Hannah was on chapter four when she heard a loud banging noise coming from outside the mall. Is that the wave she thinks, It can't be, it's too early.

(Cool. Thanks!)
Livia startled awake when Jacob shook her. She was mildly irritated at first, but as she figured out what was going on, she was motivated to quickly get to her feet.
“Where should we go? There’s not a whole lot of shelter around here, is there?”

Olivia stood up and looked to Jacob, Hooty was sitting in her shoulder preening himself.

Barrow is looking out the window when the other Roamers start gathering their things. Sighing, the rather large man kneels next to his companion, a wolfish dog. "C'mon Doll, wake up. We gotta be moving soon." With a stretch the beast grumbles lowly, before shaking itself off.

Jacob pulled out his map, although it was a little outdated. "It seems Bar Harbor is about 32 miles north. So let's get moving because the land is desolate until we get to the town." He loaded his gun, and handed it to Livia. "I got my trusty dagger." Jacob twirled the rusty knife in his hand, before placing it back into his knife holster. "Everyone, look through the house one more time. If you find anything useful, bring it down. We won't be stopping for 32 miles. And we should stock up on some water. Don't step out of this house without me, you hear me? Turn on your radios, and call in if you see anything strange. Meet back here at 9." Jacob's voice echoed through the room, deep and serious.

Olivia whistles and wolf comes running. She she whistles a low note and hooty flies up looking for any trouble. She walks around the house picking up rusty spoons and broken hangers. She picked up some old toys and shoved them in her bag as well. Anything could be used as a weapons nowadays. She found some bottles and quickly washed them then put water inside each one. Counting 4meduim sized water bottles and 1 big one, she put them in her bag and heard Hooty Screech. She ran back and yells “Hooty alerted me of trouble! Also I have water.” She loaded her rifle and twanged her bow string.

Jacob finishes filling his flask with the brownish water from the faucet. He puts his mouth under the faucet, gulping the last drops of the water source. He wipes his lips with his hand and heads to Olivia."What do you see?"

Cammie was annoyed and a bit worried, already? She pulled herself out of her cot before changing and arming herself. A voice came on the intercom, which was Jacobs. She scavengerd around and was satisfied before finding Jacob.

“One second.” She replied. She whistles a high note and goofy screeched back a low note “well according to hooty there are about 6 unknown things, probably affected from the low moaning sounds I hear. What do we do boss?” She asked

Livia searched through the house, and she picked up what little supplies she could find. A set of needles and thread sat on a rocking chair in a bedroom in the back of the house, and she took what she believed could be useful for any necessary clothing repairs. She stared at the walls, which were wallpapered with floral patterns and adorned with a few cross-stitched images, which must have been produced with those very needles. Livia opened a few drawers to find some jewelry that she figured may have some monetary value. She stashed that in her bag, then kept scavenging. In another drawer, she found a hatchet and a pocketknife, both tinged brown with rust. They would have to do. Livia put them away, and as soon as she was sure she had done all the necessary looting, she returned to where Jacob and the others were.

"Probably just beds for some Phase 2 Affected. Let's get moving." Jacob sneered as he looked out towards the vast land ahead. He took one step and slashed to his left. An Affected, it's pale, thin structure broken from the hit. Jacob stabbed it once more, and the life, well if you could call it a life, was gone. Jacob spit on the body and turned to the others. "Watch out."

Livia pulled out the gun Jacob had given her. "Yeah, sure. I'll try."
She shuddered a little at the sight of the Affected. Livia was unsure why it still bothered her so much, but still she kept walking, on high alert. Her heart was pounding.
"How long do you think until the next wave? I'm assuming we have just enough time to get where we're going."

"Well it is 9:30. So about 14 hours till midnight." Jacob took a deep breath, moving one foot in front of the other.

"Thirty-two miles in fourteen hours? How the hell…? Never mind, let's just go." Livia picked up the pace, lengthening her stride. "We sure can't afford to hit any setbacks."

Olivia whistles for hooty and he flew up into the sky. She drew her bow and loaded a broken hanger into it waiting for any sign of trouble

Barrow follows the group, taking his usual position at the very back. Scanning the wasteland, he hears the others wondering how they will be able to walk to the next safe zone in that amount of time. With a shrug, he gives his input. "Given our usual mile speed of 20 minutes, we theoretically could make 42 miles in 14 hours, but that is without breaks or distractions." After his piece he brushes his hand along Doll's fur, before she darts ahead to check on the group.

“Yes, I know. I don’t doubt we are able to do it, but it might be difficult. Hopefully the weather stays suitable.” Livia muttered. She crossed her arms.

“If anyone needs to sleep, wolf can carry them on his back! He is a wolf dog and tamed by me” Olivia replied.

Standing up, Hannah rushes to get dressed. If the wave was already coming, that meant that everyone would have to meet up in the stores they were assigned to in the mall. Hannah's store was Hot Topic. She had to get there and go through roll call so no one would suspect anything. Rushing to the store Hannah said here when her name was called, and sit down in a corner with her book, ready to sit through the wave.

Jacob trudges along, shielding his eyes from the blazing sun. He looks at the vultures surrounding animal carcasses that varied through the deserted land. If they didn't get killed from the Affected, they probably died from the heat. His eyes catch glimpse of a shimmer, and he kneels down to inspect the glint. As he digs through the sandy dirt, he finds the source. A dog tag. He looks at the metal, the engraving of a name. Dandy. He starts to pull the collar out, and jumps back. It is still connected to a skeleton. He shakes it off, walking away without a word about it.
