Stand Alone(Summers and AHeartlessNobody)

This was her first time coming face to face with one of these aliens. Sure, she had seen their ship so many years ago. But the moment it landed her mother had taken her away to their home and hid her. She had heard the aliens come in and kill her parents. But, she had never seen one. They looked more like humans than she thought they would. Minus his glowing violet eyes that was. Still, whether he looked human or not, he was in no way close to a human that was for sure. He had been able to catch up with her too easily. She had never met another person to be able to keep up when she ran so for this alien to do so was quite an annoyance and frustration.

She had swung her pole and for a moment she thought she might at least be able to hit him, but that hope was gone quickly as the alien intercepted her swing to jerk the pole from her and fling it away to the other side of the roof. Well, so much for that last attempt to defend herself. She went to move away, maybe even make another run for it, but quicker than she woudl have thought the alien reached out, grasping hr wrist and pulling her forward to stand closer than was comfortable to him, his gun pressed against her side. If it was gong to shoot her she just hoped it would make her death quick. But than again, these aliens were never known for being merciful and her hoping thus far hadn't done her much good.

Cassie looked up at him when he spoke, asking her if that was all she had and she glared at him with her bright blue(or what she considered blue anyway) eyes. At this point she tried to jerk her wrist away, even clawing at his hand with the nails of her free hand, but she didn't have much luck in getting free. He spoke to her again and she winced when his grip on her wrist tightened, him asking her how many more humans were left.

None. That was the real answer. She was the last human on this planet, and as soon as he killed her there really would be no humans left on the planet. But, she didn't want to let him know that. She didn't want to give him that satisfaction. She didn't want him killing her and then walking away smug knowing he had just single handedly taken out the remaining of Earth's population. So when he asked how many were left, she returned her gaze back to him and with a defiant look on her face, she spoke with venom in her voice, her hatred for not only this alien, but all the aliens, in her gaze.

"Hundreds. There are too many of us to count. We're everywhere, so you better watch your back because killing me will be nothing compared to all the actually trained humans on this planet. They'll kill you and all the other aliens that land on this planet." That was a huge bluff. But, with these aliens just now landing here for the first time in years, they had no reason to doubt what she was saying. After all, why were they sending in all of these armed aliens to take just little ol' her out if they really thought there weren't other humans on this planet. Her defiant gaze stayed locked on his, waiting for either his response or for him to kill her.

Hey, I have an idea. What is none of the aliens have blonde hair? Like thats something only humans can have? That could be another different that sticks out as she has blonde hair.

(the city)

Stand Alone(Summers and AHeartlessNobody)

A few hours had passed since she had spotted that ship coming down from the skies and yet she had yet to hear anything outside of the plane. Why was it the silence outside worried her more than hearing those beasts outside her plane would have? Maybe it was the not knowing. Being unsure of what was going on was something she wasn't used to and it made her feel so weak. Very slowly, Castiel sat up from where she lay on the bed and moved from the end of the plane to the side door, reaching up on her tip toes to sneak a peak out of it. Nothing. Maybe the aliens hadn't come her way yet then? Maybe this city was still safe to travel? It was possible. After all, they may have had a lot of ground to cover and had overlooked the city they had landed next to. Whatever the reason they weren't near by though, she needed to take advantage of this and gather more supplies and weapons. Who knew ow long she might be cooped up in this place when they finally did start searching her area. She needed to be prepared when that happened.

Nodding to herself once she had that in mind, she rushed over to grab her backpack, throwing it onto her back. Pushing open the heavy metal door for the second time that day(which was more than she had in months), she quickly made her way down the runway and climbed to the top of the fence. Once at the top, she scouted the area, looking around with wary eyes for anything that might seem suspicious. Once again spotting none of the aliens, she hopped down to the other side of the fence, landing gracefully before she continued to move toward the city, "So far so good..." She moved into the thicket of the city, first moving to go to the supplies store, hoping to grab mainly water bottles for now and just a little bit of food. Food she could ration and find easily, water though was something she couldn't go without.

As she headed toward the food store though, she saw something she didn't expect to see. Approaching the creature laying on the ground, she slowly crouched to look at it. Dead animals was nothing new. Animals died all the time of either starvation or of being eaten by other animals But this dog looked at least fed enough to not have starved and there was no blood to show he had been attacked by another animal, "What happened to you....?" She spoke, mainly to herself, raising to her feet. Maybe coming here wasn't such a good idea. She needed to get her rations and leave.

Quickly rising to her feet, she moved to the food store right up the street and went around back. This particular store she had found years ago and while there was no windows to break and both doors were locked. There was a place there that had a metal door to which the food used to be brought in and though the metal door was down and barred, she had learned years ago that she could pry a small corner of the metal door up big enough for her to crawl through. She smirked to herself as she approached it, doing just that, prying the door up and when she had crawled through it slammed back into place. She crawled into the dark and dusty storage room, making her way from there and into the main market section of the store where she set her bag down before going to her gathering.

She put water bottle after water bottle in her bag, stacking and fixing them so she could fit as much as she could in there as possible. She hummed softly to herself as she did so, though it was as she did this that she hear the very familiar sound of the metal door she herself had come through. Someone was pulling back the corner she had pulled back to get into the store, and whoever this was, she didn't want to meet them, for she knew this person was likely one of them. An alien. Her heart beat fast in her chest and she could feel her panic rising as she crouched there next to her bag full of waters. What could she do? If she ran surely she woudl run into them on her way back to the storage room. What if she hid? Would they find her? Maybe, but it was worth a try.

Hastily zipping up her bag, she put the strap over one of her shoulders and crawled to the end of the isle, peaking around the edge of the shelves to see a silhouette with glowing eyes enter into the dark store. Cassie was frozen with fear for a moment but she was quick to get a hold of herself and back back down the isle, and move toward the other end of the store, where many of the outdoor supplies where. There she saw some fairly sturdy looking shelves. She was light and maybe if she climbed up to the top and surrounded herself was some of the items up there she could hide well enough for him to not find her.

So she went to that, silently climbing up the shelves until she at least six shelves up and had climbed up to where many heavy boxes were stored. She was right, it was a fairly good hiding spot, if not for the slight swaying of the shelf at her movement. She noticed this and did her best to stay still. As long as she was still, the shelf held her weight and she was safe. She stayed up there like that for a few long moments, until she heard the footsteps of the alien approaching the outdoors section. Now, Cassie had always been a curious person and unfortunately, that curious attitude was what always got her in trouble because, as she moved slightly to lean forward and peak between the boxed down at the alien, who in her moment of peaking down she saw was a young man, the shelf began to once again teeter and this time she couldn't stabilize it in time, "No, no, no--" She screamed out in surprise as the shelf fell over and she tumbled roughly onto the ground with a pained yelp.

Still, even though that hurt, she was quick to get into a crouched position, looking up at the alien, eyes wide with fear. That didn't last but a second though, because soon she was scrambling to her feet and running back toward the storage room. She had made it to the entrance when she felt him not too far behind her. In a attempt to slow him down she at first threw her bag back at him in hopes it woudl either hit him or he woudl trip over it and after that, she began knocking over box after box to block his way, swiftly making her way through the scattered mess and to her metal door. She crawled through and the corner slammed down in the aliens face, giving her more time in her run.

Cassie knew this city very well. After all, she had been living near here for four years and that was an advantage to her because this alien chasing her didn't. Yet, he seemed to be doing very way at catching up to her which was why she was throwing things back at him and in his path every chance she got. She moved form the streets to the alley ways, turning corner after corner, hoping to throw him off, but so far it wasn't working very well. Turning another corner she moved to quickly pull on something on the side of one of the buildings, the ladder sliding down with a rough tug at the rusted metal and she climbed swiftly up, to the roof of on of the buildings. Still, even when she was up, she could hear the metal of the ladder shaking as the alien began climbing up as well.

She cursed and started running again, jumping down the one of the other roofs and doing the same across some of the other roofs as well. She was doing well at this at first, that was, until she made it to a roof that was impossible for her to jump to without falling off. pinning around wide eyed, her golden blonde hair blowing in the harsh winds of the rooftops, she saw the alien approaching the roof top she was on and she went to reach for her pistol, only to grow even more scared. In her tumbling about her pistol had dropped from her pocket and was no longer there. Now, she was left defenseless against this alien that was likely out to kill her or do what ever it was these aliens wanted to do with the humans for all she knew.

In a last attempt to protect herself she grabbed a nearby thin metal pole, holding it tightly in her shaking hands as the alien finally made it to her roof and she was quick to take a swing in his direction. She knew she wouldn't be able to fight him off but at least she wasn't about to go down without a fight. She took another swing with the pole hoping to hit him, "Get away from me!"

All I Want For Christmas

Sorry my post is short XP I have major writing block(with everything, not just ours). Sigh. Maybe its just the holidays or the rain at my house? IDK XD

All I Want For Christmas

Things were going really slow today at the toy store, something that was surprising considering how close it was to Christmas and how parents would normally be flocking tot he store to get their children gifts by now. But then again, the day was early and most adults were at work while their kid was with a babysitter or at daycare. Still, it left Samantha bored out of her mind and wishing she had something, anything, to do during these not so busy hours of the day. Maybe she could blow up some balloons? Or maybe put on display(or in other words; test out) one of those really cool looking gaming systems she had in the back. That actually sounded really fun now that she thought about it. And so, with a grin on her face, she moved to the back of the store, going through the systems.

She went through a few of them whens he finally decided on the 3DS, bringing it up front and trying to figure out how to build the display stand the company had given her to keep people from stealing the sample product. She had sat down and worked on it for at least two hours before she finally had it up and ready to go, nodding to herself with a smile, "Okay, let's see how this thing works." She turned the thing on and saw that on the game was already a preloaded version of the Super Smash Bros for the system and smiled brightly now. he picked that game and began playing, getting really into all the fighting and such when her cell-phone in her pocket rang.

She cursed silently because that momentary distraction got her killed on the game and she sighed heavily, pausing it and looking at her cellphone. She had two cellphones(one was her personal hone and the other was the 'store phone' that she used for business matters. This time it was the store phone ringing and she answered it, hearing a voice on the other line ask if this was the toy store. She nodded and answered back to the woman on the other line, "Yes it is. We're open from eight in the morning until seven in the evening. What can I do for you?"

Stand Alone(Summers and AHeartlessNobody)

It seemed like forever since the world had turned into this wasteland. The streets were often empty and quiet during dawn and sunset. That was usually what Cassie called 'the in-between time'. The animals that ran around and hunted anything they could eat were kind of like humans in some ways, in terms of they slept. And like human they had different sleep schedules, some sleeping during the day and others sleeping during the night. Usually during sun rise and sun set, they were all either getting ready to sleep or just waking up, meaning not many of them were out on the streets, giving Cassie a moment of having less risk in moving about outside of her makeshift home. If she was quick enough, sometimes she would be able to go out without running into any starving animals wanting to eat her.

And right now, that was what she was trying to achieve. She watched outside of the plane's window as the sky took on an orange tint, meaning it was time to head out. She threw her bookbag onto her back and pushed down as hard as she could on the heavily sealed plane door. If one thing was good, it was the safety this plane provided her. If she had a hard time opening that door, then it would be impossible for those animals to break it down. Once she had it open, she pushing it closed and rushed down the runway, toward the tall gate. She scaled it pretty easily and was on the ground in a flash, running once more.

There were plenty of stores in this area, she found, that still had a lot of supplies in them. She guessed it was because this was a big city. Back when the virus had first started spreading, everyone fled the cities, thinking staying there would make it spread faster. They had all moved to the country or left the nation all together, leaving all these stores abandoned and quite easy to break into. She stood in front of one of the windows and was quick to pick up a rock and bust it out, stepping into the store. Once in, she immediately opened her bag an began to throw anything she needed in there, mainly water and food. Stocking up the way she did usually lasted her a couple of weeks, so this would be her only raid for a while, making the risk of actually going through some of the items in the store worth it.

Once she had her bag filled as much as possible, she hopped out of the window one more and started running again down the street. It was only when she turned a sharp corner that she came face to face a rather large and growling dog. Wild dog gave a snap right in her face(if it weren't for her jumping back it might have even taken a chunk out of her) and tried to jump at her, to which she dodged with a yelp and started running the other way. She had learned that animals like this tended to travel and packs and she didn't wan to stick around to see if this particular dog did. She was pretty fast moving, faster than any human she had ever known. Even her uncle praised her for it, and he hadn't given many compliments to people in his life time. Her speed was always giving her the advantage. That was, if she hadn't turned another corner and come face to face with wild dog. Soon, she was surrounded by them, all the animals snapping and growling. They seemed more aggressive than the animals normally were. Even as she took out her pistol, which usually sent them running, they still continued to try and size her up and look for an opening. And soon she found out what might be making them so aggressive.

There was a loud noise that made her cover her ears at first and made the dogs stop their advances to look up at the sound that had been causing their aggitation. And then, something strange happened. It was almost as though the animals feared this thing, because they began to whimper and ignore her presence and skitter off into the nearby buildings, as if hiding. She stood there, looking up at the sky, squinting to see what it was, only for her eyes to go wide with fear. Up in the sky, coming down to land, was a type of ship she remembered well and it was a horrifying memory. The last time she had saw that type of ship land here on earth, a day later she had lost her parents.

The aliens.

In an instant she was running, heading back as fast as she could for her airport, scaling the fence and making it back into her plane even faster than she had left. She pushed down on the plane lock as hard as she could, letting it airlock before she took a moment to sit in on of the seats and catch her breath. Cassie had no idea what she was going to do. She was the last human alive as far as she knew, and if those aliens were back, who knew what they would do to her? Kill her? Experiment on her? Keep her as some pet? The threats were endless and so were her fears.

After a moment of being glued to her seat, she shakily stood to her feet and began to put her supplies on the shelves above the many seats of the plane, where other supplies had been stacked. Once they were stacked, she moved to the back of the plane were her make shift bed, a bed she had made from unscrewing seats from the floor and stacked the cushions, was and layed down on it, expecting to sleep, though found herself wide awake and ears listening for any signs of what the aliens might be doing, and more importantly if they were coming close to the abandoned airport she had claimed as her home.
