Emily has been with the group of Camp Blusky since Doc found her. Before Doc, she was barely surviving. Her parents died during the first week of the disease. She was only thirteen when all this started. She survived by sticking to the woods and sleeping in trees. Doc found her with barely any meat on her bones, covered in dirt and blood, and half wild. Doc took her back to the camp and been helping her ever since.
Doc is the only one she trusts. She has severe trust issues due to the many bad groups she has come across. Doc has grown to be like a father to her and she always sticks by his side.
Today she is standing with him as he makes trades with the market. "Well if availability of ammo is all your care about the 22 is the way to go." Sketchy says as Emily runs her fingers over the recurve black bow. It comes with a black quiver with gold details and black mahogany arrows with gold tips.
"How 'bout a straight across trade?" Doc asks as Emily moves her eyes away from the amazing bow, quiver, and arrows to Doc. "A dozen of these aspirins for a dozen of these reloaded .223's."
"You can't kill a zombie with aspirin." Skeezy says to Doc.
"Well, you can't kill a fever with a bullet and they ain't making any more aspirin."
"Make it a dozen oxycontin and you got a deal."
"I'd have to take a dozen oxycontin before I'd make that deal. How 'bout some meth?" Doc and Skeezy look at Emily as she says that.
"Yeah, what Emmy said." Doc says as he wraps an arm around her and kisses her temple. "Huh? You want some crystal? Yeah, I baked it myself."
"That same pink ice you made before? No, that stuff gave me an ax to the skull headache."
"That's what the aspirin is for." Emily says.
"Hoe many ampules of morphine you got left in there?" Sketchy asks.
"Behind you." Emily turns just as Addy takes out the Z with her metal bat.
"Brutal." She tells Sketchy after a minute.
"Told you." Sketchy gives a side glance at the Z. "Hey, isn't that Red Hanson?"
"Z's got red?" Skeezy asks. "Damn it, he was one of our best customers, tough as bullets. I wonder if his brothers know."
"You can ask because here they come now." Emily says as she grabs an arrow and fires it with the bow, causing it to go right through the Z's brain and causing it to fall like nothing. "Good aim kiddo." Normally the weapons Emily has on her is a hunting knife, which she keeps in her right boot. Her boots have slots in it to keep things. She also has a pistol on her right thigh.
Mack takes the other out just as another sneaks up at him. Emily aims her bow and fires again. "Closing time. You can keep the bow and gear, baby girl." Sketchy says as he kisses her cheek and hands her an arm guard and the quiver filled with arrows. "Catch you next time."
"Thanks, Sketchy." Sketchy has always been sweet to her. Emily thinks it's because he had a daughter before all this and she reminds him of her. The guys back their things up and drive off.
"The way that big one moved, he must have turned just a few hours ago." Doc sas as Emily puts the quiver onto her back and folded up her bow. It's one of those collapsible ones, so she sticks it right into her left boot's slot.
"We should check the camp." Emily tells Doc.
"Yeah, we should make sure everything with the camp is good. Who knows if there are more Zs running around." Doc says as he takes Emily's leather fingerless gloved hand in his. She's dressed in her gloves on, her heavy duty black combat boots, a pair of grey skinnies, a black wife beater, and her favorite red zip up. Emily's auburn hair is pulled back in a ponytail to keep her cool and keep it from being grabbed as easily.
Emily is a beautiful girl with her blue eyes that resmeble sapphire stones. She has pale skin that seems to glow with her eyes. She is petite and short, standing only 5'3". The only thing that can be considered a flaw is a scar that goes through her left eyebrow, over her eyelid, and just a little bit under her eye. She got that from a group she was unlucky enough to run into. She was lucky to not have been blinded.
Emily is pulled from her thoughts as she sees what has come of her camp. "Oh my god..." She whispers as she sees the fire in the camp.
"Mayday. Mayday. Calling Camo Blue Sky." Doc says as he speaks in his walkie, staring at the camp. "This is Doc. With Thompson, Carver, and Tucker. What is your situation? Over."
"Hey, Doc. What's going on? What's going on?" Emily sighs in relief as she hears Garnett.
"Garnett? Thank God you're alive." Doc says. We thought everyone was dead."
"I'm not at Camp Blue Sky. What's happening?"
"The batteries in the walkie are dying." Doc says trough the walkie.
"Wait. Say. Again."
Emily jumps as an explosion comes from Camp Blue Sky. "Blue Sky has been overrun." Doc says. "The whole place is... on fire."
"Survivors?"
"Well, there was a ton of gunfire a while ago, but nothing since." The walkie becomes static, causing Emily to frown.
"Doc..."
"Come on. Let's go. Come on, sweetie." Doc says as he grabs Emily's hand and the four head away from the water. The four of them run through the woods to get to the camp.
"Oh, there's the escape bus." Addy says, breathing heavily from their run. "Oh, they got the kids out. Okay." Emily watches the bus pass them and sees a Z in the back.
"No, the kids." Emily cries.
"Come on." Addy says as they run quickly after the bus. They watch the bus swerve before crashing into a tree.
Emily stops in her tracks as the back exit of the bus opens and all the kids get out, but now they're Zs. "Run!" Emily screams as they turn and run as fast as she can. "Doc." Emily cries in fear as she sees them gaining on them.
They climb up the hill and stop when they see four Zs standing there waiting. A truck runs the walkers down and Garrett pops his head out of the window. "Get in!" He orders as a soldier opens the door.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Emily climbs into the bed of the truck as Doc gets into the back with the soldier. Addy and Mack climb up with Emily.
"Go go go go!" Mack yells as they drive down the road. Emily sighs and leans against the truck as they ride down the road.
Time goes by slow as Emily tries to get some sleep. She's exhausted after that long issue. "Hey, Em, I know you're tired, but we're here." Addy says, causing Emily to open her eyes. She stands up and looks around at the school. There's smoke and it looks like it recently got taken over.
"Get back in the truck." The soldier says to the strange man. Emily stands up and loads her bow in case anything tries to jump the soldier.
"Is it them?" The stranger asks. "Hammond?! Is it them?!" He shouts to the soldier, Hammond.
"Yeah." Hammond calls back as he gives mercy to one of the Zs.
"I got to pee." Emily rolls her eyes as she hears the man.
Everyone gets out of the truck and Emily puts her arrow back in the quiver, folds up her bow, tucks her bow into her boots, and hops out of the truck. "Don't go far." Warren tells the stranger.
"Don't worry." Emily looks at the man in disgust before going to Doc's side.
"My reinforcements are dead." Hammond tells them. "We need to make a quick search for survivors and any supplies." Hammond looks at the stranger. "You! Zip it up and stay close to me."
"Hey, where did all the Zs go?" Addy asks.
"Moved on. Like locusts."
"Yeah, but they'll be back." Hammond says. "Garnett and Warren, you clear the building. And you four check the vehicles."
"He's in charge now?" Emily asks Doc.
"Come on, Emmy." Doc says as he takes her hand and leads her off.
