Thread: In the Apocalypse (Niksis x Serene)

Jonas considered this for a second or two before looking down at Alice, who in turn looked back up. Almost as if they had a silent conversation, the two eventually looked over at Kat. And while Jonas only offered a slight nod, still expecting the worst, Alice instead smiled and walked up and took Kat's hand. Nice to meet you, Kat! Following a few steps behind, Jonas spoke up Agreed, Motel is much better than out here. Granted, any place was better than being out at night. During the day, the Infected seemed more docile, less aggressive. However at night, that's where most of the attacks happened and everyone who braved the roads knew this. And judging from how rapidly it had turned dark, the night was only coming closer. Keeping to the shadows, or rather, keeping close to the buildings as to not have such a big profile, the group slowly made their way through the ruins and eventually reached the outskirts of the Motel. Keep your eyes open. It's impossible to say if others have had the same idea as us. Of course judging from how well Kat had handled herself back there, she had probably been on the road for a few years now, and as such, she probably already knew how to take care of herself. Regardless, the father and paramedic in Jonas had taken over, and while only temporary, for now, Kat was one of them. Slowly, they moved forward. Judging from sight, many of the rooms had already had it's door kicked down and looted. Jonas preferred to have a door in the room he was going to sleep, would make it easier to defend. Luckily, on the second story of the motel, Jonas spotted just such a room. Up there. he whispered to Kat as he motioned to the closed door. Being behind a locked door and on the second story, it would keep all but the most hungry or aggressive infected out. And should they get to the room, the door would act as a bottleneck. Stay here with Alice, I'll go check it out. You're in no position to fight if there's anyone there. He said, and while he really didn't have any place in ordering her about. It would be common sense. Sure, she was not dying. But straining herself would only aggravate the wound further, making it that much harder to mend. And with those words given, even if she does not heed them, Jonas pulled out his baseball bat and moved closer to the Motel. Slowly and with quiet steps he moved closer. Each step taken with as much care as one walking a minefield. One wrong step and he risked alerting any Infected or looters around. Something he'd much rather be without. Step by step he made his way closer until he eventually stood at the stairway leading up to the second story. And even here, he took careful steps as he ascended it. And when he finally reached the door he had spotted earlier, he took a gentle grip at the doorknob before turning it. Luckily, the door was unlocked and from what he could see, the insides were clear. Looking through the room inside, he saw two single beds and a small bathroom. It would have to do. he said softly to himself, content with what he had found Jonas looked over at the duo and waved them over silently. Staying where he was to keep and eye out in case anything moves that is not Alice or Kat.
