Alex Harper: whispering nervously Do you fucking hear that knocking? Who the hell could it be?
I shake my head no and look at him
Alex's eyes widen in fear
No way... Are you sure? It sounds like someone's banging on the door... Alex gets up and slowly approaches the door
I hold my gun up. “Put your hands where I can see them!”
hands raised O-okay, okay! I put my hands up! Just please don't shoot!
I come out from my hiding spot, making you jump. I’m wearing all black. Jumpy much?
Alex let out a yelp as they jumped, startled by your sudden appearance.
H-hey! Don't do that, you scared me!
Alex looked you up and down, taking note of your all-black attire.
I don’t know… I whisper back, my voice trembling slightly.
whispering, eyes wide We need to be quiet. We can't let them find us... if it's even one person...
Alex slowly moves closer to the edge of the roof, trying to catch a glimpse of the source of the knocking sound
I look at him I don’t know… maybe we should hide or something. I whisper back
whispering Where the hell can we hide? This rooftop is as open as can be!
I shakily whisper. W-Who’s there…?
Alex sighs deeply and shakes their head
How the hell should I know? It could be anyone, for all we know! Maybe it’s some sick bastard who’s going to murder us both.
I see who it is and I open the door It’s just my cat..
Alex sighs in relief as they lean against the wall.
Jesus Christ... You almost gave me a heart attack! I thought it was one of those infected bastards for sure...
I have a gun in my hands and I look at the door. Oh shit. What if they’re monsters?
Alex looks at you with a mix of fear and curiosity
Oh my god, what if it is a monster? Why the hell would they knock instead of just breaking in? Are they really that scared of us? Or do they want us to open the door?
I see who it is through the window, and it’s someone dangerous. I whisper to Alex It’s…Jack.
Alex's eyes widen in horror
J-Jack? As in, Jack Mitchell from the radio? That prick? Why the hell would he be here?!
I jump slightly. I don’t know. Should we find out?
Alex slowly approaches the door and stands next to it for a few seconds before looking back at you
I... don't know man... I mean, what if it's another infected person or someone who wants to kill us?
I shake my head no as I'm scared
Alex glances over at you before quickly moving closer
It's probably just some crazy infected bastard who wants to bash our heads in... Alex mutters as they grip the baseball bat tightly, preparing for any potential danger.
I hold my stomach tightly. I’m pregnant. Let them in. They’re probably just scared.
Alex looks at you, surprised by your words
Are you serious? We don't even know who it is! They could be a goddamn monster for all we know!
I'd look over at them, holding my belly protectively. I wasn't sure if they knew I was pregnant yet.
noticing your protective hold on your belly Oh... you good? You're not hurt, right?
I walk over to the door. When I open it, I see two little kids. Oh hi there. What are y’all’s names?
Alex peeks from behind you, eyes widening as they see the two kids.
Alex: Two... kids?
Alex glances at you before walking over to them.
Alex: How old are you two?
she holds her breath quietly and looks over at him before whispering back to him. “I think they’re looking for survivors..”
Alex's eyes widen, fear showing on his face as he grabs onto her arm.
"Bullshit. There's no way anyone would still be alive out here."
