A young female roamed the silent and dirty streets of New York City. She was wearing a dark brown sweater and jeans to keep her warm. Her long light brown hair was up in a high ponytail as her gun rests in her belt around her waist.

It was quiet, very quiet. No movement at all. It's normal though. Everyday is like this

About 3 years ago, a zombie apocalypse came in 2012. The zombies took everything, killed everything except for Cielle, she managed to make it out alive. She thought she was alone, in this cold and lonely world, no one to talk to but herself....or so she thought.

Now, in 2015 the world is silent. Nobody left alive. Cielle thinks she's alone until the end of time with no escape. She had thought about suicide before.. Yes, suicide. That's how lonely it gets when there's no one, nothing to talk to. She has never really done it though. She just keeps waiting, waiting for someone to maybe come her way but she doubts anyone else is alive out there. The zombies have totally taken over.

Some zombies still roam around the world, that's why Ciellw always keeps a gun in her belt just in case a zombie comes out and attacks her. There's not much zombies left in New York City though, she's only been attacked about 5 times over the past 3 years. Now here she was, kicking little pebbles in her way as she walked to an empty grocery store in an empty world. It's all empty.

Cielle does always keep a close eye out, any zombie could attack at any moment. And if you get bit by a zombie you turn into one. Cielle has also thought about just turning into a zombie so she'll have zombie friends to talk to when she's a zombie but... She also doesn't want to get bit. She believes another human might still be out there, stuck in the same situation she is, lonely.

Ace had always been alone in the world, not caring for anyone and anything other then himself which always mattered to him, so when the zombies attacked it wasn't as hard to escape them then it was for everyone else. When the Zomibes first attacked Ace saw how everyone tried to get away with there loves ones with them hiding as long as they could running as much as they can and in all that time Ace saw one thing in common with all those people, they were together.

To Ace all people did was slowly you down making it easier when he was alone for so long, three years has past and he hadn't run into a soul other then the zombie or two a day. New York City is a big place when there was no people on the street, with his machete on his waist and a revolver with on 5 bullets left in his hands he walked the streets looking for any store that wasn't picked clean years ago.

Ace turns a corner pointing his gun after seeing a zombie moving in a store only to put it down after he saw the zombie wasn't a zombie, it was a girl.

Cielle continued kicking small pebbles while slowly walking. It was so hot out. Cielle took off her coat, revealing a plain white tank top underneath. She put the hood part on her head so her coat could hang from her head.

She gave another pebble a big boot. She watched it fly off in front of her and land. Just then, she heard a sound behind her, like someone or something walking a fair distance away from her but she could still hear it though. She sighed, getting a grip of her gun and slowly pulling it out of her belt. Just another zombie... She thought. Be done in no time. She turned around on her heel in one fast move, only to see the thing standing in front of her was not a zombie, but a person. A living thing. Her eyes widened as her vision started to get blurry. She was shocked, she's been waiting for so long for someone to appear and just when she started to lose hope, here, standing in front of her was another human being.

Her hand trembled, still holding the gun and the gun shook slightly. She still had it aimed at the person, but of course she wasn't going to shoot. Cielle couldn't move at all.

"H-Hello?" She called out weakly.

The girl Ace saw looked so lay back as if the world hadn't ended all those years ago other then the gun pointed at him she was just a regular looking girl. The moment she said hello was a feeling of happiness and hatred that came through Ace, happiness to finally her a voice other then his own and hatred that he wasn't alone anymore. Ace holstered is gun and began to walk towards the store calmly and at ease remembering she does have a gun, seeing that brings memories of how people we getting shoot in the street for the littlest reasons.

Ace hops into the store through a broken window and begins to walk around looking for anything he could use or eat, he walks past the girl looking through the shelf's turning his head to the girl "Thought I was the only person in the city?"

Cielle lowered her gun and stared at him. It's been 3 years being alone.. And she thinks the same goes for the man in front of her yet he seems so calm, like it's no big deal. Cielle on the other hand is still shocked.

She watched him look through the shelves, probably looking for food. "Y-you seem to not be surprised...that we've found each other." She stuttered quietly while still staring at him. She inhaled and exhaled. She needed to calm down.

She casually walked over beside him, looking the opposite direction and looking for food on the shelves.

Ace looked as she searched in the selves next to him seeing the dirt on her body that almost matched the piles that was all over his body from running for so long "I'm a little surprised, I really thought I was the last person in the city, it really shows no ones ever alone" he said hating his words.

Ace walks to the selves in the back looking through them to only find dust and spiderwebs "This is freaking bull I haven't eaten anything in 3 days"

Cielle listened to his words closely while looking through the shelves. Nobody really is always alone.

"There's a farmers market down the road from here." She said quietly, unable to find any food herself on the shelves. "The food there is mostly soiled but some of its still okay." She continued to say.

Ace turns his head to hear of the food not to far from here, not eating for 3 days really does take a toll on a persons body. Ace could barley fight at this point let alone pick up his gun "If there's a farmers market right down the road why would you be here in this empty store?" he said walking towards her stopping an inches from her face.

Ace had been fooled hundred of times in to doing things when the world started to end only to get either left for dead or as a sacrifice.

Cielle stared back at him. "I come here everyday. Making sure I didn't miss anything, like maybe there's something useful around here so I just keep looking.." She tried to explain as she took a step away, backing away from him as she took her coat off her head and began to put it back on.

The girl didn't look to have any ill intentions to Ace, it made him feel at ease even though he still didn't drop his guard in front of her. Ace walked to the edge of the store looking down the straight for any signs of zombies, the street seemed all quite nothing looked to be roaming around there. Ace jumps out of the broken store window looking back at the girl seeing her as an reliability and also someone to talk to "If you want you can come, if your right there should be enough food for the both of us...just don't make noise" he said beginning to walk down the street.

Cielle walked towards the broken window. She popped her head out to see if he was walking down to the farmers market which he was. She walked out if the stores door and began walking slowly behind him, keeping her distance from him.

She stared down at the ground while walking, looking up every few seconds to make sure he was still walking in front of her.

Just then she heard something behind a building beside her. She froze, listening closely. It sounded like faint footsteps. She shook her head, thinking its all part of her imagination and continued walking.

Ace stops to hearing the faint noise in the distance, it could have been a number of things from a mouse to a zombie either way his body reacted pulling his gun out pointing it pass the girl. Ace looked around to see nothing moving, he holstered the gun with his eyes still on the girl.

"Alright your hear so you might as well tell me your name?, I'm Ace" he said crossing the street wit the farmers market in Ace.

"I'm Cielle" She said, not really paying attention as she examined the area.

She ran up to him so she would be closer behind him. She looked ahead and saw the farmers market was near then stared back down at the ground. She shoved her hands in her jacket pockets.

Ace walks into the farmers market to see the place was pretty much picked cleaning of anything good, he walks to the back seeing fruit that almost look fresh enough to eat "So Cielle, how is it I've been wonder this place alone for 2 years and never once came across you?"

Ace picked up fruit here and there throwing it in a bag he founded checking for freshness along the way.

"I don't usually come out, I stay in my apartment mostly." She said as she entered the farmers market and stood behind him.

"How's it been for you all these years? Being alone..I mean." She asked while placing her hands on her hips, examining the place. She looked back at the door of the farmers market, staring outside.

Ace didn't know how to exactly answer that, he could have told her the truth, but he didn't even know what the truth was. "Its been...easy" he said taking a bit of an apple "When your the only one you have to look after it becomes easy to survive, especially when the world had become hell".

Ace looked as Cielle looked out into the distance making him wonder what she could be wondering, then while he looks out he sees a zombie running across the way and when there's one there's always more. Ace ducked down dragging Cielle along with him.

Cielle it's saw the zombies as Ace pulled her down with him. She gave a faint yelp from being pulled down quickly then looked back out the window.

There was a few zombies outside, probably the zombies she heard before. She held her breath as she watched them limp around outside and as they came closer she put her hand on the gun in her belt. Ready to grab it and wip it out any time.

Ace dropped his hand on Cielle's hand while it was on her gun "We don't know how many are near they'll hear the gun shot" he said pulling out his machete "Let me take care of it". Ace move closer to the door staying low not wanting them to notice him, he makes it to the door seeing only three insight. Ace ran towards them taking the first one's head off in one swing immediately being notice by the others, he cuts the second one's head without giving it time to react something that the third one did.

The zombie threw Ace against a car door dropping his machete, the zombie ran at him making ace use his foot and arms holding off while he tried to grab his gun.

Cielle tried to see what was going on outside from staying hidden in the market. She could hear flesh being torn apart, which was probably the zombies being killed by Ace. She stood up and walked towards the door quietly but quickly.

She saw dead zombies on the ground with their heads chopped off. She looked in the distance and saw Ace pushed up against a car by another zombie. Cielle quickly pulled out her small gun and ran towards them. She kept her distance from the zombie and aimed for its head. She pulled the trigger and shot it in the head making it collapse. Cielle ran over to pick up Ace's machete from off the ground.

Then, suddenly she was attacked from behind. Another zombie tackled her, making her fall forwards with the zombie on top of her. She screamed and tried to reach for the machete that was in front of her on the ground while the zombie started scratching away at the back of her shirt, scratching her back. There was no way for her to turn around on her back and shoot the zombie with her own gun since the zombies weight was too much for her.

Ace jumps up running towards the zombie scratching at Cielle's back, he grabs his machete from the ground bring it up with enough power to cut the zombies head clean off. "Stay still" Ace said checking Cielle's back to see how far the zombie on her back "Your OK, just some miner cuts here and there, just gotta disinfect them they should be fine".

Ace helped Cielle up just before hearing what sounded like hundred of feet running towards them.
