Meeting

Three teenage girls were in a difficult situation. Well, everyone is in a difficult situation with the zombie apocalypse going on, but these three are in a particularly more difficult one. The three girls are: Arcadia, age 18, has brown/blonde/red hair just below her shoulders. She wears a black tank top, blue jeans, black shoes and a black jacket; Eclipse, age 19, has dyed pink hair down to her butt, natural blonde coming in a the roots. She wears a black shirt, silver-ish jeans, black shoes and a black hoodie; Ivony, age 19, has brown hair above her shoulders. She wore a brown jacket, blue t-shirt and blue jeans with white shoes. The three of them were stuck on top of a semi-truck trailer. They had no way to escape all of the Zs that were surrounding them. The girls had weapons, but all of them were out of ammo. One gun, a dark pink camo sniper rifle, still had ammo, but it was somewhere in the swarm of Zs. Ivony had dropped Arcadia's sniper rifle as she was running to the trailer. No one was happy about that, which caused tension to build on the already tense situation.

"I cannot believe you dropped it." Arcadia told Ivony as calmly as possible. It was difficult because Arcadia was furious with Ivony. The three girls were used to that though. Arcadia and Ivony never got along. The three of them have been friends since long before the world went to shit.

"It was an accident! If you want the gun so bad, then go and get it!" Ivony snapped back. Arcadia turned and glared at Ivony.

"You're the one that dropped it. You should go and get it." Arcadia smirked at the glare that Ivony sent to her. Eclipse just sat and watched the two argue. The two were standing and pacing around as they argued back and forth. Neither of the girls was paying attention to their surroundings, so only Eclipse saw that in the distance, a truck was coming their way.

"Hey!" Eclipse said loudly, making both other girls jump a bit. Eclipse pointed out towards the truck that was coming. "Shut up and look."

"People?" Arcadia questioned, trying to see. She wore glasses and had a bad time seeing very far.

"People in a truck." Ivony clarified. The two's argument was long forgotten now. The three girls watched as the truck got closer. Eclipse and Ivony were yelling and waving their arms. Arcadia just sat down and watched. Thankfully for the girls, the people in the truck saw the two yelling girls. The truck stopped at a safe distance and six people got out; two girls, three guys and one guy that was told to go back into the truck. The group of five got a little closer and the dark skinned woman, who was most likely in charge, spoke up.

"Do you girls need some help?" The woman said to the girls. She was loud enough for them to hear, but it didn't draw much attention from the Zs.

"No, we were just planning on staying up here and dying." Arcadia said with her voice full of attitude as she rolled her eyes. Ivony and Eclipse glared at Arcadia.

"We'd like some help." Ivony said as nicely as possible.

"Just watch out. My rifle is somewhere in the Zs, and if it already isn't broken, then I'd like you people to not step on it." Arcadia said, still with that attitude in her voice. She got another glare from her friends.

"Alright." The woman told her group something and then they went to work. The five of them gave the Zs mercy. They all seemed to work together. It made the three girls jealous a bit. They could never get along long enough to work together like that. It's exactly how they ended up in the situation they are in now. The three girls watched in awe as the five people gave all the Zs mercy in just a few minutes. There were only a few left when Arcadia jumped down from the trailer. Arcadia went right to her rifle, which was in the possession of a boy that looked the girls' age. He handed her the rifle, and she smiled at him. Arcadia was clearly happy to have her gun back, and see that it wasn't damaged at all.

"Thank you." She told the guy, before returning to her group. She watched the two get down off the trailer with the rest of their stuff.

"Thank you all. I thought we were going to die up there." Eclipse said to the woman in charge. She was trying to be polite, which was odd for her in a way.

"I thought we were going to have to sacrifice Ivony to escape." Arcadia said casually. Ivony glared at Arcadia, which just shrugged it off. Eclipse sighed and rolled her eyes at the comment. She knew that Arcadia was dead serious though. "So who are you people anyway?"

"I'm Roberta Warren." The woman in charge said. She went down the line of her group. The man that was older than everyone else, with facial hair was first. "That's Doc." The boy the girls' age was after Doc. "That's 10K." The red head girl and blonde-ish boy were after 10K. "That's Addy, and Mack." Then the woman pointed to the truck in the background. "The one in the truck is Murphy." She finished off. The girls processed all the peoples' names.

"I'm Eclipse, she's Ivony and she-" Eclipse was cut off by Ivony.

"And the bitch with the rifle is Arcadia." Ivony finished. She had obvious hate towards Arcadia and it showed by the tone of her voice. Arcadia just smiled and shook her head. She didn't really care about what Ivony said about her.

"Well, you three look a little young to be out here by yourselves. Would you like to come with us?"

"Sure." Ivony said, but wasn't heard over Arcadia's response.

"We're doing just fine alone." Arcadia snapped. She clearly didn't want any part in a group.

"Arc, we might as well join." Eclipse told her friend. Arcadia looked down at the ground and mumbled an answer. "We'll happily join."

"By the way, we have a car of our own." Ivony spoke up.

"I have a car. You two just get to ride in it." Arcadia corrected, annoyed with Ivony.

"Yeah Ivony. So Arc, where's the car?" Eclipse questioned. Arcadia looked around and turned towards the empty roads. She was silent for a moment as she looked to see if she could see anything.

"Where did I park the car?" Arcadia responded. The two other girls turned to Arcadia shocked as their new group watched.

"You lost the car?" Ivony questioned. Arcadia turned back towards everyone.

"No, I just don't know where it is right now." She shrugged like it wasn't anything new. Which it wasn't. Arcadia has a bad habit of losing things, from guns to cars, she can potentially lose anything.

"You gotta be kidding me!"

"Have you guys seen a lime green Plymouth Roadrunner around here at all?" Arcadia asked the group. All of them shook their heads. "Oh damn…"

"How can you lose a car?" Ivony yelled.

"Well it's actually pretty easy."

"You bitch…" The two began to argue, again. Arcadia made sarcastic remarks and Ivony made rude ones. Finally Arcadia spun around and began to walk away. "Where the hell are you going?"

"To find the car!" She didn't even turn to them when she spoke. Ivony rolled her eyes and turned away from Arcadia. Their new group watched, confused.

"The two of them argue all of the time. It's totally normal." Eclipse told the five people.

"She went off on her own though." Addy said, concerned.

"Yeah she does that a lot. She can handle herself just fine. You don't have to worry about her."

"Alright. Well let's get back to the truck to wait." Warren told everyone. The group headed to the truck to wait for Arcadia to return. Everyone seemed okay with the three new additions to the group. Well except for Murphy, but he's never okay with anyone joining the group.
