The German shepherd was still on edge, appoching the stranger slowly. The girl did the same, only taking a seat on the floor. "You're okay, I'm not gonna hurt you." She spoke, gently pushing her Rottweiler away since she didn't seem to be fond of the other animal. "Are you hungry? You look hungry...poor guy." Reaching for her backpack slowly, she took out a cloth and in that cloth was blueberries.
Still, Tom watched the encounter unfold, his gun still in his hand contemplating whether or not just to kill her already, who knew what kind of group she was with. Rolling a few of the round fruits to the new dog, Sumo quickly scarfed them down. He could feel that there was nothing to be in edge about, and that was a strange thing for Tom to see. Sumo didn't like anyone except for him, others he would growl and snap at. While he looked a bit scared, he still approached the girl.
"That's it, good boy." The stranger praised while petting the dogs nose. What are you waiting for? Just do it. Better safe than sorry. Tom told himself trying to gather up the courage to make us attack. But he couldn't, instead he just watched. He hadn't seen anyone remotely like this in a long time, and a girl for that matter. Of course he still couldn't be too careful, while he wanted to kill her just to get it over with, another part of him was telling him otherwise.
Watching her get up, he ducked down again. "You can come with us." She said with a smile. She hadn't met anyone friendly besides Daisy, and it was good to keep the friendly ones around. Giving Sumo some more blueberries and a small sip of water from the plastic cap, she began walking. Sumo knew he had to return back to Tom, but he was just doing it for the blueberries, and Tom could clearly see that from where he was at.
As the three walked down the road, Tom followed sneakily, hopping from car to car. She was the one with the arrow, she had a bow on her and everything, with a couple of guns and a pocket knife. It was just strange to see someone like this survive this long, especially a girl without bandits or behind any walls. There was plenty of girls back in Zone blue, but that was because of all the guns and protection.
Keeping his eyes on her, his eyes widened the slightest bit, he really had no clue what he was doing. Stepping in a piece of glass was sure to bring him back to reality, he only hoped that she didn't hear it, but she definitely did and her dog definitely did as well. Her head snapped, automatically taking out her bow, and drawing the arrow right where she heard the noise come from.
"Shit." Tom cursed under his breath, hold his pistol tightly. For all he knew she could not even be nice at all and kill him in the spot, now Tom was regretting not killing her when he had the chance. "I know you're here, and just a warning, I don't miss." She advised, breathing very heavily, one foot in front of the other walking towards that rusted and beat up car.
Tom was out of options at this point to he just popped out, pistol pointed at her with a glare in his eyes. Seeing the man once again, made the Rottweiler growl, Sumo on the other hand ran in front of his owner, growling at the two strangers. "So I'm guessing that's your dog?" She questioned with curiosity, but Tom didn't answer. "Put it down, now." He said referring to her bow. "You too, I'm not doing it until you do."
Nodding his head, the two put their weapons down, looking at each other for quite some time, trying to catch their breath. As soon as the girl took one step towards him, he pointed his gun at her. He really didn't mean to, it was just his nerves. "Woah, stay back. It's just...I haven't seen anyone in a long time." He said lowering his gun and backing away from her. "Me neither." She related looking down at Daisy, then at the German shepherd. "Are you sick?" He questioned, all she did was shake her head.
"W-what's your name? I'm Juliet...or just Jules." She said forcing herself not to approach him for a hand shake, but he didn't say anything. Instead the boy just put the gun back in his holster and began to walk away, slightly whistling for Sumo to follow, which he gladly did. Looking back at him, watching him walk away, she let out a scoff. "Where are you going?" She questioned with some sort of disbelief. "I don't know who you are, and I'm not taking any chances."
Tom didn't believe that she was out here on her own, so it was best to leave before her group came, maybe it could be an ambush. "Okay then, whatever you say." Juliet commented as she holstered her bow on her back, patting her lap so Daisy could get the memo that they were leaving. She didn't know exactly where she was going, but going back wouldn't really be a problem, there could be things that she was forgetting.
Looking back at her as she walked away, he really wondered if she was with someone, or other people. She really seem to have any direction, he noticed how she was going back, Tom would never go back, that would only waste more time. "Juliet..." he repeated quietly just to get a feel of the name. She didn't seem all that bad, if she wanted him dead, or wanted an ambush, she could've done it now with his back turned, plus she fed his dog.
Turning his head back around to the front, he stopped immediately, letting out a small gasp at what was in front of him. Exactly what he didn't want to deal with today, a Hunter. Puss and blood practically leaking out of blisters and built up bacteria while he let out a long and loud roar, calling all its friends to come join it.
