Staying Awake, Staying Alive

When: Wednesday night
Where: Kitchen and elsewhere
Status: Complete
Warnings: Surely some undead violence and gore.



Rose wasn't a coffee drinker- hated the stuff, in fact. She much preferred tea (most of London did). By night three of avoiding Lucifer's power and staying awake, however, she had consumed all of the available earl grey. Her battle against The Devil now continued with the choking down of bitter blackness.

Her bloodshot eyes stared at the coffee machine. She wished the putrid stuff would brew faster. Her head was already bobbing wearily. At this rate, she'd pass out before the drink was even done!

Rose sighed, feeling an exhausted shakiness in her chest. She'd searched the whole building for Lucifer. No luck. Until she could confront him in-person, the girl refused to close her eyes for more than two seconds. Sam might have suspected something, but they hadn't talked about it.

The sound of her fingers nervously strumming on the counter prevented her from hearing someone else's approach...

Sherlock weighed the pipe in his hands, slapping it lightly against his palm and getting a good feel for the weapon that could potentially save his life. Not very much trust went into that, exactly. But... He sighed and gripped onto that little piece of piping, ready to do whatever he could and he stepped out of the room, head held high, prepared to smack the living hell out of those undead things and then ---

Oh.

The large Winchester was here. Well. As opportune as this moment seemed to be... "You." He said with a narrow of his brows and a tight lipped frown. "Sam, we need to talk, once this is-" He glared off to the side, catching a glance of an approaching zombie and how dare one of these undead monsters try to interrupt his discussion. He scowled and held more forcefully onto the pipe, looking back up to Sam. "You're not going to beat up John, all right? End of problem."

At that being said, he charged at the approaching monster, smashing the PVC through its skull and holding his mouth shut tight as he watched the zombie crumple beneath the weapon and onto the ground in such a great, bloody pile. Well.

"Sam-" Rose started, before being predictably interrupted by Sherlock. She sighed heavily. Was the detective seriously bringing up John when they were about to get their brains gnawed out?

If ANYONE needed to talk to Sam, it was Rose. She hadn't seen the younger Winchester in days, and Lucifer had been in her head, and it was his fault, and he didn't even know because-

Then, a pause, as she looked him over.

...It clicked in her head, and Rose felt all sorts of stupid. Sam had been here. Trapped. His disheveled, scraped-up appearance explained it all. Smiling, she let her anger dissipate. The girl tuned out Sherlock's rambling to toss her arms about Sam's waist.

"Hi," Rose said, finding nothing else.

The sound of a zombie hitting the floor broke her out of the moment. She looked to see the detective was okay, followed by Eric. Lastly, forgetting how bloodshot her eyes were, she returned her focus to Sam. "Let's go," she said, as if he wouldn't notice.

Momentarily distracted by Sherlock, Sam looked up and was about to reply when the other man smashed the ever living shit out of another zombie.

"Hi" He answered Rose, instinctively wrapping his arms around her.

There was a far distant (thought not too far) roar, and having been there for a while he knew what it meant. There were a fuck ton of zombies on the way. A hoard, if you will. And they were in the worst possible position to defend themselves.

"This way." He instructed, nodding back to the direction from whence he had come. There were Black arrows painted on the walls in that direction anyway, left by previous survivors.

There was a safe house.

Sam had seen it, ducked in for more supplies, and come back out to look for anyone else alive. He knew if he was going to make it out alive, traveling with at least one other person increased the odds. And it was all he could to to keep going. That was his job, right? Kill bad things. Save people. The family business, if you will.

He pulled Rose along side him, turning to lead the way.

The hoard was getting closer, lead by a Tank from the sounds of it. He could also hear the distinctive sound of a hunter, snarling as it lept alongside it's less-mutated companions. They were out for blood, and now in a group of four, they were likely to get at least one of them.

"There's a room up ahead." He explained as they moved. "We'll be safe there."

And as they turned the corner, there it was, illuminated by a slap dash orange paint job around the door frame.

"C'mon, everybody in."

The Hoard was right behind them, nipping at their heels, twenty, no, thirty undead rushing down the hallway. The Tank crashing against the walls, roaring at the top of it's lungs.

The door closed, the bolt slid securely shut.

They were safe. For now.
