Krystyn shakes her head," Nah I'm not but thanks for the offer," She says leaning on her heals," I'll walk ahead keep buddy with ya an' if ya need anythang holler," Krystyn says walking ahead her bat ready. Sher looked at the different stores, Listing them off in her head.
Jewelry not useful, maybe if a couple survives this damned thing long enough. Oh, a Walgreen yes! Medicine!. she stopped dead in her tracks a large smile crept onto Krystyns face making her look half crazy. Infront of her there was a store and not just any store, it was an outdoors man store. Any out doors man store has weapons, Krystyn backed up and ran as fast as she could towards where she left the others.

Justine walked slowly with the dog trotting by her side. With Krystyn out of earshot, she began to talk to the dog softly.
"You're a good baby aren't you? I bet you love her don't you? You protect her. She's a good girl."
She saw Krystyn standing still and looking at something intensely. As she rounded the corner, she discovered that it was a Sportsman's Warehouse. That meant weapons, and LOTS of them.
Justine looked at Krystyn with a naughty smile on her face, chuckled and said "You thinking what I'm thinking?

Buddy let out a yip wagging his tail at Justine but his attention turned to his master as she came walking over.

Krystyn lets a smile slip onto her face,"oh hell yes," she says she lets out a low whistle and Buddy ran over to her as she began walking back. Krystyn stops and looks back at Justine," We're gonna need ta clear it out a'ight?"

Justine looked on at the giant building and thought about all the valuable weapons inside it. She certainly hoped there wasn't already people in there that had the same idea a little earlier than they had. If that was the case, they were in for a fight, which Justine didn't want. She was not in the mood for a fight right now.
She looked down and Buddy was sniffing around as if he smelled something really important. Justine crouched down and saw blood on the ground. She lifted her eyes and saw a trail of blood leading to behind another building. Justine looked up at Krystyn with a concerned look on her face and said, "I have a bad feeling about this. Why don't you scope out the building and I'll meet up with you in a minute? Can Buddy stay with me in case something happens?"

Hunter was smart, he knew what to do when in many situations. Though some may mistake him being smart for cowardice, which may also be true but he was the one alive, and he was the one with a twelve gauge in his hands. Though he had to admit his choices in guns were limited, though he was grateful he had them. The one in his hands was his dad's old pump action, even though a pump action was nice it only took smaller twelve gauge, meaning it was a lot more limited in terms of ammo and stopping power. And it wasn't all that accurate either. But the ammo capacity and the stopping power it had were his best options for looting.

Today Hunter needed ammo, he couldn't shoot guns with out it. Even though he had a decent amount in his truck he had a few problems with it. One, many rounds were too big for the pump action, two, Many were training loads. Training loads sucked. No real stopping power, no real range, nothing of value other then they are really damn cheap. It seems everyone else thought the same thing.

As Hunter went through the firearm's section of the sporting goods store the big thing he noticed is that most if not all the guns were gone, all the decent ammo was gone, and much of everything else was useless to him. Though he did find some ammunition he could use. He packed that into a duffel bag. He soon stood up when he heard a rustling. He knew it was more then likely one of two things, people, or the dead. Either way he wasn't ready to deal with that. He threw the bag over his shoulder and grabbed the shotgun with one hand as he ran to the front door.

Krystyn nods sending Buddy with the girl as she started opening the door before she stopped and called ," Yell or have Buddy bark 'ight? See ya on the other side," Krystyn says before entering the store her baseball bag ready,"Come on over ya fuckers," she says loudly closing the door," oh no walkers? Damn shame," she mutters

Justine followed the trail of blood in worry, Buddy trotting along behind her completely oblivious as to what was happening. She hoped this dog would be of some use to her if she got attacked by someone or something. The trail led her behind a rather run down brick building and she was terrified of what she saw when she rounded the corner. A horde of about 20 walkers tearing into the flesh of some human. Who, she could not tell but she sure as hell didn't wanna know. She ducked back around the other corner praying to God they didn't see or smell her.
She had hoped when she started following the trail that she would find one of her friends. Even if they were injured, it would be better than never finding them at all. She was just about to make a run back towards the sporting store when she heard a hiss from a couple feet away and Buddy's growl. She looked over her shoulder and found a walker coming her way. Before she could tell him no, Buddy lunged at it and latched onto it's leg. Justine screamed and grabbed the bandanna around his neck to pull him away and took off running calling him after her. She ran as fast as she could towards the store, which she was thankful was not very far away.
As she burst through the doors she yelled as loud as she could "Krystyn?! We have a problem!!" With no response, she called after Buddy to follow her as she ran towards the firearm department. She hadn't ran more than 20 feet when she slammed into a boy holding a 20 gauge shotgun and sprawled across the floor at his feet.
Now she had even bigger problems. Walkers were one thing but a human was another. He could shoot her whenever he wanted or let her live. it was completely up to him. Buddy began growling and the fur on his back stood up. She looked at this boy with terror in her eyes and hoped that he had the heart to let her go.

Hunter held his dad's twelve gauge in his hands, even as he went down his hands went for the gun instead of the bag over his shoulder when he fell. Walker? Was he so reckless as to run into a walker?! But no, when he was able to get sight on what he ran into he knew it was no walker. It was a living person! And he still had the shotgun in his hands.

Hunter stood up and took aim with the gun locked on the girl's head. He was speechless, he was scared, his heart was racing, he had to make a choice. It didn't take him long to realize there was two of them. Two of them! He wasn't sure if the other girl had noticed him yet but he had, and he wanted to make it clear he was in control. But he had lost the ability to speak. So he just moved the sights of the shotgun to the other girl, then rethinking the fact that the first one was closer he pointed it at her, but what if the second girl was armed? he turned it back to her. But what if she wasn't? These thoughts went through Hunter's head for a solid five seconds before he saw what was behind them. The dead.

"Dammit..." The first time he had spoken with other people around for days. He untrained the gun from the two and took aim at the walkers entering the store. *BOOM!* The twelve gauge screamed as he fired at the closest one. The pheasant shot ripping the torso to pieces as it flew back. "Run dammit!" He screamed at them as he ran for the back. Out back was his truck, it was still fueled and he still had the keys. The question was if he could trust them?

Justine's entire body was charging full of adrenaline more than it ever had before. She called after Buddy to follow her as she hauled ass behind the boy with the shotgun. She couldn't be thankful enough that this boy actually wanted to help them. Well maybe "wanted" was a strong word but he at least he cared enough to yell after them that they could follow him. She seriously hoped Krystyn was following her. She looked behind her in desperation but didn't see Krystyn anywhere.
As she ran, she prepared herself to jump in the back of this boy's truck and not kill herself in the process. Buddy of course made the jump no problem. After she very clumsily made it in, the pounded on the back window of the boy'd truck and yelled at him asking if he could wait a minute for her friend. The walkers were still a while away and were not going anywhere fast. As long as they were quiet they shouldn't be noticed. She hoped the boy would understand and wait for a minute. . .
She also hoped that Krystyn would find her, and hurry up about it too.

[Aintitfun1997]

Krystyn kicked a walker off her as she was grabbing a rifle and some ammo. She had a re-curve bow with a quiver full of arrows along with a shot gun. After seeing the other three run off she takes her new machete and slice a head of a walker off blood splattering all over her.
" Back the fuck up!" she whispers as she pushes it into the horde. Making a run for it pushing and kicking walkers away from her. Krystyn soon makes it out the door shutting it behind her and sliced a walkers head off. Sighing when she sees Justine and Buddy are okay she jumped into the back of the truck,"DRIVE!!" She yelled as she kicked a walker away as they started moving.

[Shoe Thief]

Hunter jumped into the driver seat of his old pickup truck. First thing he did was throw the pump action into the passenger seat. He soon noticed that those new people he was trusting sat in the back of this truck, where he kept the .22 rifle. Loaded and ready to fire. Trust, that's what he had to tell himself, Trust. Hunter could see more walkers coming in near the truck. The first girl was still asking him to wait before leaving. "We need to go now! We're running out of time!" Almost as soon as he said it the other girl ran out of the store, she jumped in telling Hunter to go. "Fine! Fine! Hold on!" He screamed back.

Hunter attempted to start the truck, the first attempt the old thing just stalled on him. "Shit..." The walkers started closing in on them. He attempted to start again, this time it started with the what seemed to be the entire engine running rust and loos parts, it popping and grinding with every action. But it was running now.

Hunter kicked the truck into drive and sped out of the parking lot and into the street. Infected everywhere. Why the hell did he fire that damn gun. That damn gun was the loudest thing he owned and he decided to use that instead of that damn .22 rifle. But that didn't matter now, now all that mattered was getting out alive. He drove the truck out of town as far as it would go. Though he wasn't sure where to go. If he went back to his place these two would know where he lives now, but he didn't know where else to go. So once at a safe distance he pulled over. Then stepped out of the truck with the shotgun held in one hand. "So? You two want to go anywhere specific?"

[Aintitfun1997]

Krystyn looks at the boy and watches him for a moment before responding," Well first mind tellin' us yer name first? I'm Krystyn, T'is pup," Krystyn gestures to Buddy who was looking at the guy with curiosity," Is Buddy he seems ta like ya," She says," This is Justine," She says pointing a thumb at the other girl," An' we were on our way ta find 'er friend," Krystyn says watching him and his body language.
Knowing from Tv shows, Video games, and comics it is a big rule to watch anyone new or else you'll get stabbed in the back. Now Krystyn is guessing by how this guy is like that he won't do that but she knows that people can be deceiving.

Justine wasn't sure if she wanted anything to do with this boy. Two is a team but as far as she was concerned, three was a crowd. Not to mention that this boy looked like he was ready to shoot them both at any second. She wanted to find her best friend more than anything but now they were miles out of town and this idiot had attracted a giant horde of walkers directly around the area Justine had made her safe zone. Great.
"Where would you be going exactly? Maybe we could. . . Tag long? At least until we could come up with a plan on our own? She looked at Krystyn wonderingly and tried to read her facial expressions but as usual, there was none. She looked around and found Buddy nosing around in the dirt. He was so intrigued by all the new smells around him. She suddenly realized how thirsty she was and desperately reached into her backpack for a bottle of water and threw one to Krystyn as well. Trying to calm her nerves, she pulled down the tailgate of the boy's truck and sat down. Buddy jumped up next to her.

@Aintitfun1997@Alina13

Well... Now they were asking about him. Krystyn was one, she was the one asking about names. She pointed out the dog, Buddy, and her friend Justine. "Hunter." He was trying to act decent, though he was still skeptical about being around new people. Even more so now that the world was just taken a turn for the worst. At least in some people's minds.

Justine asked him about going to his place to sort out the thoughts they had. Or at least to help plan their next move. Hunter could turn them down, leave them out here and forget he ever saw them again. He still had the shotgun in his hands, it could work. He was tempted to as well, but something stopped him before he made a move for the gun. "Give me a few moments to let me see what's causing the grinding in the engine then why not!" He said as he threw his hands into the air. "I have to pee too, so if you want to pee with in the next twenty minutes to forty minutes do it now." Hunter put the shotgun back in the passenger seat, then he proceeded to grab his duffel bag from the back of the truck as well. Revealing the .22 rifle in the back. Which he soon grabbed as well.

Hunter went to the side of the road, did his business, then went to the truck's engine attempting to figure out why it wasn't working right. Like usual. He kept the .22 on his back in case there was trouble. It was the only one of his guns with a sling and it was light weight, so why not? Though the gun didn't matter once he realized he has no idea what is wrong with the engine. It was grinding before but not as bad as now. And Hunter wasn't experienced enough to determine what was wrong. Though if need be it would still drive.

[Aintitfun1997]

Krystyn takes a few gulps before moving to the other two she pulled Buddy over to her and allowed him to have a few licks of water she had. After doing so she looked at Hunter seeing him in front of the truck trying to fix it letting out a huff she hops out of the back and looks at Justine," Might wanna go check," She said before looking at Buddy," C'mon Bud," She says walking to Hunter.
Krystyn gets to him the machete from earlier in hand," What's wrong wit' the truck?" She asked leaning against the truck looking down at the engine.

Buddy pads past the two sniffing around all the new scents but one made the dog stop in his tracks. Blood and lots of it. From the looks its fresh too about an hour or so stale? Buddy looks up starring into the forest looking for any human movement. He felt something bad is about to happen and he didn't like it

Justine suddenly felt as if someone had blown a breath of cold air on her neck. Maybe they should get out of here, and quickly too. She also then realized that she was the only one who didn't grab a weapon. She hadn't had time to grab anything before she ran smack dab into Hunter and fled the premises. She hopped off the tailgate and approached Hunter and Krystyn as they tried to figure out what was wrong with the truck.
"Exactly how much did you grab Krystyn? Is there something I could use? Maybe that bow and arrow?
She watched Hunter as he fiddled around with some stuff under the hood of his truck. As she looked at the truck, she wasn't surprised that it broke down. It didn't look like it would take them very far anyway. Frankly, it sort of looked like a death trap but if it was the only way they could get away from these. . . things, she would be happy with it.

[Shoe Thief]

So Hunter was in a situation where he could be honest about not having a clue about what is wrong, or he could imply that is was just really screwed up. "The truck in basics is a piece of crap, it's old, it's been owned by at least 4 different people, maybe more, and was in need of repairs before everything went wrong. It will drive but it may break down if we push it to hard. SO in basics no long trips, and going up hill may be a problem if it is too steep. And going to fast or to many sharp turns will screw us over. Brakes seem fine as far as I can tell though." He looked through the engine, yes he wasn't a mechanic but he could tell it was pretty bad. Justine soon asked about a weapon she could use. Hunter had two guns with him now, the .22 on his back, and the twelve gauge that was on the passenger seat. He still didn't know how much he could trust them.

Hunter closed the hood of the truck. "Look, we'll head to my camp, we'll rest for a bit. Then if you want after that I will give you a ride to help you find your friend, sound good?" He said as he worked his way to the driver door. "Because truthfully I don't like the idea of sitting on the side of the road with a truck that may or may not start."

[Aintitfun1997]

Krystyn looks at Justine," I was able ta snag a cross bow, a couple machetes, a few shot guns an' a huntin' rifle but t'is bow is mine," She says with a smirk," Try it out when we're not in danger," She says walking away to hunter.

"Hunter do ya have any silent weapons? Cause if ya don'," She holds out the machete," 'ere, don' need ya gettin' killed," Krystyn says smirking at him.

Buddy pads closer sniffing his ears pricked the air picked up making his way towards the blood and stopped when he heard crying slowly making his way around the tree he finds a girl sitting there crying half eaten. Buddy whimpers running away towards his master. Loud whimpers and whines sounding from the young German Shepard mouth catching his masters attention.
Krystyn runs over to her obviously distressed pup petting his head," 'Ey it a'ight Bud," She said picking him up and walking towards the car ignoring the yells of pain that fallowed a minute later. Buddy curls more into Krystyn trying to ignore the cries.
"Lets go," She says hearing the growls.

[Alina13]

@Aintitfun1997@Remipa Awesome
"That sounds good Hunter. I have absolutely no idea where she is though. Her house back the way we came but I don't think either one of you would be willing to go back towards that horde to look for a girl you don't even know. If you guys want, I could go by myself and come back to the camp after I find her or give up looking. I would obviously want to take a weapon with me.
Justine was tempted to go look around the bend of the tree but she was horrified of the noises that were coming from that direction. She really hoped that Buddy wasn't planning on eating that poor girl. . .

[Aintitfun1997]

"Hell no," Krystyn said putting a shivering Buddy into the trunk and giving him a piece of jerky. Krystyn looks at Justine," That's jus' death waitin' ta happen last thang I need is havin' the fact I let ya go alone," She says before looking at Hunter ," an' if ya have a problem with it speak now," Krystyn said. To be honest Krystyn would prefer 2 more people , three living things counting Buddy, but shes not going to bring someone who'd just come cause he was forced too, only because that just leads to worst situations and more death.
