<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">April was exhausted, walking down the deserted highway. She was dressed in the <strong>outfit</strong> (http://i26.tinypic.com/15n0uma.png) from the night the out break had occurred. Her gray top shimmered a bit as she strolled casually along, dragging a small suit-case behind her. The brunette donned black tights under her top, and matching flats to go along with it. Though her get-up as tattered and torned, it was nothing compared to those bodies and monsters she had encountered. People were covered in blood, half-naked, and even missing limbs. She was one of the lucky ones.<br/><br/>The high way was empty for the most part, a few crashed cars, some dead bodies here and there, but nothing as bad as the city itself. As she exited off, April found herself in a new location, a new city to get through. Had the sign not been totally wrecked, she would have a clue as to where she was. Brushing her hair back, the girl pushed down the handle on her suit case before picking it up by the smaller handle. It was absolutely vital that she was silent. Sure, she could whack a zombie with her light luggage, but that wouldn't work well. It would just draw more attention. <br/><br/>There would usually be a rare occasion of someone driving by, but no one would ever stop. April would do her best to wave and try to draw attention quietly, but everyone would drive off. She couldn't blame them though. Anyone could be infected, even if they didn't show it. A glimmer of hope would always spark inside April when there was a sign of human life, even if those particular humans wouldn't help her.<br/><br/>Standing on a relatively deserted side walk, April held her phone up, searching for a signal. Of course, nothing. Letting out a small sigh, the girl lowered her hand and looked around. Nothing in sight. After a while of stopping and regaining some stamina, the once-spoiled female would continue to wander through as quietly as possible.<br/><br/><em>Beep, Beep.</em><br/><br/>Startled at first, April looked down at the phone in her hand, opening it quickly, hoping it was a text, voice-mail, anything. Her hope diminished within seconds. "Low Battery" Was displayed, flashing right in front of her face. "Of course..." April snapped the cellular phone shut and clutched it tightly.<br/><br/><em>Beep, Beep.</em><br/><br/>"I get it.. now shut up." She was muttering to herself, annoyed and anxious at the same time. Her eyes scanned the area, hoping the sound didn't attract any unwanted attention. Nope, nothing. Of course the phone could be turned off, but that would mean she could miss out on a phone call. April desperately wanted to hear from her family or friends.<br/><br/><em>Beep, Beep.</em><br/><br/>She was this close to chucking the phone away, but she kept it together. But as it continued to beep, the more attention it drew. At first it was just foot steps. Fast foot steps. Turning around quickly, April could see something in the distance, running towards her. A person? It grew closer and closer. An ugly person? No, that wasn't it. Squinting a little at first, her eyes quickly widened, realizing what it really was. <br/><br/>April had begun her sprint, finding herself close to screaming out. She was smarter than that though, even if she was scared out of her wits. The groans were in ear shot now, maybe more than one. It sounded like more foot steps were coming from behind as well. April wasn't going to look back though. The brunette would focus forward, finding a single object to look at, as if it was a goal. Once she got to it, she would find a new one.<br/><br/>Her eyes focused on a vehicle, a hummer. Sprinting as fast as she could, panting already, April moved as if her life was on the line... which it was. Her suitcase bounced daintily in her hand, the other still gripping the beeping mobile.<br/></span>
