He squeezed her one last time before letting go, "Let's go then," He stood outside, in the cool air, hugging her one last time
Apocalyptic rp, anyone? (OxO)
She returned the embrace, resting her cheek on his shoulder. “Maybe… maybe we should stay together for just a little while longer,” she suggested. “Just until we can find other people to partner with. It’s not safe going out alone.”
"Are you sure?" He asked, kissing her forehead
She smiled faintly and closed her eyes, taking in his warmth. “Mhm, I’m sure,” she said. “There’s a town a couple days walk away. I’m sure we can fInd a couple other people there.”
"Okay," He grabbed her hands and began to walk with her, "When we find people, we'll split." He had the biggest smile on his face, looking like he just got married.
She squeezed his hand gently as they walked. “Did anything happen while we were separated?”
"umm, not exactly, just normal zombie stuff." Her averted his eyes from hers and looked forward, "We should search some of these houses for food and water," He prompted, changing the subject as best he could
She raised an eyebrow. “You’re acting a bit strange,” she said. “Is everything alright?”
"I'm sure we both have seen a lot, the fall wasn't to long ago." He opened the door to a larger house, looking for warmer clothes and food, "We don't really need to talk about it,"
She let out a soft sigh as she followed him. “Yeah, but don’t exhaust yourself trying to hold it all in,” she said. “If you ever need to chat, I’m here, okay…?”
"I would never not tell you," he said with a smile, "look around for any clothes that might fit you, it's getting colder everyday." Killian searched the house for walkers, thankfully only finding one, he quickly killed it and moved on
She walked through the house, staying mostly silent as she searched for any warm clothes she could find. Eventually, she found a thick winter coat, boots, and a hat along with something she wasn’t expecting.
“Look, Killian, I found something.” She walked up to him, holding a picture album in her hands. “A couple used to live here…”
"If a couple lived her, why didn't I find two walkers?" He rubbed the back of his neck as he looked at the photos. "Olivia.. look," a photo was taken before the fall, they were having a baby, "search the house! She might still be here!"
Olivia nodded and took her gun, heading upstairs. She began searching through each of the rooms, trying to find any sort of sign of life.
Killian looked through every door down stairs. He opened one of the doors to reveal a basement, "This place has a basement!" He yelled to her
She hurried downstairs to meet him, and she reached over and grabbed his hand before they went into the basement. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Olivia could start to hear crying coming from further inside.
Killian moved towards the sound, he pulled out a small flashlight and pointed it around. It landed on a woman, her face red with tears running down her cheeks, her shaking arms held a knife up.
“Ma’am, put the knife down.” Olivia’s hand tightened around Killian’s. “We’re not going to harm you…”
She continued to cry as she dropped the knife. Killian rushed to her side, the woman's lips were cracked and her voice was rough. He put his bottle of water to her lips, letting her drink. "Olivia, you have the chapstick, don't you? She really needs it,"
She nodded and got down on her knees next to them. She began to search around in her bag, and she soon pulled out some chapstick. “It’ll be okay,” Olivia whispered. “But… what happened here?”
"the zombies came and.. my husband went to find food, then he came back saying one of them bit him.." she said in-between sobs, "he only got sicker and sicker, then he became one of them! And all the stress I.. I lost the baby," she held her stomach, as she cried
Reia placed a reassuring hand on the woman’s shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze before she turned to Killian. “We have to get her out of here,” she said. “Take her somewhere safe.”
"are you able to walk? The area is safe for now but I don't know how it is further on," he helped her up on her feet, "let's get you into better clothes," he spoke softly, "stay right here," he grabbed Olivia's hand and led her upstairs. "What do we do with her, she'll be killed out there,"
She sighed, pulled her jacket tighter around her. “Maybe we can try finding a car. We can steal one if we have to,” she said. “That way, we can get her somewhere faster.”
"Car's are to loud, we can be drawing them any closer to where we are." He rubbed his temples, "She had a miscarriage, she's probably in pain… fuck.. should we just stay here for a little bit, she needs rest."
“I suppose so. But we still need to stay on alert. There are probably zombies around here…” She sighed and closed her eyes as she rested her head on his shoulder. “Hopefully there’s enough food to sustain us for a while…”
"we'll get her on her feet and we'll get going, we're going to need to help her." Killian hugged her tightly and kissed her head, "are you ready for this?"
She slipped her arm around him and smiled faintly. “Not really, but… what other choice do we have? She’ll die if she stays here much longer.”
"Let's go get her," Holding Olivia's hand, they walked back downstairs. The woman's legs were shaking as she stood. "Can you check her for bites, love?" He asked Olivia
She nodded and began to check her arms, legs, and face for any bite marks. “As far as I can tell, she’s clear,” Olivia replied. “She has multiple injuries, but no bite marks.”
