ATA-How it Happened
It was 2017. The Moon suddenly left it's orbit, and the Earth was a dark cold place. Millions caught disease from the cold and darkness, many became crazy and committed suicide, and many were killed by other things. Shadows. Shadows were wiped out when the Moon first appeared, after a meteor struck Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon kept them away. Though, as the moon suddenly disappeared from the orbit, the shadows once again appeared, and killed off most of the disease survivors. Now, only about 8,000 people live in the world, and there is a popular group of rebel survivors in New York City. These survivors are the closest in the world to the Shadow Fortress, and are the only ones that can save the human race from becoming completely extinct.

Can You Hear the Music?
Holding her small hand on her pistol's handle, Melody cautiously turned onto a street. It looked vacant, almost completely empty, except for abandoned cars here and there, overturned, charred, and broken. Still, the blonde-haired girl didn't let her guard down. She had her eyes wide open and her ears listening intently.

Casper walked down the road, as if nothing were to happen, complete opposite of the girl. He soon came to a corner by a store, and saw the girl there.

Lily walked with purpose, her bow strung with an arrow, feathers included. Her bruise colored eyes were peeled, as she watched, a girl walked silently down the street. She hide behind a tree. Her blacker-than-night hair contrasted the lush greenery around her. Legs ready to pounce, she crouched.

Down the street walked Sorren, walking in the opposite directing of melody. He had his spear in his hand, and his black hair was messy. Sorren had just come back from a hard day of destroying shadows, and was heading back to the Walmart, whistling.
Re: Can You Hear the Music?
The girl saw Sorren before he saw her. Instantly, her weapon was cocked and aimed, her steps cautious.
"State your name!" she demanded, eyeing him warily.

Sorren put his hands up, spear still in one hand. "Sorren Davis." he said calmly, looking her straight in the eyes. "Now put that down, before someone gets hurt."
He took a few steps forward.

"Not until you put away that," Melody said, stubborn as ever, pointing to the boy's spear with her Sig. Unconsciously, she also took a few steps backwards.

Those steps back lead directly to Lily who ceased her chance, and ran to the girl, kicking the gun out of her hand, and Sorren's way, then pulling up her bow, strung. "He said to put it away." She hissed, standing inbetween Melody and Sorren.

A cry tore the air.
"If it's broken, I swear to God, I will kill you!" Melody growled at the girl. "That's my good one!"

"Oh boo hoo. We have plenty of spares back at camp. That is if we let you in." She hissed back, her violet eyes violently looking this girl up and down. "Let me guess. You came to win the Miss Honey and Sugar competition. Sorry darlin, but I don't think they'd be lettin in girls who bring guns in." She laughed, her country accent taking over.

Melody's eyes flashed dangerously. In her (uncontrollable) timid voice, she snapped, "You don't know who you're messing with."

Lily's blacker-than-night hair untucked itself causing a silky black curtain to fall over the sides of her face. Her razor slashed bangs fell into her spiky dark eye-lashes. "Really? Darlin, I've been through hell and back, and that was before this damned Apocalypse happened. Way before that happened. I'm sure that I know exactly what I'm messin with." She said the sugar sweetness seeping out of her voice, leaving a cold glass shattering voice.

This pissed off Melody more than anything in the world had.
"Dear, I sincerely hope your fighting is more vicious than your words," she smirked, shifting her weight to one hip.

Sorren put his spear up, eyes flaring. "Guys, stop fighting. We are all humans, so there is no need to hold weapons on each other."
He picked up Melody's gun and threw it over to her. "We've got company."
He pointed westward, where three nightcrawlers were running towards them, claws in front of their faces.

Lily smiled sarcastically. "Oh great. Maybe they smelled your shampoo." She said, looking a Melody, then firing an arrow into the head off a shadow. It disappeared into a plume of smoke. She ran after the rest, pulling a ninja star out of her pocket, and cutting at ones neck.

Sorren spun his spear, stabbing one nightcrawler, and lunged it into another, claws digging into the other's body. Both nightcrawlers blew into smoke.

OoC: She didn't even get a chance ;~;
Angrily, Melody stood with her arms folded. Her pale blonde hair hung around her smudged face.
"Just so you know, I haven't showered in a week," she informed Lily. "Plus, I prefer to not give myself away by using fragrant shampoo."

"Ugh." Sorren mumbled. "Lily, let's go back to the Walmart. We can bring the new girl."
Re: Can You Hear the Music?
"I have a name!" she spoke up, obviously eavesdropping.

"Then tell me it, blondie." he murmured, connecting the spear to it's hilt across his back.
Re: Can You Hear the Music?
Her cheeks burned. She hadn't been called Blondie since before the apocalypse.
"Melody," she told him. "My name is Melody."
"Melody," she told him. "My name is Melody."

Sorren grinned. "Nice name." he said. He pointed to Lily. "This is Lily. As you know, I'm Sorren. We are part of a rebel gang against shadows."
Re: Can You Hear the Music?
The look on Melody's face was pure gold.
"I've been looking for one of those forever!" she exclaimed, looking ready to cry. "This is just. . AMAZING!"

"Yeah, yeah." Sorren said, waving his hand. "Follow us if you want to see our camp."
Re: Can You Hear the Music?
"The Walmart's beginning to get crowded. " A lonely voice sounded from the darkness. Spiraling, Shadowfire, bored, he glided next to Aaron and then over to Melody. Face to face, he peered his now light blue eyes into her eyes.
(His eyes used to be black-red, but as he changed sides, they're gradually getting lighter :D)
