Se réveiller tard a eu ses effets. Vous pourriez ne pas être servi le petit déjeuner, ou vous pourriez être donné plus de travail. Ou, le garçon qui était ton meilleur ami et qui était parti il y a plus d'un demi-année est revenu.

Olivia s'est réveillée tard, sans s'attendre à avoir tant dormi. La lumière coulait de la fenêtre sale, et elle était assise sur le bord de son lit. Elle a regardé ses pieds, pas vraiment penser mais ne pas vouloir se lever. Après avoir passé trop de temps là-bas, elle s'est levée et s'est dirigée vers la douche. Il faisait froid, comme toujours. Mais il y avait beaucoup plus d'avantages à avoir une douche froide plutôt qu'une douche chaude. Même si tu n'avais pas eu de douche chaude depuis des années, elle regardait le mur de douche, son esprit errant dans des pensées différentes. Les pensées de son ancienne vie. Pensées de Damian. Elle s'est vite secoué la tête. Elle n'avait pas laissé son esprit s'y laisser dériver pendant une demi-année, et elle ne voulait pas que ça commence maintenant.
Oliva a rapidement trouvé des vêtements et habillés de ce dont elle avait besoin pour la journée; jeans et un tanktop noir avec sa veste en cuir dessus. Elle a tiré ses cheveux dans une queue de cheval et l'a attachée avec un morceau de tissu. En regardant dans le miroir, elle a vu à quel point elle était usée et fatiguée. Liv a ramassé le collier qu'elle portait et l'a mis, en le mettant sous sa chemise. Elle a pris la photo d'elle, de son frère, et de son père qu'elle gardait dans le côté du miroir et lui a donné un baiser avant de sortir. Elle n'a pas pris le petit déjeuner, elle n'a pas eu l'estomac pour ça aujourd'hui.
Liv s'est dirigé vers l'aile médicale, qui n'était pas trop loin. Elle a été surprise de constater que Katie et sa mère n'étaient pas là. Peut-être étaient-ils en retard aussi, et ça allait être un jour de retard?
Elle a commencé à se laver les mains, même si elle venait de prendre une douche. Elle devait être prête à travailler.
« Où sont-ils... », murmura-t-elle sous son souffle, ne s'attendant pas à une réponse. Pourtant, elle en a reçu une par une infirmière.
"N'as-tu pas entendu, ma fille? Damian Novak est de retour."
Le cœur de Liv a sauté un battement, et ses yeux dilatés. Un regard confus apparut sur son visage. "Damian..." elle s'est enfuie.
-- Oui, Damian est de retour, dit la femme, manifestement ennuyée d'avoir à se répéter.
"Où sont Kaitlyn et Amelia?" Elle a vite suivi.
"Ils ont essayé de le voir au bloc cellulaire, mais je doute..."
Avant que la femme ne puisse finir, Liv sortait de là et se précipitait vers le bloc cellulaire. Damian... aucun mot de lui, et tout d'un coup il était de retour? Son père était de retour aussi, alors?
Elle s'est retrouvée en courant, incroyant que c'était le jour où Damian avait décidé de revenir. Elle a vite vu les deux Novaks, ne pouvant entrer.
«Kaitlyn», a-t-elle dit, ne sait pas très bien comment continuer. Elle savait juste deux choses : elle devait être là pour sa meilleure amie, et elle devait dire à Damian Novak.

Role in Community
Was training to be a guard but since Damian and his father left, she's been helping out his mother (Amelia) and his sister (Kaitlyn) with medical.
Appearance
Most think that Liv is younger than she appears, with her innocent hazel eyes and her kind face. But she's seen a lot; including her dad and little brother be eaten in front of her. She mainly wears leather things, for fear of being snuck up on by a zombie. When she's comfortable though, she'll wear things that most girls wore before the apocalypse; shorts and tank tops. She sums up to be 5'4", with olive skin, and her chestnut brown hair reaches all the way down her back; she usually has her hair in a long ponytail. She is well built, having trained with Damian.
Biography
Oliva Samsuel was raised in Los Angles by her mother, Grace, and her father, David, with her little brother, Lukas. The two siblings grew up together, and Liv found herself very protective of her little brother.
Liz's father was an author, and her mother was a professor of medicine. That is, until, she was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer when Liz was eight and her brother four. Grace died within a month and a half, breaking the rest of the family into pieces. It was the age of twelve that Olivia was grateful that her mother wasn't alive; the outbreak.
The three Samsuels were in Redding, on vacation. They quickly scavenged their packed belongings and scattered from the rest of civilization, which wasn't very difficult. A quarter of a year was spent trying to survive, just the three of them. Within those ninety-one days, both Liv's father and brother died. Her father went first within a little over a month and a half, sacrificing himself to save his children. She covered Lukas' eyes as she watched and heard her dad be eaten alive. Then only twenty-two days after they watched their father die, Lukas was bitten and taken away by sickness. She watched as he grew pale and the light faded from his eyes.
For the remaining twenty-three days, she survived on her own and tried to grasp on of what was left of her humanity and childhood. It was then that a miracle occurred; a patrol from Sierra-Armstrong came by and she was taken back. There she was exuberant to find others.
Being by herself was difficult, and she was lost. Liv had no idea who to turn to because all those she would turn to were dead. Cue the Novak family to enter. She first met them when she met Kaitlyn, and then was happy to find someone a little closer to her age; Damian. She found a new family in the Novak's, and soon became great friends with Damian and grew up alongside him. She trained with him to become a guard, still unclear as to what her future held. She followed her best friend along until the day they were first ready, he and his father up and left with no explanation to her. Without guidance from her best friend, Liv turned to his mother, Amelia, and his sister, Kaitlyn, to help them out with medical. There she has remained being trained in the medical field, waiting for her best friend to come back
Personality
Liv isn't afraid to speak her mind but knows when to have manners. She's outgoing and kind and tries to speak up for what's right. Her emotions often overcome her, controlling her actions. Once she's on a roll, it's hard for her to stop. She's very passionate about her friends, and about protecting the innocent. Liv is clever, and tries to be strong and show a brave side but can't always do so. She's easy to get along with, but once you get to know her can be stubborn on certain topics. She isn't quiet, but she isn't totally chatty either.
Living Arrangements
Lives in a small house within the garrison near the Novaks, alone by herself.

Damian Novak

Oliva met Damian through his sister, Kaitlyn. Unlike Kate and Liv, it took awhile for the two of them to actually become friends. It was finally she that broke the ice, asking what had happened to him before they had arrived in Sierra that had caused him to be so closed-off. She ended up confiding in him of what had happened to her while she was out there for her ninety-one days. They ended up sticking by each other's side.
Even though Liv and Kate were best friends, Liv and Damian exceeded that. They didn't need to exchange many words to know what the other really meant, and she watched him train to become a guard for a year before she finally did too (waiting to turn fourteen). They trained alongside, working together to reach their end goal of becoming soldiers. Outside of practice, they would sometimes hang together. Oliva could feel something else growing within her but before she gained the chance to figure out what to do with it, Damian left with his father.
Kaitlyn Novak

It was a few hours after Liv had arrived in Sierra that she met Kate. She had nowhere to go, and no place to call her own. She didn't have any idea where to go, but still had wounds that needed to be professionally attended to. That's when Kaitlyn found her and brought her back to care for her. The two girls immediately hit it off, glad to have another female in their age group.
Oliva considers Kaitlyn someone she can confide in and someone who will be there for her. Liv learns how to be a nurse from Kate and in exchange, she teaches Kate how to defend herself. If it had been before the apocalypse and the two had met by coincidence, the two would have still been best friends complete with sleep overs, secrets, and an allegiance to always stay besties.
Oliver Allington

Oliva never officially met Oliver, but she's heard of him about camp. Rumors spread about, and she knows of him as the one who sprays walls trying to spark a riot. But she was there when his parents were dragged out of his house. She only watched, like many others that day. She'll always remember that there's another side to Sierra.
Liv doesn't know how to feel about Oliver. On the one hand, she doesn't feel fond towards him for trying to spark something among the people. They have something nice, why go and try to ruin it after so many years? On the other hand, she completely understands and feels sympathetic towards Oliver. She knows what it's like to lose your parents, but not like that.
Amelia Wintergarden

Liv hasn't ever met Amelia, probably because Amelia is five years older than Oliva. She's seen her out and about before, but very rarely. She's known to her has "Horse Girl", or something along those lines. She knows that she raises the horses of Sierra, and respects her for it. She'll be sure to consult her for any horse needs she has.
Joseph Briggs

Oliva knows Joseph from guard training. She knows how disciplined he has become, and how good of a soldier he is. What she doesn't understand though, is that he can't let loose. She feels he is so "stiff" all of the time, not knowing when to take things a little more lightly. She's certain that he has another side to him but can't confirm it, as she doesn't really hang with him.
