Earth

Cathy nodded her head in thanks. Then she sat down, dizzy from blood loss. She watched the girl clean and bandage her ear. Feeling embaresed about their first conversation she spoke up. My name is Catherine but uh....you can call me Cathy. Oh and thanks. She said. Then she pointed towards the cat. Where did you get that?

Eiko smiled. "She was abandoned by her owner, so I adopted her, right Nana!"
Nana meowed, running up. She sat in front of Cathy and cocked her head to the side a bit before jumping on Cathys shoulders and nudging her cheek.
"I think she likes you" Eiko said as she finished patching up the wound. Then she stood up and took off her jacket throwing it on the ground. Then she took her hair out of its previous ponytail, letting her unnaturally long locks fall down past her back.
"I think we'll be safe here for the time being".

Dylan made it down the fire escape and headed in the direction where the assault rifle was kicked off the roof from, only when it wasn't there when he reached the spot. "You got to be kidding me." He groaned to himself as realization came to him that the blonde woman must of made off with it. Looking ahead he saw a small trail of blood drops on the ground, the woman was injured so he could follow her trail. The trail lead to an abandoned subway station where three zombie corpses were sprawled on the ground with bullet holes in their heads. Noticing a black cylinder like object poking out from underneath one of the corpses, Dylan maneuvered the corpse to the side. "Bingo." Dylan smiled as he picked up his M4, the woman must of left it behind in her escape. Noting that the woman was now bleeding, it wasn't worth it pursue her anymore. He turned back and headed back to the building that he had been on before the woman came up and attacked him.

Cathy pulled the knife out of her pocket. She looked at the young girl in front of her and then at the knife. Slowly she got up. I might be safe. But you aren't. She said grinning. The girl looked at her confused. Thats when Cathy tackled her. She landed on top of the girl who was now half submerged in the river. As she put her knife to the girl's throat the girl's eyes went from grey to green. Interesting she thought. Nana or whatever this girl called the cat scratched at Cathy's hand. She flicked the kitten off her hand and whispered into the girl's ear. Come with me and do whatever I say. If not I'll kill your cat. If you don't care i'll kill you.

Eiko gasped as Cathy tackled her, landing in the water, soaking her hair and shirt. She growled as Cathy put a knife to her throat. She knew her eyes had gone green, as they did that when she was angry. She listened to Cathy's order. The tone of voice she used and the smirk she had. It reminded Eiko far too much of him.

Black swirls appeared in her eyes.

"Do whatever you say?" She repeated, the corners of her mouth twitching up into a wide smile. "Whatever you say? Hahaha, I save your life, and you want me to follow you." Her eyes went wide and her smile got huge, ear to ear. "Ahhahaha! Y-you really are a sneaky one! Hahahaha!" She kept laughing, not a normal one, but an insane one, full of bloodlust and amusement at what she had said. "Your smart, I'll give you that much." What Cathy didn't see was that Eiko had swiped her hand up and grabbed a fistful of her blond hair. Pulling her off, she threw her to the ground, standing above her, she stepped on her hands and kicked her knife to the side. While Cathy struggled underneath, Eiko grabbed Cathys neck and laughed as she gasped and sputtered.

"But you should know I'm not somone to be messed with"

Gasping for breath she muttered Neither--am-I. Using her legs she kicked Eicko in the back making the girl stumble. Now being able to use her hands she pushed herself up, but before she could stand up the girl was on her again. But now Cathy could fight back. Using both hands she grabbed the girl's long pink hair and yanked it down pulling the girl off Cathy. Stumbling to her feet she grabbed her knife but before she could use it the girl attacked her. Laughing her insane laugh the girl twisted the knife out of Cathy's hand. Seeing the girl with a knife in her hands scared Cathy more then seeing a sane person pointing a gun at her. This girl is insane. Punching the girl in the nose, breaking it, she bolted from underneath the bridge towards the train station.

"GAH!!" Eiko screamed as Cathy struck her in the nose. She heard the sound of footsteps as Cathy ran off.
"Damn" Eiko snapped her fingers for Nana, and the black kitten jumped on her back, then Eiko ran after Cathy towards the train station.

Eiko didn't know why she wanted to catch Cathy. She had no intention of killing her, or even hurting her. But for some reason kept running after her. Something about the was Cathy had attacked her, that determination to get what she wanted to survive. It reminded her of her sister.

And also, the way Cathy had looked at her like she was crazy...

"I'm not insane..." Eiko whispered to herself. "I'm not insane."

Cathy heard the girl running behind her. She tried to speed up but she was hungry, cold, wet, and tired. When she entered the train station she saw the bodies had been moved and the gun was missing. Cursing she ran out of the train station towards the building where she attacked the man. Quickly she climbed the fire escape. She reached the top and saw the man pointing a gun at her. I need to hide, please sir I"ll explain later. she said eyeing the gun warily, aware that the girl was getting closer to the building.

Eiko continued to chase her though the train station, down the street and to the building where she had fought those five zombies. Her nose scrunched up in annoyance at the sight, and she stomped on the head of one of them, causing brains and blood to spray all around the ground. She smiled, chuckling darkly, when she saw her reflection in the blood.

Her eyes were a dark blood red, not the usual candy apple red, surrounded by flames of black. The black was slowly fading away as her sanity started to break though the insane shield.

Eiko gasped, and stepped away from the corpse, leaned up against a wall and sunk to her knees. She was trembling, slightly with anger, at herself or that girl, she didn't know.

"I did it again...didn't I?" She sniffed, burying her head in her knees. "I'm not insane....I'm not insane...Right?"

She sniffed, tears coming down her face as she cried into her knees.

(This is a flashback)

"Don't cry sis!"

Eiko peaked her head up to see she was in her old middle school, age 14, in the principals office waiting for the principal to get there. She had gotten in trouble for attacking a student and nearly choking them. She didn't know why she did it, but she did. she was sitting in an old bench in the office with her sister. The eleven year old red head in question was sitting next to her, holding her in a strong hug as Eiko had cried into her sisters shoulders in fear of getting in trouble.

"Why!? I'm going to get in trouble and probably arrested!!" She sniffed, pressing her hands tighter into her lap. "I guess it's for the best, that's where insane people like me go" Her sister frown, then punched Eiko hard on the shoulder. For an 11 year old, she was strong.

"Your not insane!!!" She had shouted, making Eiko flinch under her gaze. "I mean, sure, you have your moments, but your not insane! Your pretty and nice and I don't know what I'd do without you! I love you big sis!"

(End flashback)

Eiko cried harder into her knees at the thought of that memory from two years before. She missed her sister so much.

"I'm not insane. I don't even believe myself anymore..."

The sounds of someone climbing the fire escape caught Dylan's attention as he turned and pointed his pistol towards the direction of the ladder only to find the blonde female looter from before climbing up it. He was confused as she ran up to him asking for help and in all honesty Dylan found her quite puzzling. Either she's delirious, has a death wish, or is that damn stupid to try the same thing twice against me. He thought to himself as he lowered the pistol and motioned her to come forward, "Try anything and I'll give you to whoever is chasing you."

jason lay on the roof of a building, he had no idea where. he looked out over the empty streets and to the river not too far away. some movement on the riverbank caught his eye. he quickly grabbed his binoculars and looked at the riverbank. there were 2 girls fighting. they were healthy and un-diseased. survivors. suddenly one punched the other in the nose and ran off. the slightly smaller girl who was hit looked dazed, then chased after the girl who hit her. "don't kill each other..." jason pleaded. "theres a much greater enemy than each other..." he mumbled. he watched the 2 girls chase each other through the streets, disappearing behind buildings then reappearing. they went into a train station then came back out. as they got closer he could see one of the girls held a knife in her hand. the first girl ran up a fire escape on the building right next to the one he was on. he took off the binoculars and hid behind the small lip on the edge of the building. he heard the girl say "I need to hide, please sir I"ll explain later". jason popped his head out over the lip of the roof and saw a man pointing a gun at the girl. he hid his head behind the lip, careful to stay quiet. "Try anything and I'll give you to whoever is chasing you" he heard the man say. jason had to make a quick choice. he suddenly stood up and yelled "Hey!"
