    Shade sprung to her paws, a wild gleam in her pale emerald eyes. Long black fur bristled savagely, and her narrow chest rose and fell with unhidden urgency. A hoarse growl lay stuck in the back of her throat, sharp claws were sunken into damp soil. She stood rigid for a moment, until the cloud in her vision slowly drifted away. It hadn't been the call she had been dreaming of, though the timing had been inconvenient. It was only Toboe, nothing to be feared. Gradually her tail lowered to its normal height, her lips pulled down over gleaming fangs. As Shade padded out to meet her alphas', the fur lay flat on her back.

    Jack was cold. Her heart was frozen in the icy grasp of death. The chills had seeped under her skin, crawled into her crimson hands and hardened her once soft amber eyes. They no longer shone, they glinted. Much like steel does under a strong bright light. It was this piercing gaze that now slid over the shadowy building before her. Another scream shattered the still night, and the clammy grip tightened around her arm. "Don't look. You know better than to look." The girl thought sternly, but Jack had never been good with restraint.



    "Jack..." Tobias whimpered, looking into her eyes with his own warm brown ones. Why were her's always so hard? Even when they were holding him, their sharpness remained. He gently tugged her arm, begging silently. Jack didn't budge. His lip trembling threateningly, "There are people in there! Humans! Living, scared, trapped survivors just like us...." Jack's gaze flickered away, as locked as she tried to keep it Tobias could see the sliver of guilt. His heart pounding, Tobias moved so that he was in front of her. "You saved me." That did it. Jack sighed and nodded, slowly drawing her bow as they advanced towards the house.



    A broken silhouette staggered drunkenly through the dim streets. As the street lamp's glare began to caress the figure's spongy skin, it became evident that this was no living creature. A long juicy tear in the decaying flesh allowed skin around the infected's mouth to peel away in long thick strips. This revealed broken teeth, stained scarlet and black. Strings of slimy pulps soaked in blood hung caught in jagged molars.

    A soft snort came from a shadowy corner of the room. It was laced with contempt, and perhaps a touch of mild amusement. Piper stood leaned against the wall, the sole of a worn sneaker was pressed against the sweet pine wood that encased them. Her pale blue grey eyes were guarded as usual, revealing nothing that might be spinning in her mind. Dark brown hair resembling the color of forest shade seemed to melt into the dimy of corner, and it hung loosely around her sharp face. The quick burst of air from her nostrils was so short lived that some might have even doubted its existance. The small yet wry smiled played upon her lips was the only evidence that remained.

    Jack reacted quickly to the shambling newcomers, almost immediately a rugged arrow had been knocked onto her bow, which was now drawn back and ready to release. There were two, one slightly taller than herself and the other barely shorter than Tobias. Were they still... Human, she didn't know. "Freeze or the arrow goes through your skull!" The limber girl shouted, shoving Tobias behind her with a free leg. Her frigid eyes were locked on the possible threat, and her finger was itching to release the tense string.


    Tobias had drawn his dagger almost at the same speed Jack had. It seemed too big for his childish plump hands. He made no objection to Jack's shove, but peered out from behind her defiantly. As much as he knew he wouldn't, Tobias did his best to look as menancing as his friend did now.


    It appeared to have been an man before the ordeal. Perhaps in his mid-fifties, he'd had a gristly face. A bristly and unshaved jaw with a big crooked nose. His eyes had probably been a colbalt blue, and had a merry twinkle. He had been muscular, but had also been find of his food and drink. Now none of that mattered, the only thing that had any importance to him was flesh.

    Piper met her gaze evenly, unfazed by her camp mate's cold gaze. In fact, she even rather enjoyed it. It was good to know not everyone in the camp was unnerved by her. Staring into her eyes had been rumored as bad luck, those who had created that rumor had conveniently found their possessions scattered throughout camp the next morning.

    Piper grew bored of the staring match and swung her gaze over to the new arrival. Had it really just been yesterday when the patrol found him? There was something off about him... taking a slow advancement towards him her head tilted slightly. "So who's your godly parent?" Piper asked, her voice was crisp and factual.

    Piper's eyes narrowed slightly; as a daughter of the god of deception, she could detect lies. It was hard to tell with this one, it was close. Was that light in his eyes sincerity or guilt? "Where are you off to so quickly?" She said with perhaps a touch of amusement? Piper let her casual steps carry her in slow glides until she leaned against the frame of the door, halfway blocking the exit.

    Piper resisted the urge to trip him as a the new comer barged past her. Instead she tightened her jaw and straitened her cropped jean jacket in a smooth movement. Her silver dagger pressed at her hip temptingly, and momentarily she played with the thought of throwing it into the pillar next to Kevin. The devious mind-set was quickly removed as her hard eyes drank in the scene of the galloping Pegasus. Though she rarely rode, she knew that that particular creature had an easy going personality. Piper let her gaze heavily settle on Kevin, he was one to be watched.

    "A Pegasus." Piper corrected him, blowing a stray strand of her dark hair out of her eyes. She let her eyes follow the hoof prints of the startled beast until they were nothing but dots on the shady trail. "And I would mind where you get your 'fresh air', outside the borders of camp are not secure." Piper looked over at him with disdain, "As you have probably figured out yourself by now."

    Jack pulled back the loaded bow threateningly at the new figure's sudden movement. Her icy eyes were shielded so that no one could see the fear running behind them. It had been hard to get this far, especially with Toby. The little tramp didn't deserve this, and Jack felt a protectiveness over him. Even though they weren't related by blood, she had grown up with him. It had been a sight for sore eyes to see him alive. Unconsciously, Jack leaned to the side so that he was shielded even more so. "I said don't move!"


    Toby was secretly glad at Jack covering him. At his attempt to be brave, his knife had begun to tremble so violently that the blade was nothing but a wavering silver blur. Were the figures alive though? The thought still burned in his mind, he hoped they were... Life was so lonely without fellow humans surrounding you.


    Hungry... Oh so hungry. Dark scarlet saliva poured out between crumbling teeth. He lived for hunger, it was what drove him. Now the warm, musky scent of glorious flesh was teasing his nostrils. They flared as they bathed in the sweet human scent. Soon...

    Jack clenched the handle of the rough bow. She was trying hard to not let the murky figures sink into the shadows of the night. Their movement was seemingly crisp and alert, implying that there might just be blood flowing through their veins. On the debating side, they had not responded to her threat. It was possible that they could've heard her, but still...


    Toby saw something in the corner of his eye. Stiffening his childishly plus face, Tobias clamped his grubby fingers around Jack's shirt. "Jack..." He whispered, eyes trained on the shattered window of the house. He felt her follow his gaze and the muscles around her jaw tightened. The sharp angles of her face figited as her brow furrowed into worry. Those cool eyes remained bright and piercing, standing out against the dirt and blood smeared in streaks around her face. Her thick straight hair was pulled up into a messy ponytail, but a few loose strands were loose and frames her face. Once she would have been considered beautiful, but the hurt and harshness of the world had taken away the softness in her. It was all of this that Toby drank in now, just in case...


    Jack slowly lowered her bow, but kept an arrow knocked in the string. "Toby, take out your knife." She tried to keep her voice neutral to hide the panic in it. From the little confidence in Toby's movement to grab his dagger, she concluded that she had succeeded. Jack waited until Tobias had drawn his weapon before stepping forward. "Stay close." Was all she could relay her worry into for the little boy. He simply nodded and gave her a small yet shaky smile. Taking in a breath to calm her skipping heart, Jack slowly prowled towards the figures.


    Closssseeee.... A fleshy buffet was just through the town, the scent was overpowering... Hunger...

    Jack's eyes caught on the zombie shambling through ino the night. It was a reflex really, but her bow snapped up and the string was pulled back simultaneously. A silver tipped arrow was in the air without a second thought, and she watched as it hit the corpse with a dull thud between the eyes. Now she realized that the two people in front of her couldn't have possibly seen them. They had been facing away from Jack and Toby, one a appeared to a young girl, the other an older boy. Though relief flooded her heart that they too were not infected, she kept her eyes trained and guarded.


    Toby couldn't help it, he closed his eyes when the arrow entered the rotting skull. It never seized to bother him that every corpse had once been a person. A person who had laughter and cried and had friends and family... Maybe he had even seem them on the street! What if it was the local sweet shop keeper they had just killed? Whom had slid him free caramels under the counter. Or the grumpy elderly Mrs. Danns, whose scoldings were ever present but smile always creeping. He shook his head and opened his eyes, now coming out from behind Jack to study the new people before him.


    Closer... moist, hot, juicy, tendons, crunchy bones... mhmm... hungry.
