Velius tilts his head before glancing at Luna and shrugging. She whines softly before perking and starting to growl, glaring at something on the other side of the shop. She barks lowly, the hairs on her silly but dirty back bristling with anger and fear. Instantly, Velius grabbed his gun, his eyes searching the growing dark. "Mate. I'd recommend moving." He nudged his head to the side before taking a wary step forward, his breathing low and panicked. He gulps softly before glancing at Luna. Her eyes were locked on something in the shadows and he didn't like it. He couldn't see what his dog was seeing.
(Hey guys I might not be on in a few days so I won't be able to continue for the time being, but I'll be back, just don't know when though sorry)
Jen flinches when Velius goes to grab his gun. Instinctively he reaches for his own as well and turns around, stepping aside in the process. His eyes scan the area for any possible threats. "What is it? The Infected?" Jen slightly whispers with an awfully calm voice as if he had everything under control.
Luna barks sharply and Velius tenses, hearing a faint and bone chilling, electrifying moan. He didn't ease. It sounded like one. But he couldn't be sure. He takes a deep breath. "Luna." He orders softly. Luna keeps her eyes trained on the dark.
"Nope, that's it." Jen, with his gun in hand, walks towards the darkness slowly. He glances back at Velius, but as soon as he got close enough he saw the infecfed, a total of three coming their way and a few a bit far behind them. Maybe they had made too much noise and had attracted them to the place. Jen curses, he had planed to stay but now he had to fight more of these freaks.
Velius gulps lowly. He nods to Luna who walks beside Jen. Velius takes a wider birth, going by the side to see how many there were. All together about five. He takes aim with his sniper and nails one in the head. The infected stop moving, growling and shrieking. He swears softly.
As soon as Jen sees Velius take aim at one and sees that the others went wack, he wastes no time and drops his Remington, whipping out his metal baseball bat. He charges head on like an idiot towards the rest of the infected and swings his bat surprisingly accurate to their weak points. He takes down three of them before getting caught up with the last one, having slowed down to catch his breath.
Velius shot down one, impressed with Jens guts. He whistles sharply and Luna barks. He brushes some hair from his, before seeing one of the infected going for Jen from the behind. The bullet roars through the air and bullseye. He looks around, no more. He leaps down from his spot. "You alright?" He asks, setting a hand on Lunas head as he looks over the other.
After struggling with the last one, which Vel had shot down, Jen groans loudly and falls back in a sitting position, looking at the infected around him. "Yeah, yeah, I'm cool. Just need a minute to catch a break" After a few minutes of silence he looks up at Veilus. "That was really cool, your aim was on point, props to you man" Jen was genuinely impressed with the guy.
"When you've been shooting since you were six, you learn a few tricks." He places his sniper on his back before glancing at Jen. "You're not to shabby yourself with that bat of yours." He chuckles softly. He offers his hand to Jen, smiling genuinely. Luna wags her tail and she barked in agreement. "Good girl Luna." He hand her a small bit of meat.
Jen side smiles and shakes his head, the way he charged in there was kinda reckless but nonetheless, he enjoyed it. He grabs Velius' hand and steadies himself as he's pulled up. He dusts his jeans and glances at Luna. "I like your pet, don't see one of those around here too often" He jokes. "So, where are you headin' from here? Is there a specific place you're heading or are you wandering around aimlessly like me?" The only reason Jen had said he was wandering around aimlessly was because he wasn't sure if he wanted to go back to his parent's house. The more he thought about it the more anxious and stressed he got, just thinking about the possibility of finding his sister turned into an infected zombie-like thing.
""I found her when she was a pup. She's been with me ever since." He chuckles, patting her head. "Course, I didn't know she was a wolf at the time." Luna nuzzles her snout into his hand. He chuckles. "She's helped me a lot." He glances at Jen. "Wandering. I'm trying to survive best I can." His blue eyes glint lightly. He was a very mellow person, seeming rather at ease. He glances at the sky, "but I do know where I need to go. The north. It's supposed to be safer then here."
Victory listened to the fight going on outside, not surprised or confused at all. She sighed and shoved the piece of wire that she was playing with back in her pocket before picking her gun up and petting Winnie softly. "C'mon girl, let's go check out the damage.." She stood up and her dog woke up, following after her as she walked out of the store.
Luna perked and barked again, before whining softly. Velius looks up, his sniper ready. But Luna begins to wags her tail, looking rather excited as she trots to where Winnie and Victory where. He glances at Jen before looking at Victory. "Infected or Safe?" He calls.
Winnie barked happily, her tail wagging as she walks over to Luna. "Safe," she called to the new person, walking over with her hands resting on her gun. She was ready to shoot but tried to act like she was completely calm.
Jen smiles warmly. "Must be nice to have a companion, you'll never be truly alone" He watches Velius pat Luna, also listening to what he has to say. "Yeah, the south sounds great…" He trails off as he sees Victory come out of the store with her dog, he looks away.
She stopped a few feet away from Jen and Velius, smiling at them and letting Winnie wander off. She made sure the safety on her gun was on before putting it away and nodding at the two. "I don't think I've introduced myself, I'm Victory," She pointed at Winnie and smiled happily "And that is my trusty sidekick Winnie."
"Velius Bloodstone. Just call me V." He says, raising a brow as he hauls his sniper over his shoulder. "And that's Luna, my companion." He glances at Winnie and Luna. Luna was sniffing curiously at Winnie as her tail wagged. He glances at Jen was a slight smile.
Winnie's tail wagged faster and she sniffed at Luna. Victory nodded and watched her dog carefully, making sure that he wasn't going to get hurt by Velius' wolf. "Any plans?" She asked, tapping her foot and taking off her backpack to grab some food.
"and I'm Jen" Jenester mutters silently as he put his metal baseball bat back in its place. He looks at Velius right when he had glanced at him and smiled but he quickly averted his eyes, walking away flustered while cursing under his breath. Also leaving Velius to talk with Victory. Jen grabs his gun and checks it for the hundredth time that day since he had nothing to do.
"I'm heading north. I'm hoping to at least catch up with my cousin. But. We lost communication after a storm. We agreed to meet up somewhere along the border of America and Canada on the Middle east side." Velius shrugs before whistling sharply. Luna perks and walks to his side. He pets the top of her head. "You're welcome to join us." He shrugs. "That goes for you as well, Jen." He calls over to the other male. He could have sworn he saw pink on the others cheeks, but it was dark and he wasn't so sure. "Better to travel in groups, right?" He chuckles.
Victory shrugged, "I have nothing better to do, count me in." She clicked her tongue and Winnie trotted over to her, her tail wagging easily. She swung her backpack onto her back and nodded "I'm ready to go, hopefully before night hits and all of the wonderful infected come out,"
Jen accidentally drops a few bullets he was recharging onto his gun when he hears Velius call out to him. "Fuck." He says scrambling to pick up the fallen bullets, then looks over at the others. "Oh, yeah, sure, I'm down. As long as we can pass by my parent's house…I have some…unfinished business." He hesitates but keeps his sentence simple and short.
Velius nods and sets a hand on his hip. "Sounds good." He watches the other for a moment before glancing at Victory. "You need to make any stops as well?" He asks curiously. He himself didn't, but he figured he might as well ask.
"Nope," She shook her head and watched the others carefully, not completely on board with the idea of traveling with two strangers. She shrugged the thought away, focusing on the fact that they were going to a safer place instead of the fact that it was two guys and herself.
Jen nods, fixing his mess then throwing on his backpack that he had taken off in the process. "So when do we leave? Right now? Or are we gonna spend the night in the gas station?" He said shifting his weight onto his other leg.
