In her hands was a large, circular can of something heavy, possibly condensed meat of sorts, for her own defence; if he jumped up and sprang at her and tried to bite her, she’d smash it over his head without hesitation and he’d be gone. It seemed to be the only way to silence them for good. Lowering her head slightly, her thoughts filled with her family; her parents sitting around their large open fireplace while watching some ER drama they recorded in the morning in order to watch it together. Tears began forming at her eyes, threatening to fall at any minute while she whimpered quietly under her breath. The blond then began thinking of her friends, her cheerleading squad, her closet; what was she going to do? Why was this happening? And to her for Christ’s sake! Had she done something wrong?<br/><br/>Then something caught her attention; breaking glass, footsteps, someone calling out. She didn’t know what to do, everything happened so fast. Scrambling to her feet, Lexi placed the can aside and pressed her body firmly against the aluminium doors, trying to hear better; the female voice didn’t seem far and she was sure that those<em>things</em>couldn’t talk. “Hel-“ Just as she was about to call, she heard the stirring behind her and turned quick, pressing her back against the doors as the strangers she’d dragged in earlier seemed to be moving, gaining consciousness. Taking a few steps towards his form on the ground, she glanced down at him with red, questioning green eyes. “You’re in the University. Don’t you remember anything? You must have slipped on the water outside and knocked yourself out….If I hadn’t of dragged you in here you might have been eaten by one of those things…” Her voice was hushed and she crouched a little besides the red head, helping him to sit up with an urgent haste. “There’s someone out there.” She hissed again, her eyebrows furrowing together in distinct worry. “I’m pretty sure those things can’t talk but….I’m worried.” What the hell was she saying? Did she think the woman to be a rapist or looter? Hell, this man could have been one of the two for all she knew.<br/><br/>Standing, the blond backed away from him with a frown reflecting realization and she began glaring at him. “You better not be a looter or a rapist, you hear?” Turning, she kept her olive coloured eyes on him until the very last second and her hands reached for the broom securing them in place. Maybe it was a rescue team? Maybe their hell had been cut short and they’d be saved? Those questions were too good to pass up, so Alexis tugged the wood from the handles and placed it besides the door. She was careful as she leaned her weight forwards against the door, pushing it ever so slightly open so she could have a peek out into the canteen. “Hello?” The girl hissed out, trying to be quiet but still get the attention of whoever was out there. She couldn’t see anything at first. “Hello? I’m not one of them. I’m still….I mean….I don’t bite people…or eat them. I…” The girl cut herself off as she thought of what to say. “You had better not be a bad person or a biter! Otherwise….I’ll….shoot you with my gun!” Bluffing wasn’t exactly her strong point and colour flushed her cheeks in embarrassment at what she’d said. Hopefully the stranger outside their store room took it seriously enough.<br/>
