Cat snapped out of her daydream to the sound of a car and music. She looked down from the tree she was in, searching for the source of the noise. There was a beat-up car driving toward her general direction but she couldn't tell who was driving and whether or not they were safe. She made sure she and her things were hidden and watched the car, waiting quietly. Or she would have if the branch she was on didn't snap and break, sending her falling to the forest floor.

Nenita was laying peacefully in the hammock of an abandoned house, swinging gently among the rubble of the backyard. She was weaving the last flower into her new flower crown when she heard the familiar sound of a car engine nearby. She froze, turning toward the noise. I haven't seen a living person in months, she thought to herself. I thought I was the only one left. In her excitement, she jumped down from the hammock, grabbed her gun and took off running toward the sound.

Zerin started to pack his Prius. There were too many people coming near the area. He froze when he heard a car engine light, and music. He was in the garage of an abandoned house that he'd claimed, so he didn't need to worry about being sensed.

Nadia jumped, slamming on the breaks when she saw something fall from a tree ahead of her. The car screeched to a halt, and then she took a small pistol from the passenger seat of her car. She didn't dare roll down the windows, afraid that an animal would jump through and kill her. Instead, she waited.

Nadia jumped, slamming on the breaks when she saw something fall from a tree ahead of her. The car screeched to a halt, and then she took a small pistol from the passenger seat of her car. She didn't dare roll down the windows, afraid that an animal would jump through and kill her. Instead, she waited.

Cat lay unmoving on the ground. She knew nothing except the blinding pain in her head and her arm, the sound of a car door opening, and the sunlight filtering through the trees above before she passed out completely.

After a few minutes, Nadia stepped out of her car to investigate the noise. She kept her pistol in her hand as she crept forward. She gasped when she spotted another human lying on the ground. The girl's eyes were closed, but when Nadia looked closer she saw that the girl was still breathing. "Good lord…there's someone else. I…I thought I was the last one…" She trailed off, staring at the girl blankly before slapping herself on the forehead. "C'mon Nadia! Don't just stand there, help her!" With that, Nadia wrapped the girl's arm around her shoulder and began dragging her back to the car.

Valerie was alone in the world, as she had been since the incident. Valerie actually found it quiet amusing, humans evolved from those in Africa, and it was one of their descendants still left in the world. The only human left in the world. It was lonely, sure. But Val had her books! And her feet. No car. Okay her life seriously sucked at the moment and this needed to be fixed fast.

"Technically, I'm the only person living…..eh whatever." Quinn talked to herself as she took food from the shelves and threw them onto her shopping cart. Quinn thought that she might as well take the food anyway, it was gonna go bad soon since no one was going to eat it, well except for her. Sure being alone was really really lonely, but she used to it.. ish. No she didn't have a car, no she didn't really have a house, but she had her pack of cards!

Nadia, being extremely careful, placed the girl in the back seat of her car after moving a few things out of the way. She was trying her best no to freak out and jump for joy, but she couldn't help but be excited. There was someone else. Nadia wasn't the only one left on Earth. She grinned to herself, sitting in the front seat of her car. She wanted to wait for the girl to wake up, but sitting in the middle of a street wasn't ideal. She started the car and began driving again, slowly, not wanting the girl to bounce around too much. Nadia needed this girl to live.

When Cat woke up the world was moving and everything hurt. She looked out a window and saw things passing by, and looked around. She looked to her left and saw a girl sitting in the driver's seat. "Oh my god!" she muttered and scooted back in her seat, trying to distance herself from the girl. She started to look for something she could use as a weapon but realized that the girl had already taken notice of her.

Nadia let out a sigh of relief. The girl was alive and well. "Finally, you woke up. I was starting to think you were dead."

"Who are you?" Cat demanded. "Where are we? And where the bloody hell is my bag?" she exclaimed, starting to look around the car for her precious bag full of medical supplies.

Kias walked along the side of an abandoned road, looking in through broken car windows for anything useful for them to steal. They sighed, kicking a piece of rubble out of their way as they boredly continued their task of searching for supplies. Occasionally, they'd pop open a door or a trunk in a car that looked promising and not already ransacked by hungry animals.

"Bag? Sorry, I didn't know you had one. I probably left it." Nadia responded, driving a little slower. "I'm Nadia. If I'm being one hundred percent honest, I have no clue where we are. Somewhere on the east coast maybe?"

"Alright well, would you mind stopping the car please, then?" Cat asked, her demeanor quickly switching from slightly freaking out, to calm and commanding. Her grandmother had called it her doctor voice.

"Alright…" Nadia trailed off, slightly surprised by the girl's sudden mood change. She gently pushed her foot against the break pedal, stopping the car in the middle of the road. "Hey…whatever your name is. Are there any other survivors? I thought I was the only one."

"You haven't come across anyone? Where have you been?" Cat looked concerned. "I've come across a few people, but they all preferred to be on their own and left. My name's Catriona, by the way. But you can call me Cat."
