-Olivia and Rena-

Olivia looked around them with wide eyes. She had started with just her and Mercy running off and now there was a huge group of people. She looked around, making sure they were safe for the moment. The glass doors of the store front was holding, but just barely and the undead she could see yards ahead of them did not seem to notice them. That was the only good thing about them; they were really stupid, unless you were dealing with the fast kind or the canine type. She looked at the last undead that had been killed. It had been killed by some strange girl who had been hiding up in a tree. Not only that the person the tree girl had saved was another stranger. A very odd stranger at that. What kind of clothes was she wearing?

She may be thirteen, but Olivia knew a thing or two about the world before the outbreak. This woman looked like some sort of street walker. At least her mouth covering would protect her from undead fluids. Then before she could even wrap her head around the two new people, there was two more, not to mention the guy who had been with the woman and the man they freed from in the store.

Olivia stepped closer to Mercy, putting her hand on top of hers. She felt a vibe from this new couple; they were not to be taken lightly. The man wearing metal knuckle gloves actually scared her. The one who had spoken did not seem that bad, but there was something about him as well. The only thing that was for sure was that they were related. They looked like brothers, but the smaller one had a more gentle look about his face. The larger one looked harsh, cold. His eyes were void of emotion or so it seemed. 

"Uh... Mercy's right," Olivia said, not sure the new people had heard her. "We should go quickly. Those undead are going to notice us soon."

"Plus there is a horde of them over by the houses," one of the new girls added. "I'm Rena by the way." Rena pointed up at the tree. "I saw everything from up there. The street over by the houses are filled with undead, with at least 3 fast ones."

"W-what about the others....?"

"I saw a man and a woman running into a house, they collided with another man. Older guy. There was also a Hispanic girl, but she shot herself after being surrounded," Rena interrupted, having a good guess at what the little girl was going to say. "Our chances of getting back to them are really slim. That horde will be here soon and those lazy undead over there will follow them." That was how the undead worked. Something had caused the undead to come together and storm the town. 

It had most likely been the gunshots from before. That was why shooting was a last resort.

"No time for pleasantries," Rena yelled, pushing on Blue and pointing down the road. The horde was a lot faster than she had expected. "Go. Go. Go." She grabbed Blue's hand out of instinct and pulled on her. 

"The forest," the man from inside the store yelled. "That way," he pointed left of them away from the crazed horde. "The path is clear."

Were they escaping the frying pan only to land in fire?
