Alfred was sleeping soundly when Arthur heard Luca's barking. Arthur sat up and warily pulled up the metal sheet. He saw Scltty and his dog. Standing infront of what looked like Felix. Alfred rolled over and Arthur pulled him up.
"Come on you wank, Scotty's down there!" He said, shaking the american. Alfred got up reluctantly, and the two trudged downstairs and carefully opened the door. They look around (Arthur had never been outside at night, the same for Alfred.) an smiled at the sky. Alfred pulled out a large flashlight, and they walked over towards the others.
"Scotty?" alfred asked, cockin his head.

Erica was in her attic, looking down upon the mutants passing by. They were blind so they had no idea how to reach for her, making her safe, for the most part. There was always a danger that somehow they would get into the house and get into her attic, but the probability of this happening was low.
Soon, a bark had interrupted the teens thoughts. Her mind immediately recognized that was a sound of a dog. "But what are the chances there's another human here?" She wondered. It could be just another stray dog, wishing to get out of this town of those horrible creatures. However, the sound perked up her interest and she began staring through the window more intensely. The moon was the only light source, but it was enough for her to make out a figure of two humans. Erica was skeptical and cautious. "They could just look like humans," she wondered. She then caught a sudden spark that lit up a part of the streets for just a second, but it was enough for her to make out that, yes, the two creatures were in fact regular humans, not one of the mutated creatures. She carefully watched two other figures run up to them, and through observing their behavior, she understood they must be human as well.

"I might just show myself as well," Erica figured as she grabbed a gun in case of emergency. She also grabbed a flashlight and stormed downstairs, the flashlight leading her way. She opened the door that led outside. The light of the flashlight made her even more sure that these were actual people. She observed them for afar for a moment, but then realized she would be much safer with them.
She walked up to them cautiously, trying to act as human as possible and hiding her gun so she wouldn't seem dangerous. When she was close enough to make out their faces, she begun talking, "Hello, I'm quite surprised I'm seeing more humans here. If you guys need a safe place, I know a good one. I'm not saying anything else before you introduce myself to me. " She added. It didn't matter whether they were human or not, she still was rather cautious and tried to not to talk too much. She needed to know them first.

Before she knew it, Felix was surrounded by people. Usually Felix liked to keep qiuet and travel alone, that way there was no possibility of loosing someone she had formed a bond with. She eyed the dog, waiting to see if she would have to kill it or not, maybe the owner wanted her as a partner? Felix slowly got up without making a sound and sized the boy and his dog up, her sword clutched tight in her hands and he bow slung over her shoulder. There ware two more voices and Felix shot a cold glare and two more men. She balled her knuckles to the point of them turning white, wondering if these humans were friendly or not. The two new faces apparently knew the boy with the dog. Felix took a step back, wondering if they were a gang not above cannibals. She looked at another new face, this time a girl. The girl was polite, and addressed everyone, Felix didn't trust any of them but told them who she was and nothing more "It'd be wise to go indoors, though I’m pretty sure the big mutants don't scavenge around here..." Felix said, mostly to herself "I'm Felix, and you four are?" She asked, her sword still gripped tightly in her palm.

Alfred grinned widely at thesight of his friend, then looked over to Felix.
"Oh hey dude. I'm Alfred, this is my...friend, Arthur." he said, holding out his hand to be shaken. Arthur rolled his eyes.
"Felix is right. Since you are all outside out door you may as well come stay with Alfred an I for the night," Arthur said with a shrug.

Maxwell paced around inside, where he had quickly eaten a meal. He made a mental note to remember this place, for future shelter and food purposes. He stopped for a second, thinking he heard a noise. Was that a... dog? He went over to the window, and watched as one canine and five humanoid shapes met in an alley... He glanced at the flashlight on the floor, next to his backpack, which held his basic things like one extra set of clothes, and some medical items, and his weapons, a crowbar and a pistol. He put the pstol in his pocket, the crowbar on his belt loop, grabbed his bag, and turned the flashlight on. Slowly walking down the stairs and out of the house, he shone the flashlight on the people.
Maybe now he wouldn't be so... alone.

Scotty looked at his friends, Arthur and Alfred when they showed up but he didn't speak, Luca looked at the boys and barked a friendly greeting as his tail wagged excitedly, he was proud that he had found another human... for most of his life he had only know Scotty, Arthur, and Alfred.. Scotty turned back to Felix and looked down at her when she tried to size up with him. He was a couple feet taller then her. He watched her curiously "My name's Scotty Peterson!" he introduced to Felix and Erica, noticing they were acting quiet cautiously. Luca nudged his leg making the boy look down at his dog who whimpered and tilted his head. "Oh... and this is my dog, Luca..." he muttered still looking thoughtfully at Felix. Luca let out a loud bark of friendly greeting, his tail wagged faster. Scotty didn't even hear Arthur when he mentioned going inside he only blinked and looked away from Felix when Luca tugged at his pant leg and pointed with his snout toward Maxwell.

Alice sat quietly in front of an abandoned building with Thorne. They were waiting for Wolf, who was in the alleyway next to the building, looking for his silver moon pendant, which he had accidentally flung while walking by it. He had told Thorne to stay and guard Alice, though he knew she could take care of herself. He just didn't want to take the risk. And since Thorne only listened to Wolf, unless commanded otherwise, Alice couldn't tell him to go with Wolf. So she waited there, petting Thorne and waiting for Wolf to hurry up. She looked around as she heard a faint bark, and Thorne's ears went up, revealing that he, too, heard the bark. It was apparent that Wolf had also heard it, because he came running out from the alleyway, flashlight in one hand, pendant in the other, excitedly, "Did you hear that bark! It sounded close!" Alice nodded and stood up, "C'mon. There are probably people if there is a dog," she said as she picked up her backpack and handed Thorne's leash to Wolf, though it wasn't attached to Thorne's collar. Wolf also picked up his backpack and told Thorne to find where the bark came from. Thorne began to trot down the street, Wolf and Alice following closely behind. They rounded a corner, and saw a small group of people, and a black German Shepherd, a few buildings down. Thorne slowed his pace a little, and softly barked.

"Oh, I'm Erica. I actually was about to propose my attic as a good place to hide," She turned to Alfred and Arthur, her voice already sounding a little mean, "But your place would probably be good too. I mean, there would be less burden on me. " She smirked and then went back to her usual unimpressed expression.
She noticed a few more people closing over to them. "Hmm, more people?" She thought out loud, but didn't mention them again.

Ooc: Can't write more, have to go

Alfred patted Luca's head, he loved the dog. Arthur, on the other hand, didn't so much agree with using another life as a weapon, but he normal shrugged it off.
"Well we have food and shelter so feel free to come in. Alfred," Rthur said turning The British an was never fond of Americans, so he tended to be cautious and snarky around them, but he was around everyone. He blamed them for he incident with the mutants, but never Alfred in particular.
"We shoul all probably go inside, Scotty." Arthur repeated sternly, seeing as his friend didn't her him the first time.

ooc: sorry for my small posts I'm on my iPod Dx

Felix looked at them, Luca the dog, Scotty, Alfred and Arthur, Erica and fowned "All right, lets go inside I guess, I am rather tired..." Just then there was another person, another teen "Hello," Felix began looking at the new kid. There was another noice, a barking, and Felix emediatly snapped her head in the direction. Images of the mutant dogs flooded her memorie and she raised her sword ever so slightly at the noice. Felix could make out two human figures, walking like non-infected people. She sighed in relief and lowered her sword, in a gesture of welcome.

"Oh uhh y-yeah!" Scotty stuttered when Arthur repeated himself. Luca wagged his tail but his ears perked when he heard other barks. At first the big dog stayed silent, he had had a run in with an angry pack of mutant dogs, it could be seen by his knicked ear. The dog saw Thorne, Wolf, and Alice. He started barking hyperly again.

Arthur motioned for them all to come inside, before he saw the three figures walking their way.
"Oh boy more Americans..." he grumbled, swinging open the door. Alfred grinned and waved at them.

Luca barked excitedly and tore away from Scotty's grasp, racing after Alfred and Arthur. "Luca! Come back!" Scotty snapped but was ignored by his pet, Luca was just as stubborn and headstrong as his owner so the boy didn't bother to chase him. He looked back at the others, he pushed his hood off his head and flipped his hair out of his crystal blue eyes. He kept letting his gaze fall on Felix but once he realized he was staring at her, he quickly looked away and started off after his friends.

Alice smiled as she noticed that the people were friendly for the most part. Thorne waged his tail and trotted over to the people. He sat in front of Felix and waited for Alice and Wolf. Wolf and Alice didn't take long to catch up, but by the time they got there, three of the people had already started to walk away, along with the other dog. Wolf patted Thorne on the head and clipped his leash on him, but let it fall, rather than holding it. "Good boy Thorne," he said, then looked up at Felix, "Hello, I'm Wolf, This is Thorne, and tha-" "I can introduce myself Wolfie," Alice interrupted him, "I'm Alice." She looked at Felix, then Erica, then in the direction that the boys went. "Mind if we join you guys?" she asked, leaning against Wolf. Wolf thought of Alice like a younger sister, and Alice felt the same about him, except that he was a boy, and older than her. They took care of each other, but the also had their fun. "Get off me brat!" Wolf jokingly exclaimed, then put an arm around Alice in a brotherly manner. Thorne just wagged his tail.

Felix looked at the new people and shrugged, she couldn't help but notice that Scotty had been...what was it...staring? At her. She rolled her bright green eyes at the thought of having a bond with someone as arrogant as Scotty, who would most likely end up dying. She looked at the dog infront of her and put her sword away, tohugh she always had easy access to it "Doesn't matter to me" She muttered, giving them a slightly cold shoulder. She walked after Arthur and Alfred and pushed past them into the small apartment "And you're sure there's no mutants in here?" She asked instinctivly pulling out my sword.
