"'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake, Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger..."

"Yo, zombie jerks, look at me!" A female voice echoed across the parking lot of a convenience store causing every lumbering body to jerk their heads up with yellow eyes filled with anger, as if the voice calling out was an interruption of their thoughts. 'Too bad they don't have any.' A young woman knelt on the roof of a nearby superstore, her short hair rustling gently with the wind as they growled, moaned, and moved forward to where the call had originated from. The woman was startled as well at the voice but it was almost a relief as she saw four people come from the side of the convenience store, bags loaded with food and water. She grinned slowly, not wanting to bring attention to herself, but got her sight ready to help pick off zombies. The woman who had called out was on the other side of the store, obviously a distraction for the others to book it out of there.

'Time to kill some zombies.' The young woman grinned, raising her sniper rifle up to her shoulder to look through the sight, her focus moving between the two groups as the zombies began running toward the woman. The young woman knew of the special kinds of zombies, the one with the long tongue was bound to be around there somewhere, so she raised her sights to check out roofs and windows as the people below her scattered.

"Ah. Got you." She kept her sight on the zombie as it hacked and sent out its tongue, wrapping around the woman who was running to pull her closer to it. She chose this moment to fire once letting a grin spread across her face as a burst of smoke came forward and the woman dropped. A confused expression developed on her face as she looked about, then settled her eyes on the young woman on the roof. Unfortunately so did several of the zombies. "Shit." She muttered, running for the ladder on the side of the building while abandoning the snipe for an assault rifle. She checked for her pistols and a knife that fit nicely in her belt, then slid down before the zombies could rush forward to stop her from climbing down.

"Well, let's get goin'!" She yelled out to the other woman, who shot off several rounds into the zombies that were continuing to come, her dark hair and dark skin glinting lightly with sweat and blood. "I'm Kalia, nice to meet you. Though now's not the time for an introduction." The young woman spoke, her green eyes flicking to the woman who had caught up to her. They both began running towards the safe house towards the darker skinned woman's friends.

"I'm Rochelle. Thanks for saving me." The woman moved her warm brown eyes to Kalia, a grin breaking across her face as they shot several zombies running at them from behind and beside.
"SHIT! Spitter!" One of the males in front of them, wearing a white suite yelled out. Though Kalia wasn't certain where in the world they had gotten their terms for the zombies, she knew which one he was talking about. She moved her pistols in the direction they were shooting at, grinning as one of them shot at the zombie that was leaking acid from her mouth. She shot towards it but the zombie dropped in a heap of sizzling acid and rotting flesh as one of the men standing in the doorway of the safe house took it down with a hunting rifle.

"Nice one!" She yelled out as she ran with Rochelle toward the safe house while it's door coming closer into view became a sign of relief. However, as they neared the two of them neared their destination a low growling could be heard. "Fuck! Cat!" Kalia was sure that the others had no clue of what exactly she spoke of but the heavier set male quickly caught on and began to shoot towards the leaping figure that was coming all the closer to them. It let out a howl as it was hit in mid air, the body dropping from the high point it had reached. As the two women got closer, the three men moved out of the way allowing them to enter then shutting and barring the door with smiles of relief.

"Nice shooting out there." The male in the white suit said to the heavier, dark male. The male nodded then moved his gaze toward Kalia. She moved her own gaze over the team of four and slowly began to smile. "I suppose it's time for proper introductions."
