Nothing else mattered at this moment but protection, survival, even if it meant forfeiting a life she might otherwise save. These words? Nonsense, really. Recited poetry. Regurgitated creed. Little and less. Long since lost and bereft of definition. [i]Save who you can. Slay who is damned.[/i] An old friend had taught her, and Charley had wandered this dead earth as its daughter who defied the birth of its curse. [i] Words. Words are wind.[/i] [color=fff200]“So you say…” [/color]Charley responded to ‘no infected’. Alas, she had heard those words before, only for infected to almost get her killed moments later. A name came the next moment. [i]Quinn Finch.[/i] Obviously she did not recognize it. Didn’t much care for a 25th fucking birthday either. [i]Leg. Friend. Fever.[/i] Charley pursed her lips, determining a decision as much as her position in these circumstances. She was not so callous as to abandon someone who genuinely needed help and would not hurt her in turn. [i]Hell, might just help me. We'll see.[/i] She debated the situation as the tarp opened just then. Training her weapon, finger on the trigger of a rifle not to be trifled with, another woman came into view, though no telling if infected. [color=fff200]“Dollar,”[/color] Charley offered across the distance.[color=fff200] “That’s my horse’s name.”[/color] She ruffled his mane. [color=fff200]“Good boy. What about you?”[/color] Rifle aimed. [color=fff200]“You a good girl or you gonna make me wish I left this world and hell by shooting myself?” [/color] @Atrocious
