was hell, but it always eventually ended. Now, it was a war every day, and it was always hell. Nothing to look forward to, no end in sight, no hope. But David didn't have to think this way, even if it was the truth. David's hope was to help as many people as he could before he said goodbye to the world. When darkness shrouded him, and his grip on life slipped away.


Where was he? He didn't know, he didn't care, it was all the same to him. Just a solid ground for him to plant his feet on. This was how everything was to him now. Only now, there's two types of ground. One that's walked on by the dead, and the other by the living. This is how it's become in reality, and in David's vision. To others, he was in a collapsed building, just waking up.


"God dammit... my head..."


He groaned, clutching his head as he sat up. He might have been sick, but it might also just be a concussion. In these days, who knows? His head felt like it was exploding, fixing itself, then exploding all over again in an endless cycle of throbbing pain. His brain was like an ant, and his good eye like a giant magnifying glass, magnifying light to fry his brain. It felt like the very gongs at the gates of Hell were ringing in his ears. He had locked the doors, not bothering to bar them closed as he was on the second door; if anyone had broken in through the door on the first floor, he would have known. He stood up and walked over to a window in the room. All the blinds in the house had been pulled down and closed so nobody could look in and see him. He didn't want to draw any unwanted attention, after all. He took his fingers and slipped them between the blinds, pulling them down. The light from outdoors seeping into his eye was like having his brain set on fire. He squinted as he looked outdoors. The streets were still flooded, but it was nothing he couldn't slip through if he had to.


"Good morning, everyone."


He whispered as he kept looking, chuckling to himself. Nobody living was out there, and he supposed that was okay. In these times, the living can be much worst than the dead. He knew that he would have to leave sometime soon. He was getting hungry, and he finished his last few scraps last night.


He picked up his small pillow that he always carried around in his bag. Under it was a loaded pistol, something that he always kept under his pillow just in case. He grabbed it, checking that the safety was on before he tucked it away into his holster. He grabbed his knife off the stand and slid that into his sheath, too. He walked over to the door slowly and silently, slowly unlocking it as he opened it lightly. He peeked through the crack, knife ready as he stepped out. The house was as empty as when he arrived. He glided down the stairs in a paced manner. He opened the front door, basking in the sunlight. He slipped away into the alley next to his building. Next stop: A nearby settlement he'd once seen in a helicopter, if it was still standing...

"She is still getting ready for taking care of the wound." She replies as she smiles softly at the sleeping child. "I'll get some sleep after I make sure everything is safe. Dont worry about me I'll be fine. Hows the kid?" She asks as she leans against the jeep. Keeping an eye out for anything odd.
@Shimakage Thunder

"Seriously, you look tired. Stop being so stubborn." In that moment, Tiffany actually sounded like a Mother. "Josh is fine. Sleeping and everything. I think I had my fill. We can switch in the next four or five hours." She continued to hold the child against her chest as he slept peacefully. She also gently rubbed her belly to ease some pain that she felt. "I wonder what he's dreaming about..."

 

[tammynorthland]

A corpse lied in the tree it was stuck on a rope...possibly they hung themselves but the corpser riled all over the place there was a lone corpser walking about but didn't draw any attention. Tammy left it there and ignored it adrenaline flowed in her body.


She pursued to the building g a few blocks away people were definitely there as she walked the corpser noticed her and huddled toward her. Tammy drew out her crowbar and slashed the curved end into the skull with perfect timing releasing brains hearing the skull crack and shattered the body fell at her feet and she started to run from the scene. She walked up toward the building. Hands shaking blood dripping from the bar.


She saw the building was boarded up no windows to peak into. She walked up and took a peak around to see any bystanders or corpsers. None...she raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Hello??"


The building had to have had people inside but her mind was ready for an attack. She just needed a place to rest.

 

[Lola Shimmer]

Tori went perfectly stoic. 'Be still as a statue' she thought to herself. She almost felt like holding her breath, She was getting to quite like Jennifer she seemed to get her sense of humor and generally a decent human being. Therefore if standing still and holding the light just right meant the Doc could work faster and cause less pain..well it was the least she could do really wasn't?. Tori watched as the old stitches were cut and grimaced slightly, It really did look rather painful props to the girl for lasting these long. She blew a stray blonde hair out of her face that had dared to escape her hasty ponytail. God what she wouldn't do to be able to wash her hair. Tori sighed at that for a second but she quickly refocused herself on the task at hand when she noticed the slight twitching of Jennifer's body under the weight that was holding her down. "I am sure it's nearly over" she reassured the woman, although she had no idea if it was.


Tori bit her lip and glanced back tot he wound to see just how far along the Doc was..but well she wasn't 100 percent sure what all needed to be done. She cast a quick glance of curiosity around the room not having actually looked around the place when they came in and she kinda wondered where the other women were that had been here when they arrived. Well this didn't really need a full audience..besides she doubted they fully trusted them just yet she was entirely sure that they trusted them back either. Tori smirked a bit to herself realizing she was referring to them all as 'us' already she had already grouped these people together in her mind and included herself in it too, Heck she didn't even know if any of em were even going to stick around. Echo sure as hell hadn't stayed for long..but then she seemed like she had some people issues..she supposed they all did but still that girl had some temper. Tori glanced back at the woman on the table and gave as reassuring a smile as she could manage seeing her tears of pain "deep breaths Jen..i mean come on if you can survive an apocalypse and grumpy's personality..you've got this hands down" she teased lightly. However she froze solid when she heard the knock on the door and her head flew up to look at the others.. "shit" she muttered. if this was a hostile they had real shitty timing. She looked over at crono "What do we do?" she hissed they couldn't exactly leave jen half patched up. She supposed she could hold her done by sitting on her and hold the light..yeah that sounded good.."you go..lets face it your gonna be more use in a fight than me. we got this" she stated

David wandered, he had to have lost his way about three times until he finally found what he was looking for: A fortified base. He was going to approach when he saw a young girl standing at the door, knocking and waiting. He wasn't scared of her, but he didn't want to confront her. She looked like she was ready to attack at any given moment; David knows what that looks like from war. Only this is that this girl did a bad job of trying to hide it. Her footing was off, like she was getting ready to swing a knife. She kept glancing over her shoulder, looking around, as if she wanted to find the nearest enemy to attack. David didn't want to startle her. He approached her, taking out his knife and setting it on the ground at his feet in a sign of peace.


"Hey,"


He said calmly to her, he didn't want to scream it and alert any nearby dead, but he didn't want to say it too low and jump her. He put his hands at his sides, palms out to show that he's not bearing another weapon in his hands, hidden.


"Name's David, I'm looking for a place to stay if you have one."


He looked her dead in the eye, trying to keep contact with her.


"I understand if you don't trust me, but I have military experience and I mean you no harm. If you don't wish to have me, I'll be on my way."

Austin held on as best he could to Jennifer's legs when she started moving, he couldn't fully see how the extraction was going but he could see enough. The man grunted occasionally in a little frustration when one of Jennifer's legs decided to get loose, taking a boot to the side of the head one more than one occasion. The knock at the door came as a surprise, the surgeon's friends would just barge in wouldn't they? Wasn't one of them supposed to be on watch? How exactly did someone get by her to the mill?


Another reason I go it alone, can't trust anyone these days. Tori wanted him to and check on it, but he'd already planned to though letting Jennifer's legs free wouldn't be too fun. Releasing them he took a step back and pulled the pistol out of the back of his pants, "If this goes south you'd all better run." He told them in a hushed tone, before creeping up to the door. Leaving Jennifer on the table and escaping would be difficult for them but if it meant their lives then maybe they'd heed his advice. The man rested his hand on the door, took a deep breath, then jerked it open shoving the gun into the face of the closest body which happened to be the young blonde woman. A gruff looking man standing not too far behind her, the man wasn't immediately armed and the girl a bloody crowbar. "I suggest neither of you make any sudden movements." He told them calmly but aggressive, with narrowed suspicious eyes that bounced from one to the other. "What the hell do you want?"

Aaron saw the gun and didn't flinch, he had every right to point that thing around at strangers in a place that was still actually standing. It was his land, David just wanted to visit, hopefully find himself a place to stay. He slowly put up his hand, removing his gun from the holster with his thumb and index finger, gently placing it on the ground slowly before getting back up. He raised his hands to head-level.


"I am Captain David Jensen with the 12th Zombie Reaction Squad. I am possibly considered KIA as my helicopter was shot down a couple days ago by some rogue civilians with stolen military weaponry; I've had no way to contact my base of operations since. My whole squad died, I barely got away."


He slowly moves his hand, pointing at his dusty eye-patch.


"Not without a cost, of course."


David returned his hands, keeping them steady. David wasn't scared of this person, but he had some mighty fine respect for them since they weren't a total pushover willing to let any stranger in without questioning. He stared him down with soft eyes, David knew how to make himself look both threatening and non-threatening.


"I can provide you with extra defense, more manpower, and what supplies I have. If you'll accept me in, that is."


David spoke in a slow, paced tone so he doesn't look nervous or anxious to get in. He could definitely tell that his Massachusetts accent was apparent, but he didn't care. It was better to be truthful with someone, in both fact and tongue, than try to hide anything.


"I have extensive military-grade training in close-quarter combat, medication and healing on the field, and firearms. I mean you no harm. If you don't wish to accept me, I'll take my leave. It's up to you."

[Aryn Harris]

Skylynn immediately stopped what she was doing as soon as Austin let go of Jennifer's legs. She needed to do this quickly, but she was going to injure her even more if she kept squirming around while she was trying to work.


"Jennifer. I know this hurts. Believe me k do. But I need you to hold still for just a moment longer. There's only a few more splinters that I have to get." Skylynn said kindly, her new motherly instincts kicking in. "I really don't want to injure you more than you already are." She added, not paying attention to who was at the door. "I just need you to lay still did just a few seconds. Then I'll stitch you up. Then I can get back to my son."


She took a deep calming breath and gently re opened the wound and began to clear out the last few splinters. When she was done she quickly grabbed the fishing hook and string and tied the string around the hook after straightening it out.


She took another calling breath, looking apologetically at Jennifer before digging the hook into her skin, beginning to stitch the wound.


Not even 5 minutes later she was finished and she slowly backed her chair away from the table. "Okay. You're good. I don't think that you should have any strenuous activity for the next few days though. Your stitches could tear and I'd rather that not happen." Sky smiled and shrugged her shoulders.


"I'm Skylynn by the way. The pregnant one is Tiffany, the other woman is Miyuki, and the baby, my baby, is Josh. And this might not have been the best first impression on any of our parts, but it's a pleasure to meet you." She said kindly, giving a warm smile, something she only seemed to do when Josh was concerned.

The procedure seemed to be going well, albeit the pain that Jennifer had no choice but endure to overcome this injury. She felt reassured by the people around her. Tori seemed to have her head on straight, and care about people. Aidan was the same. Austin was the interesting one that Jennifer was enjoying trying to figure out. He showed more good in him than she thought he'd like to admit. Doc seemed like a good, down to earth human. She was fixing her, a total stranger, up, after all. All and all, the people she had been with for these past couple of hours seemed to be good people. She was enjoying the time with them, even during this painful part. She missed people. After things went to shit, and her parents were killed in the terrible way they were, and what she had to go through, the sight of people was unnerving. But when it came to people like the ones she were with, they brought her faith in the surviving humanity up. Good people really weren't dead, after all. That much she knows now. And she hopes to be around them longer than a couple of hours.

Tori had been fixing to sit on top of the girl the second Austin had let her go but it all happened so fast she didn't get much of a chance too. It was like it all happened in a blink and she would give this surgeon her dues cause she was good. It seemed like a mere moment before the wound was cleaned out and stitched up and she was glad cause it looked like it was getting real tough for jen to stay even remotely still during this and she had been doing real well so far. She was a bit wary of leaving Austin by the door to long by himself too, She knew he could handle himself but still better to not have too. Tori reached down to help jennifer sit up when she started to move. "you need to stay as still as you can" she warned and glanced over at the Doc. "Hey thanks very much, i mean we kinda rolled up on you guys out of surprise so we appreciate it" Tori stated firmly and she meant it to. She wouldn't have said thanks otherwise. She smiled when skylynn introduced herself and told them what the others were called. "I am tori..now i think you oughta stay back..i mean you having a baby and all we will take care of this one"


Tori took a deep breath and looked around for where she had set her shotgun down at and quickly retrieved it. Hopefully she wouldn't have to use it but and that the mere presence of it would be enough for whoever was out there. She nodded to jen when she started to set herself up with her gun and she frowned she really shouldn't even be moving at all but what could she say they could be in a tight spot here for all they knew. Tori walked out towards the door until Austin and the two newcomers came into her sights. She lifted the gun and held it up the way she had seen some of the others doing and pointed it in the general direction of the newcomers "Is everything ok out here? Jennifer is all god now.." she murmured toward Austin just to let him know if they had to make a quick exit they could. She focused her vision back onto the man and woman on the doorstep.

At the moment Skylynn mentioned her husband being a cop, Aidan's eye's shot up to her but she quickly turned her head away again. Her stepfather having been a cop himself, there was a chance she could recognize Skylynn from past gatherings. While there was a chance she would recognize her, Aidan was pretty sure she spent most of her stepfather's get-togethers and parties hiding away from social contact. Regardless, she didn't want to get attached to the woman if she didn't know as to whether or not they were sticking around and she definitely didn't like the idea of having a presence constantly reminding her of how things were. She had her hat for that.


Aidan made sure to keep a solid grasp of the arm she was in charge of. She wanted to peer at what Skylynn had been doing but due to the fact that Jennifer was squirming a fair amount, she didn't want to risk it. Instead she took peeks at Skylynns expression, which did in fact look rather tired, as the lady holding the child had mentioned. Not they could really help it at the moment but maybe this wasn't the best idea at the moment. At least it seemed that Skylynn seemed to know what she was doing. Aidan looked back to Jennifer and made the brilliant observation that this operation did in fact hurt. It had been a while since she felt pity for someone else. This was mainly due to the fact that the walkers seem to bring everyone to the same level. Everyone has lost people in terrible ways and thus she felt that everyone knew each other's pain to some degree. The pain everyone had was understandable but as long as it didn't hinder the survival of a person or group, Aidan didn't feel like doing much more than recognizing the pain was there. The fact that Jennifer was in clear intense physical pain left Aidan unsure of what to say and definitely feeling sorry for her. To be honest she could feel sorry for Jennifer for a number of reasons but she couldn't help but try rooting for her. It seemed she was getting close to the people in the initial group, or at least forming emotional bonds with some of them slowly.


At the sound of people at the doorway, Aidan's neck snapped up but she kept the last arm secure. To be honest with only one arm held down, this was mostly a formality. If there was a fight there would be little she could do unless she got close since her shotgun was rather low on ammo. She also wasn't too keen on the idea of running away, though she understood this would probably be better considering her situation. She was vaguely aware of introductions occurring around her but she was occupied trying to listen to what was happening outside.


Skylynn finally seemed to finish the procedure to which Aidan quickly let go and grabbed her gun. It didn't have much so this might end up being more of a bluff than anything but anything should help. She could hardly hear the group outside but she thought she caught that someone was part of the military.


She couldn't help but wince at Jennifer moving. Not that she didn't have faith in Jennifer, she had in fact been tolerating the wound for quite a while, but she couldn't imagine either of them helping Austin outside too much. She kept up with the group though, not wanting to be left behind with the ladies she didn't know as well, along with wanting to see who these people outside were.


There was a girl who didn't seem too concerning and a man who definitely seemed to have gone through a fair amount, having lost an eye or damaged it somehow. While he acted friendly enough, Aidan couldn't help but be wary. She noted his pistol and sniper rifle. If he really wanted to hurt them, he probably could have done so from a distance. Regardless, she kept her shotgun at the ready.


She kept near Jennifer, feeling the most comfortable with her, "Does it hurt much?" she whispered, referring to her new stitches. Part of her wanted to tell Jennifer that this was a bad idea but new allies were still fairly valuable.

Miyuki smiles sadly as she remembers her own mother and how much she missed her family, 'Don't feel sorry for yourself,' she thought, 'everyone lost someone they cared and loved. You're not the first or the last.' Instead she laughs a little, "Hey I'm 17, Tiff, you don't have to worry about me." Miyuki looks over at the windmill and sees 2 new people at the door of the windmill and a gun pulled out on them. "This is what I get for leaving. Tiff, you and Josh stay here, I will go check things out." She leaves the jeep as she pulls her bow and one of her arrows. She goes around to the back of the house and starts to climb her way up to the top of the house. 'If things go wrong, at least I can jump down and hold them off until they get out.' She places an arrow on her bow string and waits for what was to happen next. 'Hope they know how to fight real people and not just zombies."

There was a voice behind tammy. a quiet 'hey'....


Tammy swung around unclipping the nine millimeter pistol and pointed it. He had his hands on his side. An Older guy with a patch on his eye 'was it damaged?' Tammy thought. Her first instinct was to kill him dead but she's a bluff with the pistol to start she barely could use it. For now it's a threat but he appeared the opposite. He had military style gear on and a large firearm on his back attached by a holster as well as a knife he laid on the ground.


'Not an immediate threat' she thought. But there's no telling who or what he wants. He asked for a place to rest.


"What the fuck are you followi-" tammy stopped dead silent the door behind her opened her first though was to turn aim of the gun to the opening door and be ready to fire whoever or whatever lies inside. A girl greeted her. There was painful cries and moans released through the door.. 'what the fuck is going on...'


Tammy remembered her friend she used to work out with always making bets about working out. She always told stories about the Chinese fighting the mongols to protect there city long ago. How a warrior took on 100 men he approached the battle surrounded-like she is now- he would take a deep breath smile and say " I appear to be clearly surrounded, but you are all clearly outmatched."


Tammy knew here this wasn't the case she was surrounded by a military full grown male armed to the brim and at least 5 people with no idea who was armed and who wasnt. She held up her bar to the door and held steady with the pistol facing the man strategic planning is needed here. If she held the firearm to the man she'd appear less of a threat to the group.


She caught glimpse of a child...a child?!? And a pregnant woman!! "Tammy. I'm tammy northland." Her veins pumped with adrenaline ready to kill or be killed but even a lion knows when to back down and she wouldn't win this.. "I'm not bitten! And I don't know who he is! He just came up like I did." I spoke slow and clear

Although Tiffany was okay with Miyuki shouldering all of the weight, she was a little saddened that Miyuki was not really accepting her mothering nature. Not that Tiffany was trying to do that. She only cared for the teen's well-being and health, in the short amount of time they got to know each other. Not willing to let Miyuki go off by herself again, she held Josh close and closed the Jeep's Door in order to follow her. Before going on with it, she grabbed a blanket to wrap Josh in so that her hand were more free. Tiffany was the older one, so she wasn't going to let Miyuki do something reckless. She then quickly followed the young girl with the bow, even drawing her gun and disabling the safety should things get crazy. Hopefully, she'd be able to protect Josh, since he is her responsibility until Skylynn was done with her little surgery. By the time she caught up with Miyuki, she kept her firearm pointed at the ground, continuing to cradle Josh closely, who started whimpering. She holstered her gun to calm him down. "Shhhhh, its okay. Mommy's almost done. She'll be back soon..." She cooed at the baby before looking over Miyuki's shoulder, to see two other people.
