It was a day after all the guys left to find this ... 'abandoned asylum' that Blaine had mentioned. It would be a while until they would return.

It was early morning and Rhett was first up. She made up her bed and gathered her katanas together. She was about to go look for some more food and clothing around the neighborhood of decaying and walking beasts.

She was about to slip on her DC shoes when she remembered that the Spitter that she and Maya ran into in the city had burned the bottoms nearly all the way off.

"Damn it. Now what?" Rhett cursed to herself.

She scanned the bedroom she'd been in and found a pair of somewhat worn out Converse.

"Better than nothing." She shrugged, slipping them on. They seemed a bit snug, but they would have to do for now.

Her white tank top was now stained with blood and dirt, it was time for a new look. Her leather jacket was still in decent condition and her jeans only had a few holes in them, but it was best she changed a bit.

She slipped her jacket on and then quietly strolled out of the room so no one heard her.

She slipped out the front door with her katanas on her back, she shut the door and was finally out.

"Phew, where to start?" She murmured to herself as she scanned her surroundings.

She began to walk down the street and scanned all the houses, they were all small, she wanted to find a big house. Big house, more supplies.

The cool, fall air blew through her fine pink hair, making it lift into the air as the breeze blew.

She felt at peace, in serenity, but in all honesty, she wasn't. Her thoughts lie on her deceased family. She wished she could've done more for them, but there wasn't a thing she could do. Just thinking of them almost drove her to tears.

Back at the house, Maya was awake. She looked at the other side of the bed, thinking Nick was there, but he wasn't. Her eyes narrowed sadly in thought of not waking up to seeing Nick for a while.

She got out of bed and walked over to the window and looked outside. All plant life was beginning to thrive like mad. The world would look like a jungle after a few years.

"What am I gonna do now?" Maya mumbled to herself as she looked outside.

She shrugged off her question and changed into her flannel plaid shirt and her skinny jeans with some holes in them. She placed both her pistols in her pants pockets; feeling something may happen at any moment.

Back to Rhett; she finally managed to find a house with plenty of supplies. She gathered up plenty of food in a duffel bag she carried out with her.

Soon, Rhett sensed something was going to happen, she wasn't sure what, but she knew it was bad. She gathered a few more cans of soup that was still good, a few more packs of ammo and a few shirts and new shoes; pair of World Industry shoes; similar to DCs.

Soon, she left, with her duffle bag full, she spread a smile across her face from her progress.

But Rhett's happiness was short lived; she heard the cocking of a shotgun and right away, she grabbed both her katana handles and swung them out of there sheaths.

"Who's there? Come the fuck out of hiding or I'll come in, and with the pleasure of cutting off your head." She growled as she narrowed her eyes.

Something then was thrown at her, but with her slick moves, she blocked what was thrown at her with her blades in the form of an X in front of her face. She heard the clang of the weapon that hit her blades and then fell to the ground.

"Heh, nice try." She said in a cocky tone as she brought each blade back to each of her sides with the sound of the swords running along each other like they do in movies.

Two guys with shotguns then appeared out of the brush and aimed at her.

"Well, looks like we got a cocky bitch here, boys." Scoffed a man nearest to her.

"Watch what you say or you might just as well say goodbye to your buddies now, that is if you want them to see your head roll off your shoulders?" She smirked as she looked at three other men staring at her.

"You are a cocky one." Said a younger looking man; about twenty or so years old.

Rhett just watched all the guys circle her like they were a pack of wolves, ready to ambush their prey.

Suddenly, all the men and Rhett heard a gunshot in the distance, in the direction of Rhett's camp.

Damn it! Rhett thought to herself as she threw her swords in there sheaths and grabbed the duffle bag and began to run.

But unfortunately, one of the men shot Rhett's leg, but she kept running.

Rhett reached for her secret weapon; a smoke bomb. She threw it back at the men and kept running.

The men didn't see it coming, the smoke bomb was defused and they were blinded.

"Damn it! Sir, we lost her!" Shouted the younger man.

"Don't worry, by the sound of the gunshot and the way she ran to it, her camp isn't far away." Coughed the leader.

At the house, Maya and Raine were out on guard. It was Maya who made the gunshot sound; she shot a zombie, but she was unaware of the danger she put her team mates and herself in.

Raine and Maya then saw Rhett running back with blood trickling on the pavement.

"Rhett!" Maya gasped as she jumped off the porch and ran up to the limping girl.

"Everyone okay?" She mumbled.

"We're all fine. But, you need medical care now." Maya begged.

"I'll live." Rhett said as she limped towards the porch.

Suddenly, the three girls heard shotgun shots coming toward them.

"Oh, shit no! Maya, get in the house! Summer! Get out here and bring my gun!" Rhett demanded.

"But.. Rhett-!" Maya tried to speak.

"Go, now! Nick will pissed if he finds out you get hurt! Now go!" Rhett said as she gently pushed Maya inside the door.

Maya nodded and finally went inside.

Soon, Summer came out with her gun on her shoulder holster and Rhett's shotgun in hand.

"Rhett, what's going on?" Raine demanded.

"Fucking guys found me, now they are after me." She growled as she grabbed her gun from Summer.

"How many?" Summer questioned.

"Four, or at least that's how many were after me." She panted.

Suddenly, the three girls froze when they heard the cock of a shotgun, and it wasn't any of them.

"You're easy to track, pink girl." Laughed the leader of the group.

Rhett narrowed her eyes and cocked her shotgun and aimed at the leader.

"What do you want? Leave!" She snarled.

"Isn't it obvious, your supplies and your body, and also your friends." The younger man snapped.

"Hell no!" Raine growled as she aimed her gun at the younger guy.

Inside, Maya watched in wonder. Her companions were out there, protecting each other and her.

"I have to do something. I will not let them hurt my friends." Maya murmured as she grabbed her switchblade that Rhett gave to her.

Maya snuck out the back door and creeped towards the front.

She suddenly heard the moans of a zombie near her. She creeped back to the zombie and stayed kneeled behind it. She then stood real fast and stabbed it's head; it was dead.

"Nighty night, bitch." She praised herself.

She kneeled back down and creeped back towards the front. She saw the four men, nearest was the young man that was bitching at Rhett and Raine.

She caught a glimpse at an attractive boy farther away near a more older guy. She couldn't help herself; but she shook her feelings away for the time being.

"You don't surrender, we'll kill you off, one by one." Growled the leader.

That was when Maya lost it, she ran out of hiding and threw herself on top of the young man and stabbed his shoulder with her switchblade.

"Maya! No, stop!" Rhett pleaded.

"Shoot them." Demanded the leader.

"No!" Maya yelled as she grabbed her pistol and aimed her gun at the young man's head.

"You hurt any of them, I'll kill your buddy here." Maya growled.

"Maya, stop." Summer begged.

Maya didn't listen, she held her ground. But it was then the attractive boy hit her head with the handle of his gun and knocked her out.

"Maya!" Rhett, Raine and Summer said in unison.

"Nice job, Trevor." Praised the leader.

The young boy, known as Trevor nodded.

"You sick, twisted man!" Rhett snarled as she grabbed the handle of one of her katanas.

The young man that Maya stabbed, then shot Rhett in the forearm with a handgun.

With a shriek of pain, Rhett dropped her sword.

"Rhett! You bastard!" Summer growled as leaned down to aid Rhett.

"We are taking your little friend here." Said the leader.

"No, please!" Rhett begged with mercy in her voice.

The guys began to leave, but Raine shot the older man in the head, instantly killing him. The remaining three men looked at her with hostile stares.

"You bitch." Trevor snapped as he shot Raine in the shoulder.

"Ahhhh!" Raine squeaked in pain as she fell to her knees.

"Stop!" Summer begged.

"You stop, we'll stop. Plain and simple." Trevor growled once more before carrying Maya off in his arms.

"Maya... No.. Nick I'm so sorry." Rhett said as she bowed her head.

"We'll get her back." Summer reassured her.

Soon all the men disappeared into the brush with Maya. Now, it was all silent, only the wind whistled through the leafless trees, sending a howl throughout the area.

What will happen to Maya? Will they kill her? Many questions will be running through the heads of the survivors.
