Other survivors

As you enter the store you hear several voices. Following the sound, you see a man and a woman talking as they check the food on the shelves. Stepping into the aisle, you raise your shotgun at the couple and tell them not to move.

The woman speaks up next. "I really don't think you want to do that, sweetie."

"Just walk out of here and I won't hurt either of you."

The woman speaks again, smiling. "You're not gonna hurt us either way."

Suddenly you feel a gun pressed against the side of your face.

"Give me the shotgun," a deep voice tells you. You don't listen and keep your shotgun trained on the couple in front of you. This angers the man beside you with the gun.

"Listen, bitch, you can hand me the shotgun or I can blow your brains all over the aisle."

"Stop, nobody is killing anyone right now," a new voice calls out. "There's been enough **** recently. Vince, put down the gun."

"Her first."

"Vince!"

You feel the gun being removed from your head. A man steps around you and in front of you. You aim the gun at him now.

"Hi, my name is Chris. We don't mean to hurt you. We're just here for supplies, and I'm guessing that's what you're here for too. Are you alone?"

The man that was holding the gun on you speaks up. "Jesus, Chris. You can't seriously be thinking about bringing her with us."

"Vince, calm down." He turns to you. "You have nobody left, right? Me and my wife were the same way. We thought we were the only people left, but we found others and we started a community. We keep moving, and we keep gathering resources. It's not perfect, but we are surviving. This is a portion of our group, there are others. How about you lower the shotgun and tell me your name."

You do as he asks and slowly lower your gun. "My name is Alana."

"Nice to meet you, Alana. As I said, I'm Chris. I believe you are acquainted with Vince there, and the two behind me are Sarah and her brother, Aaron. The others are at our current camp. If you want you can come with us."

"We don't know who she is. She is not coming with us."

"Dammit, Vince, she is not some psychopath, she's just a lonely girl looking for supplies."

"Whatever you say. Don't say I didn't warn you." At that, Vince walks away.

"Don't mind him, he's lost a lot. I can't really blame him for how he feels. Anyway, what do you say, Alana? Want to join us?"
