A Broken World (leo22 and Ancityle)

Her bare feet continued to run, despite the fact that they should have given out a long time ago. Jane ignored how cold she was too, not just because of the weather, But because of her nudity. Though the weather didn't help either, it was currently 30 degrees and it was getting colder by the minute.

In her hands was a case of water bottles. She hugged them to her naked chest as she looked over shoulder. They were still chasing after her.

Jane had been out scavenging for anything, she had been looking for resources for her eventual journey. This included clothes, food, water, tools, etc. But as she was walking back, a gang ambushed her. Turns out the "lucky case of water" was a trap set up by a gang.

Slowly she had lost every scrap of her clothes, but she managed to escape somehow with the water. But they gave chase, and they were closing in on her.

As she turned the corner into her neighborhood, she tripped and fell on an abandoned lawn. Tears poured out, three things may happen. She was either going to be raped, sold into slavery, or killed. Maybe all three.

The date, december 2015, three weeks after her world had ended.

Marley had been hiding out in what was probably he twelve abandoned house she'd been in since everything started three weeks ago - she'd just found the place today after she had needed to leave her last place. The place wasn't her thing - a small one story home with yellow walls and old furniture, but it was better than nothing - and especially better than trying to fare on her own on the outside as winter settled in. She had a cigarette between her plump lips as she stared out the window with her free hand resting under her chin, watching for any sign of the dead around. None.

Until there was something, and the redhead immediately jumped to her feet as something flashed across her sight and then fell to the ground, much too worried that any movement outside would mean she would have to go back on the run.

It wasn't, though - the figure fell and then didn't get back up when one of the dead would have. After grabbing a chef's knife from the kitchen, Mar wandered out in to the yard and approached the figure. It quickly became clear that it was a girl and that she was naked - fuck.

"You're okay," she said in a hushed whisper as she dropped her knife to the ground and pulled the sweater she'd just found in the house off of her body. "Here," she said as she offered the fabric to the girl, offering a hand out to help her out.

Jane braced herself for the worst and shut her eyes tightly, but after a few moments, it never came. She opened them and saw a red haired girl who was slightly shorter than her come up, a knife Beside her and a sweater in her hand. She offered the fabric to her and Jane accepted it, pulling it over her body. The fabric came down to midthigh, so she wasn't going to complain.

"C'mon! The girl had to have gotten away somewhere right? She literally has nothing except the water case. Hurry up and find her!"

"Did you see the body on her. It's right out of one of those model magazines. She'll fetch a good price I bet!"

Jane quickly took her rescuer's hand and grabbed the water's with her free one. Any kind of help would be useful, and especially one that would save her life. Jane looked at the red head and wondered if she should tell her about her shelter. For all she knew, this girl would hold her up and steal it too her. All the work that she and her late boyfriend put into it for it to be their home. Not to mention she had a precious resource, something like a case of water was valuable ilthese days.

Jane shook her head for a moment and decided that it would have to be worth the risk. Why else would this woman save her? She could have easily killed her just now, and then stolen the water. So she gave a small sigh and spoke quietly. "My shelter is about two blocks from here...we can take cover there...are you okay with that?"

Jane looked the girl in the eyes and hoped she would say yes, and that she wasn't wasn't putting up a farce.
