A Mexican, an Indian and a German walk into a town...

Seemed like the beginning of a bad joke with an even worse punchline in which the German would end up delivering it, yet here they were for real in the street of a North Carolinian town that they didn't even knew the name off. It was just another token American town to Ziggy. Seemed like there was a wider variety in Germany, only she never realized it before. She leaned over the hood of a car, using it to support her rifle, watching through the scope to eye up the deadheads that were slouching further along the way. There appeared to be no human inhabitants of the town, or if there were they were doing a good job of hiding themselves.

Ziggy looked over what appeared to be the main street of the town, where they would probably find what they needed. She could see the green cross of what used to be an apothecary and a sign that read 'garage' on it among other things. American towns tended to have at least one gun store each but so far she couldn't see anything that looked the part. In any case, seemed they shouldn't have too much problems scavenging but then again, things were never what they seemed.

"I see six deadheads in the main street." Ziggy spoke as she kept glaring through the scope. "Nothing we can't handle so far. I can see three side streets going diagonally. No telling how many there are in there though."

Ziggy came out from behind her rifle and let it rest on the hood of the car, facing Ayita and Sara.

"There's an apothecary and a garage further down the road." Ziggy said. "Also saw what looked to be an outdoor sports store and a restaurant. If we play this quiet we can check out each one. We should also clear out the garage so we have a place to hole up in until we can get a vehicle in working condition."

She gazed over the street once more before turning to Ayita and Sara again.

"Which one do you guys want to check out first?"

Rounding the last corner of the road that cut through the tree's like a knife making its way through butter Ayita groaned under her breath as the town began to grow before them, The buildings jutting out of the ground like long standing obelisks in the middle of a nature preserve. Only, these were no sacred grounds and this was no nature preserve. Gripping her bow tightly she sent herself into full guard mode as they passed the ruined sign of the town, if one tried they could possibly make out what it once read but it was long since covered in spray paint and other markings from the early days of the outbreak.

Sliding an arrow out of her quiver as they reached the first structure outlying the town Ayita notched it as the walked, her head looking from side to side as they progressed. Reaching a Car at the beginning of what looked to be the main street of the town she stopped her trek as Ziggy's voice broke the silence and signaled them to stop before fetching her rifle and laying it along the hood of the nearby car. "What do you see?" She asked her as she continued to scan the surrounding area like an ever vigilant sentry on guard. Hearing the report begin to flow Ayita turned her attention to her companions words, by this point she had shoved nearly every embarrassing thought to the back of her head and was focused fully on the task at hand, "Six huh?" She greeted as she moved her gaze to look into the distance down the main street, the small bobbing figures dotted the cement, some wandered, some not. "Alright." she added looking back to the girl to hear the rest of what she saw.

Waiting for Ziggy to finish Ayita thought over the options presented to her, The pharmacy and the Garage seemed to be the most important as they would mainly contain the things they seek but the other's would be good to check out all the same. "I say we head for the garage first, that way we have a place to hold up and maybe find a working.. Car.." Every time the word left her mouth it sounded forced, no matter how many times she tried to get it out as normal as she could it always came out forced and nervous. "Once we get it cleared we can make the rounds to the Pharmacy and see what's left. Hopefully there's enough to get us through most of the cold months."

Taking a cluster of steps to the other side of the vehicle Ayita turned back to her two companions, "Sound like a plan u-ge-yu-di?" Checking the other side of the car for any sneaky u-yo-hu-sv Ayita returned to them, taking up a position beside Ziggy as she waited to hear their input.

With it being decided that they were going to check out the garage first, Ziggy swung her rifle over her shoulder, hissing once more from the pain it wrought. She kept forgetting she was still injured and brusk movements ached like hell.

"Ach... scheisse!" Ziggy murmered as her face cringed from the pain. The pain itself wasn't incapacitating but more of gnawing nuisance. She shook it off for the moment but they'd better not get up and personal with any deadheads soon.

"Not sure I'm able to fight off deadheads if they come close." Ziggy said, choosing honesty over pride. "Let's try to avoid them if we can."

Gesturing at Ayita and Sara to follow her, Ziggy crouched behind a parked car. She waved at Ayita and Sara to follow her. As soon as they did, Ziggy took a glance at the six walkers roaming the street, before looking at another parked van. If they ran over to the van now, the walkers would surely spot them. They needed a distraction, making sure the walkers would have their backs turned before running. Or take them out altogether, although that might lure in even more.

"We can run to that van over there." Ziggy said. "From there we'll be able to get to the garage without them spotting us. But first we have to make sure they're looking the other way."

Looking around, Ziggy spotted a few items that could do the trick for a distraction. She grabbed a brick that laid nearby and a glass bottle that was still intact. She was in no state to throw either of them though, so she presented them to her two companions.

"I'm in no condition to throw very far." Ziggy admitted. "One of you will have to do it. Unless someone has a better idea..."

Ziggy waited for either Ayita or Sara to throw something, or give their input. In any case, one of them was going to have to decide. Ziggy would follow whatever decision was made.

Hearing Ziggy's wince of pain Ayita was at her side in a heartbeat, "Where's it hurt?" she said, concern showing clear through her tone as she looked the girl over, "I said go easy.." she muttered as she set to checking her over for a moment before hearing her speak about not being useful in close quarters, Ayita let a soft sigh meet the air at the words, "Please go easy Sigelinde, I'll make sure the u-yo-hu-sv don't get to you." Waiting a few extra moments to make sure Ziggy was able to shrug off the pain for now she made a mental note to check her over once they secured the Garage and if possible talk her into giving her body some rest after the long trek to the town, even if it had been a semishort distance compared to how far the farm was even the strongest person would be fatigued if they had gone the whole way not a week after a car wreck.

Making their way to the next car that laid a distance away and further into town Ayita came to a crouch and let her back rest against the cold metal of the vehicle before she peaked around the corner. The garage was at the end of the road, between them roamed the small cluster of u-yo-hu-sv which to Ayita's relief wasn't to hard to deal with and as she heard Ziggy's idea to distract them with a nearby bottle she nodded in agreement, Telling the truth she wasn't the best pitcher either, but they didn't need to get it far, just far enough to draw the beasts attention to the opposite side of the street allowing them to cross to the van which Ziggy had pointed out, from there it was easily a straight shot to the garage. untwisting her body from looking down the street Ayita looked down at the bottle in Ziggy's had. Sara didn't look to be one with an arm so with little thought Ayita took the bottle from the blondes hand. Gripping it by the neck she turned her body to face the car. Alright, don't go for distance, go for location. Anywhere that draws their attention away from the van.

Hiking her arm back she placed a knee on the ground to steady herself before chucking the bottle over the car, seeing it disappear in a blur of twirling hues of green and yellow as it tumbled towards the facade of the adjacent building. Hearing it shatter upon the ground in front of the long deserted sidewalk the growls of the u-yo-hu-sv grew in an instant as their heads jerked towards the sound in one swift, connected moment. "Think that got their attention?" Ayita asked looking back down at the girls. "We should probably get a move on before they figure it out." She added fetching her bow from it's resting place against the car, pushing herself all the way back to her feet she waited for her two companions to go before her, Taking up the rear as they made their way to the van Ayita looked back at the cluster of beasts, all their back's now turned to them as they searched for the source of whatever made the sound. Once again taking a position next to Ziggy she made a point to ask her once again how she was holding up, Glancing passed the two of them at the garage a short distance away Ayita turned her gaze back to the girls. "Alright, quick, quiet, clean. Don't shoot if you don't have to, I'll take the lead and clear out the entrance." Nothing but conviction was conveyed in her voice, No embarrassing thoughts ran through her mind, the only thing she thought about now was getting in, clearing the garage and getting what they needed to hit the road. Turning back to the girls once again after a quick glance towards the garage Ayita gave Ziggy a look that said 'Don't make me lose another one.' holding it for a moment she opened her mouth. "Once we clear it out let me look at you alright? I know you're tough but don't overdue yourself alright?" With those words Ayita moved to the front of the group, beckoning them to follow as she quickly began to close the distance to the door of the garage.

After Ayita had thrown the bottle and the deadheads had taken notice, Ziggy waited for them to have their backs turned and then swiftly made her way towards the next car. Ziggy nodded in agreement when Ayita told her she'd take point.

"I'll cover the rear." Ziggy answered. "Make sure they don't surprise us from behind. Get that door open!"

Sliding the shotgun from her back, Ziggy grabbed hold of it. It had a wide spread and was ideal for blowing any deadheads away that would come too near. It made a helluva noise but once inside they didn't have to worry about the deadheads outside anymore. But here was hoping she didn't have to shoot at all, and that the garage would be all but empty.

As Ayita pried open the door, Ziggy took in the sights of the street. The outdoor sporting goods store seemed a good place to look for protective gear and warm clothing for the winter. Maybe a pair of walking shoes if they were lucky. Socks and fresh underwear would be welcome too. The apothecary however... well it seemed American pharmacies were somewhat different of the ones in Germany. Where as in Germany the medicines were out in the open behind the counter, the American ones tended to be behind electronical security doors, or locked up tight in some other way. Ziggy made no illusion there would still be food in the restaurant further down the street, but that didn't mean they'd still be able to find something useful though.

A few minutes passed and it seemed the deadheads were losing interest in the place where Ayita had previously thrown the bottle and were slowly but surely slouching back onto the middle of the street. For now the three amigas were out of sight but if the deadheads would come closer they'd surely notice them.

"They're coming back..." Ziggy said in a hushed voice. "How's that door coming along?"

Reaching the Garage in short order Ayita came along side the wall before looking back to make sure her companions still followed, Relieved to see that this was indeed still the case she turned her attention to the dead that for the time were still distracted by the sound the bottle shattering had made, but who knew how long that would last. Reaching the door she looked it over, The dusty beige paint that adorned it had begun peeling in some places but for the most part it seemed intact. Looking back at towards the cluster of dead Ayita took notice that a few of them were beginning to lose interest in the shattered remains of the bottle and that some of them had begun to take notice, "alright, let's make this quick." she said just loud enough for the two others to hear her. Turning back to the door she looked the door over once more before trying the knob, locked. "Of course.." she breathed in frustration, of course it wouldn't be that easy. she added internally before swinging her back off her shoulder.

Fetching her SOG hatchet from the side pocket she set to jamming the edge into the crack near the doors latch in a hope it would pop open, she would no doubt ruin the blades sharpness in the process but that could be remedied in a few hours of down time. Pressing the thin side of the blade into the door she repeated this for a time with no luck, the sound of metal on metal was sure to attract the attention of at least a few of the u-yo-hu-sv but at the look of the door as long as they didn't fully break the locking mechanism or there was at least a somewhat heavy object on the other side they would be safe. Hearing Ziggy whisper in urgency that what Ayita had feared was in fact happening she turned up the pace of her attempts at the door, the only weapon Ziggy had that could deal with them quickly was that shotgun and at all possible Ayita wanted to avoid her having to use it at any cost, the sound it brought would without a doubt attract the attention of every u-yo-hu-sv within the area and make it damn near impossible for them to get out.

Trying a handful of more times Ayita felt the door begin to give, turning she saw that the creatures were heading their way now, a fire lit in her heart at the site, pure dedication coursed through her veins and with one last push the door swung forward. Ayita having been putting her full weight in her urgent work went too, falling face first into the building she hit hard against the cold flooring, the pain was bad and she felt a small stream of blood begin to drip down her face but now wasn't the time, they had to get inside and fast. Getting to her feet she called back to Ziggy and Sara to let them know of her break through before quickly ushering them through the opening, Slamming the door to behind them she quickly set to tipping the nearby locker to act as a barricade, "Help me with this Sara." She urged the girl and after a few heaves it came crashing to it's new resting place with a loud clang, just in time too as the growls of the dead were now being accompanied by the pounding of hands on metal, they were trying to push it open but even if they did manage to fully break the lock there was now a large and very heavy locker acting as a doorstop. Taking a breath she turned to the duo. "Both of you alright?" she asked, ignoring the fact that her nose was now bleeding from the impact with the ground a moment ago. Waiting their response she looked down at her hatchet, the blade visibly dull Ayita shook her head before sliding it back into her pack, "We should probably clear this place out and make sure there aren't any lurking around before we take a breather."

Just as Ayita rammed the door with her shoulder, Ziggy looked back and saw her fall face first inside.

"Ayi! Shit!" Ziggy said, running over and grabbing Ayita's arm helping her get up.

As Sara and Ayita pulled the locker in front of the door, Ziggy held the shotgun in front of her waiting for a deadhead to show up. As soon as the door was secure, Ayita asked if they were okay but it looked like she was the one who needed help. Ziggy held the shotgun to the side with her right hand, using her left hand to grab Ayita's head, checking out her injuries.

"Scheisse, not good!" Ziggy said. "Hope it's not brok..."

A deadhead appeared in the small corridor that separated the office from the workplace. Releasing Ayita's head, Ziggy pushed her to the side by her shoulder, grabbing the shotgun with two hands and pulling the trigger. The shot was in the center mass, causing the deadhead to split in two with both parts flying down the corridor.

"Mutterficker!" Ziggy cursed, the meaning of the swear probably being self-explanatory. She walked over to the upper side of the deadhead and bashed its brains out with the stock of the shotgun.

It was then she saw another one in the workplace. Cocking the shotgun, she walked closer to the deadhead and blew its head clean off, with the decapitated body falling down backwards. Ziggy lowered the shotgun and cringed in pain. That last shot really hurt her shoulder. Biting through the pain, she looked around. Unless there were some hidden spots where deadheads were hiding, the place seemed all but empty. A couple of cars were in the garage, neatly covered with a tarp. Well, seemed they had options in choosing a vehicle at least.

"Looks like it's clear guys, get in here!" Ziggy called. As she waited for Ayita and Sara, Ziggy tried looking for any weaknesses that needed reinforcement. Finding a few, she figured she'd get to work as soon as they were set up here.

Making sure her hatchet was secure in it's home once more Ayita stood and turned back to her companions for her answer, a stream of blood had begun to snake it's way down her face but she chose to ignore it for the time as they had more pressing matters. Caught off guard by the sudden contact Ziggy made she half jerked away from the touch but stopped herself as she came to understand what the girl was doing. Just like how she had with her Ziggy was now doing the same to her, checking the extent of the wound. "It's fine, we can deal with it after we clear this place out." She responded to the girls words with conviction but gave her a smile that read 'thank you for the concern' as the sound of one of the dead sounded from the corridor behind them that connected the room with the main work area, Ziggy delt with it in quick fashion but soon enough another showed it's face.

Hearing the loud blast of the shotgun Ayita jumped as her ears began to ring. The u-yo-hu-sv quickly toppling to the ground after that; The red goo that it's head had contained mere seconds before now decorated the wall behind the body in gruesome red hues and as she turned her head back to Ziggy she noticed a third creature begin to approach Ziggy's flank. Ayita didn't hesitate and quickly closed the distance before sliding one of her arrows from it's quiver and driving the sharpened tip into the creatures skull, it's limbs going lifeless just a couple feet from grabbing her companion, Just as the other had it soon fell to the ground and joined it's dead comrade in a heap on the floor. The weight of the creature aided in retrieving her arrow after which she set to wiping the gore off on her pants before returning it to it's home. "That was too close.." Ayita muttered before wiping the blood from her face, looking down at it she frowned and hoped that they could find some gauze to wrap her it up with soon to halt the bleeding, it wasn't bad nor did it feel like it was broken upon inspection but damn did it hurt. Turning her attention back to the task at hand she looked to Ziggy who's face contorted into pain for a brief moment. "I'll be right back, stay here. Sara, Watch for any we missed." And with that she turned and began to make her way into the main area.

Quickly doing a once over of the wide open work area and seeing no more u-yo-hu-sv Ayita set to searching for any sort of medical supplies, maybe a medkit in a back office or something. Nothing in the office, Nor in the storage room. Making her way to the main area she skirted the edge of the wide room, the drawers and cabinets were filled with miscellaneous tools and supplies used in repairing vehicles, a few things missing here and there but all and all it seemed that whoever was here before had made a point of locking the place up tight. It was then she found it, a corpse sat upon the floor and leaned against the wall, the medkit sitting open next to it with the gauze in the dead man's hands. "I'm sorry.." She mouthed quietly as she saw the large gash in the mans arm and the bullet hole in his head that looked to be self inflicted. Ayitas stomach churned as she fetched the supplies from the corpse, no matter how many dead bodies she saw it never got any easier.

Returning to the others Ayita motioned for Ziggy to sit down. "Let me change your bandages Sieglinde." She said, choosing to use the girls full name even though she probably butchered the pronunciation but she figured that she would correct her if this was in fact the case and when was a better time to learn then the present? "The person that must've been holding up in here is in there." she explained as she waited for Ziggy to sit in the nearby office chair that rested against the wall. "He... He didn't make it."

Sara had barely said a word to her two companions in the days of knowing them she mostly work in her little black book about what she had seen in her travels with them which wasn't much. When all hell was breaking loose Sara stayed close to them only armed with her knife as her gun was out of bullets. She was shaking like a leaf and she never had to kill any of the dead before she normally just hide or ran away from them. Even if they were attacking her she still found it hard to kill them, so she did her best to avoid them. As she heard Ayita tell her to stay and watched any that they might have missed she tensed up. "W-Well umm...Okay." said Sara nervously. She stood looking around like a lost puppy waiting for it's master. All she could think about right now was getting back home to her family and hoping that they were okay. They were still along way from Maine but hell in the end Sara knew this would all be worth it.

She looked around clenching her knife tightly to her chest as her hand was shaking. "You're gunna be okay...This will pass and the dead will not get you." said Sara softly to herself.

Ziggy felt touched yet slightly annoyed that Ayita wanted to change her bandages before tending to her own wounds. Her bandages could wait, Ayita's wounds needed more urgent care. Still, a warm shiver went through her body as she heard Ayita say her full name. It wasn't as good as the German pronounciation itself, but the best one could expect from someone who grew up speaking English.

"Schätzien, my bandages can wait." Ziggy answered. "You took quite a fall back there, let's tend to you first."

Ziggy put the shotgun down, grabbed Ayita and pushed her gently but firmly down into a sitting pose. Ziggy knew if she wouldn't force Ayita she'd just say something to put others before herself again. And well, she was German for something right?

She took the supplies and started tending to Ayita's headwound, taking a gauze and some disinfectant, cleaning her cheek where the blood had run down her face. She had previously declined stitching a girl's wounds up but regular first aid wasn't rocket science.

"You don't have to put me before yourself." Ziggy said. "We're a team, we're all equally ranked here."

It wasn't like Ziggy didn't appreciate Ayita's care, but the idea was that they took care of eachother, all three of them. Ziggy wanted to exclaim that. Ayita's nostrils were bloody and a some drips had begun pouring out again. Grabbing another gauze from the medkit, Ziggy put it on Ayita's nose, taking Ayita's hand with her hand and putting it on the gauze.

"Here, pinch!" Ziggy said. She gave Ayita a smile and stared at her for a second. At that moment Ziggy felt a warmth in her chest. She couldn't deny it, Ayita was quite the looker and with a great caring personality to boot. Maybe if...

Realizing she wasn't done yet, Ziggy a big band aid and put it on Ayita's headwound. It didn't need stitching but it was just to keep the blood from streaming down her face again.

"There, all done Liebchen." Ziggy said, packing up the rest of the medkit in her backpack. She stood up and grabbed the shotgun again. "Stay here and relax for a moment, I'm going to make sure this place is locked up tight.

Ziggy made a round of the place, making sure the windows were boarded up and the doors locked up tight. The doors were made of steel and properly locked with chains and padlocks, and the garage door itself was anchored to the concrete floor below. She also had a look at the dead guy in the office and made a mental note to put him outside if she got the chance. If they were going to hole up here a few days, the least they could do was make it hygienic.

Returning to Ayita and Sara, Ziggy noticed a few skylights up in the ceiling that appeared to be openable. So they had roof access too, which was good. There was probably a ladder laying around too.

"Skylights..." Ziggy said as she pointed out the ceiling windows. "If we can open it we can make a fire right here inside. Would be good to have roof access too for shooting."

But those were worries for at least fifteen minutes later. Ziggy sat down next to Ayita and took off her boots, letting her feet breathe for the first time in hours. She hoped she could find some sneakers while they were there too, maybe a nice pair of Converse Allstars...

"You might want to keep your nose pinched a little while longer." Ziggy joked, referring to her smelly feet. "I desperately need new socks..."

She snickered and then waved Sara over to come join them. Ziggy didn't know what it was with that girl but she always seemed really anxious. That had to change, Ziggy needed to know she could rely on Sara if shit hit the fan. They all needed to rely on eachother if they were going to make it out here, just the three of them.

Waiting for Sara to come over, Ziggy gave two taps on Ayita's tigh. A gesture that might've been considered inappropriate when civilization still reigned, but what now seemed an appropriate way to show appreciation.

"You did good Ayi." Ziggy said. "Really good. We're really kicking this verdammter apocalypse's ass."

Medical kit in hand as she rounded the corner to rejoin her two companions Ayita winced from the pain she felt from her nose. Defiantly need to get that taken care of after I get her wounds taken care of. She noted to herself. The blood had since begun to travel down her cheek and a few drops found their way to the ground. Pulling the chair to the wall and facing it out she waited for Ziggy to take a seat but was surprised when instead of doing so the blonde placed her hands on her and guided her to the seat herself. "it's fine. Really Sieglinde.." She said as she felt herself come to rest in the chair, but Ziggy wasn't taking no for an answer it seemed.

"I'm fine Sieglinde. We need t-" Ayita started, but was once again stopped in her tracks as the girl took the medkit from her hands. Popping it open and running a collection of gauze along her cheek and to her bleeding nose Ayita blushed slightly at Ziggy's touch. Hearing her say to not carry everything herself, that they were a team and were all equals Ayita let her eyes drop to the ground, or as close to the ground as they could go with her head tilted in the manner in which it was at the moment. "I'm sorry." She muttered at the girls words, her cheeks still tented with hues of pinks and reds she felt a sense of uncertainty, It had been a long time since someone considered her a member of something, Although this was the first time she stuck around long enough to give someone the chance the feeling still remained. "Team huh?" She said, hearing the words made the feeling even more complex, maybe it was time to give this 'team' thing a try, who knew maybe it was for the better at this point. focusing on the ceiling Ayita didn't fight her helper as she went about her business but couldn't help but tense up as she felt Ziggy place her hand on hers before guiding it up to her face.

Doing as she said Ayita pinched her nose shut, As she did she felt the extent of the work that the girl had done for her. Keeping her head tilted she let her eyes skirt the edges of her eyelids as she tried to keep Ziggy in sight. "Umm, Before. The name you called me." She began before letting her head straighten. "Schatziean? I think. What, What does it mean?" She asked before hearing her call her another name that Ayita figured had roughly the same meaning but was unsure. "Also umm... Th.. Thank you, I.. I was going to take care of it. I.. I swear." She stammered at the sight of the girl. Why is my heart pounding? She wondered as she took notice of the fact she was stammering in the girls presence and the more she did the louder her heart beat got in her ears. "Thank, thank you, Sieglinde." A small smile found it's way to her face at the thought, her eyes falling shut for a moment before letting her sight settle once again on the cute blonde, cute? girls can be cute right? I mean.. Ayita flustered herself as her mind continued to race with these confusing thoughts.

Hearing Ziggy say something Ayita didn't quite catch it as she was lost in her feelings, in trying to quell her heartbeat. "Where are you going?" she asked, but it was too late and Ziggy had already disappeared through the doorway back into the main work area. That's when she heard Sara's timid voice speak up about how she was going to check to make sure the place was fully secure, at these words Ayita's mind was put at relative ease, "Oh, Alright." Why am I so concerned? I mean, she's been surviving for as long as I have. Ayita thought, But the worry stayed. It wasn't until Ziggy reappeared that she felt the feeling recede back into the abyss of her mind, a relieved sigh met the air before she heard Ziggy mention a skylight, Looking in the direction that the girl had pointed Ayita was greeted with an opening in the roof before hearing Ziggy continue. "A fire inside? What.. What are we going to burn though?" She asked before looking around the room, Nothing instantly popping out at her as something you could use for fuel except things that put out toxic fumes such as tires and other rubber based items.

Feeling her cheeks go red again as Ziggy sat next to her Ayita watched as the girl released her feet from her boots, revealing her long dirtied socks with the joke about the smell, To be honest Ayita couldn't smell a thing except the slightest hints of iron from the blood that still clung to the inside of her nostrils. "I don't mind." she said shaking her head at the joke, Her heart began to race again as she looked to Sara that sat across the room, the nervous looking girl being called over by Ziggy didn't look too confident in her new surroundings. About to say something Ayita tensed up again as she felt Sieglinde tap on her thigh. Jerking her head towards Ziggy she let out a shriek in surprise at the the touch, not a loud one but a quiet noise that some would probably describe as 'cute' "W.. What?" she asked, her cheeks blazing red as the words left her lips in a manner that oozed shyness. I did good? And, Ayi.. She used the shortening again. "I'm.. I'm nothing special or.. Or anything.. I.. I'm.." she couldn't finish her sentence, "Thank you.." She finally worked out, Usually always calm and collective it was strange that she was now finding herself at a loss for words, like some unknown force was stealing her train of thought every time she looked at the blonde in front of her. But.. Why? What's making me feel like this? The thoughts continued to flow through her mind as she kept stealing shy glances at the blonde next to her. never for very long though as when she did her heart began to pound. What is this feeling?

Sara was sitting by herself looking at her little black reading the stories that she had gather from people while on the road. She looked over at the book as a way to calm her nerves. She was lost in thought as she read the book in silence but when she looked over at Ziggy and Ayita she could see the two of them getting along very well. She saw Ziggy waving over to her and she got up as she walked over to the two girls shyly. She was comfortable around Ayita but Ziggy it was almost like having a big sister at least that how Sara looked at it. "Hey guys...I want to apologize I feel like I haven't been pulling my weight and I know you two are working hard to get me home and I honestly am grateful for you guys. I'll be honest...I haven't killed any of the dead yet. I usually avoid and hide from them." said Sara to the two women. She took her bag off her back and pulled out her empty Ruger Security Six showing it to them. "I don't even have bullets for this thing nor do I know how to use it. I've kept it with me just in case I need to bluff my way out of a situation." explained Sara to the girls. She let out a heavy sigh as she took off her glasses to clean them briefly but once she finished cleaning them she set them down putting her hair long hair up in a messy bun before putting her glasses back on.

Sara grabbed her little black book and a pencil from her bag as she smiled at Ziggy. "Ziggy I want to ask you something if that's okay. What was your life like before all this?" asked Sara to Ziggy. She then turned to Ayita and was sill smiling. "Did you ever have a special someone in your life?" asked Sara to Ayita. She tapped her the tip of her pencil on the paper read to write. She found that getting people's stories finding out who they were before all this made it interesting as everyone came from different walks of life.

Ziggy smiled when Ayita apologized and chuckled a bit. Ayita asked what Schätzien meant, making Ziggy chuckle again, looking Ayita in the eyes and smiling even wider, trying to make her feel more at ease.

"Literally translated it means 'little treasure'." Ziggy answered. "But we use it to say 'darling', 'honey' or 'sweetheart'."

Ziggy could notice Ayita wasn't used to being called that, or at least not by a girl. Not everyone was as comfortable with her sexuality as herself, although it took an apocalypse for Ziggy to figure out she was bisexual as well. What if Ayita felt the same that she felt when she got closer to Brittany? Would there be a chance? Was she already completely over Brittany to start something new? She loved Brittany and she knew she'd want her to be happy again. A pang of guilt went through Ziggy but she kept her composure towards Ayita.

"We'll figure out something." Ziggy answered to the question of what they were going to burn. "Still a lot of things around that are made of wood right?"

She never did understand why Americans made telephone and electrical poles out of wood. In Germany they were all made of steel, hell all across Europe really. And she never did understand why Americans still built houses of wood, especially in a country that got the occasional hurricane. But her thoughts on infrastructure quickly dwelled when Ayita pointed out the fact that she couldn't smell with her nose pinched shut. Ziggy facepalmed herself and chuckled.

Sara then spoke up, apologizing for not pulling her weight and thanking them for keeping her alive. Ziggy raised an eyebrow though when Sara said she never killed any of the dead. But wasn't that a skill on its own? To get through everything without hurting anyone? No one was that lucky. Still, if she didn't know how to use a gun Ziggy figured she'd show her later. She didn't know too much of it herself before she met Brittany. And now she knew how to disassemble and clean them, and how to fix malfunctions in the middle of a firefight.

"It's okay Sara." Ziggy answered. "But you're going to have to learn. One day you might not be able to either bluff or hide away, and you might have to fight. And that can happen sooner than you think."

Ziggy pointed at her head injury, indicating she had to fight not too long ago. Sara then grabbed a notebook and asked her questions, ready to write down answers. Ziggy gave her a confused look at first but didn't see any reason not to indulge her. Who knows, someday someone might read about the German girl who was lost in post-apocalyptic America.

"Nothing too exotic." Ziggy answered. "I lived in Germany with my parents and siblings. Finished school. My parents used to take us on far away travels. Been to China and Japan, South-Africa and to America. First time I came here I was fourteen years old. Came back after I finished high school in Germany, went to the University of Vermont. Then all this started."

Ziggy squinted her eyes at Sara when she asked Ayita if she ever had someone special in her life. Her questions seemed completely random and a bit silly. Still she was glad she didn't get that specific question. She hadn't talked about Brittany much and she didn't know if she was up for it yet. Still, she was very interested in what Ayita would answer.

"Yeah, did you Ayi?" Ziggy said teasingly, raising one eyebrow and smiling to add to the taunt. "And please spare no details!"

Ziggy put her hands on her hips and waited for Ayita's answer. She was teasing sure, but still very interested in what Ayita had to say.

Still bright red Ayita sat and listened as Ziggy explained the meaning of the word she used. "T..T..Treasure? I'm no...Nothing, As.... s...S...Special as... A tresure." she stuttered, her cheeks glowing it was an oddity that they didn't give off their own light. Trying to hide her face she was caught off guard by the sudden questions thrown their way from Sara, As Ziggy began answering and bits of her past came to be known to the group Ayita finally began to understand why Ziggy always called her german names, not only did she like the culture, it was her culture. Listening to her continue about how she traveled with family a lot and how she was going to school in America when the dead began to walk Ayita found herself wanting to know more, why was it so interesting? She couldn't give you an answer if she was asked. She just was. Everything Ziggy was was interesting to her now. Why? Was this what having a crush feels like? Ayita didn't know.

Hearing the question turn to her direction and the question itself containing just what she was so confused about. Not what I was hoping she's ask.. What do I say? Do I shut down? No. I can't, Ziggy's curious too. What do I do. she shouted to herself internally, everything was jumbled up. Her stomach turned and her mind flooded with possible answers, none of which seemed like a viable excuse to not answer the question. Her gaze went to the floor as her mind continued to race. Lie? No. Run away? Again, No. With a deep breath Ayita looked back up, once to Sara and then to Ziggy. Her cheeks still burnt read with fluster "Fine, None of what I'm about to say leaves this room though, promise." she said, her normal calm and collectiveness replaced with determination hinted with fear.

Taking a deep breath she started. "No, I haven't. not until now at least, I don't know. Before all this I never left home, You see, My father was extremely protective of me, more so than the rest of my family because of what happened with my mom when I was born. Everything I did, Everything I was was at home, I lived, Worked and learned at home. The end of the world was the first time I ventured passed our woods, the first time I saw a proper town. The first time I talked to people that weren't related to me. I've never experienced love so I don't know what the feeling is but." Taking a breath she attempted to steady her speech before she turned to Ziggy, Still contentious of Sara's presence she was extremely shaky as she began to continue. "But for some reason whenever you call me those German nicknames, or whenever you call me Ayi my heart starts pounding and my cheeks always go flush. So, Does that mean that you're special to me? In some subconscious way? I don't know what to make of the feelings." Her head fell to the ground once more as she finished, clutching her chest with her fist as her heart was racing now she felt confused, Why do those nicknames make my heart race? She asked herself, Her father used to call her nicknames all the time and they never did anything, they were just names. But why? Why is a nickname getting her so worked up? "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that..." Ayita muttered after a long time of silence. "I don't know what's going on, I've never felt like this before. Am I getting sick?" she asked. Never looking up from the ground she waited for Sara or Ziggy to respond with her answer.

Ziggy couldn't help but grin at Ayita's stuttering. It was adorable. She just wanted to hug her and not let go for quite some time. But it all started to make sense now. Living isolated in the woods because of an overprotective father, being completely away from the world... Did she really never get to experience the world the way it was before? It just seemed so unreal to Ziggy.

But Ziggy's heart in turn started racing as well when Ayita confessed she felt something whenever she'd call her a nickname in German. She felt butterflies in her stomach and was happy with the confession. She took Ayita by the hand, raising her head with the other and looked her right in the eyes, smiling as she did.

"You're not sick, because if you were I'd be sick too." Ziggy said, tilting her head to the side a bit and biting her lip as soon as she had spoken.

Ziggy stroked Ayita's hair, putting it behind her ear so her face was clear. She wasn't sure whether or not to try and kiss her seeing as this was all new to Ayita. Still, she wanted to. Badly. But she also didn't want to scare her off. Still, this was one of those moments in which you had to act and Ziggy being who she was went in and softly kissed Ayita on the lips. Their lips touched for a good five seconds before Ziggy backed off again, keeping her forehead against Ayita's.

"Guess we're both going to need a doctor." Ziggy said, making light as she had no idea how Ayita was going to react.
