The larger group eyed the growing opening as the door continued to rise to give access and as it opened, it slowly revealed the shape and form of the only female in the group, Jess. The heavy vault door heaved itself upward with a mechanical groan, trying to allow Sky and Jess to join the other Avatars inside the makeshift bunker. Was it the feeling of possible attacks by Walkers? Bandits? Or something else? Whatever it was, the room reeked with ill intentions and Barney saw no point in remaining any longer than necessary. The dreadful feeling grew heavier and making it clear to him that something was very wrong but he wasn't sure what his senses were pointing out. “Then maybes we should go back,” Barney advised, suddenly concerned from being away from Sky for this long. The dinosaur's mouth went dry and fought to keep from revealing his unease. Yet, the foreboding feeling remained and sat like a rock in his gut. That had to be the reason he was feeling a little paranoid. It was the middle of the night, Walkers were everywhere and he was away from his best friend. Mentally, he shook himself off, telling himself that it was just nerves. Now that it came from behind him, it just felt off as the dino's sense of unease grew. How could he? The way the Avatar sounded emotionless was just creepy. Then again, he never sounded concerned for anything to begin with.īarney managed to hide a shiver at the tone, never really having gotten used to it. He didn't sound concerned, remaining in the shadows as he gazed dully at the other Avatar as he turned to look his way. “End of the line it would seem.” the doctor said, his tone dead and dry as it ever was. “I don't thinking we can get through this way.” Barney called over his shoulder to Ross, who was watching his back, a sense of dread forming in the pit of his stomach. So going through was a no go, not if they wanted to risk a partial collapse and be trapped on the other side. He glanced around the barricade, noting the bright green vines clinging to the walls and saw that they tried to hide the cracks forming on the structure. The purple Avatar frowned a little at the blockage, partly wondering if they should remove enough of it to squeeze through. Though from the looks of things, it didn't look like they would need to be in the dimly lit room any longer. One never knew what dangers lurked in shadows, so it paid to pay extra attention to their surroundings. He mentally cursed the lack of lighting as he kept his crossbow in hand. It didn't help that it was in the middle of the night as well, whatever lights that even bothered to work didn't do much in pushing the darkness back. ~Meanwhile on the other side of the White Houseīarney moved carefully in the room he and Ross were currently in, narrowing his working eye against the thick shadows that choked the space. So he knew how she felt and had no ill feelings about it.īoth Avatars could hear the happy tone behind Nick's voice as he moved closer to the heavy metal door, “You guys hang on, I'll get the door open!” He was glad to see a friendly face with Jess showing up to help save him but he had been happier in seeing the purple dino Avatar again. Hell he felt the same way before, lighting up with joy and relief when he was finally reunited with his best friend after two weeks of being on the run from a horde. “Oh, thank god.” Sky sighed, throwing Jess a grin seeing her smile and understanding perfectly what she thought. “Sky, I think I found Nick!” she cried happily, excited and relieved to be with her friends once more not that she didn't think of Sky or Barney being her friends, it was just that she knew her group longer.

Jess perked up in recognition of the voice, a smile of relief spreading across her face as she looked back at her comrade. In this world, one never can be too careful of random people showing up as they learned the hard way. Which neither Jess or Sky would blame him for being so. “Jess? Is that you?” a muffled male voice answered the female Avatar's calling, tone hopeful but of course wary.
