i dug my finger into the ground, eyebrows furrowed as i tried to keep focus towards what i was trying to do, letting the noises around me fade back. i scooped out the dirt and placed it into my palm, scoffing lightly and standing from my previously squatting position. my eyes scoured the scene of all that my peripheral field of vision could pick up, seeing many things out of place, many things wrong, but taking no second thought to it. i guess i could go ahead and associate in to say that i was used to things around here so shifted and corrupted. since i found out about the virus, my instinct hit overdrive, working ten times harder to keep myself alive. my brother had fallen with it about a month ago, and hating to see him suffer, ended the problem for him. we were semi-close, him a bit more distant than i was. but all the same, blood was blood, and we shared that.

i was sure that i was fine. ever since seeing how the virus affected my brother, i had sworn up and down and to whatever god there was that i would keep myself safe and free from any nasty wounds or direct inflictions from other people, infected or not. because yeah, like i'd ever really know if they were lying about it or not. once the more physical appearances of the virus kick in it's rather obvious, but at stage one, it's hardly noticeable unless you look deep into it. i for one wasn't about to lay down my weapons and let myself relax. anything but relax, as that'd be possibly the most dangerous option for me to take on at this point.

i forced myself out of and away from my thoughts long enough to compose myself and begin walking, which wasn't really a regular walk. my stance was more crouched, me carefully placing one foot in front of the other, left, right, pause, repeat. survival came like words to me, i didn't even have to give it thought anymore. my eyes narrowed some as i inspected each flicker of movement, each shift in the shadows that were around me, each sound. i wasn't paranoid, wasn't on hyperdrive. i was basing life off instinct, the thing that was the difference between life and death these days.

another few swift movements and i was out of the rather dead-leaf cluttered portion, bounding across a more spacey lot, stopping once she saw a building housing movement inside, a low growl immediately forming. i knew the area, and knew that this building had been long abandoned. and yet somebody had the audacity to invite themselves in? scoffing, i move away from the trees and slowly make my way into the street, gazing at the building while occasionally sweeping my vision for a three-sixty. i couldn't help but move closer, silently praying that whoever was in there wasn't a; infected and would b; actually let me in. who knew with the humans that were left these days? myself included, we were all ridden up on the pure centralized thought of survive.

Kacey stared down at the sidewalk below her. By the distance from her to the ground she could kind of tell she was on the fourth or fifth floor at least. Kacey wouldn't let go of the fact she saw movement below her. She pressed her palms on the window sill and leaned against the glass, her forehead pressed to it. Her breath made a fog on the glass but it disappeared as quickly as it disappeared. Kacey tapped on the floor with the toe of her boot to a song she had stuck in her head since before this whole disease spread, in fact is one of the only modern things she can remember hearing since before this, that at the screams at night when the creatures broke into your home. Kacey shivered and clenched her jaw. Almost instantly the air in the room became old. She felt overwhelmed, like she couldn't break. Kacey climbed up to the top of the tall window by resting her knees on the windowsill and pulling down the glass with all her weight. She breathed in with a nice sigh.

i held my gaze strictly at the building, eyes narrowed to near perfect slits, my hands clenching and unclenching. more movement caught my eye and another hiss bursted from my throat, wanting to know who was in there. a few more steps and i reached the door, trying it and finding it jammed shut. obviously whoever was up there, was a human who was trying to survive. the sound of a low animalistic noise caught my ear and i couldn't help but to resort to trying to kick the door down, unable to, as i soon discovered. great. freaking fantastic. another few tries, all of them equally futile. but i wasn't going to give up, not when i noticed the noises growing closer. i picked up the nearest object, which was some lawn decoration, and began trying to tear the door down, strips of wood giving and i finally made a small hole in the door. not enough for me or even a small child to crawl through. gritting my teeth, i kept working until there was just enough space for myself and not the creature, bolting through the hole and rolling out onto the floor, immediately rocketing up to my feet, fighting stance. "aight. who's in here? i ain't gonna hurt you, but if i gotta, trust me- i will." yeah, so reassuring. whatever. i'll beat myself up for that later.

Kacey jumped out of her skin. She turned around, making a scratching sound on the floor with the heel of her boot. She looked down the short hallway into the other room. Kacey padded over to the doorway silently and peered out into the big office room. She stood up straighter like someone had yelled at her, but not perfect posture, she had no time for that. "So it is possible that there are others with high immune systems" She said a little bit louder. She was not in a fighting stance, simply standing there leaning on the wall, she was too tired for a fight right now. She didn't want to her loss of strength to a new person, she didn't want to look like she was dying.

my eyes narrowed some at the scraping sound and then words, turning slowly with my head held slightly high. i followed the sound and paused once i saw a girl who was obviously older than me, standing opposite of the room. "is it possible for you not to worry about stupid stuff right now? we're kinda in the middle of a huge pandemic." i rose my eyebrow as my eyes scanned her over, head tilted slightly. "two things. one, are you infected? and two, who are you? no gettin' outta that one, either." i took another few steps until i was standing more in the office, my hands clenched into fists at my sides, sharp ice blue eyes narrowed into hers, my rigid stance never relaxing. i knew how an infected person would act, and as far as i could tell, she was safe. but i wasn't going to take any chances. i learned from my mistakes a while back when my brother was alive, promising myself to never repeat the stupidity i had outputted in the situation.

Kacey rolled her eyes but stopped to stare at her half way. "I am not infected" She said, her Spanish accent was thick, making it almost hard to understand what she was saying. "I am Kacey" She said. She knew she had never met this person before in her life, so the two stupid answers wouldn't help so much. Kacey studied the room behind her quickly before looking back at you. The only ways out of the room, if they had to were windows, or they could wait, lure all the diseased in and run out the door. Kacey sighed a little. Shifting her weight.

i gave a curt nod, letting out a hissed sigh, picking up her accent. though i had my own accent, it was just something about the thickness and the way her words would come out like she was trying to choke down cement that got me. my accent was thick, but people could at least understand the slang and draw. "name's thunder. glad to see you ain't gonna kill me." i did not relax, however. instinct was still playing heavily on me. i'd never been able to get over people in general, always unable to trust them purely. my parents had destroyed that for me. "how long you been up here? an i'm guessin' you've been on your own?" my eyes scanned around for any other signs of life, catching none as far as what i could pick up. i straightened my posture slightly, trying to make myself appear taller, which wasn't that hard for a girl as tall as i was. i already towered over most people i knew, being six two and still growing the product of that.
