The two boys walked side-by-side along the edge of a road, holding small weapons they probably couldn't even use. Taser, a very old German Shepherd was leading the way, nose in the ground and sniffing around. Suddenly, the dog stopped, and Hayes sighed, stopping behind him and waiting. The dog began to park, and Hayes hissed out, "Shut up, Taser! We need to be quiet." Noah slapped the boy in the back of the head; hard. He was always hurting the kid any chance he got. They pretty much hated each other but couldn't be on their own.

"No you shut up. He don't know no better!" "Noah I swear to g-" "What?! What're you gonna do? You can't start fights if you're not gonna be the one to finish them, and we both know I can talk you down so easily!" "Noah m' gonna-" They stopped, as the sound of screaming filled the air. That's why Taser was acting so crazy. Noah looked over at Hayes, and said, "We need to go help them, c'mon." Hayes just sighed in response, but didn't say no, and ran after his step-brother toward the commotion in the woods.

They were probably already dead. Infected were crawling here, and them screaming had to be drawing in more. Taser made his way into a bush, and came out on the other side as he saw girls being lifted onto horses. The two boys came up, Hayes first and a huge grin came across his face. He slightly raised his chin in the air, and Noah came up beside him suddenly. "Quit staring at them like they're meat, you're like, five." Noah hissed at him, and Hayes turned his head with a scoff.

"Is everything okay?" Hayes suddenly asked, raking his gaze over each of the girls. They didn't really see many girls nowadays, and he, including Noah, had missed having them around. Hayes was more of one to talk and negotiate and Noah was more of one to stand there beside his dog with his arms crossed over his chest. "We heard some screaming and a dog howling." He added with a slight laugh.

Hayes was a bit surprised when one of the girls jumped off the horse, and he was immidiately pulled on to it after she got off. Oh, okay. He looked down at his brother, a glare in his eyes; as usual. He really disliked his step-brother. Noah's mother married Hayes' dad, hayes mom had left for work out of the country and hadn't returned in two years with no contact right after she had divorced his father, and Noah was some perfect rich kid who had a close relationship with both his mother and father. He hated the boy dearly.

He honestly hoped that he would get mauled out here while they went back to the house. But looking at Taser, he immidiately felt bad after that thought. So he said, "Taser, buddy, follow the horse." And off they went. Once at the house, hayes was the first one down from the large horse, and he patted at the muscled animal before taking a step back to let the girls get off. Then the first thing he said was, "uh..I'm Hayes." But the one with the horse just went back and returned with a gun, shoving it into his arms. She trusted him with it? Huh. He kind of just looked over at Kennedy with a shrug of his shoulders, and then down at the dog by his heels.

Noah watched as the horse went off, and he was left alone with a stranger. She was pretty. His gaze dropped down to her foot, which she was holding up slightly, and her ankle was a bit bloody. "Lets..start walking toward where they went, c'mon, I'll give you a piggy back ride." A grin came across his face, and he took a couple steps forward. Then he just stopped. He was a total stranger to her. Would she really want a piggy-back-ride from him? Probably not. But he had to try.

"Oh..we don't really know each other. I'm Noah, Noah Jones and that was my step-brother Hayes Grier. You are?" Once she answered him, he grinned even wider and said, "There we go, now we're acquaintances. Not strangers." He turned around now, slightly turning his head as she waited to climb on his back. Once done, he started walking toward the way they had went, and said, "Sorry about your ankle. Must've hurt pretty badly.."

Johanna had laughed at his comment about her rejecting the two minute kiss idea. She then breathed out in short laughs, "Wow, what a sweet boy you are." [why am i laughing what.] And to his disappointment about her ruining the moment, she purred with a sly smirk and a, "Sorry to get your hopes up." A grin stay plastered on her face, blue eyes filled with amusement and wonder at what he had to say. His words were sweet; making up for his previous comments and charming as ever.

She slightly raised an eyebrow, and said, "Oh, really? Is that so?" When he had suddenly asked the next question, she breathed out a sigh and rolled onto her side, putting her hand into her chin and elbow propped against the bed, and she watched him. "No, I don't think that's weird." She answered truthfully. "Three years isn't that big of a difference. Why, do you think it's weird?" She asked him.

Then, she just warned, "Actually, you're the one who was into me first so don't you even dare.." After she said that, she laughed a little bit and muttered, "You're so stupid.." And then, moments after she added teasingly, "What ever even happened to your sniper? I bet you can't even shoot one straight now." She was saying that because she remembered he could shoot it without hardly ever missing right where he wanted to hit it, and she was honestly curious what happened to the thing. Random, but still.

Taser eyed the small dog, a short wave of a wag on his tail. "Oh, uh, I'm a Taser...Taser Jones!" He barked in response to the little dog. He then, at the sound of a girl calling Hayes' name, he turned around and trotted toward them, where hayes was being pulled onto a horse.

Hayes didn't really like horses much, but he wasn't going to say no to her. So he just rode along with the girl, laughing a bit and turning his head at the sound of the zombies. His eyes widened a bit, and he called, "Taser come on!" infected were definitely not something he wanted to see right now, or really ever, so he was silently encouraging the horse to go faster. As they made it into the barn, he hopped down, and climbed up the hay loft after the girl.

Noah didn't think she was heavy at all, especially for a fourteen year old. "Oh, I'm fifteen. And I lived there too! ..what p-" He was cut off by footsteps behind them. His heartbeat sped a little bit, and he did as was told, helping her onto the opposite horse, and then getting on after her. He was a pretty patient person, but right now all he wanted to do was go off on his own on the horse and away from here. But he couldn't. Emily had the lead rope.

Soon enough, they had escaped the zombies and were in the barn. He jumped off the horse, and without giving Kendall a choice, helped the girl off and carried her bridal style up the hay loft, setting her down onto the floor and turning to grab the guns and weapons Emily was giving them. Once he got his, he took the safety off of his, pointing it out the window and shooting it at the first zombie he saw. Once he shot, he let out a, "Holy crap! Bout' knocked my shoulder out of place."

Hayes looked at his step-brother after that, and decided he wanted to try, and shot another one of the zombies down. "Jesus Christ.." "Well hurry up and kill em' all!" "I'm working on it!" And the boys continued to shoot out and take zombies down like swag monies

Hearing the girls talk, Hayes slightly laughed and continued to shoot at the zombies coming at the barn door. There weren't many left, but still enough to kill all of them easily. Hell, one of the iinfected could get them all if it was smart enough and they were dumb enough. Soon enough, Hayes was out of bullets and Emily was calling to Kennedy about getting more. But his brother was still going.

Noah was taking his time with the shots, making them count as he hit the targets. "It is a little bit llike call of duty." He laughed out, finding aim on another one of the walkers. He still had two bullets left, while the others were sounding like they were out. "Its just a lot scarrier than the game, that's for sure!" he shot off two more, and slightly turned his head to look at the others, especially Kennedy who seemed to be getting the ammunition.

Noah still had a small little grin on his face despite what was going outside and the fact zombies could break in at any moment and get them all. "I dont tthink we need much more, they're almost gone.."

Noah was really surprised when a zombie or two made it inside the barn. He pulled himself to his feet, yanking his brother up with him quickly. "Wow, I didn't know you care about my safety.." Hayes said, grabbing the bag of guns Emily had asked him to get. Noah had put hayes in the front of him, the two boys going down first after the zombie was killed. "I don't care about your safety," Noah said with a scoff, and added, "I just didn't wanna get eaten first. They woulda gone after you and I woulda escaped..with the girls of course."

"Yeah, figured." Hayes said. They were pretty much having a conversation as they got upon the horses and Noah had made sure the girl he had carried earlier made it onto a horse just fine. He liked her. He thought she was pretty, and she seemed quiet and so far her personality was just over all cute. He pulled himself onto a horse which happened to be Poise. The bag of guns, he swung around on his front and put it in his lap.

Hayes gladly took Emily's hand to pull himself up. Once he did, she practically shoved a gun in his face and he took it without any words, instead just a nod of his head in indicate he understood what he needed to do. When the door was opened, the infected began to pour in, and he shot over and over and over again. The scattering bullets helped; killing two or three at a time instead of just one. As long as he aimed for the head.

The horses all ran, and hayes shot the gun he was given. After getting out of that mob with a bit of difficulty and hopefully no bites or scratches and they were now running to wherever, hayes turned the safety on his gun and lay it in his lap. Noah came up beside Kennedy and Kendall on their horse, that stupid grin plastered big on his face, "y'all okay?"

Noah smiled slightly at the other girl. "Oh, I'm Noah. And yeah, fifteen." He answered her, looking forward as they had stopped and began overlooking something. He heard his step-brothers voice, telling someone his name and where he was from, which happened to be Kendall. Automatically jealousy hit him. He didn't know why he was jealous, maybe some 'I saw her first so she's mine' thing. Noah didn't know. "What is this?" He asked, hopping down from the horse to go investigate.

Noah, at Emily talking and explaining things slowly nodded, helping her pick up the wood and throw it over the fire pit, too. After they had finished, he stepped back, crossing his arms over his chest and saying after she had finished, "Oh..thanks." He looked toward the horse he had ridden, a great big animal with a broad chest. He stepped forward, feeling bad for the mouth thingy he had in his mouth, and took it out, setting it on the ground, along with his saddle and cushion thing.[saddle pad? idk.]

That probably wasn't the smartest idea, but he could imagine the horse was tired and probably didn't want that stuff on him any longer. After doing that, he turned around and stepped forward a little bit, seeing his brother disappear into the woods after Emily. Now he was alone with the girls, though he really didn't mind and preferred them over Hayes anyways.

Hayes had followed after Emily, going to go help her find wood. As he did, he heard her humming, and coughed awkwardly so she knew he was there and wouldn't start singing or something. Maybe she wouldn't've felt awkward, but he definitely would. "So..just big sticks and stuff then." He said, bending over to pick some of them up. "So...what part of Mississippi did you live in? My uncle used to live there."

He was just trying to start conversation with her, maybe even get to be friends with her. Anyone other than Noah, really. "Did you have any brothers or sisters? Step-parents? Have you ever been out of the country?" He asked her, raising an eyebrow. Honestly he didn't know where all these questions were coming from, but he didn't care. Better than picking up sticks and wood without talking.

When Jake had mentioned the train, Johanna slightly sighed. For that, she hated Peyton even more, actually, about fifty times more. She hadnt liked him from the beginning, killing that one boy and then coming so close to killing her. But the second one was pretty much her own fault, agging him on until he snapped and she paid the price. She would kill him at any time any place if she saw she could, or even if there was a way.

Interrupting her thoughts was jakes insult, and she scoffed and said, "Yeah, whatever! And that's mean!" His laughter made her laugh, obviously being contagious. When she had stopped, he was still laughing, she she slightly punched his shoulder and said, "Stop it, you laugh like a f-cking r-tard." A grin was still on her face, though.

When he apologized, she giggled, "Yeah, you'd better be.." And at him getting serious and turning to face her, she listened closely to what he had to say. His words shocked her, honestly. What was he saying? That he wanted to marry her? What, with a dress and people and tuxedos and vows and everything? Oh, she would kill to see Jake in a tuxedo. She didn't realize how pink her cheeks had become.

"Uh.." She started at first. "I would probably say yes." And she paused for a moment, before adding, "We're gonna have to wait it out, and as soon as it's over, that's the first thing we'll do."[that really depresses me bc i said she's gonna die and that's awh]

As they picked up sticks and twigs and talked, Hayes nodded a bit and listened to her. "Oh, my uncle was an alcoholic. You'd more than likely find him in the bar or at a strip club. Hell, the dude would bang everything that moved and had a-" He paused, realizing he was talking to a girl, and stopped abruptly, interrupting himself by trying to play off a cough. And he continued to pick up sticks and throw them into the pile they were creating. Going back to her step parents, he said for himself, "Oh, I had a step-mom too." He shook his head slightly.

That lady was gorgeous, blonde hair and blue eyes and rich. From her ex-husband. They had to split the money but it was still well over a few hundred thousand dollars. Noah's mom. "Noah's mom." He mumbled. "I'm pretty sure dad married her because we were pretty much in the dirt and had no money, and she was kinda hot." He laughed slightly.

He noticed that she didn't say anything about her mom, and he waited a minute or so before asking, "Uh..what about your mom? Were you close to her? Or.." Maybe she had just failed to mention her, or maybe she had died or like Hayes mom decided not to return home one day and went out of the country. He didn't know, but he was curious.

Noah looked at Kendall, and then at Kennedy. "Since you like horses a bunch and I don't think Kendall can walk and one of us needs to stay with her.." He hoped that didn't come off as too awkward. "Maybe you can tie them up? I mean, only if you want to."
