Mickey-Quinn
Mickey stayed eerily silent for the pursue of food, or people. It seemed that the only thing she could do was stay quiet. Conversation would break the focus, the determination. She poked into the bag and pulled out her knife, Raina had come unarmed and Mickey was the protector apparently. The sun was now mid-way in the sky, it was bright and rays of it's light shone down. Debris was scattered across the path of their trek, having to wade through it. The invisible eyes were bothering Mickey incredibly today, the feeling of being watched was beginning to scare her. "Raina, do you feel like you're being.. watched?" Mickey asked Raina the question quite shakily. "No. Why?" She hesitated at the question and began to speak. "I feel like I'm being watched. Maybe someone is near.." She glanced around the alleys wearily and back to Raina, excepting an answer. Instead of an answer she just nodded sideways. Mickey rolled her eyes and placed the knife she was holding in her pocket. The foul scent she had noticed earlier, seemed to only linger around the hotel's entrance. A short sigh sounded and Mickey slowed her pace. "What?" Raina asked looking rather annoyed. "Nothing, I just need a break from walking." She replied to Raina's snarky words, walking over to a curb that was still intact. Raina let out a grunt and just walked on. She spoke to her with a uncertain tone to her voice. "You can't keep going. You have no weapon, take mine, I'm going back to our room to take a nap." Mickey took the knife from her pocket and held it out to her friend. Raina looked up and down at the knife and took it from her hand. She began to walk away. "Be safe." Raina said over her shoulder quite plainly. Mickey nodded and got up from the cement curb she was occupying, the wind gathered streaks of her hair and blew them into her face. She stroked them away and behind her ear.
Mickey didn't really want to head to the hotel, she actually wanted to rest at the park nearby. Patches of grass and occasionally cement sidewalks ran through. Most of the park remained untouched, which was very nice. The trees let of a nice aroma of the forest, but only a faint one. And a hard rock was randomly dropped in the middle of it all, where Mickey was sitting. She stared at the sky with squinted eyes, too bright. Her hands were lazily pasted on the surface of the rock, they were sweating because of the heat radiating off the stone. Mickey closed her eyes and sat back.
Raina
The light gleamed off of the smooth blade she was holding. Raina had taken over the task of finding food, since searching for people was too absurd. She knew there was a corner-store nearby, it had a decent amount of food, and candy for pleasure. Raina started to the place she knew would have food and kicked away gravel and rocks in her walking range. Although it was morning, she was incredibly tired and wanted only to rest. She was nice to actually let Mickey leave her and go to the hotel. Raina would normally protest and tell her to stay. The corner-store's walls began to come to view, the brick was partly fallen but the building still remain standing. Raina quickened her pace and ran to the entrance of it. She opened the rickety door and a bell rung, but it was out of tune. It crashed down to the floor and sounded a final ting. Aisles of the store were empty but there was always food hidden somewhere, people would hide the food then come back for it. Finding food was Raina's specialty, because there was popular places to hide the supplies. First she walked to the cashier counter and opened the cupboards, only thing in there was gum. Useless. Raina though. She tried all the cupboards in the store, a total of three. Nothing there. The waste of looking in that spot dampened her spirits, but there was still more places to stash food. A slow, dragging walk brought Raina to the back of the store where boxes of food used to be, a while ago Raina took all but six. That food had been eaten now, but some boxes still remained. She stepped over to one and grabbed the cardboard flaps, she flung them open and found a bit of food. Beef jerky, two small bags of chips and a sub sandwich. This could last them a week and a half, if they really tried. But they still had a good amount off food back at the hotel. Picking up the three items, Raina placed them gently in a bag mickey had let on the curb. The mall down the way still had a very large amount of food, enough for at least seen people for three weeks. But that was too far for Raina to walk, she would have to have full strength and not be tired for that. A open door was waiting for her, and as she stepped out Raina took one of the chip bags and placed it on one of the shelves. "Let's see if someone is near. Since these biters are too dumb to pick up anything other than victims." Raina said to her self in a hushed voice. She walked slowly towards the exit and looked over the store one last time. Soon after, Raina got out of the store and began to walk towards the hotel.
