I thought to myself he's cute then shook that thought out of my head. " what's your name huh?" Warren asks. I've never really told people my name before. "Which name the one people give me or the one my parents gave me." I ask looking down at the fire quick flashbacks flashing in the flames. "Both why not?" Doc says shrugging leaning on his shoulders. "Well my real name is skysea. But people call me skull crusher." Addy  smiles. "Damn girl! That's A bad ass name. Skull crusher. But skysea is a sweet name." "I smile under my mask. "Yeah means goddess of the sky and sea. Pure beauty. Even the gods are jealous." Murphy chuckles. "I mean we can only see your eyes. Can tell if it means that." "Well Murphy I ain't that pretty getting attacked by not so nice travelers." I tilt my head. 10k walks over and looks into my bright blue eyes. "May I help you handsome?" I ask smartly and he blushes. "Just take off the mask only I can see right now. " okay. Why am I opening up to this guy? I bearly know him! I slowly undo my mask and let it fall to the ground. A scar across my cheeks from one corner of my lip to half way to my cheek on both sides. I look away and next thing I know is I have a hand on my cheek his thumb rubbing my scar. "They are beautiful." 10k says and walks away before I can put on my make letting the whole group see them. "Wow! You look like a bad ass kid!" Doc says enthusiastly. "Yeah no need to hide it sweet heart." Warren says smiling. "Yeah I mean c'mon sky..." Before Addy could finish I got up tears in my eyes. "Don't call me sky please." "Sorry." Addy said looking down. "Its fine addy my parents called me that." I grab my stuff to put up into a tree to keep watch. "Gets some sleep guys ill help you get that old car working again in the woods over there." I point over at the old station wagon. They nod and start climbing on the tree before I hear a leave or twig crunch behind me. I jump down spinning around seeing 10k.

"hey?" I say. "Don't scare me like that I'm a pretty good shot with throwing knives." He puts his hands up like he surrenders which causes me to smile. "Hey warren said to help keep watch." That sentence makes me frown once again . "she doesn't trust me does she? I mean I wouldn't trust me either." I say turning back to my tree and start climbing with my knifes each on digging into the tree. "Hey its not that! Its just one person can't do it alone." I nod and continue claiming him flowing behid. Once I get placed on a branch I hoist him up with my free are. The other holding a steady branch above me. "So u was west and south  ill watch west and north." Say say hopping to a branch on the other side of the tree. He nods staying put. I lean my head on the tree looking up at the stars that are visible through the tree branches. Hours pass without a single thing happening. Then he speaks. "Where were you when the zombie apocalypse happen." I take a minute to realize he was talking already lost in my own thoughts. "I was out in me and my mom's garden when it all started." I say remembering it all. "I was fishing when my dad came and got me." He says. I hear sorrow fill his voice. "Hey" I say holding my arm backwards t words him. "You'll get though it all." He grabs my hand and holds it for a minute and then lets go. It goes back to silnce.

"HEY GUYS OUR TURN!" I hear addy yell and so I hop down so does 10k. "Thanks addy." 10k says and I just nod walking twords the camp area. Me and 10k realize there is only the tent left. "You can have it tent. " I say walking twords the old car. "Wait skull." He grabs my arm and spins me to him. "What?" I ask looking back at him pulling my arm away. "I was gonna say you can have the tent." I shake my head turning back to the car pulling out a knife and opening the door seeing a corpse that had a branch through its head. I shiver in disgust and try and pull it out. As I pull on its arm the arm pops off causeing me to fall back. "Gross." I toss the arm away as I say it. I walk to the group and see 10k in the tent. "There might be enough room for me.." I say as I open the tent door. "Shit." I see him laying spread out like a small star fish in the tent. "Ok I can make this work." I crawl in and curl up in a ball between his arm and his leg. As I get comfy I slowly fall asleep.
