Mark wasn't so gentle laying the man down on the bed. Dropping the mans feet Mark rushed back outside. Grabbing his Machete he sliced the top of the nearest walkers skull off. It dropped but was quickly replaced with another. He heard a noise and turned to see Ash climbing up the side of the RV. "What the hell are you doing?"
"I have an idea." Mark watched Ash climb on top of the RV and fiddle with his crossbow. Mark turned his attention to a walker that approached him. Arms raised its hungry gaze settled on the biker. Mark grabbed the walkers arm with his giant hand pulling it towards him and jammed his blade into the walkers skull. It quickly stopped moving.
Ash moved to the truck once they got the man inside the RV. Grabbing a familiar looking guitar case he pulled out a roll of bolts wrapped with a rubber band. Shoving the guitar back Ash moved back to the RV. Seeing the walkers attracted by the survivors Ash moved into the RV. Opening the cabinet under the sink Ash pulled out a roadside emergency kit. Pulling the road flares out the cowboy let out a chuckle.
Ash quickly left the RV hearing Marko telling them to distract the walkers. "Hold on Marko i got an idea." Ash said as he turned and started climbing the side of the RV. Jumping up and grabbing the ledge Ash pulled himself up with a grunt. "What the hell are you doing?"
Ash could hear the Biker behind him. "I have an idea." Grabbing the skylight Ash pulled himself up the rest of the way. Laying his crossbow down Ash laid out the bolts and some tape. After a few seconds Ash had successfully taped the flare to one of his bolts. "Groovy."
Castle, perhaps taken over by emotions, ran off much to Marko's dismay. "Wait, goddamnit. You don't even know where she is!" He shouted after the running man in futility as he dissapeared behind a corner. At the same time, out of the corner of his eyes, Ash and Mark were attempting something that they would continue to speak of for days to come.
Ash stood atop the RV, crossbow in one hand and a makeshift incendiary bolt in the other. This could end really well, or really badly and they had no sure way to tell which direction it would go.
But there was no time. Castle could have been deaded straight for a trap, Tala could have already been dead, and the situation seemed to only get shittier, and shittier.
No, he'd just have to trust Ash and Mark.
"Try not to burn the forest down, or yourselves, or the RV!" Marko shouted as he took off after Castle. The walkers' attention were drawn to Ash, like moths to the flame, literally.
"She's in that room" Marko pointed towards the room where they were as he caught up to Castle. "We should move together" He reminded the other man. Otherwise, they'd just end up in the same shitty situation as before

Tala had heard the scream, and she glanced at Eli, and then the door. She started to feel panic rising over her. That was one of the girls! She locked eyes on Eli, "that was one of the girls, I have to check it." She reached for the spear on the bed, "we have to young girls traveling with us, and I won't let something happen to them, i promised them I would keep them safe." For the first time since he saw her, he would see the fear and emotion take over the female. She moved to the door, not caring if he shot her or not. Tala gripped the door an yanked it open, "Shoot me if you feel the need, but I have to make sure my girls are alright." She stepped out side the room, and moved just a few steps, then stopped to listen. She didn;t hear anything, and glanced towards the end of the building where they had started. God, what was going on?" She glanced back at the door, hoping that Eli wouldn't come out and shoot her in the back. She started to move back down the building, and then fear tok control and she broke into a run. As she rounded the corner, she slammed into a hard mass and bounced back , falling flat on her ass. The spear flung out of her hand, and landed a few feet from her.
Tala recovered quickly, thinking she had ran into a walker. She scrambled onto all fours and moved for the spear. Gripping the long handle, she croutched and held it, turning on her attacker.
Ash closed his eyes as he felt the direction of the winter air. The new bolt would be off balance but he'd do his best. Raising the bow to his eye the Texan lit the flare which produced a magnificent red glow around them.
Ash fired the bolt away over the heads of the approaching walkers and into the darkness. Ash immediately dropped to a knee and grabbed a second bolt ready to launch another. Attracted to the new light some of the walkers who hadn't spotted them turned and followed the light.
Kiku looked around her and quickly realized that she was alone, where had they gone? Noticing more walkers surrounding her, she put away her kunai and drew her sword. Keeping a level head she decapitated several walkers but failing to take out the one behind her, she'd missed it by a hair. When she heard it's growls she turned far to quickly and fell to the ground hard, the walker landing on top of her. She held off the walker the best she could with her forearm, using her other hand to attempt to pull out the kunai she now regretted putting away. Amidst the struggle she failed to notice the other walkers looming in on her.
(OOC: Sorry for taking forever to get back to this. I got mega hung up on work and such this last week and a half)
Eli knew he was making Lara totally uncomfortable by not speaking, but it had been a lifetime and a half since he had talked to another living breathing human. He punched his right hand into the opposite, trying to work up his nerve and speak.
Speak, damn it!, Eli thought to himself, Tell her you're a good fucking person, at least! Don't let her think you're like the others. Like the bad ones.
Finally, his courage returned to him. He was ready to open up.
"Ah..." his voice cracked.
A loud piercing scream came from somewhere off the premises.
"That was one of the girls, I have to check it." Lara grabbed her spear from off the bed "We have two young girls traveling with us, and I won't let something happen to them. I promised them I would keep them safe."
Before Eli could say another word, she dashed out of the room.
Eli grabbed his pistol off the bed and unsheathed his knife. He was tired of being alone. He was going to go with her. He picked his backpack up off the ground and Eli followed Lara out of the room,. He tried to keep a good pace behind her. He didn't want her to think that he was going to come up on her and slit her throat or anything. She rounded a corner, but as she did a set of the biters came upon Eli. He was cut off from Lara now.
"Oh...shit..." was the only thought that went through Eli's head as the biters caught wind of him. They turned in his direction without a growl or a snarl. They were eerily silent as they approached. Eli's adrenaline rushed as he led the two creatures back to the stairs. Eli crabwalked backwards up the stairs as the two followed him. The one in front lunged at him, but Eli jammed the knife into his eye and it pierced it's brain, but took his knife with him on the way down.
"Damn..." Eli whispered under his breath, but quickly came up with another method of disposing of the second one. It tripped up on the first body and started crawling towards Eli. Eli lifted himself up on the railings of the stairs and dropped both of his heavy boots down on the biters head, exploding it's brain matter out of the top of it's cranium. It's seeped through the gap in the stairs, but Eli yanked his knife out of the first one's eyesocket and continued around the corner towards Lara and the sound of the scream.

Skylar didn't want to sit and be a useless waste of time. She wanted to show this group who she really was. She wasn't a soft child that needed comforting, she was a person that never let anyone in on her emotions. "Screw this." She said, loud enough for other people in the RV to hear. She stood up, breaking Lilly's rules for not walking on it. She drew her gun from her holster, and walked outside. Ash lit and threw a flare, but only about half of the herd followed the flare. "Damn it!" Skylar said when she started limping again. Her foot hurt like hell, but she wasn't backing down or screaming for help now. Skylar put the gun back in it's place because if she shot the gun it would only draw in more walkers. She reached behind her and grabbed her hatchet. She half walked, half hobbled toward the walkers. She swung her hatchet as hard as she could at the base of the neck of the closest walker, and the head rolled off the stump that was once a neck.
Lily quickly looked at the ceiling when Ash had climbed onto the roof. "What's going on up there?" She looked back for skylar and saw she'd left. After a quick curse she left the RV searching for her. The sudden light of the flare startled her. Grabbing her knife she gave a quick glance at the air force symbol before chasing after Skylar.
"The hell's your issue?" Lilly instantly scolded Skylar. "You're brothers in there and I gotta chase your ass down instead of looking after him." Shoving a walker back she jammed the knife angrily into the walkers skull. Extracting her knife she kept moving towards Skylar before she felt a giant hand grab her arm and stop her. Turning to attack she was Met with the Biker Mark.
"Go." Lilly scoffed at the biker and pushed past him. She went back into the RV and slammed the door shut as she went to check out Skylar's brother. She stopped over him watching him. He could be infected. He could come back and hurt Ash. Clementine. Clementine.
Pulling out Ash's pack she produced his Magnum revolver. It was heavier than her normal pistol. How did he carry this around everywhere? Seeing it was loaded she carried it over to the boy. She stared at him her finger slowly running over the hammer.
Mark had finished pulling out his machete from a walker as he heard Lilly start scolding the new girl. Moving over to her Mark grabbed her arm. She went to attack but stopped seeing it was Mark. "Go" Mark let go of her as Lilly pushed past him.
Moving over to Skylar Mark pointed at the RV. "Move." The biker said simply to the girl. Moving past her he moved to continue his attack on the walkers.
Castle ran Thinking hoping Tala was okay his heart pounded as he looked back to see marko fallowing "Damn It Man I'll Be Fine Get Back To The R.V. Protect Our People." Castle ran around the corner to see Tala on the ground with a large biter standing in front of her. His jaw clenched as he ran up swinging his sword across the neck of the dead head taking the head clean off. With a small smile on his face seeing the blood it was taking over him again until he looked at tala his body fell still "Are You okay crumpet? Sorry I took so long." Castle offered his hand to help her up his soul task at this point was making sure every one was safe.
Tala was waiting, expecting the large male biter to attack her. She had heard Eli coming after her and had to hope he was doing so to help her. She heard sounds of fighting behind her, but didn't want to take her eyes off the beast before her.
It was just a few moments, but she was sizing it up. Deciding on her best move, since it outwieghed her by almost a 100 pounds, give or take. Speed, quick and fast and don't let it get ahold of you. She told herself.
She heard a frustrated brittish accent yelling and then a moment of silence. The others were in trouble! Tala was about to make a move when she saw blade thrust through the beasts neck. Head went one way and the body crumpled. Blood and ichor pooled before her. She gripped the spear and saw a hand before her eyes. Slowly lifting her eyes, she saw Castle. Tala gripped his hand and let him pull her to her feet. She was shaking, released his hand an gripped the front of his shirt," the girls, I heard a scream." She glanced back quickly remembering Eli.
She hadn't let go of Cad, wasn't sure she could. Her whole body was shaking. So muc was happening. She had to get it together. She saw Eli was ok and felt relief. Why? She didn't even know him, but it was a life and every life mattered now.
Tala took a deep breath and slowly loosened her grip on Cas' shirt." Sorry,I .." She what, had a moment? Was afraid? Was not as centered and put together as she wanted everyone to believe? No! She would not confess that, not here, not now. Not to him or anyone else. " this is Eli, found him in a room, he stays, he could have killed me and didn't he came to help me, when I heard the scream."
Tala locked eyes on Eli, and then Cas. No discussion, she made a decision and that was that. She stepped back from Cas, and saw biters , a burst of light go flying through towards the woods." What the fuck is going onn?!"
Feeling Tala gripping on castle shirt he smiled "My dear you still prove to be my good luck charm once again." As her grip slowly loosened on his shirt he garbed her hand and moved in to kiss her on the cheek and whispered. "Don't ever make me worry like that again." As he moved away she introduced Eli Castle bowed his head. "I guess were a bloody popular group we found a bunch of other people but I welcome you chap now let's get these deamons dealt with and then get extremely wankered." Castle rose his head and readied his sword for the next battle.
Skylar did as she was told and went back to the RV, limping. She walked over to the place they ended up putting her brother. She was relieved to have him here. She saw Lilly get out the gun. "What the hell?!" Skylar yelled. "Lilly stop!" She yelled, once again. "I'll check for bites if you want," Skylar paused, and turned around to inspect her brother. "I know y'all think I'm useless," Skylar mumbled while she was checking her brother's arms for any bites. She then lifted up his shirt. "He's clean." Skylar said, turning back around to the couch since that's the only place they want her.
I'm not gonna give up on you just yet, big brother.
Gray woke up when he felt someone touching his arms, but he didn't move. He slightly opened his eyes and saw Skylar checking him for roamer bites. He almost flinched when she pulled up his shirt, but remained still. He knew Skylar was doing it to make sure he was safe; basically what he would've done for her. He saw a woman named.. Lilly..? She was holding a gun, and her finger was at the trigger. Gray could hear fighting sounds outside, which made him want to get up and help, but he didn't want to make people know he was awake. When Skylar went to plop onto the couch, he could see her limping.

Wyatt saw how Ash stormed in, grabbed something from under the sink and made his way out again. Shortly after he heard sounds on the roof of the RV. “What dafuck is going on.” He said as he looked up. There was yelling outside and the sounds of the walkers. Wyatt felt tense as he didn’t know what was going on and he heard how Lily asked the same question, she wanted to know what was going on as well.
Just then Skylar cursed and got out of the RV. “Dammit.” Wyatt said as he wanted to go after her, but Lily beat him to it. But on the same time a bright light was seen outside. Wyatt saw how Lily left the RV and decided he would stay with the boy. Not moments later Lily walked back in but without the girl. "Where is she?" he asked. Wyatt walked over to one of the windows and looked outside. “Any idea what’s going on?” he asked Lily, while staring out the window. Then he heard the door of the RV again, this time it was Skylar. “Are you crazy!” Wyatt yelled. But she immediately rushed towards her brother, yelling at Lilly. Wyatt turned around and saw Lilly standing next to the boy with her gun nearly raised at him.
“Wow.” Wyatt said as he went over to Lilly, took her gun and shortly after placed it on the table. He placed his hands on her shoulders and gave her a softy shake. “Hey snap out if it, we don’t kill people, especially if they are hurt!” He yelled at her. “Now I want all your guns, we can’t have this sort of shit right now.” Wyatt yelled. Then he heard how Skylar said the boy was safe, no bites. “Now help him, we aren’t cruel people, we need to help where we can.” He said in a more soft tone now as he looked at Lilly.
(Feel free to use Eli in any action segments if you want! I don't mind!)
Eli shook from head to toe. It had been a few days since he had dealt with any biters: both a blessing and a curse in this world. Sometimes you forget what it's like to put one down. Eli had a bad habit of looking into their eyes and wondering who they were as a person, which was a big NO-NO if you wanted to keep your sanity in this day and age.
He wiped the coagulated blood from off of his knife and held it in a defensive posture as Tala and another man rounded the corner. Marko, maybe? They approached Eli and began the introductions.
The other guy was Castle, as he came to be known. 'Cool name', Eli thought to himself, 'Guy probably got laid a lot back before all this. Shit, probably still does.' Castle carried himself with an air of confidence, probably one he had brought over from who he was before. Lucky that he was able to hold on to his humanity this long.
Eli instantly envied him. Not in a 'Gonna-stab-you-in-the-head-while-you-sleep' kind of envy, but you get the picture. Eli wished he had that level of confidence. He thought he had done pretty well by opening that door upstairs for a pair of strangers, but from what Castle said, it seems like he had instantly opened his world to many other people...and that was just in the passed few hours.
Eli wanted to speak with him immediately. Find out what his secret was. How could he merc the biters and then turn around and want to get, as he said, "Wankered", which Eli assumed meant getting shitfaced. Which meant he wanted to party it up. 'Fuck, a drink does sound pretty good right now...Quit thinking, you idiot! Speak!'
Eli moved his mouth to speak...but a group of the biters rounded the corner. 'Of course', he thought, 'Right in the social life!' By his count there was at least ten. Not a large number, but they could over take the three of them if they weren't handled right.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!"
"I don't know...I don't know any of you", Eli said, "But I want to help. Let's get rid of these biters and then go find the rest of your friends! Castle and I should take the front. Lara, you stand behind us with that spear-" Eli pointed at her weapon "-and take any out that try to break through."
The kiss to her cheek made her stare at Castle, and his words. Was he really that worried about her? Why? She could handle herself, hell, he had seen her do it. She glanced at Eli, as he came closer. She saw the way he looked at Cas, and had to fight to not chuckle.
She could see Eli's eyes and knew he admired Castle. Jesus, that was all she needed, another cavalier. Her eyes scanned the are and she sucked her breath as she saw the group coming at them. Fucking hell! Damn brilliant , whoever shot that light. Except not all of them were taking the bait! She watched as Eli moved ahead of her, to be next to Castle. She cocked her head, and gave him the fact that they were to the steps, and that gave them a back cover, but why put her behind them? God that pissed her off! Damn guys, thinking she can't deal because she is a girl! Castle too, she was about to ride the world of that beast, but he took her glory.
She smirked and glanced at them both, 'Oh, I don't know, I might get dirty." She scoffed at them and moved up a step, two, to be higher than them. She did have better leverage. She gripped her spear and waited. She would do as he asked, but that didn't mean she had to like it.
A bolt of light flew past her as she struggled with the walker. As she continued to keep the walker at bay while trying to get her kunai back in hand she notice what was going on, they're trying to draw away the walkers. That's bad news for me though, its just going to draw them towards me! She put more force into her arm to keep the walker farther away and finally felt her fingers touching the familiar cold steal that was her kunai. She grabbed it by the loop and pulled it out, in one swift movement her hand went from wrapped awkwardly around herself to in the side of the walkers head. She pushed it's limp body off of herself and quickly got to her feet. She gripped her sword tightly as she assessed the situation before her, how many walkers did she need to kill in order to get away?
《OOC: Sorry for any errors. I typed this on my phone at work.》
Marko caught up with Castle, only to find that Tala was safe, and standing beside her was another man who he could only assume was the stranger they met earlier. So, there was no danger, otherwise he wouldn't be standing here with them. He gave them a quick wave. Part of him was glad Tala was safe, the other felt differently.
He had once again, perhaps accidentally (did it matter?), left behind others in need.
Time was of the essence still, and they were wasting plenty of it.
Not bothering to hide his exhaustion, and perhaps frustration, Marko beckoned to the others as he looked back towards the RV and the crazy man with the incendiary crossbow on top. "We got a happy-meal-sized horde of walkers on our hands." He turned to them, giving each a quick once-over. No wounds, no bites, tired but still in fighting trim. No matter, it would be over soon, one way or another. By this point, Marko had realized these people could handle themselves, and didn't quite need to instructions he had been instinctively barking.
"Ready to go kill some walkers?" Marko spoke, without emotions. Perhaps too mentally exhausted, or perhaps this had already become a usual thing for them.
