Ame got off the train and brushed back her long purple hair. Her eyes, the same shade as her hair, scanned the area outside of the train nervously. She'd been away for so long, and had hoped that her homecoming would have been more peaceful. Unfortunately that was not the case, as the world had just recently been infested by zombies.
She cringed as she checked her supplies. She had a few knifes placed in strategic places against her body. One was on her ankle, another on her wrist, and yet another on her upper arm. She had an axe hanging against her side, a gun in a holster at her hip and a bow with a quiver hanging off her back.
It was a rather heavy get up, but she'd rather be prepared. She sighed, unsure if she was ready to fight the zombies, but knew that she had to.

It was a three hour train ride from the cityside, slumped down on the train with her briefcase of non-important items: namely a blue toothbrush, a pair of apparel just in case- she needed to change, a half-empty bottle of store-bought vodka, a digital camera, and her chubby wallet protruding out from her dark denim jeans.
If it had not been him who had called her that unfortunate 3 in the morning, Artemis Danver wouldn't have bothered to buy herself a C-Class ticket and heave her idle behind onto the Station that noon.
It was 3 in the afternoon, and the skies above were overcast and painted a slight turquoise. She was dizzied by the speed of the train, trees passing by but did not bother catching up with her.
There were five of them on this train ride: a man slumped to a corner with a sack of clothes; his calloused hands scratching his unshaven chin. Opposite her red leather seat was a middle-aged woman with her pink frilled child at hand, the toddler obviously not happy with the trip. The last guy aboard was about Artemis's age, mocha-skinned, and sporting military wear. He had a sniper rifle in his hand, which told everyone clearly not to mess with him.
She couldn't help but keep to herself. The crowd, after all, was unpleasant.
Who'd want to talk with a bum? Or a poor mother with a spoiled child? Or Why Not World's next G.I. Joe?
Artemis wouldn't even chance it. The clear view of the countryside passed by in the form of hillside views and lush terrain. She had lifted her drunk head from her hands and groggily gathered her belongings... the ride was over.
The automated doors whooshed open with the futuristic effect of smoke entering the train in collected puffs. The woman and the child, obviously unsatisfied with their joyride, hobbled away from the transportation. The bum followed next, and didn't bother with the hole on the back of his tattered sweats. The last man however, instead of leaving the train to attend to his own business, walked over to Artemis's side and coolly handed her a pistol.
Incredulously, Artemis looked up and slurred, "You wan' me to kill yuh?"
The man remained unfazed, and dropped the weapon onto her lap.
"There are zombies around, ma'am. Best we keep ourselves safe on this voyage."
Zombies? The man's clearly a nutter. Not just a nutter; a mental one, as a matter of fact.
"Either you've been smoking crap, or I've just heard the wrong thing... zombies? C'mon, you know there's no such thing!" Flailing her hands wildly in the air, she pocketed the pistol and stumbled out the doors.
The man, again, paid no attention to her snide-comments. After all, she was drunk.
"Keep yourself safe, ma'am. Never wander by the graveyard."
The thought hung dry by a deaf Artemis's ears. She was getting dizzy, and soon enough, a wave of nausea would make a detour through her mouth.
She stumbled by a map of the town and pointed her finger around haphazardly at the hand-drawn illustration. She needed a room, and the Inn was the perfect place to get one.
Lazily tiptoeing - though she didn't know why - she took her time getting to the Inn.
