It had been a marvel that Rosita and her group had come across another survivor out there. The three of them had been on their own for months after losing Stephanie. Despite their cautiousness which came in equal measure to their willpower, the group had gotten smaller and smaller over time. People dying of bite wounds, disease, and one person disappearing. Stephanie had been bitten and cornered by the dead, resulting in Rosita making the tough call and shooting her so she wouldn’t have to suffer through the pain of being devoured alive.
No day went by without them checking every corner, thinking of every possible outcome for each action.. as decisions were like domino stones, one step into the wrong direction could cause colossal fuck-ups.
That’s why there were so few people left.
They’ve been constantly traveling intending to to find a cure in D.C, but they have seen nothing but undead, sometimes hordes of them which forced them to head in another direction. The very reason why they haven’t gotten to D.C yet.
It seemed like an endless trip to Rosita some days.
Seeing that Tara was still awake, Rosita walked over to the woman sitting by the bonfire Eugene had made who was in a deep slumber. Abraham had told Tara that she could go to sleep and they’d take turns watching over each other. Did she not trust them?
Not that Rosita blamed her. There were some messed up groups out there.
“Hey”, Rosita greeted as she gazed into the woman’s face, arms crossed. “You know, we didn’t mean to..”
Taking a breath, she considered her next words carefully, “..watch you die. But we have to be careful with strangers, careful with who we use our bullets for, and when.” Rosita explained, very well aware that it might be a cold thing to say. But it was the truth. They were low on resources, and this mission mattered more than anything. Plus, they didn't have silencers. Gunshots could always attract danger.
“Besides, we knew you could handle yourself.. I mean. Look at you.”
