COLLABORATION with
@Aerandir JASON HUNTER and NIKKI HYATT
Nikki heard the walker coming up behind her but she had her sword in motion another way at the moment and while she swung around to get it but the corpse fell to the ground. She glanced around quickly for more walkers and pulled out her gun just n case. She ushered the last of the others down the road. Ethan was just ahead of her and Walter and the others were ahead of them. Nikki was usually the first in and the last man out of any situation because of all of her training.
Jason waited for a moment to look for more walkers as the group started to move down the road. Nothing too close for now, and he should really conserve his ammo just in case. Lowering his weapon he gripped the branch below him and slowly swung down, his movements slow and calculated as it wouldn't shake the branches and alert any walkers. He looked below him and around incase he missed a walker and let go, landing softly with a forward roll. With one hand on his weapon to keep it from moving he crouched and made his way around the group and from behind, closing up on the girl with dirty blonde or brunette hair. His real reason though was to make it to the kid who had been bitten and was left behind.
Feeling his stomach drop at seeing how young he was he pulled his K-bar knife out and quickly emplanted it into his ear and brain. Making sure the kid would not come back as a walker. He quickly moved away. The redhead was still driving her truck around creating a distraction on her own, and he didn't want to get caught up in that.
So he moved forward quickly and eerily silently to the girl with the sword and gun in her hand. A walker suddenly moved within a car, just as she was moving past it. On reflex he stood and threw his combat knife at the walker, the long black blade made a sickening crunch as the blade passed through the skull and into the brain.
Nikki heard something and she turned around and pointed her gun at him.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Nikki glanced at the others and knew she was alone. This guy looked like he was military. She glanced behind him looking for others like him that might endanger them. Seeing none of them she still knew he was probably the only person she had met in two years who could match her skills in fighting and she was sure that he had more skills in shooting a gun than she did.
Jason quickly ducked behind a truck as she glanced around to look for anyone...sadly no one was there... not that she would find them anyway, Seals were meant to work in the shaddows, he didn't fear her so that is why he allowed her to see him. But with a gun aimed at him it would be foolish to stand there.
"What a way to thank the man who saved your life.. twice." He said with his head peaking around the corner of the box truck,
"We were only trying to help, you guys are free to go, just trying to provide cover." He fingered his rifle's trigger just in case, not that she saw that as most of his body was behind the truck.
"What's a bunch of kids doing on their own? Where did you come from?" He asked, He always said kids though they were probably five years younger than him....but when you've been in the military and situations like he has, kids were what they were to him.
Nikki smirked at him,
"once. You saved me once and I heard him I was in full swing when you shot him. Didn't you noticed that was when I pulled my gun out. I hadn't hit him yet. I knew someone else was here. I think you are alone. If there were more of you then there would have been less walkers for me to take out." Nikki looked him up and down.
"I'm guessing ..." She tilted her head,
"not navy or airforce so you are most likely a marine. We are young but that's because we are young enough and healthy enough to run and fight. Most of the older people opted to stay or didn't make it out fast enough." This part caught in her throat a bit.
"If you want shelter and good people you can come with us. I have to catch up." She started to walk and she said,
"By the way, I'm Nikki Hyatt."
