Kyle Hishamie

Kyle smiled and cleared his throat. Kyle walked over to Clara/Erin and gave a slightly funny now.
"Well very nice to meet you too. I would love to be able to say my intentions are pure and simple, and that I'm no one to be scared of........so that's exactly what I'm gonna say. My name is Kyle Hishamie. My intentions are pure and simple, and I am no one you should be scared of."
Kyle gave a light hearted laugh and put his hands in his pockets.
"you know this school looks....awesome. And if your here Clara/Erin I might just wanna stay. But I'm just a weary traveller,"Kyle said feigning fatigue"and I do not know my way around this place. So scary. It would make me feel better if a badass like yourself could show me around. Plus if, as we are hanging, you start to realize that I'm a trusty worthy person and fall hopelessly in love with me, then alls the better."
Kyle gave a small wink and another laugh, hoping she knew he was kidding, mostly, and didn't kick his ass.
"Oh yea and by the way Haru.....i found Clara/Erin."Kyle said nonchalantly

Not to far down the road that the school was on a faint sound can be heard. As most of the guards look down the road they can see a bus driving down the road. As it comes up to the school it stops out in front. Only one man can be seen inside the vehicle. He looks to the guards then proceeds to picked up a large bag off the floor. He then dumps the bag out the door and waves to the guards theh speeds off. The whole time the guards not once lowered their weapons. After a few moments on uses his walkie to say, "Nikki. We have a situation here. Someone, we have no idea who, just drove up and dropped a bag off. What do you want us to do?

When whoever finally makes a decision on what to do and the bag is opened. The slowly rotting corpse of Chris is discovered inside. The smell is horrid, but once everyone gets over the smell they each notice a small book laying in the bag alongside him. If one were to read it the only page with writing on it is the first which says, "You killed our Patriarch. So, we have decided to get a little payback. We have some of your friends. If you want to see them again come to the courthouse with your leader, the one who killed our Patriarch, and up to three more people. We will know when you get there. See you then."

Camyllia felt a familiar sting on her face as she was yet again punched. She had numbed herself at the moment to the punches and kicks. The man hurting her grabbed her face and made her look at him,"Cry damn it. Beg! Do something!" He says. Camyllia laughs spitting in his face,her lungs hurting as she does.

"Ya hit like a girl asshole!" She says smirking at him. He has been trying to break her and make her beg for her life. Camyllia is never one to beg and at first she would have cried but her anger had gotten towards a point where she just pisses them off for the fun of it.

"Stupid little." Another punch sends her flying to the ground. "Watch your mouth girl. Wouldn't want to be the next to go like your friend."

"Ya can't touch me remember? Ya can beat the shit outta me all ya want but ya can't kill me." Camyllia says with a smirk.

The man seemed to get the hint that she was done for and called a guard to take her back to her "cell". Picking her up by the collar of her shirt she was dragged out of the room and into a corridor. Finally the guard stops at a dark wooden door,"Here's your stop." The guard says opening the door the sounds of Blitz barking coming from inside. "You won't be getting food. Again." He says pushing Camyllia inside before slamming the door shut. Leaving Camyllia on the ground bitting her tongue to keep from crying in pain.

Taking a shuddering breath Camyllia crawls her way to a chained up Blitz and hugs her. The dog snarling but not attacking,"I'm sorry Blitz." She whispers before letting go of her dog and slowly sits up next to her dog. Blitz finally calms down enough to lay down and have her head on Camyllia's leg. She heard knocking not to much later coming from the other wall. Grunting getting up Camyllia limps to the wall and sits near it,"Rob?"

"Camyllia! Are you alright?" Robert says sounding worried.

"Those assholes can't hurt me to bad Rob! Though I think one of my teeth are loose." Camyllia says smiling.

"Cam." Robert says in a warning tone.

"What? It's true!" Camyllia says.

"Alright, Alright. How bad did he beat you?" He asks.

"I don' know. He had already bruised my ribs I think broken one because my sides hurt like a son of a bitch."

"Language young lady." Robert says earning a laugh from Camyllia.

"Yeah, yeah. But I think my ankle is twisted and my jaw hurts." She says sighing looking at her dog."And we're hungry."

"I'm sorry,Camyllia.." Robert says.

"Don' apologize. It aint your fault Rob Zombie." Camyllia says with a smirk.

A laugh comes from the other side of the wall."I gotta go,Cam. They're going to come and get me next...get some rest love." He says. Camyllia moves away from the wall going to her dog who was whimpering in her sleep. Laying next to Blitz, Camyllia kisses her nose before closing her eyes.

Towards the other side of the building Alex has been tied up to a chair. "So, are you gonna speak or do you want to die like the ones we found you with." He stayed silent. These guys were smart, but they couldn't fool Alex. For the past few weeks they have kept him by himself only letting one person into his room at a time, and each time the person wore some sort of mask or hood to cover his face.

This guy was wearing one of those executioners hoods which seemed a little funny to Alex. If they were planning to kill him there was no reason to have him leave the message saying that he and Chris had met up with Robert and Camyllia and that they were going to stay out for a few more weeks.

He also knew that if he was the only one alive that killing him would mean they wouldn't get any information. The only reason they would kill him was if the others were still alive. Alex knew it was just a hunch, but it was still the only thing keeping Alex from breaking.

"You know you're just wasteing time and energy. Each thing you tell us about your group that is true equals something good for you. We already know a good deal about your people at the school. So, just tell us. Unless you want us to go grab some of them and bring them in front of you. I recall two little kids who joined the school with you."

Alex knew that they knew about the school. They hadn't failed to mention it multiple times, but this wa the first time they actually threatened to hurt any of the ones from the school.Let alone his siblings. "If you or any of the mongrels you call 'Family' lay a finger on them a will not stop until a make sure each and everyone of you suffer for it. Also, just for even mentioning it I will personally kill you with my barehands. Slowly."

"Oh, you finally spoke. Looks like I hid the button right on. This should speed up the process. I would like to know how you're gonna kill me. Strapped down in this chair. You can't even see my face." Alex didn't answer the man. He just looked up and gave a devilish grin. The man seemed to flinch at the smile, but then went on with his job and started beating Alex.

After a few minutes the man decided he was done for the day and started to leave saying, "Your gonna die here. But you'll see their corpses before you die." Alex responded slowly, "I may die here, but it won't be their corpses I see. It will be yours."

Nikki grabbed her trenchcoat and one of the six packs of beer she had snatched on one of her last supply runs. "I'll be in the Monster if you need me." "Okay Nikki" Jenna said. Nikki liked coming out to watch the sunset in the evenings. She climbed into her monster truck and got all nice and comfy and popped the top on her beer bottle and leaned it back taking a good drink of it.

"Guards check in" Nikki said over the walkie. There was an order and they knew what way to do. She had started this after Vincent left the last time. She just didn't trust him not to do something. Erin and Haru were still here. Raven had taken off with Vincent. Nikki just couldn't get the total coldness in his eyes out of her mind. She wasn't scared of him...exactly. He made her nervous. She listened as they began their nightly routine. At the end Nikki didn't hear Marcus and asked if the nearest could see him. Maybe there was something wrong with the Walkie. "Nikki it looks like something is wrong with him." "I'm on my way! Don't leave your posts!" She grabbed her sword and jumped over the side of the raised truck and opened the door running through the kitchen nearly giving Jenna a fit. She ran through part of the cafeteria down the main hallway and out the back door. Marcus was at the farthest section. Matt ran after her, crowbar and walkie in hand.

When they got to Marcus' section which was all the way across the football field and then some Nikki stopped and Matt killed the walker that was eating Marcus. It had apparently gotten him when he stepped up to the fence to pee. It had been able to pull him close enough and bite him through the fence. "Guys...Marcus is dead. Don't go near the fences especially to pee. They pulled him through the fence and started eating him. Matt needs help with Marcus, James can you come out here please?"

Nikki passed James on her way back and he gave her a wide birth. Nikki happened to see Kyle in the hallway. "Hey New guy....Kyle. Come with me."

"Nikki. We have a situation here. Someone, we have no idea who, just drove up and dropped a bag off. What do you want us to do?"

"Son of a bitch. I'm on my way!" she answered. "Come on Kyle!" She headed out the front door and waited for him to catch up. She ran over to the bag. It was the size of a body and when she opened the bag the stench was enough to knock you out. Nikki covered her face and looked inside. She dropped to her knees and picked up the note.

Nikki read the note in the book

You killed our Patriarch. So, we have decided to get a little payback. We have some of your friends. If you want to see them again come to the courthouse with your leader, the one who killed our Patriarch, and up to three more people. We will know when you get there. See you then.

Nikki stood up. "Matt drop what you are doing and get out front now!" "What happened?" "They killed Chris. They also have others of our people from the school." "I'm on my way." "Jenna! Get everyone in the cafeteria and figure out who is missing." "Right away Nikki."

After a few minutes Jenna called out "Robert, Camylia, Alex, Chris and Roger" "WTF! I told Camy NO! Now she has Robert in danger too!"

@dabombjk@aintitfun1997@Alexfangtalon

Kat was sitting in the gym with Gracie. The baby was trying to walk by herself. She was actually getting good at standing by herself as long as she had something to hold on to.
Kat was worried. Alex was missing. Had been for some time. People said that maybe he just moved on after what happened with Matt, but Kat felt he wouldn't have left the kids behind. He cared about them too much to do that. She had wanted people to go and look for him, but they also had to protect their home from whatever group Malcolm had come from. She had been told his sob story but she didn't believe it for a moment.
And there was the situation with Nikki and Vincent. Things had backed off between them but Kat had dealt with his kind before. As a blackjack dealer in Las Vegas you see and deal with the mob a lot. Kat had learned to deal the cards and keep her mouth shut, but her eyes and ears had been open to see a lot of things. A man like Vincent was not going to just give up. There would be retaliation and it would not be pretty.
And Kat had another thing to worry about. She was feeling crummy lately, weak and sick. The last time she had felt this way had been right before she'd...

She look at Grace and felt her smile come back. She loved her daughter with all of her being, but bring another child into this world just spelled trouble. How could she get pregnant again, now of all times?
And how was she supposed to find out? Any pregnancy tests would be in the med area where Matt watched like a hawk. She didn't want him to know, just in case she wasn't pregnant.
Would Jenna or Nikki get one for her, under the pretense it was for them? No, she couldn't ask Nikki to do that. Matt would blow a gasket if he thought his little sister was pregnant.

Getting up, she picked up Gracie and went towards the kitchen.
Spying Jenna, she walked over and got a jar of peaches for Grace to gnaw on. "Hey Jenna...? Kat started to ask and faltered a bit, blushing in embarrassment. "I have a favor to ask and... god this is awkward... um... look you don't have to do it if you don't want to, but I don't know who else to ask without freaking everyone out, especially Matt. Listen... could you..." Kat closed her eyes and said it fast and low. "Could you go to first aid and get a pregnancy test for me without anyone knowing about it?"

Before they knew it everyone was yelling. Gracie cried and Kat cuddled her close to shush her. In a crisis, when you were scared, it said a lot about you for who you called for first.
"Where's Matt?" Kat asked aloud as she and others were ushered into the cafeteria.

Clara Moon

Clara noted the sudden spark of communication which caused the school to spark to life. Everyone was told to go onto the cafeteria and then Jenna did a headcount which meant something was up. The woman started listing names only when Alex's was said did the darker half's ears perked up all the way. Now that she mentioned it he hadn't been around for a while which wasn't like the young man. The young woman slowly backed out of the cafeteria and made her way down toward the medical. She practically tore the room apart searching for something to cut this stupid splint off before someone came inside and discovered her. Finally the girl was able to find some medical scissors inside the desk. ” Sneaky move Matt. Just not sneaky enough for me.” she whispered as she slowly jammed the object inside the crack and forced them side to side causing to slowly pull apart. When the thing snapped out loud the teenager would have cheered if it had not felt odd to have both arms back. ’” Alright now. All I need are my knives and then I'm gone.” with one step down Clara snuck right back out.

She knew where the knives were because it was Haru who had stored them. Taped underneath the bottom desk drawer on the left side. That was the guy's idea of a prank but little did he know that the darker half used both hands to fight. Once inside she quickly grabbed the weapons before turning around and walking out. The teenager continued to walk ignoring friendly greetings and people trying to stop her to ask what she was doing. It wasn't until the girl was outside in the back before one of the guards called out. “ Hey. What are you doing out here Erin? I need you to go back inside now. It's not safe out here.” He said as he came closer. The girl counted his footsteps as the man came closer, reacting only when his walkie sparked to life, hitting him squarely in the jaw and knocking him out. Smirk worked it's way across of the teenager's face as she picked the walkie up and threw it toward the school. ” Oops. My bad man.”

The young woman slowly walked around the gate until she noted a good spot to climb over granted the barb wiring would be an interesting challenge. She slowly climbed before the guards caught sight of her. One even called Nikki on the walkie asking what to do as the darker half carefully worked her way over the wire. Walkers started slowly gather toward her area coding the guards to kill the undead allowing the girl to land without incident. ” Well that was fun. I can't wait to see what Nikki will say this time. I just hope she knows I'm doing this for Erin and doesn't follow after me.” the teenager mumbled to herself as she run toward the town, which would make her pass the front gate, showing everyone gathered Clara was free.

Vincent McGarth

Vincent paced back and forth inside the small trailer he hand recently moved inside to. His eyes darted left and right as he studied the homemade board that was laid out upon his table. For three weeks now the man had been busy gathering information on what different groups had been doing and where their borderlines were located but the only thing that seemed to be uncontrollable was the undead. The man sighed as he continued to pace slowly humming his favorite tune inside his mind. A knock on his door caused the man's eyes to direct toward the door. ” Please come on inside.” he coolly said as a fake smile crept up his lips. A young teenager was slowly pushed inside with Raven following not too far behind. She walked up to the board and pointed to the area she had found him before the older man marked it with a black sharpie marker. ” Thank you Raven. Make sure to let Dominick and Jesse know we have have to keep an eye on that area. As well as keep an eye out on the high school.” she nodded and then walked out of the trailer.

His attention turned toward the newcomer before he spoke.” Sorry about my sister. She had lost her lover to a group of Bitters a long time ago and just hasn't quite been the same. Now I how may I help you Mr.?” “Heat. my name is Joshua Heat. I lost my parents to those things and have been traveling on my own for a while now. Your sister saved me from being lunch meat. And I would like to say thank you.” The young man said as he held out his hand. The guy shook it as his smile slowly turned into one of pain. ” I'm sorry for your lost. I know how that is.” there was a stop for effect before Vincent continued sounding a bit choked up. ” My lover was stolen from me as well as my other sister. They are being held by a man named Matt Hyatt. I've tried negotiations for their release but he has not shown an ounce of mercy. The reports I received recently places him inside the high school so I can't go inside to save them.” a forced tear ran down his cheek.

After an hour of negotiating with Josh the man had gained a new member. So far there was about 20 members total Which wasn't truly enough for a full scale attack on the place, not that he would that with Nikki and Erin inside, but enough to branch out to other groups. A hand shifted through the man's hair as he looked back at the handmade object. Everything of the old world was now missing which made things harder. Granted Vincent no longer had to worry about cops or others such as that just the undead and Matthew Hyatt. He shifted inside his chair once again and began humming the tune out loud deep in thought.

Kyles mind was racing. While he was jokingly flirting with the cute apparently crazy chick, Nikki had grabbed him and made him go along with her to check on something Kyle could only assume was bad. He was right. It was bad. Kyle had gotten used to death, didnt like it but he had accepted it would happen. Kyle heard about the dead guard, and thought that would be the worst of it. He was wrong. When Nikki and Kyle arrived at their destination Kyle did not expect to see a person in a bag."Holy shit Parkour FemJesus.......Who did you piss off," Kyle had asked in disbelief.

Nikki looked at him with a wry smile. "No one, my brother did it." She grabbed the bag and pulled it behind the fences into the safe zone and grabbed the book and went back to the doors. When Matt came through she handed him the book and pointed at the bag. He came back feeling guilty and angry. He stormed through the doors and Nikki looked upset.

Kyle looked at Nikki, who was obviously pretty pissed, or sad. Either one was bad. Probably both in this case. Kyle walked over to Nikki and put his hand on her shoulder gently."So..........remmember when you said 'hey join our community-it isnt that bad-blah blah blah- yea next time maybe mention the fact that somebody-," Kyle paused for dramatic effect," Has it out for you guys. I mean its the friggin apocalypse maybe now isnt the best time to be murdering patriarchs." Kyle sighed."But i mean whatever i didnt have anything else to do. Out of pot. Whats our next move?"

Nikki said "It was Kat's father the child rapist. And we didn't know he was anyone's Patriarch. This is the only our second incident with another group. I think we have to talk to Matt and see what he thinks."

Matt was in the medical room. "Who are we taking Nik?" "Seriously? I'm still curious why they have so many of our people and want more all for Kat's fucked up dad? Matt....We might need you to lose your temper again. These guys want your head." "I know, FUCK! everything I did that day was because I was so enraged." "I know." "Nik, Kat won't forgive me if it happens again." "Well she isn't going with us." "This is true. Get James." " You think he is a good choice since I broke his face? " "That's precisely why I want him going. They will tease him about getting his nose broke by a girl and not see the muscles he has under the jacket. They will give him reason to fight all on their own. We need one more." Nikki looked at Kyle and smiled. "No we'll take Kyle here too."

Kyle chuckled."Jeez I think that last bowl i smoked somehow is still affecting me cause for a moment I thought you said i was going with you." Nikki and Matt both didnt change their facial expression."Jeez Parkor Fem Jesus fine. Guess i should pull my own weight right? awesome. So if im going you should know that im really good, and for like no reason at all, at chemistry. I hit that guy James with a stink bomb earlier i made from nothing. If i can have access to the most basic components i can make whatever we need for this mission. Just.....dont die alright," Kyle said looking at Nikki," Seriously, your not allowed. No one is. We all need to make it back alive. I dont like leaving people behind."

Nikki grinned "Ok we will do our best not to die. "Matt called James on the walkie and told him to get ready to go. "Nikki took Kyle's hand and went inside. We need to get you some stuff and some gear." She handed him a semi automatic hand gun. A crowbar and asked. "This is a dumb question considering you showed up here alone. Do you know how to kill a walker? And can you shoot a gun?"

Kyle grinned."Yea but it was tough. I tried blowing them up by sticking firecrackers up there ass, but they are like....death by exploding ass proof. Then i tried calling them names but they just tried to eat me. That doesnt kill them, just their feelings. Finally i tried 'Death by Head Wound' and walah it worked." Kyle gave a soft laugh then frowned. "But no i dont...usually shoot firearms." Kyle held the side arm awkwardly. then lifted up the crowbar."This i could work with. Like i said i am good at chemistry. Give me a few minutes and i could probably make something. Guns are....messy." Kyle flashed a grin at Nikki."Bet you know how to shoot really really well huh PFJ? Im so glad to have a beautiful woman protecting me," Kyle said teasingly.

Nikki was trying hard not to laugh. She shook her head with a smile on her face. "You and Matt, For our last big battle he built this big ass potato cannon and threw cherry bombs that he made." She took back the gun. "Keep the crowbar on you. I'll take the gun so you don't shoot yourself. Just stay behind me. Actually I'm going to look at something and see if it works. Depending on where they are at the courthouse I might be able to sneak in. Since it's obvious that they know where we are they probably know about me....maybe Matt they think you are leader because I wasn't here right after that. I was with Vincent. Maybe they dont know about me. We can use this to our advantage. You get what you need. Matt get your bombs!"

Nikki laughed and helped Matt load up some bombs in all of their pockets except Nikki's. She was going to be climbing on the courthouse. She let Kyle wear her trenchcoat. "If you mess up my coat I'll kill you." She said smirking. "Let them think you guys are alone. I can sneak in through the ventilation or jump them from above."

Nikki leaned in closer to Kyle. "Having you come with us also gives me a buffer from James. So thank you for that." James was giving her an unhappy look as it was.

Kyle smiled slightly."Yea...James is quite the uh Jefferson Starship huh? So are you James..what ex bf and gf? The only reasoned i hit him with a stink bomb was because he cornered me and threatened me to stay away from you.," Kyle leaned in slightly closer to Nikki,"And ill be honest now all i wanna do is piss him off by being friendly around you. Me, the new guy. Man thats would sting."Kyle laughed softly, looking Nikki in the eyes, with his clear, green eyes. Kyle tugged at the trenchcoat Nikki let him wear."You know, I knew a guy once that always wore a trenchcoat."
Nikki chuckled. "No one has ever worn that coat but me. Just be careful. It's really heavy because I have a lot in the pockets. Be careful or you will stab yourself." Nikki didn't know what to think of Kyle but she knew she liked him.

"Okay I think we need to take my car but I'm not going with you that way. I'm going on foot. You guys showing up in the car will distract them while I am assessing the situation and climbing if I need to. You guys ready?" Matt said "Wait I have to tell Kat what we are doing." Nikki nodded and Matt took off upstairs. James kept staring at them and she knew he was doing it so she smiled at Kyle and whispered "Just go with it." She put her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him in for a rather lusty kiss. When she pulled back she realized there was a lot more there than she expected.

Kyle was slightly stunned at the kiss from Nikki. He heard her tell him to go with it and he assumed it was for James benefit. Well Kyle was not one to shy away. Kyle went in again, this time with him having the advantage, he wrapped his arm around her waist, and kissed Nikki more passionately. Kyle kept the kissing going for a few more seconds than pulled away."I think i just found my before and after good luck tradition huh?" Kyle glanced to where James was and was pleased with the results. Kyle let go of Nikki and entered the vehicle going this inventory of already made weapons he had on him. He had a walker lure stink bomb, two fire bombs that could set almost anything on fire, one noise maker bomb, and three small flash bombs that, when activated, could temporarily blind someone so long as they were looking right at it.

Kyle's kiss kind of unbalanced her for a moment. She knew she was smiling like crazy and she shook her head grinning and she caught a peak at James and wow was he pissed. When Matt came back he looked a little harried. "As you can imagine Kat is not happy about this." "Can you blame her? Come on let's go. They are watching the courthouse in order to know when we get there. I'll have to get in quietly. The courthouse is about a mile and a half from here so I'll see you there." Nikki ran and jumped over the 6 foot fence and darted into the trees. Matt waited about 15 minutes and pulled out. "Alright guys let's do this."

@aintitfun1997@alexfangtalon@belle@demonic angel

Kat was not happy.
Kat was downright pissed as hell.

"That old bastard is dead and he's still taking things from me!" she fairly screamed at Matt when he had explained what was happening. "I can't do this Matt! I can't! Don't go! They'll kill you! I can't lose you! Please!"
But he left. Despite her pleas he left her again.

They were back in their room. Grace was asleep on the bed and Kat was trying not to scream in anguish.
The pregnancy test Jenna had gotten for her was in her hand. The result was staring at her, the two lines mocking her. She threw the test in rage. It flew out the open door and struck the wall, the sound echoing like a gunshot. Kat sank to the floor covering her mouth in an attempt to stifle her sobs.

Pregnant.

And the father was going to his death.

Grabbing the radio, she tried to reach them. "Matt? Nikki? Anyone? Please respond... someone, please respond..." she said, her voice cracking in the effort to keep from crying.

Haru Sento

Haru slowly walked Erin's room as he became concerned about what just happened. He liked Alex and Robert as well as anybody else but the young man had yet to make progress with Camy. Now they seemed to be missing to be missing from the school. The young man walked up the stairs in thought of how this could all go downhill from a single screw up. One case they lose maybe one or two. Worse case would be they lose all of them which would cause the group to fall apart. Mainly because Nikki was the glue that held them together. Matt was significant to the group structure as well but not as much as his sister was. His hand slowly raked through his hair as the guy tried to figure out what to say to Clara. Once at her door the teenager gently knock on the door on waited for the familiar voice yelling for the person to walk away. After a few minutes of silence Haru knocked again before turning the doorknob as slowly stepping inside. ” Clara are you in here? I didn't notice when you walked out of the cafeteria and when I did notice i thought it would be best to check up on you.” a frown formed upon his lips when he noticed that the dark half was nowhere to be seen.

” Oh no. Now I'm definitely going to be killed by Matt for losing her. Better find her fast before they come back.” the young man muttered out loud before turning around and dashing off to find the young woman. He ran down the stars, nearly twisting his ankle, and turned quickly into the medical room. The place looked cleaned when you first walked inside but messy as you walked farther in though the disaster was toward the very back of the room. The young man raked his hand through his hair again when his eyes caught something laying on the floor. He crouched down and picked it up only to turn pale from knowing what it was. ” I'm dead. I'm dead. My life is so over. I'm so going to be killed by Matt.” the guy muttered as he walked out the door with the broken splint. He walked toward the cafeteria and continued toward the back to where Jenna might be. ” Is there any place to hide from Matt? Because if there isn't I'm totally dead when they get back. Clara is gone and I have no clue where she is at and I found this inside our messed up medical room which means she is exactly where the girl shouldn't be.” he said as he place the object near the trash can.

Camyllia looks up as one of the men came in smirking like he won a lottery. Two more ented from behind him and grabbed her arms lifting her off the ground. One went to get Blitz but she started snapping at him and growling.

"Tell her to back off." One of the men told Camyllia,"Now or we will kill her." He says getting out a pistol.

"Blitz."Camyllia says,"Calm down. Wanna see Oppal?" She asks the dog getting it to back off whimpering. Camyllia sighs then was dragged off from the room. Coming out of the room to see Robert standing there at his door.

"Alright move it. No talking or you'll be pushed down the stairs." The man had beaten Camyllia not even an hour ago. Opening the door leading to a wooden stair case The man goes first then Blitz, Robert and then Camyllia. When they get to the bottom they open another door leads into another hallway. The front doors are onto their right and the entrance to the side yard of the court yard. They took the three prisoners towards two large wooden doors and walked them in.

"Put them in separate corners. You two don't talk. You talk, you die. Got it?" One of them commanded.

"Aye aye Cap'n." Camyllia said sarcastically earning a slap to the back of the head. Before being pushed into a corner.

"No Talking" Her guard said before moving away from her.

---

Alex had no idea where he was. Earlier that morning they had decided to move him to a different location. They blindfolded him so that he wouldn't have a clue of where they were taking him. When they finally let him see he was sitting in some sort of office room and the only one around was some older guy with a ugly comb over. "Really. The first face I see is this."

"Oh, don't be like that. We are about to have some fun. You're going to get to hear as your friends die." Not likely. Alex knew better than that. These people may have layed some sort of trap, but the people from the school weren't stupid. Alex quickly realized the only two in the room were him and the old man. He didn't see any weapons. All the guy had was a walkie talkie. Also Alex's hands were only bound with rope. They weren't even that tight. It seemed as if they wanted him to escape.

Still Alex started to wriggle his hands around to loosen the ropes. If they wanted to let him escape that'd be fine by him. He'd have a pleasure killing this rat.

---

Nikki was 2/3 of the way when a call from Kat on a private channel. "What is it Kat you got me." "Nikki... Tell Matt... I need him to come back safely. Nik... Nik I'm pregnant again." Nikki listened and calmed her down a little and turned off her walkie and shoved it into the back of her jeans. She hurried towards the courthouse.

Nikki hurried through the area and she was glad she was wearing a darker outfit. She stopped and covered herself in blood at least on her arms and face and shirt. When she had to appear in order to move or so she acted like one of the dead. It worked too the walkers let her blend in and they gave her cover so she could get through. She noticed a few people on the courthouse roof and the police station. There was at least one gun up there. She walked with some of the walkers right up to the courthouse. She snuck inside one of the unlocked side doors.

Nikki looked around the room she had entered and it was just some office. She sighed. She had made it.

Matt and the boys drove slowly up the street to the courthouse. They knew they wouldn't see Nikki. That was the point of her going in the way that she did. When they got out of the car they saw a lot of people on roofs looking and pointing guns at them. Matt led the group inside.

---

Kyle followed Matt inside the building. It wasnt in too great of shape and the people watching them werent that great of shape either. Kyle could see the fear, the attitude, the hunger in everyones eyes. Kyle nudged Matts shoulder."So uh..hey this is all going according to plan right? Cause just give the word and i can drop a smoke or a flash. We could duck out at any time." Kyle saw the stern look from Matt and he shut up. Kyle thought to himself OK then shutting up. Oh dear lord we are all going to die. Kyle walked with his group until they entered a court room. Inside there was a was a walkie talkie in the spot where the judge would be and a few people in the jury seats. Kyle sighed. "Well....yea ive been in this spot before. Good luck dude." Kyle said to Matt, patting him on the back.

As soon as the trio had situated themselves in the room the door in the back of the room opened. Two figures with bags over their heads and a dog were lead out into the room. Each had two guards per person and one for the dog. They lead the female figure to one side of the room and kept the male figure near the door. The one with the dog walked over to be in front of the judge's desk. The five looked at each other and nodded removing the bags off of the heads of the two people. The man, Robert, once he saw his allies screamed, "MATT JAM-" until he was stopped with a punch staright to the gut.

That's when the guard near the judge's desk grabbed the walkie and spoke into saying, "They are here. The man we believe that goes by Matt, the one who goes by James, and a new man we haven't seen before. He is wearing a similar coat to the one that girl wears." A few moments pass with silence and then out from the Walkie, "So, we can assume the murderer is either Matt or James then. If you tell us now we can spare your group any further punishment."

After hearing that Kyle spoke up."Listen ya Idjit if you think you can make any one of us say anything, then my friend you can kiss my trenchcoat wearing ass and stick it where the sun dont shine. The only thing you can make me admit is that i do have a record, and i am currently slightly high but i wont say it unless you make swear over a bible to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And when i admit it you have to escort me out because you cant be high in the courtroom. We win HA."

After Kyle's little tantrum all that is heard from the Walkie is, "Robert. Have fun." As soon as he finishes saying the few words the two guards on either side of Robert throw him to the ground and start to stomp and kick him. He can be heard screaming out in pain, but he soon cant say words because his already swollen face is now losing a few teeth. When they seem to have finished the two drag the man over in front of the three with his blood trailing behind. They pick him up to his knees and say, "Go ahead Robert. Say thank you to the nice man you don't even know." It takes a few seconds until Robert can even open his mouth but finally he is able to manage, "Thank-Thank you."

---

Alex wasn't expecting to hear about Robert and Camyllia being alive. Sure, he had pretty much guessed they were, but to just let him know for sure. Then he heard about a new guy standing alongside James and Matt. What had happened while he was gone. If anyone else was in danger Alex was gonna be pissed.

When he heard the comment from the new person through the walkie Alex thought that something bad must've happened at the school if they'd bring someone that stupid along. Then Alex's confusion was gone and he was pissed again. Robert got the mess beat out of him thanks to the new guy. If everyone got out of this fine Alex was gonna need to have a few 'words' with the guy.

---

Nikki is listening from outside the courtroom. The newly deceased behind her on the floor and she bit her lip when she heard the screaming from Robert. She opened the door just a fraction so she could see without making herself seen. There were 12 men in that room with her three. She picked up the AK one of the guards had out and she let some of the walkers she was with into the room. They pushed through the door and went towards the center of the room.

As the room became distracted by them she came in and shot up the jury and she dropped the gun and started taking out the enemy.

Kyle reacted swiftly, seeing the walkers barge through and hearing gun shots, running to the part of the room where the guards were with the prisoners. Kyle dug in his pockets and threw his home made flash bombs at the gaurds yelling to the prisoners "DUCK AND SHIELD YOUR EYES". like stated before the bombs were not very powerful and homemade, luckily the guards ignored Kyles warning and looked directly at the flying paper balls. Immediatley the guards dropped any weapons they had and put their hands to their eyes, screaming in pain. Kyle looked at the dog approaching him, and saw that the dog had a muzzle on. Kyle quickly looked at the entire situation and decided to help the prisoners first. Kyle searched through his pockets and found a knife. Kyle quickly cut away the duct tape off the prisoners right as the guards began recovering.

Camyllia moved her wrists around rubbing them before sighing muttering a thank you. She pushes one of the recovering guards and run to Blitz removing the muzzle. Blitz began growling at something behind Camyllia making the teen turn. It was the man that had beaten her not to long ago. She smirks at him and punched him knocking him back to the ground when he landed his head banged against the floor. "That is how you punch asshole." Camyllia mutters. She looks to the man. "We have to get Robert." She says going towards the beaten man. He groans in pain when the girl tried to pick him up,"C'mon Rob work with me." Camyllia puts his arm around her shoulders Robert shifts so he was standing well more leaning on the teen.

Kyle got the smaller group out the first door and that put them in the main hallway which thanks to Nikki was full of walkers. Kyle threw one of his walker attracting bombs down the side hall and they watched the group head that way the one or two that didn't turn Kyle took out with the crowbar. He helped Camy carry Robert to the car. "Was there anyone else inside?" Kyle said seriously.

"There was b-but he's dead." She says bowing her head a bit letting Blitz hop into the car before following in after them.

---

Nikki and Matt tag teamed the remaining guards and killed all of the walkers in the room. James was still fighting and Nikki said "Matt!" "Yeah?" He dropped another one. "Kat is pregnant." Matt turned and looked at her and Nikki had to kick the walker away from him. "Pay attention!" He looked back up and stabbed it through the brain. "Holy shit!" He said grinning. When the room was dead the three walked outside still very aware that there were more out there somewhere.

Nikki hurried them to the car and told Matt to go. Matt refused to leave without her because they didn't know how many there were left. Nikki grabbed one of the ak's and took out the last two on the ground and the ones she had seen earlier were hiding. Nikki hopped up onto the back of the car and hit it on the side and Matt drove them out of there with Nikki on guard.

---

As soon as all the commotion went down the man in front of Alex got a perplexed look on his face. The man stood up and walked over to a window to check what was going on. That's when Alex made his move. He quickly wretched his left hand out of the restraints and ran up behind the man wrapping the rope around his neck tightening it and holding it there until the man stopped squirming. He leaned towards the mans ear and said, "Seems you were expendable."

Alex grabbed the walkie and left the room. The place was abandoned. There was nothing except for the lingering signs that indicated this place was most likely a police station. Alex decided to go up in order to get a vantage point. When he got up to the roof he noticed one other person towards the edge with a sniper rifle.

Alex slowly and quietly came up behind the man and noticed he was about to pull the trigger on his allies, but before that could happen Alex grabbed the man and threw him back grabbing the rifle from him. Before the guy could stand up Alex smacked him with the butt of the rifle causing him to yelp in pain and tumble backwards.

Quickly Alex rushed to him and lifted him to his knees and pushed the man over the edge. Alex quickly turned back to the direction of his allies to see them driving off leaving without him, "Crap! They must not know I'm here." Alex slung the rifle on his back and began his way down to street level.

@Demonic angel

Nikki turned on her radio. "Kat, Jenna we are on our way back." Jenna smiled and the people in the cafeteria were so very quiet. "We got Camy and Robert back but he is in bad shape. Chris is as you know, dead. No sign of Roger or Alex but Camy believes Alex to be dead. We are fine!" A huge sigh of relief was heard as people started talking again.

When they got back Nikki jumped off of the car trunk and ran to the side door of the car and checked on Robert. She helped Matt get him out and James came over and took over for her without a word. She looked at Camy and said "You and I are going to have a very serious talk young lady."

Nikki stood there looking at Kyle for a minute and smirked at him. She wrapped her arm around his waist and they walked inside. After a few minutes of everyone talking all at once Nikki escaped and went to the bathroom and seeing herself she grabbed clean clothes and went to the showers. She had walker blood in her hair. The sink wasn't going to be enough.

She revelled in the hot water and scrubbed her hair vigorously. Washing it a second time she was certain that she had gotten it all out. Nikki had put on some cut off sweatpants and a tank top.

Nikki hadn't even gotten down the hall to her room and Jenna ran up. "Nikki I didn't want to tell you this while you were out there." Nikki stopped combing her hair. "Oh no...what happened? Please don't say it....please just not that, not now." "I'm sorry, Clara is gone and Haru is hiding from Matt." Nikki made a sort of tired and everybody loves to torture me sound.

It was starting to get dark out there. "Fine. I'll find her." Nikki headed back into her room. She had her head in her hands trying to find the energy to keep everything from falling apart. She picked up her walkie. Nikki shut her door and put her pants back on. "I swear if I find her I'm gonna tie her up or handcuff her to Haru." Nikki threw herself on her bed and grabbed her boots to put them back on. After realizing there were other groups so close to them she wasn't leaving without a gun anymore it just wasn't a reasonable idea. After talking to Haru she stopped by medical and checked in on Robert.

Matt looked at her. "Going back out? Why?" Nikki looked pissed "Clara" "No fucking way!" "mhmm I don't know what we are going to do Matt. She is almost an adult and I can't be chasing her all the time. What if I cant find her or worse I do and she insists on fighting me? She tore her cast off again so we are back at square one." Matt said, "I hate to say it sis but at some point you are going to have to let her go. Clara knows how to take care of herself and Erin won't take her meds. What else can you do? Are you going to follow her around forever?" "I don't know. I just know that I'm tired Matt. I run all day at full tilt and then when I want to relax even for ten minutes I can't because Erin is fighting with Haru or locking him out or running off. If she wanted to stay here so bad then why the fuck am I always bringing her back?" She stopped. "She is a big girl. I guess if she wants to go I can't stop her."

She turned around to trip over James and he barely caught her. He was in his chair and she had tripped over the foot of the chair not realizing it was there. When he caught her he took a little too much liberty and Nikki got even more pissed off and Matt came out into the hallway. Matt lifted his sister off of James and put her aside. "James, I'm not gonna put up with you being disrespectful to Nikki." Matt hauled off and hit him across the jaw. James fell backwards against the wall just as Kyle rounded the corner. Nikki walked around James and went back into her room. Matt called Darius. "Dude, you're out of here. Darius walk him out please." "No problem." Darius shook his head griping at James. "James you are an idiot. How many times does a girl have to tell you no. I think you just get dumber every time she hits you."

Nikki was in her room throwing her boots off. She yanked her pants back off and put her shorts back on. She realized Kyle still had her coat. She opened the door and saw Kyle and she walked into his arms burying her head in his chest.

@Demonic angel@dabombjk

Camyllia kept her head down when Nikki told her she was going to have a 'talk' with her. Blitz rubs against Camyllia's leg trying to comfort her. She lets out a tired sigh before limping into the school she feels all her energy had been drained.Coming into the school she looks around trying to find a certain little boy.

"Camy!!"

Both heads snap up as Oppal came barreling into Camyllia. The teen hugged the boy tightly to her kissing the side of his head. Camyllia lets out a laugh."I'd knew you'd be okay! I knew you would!" He says pulling back letting girl sit up."Where's...oh, Camy you got hurt!" He says touching Camyllia's bruised face.

"It don' hurt to bad bud." Camyllia said standing.

"I can get Matt. He can help!" The boy offers as she stood.

"Nah. Right now I could go for a nap an' some food but I think that can wait." She says mostly to herself with another laugh.

"No! You were limping Camy!" Oppal says crossing his arms giving her the 'stubborn cute kid' look. Camyllia shakes her head.

"Alright, how 'bout this after I sleep I will see Matt." She compromise.

Oppal sighs nodding,"Okay. I can help you up the stairs." He offers as Camyllia tried to walk as if nothing was wrong with her leg.

"You're so sweet Oppal. But I gotta say no to that one too I can get up the stairs." She says before leaving the boy and dog alone to go up the stairs.

Oppal sighs wiping away a tear in his eye. A whimper made him look at Blitz and smile,"Lets go get you some food okay Blitz?" He said sounding happy.

The dog seemed to brighten at the thought of food and raced the little boy to the cafeteria to get some food.

Clara McGarth

A body thumped toward the floor as Clara pulled one of her knives out from the Walker's head. The house she had ducked into just added to her long list of dead ends and now the girl was becoming very irritating with the whole situation. Alex would know better than to go anywhere by himself or even think about leaving his family behind in a world such as this. The action wasn't in the guy's nature which could only mean one thing. Something had gone wrong. Her arm throbbed from pain and her legs felt heavy from exhaustion but still the young woman moved forward with the intention of finding the missing companion. Though she felt rather cheated from a reward.

The teenager walked back outside and sighed from frustration. ” What am I doing? All this trouble for a single boy. Ugh. Erin better never let Alex to after this or else I'll kill him.” she muttered. The darker half turned toward the north and slowly worked her way up killing any walkers that showed up to to try and eat the survivor as she walked. About two more cleared houses and more zombies killed Clara finally saw Alex walking up the street as if missing for a while was no big deal which ticked her off even more. ” There you are! What's the big deal with the disappearing act? Did you happen to grow tired of Erin and your siblings just to leave without so much of a word? Cause if you did there is going to be hell to pay because my sister has started to become a pain in mynass as everyone else's. So come home and fix it before I start kicking you around.” she said coldly.
@alexfangtalon

Kyle Hishamie

Kyle had tried to relax after the mission. It was very stressful and not at all what Kyle had imagined. Lots of bullshit talking, then lets of fighting. Kyle didn't want to fight humans. Walkers he could handle, but humans...Kyle liked to think he was a monster hunter of sorts. Notr eally a hunter but he could put down zombies, and he was good at doing it without guns. Kyle walked back to his new room and really took his first look at it. It wasn't that bad of a room, and safer then most places he spent the night in. Kyle wasn't sure if he was staying permantley but for now this place seemed like a safe enough spot for a bit. Kyle set his stuff down and changed from his dads jacket and flannel shirt, into a black t shirt and red unbuttoned collared shirt. He liked this outfit. He felt like a demon in it. Kyle realized he still had Nikkis trenchcoat so he grabbed it.

Kyle walked out of his room and around the corner just in time to see James thoroughly getting his ass handed to him. Kyle shook his and as he passed him left a tiny stink bomb for later in his pocket. Next tim ethere was any pressure James would smell it. The thought made Kyle smile. Kyle walked over to Nikkis room. He was about to knock when Nikki opened the door.

"Hey sweet thing I think you forgot your-,"Kyle began saying Nikki wrapped around him, burying her face in his chest."Hey its ok hun. whats wrong?"
Kyle wrapped his arm around Nikki. After a few moments Nikki still hadn't said anything. Kyle did what he thought was a good move next.

"Hey so what about our after mission tradition?"

Kyle dropped the trenchcoat, picked Nikki up, wrapped her legs around his waist, and began kissing Nikki passionately. Kyle waited to see if Nikki would respond positively as he kissed her, before deciding if he would walk into her room and shut the door. He didn't need to get his ass kicked too.
@wick

Nikki responded to his kisses with a hunger that she wasn't aware that she had. She kissed him and allowed nothing else into her mind. When he kicked the jacket inside and the door shut Nikki hugged him and when he sat down with her she leaned back on her bed and pulled him next to her. "Have you ever been at a point in your life where you are so lost as to where you are going that you just want to ....I don't know, sleep or cry or run away? I keep hoping that I'll wake up and it will all have been a nightmare." She pulled his arm around her and laid her head on his chest. "Like you. I barely know you and yet I feel better about you than I have anyone in a long time. I don't know what that means but it's good right?"

"You asked if James was my ex, no he just was a guy that I interacted with a lot who apparently thought he was going to make me be his girlfriend after Vincent left." Nikki ran her hand through her hair. "Vincent is a piece of work. We didn't like each other at first and we argued, a lot. As the days passed we started getting along until I found out he was a mobster before Hell Day." She was looking frustrated. "We were doing ok then Matt went a little nuts and kicked him out. I brought his sister and friend back in and he came back to see me. We agreed to try and make our brand new relationship work but the fact is just because the dead started walking does not mean that wasn't still a mobster underneath. I realized I was right when we argued about his sister. He and I broke up and he was kicked out of here.

Before that was Eric. He and i were together three days before he got his head blown off during our first real fight with another compound. Before him I was with Nolan. We were engaged and together for 5 years. He was bitten that first day. After all hell broke loose I found my best friend in her lingerie in our apartment, apparently she was the other woman. My love life is deadly to the other people involved. She looked at him and said. "If you want to turn and run the other way I understand." Nikki said softly, "....but I hope you will stay." She raised up on one arm and looked him in the eyes. "If you do run away just know I really appreciate the laughter that you have brought in the short time since you've been here. Nikki reached down and kissed him. She raised up in a hurry. "Oh crap! I forgot my beer! Come on!" Nikki slipped on her tennis shoes and tugged him out the door of her room to the kitchen and out into the Monster. She lifted herself over the side and said, "Come on up!" She opened another beer for him and handed it to him after he climbed over. She wrapped up in the blanket she had left there and when he sat down she smiled and stared at the moonlight.

@dabombjk

Kyle Hishamie

Kyle stared at the moonlight with Nikki, his arm around her. Kyle appreciated the beer, but only sipped it. Kyle wasnt much of a drinker. Kyle had found come cigs earlier and lit one. Kyle took a small drag and blew the smoke away from Nikki.

"Nikki...Ill stay. Ill stay here and ill stay with you. But honestly how long do you think this place can stay safe? We killed so many and hurt more. The walkers will never go away it seems, and so many people are willing to stab eatch other in the back. But ill be here, helping you however I can."

Kyle leaned in and kissed Nikki again.

Alex searched the police station pretty well before finally leaving. Pretty much cleaned out. These guys were thorough. It was starting to get late when Alex decided it was finally time to start heading back home, As he was walking down the street he saw a familiar figure and the voice made it obvious it was her. She started spouting out some nonsense. It actually annoyed him a little.

"Disappearing act? Sorry that a large group of people attacked me. I had no choice, but to let them capture me. They would have killed Camyllia and Robert if I didn't. Also, if you couldn't tell I'm pretty beat up here so being forced to walk all the way home is very difficult right now when I have to keep an eye out for people and Walkers."

@Demonic Angel

Oppal

Oppal sat on the stairs on his floor with a sleeping Blitz next to him as well as Camyllia's soft ball bat. His eyes were red from crying and his breathing was coming out in hiccups. He had woken up from a nightmare not to long ago and afraid of waking Camyllia he left the room with her bat to make sure there were no monsters. Blitz happily followed with the little boy he checked all over keeping quiet so the night watch would find him before going back up stairs. Now he was here staring at the stairs waiting for something to come and attack but it was silent.

Blitz soft whimper made the boy jump,"Jeez, Blitz don't do that!" Oppal says hugging the Rottweiler and kissing the top of her head. He giggles when the dog licked his cheek,"Love you too, Blitz." He said letting go and petting her head."Blitz, do you think its going to be okay?" He asked the dog. "I mean..How do I know that we'll be okay now? Or ever will be? Camy says Jenna and the others will protect me and you if she's not around but..." Oppal shifts in his spot."I don't think they give two flying hoots about a cry baby little boy. I wouldn't blame them, I surprised Camy stayed this long." Blitz whimpers sitting up and licking Oppals cheeks making him smirk."I'm not sad about it Blitz." He says bumping heads with the dog,"Just thinking." He says with a sigh then smiles,"I remember Cam's uncle telling me when this first started 'Don' think ya think ya die but ya act an' think ya live'," Oppal says mimicking the accent in a deep voice before giggling,"That sounded weird. But yeah..I guess Camy didn't listen to the think part this time." He looks at his door where wheezing snores came from.

"I love her like shes my sister Blitz. But she can act like such a dumby sometimes." Oppal says looking down,"I can't be angry at her though. I wish I could...I'm just glad she came back alive." He says tears coming to his eyes at the thought and Blitz whimpers as the boy started crying. The dog nuzzles his cheek before letting out a huff letting him hug her and stifle his crying and talking into her back. Blitz just watched around them to make sure no one came to hurt the boy or her or anyone in the hall.

Nikki returned his kisses and snuggled up to him. "I have no idea how long we can keep the school. I'm trying to take it one day at a time and prepare for the next disaster. Part of me says find your happiness and take it while you can get it because the next walker or human fight might be my last and the other side says. Since I was cheated on doesn't that mean my judgment is questionable and not slowing down might be a mistake." She looked up into the sky and sighed.

"Tell me something about you something you are passionate about."

@dabombjk

Clara Moon

” Who said you have to take care of me? I can take care of myself without your help. If you want to be that why I can gladly walk back without you.” Clara said as she noticed the sky darkening. This was the time when walkers were high and in charge which spelled doom for any travelers without shelter. Just like how they were without anything but weapons and opened area around them, this caused the darker half to frown. ” Best we get going. With any luck we will.” her words were cut off as shots rang out from the opposite direction. She grabbed Alex's hand and jerked him toward toward the house she had already cleared before shoving the guy inside and shutting the door.

The young woman ducked down low and stayed where she was, listening to shoes scuffling from close by, before a Walker's groan caught her attention. A jerk on her shoe told it's location so all she did was lower the knife right into the head. “ Vincent seems a bit cold to me Josh. That's all I'm saying. I mean possessive over the woman he loves who is being held captive by a man is fine. But being possessive over some half sister who is also being held captive is just plain out weird.” A man said out loud. “I'll admit it's a bit over the top but it's all we got to go by. Not to mention that he's been really kind to us.” The other said. The darker half shifted and placed her right arm to help steady herself, making sure not to put too much weight on it, while listening for them to walk by. “Are we leaving the truck?” “Yeah. It's for the boss's sister in case she escaped. The key is inside the glove department.” A wicked smile creeped across the young woman's lips as the two men walked away. She stood up and opened the door. ” I have us a ride home. Follow me.” Clara said. She turned around and lead the way towards the car.
