Red Dead Reckoning

Maddie Hart

NAME: Madeleine Hart

AGE: 23

GENDER: Female

APPEARANCE: Madeleine is a woman of short stature, standing at no more or no less than 5'3. She has naturally wavy black hair and soft, hazel eyes. The term "sun-kissed skin" might be a bit of an overstatement in terms of describing her complexion, but by no means is she pale.

OCCUPATION: Midwife and caretaker to those who are sick and can't help themselves. Occasionally dabbles in murderous activities in pursuit of her personal goals.

ASSETS:

• A pistol inherited from her father
• A stolen blade
• Rich, her loyal Arabian horse

PERSONALITY: All over the place. Sweet and caring, but vengeful and cold-hearted when certain buttons are pushed. She loves the calm and the chaos all the same, her emotions ruled by her current surroundings.

Despite her fluctuating persona, Madeleine is not sloppy nor careless. Unsurprisingly, she has a soft spot for animals, children, and the elderly and fragile, at times leading her to ignore instinct and play hero. Having been knocked down once or twice before, both literally and figuratively, Madeleine is not easy to scare, although she's wise enough to realize whenever she's been outgunned.

HISTORY: Madeleine Hart has always been one of the townies. She was born to David and Margaret Hart a year after they had her brother, Joshua. As a young girl, Madeleine was a bit of a trouble maker. Her father, a successful farmer, would at times have to give chase as she ran off to be with her animal friends. Madeleine grew up without sisters, therefore most of her free time was spent with her brother who had quite the influence on her.

When she was only 12 years old, Madeleine inconspicuously followed her brother into the fields purely out of boredom and curiosity. It was there Joshua liked to gather with his friends every once in a while and drink, or do whatever else they desired. Getting comfortable, Madeleine watched in silence as one of the boys showed the group an injured racoon, the poor thing barely conscious. When Joshua asked to see it, he started messing with the small animal, torturing it in a sense. It didn't take long for Madeleine to jump out and yell at him to stop. The other boys ran away giggling, and Joshua was left to deal with her alone. At first he was apologetic, but then slowly became defensive. Madeleine was beyond furious with him...

"Relax Maddie, we was only messin' with it."

"What do you mean 'messing with it'? Can't you tell the poor thing is in pain? You're an ignorant coward and a fool-"

"You need to watch your mouth, little sister." His expression changed as he closed the distance between them both. Madeleine could tell he was furious, and instinctively took a few steps back. Unfortunately, the young girl tripped on an old discarded rake half covered in dirt. The fall nearly knocked the wind out of her but she managed to react with urgency and grabbed a hold of the tool before standing up.

"Don't come closer!"

Joshua rolled his eyes, ignoring his sister's demand only to find out he should have listened to her. Madeleine swung the rake and the tip made contact with the side of Joshua's head. The boy was intantly knocked off his feet, his body falling to the group as if he were dead. And maybe he was. Maybe Madeleine had killed her brother. In somewhat of a shocked state, the girl ran off to find her parents. She ran faster than she'd ever done so before, her lungs burning for air but her legs carrying her all the way home.

With time, Joshua would go on to make a full recovery, although the relationship between the siblings was never the same again. Joshua went off on his travels and Madeleine stayed home to learn to be a midwife. Her mother taught her everything she needed to know, and before long both women were working together side by side.

One day, Madeleine was looking after a sick friend when the woman's brother returned. His name was Samuel Roosevelt, and Madeleine knew she was in love.

The sight of so many mindless killers present in a small space made Lili more terrified than she was before. Their numbers seemingly kept growing, while on the other hand, it was just the two of them fighting them off. And it didn't help that her partner was being a realist instead of an optimist; she could use that little bit of hope she was hanging on to.

Despite her mind telling her otherwise, Lili pushed forward into the chaos. She squared off with one of them wearing a valet uniform, or at least she assumed that's what it was. But unlike the little girl, the guy wasn't so easily overpowered. In fact, she found herself on the defensive. Lili successfully dodged a swing from the man, but the second time around she wasn't so quick and ended up with a scratch from her collarbone across to her chest. She ignored it, and since her back was practically against the wall, Lili used it to her advantage to kick away the man, sending him stumbling back. She noticed her chance to finish him off and grabbed a lamp that was on a small table against the wall. Lili brought it back and with all her might, took a swing at his head, aiming the base of the lamp to make contact with his temple. The result was a sickening crack and a limp body dropping to the ground. But that was just one of them, and when she quickly looked down, she noticed she was bleeding a little.

Hmmm, true. Very true. Okay scratch that.

@Delphio

Pun intended?

I'll post tomorrow. Don't want to flood the IC going back and forth with Eviledd.

I may be overlooking this, but does someone get infected from being scratched?

Lili took the knife that the man was handing her. "Yes, I can do that, I've used--"

The young woman's speech was cut short by a low, guttural moan a little too close behind her. She looked over her shoulder and noticed a young girl who couldn't have been older than 9 or 10 making her way towards them, and something within Lili snapped. She lunged towards the girl to close the distance between them, and when she was within reach, she shoved the knife as deep as it would go into the girl's head, inflicting the wound just above the girl's left ear.

"¡Muérete hija 'e puta!" Lili yelled in her native tongue, the rage she felt over Liam's death suddenly surfacing as she inflicted more damage by stabbing the young girl again and again. After Lili had stabbed her a third time, she forcibly pulled the knife out of the side of the girl's head and kicked her in the chest hard enough for the young girl to fall on her back. Lili didn't feel any mercy for that thing. If the girl would have been the sweet little kid she was raised to be, then Lili would have protected her to the moon and back, but she wasn't a child, or human for that matter. Not anymore. Lili's face bared no emotion as she knelt over the girl and with both hands, plunged the tip of the knife between her eyes. Lili was breathing hard by that point, but she was far from done. She pulled the knife and stood up to rejoin her partner in crime, wiping the hand that was slightly covered in blood on the side of her shirt.

"Not bad, huh? She was, uh...easy. Come on, let's go."

Tears stained her cheeks as Lili witnessed that...man devour her boyfriend's face as if he were some piece of meat. The thoughts in her head were a mess. She was certain that Liam had brought them on this trip to propose. Weeks before their flight, she had accidentally seen a text message in his cell phone. Liam had been in contact with Lili's dad and the last message he had received was "I'm sure it'll fit, she's got small hands". No one would worry that much about jewelry size unless it was a proposal ring. But Lili never read the rest of their messages for obvious reasons.

And now she would more than likely never find out.

The state of shock she was in came to an abrupt end when someone placed their hand on her and shook her. The deep voice that accompanied it made her react. She would never see Liam again, and although she wanted nothing more than to lie next to him as he took his last painful breaths, this man was right, they had to go.

Lili followed the stranger to the stairwell. He was tall, and he looked just as intimidating as his voice made him out to be. But that should play in their favor, and she felt a tinge better. Lili hurried down the steps behind the man to keep up with him. He was rushing down at a quick pace, and their height difference didn't help. Her heart was beating so hard that it could have been deafening had the noise of their footsteps not been bouncing off the walls, making their presence known to anyone that was around. Although, the further down they went, she easier it was to pick up on a different sound, one that terrified her to her core having just experienced it.

"Please tell me you can get us to the security room in one piece!"

It was late at night, and Lili was in a dark alley all by herself. She heard sirens off in the distance, or maybe an alarm of some sort. The young woman looked around, but the walls on either side seemed to stretch on for miles.

"If anyone can hear me..." The voice was sudden and unexpected, and Lili attempted to make out the words just right, "...security control room".

What did that even mean? As far as she could tell, there were no doors in that alley. No windows either. Maybe the announcement was meant for someone else, it'd only be logical. Lili started walking forward, not being too picky about which direction she went. It's not like it mattered; she'd be walking for a while anyway.

"Liliana! Wake the hell up!" This voice was much louder and clearer to understand. It was oddly familiar...

She was startled awake, only to be face to face with her boyfriend, Liam. He was ordering for her to get up and get dressed, although it took her a moment to figure out she wasn't dreaming anymore. Lili looked around the room and realized where she was, and the urgency in Liam's voice coupled with his frantic movements prompted her to get out of bed. Her heart rate picked up and adrenaline started coursing through her veins. He was usually calm and collected under pressure, so Lili knew the reason behind his behavior wasn't good.

"What's going on?" she asked him, trying not to trip over her own two feet as she pulled on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Liam gently tossed her the pair of white shoes she had on the previous night before answering her question. "It seems people have lost their bloody minds out there. They're attacking and eating each other so we need to get out of here this instant." Lili had barely slipped on the last shoe before Liam grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the door. For a moment, she wondered who in their right mind would run towards danger when they could have been perfectly fine holed up in their room, but then that bit from her dream came back to her, where a security room was mentioned. That's probably where Liam was taking her. And who's to say they'd be any safer in their room? They where practically sitting ducks.

Once outside, Lili finally understood the situation. The hallway was a scene out of a horror movie, but she did her best not to focus too much on the details, that never ended good and it would only waste time. They couple turned the corner near their room and were met with a few bodies not too far from them. Some standing, some dead, and a few others hovering over an unresponsive one. Lili gasped in shock before they turned to go the other way, but a tall man with a bloody face and idle eyes was blocking their path. In the next instant, the stranger would tackle Liam with an inhuman growl and Lily could only stand there paralyzed with fear as the man bit Liam's cheek. His screams paralyzed Lily with fear and her breath caught in her throat, making it nearly impossible to get her legs to work.
