Chapter One - Meet, Recruit and Move On

Crouching down, Fawn carefully removed a silver knife from her belt, and with a flick of her wrist sent it flying into a squirrel's head. Silently, Fawn silently moved through the bushes, as if she was one with the forest. Once removing the squirrel from the tree, Fawn pranced back to camp, only to run into a hard chest, causing her to fall backwards.

Once she regained her senses, she gazed up at the large man blocking her path, a serious expression was embedded on his face. A sneeze caused her to then turn slightly to the left an notice his two compainons, a man with hi hair fashioned into a mullet and who seemed to be cowering in fear. Yet the large man's other companion a latina women that exuded confidence seemed mullet man's polar opposite, badass. Realising her position, Fawn went to quickly spring up, to get back in her feet and in a defensive positions, she felt threatened by the three newcomers staring at her. However this action was halted by Fawn's suprise as the large man offered his hand, helping her up from her humbleing postition on the ground. After a moments hesitation, Fawn accepted, using the hand to heave herself up and then asked, in a timid voice, her previous air of confidence now completely diminished, "W-what do y-you want?"

The large man, let out a strong chuckle, amused at the small girl change in character, enthusiastically answered " I'm Abraham, this is Eugene and Rosita, we are on a misson to save the world. We could use a person of your skills. Your knife throwing is unique and you seemed comfortable in the foret, showing you are a good hunter or tracker, both skill we could use. So, what do you say, want to go down in history as one of the people who helped save the world from the zombie apocalypse?"

Having nothing better to do, and starting to go slightly isane with the lack of human contact, Fawn, quickly accepted the offer, then proced to prance around shaking Abraham's hand, pull Rosita into a hug whilst Introdcing herslef as Fawn, or in Eugene's case, 'your worst nightmare', which was accompanyed by a serious expression. This caused, to Rosita and Abraham's amusmant, Eugene's face to pale dramacically, and Fawn to burst into histerical laughter and then fall over a nearby tree root. Sending her tumbling to the ground, although her giggles never ceased.

"So, where we going? " Fawn questioned, suddenly thinking of how little she knew about what she signed up for. "Washington DC" Abraham's gruff voice replied "We move out now!" Leaving no chance to argue, Abraham started to walk in the small groups original directon.

Sticking close to Rosista, as she was the only other female, Fawn whispered "Meet, greet and move ob. Isn't he a ball of sunshine!" This earned a giggle from Rosita and a glare from Abraham, that softened when he saw the look if faux innocence that Fawn had plastered onto her face. It would be only a matter of time before Fawn had Abraham wrapped around her finger.
