Scarlett - Baton Rouge - Tyler/Jacob/Liam/Katie
Scarlett stayed frozen in her spot, listening as the gun shots continued. There were many more than one and by the sound of them, there were plenty of biters too.
As the gun shots died down, she slowly sheathed her blade and began to take deep breaths. "It's okay. They're probably gone now. It's okay." She sighed and ran a hand through her hair, crossing her arms afterwards. She turned both left and right before beginning to make her way slowly towards the corner, her back still on the wall. Her mind was racing with the different types of possibilities and outcomes. Surely if there were any biters around the streets, they would have heard the shooting and would start to make their way towards the sound. She needed to get out of there. That or get into one of the nearby buildings and hide out for a few days.
Suddenly, the sound of a clicking fence made her stop in her tracks, eyes wide with fear. It was obvious that it wasn't biters due to the sound of footsteps hitting the pavement after they jumped over the fence. Part of her mind prayed that whoever it was go the other way around, the other part of her mind was shouting at her to run the opposite way. Before Scarlett could make up her mind and make her legs move, they were there. She stepped back a few feet as the man shouted a profanity and pointed his weapon at her. "No, please!" Her voice came out as a whisper as she put her hands up, pleading for the man not to shoot. Tears filled her eyes, not because of the chance that the men would take her like the raiders before, but because she was tired of running and didn't think she had it in her to fight off the living. As more came around the corner, she kept losing faith in her chances of escaping, until one of the men came between her and the pistol. "Woah, woah... Cool it, she's defenseless. Are you okay?" Scarlett stared at the men for a second and nodded slowly. She didn't know if the man was feigning sincerity or if it was genuine, but the sound of it in his question made her relax the slightest. "P... Please I don't mean any of you any harm I was just passing through.... Please don't kill me." She gave them a pleading and apologetic look as they stood there, her hands still up for the group to see she meant no harm.
