He shook his head,
"no I didn't but I did see they were a her I think." He swallowed, his throat suddenly feeling extremely dry.
He moved to open the door, looking in the room and seeing the creature screaming in pain.
He winced at the screamers scream, but still moved forward to go towards Jess, arriving at her side quickly, and moving to pick her up seeing her hurt leg.
"Sorry this is sudden, but I believe this is the best course of action given our situation."
His steps made little to no noise as he held his knife in one hand, ready for if Jez needed help. He tried to make his way out of the room with Jess as Jez would distract the beast.

Background: she lived with her aunt, due to her parents dying by their car crashing into a lake, she spent all her time taking care of her little sister, because her aunt is was always working at the hospital.

Jesse looks around to a light coming from the doorway, no longer in pitch black darkness. She pushes herself up as he steps towards her, glaring hard, a streak of blood dripping across her face and into her eye. She swings out her machete, "don't touch me" she growls, her voice deep and scratchy as she huffs. Jesse spits out blood onto the floor as she looks over to Jezariah.
"wait don't touch her!" Jezariah exclaims "she's dangerous" he says stepping forward, making sure to keep an eye on the screamer. Though the second he took his eyes of the screamer and to Jesse, a shiver went down his spine as she glares at him, machete in hand and pointed towards Even.
"ya know what, we can let her die" he says quickly, the screamer already mad at Jesse. Jezariah could leave her with it and it would do everyone a favor.
Before he could think about it long enough, he feels a sharp pain and tug on his leg as he's pulled down to the ground by his own leg, his arms blocking his head from an injury though scraping up his elbows. His arms go numb from the sudden pain, coughing, trying to get air back into his lungs quick enough to react.

Elodie followed quietly, keeping her head down, she sat down, cross legged and kept her eyes away from everyone, when she first met these people she had confidence they were trust her but the way the girl; Jasper reacted was making her feel like a misfit for sure. Though she couldn't really blame them, they were scared and she was a stranger, though she was nice she was still a stranger.

"I think so but i'm not sure, I was asleep when she left blood loss makes you very tired apparently." She said with a soft smile, her hands resting in her lap.

(This was the last post from the interaction with gus, elodie and jasper)

At first, the girls were quiet, still examining the stranger. Then Josefine replied, “Well, you’re the one with the gun. You’re more of a threat than we are, I’d say.”
The two glanced at each other, and Sef lowered her bat. They didn’t have much supplies. There would be nothing to steal from them, not much to take advantage of, save for the things in their hands and maybe some leftover crackers. In this case, perhaps mutual trust would be beneficial.
“Are you alone?” Lyn asked. “May we ask who you are? Or would you prefer to remain anonymous?”

"We can't just let someone die! Besides If I didn't shut the door and lock her in here she wouldn't have gotten hurt!"
He yelled, probably louder then he intended to do it.
He through his hands up in defense. "Look, I just want to help you okay? If I can help you get out of here then I can go help Jez. I'm just trying to help."
He saw the blood dripping down her face and figured she might have gotten a concussion from being slammed into the ground by the screamer.
Or worse.
He turned to see Jez falling to the ground, "Jez!" He let out a yell before turning back to Jess.
"Please, if you won't let me help you then make your way out of the room and to safety."
He rushes over to Jez and tries to help him get back up.

Cassius looks he strangers over, "im alone" he replies, not answering their next question "is it just you two?" he asks, not daring to put the gun down just yet.
Ophelia peeks out from the rock, just enough to see two girls and her dad with a gun pointed towards them.
She didnt understand precautions that had to be taken when meeting new people in this world now.
Though she quickly tucked her head back behind the rock, trying to listen to their conversation.
why did he lie to them? she thought to herself, trying to figure it out.
Cass takes a step towards them, gun still pointed at them, waiting for them to answer his question.

Jesse sighs, glaring at Jezariah as he struggled to not be eaten alive by the screamer.
She wanted nothing more than to let him die right there, watching the life in his eyes fade as fear took over. She watches for a second as he claws at the screamers body, its skin getting stuck underneath his nails, trying to get away.
"verdammt" she curses, "do not touch me. we kill it and help him. you touch me, both of you die" she says harshly, "we take advantage of distraction." she says before stepping towards the screamer and stabbing it.
he has supplies and information i want. i need him alive….unfortunately
she drags the blade down through its thin ribs, cracking them as much as she can before it unlatches its claws from Jez's leg and snaps its jaws towards Jesse.
Jez finally catches his breath and looks up to Evan, "stab her" he mouths, not able to actually speak through his heavy gasps for air.

Instinctively, Sef pulled Lyn behind her. She didn’t raise the bat again, but the stranger still had his gun raised and she wanted her friend out of harm’s way if something happened.
“It’s just us,” she said. She felt Lyn grip the neckline of her shirt. She then felt another hand reaching for hers, and she took it. They squeezed each other’s hands as a way to keep calm. It was just as well; both girls could feel their hearts quickening.

Cass lowers his gun, though still ready to fire at them if they tried anything. He hopes to god they didnt. It would be nice to have some company.
"where are you guys going?" he asks, his heart beating hard against his chest. He could hear his pulse in his ears.
He could never be too sure trusting someone when he has an 8 yr old daughter to protect.

“The next town from here.” Sef’s voice wavered a little, but it was firm and for the most part, confident. Her and Lyn’s hands were still clasped together, though there was some easing feeling in them when the man lowered the gun.
(Sorry these are short)

(lol youre fine. as long as youre giving me something to work with youre good)
Cass sighs, holstering his gun "you killed anyone?" he asks, still keeping his hand on the gun on his side.
With asking this he can know what kind of people they were. Most that havent killed are more prone to panic, and seen as weak. At least in his experience. If they have, he would ask why. The reason for taking anothers life is the deciding factor on whether or not he could let them in. Not trust though. There could always be reasons to lie about this question.

Jesse sighs, glaring at Jezariah as he struggled to not be eaten alive by the screamer.
She wanted nothing more than to let him die right there, watching the life in his eyes fade as fear took over. She watches for a second as he claws at the screamers body, its skin getting stuck underneath his nails, trying to get away.

Jez finally catches his breath and looks up to Evan, "stab her" he mouths, not able to actually speak through his heavy gasps for air.

Evan exhaled as Jessie decided to help them, he watched as she stabbed the blade through the screamer and dragged it down the back, hearing the ribs cracking.
He saw what Jez mouthed and quickly shook his head.
He moved to help Jez up and lean him against the wall before mouthing back to him.
"I could never" in a very panicked face. He turned to see the creature snap at Jessie and he moved to try and stab at its head from behind, digging it as far in as he could and hope it didn't get stuck when he tried to pull it out. He had to help the lady somehow.

At first, they were confused. Did he mean humans, or nonhumans? Both? The answer was complicated. Josephine was usually the one who dealt the most violence on anything or anyone who was after them. Reapers, obviously, had to be taken care of quickly. She had succeeded in killing only two of them, and both times were by the skin of her teeth. She still bore the scars on her back, and knew they would never fade. As for humans… well. They were only two young girls, out on their own. They had both agreed to always try to negotiate with other humans first, as there was a low chance they could win in a fight anyway. But of course, there were times where peace could not stay intact, or peace was never forged in the first place.
“No,” Josefine replied. “At least, I don’t think so.”

Jesse stumbled back, her back slamming against the wall as she, as well, tries to catch her breath.
Cracking her knuckles, she goes to stab it one more time, aiming to severe the head. Though it lashes back in pain, letting out more of a yelp than a scream this time.
"hold it there" she shouts over its sounds, her ears ringing.
She takes the machete, hacking at its neck as its head was pulled back. A few more hacks and it would be down. But not dead.
Jezariah rolls his eyes, getting up and getting his gun out. Jesse's eyes snap to him as shes hacking at the creature, its limbs flailing about. "no gun!" she yells "it vill attract more. put it away" she says, swinging the machete once again, trying to keep its attention towards her instead of the boys.
Jezariah keeps his gun up, pointed at Jesse.
once the screamers down, ill shoot her. Not killing her but immobilizing her. he thinks to himself.

Cass takes his hand off the holster "you try anything, i will kill you" he says before turning his head just a little bit "you can come out Fia" he calls over to his daughter.
He kept his eyes on the two girls as he waits for his daughter to step out.
Ophelia peeks her head out again, noticing his gun was gone and the tension had gone down a bit. Though not understanding why it was there in the first place.
She steps out of the water under the bridge, her little feet sloshing through it as she timidly walks over to Cass. Her skin just a bit lighter than her fathers, her hair a dark curly brown with matching braids.
Cass holds out his hand for her to hold, in which she does. Kind of… she grabs his pinky finger with her whole hand, pressing herself against him.
"im Cassius. This is Ophelia" he says, his glare still there but softer than before, as was his voice.

Lyn ventured out from behind Josefine, both pairs of eyes immediately locking on the child as she walked up. So the stranger had lied about being alone, but for good reason. Lyn couldn’t help but smile at the girl; she was adorable.
“I’m Josefine.” She raised a hand as a simple greeting.
“I’m Lyn.” The smile faded as the other girl spoke, but her expression had gone from nervousness tension to a careful ease.

Evan turned to look at Jez and saw the gun, he looked at Jez and stared him down.
don't shoot her.
His stare was firm, he meant business. He turned back to focus on the screamer, holding it in place as Jessie hacked away at the screamers neck. He made sure to hold on all the way until the head was all the way off. Once it was he pulled away almost immediately and made sure that the screamer couldn't claw at Jessie or himself.
He shuddered slightly as he stared at the screamer.

Cass looks down to Ophelia as she looks the girls over. He knew how badly she wanted a friend other than her father. But he didnt know how trustworthy these girls were.
Ophelia smiles just a little "are you going to try to hurt us?" she asks them, wanting to step forward but her father kept her in place. Which this was something she did understand.
(sorry for the short response)

Jesse swings hard at the screamers neck, hacking it off as its head became heavy and fell to the ground with a gross, smack sound, its eyes rolling into the back of its head.
Its jaws snapped a few times before the life left if body. At least for now.
"Its paralyzed for a few hours. Not dead" Jesse says, going to drop her machete in exhaustion before her eyes flicked to Jezariah.
"you vant to shoot me?" she says with a laugh
Jez looks to Evan then back to Jesse "give me a reason not to then we'll talk." he says

"No one is shooting anyone." Evan walked over to jez and put his hand on the gun, slowly pushing it down.
"We can be calm about this, no need for anyone to get hurt more then necessary."
He made sure the gun was pointed away from everyone, he wasn't gonna take the gun away from Jez since that wasn't his place.
It was Also jez's gun.
"We should be leaving, the screamer could attracted some to this area and shooting a a gun will make things worse.'
He really hoped they would listen to him. They were both hurt.

Jez looks at Evan, breathing hard and his eyes wide, not wanting to, but letting him push the gun down.
He lets the hammer click back, holstering it. "consider yourself lucky" he tells Jesse. In which she only chuckles, spitting more blood on the ground.
"up yours" she says with a cock of her head, sliding to the ground and ripping a long piece of her flannel off, tying it around her leg, throwing a piece to Evan for him to help Jez. She sure wasnt about to do it.
"your veapons and supplies. give them to me and i vont kill you" she says confidently

(Np my dude!)

“No, we‘re not going to hurt you,” Lyn said. She looked almost saddened by the question. Josefine let out a breath and looked between them, then looked to Lyn. “We… we were just passing through… but we have been traveling for a while now.” Her bat rested against her leg. “You look like you live here though, so perhaps we can take shelter where you live?”
Lyn then put a hand on her shoulder. “Que?” Her brow was furrowed, and she shook her head. “We can’t ask that.”
”Por quê?”
Lyn turned her away from the others, and lowered her voice. “We can’t. We barely know anything about each other. Besides, we can go one more without food, right?”
Sef grumbled faintly. “Maybe, but then we won’t have a lot of energy when we reach town…”
“Look, I’m sure there’s a granola bar in here somewhere,” Lyn said, gesturing to the backpack. Sef raised an eyebrow.

He catches the flannel, a frown never leaving his face as he wraps the flannel around jez's leg tightly to stop the blood flow from his injury.
He sighed softly, only partially hearing the threats from behind him.
why can't people just get along..
He turns to Jess
"Can you at least tell us why you need it so badly?"

Ophelia smiles, "we have food for you! Come stay the night" she offers kindly
Cass sighs, not particularly wanting to agree with her.
"sure" he shrugs " we have a farmhouse nearby. you can stay with us" he says softly.
I'm not going to get any sleep tonight while they're here. plus feeding 4 is different than feeding only two. How are we gonna make this work? he thought to himself, not realizing what a blessing this could be for them.

Jez winces in pain as Evan helps his wound, his whole body tenses up as he does so.
"no we're not giving it to her. i dont care what its for" he says angrily.
Jesse pulls out her gun, pointing it to the back of Evans head. "a friend is in danger. she needs medical attention. you dont give me your things, i shoot him dead" she says.
