It just seemed too good to be true that there was an entire place that was safe from the crazies. One would think she would have heard rumors about the place before but she had been completely caught guard when those soldiers found her in the woods. If only they had gotten there soon then maybe Orion...She shook her head sharply. No, don't go there. There will be no if's or maybe's. What happened happened and there was no use fretting about the past. Her brother was dead and she wasn't doing him any good moping around speculating would [i]could[/i] have happened. Orion would want her to live and that's exactly what she was going to do; she was going to live for her brother and for Willow and her parents. She was alone now and she best accept that fact now. The little girl lifted her head up from her knees and scanned around her fellow survivors. She honestly shocked at how many there were and was a little uneasy after her run-in with the trigger happy man that shot her brother. He had been the first sane person they had encountered in a while and look what happened. Then again. What was sanity anymore? Everyone had to be a little bit crazy in order to function in the world they lived in. The weak died. Simple as that. Ember had to become stronger or else she would meet the same fate as her family. Her attention was grabbed by a man shouting out two names, presumably his family. She just hoped they were actually here and not dead. A sudden thud drew her from her examination of the man and drew her gaze to the soldier that had been patrolling overhead. Why...Why was he on the ground? Had he fallen? Pushed? Was he dead? [color=lightblue]"Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeees and gentlemen! Thank you for visiting the Rig, we hope to see you again soon. WOOP WOOP!"[/color] Ember jerked in surprise as the man's voice boomed up on the walkway and her gaze shot up to him and zeroed in on the two green objects he held. It took her brain a second to register what they were but once it did Ember was leaping to her feet though she didn't really know she could from down there. The solider! He still had his weapons! She whirled but the man she had noticed earlier apparently had the same idea and snatched up the rifle and shot a few rounds at the infected man above them. The aim could be improved but it got the job done as the crazed man slumped against the wall. Ember let out a soft breath, hoping it was over for now. [color=lightgreen]"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'S JOHNNNNNNNNNNNY!!!!!!!!"[/color] Oh God what now?! Ember took in the gun that began peppering people full of holes and let out an involuntary scream. The room erupted into chaos with people shoving each to get out of the line of sight and even some dragging people in front of them to use as shields. Ember's small body got slammed against the wall she had been resting against by the crush of bodies, her head bouncing off the surface. She slumped there, the world spinning around her. It was then that a man got a bullet to the brain and fell on top of her when she tried to woozily climb to her feet. She let out a small cry as the dead weight sent her slamming towards the floor, all the air being expelled from her lungs. She lay there, gasping as she tried to catch her breath. Something warm and sticky was seeping into the back of her shirt and she shuddered at the feeling, whimpering as she tried to wiggle out from the slightly obese man but unable to move an inch. She squeezed her eyes closed and prayed this would all be over soon.[/center]
