Sparrow and Rachel's Zome OnexOne

[Sparrow]

Vincent remains motionless.

About seven doors down something is curled up in a patch of dusty sunlight coming in from a window beside it. Hearing Lily it raises its head looking in the opposite direction, but then slowly turns its head to her direction. It makes a low gargling sound as it adjusts it eyes to the rest of the hall’s shade.

Victor walks over to him trying to keep his steps silent.
“It’s about a little less than a block away.” he says lowly.
Suddenly a harsh exhale is heard from behind.
Victor turns his head to look for the source. However he wishes he hadn’t.
The Wyvern is glaring at them through the hall entrance across from the front desk.
“Don’t move.” he whispers, he keeps still, hoping that Jurassic Park held some truth to it.
The Wyvern lowers its head and quickly crawls over to them. It raises its head to their eye level. It exhales sharply causing Victor’s hat to fly off. However the Wyvern doesn’t seem to focus on them, instead it peers around the room.

((Look at Zombie Guide book for what Lily sees))

[Rachel]

Lily spotted the creature and her eyes immediately widened. She crept her fingers into her jacket pocked but otherwise remained as still as she could. She held her breath to keep her chest from moving.

01372, beginning to feel rather ill, glanced over at the Wyvern, his jaw clenched. He otherwise did as Victor told him, pressing himself against the hallway wall and breathing slowly.

((How long d'you reckon till night? x3))

[Sparrow]

Vincent shakily writes, in regards to Jonah,
“Help him too.” and slides the paper to Lynn.

The Wall Crawler stands upright tucking its front legs to its body. It sniffs the air and bobs its head, but otherwise remains still. However it notices Lily’s sent and beings making a high pitched call. It falls back to being on all fours and thrashes its tail as a warning continuing the call.

The Wyvern tilts its head to the side focusing one eye on the two. A small sound is heard from the hall which the Wyvern turns to investigate. After a moment it goes back into the hall. Victor, still shaken by the close call, silently points at the door that leads outside. He waits to see if 01372 needs help walking.

((Well the sun came up when the Wyvern appeared. So I’d guesstimate it to be around 2-3:00pm. But if you want it to be dark out, a maybe ‘toxic’ storm could always come. X3))

[Raven]

Lynn nodded. "Of course," she replied.

[Rachel]

Jonah ignored Lynn who was seemingly talking to herself.

Lily backed away, quickly reloading the gun. She should've done it when she was downstairs with the others, but, then again, she didn't know she was going to be attacked. As soon as she was done, she pulled it out and aimed it at the creature, quickening her pace.

01372 nodded and pushed himself off the, limping towards the door. He gritted his teeth as he walked, determined to continue on and make it to help.

[Sparrow]

The Wall crawler immediately notices movement. It runs at her, then jump up and crawls along the right wall.

Victor holds the door open and waits for 01372, keeping an eye on the hallway.
As soon as they are a few feet from the door Victor looks to 01372 and holds his arm out to him.
“You need help walking? It’s about a block away.” he asks lowly.
Suddenly he hears something; it’s off to the side ahead of them on the street. It was the sound of a tin can being kicked.

[Rachel]

Lily stumbled backwards and, upon spotting a slightly open door, dived into it. She slammed it shut after her and fumbled with the lock, shaking.
She managed to twist it and stagger back towards the far wall. Then, she realised that there could be any number of creatures inside. She caught her lip between her teeth and raised the gun, slowly glancing around.

01372 shook his head, stepping forward on his good leg. Then, he heard the tin. He froze, leaning against the building-front and placed a hand to his forehead. He could see tiny black spots.

[Sparrow]

The creature gives up quickly and retreats back to the sunny spot.
A flapping sound can be heard in the room. Suddenly a Gray parrot flies past Lily and lands on a table. The parrot appears to be wearing a sliver and red collar with,
“#12” imprinted on a rectangular nameplate.

Victor watches the ally for a moment before turning to 01372.
“Okay I’m helping you if you like it or not. You look like your about to pass out.” he says lowly, walking over.
“The fact we’re being watched means an attack can’t be far off.” he say looking to the ally again.
Whatever is in the ally hides behind a dumpster.

[Rachel]

Lily's hands followed the parrot swiftly, relaxing slightly when she saw that it was only a bird. Then she frowned. What was around it's neck?
Shaking away the urge to walk over and look, she stayed against the wall, still carefully glancing across the room.

01372 made a noise but didn't say anything, trying to blink away the spots that were only getting bigger. He hadn't really heard what Victor said, but whatever it was, Victor would repeat it if he hadn't given the right response and it was actually important, he was sure.

[Sparrow]

The parrot plays around with a pen on the table, then rolls it off.
“Hello?” a quiet staticed voice questions.

Victor waves his hand in front of 01372’s face.
“Hey dude? Can you hear me?” he asks, then glances at the ally.

[Rachel]

Lily's green eyes widened as she heard the voice. She glanced around, panicky, before deciding that it must be coming from the parrot; there was no where else for it to come from.
She hesitated before deciding to answer. "Hello..." she said slowly, stepping back slowly.

01372 blinked and glanced over at Victor. Then, he collapsed.

[Sparrow]

The parrot turns its head to look at Lily, its left eye glows red.
“Hello, who are you.” It asks in the same tone, tilting its head to the side.
It has a silver plate surrounding the red eye.

Victor facepalms,
“Well that’s just great.” he says lowly and annoyed.
He peers around,
“What do I do now?” he questions lowly.
He spots a row of cars,
“Why not...”
Quickly he looks in the car windows and finds one with keys locked inside.
“Epic car owner fail.” he says before breaking the window and opening the door.
After a few tries the car starts; he jumps out and gets 01372 and puts him in the back seat.
He takes the wheel and begins driving slowly down the road so the car wouldn’t stall.
“That was easy...” he says calmly.
Suddenly a loud crash is heard, he looks back and sees the Wyvern had crashed through the building and was after the car.
“Or not.” he says quickly, then floors it.

[Rachel]

"No, who are you?" Lily said slowly, raising the gun to point it at the bird nervously. She didn't know what it was and didn't trust it at all.

Jonah heard the Wyvern crash through the wall and frowned. "Did you hear that?" he said lowly, glancing in the vague direction of the noise.

[Sparrow]

Vincent nods but doesn’t look up.

The parrot tilts its head.
“Twelve.” It says in the same voice.
“Is something wrong?” it asks.
Its red eye narrows like a camera lens.

Victor continues to floor it and makes a sharp turn down the street that has help.
The Wyvern flies upward and follows above.
“Why didn’t I take driving lessons?” he mutters.

[Rachel]

Jonah leaned back against the wall, shifting the hand that was pressed against the letter-opener wound. He was holding the fabric of his pants against it. He didn't do anything, although he was much more alert than before. He was uncomfortable without a weapon.

"N-no, nothing," Lily said carefully, frowning at the parrot.
