"AHHHHHH!!!!"
My shrieks, along with two others pierced the air.

They were survivors like me!

I quickly calmed down.

"Woah! I don't wanna fight!"

The other two girls stopped screaming and looked at me suspiciously.

I didn't blame them.

I was wearing a camouflage jacket with a zip-off hood that was a little too big (I found it while looking for food a while back), tights and combat boots (stolen from a shoe store...), and I was holding a sharp knife (from someone's kitchen) in my hands...
I quickly dropped the knife.
Hopefully, that would show that I didn't want to fight, I really didn't.
I mean, I know how to defend myself (you can learn a lot within a week if you're desperate enough...), but I try to avoid violence as much as possible.

"Okay. We get you, you come in peace. Well, do you have a group? We're trying to find as many survivors of this crazy apocalypse as possi..."
One of the two started asking but trailed off...

She must've seen the tears.

"Oo-oh! Never mind! What's your name? I'm Ruka, and this is Iris." The other girl quickly changed the subject.

"I'm Aqua."
I replied while shooting a grateful look to Ruka whom did not seem to notice.

I then took the time to get a better look at them. Ruka was the younger looking of the two, looking around the age of 11 to 12. She had black-brown, shoulder-length hair in a messy ponytail, dark-chocolate-brown eyes and light-tan skin. She looked like an Asian, like me and was wearing a black shirt with the quote, 'love is never the answer', and shorts. She also had a headband and was wearing black and grey sneakers.

Iris on the other hand had raven black hair and brown eyes with tan skin and looked to be around 14 to 16. She also had a mix of an American and Singaporean accent. She was wearing a zipped-up, purple, no, violet leather jacket with a hood, ripped jeans and boots.

One thing though, was the fact that one of them, the older one, seemed strangely familiar...

Then it clicked.
