thinking fast, I jumped out of a window. I hit the glass with a loud crash, and tucked and rolled out into the terminal. The two conversing looked as they heard this, and I look at them, saying, "get outta here, now!" A reanimated corpse dislodged itself from the window I busted through and flopped on the ground, splattering blood and decay on the ground. "Now!!! Let's move!"
Another man came out, this one alive. He looked no older than me, but somewhat less mature. "What the he'll is going on?!?"
"I don't know, man. But we've gotta go if we want to live to find out-"
Another window crashed, and another zombie dropped out.

{{Hrmmm I need to write myself in somehow. Sorry I haven't been on in a few days. Dx sweatdrop So, I'll just continue where I left off and get more involved...}}
The predator's hair fell across her face, snow white, but dripping with blood. She couldn't restrain herself after draining the man of every drop that had ever pumped through his heart. Her feeding had been quickly and easily. Although it was fun when they struggled, she was too desperate for sport.
{hrmmm backstory time!!}
Weeks before this, she had waited in the dark room she had once called her own. Her mind was blank, her memory wiped clean. Not one word of comfort, anger or fear could be remembered; The feeling of pain and joy was ripped away. What am I? Why am I here? Her first feeling was wonder. After teaching herself to move and testing her incredible strength, she explored the home she hardly recognized. Suddenly she heard voices that were rough to her ears, so she sprinted outside, nearly running into the couple. She tried to speak to them. They looked in fear and began whispering to each other. What's wrong? What did I do? The young demon-like girl stepped closer, wanting to be accepted and understood. And then she breathed deep and listened. She grabbed the couple and forced their chests against her face. Blood. Oh the sweet sound and smell of blood rushing through their bodies. Shortly afterward, the couple lay lying in the ground, white and cold. Her hands were bloodied and she was scared. Scared at what she had done. Scard of what she had become.
Soon she had learned to hunt. But these days, humans were scarce. Zombies were infesting the towns and taking over, confronting her every so often for an attempted bite. Out of pure luck she escaped and simply refused to be reduced to a mindless, ugly creature. The girl was already terrible enough; being undead wouldn't really help.
{and back to now}
So when she jumped up on the next train that came by, expecting brilliant human flesh, her eyes flashed in anger. She tore out a beam from the railing on the back of the train and thrashed madly at all the zombies, avoiding their touch and their glare. After fighting through zombies and terrified humans, who she was too irritated to even think about, the girl made it to the front of the train. The humans controlling it had already fled, so she ripped out the brakes and any means of steering. She jumped off to the side of the train, throwing the large, now red, metal railing behind her. To her amusement it got caught in between the weels and the rails and the train jumped the track, exploding only a few yards in front of her. However, zombies have a stronger will to live than the ones already alive, so a mass of zombies slowly put themselves back together and pursued her.
{Note: this is the explosion that Runner saw in his last post...}

Back in the city, in a small cemetery, Gresley watched the sky. A large cloud of smoke had risen from ahead of the apple-green train he'd been watching. He took no notice. He figured that 15 seconds of flying practice was enough for one day, and walked back home.The Toombs House in which he lived was left to him by his grandparents, long dead, possibly roaming around somewhere as zombies. The house was large, tall, and menacing. Years of neglect left the house in a dilapidated state, it's wooden walls stained in dirt, soot, and blood. Gresley didn't live alone in this house, he lived with his two sisters. Both shared Gresley's snow-white hair and orange eyes, but not his wings. There was a second cousin who used to live there, but she had gone mad and run off. The same day Gresley's parents were found dead in the front yard, seemingly malled by some ravage beast.
The front door swung open with a very audible creak. Too fast, the doorknob had driven itself into the wall."Dammit," whispered Gresley, shutting the door. He turned and jumped. A young girl with snow-white hair glomped him, nearly knocking him over."Gresley! Gresley! You're home! Looky! I drew you a picture! Do ya like it?" questioned Lancastria, Gresley's younger sister."Yeah, that's nice Lani," Gresley responded. "Where's Leota?" referring to his twin sister."Oh she's in the music room, playing the piano. 'Said she's trying to 'master the greats', whatever that means," Lancastria said, shrugging. She then skittered away to her room to make more of her art.
The house was dark, electricity was cut off when the new mayor took over. Gresley found Leota sitting at the piano. She jumped when he spoke."Doesn't look like you're trying to 'master' anything," teased Gresley as he leaned on the door frame. "Can't rush perfection," Leota responded, turning back to the piano.Suddenly, a low boom could be heard in the distance. The twins ran to the window. A train had exploded on one of the iron bridges that towered over the city. Another train, painted apple-green, had paused short of the inferno to await clearance. As the two watched, a cloaked figure jumped through a window in the first coach and fell to the factories below. He must have thought that the train had arrived at the city's terminal, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped if he wanted to live.As if she had read Gresley's thoughts, Leota glanced at her brother and whispered, "Maybe he isn't alive. If he is, he isn't anymore." {{Aaaaaaaaand SCENE!! Whoo...sorry I made it so long sweatdrop }}

Runner pulled out a Sniper Rifle out of his bag as zombies aproached from the fallen train around the other side, he quickly took pot shots at the four that emerged from the burning wreckage.
"Mr. Marston was it? Well pardon me interupting your serious discussion, but we don't have the time for it, zombies are coming towards the train, and if you want to live I suggest that you start firing at them."
Runner tossed pulled out his spare revolver and tossed it to Mr. Marston.
"Take it, we don't have the time for this."
As Runner took the next shot, a zombie was nailed in the head, splattering it's cranium into little bits of gore.

Another explosion echoed in the distance ahead, followed b one even closer. I realized what was happening, just moments before it would be too late.
"The train's about to-"
Explode. The car to my right erupted, sending shrapnel, limbs and fire everywhere and knocked me flying. I couldn't believe I survived such an explosion at such a close proximity, but the shell of a train car was standing, lit by the blaze in and around it.
"Is everyone okay?!?" I yelled, standing up. My hopes were very near death, but if I could have survived... Who- or what- else made it?
(John, Rose, Marston, Runner and I *are* all in that area, right?)

The apple-green one John, Rose, and Runner are on, the one Freckles was on, and the one Horyoku's on. Leota, Lancastria, and I are at my house watching the first train. There's a fourth train, but it's just a detail. I'm guessing it's all happening within the city limits now (maybe except Freckles), just not at the same exact places. We should probably take some time to establish locations for each character. mrgreen }}

Horyoku Yoake Wait, wait wait! I was eavesdropping on John and Rose's convo in the terminal. how did they wind up on a bridge and me in[/] a train?!?The apple-green train John and Rose are on hasn't made it to the terminal yet. I thought that someone had exploded another train ahead of it, so the apple-green train stopped to wait until the track was cleared. It's still on the bridge. My goodness, this is getting sooo confusing!
