Welcome to Gaia! ::

James



James backed up from the girl a bit and thats when she shouted something. Enough is what she shouted. It was obviously getting to her, the carnage, the blood. All of it must of disturbed her, especially since a killer was next to her. James had his breakdown already, when he left the apartment in the first place, on the way to the police station he broke down. And when he ran into a few more zombies he freaked out and tried to deny it but, he didn't let that get himself into trouble by trying to snap the dead walking out of it. He was not going to be killed yet. Not if he could help it. The girl though, she had locked herself up and obviously she just came out to see all this. Her mind probably trying to comprehend all this but failing to do so. It seemed like his words didn't get to her. That's when he put his gun in between his jeans and belt and looked her in the eyes, worry filling them. "Shh sh sh. Its ok. I swear, I'm not going to hurt you. As I said before, they were not themselves, if I would of hesitated they would of killed me earlier. And you now. My name is Jame." He started to say, replying to her mumbled up words. " And whats happening, I cannot really tell you, all I can is..it seems the dead are not staying that way.. and, it's happening all over the place. You need to get ahold of your self quickly. The police have they're hands full if they are not dead themselves, and we need to get out of here before we attract any more..." James said to her. "IF you have anything like a gun or weapon you can use in your room, you should get it." He then reached out his hand to take hers, hoping she could maybe trust him. But with all that has happened to the poor girl...he may just get tazed...

James



James was taken by surprise when the girl said thank you tazing him. He was taken even more when she leaned into him and started sobbing. Slowly he brought up his arms going to embrace her but he stopped and pulled his arms back a bit, as if he wasn't quite sure what to do. Slowly he put one hand on her back and patted it for a moment, a mediocre example of consoling her. But as she continued he put both arms around her and held her for a moment, bringing one hand to the top of her head. As she collapsed, he fell to his knees as she went down, still trying to hold onto her. It seemed he was the only source of comfort for the time being, so he would just have to go with it. "It's ok. I don't want to rush you but we need to hurry. I have a car out front. I'll go into your room with you so you can gather your stuff. We have to head to my house as well afterword so we don't have much time." He said letting go of her and grabbing her hands, ready to help her up.

James



James Smiled at her as she got up. She was hit hard by this, alot harder than he was. But he at first couldn't comprehend this at first either. On the way to the police station he was freaking out. All he could do was help her out as much as he could. He accepted her handshake and smiled at her trying to be comforting. "Well Clarissa, I wish it was better circumstances we met but its nice to meet you. Anyway, Yes lets hurry. " he said turning his head toward the dead bodies. His eyes started to swell with tears a little. 'What is causing all this' He thought to himself. He didn't know what was going on. All he did know is that from the point he shot the girl till this point, the town has changed drastically. Although he did not know how long it would last, everyones life has changed from this point on. Weather everything passes in a few ours or days. He turned back toward The girl as she spoke. "Going?" He said then went into thought, especially after she mentioned the police station.

James soon arrived at the police station. He was planning on reporting what he did and what had happened at the apartment complex. But the site complexed him. The door's were swung open, no police cars were there. IT was like an abandoned building, blood all over the place. Walking it it was empty of anything...alive. Infact there were bodies on the ground ripped to pieces, eaten and even ones twitching. Falling to his knees, James started to freak out. "WHAT THE ******** IS GOING ON." James remembers shouting. His breathing also increasing. "No no no...this can't be happening...whys this happening..." He got back to his feet and left the building, not thinking of looking for anything he could use. Shock taking his body.

James shook his head back to reality, realizing he was looking right at the girls eyes. " Weather we go to the police station or not, it be no help. Its not full....quite the opposite. Its worse than this hallway.." he said looking away and to the floor, looking as if it wasn't news he wanted to tell her. His voice a little trembling. " We have to go to my house, I have another gun there as well as more bullets. As well as food and other stuff to last for a little. If you need to go somewhere I'll take you there afterwords. Ok." He said looking back to the girl,

James



James nodded at Clarissa's answer. She was right, finding more people at this point may be a little bit more useful then just two people. But at the same time it could cause more attention to themselves. But never the less, it seemed that was the best plan of action. "Yes, we can do that, When we get to my car we will be safe in that until the gas runs out. After that then to my house. Where do you have in mind to go look after that?" he asked. " And more so...before we run out of gas we are going to have to find a place to hold up if need be. Our mall is pretty big and has multiple floors. We could always go there? But where ever we go, it must be easily watched. " He said looking shaking his head at her other question. " Six hours, You must of fell asleep or something after I ran into you. It's been a little over 12 hours since I was first here. Weather six or twelve hours it seems it's spread quite fast. But maybe, there could be alot of people left. Hopefully there are." He said looking past her then he started to walk toward her room. Slowly. " Alright, lets gather what you have to." he said reading his weapon and standing by the door. " You go in, I'll watch the door." He said motioning his head inside her room as he looked at her.

James



James just listened to her as she spoke. Clarissa was right, he actually just wanted to see her reaction to what he said about the mall. He's watched almost every zombie movie made and knew the mall may be a good place but also a deadly one at that. To many entrances and corners. What they needed was a place with maybe 3 or 4 exits and entrances but with second floor or roof access only accessible by a ladder or something claimable but can be knocked over so that there is no way to get to them unless you could fly. He just smiled at her reaction to where he said they should go, obviously she's seen these movies as well, but he wasn't going to admit he was playing around just yet. Clarissa took off into her room and he heard her gather stuff from there. As he waited outside for her, he kept his eyes on both ends of the hall, making sure nothing came up on them. So far so good.

When Clarissa finished, he nodded and started to jog toward the front door of the apartment complex. " The Coheed mall has three floors, we can barricade the bottom one. You know, like that movie." He said with a laugh then shook his head. " I'm kidding....most those people died anyway. That should only be a last resort, I'm guessing staying in one place for to long would only cause more and more to surround you.....there for making it impossible to get away in any normal circumstances. Keeping on the move would be best right now. But having somewhere with a couple stories is a good idea, as long as you can make sure that nothing can get to the next floor. Like a hang ladder or something...something you can push over or unhook. We will have to work it out later. " He said going ahead of her a little then stopping at the corner by the entrance and placing his back to the wall. " First thing's first, we should see if there is any other survivors. Even if it's not likely. IF there is, than we have a better chance to survive watching eachothers backs. But....we must not rely on each other to much...because if something goes wrong with one person...everyone can get in danger. Point is, even if someone watches your back," He paused for a moment, looking away from her around the corner, it was clear for now. He then looked back into Clarissa's eyes and gave her a serious look. " Don't stop watching your own back as well." He said pushing his back off the wall and turning the corner, swiftly walking toward the door, opening it and making his way to his car. Taking his free hand, he took his keys out and readied to start his car.

James



James opened his door and took seat into the vehicle, and no sooner Clarissa sat next to him but locked the door. " You know, They're zombies...I doubt they would open a car door." he said with a small chuckle. " I don't plan on going to the Mall, maybe past it to see if people are there...and laugh if they are doing exactly what the movie did. But, if push comes to shove we may have to hold up somewhere. And as you said, they have things to live off of, at least for a little while....maybe if we do end up in a mall we can just blow up the stairs...that would prevent them." He responded to her earlier comment. His eyes shifted just as Clarissa's attention went to a limping woman. It was a horrid sight which was easily seen by her reaction. "Please don't spue in my car...I understand it's the end of the world and all but I love this car..." he said putting his key in the ignition and starting it. " But Yes, I'll get you away...but just so you know..your going to have to get used to it...." He said shifting into first and letting go of the clutch. The car lurched forward as the g-force started to push them to the seat. Quickly he shifted to second and then third. They're bodies finally catching up to the speed of the car.

James watched the road, taking several turns, heading to his house. " Before, you said being in the open would be dangerous...how I see it now...no matter what we do there is danger in it. Staying in one place, they gather and eventually we make a mistake and they get in maybe....we wonder around. We are faster than them and they can't jump a fence or a rail as well as Me or you. Freerunning even in its minor state can be useful in this situation..but no matter what, we could make a mistake, mess up....and something could happen. No matter what Clarissa...we are in danger at all times. And that' show we need to see it. Weather we barricade ourselves and feel safe, or walking while avoiding them in the open." He said continuing to drive. His house would only take a few moments to get to.

James



James kept his pace with his vehicle as they made they're way to his house. He noticed her initial reaction to his car, but as it stood now..how everything was turning out, James really wasn't interested in trying to show off with the power of his vehicle. That's just how he drove, fast, dangerous, and smooth. James didn't let it seem like he noticed her reaction though, he just kept driving. He wanted to get to his house as soon as possible. He then heard her speak again, and his mind went back to when he went to the police department. All the bodies he saw, not only were they civilian type of dead, but there were a great amount of the police in there to. " Coheed PD won't be much help at all.....And with how it is here and no military has been sent in...I figure.." he paused for a moment turning into a driveway. " Well....its like this all around the country...maybe even world. If so...we may not get any help besides from each other." He said turning to her.. His facial expression serious but had a hit of sadness in it. From his tone one could tell he really believed what he was saying.

Slowly turning and opening his door, James stepped out of his car and looked around. Ducking back down looking into the Car he motioned his head for her to follow him. " I'd rather not leave you out here alone. Your stun gun's not going to be much of anything if you don't get them in the eyes." He said pulling his gun from his belt and holding it out to her. " Take it, If they get close I'll be able to fight them off...break they're neck or something... I have another gun in the house." He said waiting.
