Orion was cold and hungry to about the point he would break. He swore he heard his mom out there yelling for him in some attempt to find him, and he took off running. Someone else grabbed his arm though, and he was a bit dazed at first. “Huh? Why?” Had he hallucinated his mom? Was she really searching? He didn’t want to admit defeat and go back. Not now, not ever.

It had only been a few days since Pippa arrived in Cheyenne and she had spent those first couple of days getting acclimated to her new camp. For her, it was odd being kept in the high school, mostly because just a few years ago, Pippa was meant to be in college. She had walked about the halls, getting acclimated to the space, though continuously passed flyers and artwork hung on the walls by students. It left a sour taste in her mouth; knowing that this world, whatever the hell it was, would no longer allow for people to obtain any sort of education. The only education they had was for the best ways of survival and how to handle any guns they came across.

Pippa wanted to learn about literature and film history, not how to handle her dad’s Glock Pistol, no matter if she was a decent shot or not.

Today, after catching up on as much sleep as her brain would allow her, she was sent to check out the area. After arriving, they gave her the position of trader. She had discussed her strengths, which were shooting and running, but they feared for her small size. She understood, of course, and after hearing that she would be traveling to different camps, she realized it was her best shot at finding her brother. If her brother traveled to Cheyenne to find her, maybe she’d spot him on one of her trips.

Suddenly, she turned a corner downtown, only to find a huge hoard of walkers. She immediately slipped behind a wall, relieved that they were far enough away for her to turn back around without them hearing her. While there were times that she could slip through and make a run for it, in this tight space, there was no chance in hell. After some deliberation, she opted for a new trail but then began hearing a body coming toward her. If they ran past, they’d run right into the heart of the hoard and Pippa suddenly felt an adrenaline rush to make sure that didn’t happen.

As soon as she saw the body making their way towards where she was previously, she reached out in hopes to grab their arm before they turned the corner. “Wait.” She hissed, although her tone held no malice, only concern. “You don’t want to do that.”

“Just saying that I warned you.”

“Jesus Christ, stop. It was a coincidence that we both managed to get out. Can we leave it at that?” Sam disregarded the person he had somehow ended up with, his focus drawn more to where the bullet grazed his shoulder.

“Follow you? I’m not a monkey.” Orion was both impressed and intimidated as he watched the guy scaling the wall like some weird version of spiderman. Taking the ladder route, Orion huffed as he emerged at the top. “Damn, you must work out a lot.”

Snapping his head from left to right, mentally counting the walkers zoning in on where he and another survivor were now trapped. Nicky smiled a little, he loved the rush of adrenaline. “Unless you wanna be zombie lunch, follow me or take the ladders.” Nicky stated with a quick lift of his eyebrows as he started to scale the side of the building with ease. It took him all of three seconds to reach the landing on the stairs of the side of the building.

                                 ( BETH REVIS ) ( ACROSS THE UNIVERSE )

“I never thought about how important the sky was until I didn’t have one.”

“Dreams are like that: they go in and out of memories and scenes, but they’re never real. They’re never real, and I hate them because they aren’t.”

“Power isn’t control at all — power is strength, and giving that strength to others.”

“A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger.”

“A leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”

“In the end, we are alone.”

“It is like a piece of my soul is lost, empty.”

“If my life on Earth must end, let it end with a promise. Let it end with hope.”

“Sorry? Sorry isn’t enough.”

“Every single thing I ever loved is beyond my reach now. Everything I ever wanted. Everything I ever was.”

“Will you stay with me?”

“A leader doesn’t make pawns - he makes people.”

“Do you hear that? The pulse of life from your heart, the slow in-and-out from your lungs? Even when you are silent, even when you block out all noise, your body is still a cacophony of life. Mine is not.”

“ It is the silence that drives me mad. The silence that drives the nightmares to me.”

“There is nothing between us but rain. There is nothing between us at all.”

“I like a little chaos.”

“I will never, never be the same.”

“I quit thinking.”

“You must dedicate your whole life to this.”

“You can never show weakness in front of them: you are their strength.”

“You can never let them see you in despair: you are their hope.”

“What if I am dead? How can someone without a beating heart, without breathing lungs live like I do? I must be dead.”

“I want to scream. I want to throw open my eyes wake up and not be alone with myself anymore, but I can’t. I can’t.”

“I will spend all of eternity trapped in my dead body. I will be locked within myself forever.”

“Should we wait?”

“Just give me a chance!”

“It’s bad, being frozen, but it’s better than waking up alone.”

“Everyone has secrets and if you keep asking, you’ll see how far I’m willing to go to keep mine.”

“Memories always kill nightmares.”

“I’m going to find a way to fix you.”

“I am not broken.”

“People are supposed to be like that: obedient, calm, working together. It’s us who can’t obey, can’t focus, who can’t work together, —  we’re the ones who aren’t normal.”

“What were you running from?”

“It’s not like I’ve done anything wrong!”

“I can get closer.”

“Like walking through water. Like drowning.”

“This journey… it’s long.”

“Why run? Run where? What’s the point?”

“People will survive anything for their children.”

“Does it matter if it’s a lie if it keeps us alive?”

“Old people die. It’s what they do.”

“This is… mating, it’s not love.”

“The first cause of discord is difference.”

“I’m not going to be the one to let her drown.”

“Good. I want darkness.”

“Well, that did the trick.”

“I can’t do this. I can’t. It’s too much.”

“Everything is wrong here. Shattered. Broken.”

“I am surrounded by walls. I just replace one box for another.”

“What we imagine is often worse than the truth.”

“Oh, don’t worry, we’re all mad here.”

“I know I look different. But I’m just a person, like you.”

“I definitely think I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole.”

“I don’t like dreams. Sleep is too much like dying.”

“They are dreams, but I’m too out of control, I lose myself in them, and I’ve already lost too much to let them take over.”

“I’ll join in with you. How about that?”

“Yeah, crazy huh? Guess that means I’ll have to do something mental soon.”

scarletxhaven:

“So you’re staying?” she looked back at him. “Here in Cheyenne?”

“Yeah, I got nowhere else to go. I mean yeah I tried sure, bit it wasn’t worth anything. Same old stores and same old crap. Better off here where I know people.” A pause, and then he found his own question. “How are you?”

[orion-meyers-blog]

“I used to miss video games, but not so much anymore. Not originally--Chicago. But it is home now. What about you?”

     “Nice to meet you, Orion. And yeah, exploring seems to be the best the thing to replace electronics with nowadays. Are you from around here, or…?”

“Everbodys favorite hobby huh? I’m Orion. Nice to meet you.”

     “No, no,” Marissa rushed, shaking her head. “I was just exploring. I’m Marissa, by the way.”

Teresa shrugged. “Don’t worry about, stay if you want.”

“Cool cool. So how are you?”

[orion-meyers-blog]

“Dunno. Just kind of suck it up and handle it? It is winter after-all.”

      “ How the hell do you guys deal with so much snow during the holidays ? it all looked so pretty in the movies - bet Buddy Hobbs didn’t need to shovel as much fucking snow as I had to. ”

eleanorchoi:

“Great. Now it can be crowded and cold.”

“Could be worse. I haven’t seen any walkers yet.”

[orion-meyers-blog]

“How are you?”

[orion-meyers-blog]

Orion forced a smile, not sure what the point was though. “Could be better,” he replied. “So don’t worry about it. Can’t make my day any worse. Or week worse.” How long had he even bee out on his own anyhow? Not like he could remember.

As she was walking through the dark woods, she had saw someone walking at a very slow pace. Looked tired, and out of energy. When they called out, “I didn’t mean to startle you. Are you alright?” she was on her way back to the School. Kimberly held onto a can spray she had found, it would be her weapon for now.

Evan Peters as Oliver in House M.D. - 5x09

[orion-meyers-blog]

Orion had done it. He had left his family in the dead of night and hid out till morning. He had found a corner of the world that was just for him, but the thrill was slowly easing out of it. He was exhausted from having to watch his own back, starving from a lack of supplies in the area, and emotionally he hadn’t been prepared at how he would feel being on his own. Clearly he wasn’t prepared, and he was suffering for it. A nervous wreck, Orion didn’t even have the energy to draw his gun when he saw the shadow of someone approaching. He was as good as dead wasn’t it? “Whose there?”
