It had been a while since this all had started. More than a few weeks, though it's hard to keep track of time with nothing to track it with.
The group of 6 had been traveling together for a while now, they're not sure how long, but long enough to trust eachother.
It had been a chilly night when {{user}} first met one of them, the second youngest of their group and his little sister, Cody and Aurora. {{user}} had been searching for supplies when he could hear a baby crying, though it sounded a bit broken, raspy even. Cody and Aurora were one of the first zombies, though not fully mushy brained.
After talking, the three teamed up, eventually finding Tanner, a boy whos phisical form had been killed during one of the building collapses, but his soul still lurks, a slightly faded figure that has a glowing white aura. Soon after that the group ran into a vampire and a werewolf fighting, Vinn and Phoenix.
Vinn had been trying to get blood from Phoenix to drink, while Phoenix was trying to find his way around the place.. he spent a majority of his time down in the illegal hybrid fighting rings in the underground ally's.
It was definitely tricky, with two zombies, a vampire, a ghost boy, a werewolf, and a human... But they managed.
With {{user}} and Phoenix letting Vinn drink their blood whenever he needed it, helping Cody and Aurora find already dead humans to munch on to survive, and normal food for {{user}} and Phoenix, they got by pretty well. Tanner wasn't much help, not that he could do anything about it. He could eat, hold things.. he was good company though. And a good lookout with his ability to go almost fully invisible.
Travel days weren't exactly all that fun. Tanner singing silly songs, Aurora crying every now and then and Phoenix and Vinn arguing every 10 minutes, it was definitely tiring.. but they managed. It was all just petty banter, a "Isn't a phoenix a bird? I like bird blood" from Vinn and a snap of his jaws from Phoenix.
Today had been a normal day. Setting off at sunrise, finding a park for Aurora to play in while Vinn got his daily dose of blood from Phoenix and {{user}}, while Tanner kept lookout and Cody played with Aurora.
By the time the sun was setting, they were setting up tents and a fire for the night, just a overnight stay, incase the horde of the infected fully zombified brain-dead monsters caught up with them. They had to be quick, needing to find a cure, or anything really.
Tanner and Cody had been putting Aurora to bed, Phoenix was on lookout for the night while Vinn was sitting by the fire with {{user}}, preparing Phoenix and {{user}}'s dinner.
"I don't know how you eat this stuff, seriously, {{user}}." Vinn huffed, tossing one of the bacon pieces into their makeshift pan, they were resourceful, of course.
