Winter took the lady's shoulder as Kit took the legs. The bus had stopped. The man who had sat next to the woman shuffled behind to help. It was around 7.30am by then according to Winter's watch. It looked like they have stopped at a small country town.
Winter heard the bus driver announce to the rest of the passengers that it was time to alight. That he had to return to Los Angeles to shuttle more people out of the city.
Winter ignored most of the groans and complains as the passengers hopped off the bus. Most had formed a circle around Kit, herself, the sick woman and the sick woman's travel companion.
The woman was still breathing but she was not responsive. Her skin was a pale grey, lips blue.
'Oh man she is very sick,' she said, worried. 'Try your mobile phones! Call an ambulance!' Winter told the crowd, 'Does anyone have reception?'

Kid check his phone 'nothing' everyone else repeated his response or shook thire heads was one last choking sound from Kit than silence 'she dead' Kid declared in barely more than a whisper. 'What the hell going on' her travel partner broke in to tears.
Time seem to be going slowly most people Kid himself just stared off into space no one knew what was happening or what to say. Kid saw something just in corner of his eye. 'Couldn't be' Kid muttered to himself. Had to be trick of the light but Kid could have sworn he saw slight movement from Kit the now dead girl but that literally couldn't be. It happen suddenly and fast out of know where Kit body was upright and had tackled the man she was traveling with and her body was on top of him. The man screamed in pain man others screamed in fear. Kid didn't even remember doing it just next thing he knew Meg body was laying still once again and he stood over her body with a bloody rock in his hand with everyone staring at him.

Winter was in shock when Kid said that the lady had died. She didn't know the woman, but Winter felt extreme sadness. Her eyes began to mist over.
And then the dead lady was up again. She had lunged onto his travelling companion and bitten into his arm. 'What the f? She's still alive!!!'
The next moment, Kid had smashed her over with a rock. 'Kid!!! Stop! She's alive! She needs help!' Winter stared at him in shock like everyone else around them.

Kid stared back blankly at everyone staring at him he honest blank out he couldn't remember doing it he look at the rock in his hand 'she...she dead and' Kid muttered not knowing what he was saying he body had gone into shock. 'And she was she was' he said faintly was strange ringing in his ears 'she was biting but she dead' he muttered looking at the man with nasty bite mark on him 'I was' and out of no where Kid bent down and was physically sick

Winter looked at the crowd, who was all staring at Kid in disgust. Some were moving forward to help the sick woman and the man who was bitten - he was squirming on the ground, screaming with pain.
Winter moved over to Kid, patting him on the back. 'It's ok, she was attacking the man, I guess you had to do something about it. The police will understand.'

'Police' Kid repeated vaguely. He didn't even thibk about running for it wouldn't get him very far and he was still in shock. He spent years be physically abused by his stepfather he had PTSD from war everyone always told him came out of no where he couldn't control it seem like an excuse to Kid but just now that attack it just happen as if he wasn't in control of his own actions.
'She was dead' Kid mutted trying make sense of what happen. 'I checked the body myself she was dead and what with that bite and her face?' Kid looked Winter in eye looking for signs of fear like everyone else showed when look at him now.

Winter thought back when Kid checked the lady's pulse. Could it be possible that he had missed it? She wasn't sure. She was no doctor. But how would it explain her randomly attacking the other man. Did she have rabies? Can humans have rabies?
The bus was long gone and most of the crowd and left, exploring the new town they were at, and generally worried about what was going on in Los Angeles that warranted an evacuation at this scale.
There were still a few lingering beside the dead-now-alive woman, as well as the man who seemed to have fainted from loss of blood.
'Look, it's alright, you did it to protect the man,' she said. There were probably other ways to subdue the lady, but Winter didn't think this was a good time to bring it up.
There was a collective gasp from the little crowd beside them and she looked over. The lady was awake again! She was making a gutteral noise from her throat. 'Kid, see? She's ok....' she drifted off. The lady had sprung back up and her jaw was wrapped around another woman's neck, spilling blood all over the ground beside Winter and Kid.

Winter bounced up away from the blood and the attacking woman. 'What the heck?' she shouted, utterly frightened. She hadn't noticed Kid backing away, but heard him tell her to run. Winter watched as the previously dead woman tear away the throat of the other person, who screamed in such an inhuman way Winter was sure she would have waking nightmares for the rest of her life.
Kid's shout had done the trick though. She turned around and ran into the store that Kid had gone to.

Kid ran into what looked like a cornor store empty and unlocked 'What would happen for them to just leave a shop like this with out locking up?' Kid asked turning around to look at Winter. Kid spotted a radio he ran to turn it on was crackly and hard to hear
' unknown Epidemic has broken out county wide coursing mass panic with in last 24 hours. It is unknown at this stage what has caused the virus. Many Reports of phenomenal aggression from those infected' the radio went crackly Kid pounded it with his fist. 'Decease control and armed forces have been called in it been advised if you come across anyone sick or if showing signs of infection to...'
The radio was nothing more than satic. Kid look at Winter ' grab supplys food water anyhting that can be useful we can't hold up in here not secure enough ' Kid went into back room of the shop and gagged he called out to Winter to come here 'Guess it wasn't just abandoned after all' Kid said staring at the dead body of the shop keeper Kid notice a gun on desk next to him 'ever fired a gun before?'

Winter dashed over to the radio as Kid got it working. She stood frozen as she listened to it. Disease? Epidemic? Aggression? Had they just witnessed it outside with the woman on the bus?
A few people had come into the store, having the same idea to use it as a temporary shelter and for supplies. She could see out the window that other stores in the vicinity were having the same fate. Winter gathered up the radio and continued to bang it as Kid went around the back.
'-emergency--take shelter--together--inside safe--t-----panic-----,' the radio spat out fuzzily as Winter knocked it about and took it to different locations. '-safe zone--away-----east--must-g---kr---.'
Winter grabbed a new bag from an aisle and stuffed a couple of water bottles and a loaf a bread into it. She also found a torch, which she also put into her bag. She went to find Kid and saw him standing over a dead body. 'No I've never fired a gun. Was he...did you....?' she whispered, wondering if Kid had killed another person.

Kid stared at her than back to the body and realized how look 'No I didn't I swear he he was just like that when got here'Kid knew in less than 6 hours he hadn't made very good impression of himself hell he was starting to look like he was dangerous 'Swear wasn't me' He repeated looking her directly in the eyes SMASH sound of glass breaking 'looters' Kid whispered snatching up the gun 'Listen I can shoot icgrew up on farm got listen to me you heard news report saw what happened at bus things getting crazy pepole are panicking things could get dangerous'
OOC: can make the smashing sound actual loters or walkers both work

Winter gazed at Kid, considering his words. Kid didn't look like a killer to Winter, but then you never know with people you don't know well. Before she could respond however, there was a loud shattering noise from the main part of the store. Kid had taken the gun. Winter looked around desperately for a weapon. She couldn't see any. Come on, anything! She grabbed a three legged bar stool in the corner and hoisted it up, legs facing outwards.
They cautiously returned to the store from the back room and saw that it was other people, coming in and raiding the store in droves. Winter put down her stool. 'Come on, we gotta get supplies before they're all gone,' she muttered to Kid and pushed forward to get a few packet of noodles and biscuits to put into her backpack.
(ooc: I didn't think they'd be much walkers yet since this is an outskirt town. There might be a few but it won't be a large pack. Feel free to add some in though!)

Winter was taking a packet of biscuits when she felt a jerk on her backpack. She yanked it back straight away and encountered resistence. Kid had a gun pointed to the other man, telling him to let go.
Winter didn't react. She didn't know what was going on in the world. In a normal circumstance, she might have just given the man the bag, lest she was harmed. She would probably have been very afraid of Kid. But she didn't know how she should react now. Was the disease temporary? The sound of the man's scream as the dead lady bit into his arm outside on the road still resonated in Winter's head. She could not get rid of it. The scream of pain, of death.
Presently, the man who had tried to take Winter's bag shied away from her under Kid's threat. Winter found she really didn't know who this person was, the guy who had been so friendly the day before. They were sharing stories about home in Queensland. There was a sense of comrade. Now Kid was holding a gun and willing to bash open heads with a rock.
The looters went off to another corner of the store. With more people coming in for supplies, Winter decided the store was no longer safe. She picked up the three legged stool again as a weapon.
'I'm going to go, Kid,' she said, pushing her way out of the store. 'Obviously we can't go into Los Angeles, but I think the radio said to head east. I will go in that direction.'

Kid followed Winter out 'Listen I wasn't going to fire unless I had to things are getting ugly out here you need learn to defend yourself or at lease learn to look like you can. I grew up on farm learnt how shoot young I could teach you if you like ' Kid look around at the panic and chaos 'what kind of decease spreads county wide and can do all this or be enough concern for the armed forces to be interested?' Kid asked out loud 'We sitting next to that girl on bus we could have whatever this is' Kid said grimly
Post by Winter Kaiyn on Jun 12, 2018 21:58:13 GMT -5
Winter looked at the people running around. Some looked downright crazy. 'I can look after myself,' she said. 'I can handle a situation. Whatever is happening, I'm sure it'll blow over soon.'
She brandished her three legged stool at a woman looking a bit crazed at her, and she ran away.
'If we get sick from being near to the bus woman, we should check ourselves into a hospital. Although I'm not feeling unwell, are you?'
She began to walk away from the city. 'I'm heading east. Coming?'
Post by Billy "Kid" Buchanan on Jun 12, 2018 22:22:52 GMT -5
'Coming'Kid said jogging to catch up. 'Yeah I feel fine and much rather bite into a juicey steak than any human ' Kid checked his phone 'still no signal I wonder if our travel insurance will cover us for human hungry diseases' he joked trying lighten the mood. They walked in silence for ten or so minutes till something caught kids eye. 'Look over there' Kid said pointing out a little girl holding a teddy 'think she lost?' Kid went up to 'hey where your mummy and daddy?' He asked softly the little girl turned around made made a moaning noise at them. Kid gasp at the sight of her her face was decayed and rotting.

Winter walked on, hoisting the stool over her shoulder. She really should get a better weapon. At least she can put it down and sit anywhere, she thought with amusement.
She didn't know how to reply to the travel insurance question. The comment had made her think of her family back in Australia. The next time they came across a store or payphone, she needed to make a call.
The sun was well and truly in the middle of the sky by now as they walked on the side of the highway. Cars passed intermittently.
It was a while before Kid stopped and gestured to a girl in front of them. They hurried to her and when she turned around, it was all Winter could do to not scream. Her face was completely bloodied.
'She's hurt Kid,' Winter exclaimed, approaching her. But not too close remember what had happened to the woman on the bus. She stopped about a metre from the girl.'Do you think she has the disease...?'
Winter put down her stool and said softly, 'Hello, are you ok? Are you hurt? Where are you parents?'

The little girl the groan at them staring at them with hungry look in her eye 'I don't think that is normal I mean look at her face' Kid muttered 'Hi I'm Kid and this is Winter do you need help?' Kid asked kindly girl the groaned and walked towards them slowly. Kid looked at Winter for some kind of support.
