Snippet #2508464

Although she had only been walking for about an hour, CJ was already getting tired. It was already getting dark too. Up until now, she had been very lucky in avoiding the Kaga. But this only meant that there was a good chance of one lurking round the corner. She tried to keep a look out for them but it was getting hard to see and CJ decided she had better head for shelter soon as she did not have a torch of any sort.

As she searched for shelter, she heard voices in the distance. 'Other humans?' Not sure whether to be cautious or not, CJ had to squint to confirm a couple of figures walking quite a way away. 'They could be friendly...' She considered the possibility but decided to keep her distance. Conveniently, at that point she spotted an old building. Quickly she approached it, as the noises of the night were getting louder and more frequent. She squeezed through the door, which was partly blocked by the ruins of the ceiling. It didn't feel particularly safe but it was the best she had for now, so she settled down by the window, using her satchel as a pillow and clutching her sword to her chest. She needed sleep but was too scared to shut her eyes. Instead, she stared at what was left at the ceiling and tried to block out the distant cries and other unnerving sounds.
