This is my story about a young girl in 'The Last of Us' world. I only owe Casie, whose BIO you can see below, Mason and Tyler…please no hate/flames or abuse of any kind.
Casie is a 19 year old girl who has lost everything, including her family which she has no memory of. Casie is immune, finding out after she was attacked by a Stalker and getting bitten on left side of her neck when she was 13. Over the years, she has gotten more bit marks, left arm when she was 14, left hand, between thumb and index finger when she was 15, right arm when she was 16 and her left ankle when she was 18.
Casie short sandy blond hair that is always pulled up into a ponytail, blue eyes, fair skin and an hour-glass figure. She wear a long sleeve white skivvy, a plain grey shirt, a black scarf wrapped around her neck and as a hoodie, a large black backpack which has little bit of food, 2 bottle of water, bandages, ammo and arrows which stick out, lose jeans, a brown belt, white joggers and black fingerless gloves. Casie always carries a pocket knife in jean pocket, a hunting knife in her belt, a bow over her bag, a rifle over her right shoulder and a hand gun that's in the back of her pants.
Casie is a quiet girl that keeps to herself though she loves helping people in need. Most of the time she avoids people and learnt to pick out bandits. She lives being alone though sometimes she does enjoy the company. She lived in a military controlled zone till she was first bit when she was 13. She ran off and waited to turn but when nothing happened, she started traveling. She met with others who had help her out. She keeps her bit mark hidden so no one kills her. She saved a few groups and has gotten more bite marks. Most time she runs away from the group but a few times she tells them her story. She travels in she can find someone else like her and to find hope.
Casie wakes up to a loud noise which cause her to jump. Casie quickly got up, grabbing her gun and scans the room she is in. It was small, she was standing next to a double bed that has two bedside table next to it and a dressers draws at the foot. After staring at the door, Casie sighs as she grabs her gear and headed out into the dead city that was once known as Nashville, Tennessee. She was alone. She just left a group after they went north, in hope to find someplace safe. Casie made a lie up and headed west. That was a week ago. The fact is, Casie can't stand being in a group, not while she has so many marks to cover. If she had one or two, then she would think about it more but she has five marks to hide. Casie sighs as she looks at the morning sky.
'I better get moving if I want to make it to the next town.' Casie thinks to herself as she heads off to find the freeway or a highway out of town. She was on high alert for an infected or any bandits. Joys of traveling alone. You have no one to watch your back. She kept heading west, she doesn't know why, but she keeps going. Though every day she question on why she keeps going. What is the point? 'No.' Casie thought as she stops and places her hand on her forehead. 'I can't think like that, I need to keep going.' Casie then tells herself as she starts walking again. Casie then stops after hearing voices and pulls out her handgun and looks around. Then a boy, a teenager ran out of an alley with a frustrated look. He has short black hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. He is wearing a white shirt, a navy blue jacket, a black and blue backpack, jeans, a brown belt and black joggers. Casie then notices he is holding a handgun, so she points hers at him. The boy notices her and goes into shock.
"Mason!" he shouts and an older boy runs out. He has short, light brown, brown eyes and fair skin. He is red blouse, a brown backpack, jeans, a brown belt, brown boots. He was also holding a handgun, pointing at her, but Casie also saw a rifle over his shoulder and a hunting knife in his belt.
'I guess that's Mason.' Casie assumes as she points the gun at him.
"Stay behind me Tyler." Mason tells the younger kid.
'Are they brothers?' Casie thought and sighs as she shacks her head as she puts her gun away, taking a few steps back and pulls down her hoodie.
"Wait, you're a girl." Mason said shock and Casie sighs.
"She's friendly." Tyler said as he push down Mason's gun. "And alone." he then said looking around.
"Are you alone?" Mason asks.
"Yes." Casie replies as she pulls her hoodie back up.
"I'm Tyler and this is my brother, Mason." Tyler introduces and Casie smiles.
"Tyler." Mason warns him.
"I don't bite." Casie said as she cross her arms and Mason puts his gun away.
"Where are you heading?" Mason asks as he walks up to Casie with Tyler.
"West, at the moment." Casie replies. "And you?" Casie asks a little curious on where these brothers were heading.
"We're heading to Jackson County in Wyoming. We heard there was someplace safe and not in military control." Tyler explains.
"A sanctuary." Mason adds and Casie sighs. "You can join us." Mason offers and Casie sighs.
"I don't know." Casie said as she looks around.
"Come on." Mason said and Casie sighs.
'It's a plan at least and if things go wrong, I can go my own way.' Casie thought and looks at Mason. "Okay then, lead the way." Casie tells him and Mason chuckles.
"Great." Mason said and the trio heads off.
"Where is your last group?" Tyler asks.
"They headed north and I came here." Casie tells him. "That was a week ago, I think."
"Tyler." Mason said.
"Right, sorry." Tyler said and Casie sighs as she made sure her sleeves were down and her gloves weren't coming off. She couldn't afford for them to see a bite mark.
"Are you okay?" Mason asks a little worry.
"I'm fine." Casie replies.
"Just making sure." Mason said. "So this is the plan, if this is okay with you. We head to St. Louis in Missouri. From there we go west, through Kansas and Colorado, then get to Wyoming which is north from Colorado." Mason explains.
"You seem to know your way around." Casie said.
"I had an atlas, I figured everything out and wrote them down." Mason tells her.
"Smart." Casie whispers and sighs.
"What was your plan?" Mason asks.
"Just west." Casie replies. "There was no plan." Casie then admits softly.
"Let's hope we don't run into any infected." Tyler said.
"The infected isn't that big of a deal, it's the normal people you have to worry about. Bandits." Casie tells him.
"Yeah, she's right Tyler. You saw what happen to the group." Mason said.
"That was scary." Tyler whispers. "Why do people do that?" Tyler asks and Casie shakes her head.
"Survival, they don't care who they hurt." Casie replies.
"We just have to look out for each other." Mason tells them and Casie stops, looking back.
"What is it?" Mason asks as he stops and grabs Tyler to make him stop.
"I heard moaning." Casie replies, walking up to them. "Let's keep moving." Casie tells them
"Let's." Tyler said and they head off.
"So, where were you when this hit?" Mason asks.
"New York, they built a quarantine zone and I was there till I was 13." Casie replies.
"Why did you leave?" Mason asks and Casie sighs. "Sorry, that was too personal." Mason quickly said.
"It was." Casie whispers.
"Come on." Tyler said and Casie sighs.
"Maybe when we got to know each other more, you let us know." Mason said.
"Maybe." Casie whispers. The trio walked for hours, Mason took point with Tyler behind him and Casie walking at the back
"How long do you think it will take to get to St. Louis?" Tyler asks.
"A couple of days." Mason replies and Casie sighs as she shacks her head. It is going to be a long day. "How are you holding up back there?" Mason asks.
"Let's just get out of here." Casie replies.
"Can we find a car?" Tyler asks.
"There is no way in hell that there could be a working car, lying around." Mason tells him.
"Do you hear that?" Tyler asks as they stop.
"Gunshots." Casie said.
"Meaning we have to get off the street." Mason tells them as he runs into an apartment building. Casie and Tyler weren't too far behind him. Mason and Casie then blocks the door with anything they could and they headed upstairs.
"We better look around for any supplies." Casie tells them.
"Right." Mason said. The split up, Mason and Tyler went up to the next level and Casie looks on the first. Casie slowly went through the rooms, there wasn't much there. Some old rags, clothes, pictures. Casie then stops at a picture of a family and picks it up.
'They looked so happy.' Casie thought and sighs as she sits it down. Then a Stalker comes out from the room and chargers at Casie. Casie pulls out her handgun and shoots it in the head. The Stalker drops and Casie sighs as she shacks her head. 'Damnit, why did I let my guard down?' Casie thought as she walks out. Then Mason and Tyler runs over and Casie puts her gun away.
"Are you okay?" Mason asks.
"Yeah, just a Stalker." Casie replies. "We better move." Casie adds.
"Come on." Mason said and they headed down stairs. They found the back exit and headed back on track. Casie looks at the sky, the sun was high. Casie shacks her head and realize she has fallen behind a bit so she jogs to catch up. "Are you ok?" Mason asks worried.
"Yeah, don't worry about me." Casie replies and Mason sighs.
"So when we get to Jackson County, do you think they will take us in?" Tyler asks.
"I'm sure they will." Mason said.
"We'll worry about that when we get there." Casie tells them.
"Good idea, we have enough to worry about now." Mason said and Casie sighs.
"Right." Casie whispers. They headed out of Nashville and headed north. After spending hours walking they came to a town called Springfield. Like any town, it was abandoned. It was getting dark.
"We need a place to rest." Mason said and Casie looks at him.
"We do." Casie whispers. They stop at the first house they came to, they went in and scan. They then bordered up all the windows, back and front door and got settled.
"We better get some rest." Mason tells them.
"Talk to you two in the morning." Casie said walking off to calm a room for herself. She walks into one, it was small. It had a double bed, two bedside table and six drawer dresser. Casie closes the door and takes a deep breath as she walks over to the dresser and sits her stuff down. She then grabs something to eat and drink. She didn't have much left. She goes to take her scarf off but stops when she heard a knock at the door. Casie sighs as she walks over and opens it to see Mason. "Hey." Casie whispers
"Are you feeling okay?" Mason asks worry.
"Yeah, just tired." Casie said.
"Well, the plan is to leave as soon as we can, are you up for that?" Mason asks.
"Just knock to wake me up but don't come in." Casie tells him.
"Okay." Mason said. "Why?" Mason asks worry.
"It doesn't matter why Mason." Casie tells him and Mason nods. "Thanks." Casie whispers.
"Well get some rest, we have a big day tomorrow." Mason said walking off and Casie closes the door. She then walks back to her stuff and takes her scarf and gloves off. She looks at her left hand, seeing the bite mark. She then saw a mirror on the ground so Casie walks over and picks it up. It was cracked, but she could see the six year old bite mark on her neck. Casie sighs as she sits the mirror down and walks back to her stuff. She then grabs her hand gun and walks over to the bed. She then lies down on her side and puts her gun on the bedside table. With a yawn, Casie closes her eyes and tries to get some sleep. There will be a lot more walking to do tomorrow.
