Thread: Surviving in Chaos. (Dies/Midnight)

At the woman's suggestion Crow felt around, he scavenged a couple bags from the traders, occasionally shifting them, listening for the sounds of ammunition and food in boxes. He found the shotgun carried by one of the traders and grabbed it, taking the clips from their weapons and placing them in his own bag as instructed. Crow would have to investigate what type of ammunition they were using later his own weapon was a nine millimeter pistol. It would be pointless to end up with forty-five rounds or even thirty-twos. Crow followed the woman through the hallways to where the rest of her group was waiting, were these people really going to take him to a safe place? Crow listened to the woman speak, offering him a place to stay until they found him a real place to stay. Crow turned towards the woman, touched by her kindness, a smile actually beginning to form on his lips. My name? I am- Crow was cut off by the terrifying screech of a Reaper spotting her prey. He looked in the direction of the creature, and though he couldnt see it, he could tell by the reactions of those around him that it was terrifying. The screech was horrible, but Crow showed little fear, the events happened far too quickly for him to react. He had been put in some kind of vehicle, and the woman that had saved him had yelled something about going to Eden. Crow stayed utterly quiet during this time, having drawn his own knees to his chest, resuming the position he had taken while he sat alone in the classroom. This time though he could hear other things, there were other people with him, though strangers. He could hear sobbing from some, yelling over the radio. Crow tried his best to keep calm in this situation despite the fact that he felt alone yet again. When they finally arrived at their destination, Eden as the woman had called it, Crow was moved from the vehicle to a house, there he sat down in a chair, along with the others, listening to them worry about the woman who had stayed behind to lure the reaper away from the main group, it was a heroic thing to do, but crow was more worried about the idea that he was now alone and among strangers. The young man made an effort to make himself as small as possible in his chair, listening to the survivors talking to each other, mostly about how idiotic she was for pulling a stunt like that. Crow couldnt seem so he didnt know how many eyes were actually on him, it took a moment before one of the survivors approached him. Hello A voice cut through the silence behind them. The voice was calm, rather gentle considering the situation that was occurring. Crow felt a warm hand touch his shoulder. The man who had touched him knelt before him. He had black hair that was tied back in a ponytail and was wearing an old white lab coat, a patch on his arm bearing a red cross gave him off as a medic. I am Doc, I am going to take a quick look at you and make sure you are all in one piece, alright? Crow nodded and the doctor smiled. I will make this quick, I just need to make sure you arent hurt. Though crow didnt feel hurt, he was so tired and hungry he might have been and he wouldnt notice. The doctor began his examination quickly, checking all of Crows vitals before using various instruments, that were very cold, to check other things. The checkup lasted only a few moments as the doctor had planned and the man hummed while he performed the examination. Crow didnt like being touched, but he seemed to know what he was doing. Once the doctor tried to couch his goggles however, crow reacted violently and wrenched his head away. Doc frowned, a little startled by the young mans reaction to his touching of his goggles, some people were picky about some things so he put little thought into it. -- Quite a while later, there was another commotion, Crow had fallen asleep briefly, feeling much safer than he did for the past few days, he didnt realize he was asleep until began dreaming. The commotion woke the young male up, people were talking, excited. The woman who had helped him out in the school building had returned! People had gathered about, the girl he had heard sobbing earlier was crying hard now, others were yelling shouts and insults her way. Crow lifted his head and focused in the direction he heard the clamor coming from, he didnt recognize most of the voices, having not interacted with any of Deltas crew. Crow did however straighten and listened to what went on. Outta my way, move it. Doc himself pushed his way through the crowd, the woman had faced a reaper and come back alive, that was no small feat. Hello Del, I am glad to see you in one piece Docs eyes moved down a little bit, and he noticed her bandanna. Mostly anyway The man approached her and examined her wound for her, carefully removing the makeshift bandage and applying gauze.. , hold still, Ill fix this up for you real quick. It was docs Job to keep the members of Eden in one piece, and he was good at it, he often accosted members returning from missions at the door like this, and his willingness to help had saved many lives. Doc would go to work, removing the makeshift bandage and cleaning the wound once he could, applying a new one, speaking while he did it. I took a look at the new arrival He said, He isnt really hurt, a couple scrapes and bruises, but we need to get some food in him, he looks he hadnt eaten in some time. Doc spoke while he worked on her injured arm, replacing her bandanna with a fresh bandage and spraying the wound with disinfectant. Once the doctor finished, he turned around and pointed to where Crow had been sitting, but he had stood, following the doctor's voice and had walked over to them, ignoring the other and accidentally bumping into at least one of them. Thanks for helping me back there Crow smiled a little. You asked my name earlier, Its Crow Doc looked at the young man, then at the woman. Crow had a lot of questions to ask, mostly as to where this place was.
