Unstoppable Force

It had been months since the world had fallen into chaos. The once bustling cities were now hauntingly silent, their streets overrun by the undead.

"You're acting a little too calm about all this, Jade." Tori couldn't move from the corner she currently slumped in. She spoke in a small, quiet voice, not wanting to be too loud.

She was afraid those things would hear her.

"If I'm not calm then who will be?" She said, a tone of urgency in her voice. Tori swallowed hard. Jade's eyes locked onto Tori's momentarily, pausing her packing. She watched as Jade adjusted her jaw before going back to her task.

"I have clothes that you can use," Tori watched the other girl throw comfortable clothes into both packs.

"They're mostly black," Jade looked back at her again, giving her a quick once over.

"You'll live." The casual banter made Tori feel a bit better - but there was nothing hiding the feeling of fear, no matter how hard you try to ignore it. She could see fear even in the fearless goth girl's hands, as they shook lightly with every movement. 'You'll live', she repeated in her head. How ironic.

"Jade, I -"

"I know, Vega. I know." Tori didn't hear the usual bite in her voice.

A somewhat slow burn full of action, violence, adventure, love, and turmoil. Eventual Jori.
