"Probably just beds for some Phase 2 Affected. Let's get moving." Jacob sneered as he looked out towards the vast land ahead. He took one step and slashed to his left. An Affected, it's pale, thin structure broken from the hit. Jacob stabbed it once more, and the life, well if you could call it a life, was gone. Jacob spit on the body and turned to the others. "Watch out."

Livia pulled out the gun Jacob had given her. "Yeah, sure. I'll try."
She shuddered a little at the sight of the Affected. Livia was unsure why it still bothered her so much, but still she kept walking, on high alert. Her heart was pounding.
"How long do you think until the next wave? I'm assuming we have just enough time to get where we're going."
"Well it is 9:30. So about 14 hours till midnight." Jacob took a deep breath, moving one foot in front of the other.
"Thirty-two miles in fourteen hours? How the hell…? Never mind, let's just go." Livia picked up the pace, lengthening her stride. "We sure can't afford to hit any setbacks."
Olivia whistles for hooty and he flew up into the sky. She drew her bow and loaded a broken hanger into it waiting for any sign of trouble
Barrow follows the group, taking his usual position at the very back. Scanning the wasteland, he hears the others wondering how they will be able to walk to the next safe zone in that amount of time. With a shrug, he gives his input. "Given our usual mile speed of 20 minutes, we theoretically could make 42 miles in 14 hours, but that is without breaks or distractions." After his piece he brushes his hand along Doll's fur, before she darts ahead to check on the group.
“Yes, I know. I don’t doubt we are able to do it, but it might be difficult. Hopefully the weather stays suitable.” Livia muttered. She crossed her arms.
“If anyone needs to sleep, wolf can carry them on his back! He is a wolf dog and tamed by me” Olivia replied.
Standing up, Hannah rushes to get dressed. If the wave was already coming, that meant that everyone would have to meet up in the stores they were assigned to in the mall. Hannah's store was Hot Topic. She had to get there and go through roll call so no one would suspect anything. Rushing to the store Hannah said here when her name was called, and sit down in a corner with her book, ready to sit through the wave.

Jacob trudges along, shielding his eyes from the blazing sun. He looks at the vultures surrounding animal carcasses that varied through the deserted land. If they didn't get killed from the Affected, they probably died from the heat. His eyes catch glimpse of a shimmer, and he kneels down to inspect the glint. As he digs through the sandy dirt, he finds the source. A dog tag. He looks at the metal, the engraving of a name. Dandy. He starts to pull the collar out, and jumps back. It is still connected to a skeleton. He shakes it off, walking away without a word about it.

Jacob looked at Melody, who seemed dehydrated. "Here take some of mine," he grabbed his almost-empty flask from his pack and tossed it to Melody.
"Oh, thanks." she said. "You okay?"
(So which should she be? Roamer or Civilian. And how can I join in?)
(@The Runner, you can be a roamer, quick question though, does he already have the infection, because it might be easier if he gets it from the upcoming wave since he would enter phase 2, the coma, if he has it already, also I am actually excited for your character because then we can have the point of view from an Affected. just beware that there probably won't be a cure in time for him before he reaches Phase 3 and tries to kill but it would be really cool if they used him as their "experiment" (he wont die) and you can explain his ways of going in and out of the suffering, like not being able to control himself, if not that is fine)
(I thought your character was male)
Hannah was on chapter seven when another loud BANG came from outside. "Uhh, guys!" She calls to the other people in her store group,"I think there's infected out there!"
Livia sighed and kept walking. She was feeling a little dizzy, but what was eight more miles? Nothing in comparison to the full journey. She kept stride with everyone else still and was certain everyone else’s condition was at least as bad.
((Exactly. He isnt going to survive! Yay angst! And cool! He is infected now. Im not sure how fast people go into the Coma so…)
Barrow just kept walking, keeping his eyes on the wasteland ahead. "We're making good time, we've still got three an a half hours left." Making sure to check on Doll, he gives her most of the remaining water from his flask. Licking his hand in thanks, she goes off towards the front of the group again.
