Thread: Don't Open: Dead Inside (1x1 between randomname98766789 and Iikaitlynii)

Traveling in the new world was far from safe anymore. Not only did one have to worry about walkers but they had to worry about other humans too. Many had to worry about the living and whether or not they were trustworthy or wanted to kill someone for what they had. It was those sort of reasons that caused Scarlett to end up on her own. It had been some months that she had managed to get by without a group and honestly she sometimes had no clue how she managed. There were many times where food was scarce and she was so tired that a safe shelter had to be found but all that could be done was taking things one day at a time. The one thing she had going for her was the fact of having enough ammo to last for awhile with her pistol and had a decent blade for when there was a need for silent kills. The dark haired woman had managed a few hours of sleep the night before and found herself on the move again. She was in some town now that was abandoned just like any others that one might pass through. At first she had rummaged through a couple of houses and managed to find a few canned goods, which was nice since food was so scarce to find. These days it was hard to say when someone would get their next meal. Everything was going fine at first. Only a few walkers were spotted here and there, which she took care of. But on the fourth house she began hearing noises outside that were clearly not from the dead. No it sounded like human voices which made her tense up immediately. The last time Scarlett had seen humans other than her group, those people had been the ones that were killing her people. So running into any just made her feel a sense of dread. At first it seemed like they were just going to walk right by, but she must have caused some commotion or movement inside the house which got their attention. With very little time to think, and not much in the way of hiding spaces, the only thing she could think to do was go upstairs into one of the bedrooms which was what she did. Either they would assume it was a walker, or she could climb out the window and carefully drop to the ground to get away. Either sounded fine by her since she wasn't exactly interested in finding out if they were good or bad people. If they weren't too good then she was only one person and didn't stand a chance, so it didn't seem worth the risk unless there was no other choice. --- Things had been slowly growing bleak ever since the fall of the prison. Not only was their home shattered and many loved ones killed but the group was now separated. Beth Greene found it hard to continue to remain hopeful about finding them the longer that time passed without running into another living being. After the death of her father and being separated from everyone else, she found the only bright spot to be the fact that Oliver had been the one to escape with her. So while she didn't have anyone else around, she still had him. In a way that made up for the fact that her sister was nowhere to be found. Oliver was the only other person she had known before the apocalypse started and had been her boyfriend for as long as they both could remember. He was her first in everything and she couldn't imagine ever loving anyone else more than him let alone the thought of them not being together. Being apart from the group was difficult at times. Primarily because it could be difficult finding food and water for survival. Somehow they managed well enough though. Beth wasn't sure how long it had been just the two of them before they were snatched away into some cars. They must have used something to put her to sleep because she didn't remember any of the car ride and also didn't remember being taken inside of a building. All the blonde knew was that she was waking up to find herself in an unfamiliar room. It looked like some sort of hospital room but she couldn't say for certain as it had been so long since she was in one, and the room looked to be a makeshift bedroom anyway. There was a second bed that looked to be used but wasn't at that particular moment. From what she could tell there was another small room aside from the door that led out into the hallway, so she assumed the other room might have been a bathroom. Oliver! The girl called out and hoped he was close by to hear. Barely had she looked around the room but knew he wasn't in there unless he was in the bathroom. She felt alone and out of her element which was why she was hoping it wasn't just her that had been brought to this unknown place. It seemed unlikely but she still felt a slight fear that it could've happened. If he was there then at least she would feel a little better about the situation. She had no clue about where she was or who the people were that brought her there, which bothered her greatly since the governor made her weary of humans that were still living. Many out there were not good anymore and couldn't be trusted. That could very well be the case here and she didn't want to face that alone. At least it was likely that they both were brought here, she thought, and did her best to keep some optimism despite bad things happening as of late
