Phoenyx had long drifted off into sleep, but Gwen was restless. She'd always hated being cooped up, being forced to stay within walls of any kind. The two had a history together, and not a healthy one. When Phoeynx, known as Trinity Williams before the virus, had been 16, and Gwen, then known as Gwen Blakenburg, 14, the two had been attacked while "hanging out" in the park. The only thing was, they hadn't seriously been hurt...but the attaker had. The girls had turned his own knife against him and killed him, right there in the park. The courts had cried criminal insanity and ordered them locked up in the nearest mental institution, and there they had stayed for two long years...until the virus hit.

So, it was no surprise when Phoeny woke up after rolling off her bench/bed that Gwen was gone, though she didn't think she'd be that far away, and she was right. Peering out the window, she could see the girl tusseling with a skinny boy that looked like he might be ill, she supposed he was trying to rob them of any food they might be carrying, "Sorry for his luck, we're just as hungry as he is." Being inside, she couldn't hear the audible crack of his neck snapping, but she almost could, just because it was Gwen out there. A few moments later, Gwen slipped back in, wiping blood from her mouth.

She was relatively unharmed, suffering only a few mild cuts, and a split lip, "Hope I didn't wake you Phoenyx...but I just had to go out for a few minutes...and then that loser jumped me."

"Don't worry about it Gwen, could have been worse. Well, we probably ought to move on. If he's found us, there's bound to be more of them."
