Thread: Never Safe (randomname98766789 and Galaxie)

He... He wasn't going to untie her!? What in the world had made these people decide to put her of all people in the zip ties. Sure, the thought of him having her tied up was usually something that got her going but this ? This was not what she meant by that. There was nothing she could do but trust him, though, and when she was lifted up and thrown over his shoulder she tried not to panic. She wanted to protest but couldn't for multiple reasons - one, there was just no way to free her and two, the cloth gag that sealed her mouth muffled any attempt at speaking that she tried to make. In any other situation, having him tie her up and throw her over his shoulder would have been so so hot but this was not one of those situations, and it definitely was not the time to think about that. The group moved fast and a year ago, she probably would have thrown up when she caught sight of a skinned and gutted human torso as they rushed through the compound in an attempt to clear a path out. This was a bumpy ride no matter how securely he held her, but hopefully it would be over soon. Not only was she vulnerable and of no use at the moment, she was taking Jack out of commission by needing his aid like this. The others would make sure nothing went down, though. As good as we can be I guess, Adrian returned with an awkward shrug of her shoulders. Though Tara's tone held nothing but concern despite the obvious shock the woman was in, it was still strange to talk about. Actually, she couldn't believe that she'd just ranted to a stranger like that. Megan was coming around, still unspeaking but she shared a glance with Adrian that said she was going to try not to let this place be the end for her. Sure, Adrian had just lost someone close to her but she'd never had kids - never planned to either, given that she'd never had much interest in men outside of a very short-lived relationship she'd had back when she was fourteen. Everyone worked away, trying to find or make the best weapons that they could before the others returned. Megan had found a piece of the wooden inner framing that had begun to split from the wall. Adrian had been trying to avoid eavesdropping or asking questions about the scene that went down next, which she observed from her spot at the back of the car between a still shook up Tara and the slowly coming back to life Megan. Obviously though, given the close quarters, it was impossible for her to not hear when everyone went silent and the man with a mullet began talking about a cure and fighting fire with fire. As expected, Adrian didn't quite know what was being talked about - and it seemed like the others didn't seem to have any more knowledge than she did either. A cure, huh? When Tara addressed her, she sounded sceptical at best but the soft look in her eyes said that she was grateful to Tara for letting her in to the loop. I mean, you're right, that sounds nuts, but- Unless Eugene died here, which Adrian really had to stop thinking about. Everyone else was... so hopeful, in a very trying not to get my hopes up kind of way. If anywhere was going to have a cure, it would be Washington on the CDC - but Adrian was unaware that the CDC had become a bust a long, long time ago. It was lucky that these people had found the right person, then. You know, Aid, if you're going to make new friends you should at least introduce them. Beside Adrian, another voice interrupted the air this time, and the blonde who had so far been mute and lifeless was the owner. She sounded deadpan and depressed, but that was the closest thing to their normal witty banter that Adrian had gotten since she arrived here. Megan handed off a narrow piece of wood, just long enough to grasp comfortably and still have enough of the pointed tip to ran through the side of a walker's skull. She nodded to Tara, and then passed another longer piece on to Adrian. Outside of the boxcar, the group was advancing on the car with their friends inside of it. As the last of the Terminus gunmen walked by, Rick had subdued him, shot him and taken his gun. Now armed, the others were brought down and a mad dash towards the car was made. They had to move fast - they were surrounded on every side by walkers and more were coming with every minute that passed. They were too vulnerable inside of these walls, but they couldn't leave their group behind. After handing off the first wooden shiv to Tara, Adrian's fingers drummed against the length of the second piece. She didn't take a strong hold on it until she saw that Megan had kept one of her own, and her mouth had just begun to open and do a quick introduction when the door to the car was ripped open. The one man, the leader, Rick, ordered everyone to get out and run for the fences, and just outside Daryl and Bob were taking down as many of the beasts as they could to keep everyone safe while everyone unloaded the car. Adrian clambered to her feet as fast as she could and pulled Megan up as well. Beth, of course with Jack give the, er, tie up, were the first over the fence and in to safety. Come on! Adrian yelled, going back to help Tara up before she took Megan by the hand and raced to leave the car. From their position in the back, they were the last to get out but the path seemed almost clear. Almost - they'd missed sight of the walker that was approaching from the side of the car, and faster than Adrian could react, it's teeth were buried in to Megan's shoulder. The thing's brain was pierced just a moment, just a millisecond too late - and when it fell to the ground, the fall tried to take Megan with it. Megan! She screamed, loud and shrill, as the blonde released her hand. No, no, this wasn't happening. No, not again. Not again. Not right after... No. The blood rushed out of Adrian's face and she felt weak, like she was going to faint, and she froze in position. Walkers were coming from all directions, though - she would be dead undead meat if she didn't move and fast.
