Samantha Hawk. 16. Foraging

Chocolate. Slow-cooked lamb. She stared at the pile of plants in her bag, wishing they could magically transform into something else that wasn't green and covered in mud. Seriously, she'd prefer cabbage to another slop of cooked dandelions mixed with the few other plants she knew were edible. No. This had to stop. Dreaming of food wouldn't make it appear. Frowning, she concentrated once again on scanning the ground for edible plants. When she thought about it she was lucky dandelions were edible, they were really easy to find, even if they weren't the best tasting food.

"Roxy, stay close," she called out, not too loudly, without even looking up. This was a routine she had got into to make sure the mongrel didn't get too far from her. Spotting a dandelion leaf, she kneeled down and fixed her hands around the base of the plant, pulling till it came up, and then dropping it into her bag.

"Christ, Wifi!" Alex groaned through clenched teeth at her cranky sugar glider, of whom was trying to burrow into her neck while letting out low drawn out chirps to inform his owner he was hungry. This had gone on for an hour, and Alex wasn't putting up with it any longer. Thankfully, they were in a wooded area, so a stop wasn't completely out of the question, yet still. They were back down to three bottles of water, and a package and a half of beef jerky, so she wanted to put off eating for as long as she could, though she'd slipped her pets a peice every now and then that day despite her own rules, just to keep them quiet. But now, it was time she'd eaten something as well. She broke away from the road, maneuvering trees and bushes in attempts to hide her car. Once she was content she was far enough away from the road, she cut off the engine, feeling relieved as the hum of the engine ceased. She set the sugar glider on the dashboard with a piece of beef jerky before feeding afew to the elderly chocolate lab, standing gaurd in the passenger seat. She paused a moment before taking a bite herself. The only thing that kept her eating the same thing was hunger, as she hadn't dare get out of the car until she was content it was hidden. Despite her actions, something told her she wouldnt have the car much longer anyway. She gave her pets some water before packing the previsions into a backpack along with a few boxes of ammo. Thank god her uncle was insane. She then slid her fingers up the sides of her calves, counting her throwing knives. She didn't have much protection, but she wanted to make sure what she did have was accounted for. She tucked her sugar glider into an inside pocket of her leather jacket and got out, The chocolate lab following closely behind. She quickly disconnected the battery and loaded in into her pack. It was a pain, but it just might mean a ride later on. She then walked to the front of the car and opened the trunk to retrieve her clothes. Then, she was off - traveling into the unknown and hoping for the best.

"Roxy, come here!" Sammi called out, louder this time and soon a black dog trotted over to her, wagging it's tail. Bending down, she smoothed back Roxy's ears, ruffling them slightly. A tail wagged hard and Sammi smiled, remembering how glad she was that she had Roxy with her. Glad to have a companion.
In the distance she suddenly thought she heard a rumbling, like machinery. It couldn't be machinery though; was it a motorbike or a car? Whatever it was meant other people and Sammi hefted her bag of food, saying to Roxy in an urgent voice, "Come on Roxy, follow me." She then began to make her way back to ehr hill and home.

Florence Green. Sixteen. Bored.

Florence lay on the hard wooden floor of her "bedroom", kicking her legs in the air, She pushed herself in a sitting position, sighing wearily, then stood up, grabbing her bag from the unmade, creaky bed and walking out of the room, watching so her feet didn't get stabbed by any nails sticking up from the floor. Hey, it was known to happen. And she was so bored, it was the most exciting thing she could do. Florence had struck a bit of luck, she had to admit, by stumbling upon this huge, abandoned house, but it was still creepy. She hadn't worked up the courage to see if there was a family of cannibals waiting in the cellar for her.

She jumped the last few steps of the stairs and opened the door, pulling on her shoes that she left in the hallway. She looked up at the sky, blinking at the sudden light, before walking outside, yawning again. She had to do... something. Anything to take her mind off the mind-numbing boredom and also the thought niggling at the back of her head that the violence was getting nearer. She knew it.

Toby barked at every little thing and Wifi chirped hapily, as if they'd both gone mad. Alex tried to shut them up with the end of yet another bag of jerky. This worked for the sugar glider, but it wasnt long until the lab had eaten his share and resumed his plan of running ahead, and then whining at Alex to walk faster. Which was odd, he usually wasn't like this. It was almost as if he smelled something ahead, and was over excited to find it. "Toby, I'll get the leash." Alex threatened in a hushed tone and the dog fell silent.

Walking quickly she began to make her way up a slope, she was down in a valley and needed to get higher up to spot her hill. Her breathing increased as she made her way up the slope, Roxy trotting near just behind her, stopping to sniff every now and then but then catching up. She knew her owner wanted her to stay close from her tone of voice.
Soon she was at the top of the hill where she stopped to rest, sitting down on a rock and get a piece of meat out of herself and a bone for Roxy. The meat had already been eaten off it a long time ago but the bone could be chewed. Putting the meat in her mouth she began to chew. It was hard but did taste okay, she had cooked it with herbs.

Alex followed her dog through the woods with no better way of navigation. "Funny how this would be earier in New York..." She mumbled to herself as she found herself walking up hill. Well, atleast they weren't walking in circles. She froze at what seemed to be the half-way point, studying head after noticing Toby, of whom was starring at two figures at the top of the hill, having seen them through expancive bushes, it took Alex alittle longer to make them out. Post apocolyptic people? What were the chances of that all the way out here? Surprizingly good, as she saw one of her theoratical 'bushes' move.

Florence Green. Sixteen. Bored.

Florence sat down, fixing the laces on her boots impatiently as they fell loose again. She looked up and around, and grinned when she saw the twitching rabbit ears sticking out of the greenery. Great. There was dinner, anyway. She tied her hair up with a piece of elastic and stood.

Florence pushed her fringe from her eyes and made her way down, her tread soft on the mixture of grass and bracken. She almost got to the rabbit before it sensed something- her scent, probably- and bounded off. "Damn it!" She said angrily, then clapped her hand over her mouth, looking around. Whatever, there wouldn't be people here anywa... People. Oh, my God, there were people. She dropped to her knees quickly and scuttled backwards, using her feet to push herself. "Oh God oh God oh God..." She mumbled. Pssh, she wasn't scared. Nope. Not at all. Okay, yes, maybe she was scared.
