Well I have no time to reply and I did it kinda like a book mark.

Like a "Hey you blonde idiot! You stopped reading right here! Now get over your lazyness and reply!"

You know as good as me that we aren't like that...

IC: Nicholas just nodded and waited for Winter and Alicia to make the first move. He had no idea where the barn was after all. "Let's just hope it's safe..."

Benjamin looked up. "I know that... But at least we aren't by ourselves anymore. I guess we could take each others back", he replied with a soft smile. He wondered what had happened to her, but then he thought she'd probably complain about how all had happened and he hated that as he had no idea what his own history was. "So... What's your name?" he then asked.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px][size=8][color=black]"I," Kaylee said, "am Kaylee. And you are?" She mused, picked up the seats and trying to lodge something under the half-broken leg so it would be stable. She yawned, feeling exhausted and sad.

"Piggyback! Piggyback!" was Amon's reaction to this. You could never be sure that he wanted a piggyback because it was fun, or because he needed one. It was pretty unlikely that a five year old couldn't walk three miles without collapsing or at least whining with the effort. Although, getting on someone else's back wouldn't be much fun either.

Winter rolled her eyes. "I don't care. But we need to move and get there before it gets dark. Does anyone have any food?" It would be a good idea to collect some food before they left - in Winter's opinion, anyway. The house's around them could easily store some untouched food, hopefully, and a barn would be pretty isolated and have not much to eat. However it would probably be large and well sheltered from the rain, and warm with hay.

Despite the depressing mood, Alicia chuckled at Amon. "Anybody want to do the honors?" she asked. She then looked at Winter. "Yeah, food will be good to find." she agreed. She stuck her hammer in her pocket, though most of it stuck out, it was the best place for it. She motioned with her arm, meaning,
"Come on people, let's go get some food in those houses.". She started in the direction of them.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px][size=8][color=black]Winter, reluctant to give anyone a piggyback, was the fastest to escape the scene as she went to explore the broken down house, her axe in her hand. Her knuckles had turned white as she had gripped on so hard. "Food, food - where you?" she saw an apple, but then seeing a greenish and purplish tinge to it, she left it alone and went to explore elsewhere.

Nicholas watched Winter leave and rolled his eyes before grabbing Amon under the arms and placing him on his shoulders. Using one hand to keep the guy in balance and the other to hold his stick he walked towards the direction Alicia had pointed too. He'd be the slowest of the group so he could as well start walking already.

"Benjamin... or Ben", the teen replied with a soft voice. He saw Kaylee was tired and decided not to say anything else and soon, he fell asleep, his knife next to him.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px][size=8][color=black]Kaylee also found a comfortable spot to lie down, using her jumper as a pillow. Almost immediately as she closed her eyes, she found that she already drifted off into sleep. Luckily, she was a quiet sleeper that night and no soft snored came from her.

Amon giggled quietly, wrapping arms loosely around Nicholas's neck. He remembered doing this to Ella...where was she, with Bridey and Nell and Timmy, and their parents? His heart ached for them.

Nicholas kept walking, trying to keep the boy in balance. Using his stick to keep balance as well, he succeeds at walking through the streets at a pretty good pace. After a while, he looked around, searching for the barn. His eyes flicked around the streets as he reached the edge of the city. "Now... Where is it? And where are the others?"

[fancypost borderwidth=0px][size=8][color=black]Amon still had his small arms wrapped around Nicholas's neck. He stared around, a lump growing in his throat as he stared at the destruction surrounding him. His eyes widened.

Alicia ventured forward, pushing open the screen door to a wrecked little cottage. The inside smelled like rotten fish and the furniture was misplaced and destoryed. She made her way to the kitchen, and into the pantry. Only three cans of vegetables had survived. A pack of water bottles lay at her right, half of them missing. She greedily snuck them all into her arms as she made her way back to the group.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px][size=8][color=black]Gwen went into another house. Just staring at the destruction the bomb had caused brought bad memories spinning back. The furniture was upturned, and worse, a family of three was dead on the couches. A mother, a little boy Amon's age, and a girl who looked just a year older. Blood splattered the walls. Gwen spun around and stormed out. She wasn't going to find anything in there.

OOc: Aren't you Winter?

IC: Benjamin stirred a bit as he woke up. He heard something outside and slowly stood up. He grabbed his knife from the ground and moved it a bit in his hand, nervous. "What's that...?" he muttered softly as he walked towards the door. He glanced towards the sleeping Kaylee but left her there, he didn't want to wake someone for no reason...

Nicholas placed his stick on the ground and waited for Winder and Alicia to join him. If you carried it long enough, a five year old was the same as an elephant...

[fancypost borderwidth=0px][size=8][color=black]OOC || Oh, my bad.

IC || Kaylee was half-awake, her eyelids opened slightly, but then she slipped back off into dreams. "The rock needs my help..." she muttered sleepily.

Ben looked towards Kaylee with a tilted head. "What...?" he muttered but he turned his attention back to the door. It sounded as if something was banging on the door, be it lightly. He slowly opened it and lifted his knofe so he could react as fast as possible. Soon, a green vine pulled the whole door open. "Waaah!!" the teen exclaimed as he fell backwards, surprised.

Nicholas was tired of waiting and entered the barn, almost bumping into Bailey. Using allof his power, he managed to keep Amon on his shoulders as he stumbled a bit. He tilted his head, questioning. "More survivors?" He still used his stick to keep his balance.
