Am I the Last Person Alive?

39.jpg

Alex couldn't have been asleep but five minuted before the echoing sounds of gunshots rang out. His eyes shot open as he scrambled to his feet and ran to one of the boarded up windows. His slender digits resting against one of the boards as he pushed his cheek against the rough wood. His eyes scanning outside for a horde...
He turned and looked to Hope, and then to Yuki.

" the roof!" He had barely spit the words out before he was making a dash for thebroken door leading into a hallway.His eyes immediately locked on a large metal door. -that has to be it!- he had made up his mind immediately, and regretted it just as quickly when he found himself staring down the alley. A girls body lay next to a dog, both covered in blood, the girls eyes lay open. The more pressing matter was the large horde that was presently devouring the two cadavers. Luckily this held their attention as he quickly backpedaled his way behind the large metal door.

"F#%& Me..."

Lyave


He nodded when they agreed to stick by her, and just that the door finally burst opened. He ran a couple of seconds after hoping over to the next roof, as he did so he seen her fall. Even though he tried to catch her hand when he landed, and she slipped, but he was just wasn't fast enough to get her as he hopped. Lyave turned his body and lend over when heard the hard thump from below and watched her he was getting ready to speak to her and reassure her but it was too late. He could see it in her eyes that she was goner when the horde began to get to her. One…two. She ended it just like that as it was he didn't want to see it so he closed his eyes and moved away from the edge for he too won't end up like her.

He curse under his breath as he fall back on his bottom, and began to tap his head with his fist. He wasn't really was a people person before and wanted to be loner but at age like this he needed people even if he didn't like it. Finally when he does find people, dead, him and sister stayed strong, only him and her for long time surviving this hell though sadly one day she has fallen as well which broke him from the inside making him become negative by the minute. He stood by himself since then until he met them knowing his sister would want to him at least stick by someone until it's all over, keeping him sane. He did just that. Now another is fallen. Looking over to the male across him not knowing if he should stick by him now, will he survive along with him even though the girl just died?

Lyave toke a breathe, stood up, and walked from the edge until he appeared to the middle of the roof his arms crossed as he waited for the other. He shook the feeling of death, and made himself continued on.
 


Celia Roman

The little english 10 year old girl sat completely still, watching a girl being eaten by the monsters. She squeezed her bunny tight, backing up into the corner of a dumpster can. She just a girl fall from the roof, on top of that a dog following her and then bam, she killed herself and her dog. Celia's eyes became wet as she silently cried. Her onii-chan told her to stay quiet and hide, the monsters couldn't see but they could hear her so she had to be quiet. She missed her onii-chan, she wanted him back and she wanted to go home back to her grandparents. She didn't even want to see her parents here in America. No wonder why they never visited this place, this is what happens. She just wanted to go back to England and wished everything would go back to normal. Celia wiped her tears and looked up at the roof. She saw a glimpse of someone who must have been with that girl. Her eyes brightened up but she didn't dare yell at him for there were too many near. She waited for the monsters to clear out before crouching over to the body that fell.
Seeing that the girl had a backpack, she took it and rummaged through it. There was some food and water in here, along with a book and pencil. She opened the book and read it. There were a lot of dates going back to the first year this all started and then last night. She would keep it and show people about this Elessa Strider girl or maybe just give it to that boy she saw. She took the backpack and was about to get up before staring at that gun. She never used a gun before and didn't want to now. She never killed a monster and never wanted to, her onii-chan used to do that for her.. until he died a month ago while saving her. She started tearing up, and grabbed that gun along with the other big gun attached to the girls back. She put the small gun in the bag and carried the big gun, these things were heavy but the could do it. She wanted to get to that boy she saw. Celia closed the girls eyes, and the dogs before getting out two flowers. She placed the flower on the doog and then between the girls hands. Getting the book out she decided to place it on the girls stomach, or what was left of it anyway. She knew the girl wouldn't be one of those monsters, so she wasn't as scared.
Celia walked out into the open, following the boy that was on the roof. He would have to come down sometime she thought and walked by the monsters as quietly as possible. She noticed another boy up there with him, she didn't see him before so was he with that girl and the boy too? Celia needed to get the boys attention. She searched for a rock or something near her that would make too much noise. She crawled by all the monsters feet and picked up a small rock. Crawling to where she could throw it at the boy, she set the bag down and the weapon, and chucked it at the boy with all her might. Her eyes lit up when it hit his foot. She stood there waiting if he would notice her or not, hoping he would. She held her bunny close and looked at him with googly discolored eyes..

Hope immediately hopped up and began rifling through the store for anything else that may prove useful later on, stuffing a few hunks of wood into her bag before taking off after Alex. She paused for a moment and glanced back at Yuki, not ready to walk off until she was absolutely sure she would be safe. "Rise and shine, Yuki! We've got guests!"

Lyave

He began to tap his right foot for a while until he felt something hit his shoe at first he left it be until he seen something golden. His brow rose knowing that so far he hadn't seen a single undead hair that color, so when he went closer look he seen a girl down there her eyes were multicolored. Weird. Soon she disappeared into the bins and he looked over to the undead that still mangled the body before they finally decided to leave what was left of it. Lyave looked back down at the girl once more seeing if she was still there, good she was, she looked pretty young. What was she doing out here by…..never mind. He shook the thought away remembering that this isn't the same anymore.


To see the girl wasn't at the same spot as before he began looking for her, but it didn't take long since she was now near the other girl's body. It was sad to see that girl witness this though he wondered how long she was right there, since the beginning of the site or what? Lyave watched her rummage through the stuff that was left of the girl at first she was going to speak to her but decided not knowing it might startle the girl and bring the horde back once more. And he didn't want either of those things. He looked around a bit seeing where he could drop from then once he did he looked at the male before jumping down quietly next to the girl.


His eyes looked up and down of her, yep she was pretty young. "You shouldn't be out here.." He finally said to her.
 



Celia Roman


Celia looked up at the boy, shrugging. She didn't know what to say or do really now that she got his attention. She took off the bag and gave him the big gun first, then the small gun. She squeezed her bunny and stared at him, slowly swaying to and fro. She noticed when he talked it was the same just as her. "Are you from England?" The small girl finally spoke words, in a soft voice with a clear english accent. She tilted her head, a curious expression lit her face..

Lyave

He looked slightly surprised when she asked him that question knowing that just standing here could be dangerous for them, but as long as they stay quiet then it should be fine. He gave small nod when she asked him hearing her accent as well. He glanced around once more for checks before he toke the guns and backpack. Lyave put the other gun in the backpack then swung it around him as well as the other gun then tighten the strings. "Anyone watching you?" He asked though not sure if it was hurtful subject to ask of her, but he had to know just in case if she and the other split by accident.
 


Celia Roman
Celia watched him strap the guns and take the things from her before hearing him ask if anyone was watcher her. She shook her head and whispered, "No.. My big brother died a month ago, I've been on my own ever since.." She said quietly, looking down at the ground with a gloomy expression. She looked up at him and smiled small. "We came here to America to visit my parents, and they travel a lot. When we came that's when the monsters came, and mommy and daddy died.. Big brother and I were stuck here and well he died a month ago saving me from a monster.." She sighed softly and swayed, holding her bunny..

It had been about fifteen minutes since Alex had shut the large metal door and took post against the wall next to it with his knife in hand. He had sat there listening to the muffled sounds of the girls body being devoured by those grotesque creatures. He hasn't retreated from the door to see what was taking the others so long to join him but he figured they were preparing.

By this time he had heard the sound of the creatures shuffling off. Just as he stood to make his way back into the stores main room he caught the sound of something else out in the alley. He pressed his ear against the cold metallic surface and tried to slow his breathing.

Then he heard it... The voice of what sounded to be a young girl... Very young. He slowly cracked the door and peered outside. The coast seemed clear enough. He pushed the door till it stood wide and eyed the two people standing in the alley, a few feet away from what was left of the girl and the dog... Where was the girls handgun?

He shrugged off the thought and motioned for the two to coke inside. " In here guys... Its safer than standing idly in a bloody alley." He nodded towards the door and waited for them to make their move and kept his blade down by his hip, trying to show he had no intention of attacking them.

Lyave

He listened carefully, and quietly as the young spoke of what happened to him. He could feel sorry for the girl but didn't show it though as he was getting ready to tell her to come on that's when he something near. His gun ready he pointed at the person that appeared from the door, and had the young close behind him. He kept the gun at him for a while then put it down seeing that the person was harmless he put it in his pocket, an looked over to the girl. "Come on." He said lightly pushing her inside the building where other was.


"Read my mind." He said as he toke the girl inside.
 




Celia Roman


Celia jumped when someone had opened a door behind her and scurried behind the male she had just met. She eyed the other male wearly before she was lightly pushed along inside. She guessed it was ok if he was going in too so she followed him. When inside she stood close to the english boy and looked around. She saw two other girls and a.. wolf? Her eyes grew wide staring at the beast, "Americans can tame those beasts?" She had a confused look on her face as she spoke in her soft english voice. Celia held onto the males jacket and eyed the three people, being cautious. She didn't trust these people, any american really. When she was with her brother, they tried doing bad things to her but her brother would always stop them. Celia sighed softly and stared at the ground, hungry. Her tummy rumbled and she held it, blushing lightly, slightly embarrassed..
 

'Hope'
wptFZGv.png
A kid.
A child.
In these conditions.
Hope covered her face in her hands briefly to fight back her very fleeting urge to scream at the stupidity going on in these times. It was bad enough that anyone had to deal with things like the walkers, death, and making difficult choices, but a child? That was just unfair. The girl calmed herself down a tad now that she knew there was no immediate danger, however, and instead went back to sit down and quietly reflect on everything happening. Would it have been better that she died with her father? Perhaps she wouldn't have had to witness the day a kid got dragged into all of this if she had.
Hope wasn't religious by any means, but she felt she must have had some sort of purpose if she was still alive. Some ultimate goal she had to complete before she would be allowed to rest. With that firmly set in her mind, she chilled a bit more and let out a soft sigh.

Alex eyed the man pointing a gun at him. -really? This moron was... Well, guess he can't be too careful.- He just nodded as the two stepped into the building and quickly barred the large door shut behind them. As he made his way back into the main room, brushing a few strands of ivory hair from his face he easily caught the look of shock on Hopes face. There was something else there too, but he couldn't quite place it.

Alex sat himself barely a foot from Hope, eyeing the two new members of this slowly growing group of ragtag survivors. "so... I believe introductions are in order... My name is Alex"

He tried to give a reassuring smile to the small girl, knowing this whole experience must be hard enough without adding hostile looking people to the mix. Although he was horrible at social interaction even before this whole fiasco began, so he couldn't be sure if his smile would be reassuring or disconcerting.

He nudged his shoulder softly against Hopes', both to nudge her to introduce herself, and to silently mouth "are you okay?"

Lyave

Once inside he saw the others that were two girls and a wolf. He began to question about the wolves a little but didn't care much about it when he felt the girl grab hold on his jacket tightly he glance down at her with small shrug. Must be so or maybe just a luck or a half bred. Lyave went back looking at the three before heard a small growl from below at first he thought it was him or them but it wasn't so far he knew. When he looked down, and seen it was coming from the little girl.


With a thought he toke off the backpack and rummage through it until he found something, Some food items going through it he found some chips that she could eat. "Here…' He gave it to her after opening them. He looked over to them then decided to as well speak of his name. "L-" He began but then looked over to the girl that looked shocked in ways he could understand from where she was looking. A little girl here should how bad things really are…"Lyave." He finished then slung the backpack back over his shoulder.
 

'Hope'

"She's just a kid, Alex..." Hope whispered over to the male, though she did let out a soft sigh and move to introduce herself. Even in such terrible times, she couldn't lose sight of common courtesy and kindness. "My name is Hope." she spoke as calmly as she could manage, trying to keep her eyes off of the child in the room to avoid getting herself upset over the matter again.
 


Celia Roman
Smiling, Celia took the bag of chips and began munching on them. She stared at the tough looking girl, raising her eyebrow at her. Hasn't she ever seen a little girl before? Celia felt weird around these people, they were holed up here and had a wolf on top of that. She didn't want to stick around, she may have been safe but that doesn't mean anything to her. She doesn't know these people and doesn't really want to by the looks of things. The american boy was fine, but that girl gave her the creeps. She seemed like a serial killer or something. Celia had quite an imagination but just stood behind the male munching innocently on chips. When the boy had asked for names, she patted her mouth clean. Hearing Lyave say his own she looked up at him, "T-thank you for the crisps Lyave.." She spoke in a quiet voice before looking at the other boy. "My name is Celia Roman, delighted to meet you Alex.. and you as well Hope.." The young child curtsied before hiding behind Lyave again. Humanity may have gone down the shit hole but this little girl still had manners..

Alex sighed looking to the small girl and hearing what sounded like pain in Hope's voice. He let out a small sigh and looked back to the two new people. "alright... Well this is the first time I've had a chance to sit down for this discussion." His voice was kept low, his tone seemingly distant as he spoke. "I'm planning on heading for Louisiana. The moisture and the heat of spring and summer should rapidly increase the rate of decomposition for the monsters. . . anyone else heading south?"

He sat there quietly eyeing the others, trying to gauge their reactions. He was pretty secure in the thought that at least Hope would go with him, but he eyed the others curiously. His emerald eyes looking down to the floor still waiting for the others input.
 
Yuki Storm
_2581x3645.jpg
Yuki had woken up as soon as hope told her too and grabbed Shadow in her arms and followed the others. She didn't speak much just stood their and watched them looking at the others. She sighed seeing the little girl was this world do bad that even young kids like her was alone. she didn't introduce her self to the new people she just stood their holding her wolf pup. She closed her eyes and listen cutting out the conversations around her and listen to the her soundings deciding if she heard anything she would spring into action. Shadow sleepy awoken to the sounds of the other snuggling into Yuki's arms looking at the people with his soft blue eyes. Yuki then spoke quietly " Alex if it isn't any trouble may me and Shadow come along with you to the south ?" she asked softly almost like a whisper but loud enough for them to hear her.
 
Celia Roman
Celia scrunched her face up. Louisiana? She thought to herself. She didn't want to be in America period. She wanted to go back home but there was no way of going home. In order to go home she would need a plane but she was too small to drive one and not smart enough. She sighed softly giving up hope. There was no way going back home and that was that, she was stuck here left all alone. She had completely no one which made her feel depressed. Celia stared at the ground thinking for a while listening to what the older kids said. She wanted to say no but that wouldn't help, and she definitely didn't want to stay here where its cold. She squeezed Lyave's jacket, trying to hold her tears back. This was no time to cry she thought to herself. She had to be a big girl. Celia knew one thing for sure, she wanted to stay with Lyave, she would follow him like a lost puppy. He found her so he would take responsibility she thought. She may be acting a bit selfish and stubborn but he was the only hope she had left...
 

'Hope'

"You know I'm with you." Hope replied, flashing Alex her best attempt at a smile. Finding somewhere that made it hard for the dead to get around for very long sounded like a gift from God in the middle of Hell. The only problems that arose in her mind were the issue of finding suitable sustenance once they were there, actually making it through the twisted world outside, and making sure no one went insane along the way.
