Avery sighed and looked over at Elise with a frown and then a small smirk. "Massive, I mean, I practically grew up on bad zombie flicks. This thing is going to blow up and we'll be the badass zombie hunters." She said with a wink. Avery, in fact, had no idea what was bound to happen. Some part of her hoped that the government would stopped the contamination and stop the disease in it's tracks. But no, the other part of her knew had unrealistic that would be. Avery had a feeling that the infected would continue to grow in number and she just hoped that they wouldn't be one of those unfortunate ones that had gotten bitten or had drank infected water.

She looked over at Elise, the girl seemed to be in conflict with herself, well, she seemed to look sad. Avery sighed and went over to her. "But look, I'll watch your back if you watch mine. I'm not about to give up without a fight and you seem like the type that's not about to either." She smiled comfortingly at the girl but froze when she heard thumping at the door that followed with strained words about death.

"Fuck," She muttered under her breath and looked over at Elise who seemed to look worried. She heard some more bangs at the door and watched in horror as small indentations started to form in the door. It wouldn't be long until they would be able to get through the door; Avery gave them a half an hour. She grabbed the girls arm and dragged her to the back door and started to unlock it, it would probably be their best chance at escape. Though she stopped unlocking it when she heard groaning on the other side of the door and small shuffling noises as the infected shuffled themselves around. She locked it back up hastily, making sure that they wouldn’t just be able to twist the knob and come inside and sighed, her eyes wide open with fear.

She looked over at Elise with a frown. The doors were surrounded by zombies, they were both screwed. They had nowhere out, the building had no fire escape stairs like some did; they either had to fight their way out or die trying, though she didn’t voice that because the other girl already seemed scared enough. But then, despite herself, Avery’s face lit up with a grin. "The vents, I completely forgot about them. The buildings are all connected with vents; we can crawl through them to the end of the street and then make a run for it." She told Elise as she scrambled over to the ventilation system and tried pulling off the cover. With a small groaning noise the cover fell off and Avery threw it to the floor.

"Ladies first," She said, gesturing to the vent with a wink for Elise to get inside.
