-Present time-

"Nnn..." a noise was heard somewhere near the outskirts of the laboratory where everything started and ended. Nearby there was some ruffling of leaves on a floor, then it stopped. The leaves moved once more until it revealed what appears to be a small tunnel. A small pale arm reached out and grasped what ever it could to pull out whatever was still attached to it. The small form was a mess, leaves in loose black hair that seemed to have blue and brown in it, clothing torn and what looked like dry blood. Embara slowly raised from the ground. This wasn't her most recent safe place she had found the day before, but it was deemed unsafe and she had to move.

She was going to need some new clothes that was for sure, but first she'll have to find a place to get clothes. Sighing, Embara trudged onward towards to city where the Laboratory was. On her way there she noticed there was shopping center, and a shopping center meant clothes. Smiling softly she changed direction. The closer she got she could see everything was ruined, though one store seemed to be okay for lack of a better description. It had a fallen sign with a letter missing. It read out JC PENN.. she assumed the Y was gone, but gone where she didn't know.

Embara briskly limped her way inside, and she was met with a surprising few. The inside of the store didn't look like crap like the outside did. Albeit clothes racks and shelves were strewn about the floor, but that was alright. She was standing in awe, when a twinge of pain hit her right side, and she collapsed to her hands and knees. She tried closing her eyes to relax herself and focus on something, but that was thwarted due to a heavy cough. It caused her to start to remember the events of yesterday.

-Morning the day before-

Embara was taking her usual route to survey the area to if she could find a new place to stay. The current 'safe house' she is at is beginning to not be so safe anymore but it's better than being out in the open where nature can steal your life. She glanced to either side of her, she couldn't see or hear anything so she continued on her path. It was all but a true jungle out here, traces of the civilization which was just here, still remained. But the buildings were either covered in plants or nothing but a pile of rocks with maybe metal pipes sticking out here and there. She stopped at a tree and placed her hand on it and looked beyond. She could see in the distance the building that once surrounded the laboratory. She couldn't quite see the building herself from where she was but that was okay. She knew it was still there.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow she would make the journey there. Perhaps there she would find answers or the others who are like her. Lowering her hand to her side she turned back the way she came, she remembered she saw what looked like somewhere comfortable she could stay. What she had seen earlier was a building that had collapsed that formed something similar to a cave. And it appeared to be deep enough where she could hide and they would see if anything happen to wonder by.

-Late Afternoon the day before-

Embara ran her hand across her hair covered forehead to remove sweat as she sighed. She finally moved the last of her things from her other hideout, which included but not limited to two outfits, some food, and the cleanest water she could find. Which was saying something, water wasn't quite clean as it used to be and that's saying something. She put her hands behind her head to lift up her hair, it was awfully hot around here all of sudden. She gingerly walked outside careful to duck her head on the way out. Once she was outside she peered up at the sky to it was cloudy and a bit dark. Seems like I should be expecting some rain, with how hot is... it is graciously welcomed she thought to herself.

She went back into her building made cave, all the way to back where she hit a proud uncollapsed wall which served as the back of her cave. She needed to run a check on her supplies, she assumed she would be running by now especially on water. Embara rummaged through her well used bags she managed to find a week or two before. She noted she'd need new ones and soon. But that wasn't the only thing she needed, she was going to need to go hunting as she had about a days worth of food left not including today's. And her water supply? Roughly about two glasses and a half left.
