The Apocalypse Begins discussion

Merlin walked into the mall, carrying her daughter. She kept her eyes moving, wanting only to keep little Cadence safe.

Freddie walks up slowly to the mall doors, broomstick in hand. He slowly opens the door which causes a soft creak, but now loud enough for the infected to hear. He walks forward, almost stepping on a piece of glass which could have alarmed dozens of infected. He descends into the mall.

Merlin stopped, thinking she heard something only to shake her head and continuing to walk, hoping to find something she could use.

As he keeps walking, he think he hears a pattern of footsteps. He first believes it to be one of the infected, but then realizes they don't walk in patterns. He figures there must be another survivor. He begins to stride faster, careful not to make any noise or cause any infected to come to him.

Merlin found a store that still had most of it's stuff in it, and entered. She grabbed a few things for both her and Cadence.

"Mommy? Is daddy going to come back?" The little girl in her arms asked.

Merlin sighed, looking away from her daugher "No baby girl, Daddy has gone away. It's just you and me now" She answered.

Freddie suddenly stops walking, alarmed by a sound. He though he heard a small, frail voice. He realized it must be his imagination. He noticed a zombie, limping towards him. He initially was going to kill it, but he decided to leave it.

Merlin walked out of the store, freezing when she saw a zombie and a normal living person. She shifted Cadence to her back and narrowed her eyes at the zombie, rushing at it and stabbing it, only freeze when it looked her in the eyes.

Freddie was hesitant to talk. This was the first normal human he had seen in months. After what felt like forever, he finally spoke. "Who are you?"

He slowly lifted his broomstick in defense, making sure the woman didn't make any false moves. He then noticed she had a baby.

Merlin killed off the zombie, before turning to Freddie "Put the broom down Dude, I'm not going to hurt you" She said "And my names Merlin" She added.

Cadence hid her face in Merlin's shoulder, she was only used to her mother, and her father...while before he died.

Freddie didn't want to put his broom down. This unknown girl could want to kill him. Or be infected. He looked back at the little girl and finally set his broom down.

"M-my name is Freddie.'' he stuttered. "Are you infected?" Freddie added, just to be cautious.

Merlin shook her head "Nope Cadence and I are both uninfected...what about you?" She asked, shifting Cadence again.

"I'm n-not infected," Freddie stuttered again. "I was looking for food. I haven't eaten in days. I don't want any trouble." Freddie explained, putting his hands in up to show he was defenseless without his broom. Freddie began to think what he would do if the girl attacked. Would he defend himself? Would he kill her?

Merlin put her dagger back, and grabbed a small bag of chips out of her pocket, before tossing it at him. "Eat up" She said.

Cadence looked up Freddie, curious about him.

Freddie fumbled before ultimately catching the bag. He opened the bag slowly, careful not to rip the bag open and alert the infected. He inspected the inside of the bag, hoping nothing was wrong with it. He was starving. After inspecting the bag, he began to stuff the chips down his throat. Small crumbs of chips fell on the floor. "Thanks." Freddie muttered between chews. After finally swallowing the chips, he stepped closer to the girl named Merlin. "You may not trust me, but I trust you. We can travel together. Protect each other." Freddie said, hoping Merlin would say yes. He was almost bitten by a crawler yesterday when he woke up.

Merlin looked at her daughter, before looking back at Freddie "You get one change Freddie, you give me one reason not to trust you and I will kill you before you can blink" Merlin told him simply.

"I p-promise, I won't do anything to harm you or Cadence. We're spending too much time in one place. We need to move. There are p-probably infected all a-around here." Freddie said, beginning to get tired of his stuttering problem. He picked his broomstick from the floor.

Merlin walked towards an exit, holding her daughter on her left hip.

Cadencr waved at Freddie over Merlins shoulder.

Freddie awkwardly followed after the two. ''Where are we going now?" Freddie asked. He then heard loud footsteps. He whipped his head around and noticed a horde of runners far back. "Run!" Freddie yelled, pushing Merlin forward.

Merlin took off running, gripping Cadence closely.

Freddie then decided to stop running. "Run. I'll hold them off as best as I can. Don't stop running. GO!" he shouted, getting ready to sacrifice himself.

Merlin skidded to a stop, it was that type of foolish decision that got Cadence's father killed. She grabbed his arm and pulled him. "No, you will keep moving. No one will die on my watch" She stated.

Freddie didn't know what to do. He didn't want Merlin and Cadence to die, but they had just met. He wasn't going to risk his life for someone he didn't know. He ran. He ran faster than he ever ran before.

Merlin gave a nod, before running and catching up to him.

((Gtg bed))

While running, Freddie picked up a glass bottle and threw towards the runners. That would distract them. Only for a few seconds.

Alex came crashing through the window grabing a granade and throwing it at the runers then he took out two katanas he then ran torwards the hord cuting them without any of them touching him.

((Alex, before you can RP, you have to find someone to RP with))

((haha))

Kalista growled and raised her gun and shot multiple shots and grinned toward the sky and aimed at the runners from the top of the roof.

Freddie stumbled back at the sound of the gunshot. He picked up his broomstick, ready to attack any of the infected or survivors.

"Aoi!! Keep running kid theres one behind you!!" she said while shooting the zombie in the head multiple times before it finally fell.

Freddie whipped his head around, watching the runner fall right before it reached him. He impaled it with his broomstick to make sure it was dead. Or at least dead again. He looked up, noticing the girl.

She waved a hand her face distant as she shifted and a rope fell. "Come on fellow dont be afraid." she smiled at him though only briefly and fired another round of bullets and sighed. "This is getting old!" she remarked and reloaded her guns again.
There was a scratch on her cheek that was still bleeding but she couldve cared less.

He was hesitant to accept the girls offer, but he decided to go with the girl. He took the rope and began to climb up, his hands shaking from nervousness.

She set her gun on the floor and pulled the rope up sensing his nervousness and wiped at her own sweat and stared at him when his face was shown. "Your young." was all she said and the grapped a sniper and aimed it at a runner who was clawing at something and she shot multiple rounds at the runners.

"I'm 14. Or at least last time I checked." Freddie said, staring into the girl's eyes. He couldn't remember how he was. He was surprised he remembered his name. "You?" he asked, his hands turning white from gripping the broomstick to hard.

"16." she nodded and looked at his hand. "Hey dont be nervous im a girl but i can act like a male. Call me bro alright." she said and crossed her arms over her chest which would have been bare if she didnt have white bandages covering her chest, one long gloved arm and she was too pretty to be considered a male, but did she care no. Her long black hait was down but she would fix that later.

"Alright, bro." Freddie replied, a slight smile appearing across his face. He let his grip on his broomstick fade.

She grinned and tossed him a gun." Theres food in my bag beside you." she asked and grabbed a pair of binoculars and went of watch tying her hair into a pony tail. "Hmm, there you are father." she whispered to herself and grabbed the sniper beside of her.

"Father?" Freddie asked, not sure if she meant her actual father. He picked up the bag and threw it over his shoulders.

"My fathers a runner so im hunting him." she said simply aiming the sniper at his head of course the man was leading a bunch of zombies.
