Max blinked at her ,''Oh yeah, I'm fine...'' he said as he pulled the hood of his jacket over his head ,''just fine...''
(He's talking about his old house and here's what it looks like
)

Max got to his feet ,''I'll show you where the place is'' he said as he shook the grass out of his hair.
Max smiled faintly ,''yeah... let's go'' he said in a quiet voice before he them nto the woods. He led them for what seemed like forever until Max stopped, he looked up at a tree limb that had a rag tied to it. ''We're getting close'' he said as he continued on, looking up the tree branches for any other rags that were tied to them.
Ooc: accepted, btw everyone has escaped so you can start somewhere in the woods if you want. :)
Max glanced back at her before turning his focus back to the trail of rags, after hours of hiking through the forest they reached what seemed to be an old, worn down house. ''Here we are...'' Max said as he went over to the house's front porch, seeming to drag his feet a little.
''This is my old house'' he said as he went over to the front door (luckily it was unlocked), the door creaked as he opened it and stepped aside for her and everyone else to enter ,''Make yourself at home.''
The was messy with broken beer bottles, cigarette butts, and crushed cans scattered about the floor, along with some broken pieces of furniture and some graffiti spray-painted over the chipping walls. ''Huh... looks like some teenagers must of gotten in here...'' Max murmured as he reluctantly stepped into the home.
Okay, Max thought to her as he tried to relax and keep still for her ,Go ahead.
Max nodded before he went around the house and looked around, each corner was filled with bittersweet memories. He frowned as he looked at the walls and came across a dust-covered picture frame, Max took the frame from off the wall and cleaned off the dust with the sleeve of his jacket. It was a family photo of his parents who had obvilously faked smiles spread across their faces, while Max... he wasn't smiling at all.
Max lifted his axe slightly and narrowed his eye at Damien ,''And who would you be?..." he said in a low tone.
Max looked up at Aaron and Sara ,''Should we?..." he asked
Max relaxed and went over to Damien and smiled brightly ,''I'm Max!'' he chirped, grabbing Damien's other hand and shaking it for a few seconds before letting go. Max backed away and turned to Aaron, he nodded and said quietly ,''Okay.''
Max studied Damien's face with his one eye, he lowered his axe although his grasp was still tight around it ,If tries to hurt someone..., he thought to himself, He'll regret it for the rest of his life.... Max then left the room and went upstairs, hopefully the teenagers didn't wreck his room as much as the rest of the house.
Max opened the door to his old bedroom, the hinges creaked in protest as the door swung open slowly. Max stepped into the room that mostly except for an old mattress with the blankets and pillow missing and some faded, torn posters tacked to the wall. Max closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as painful memories began to flood his head, overwhelming him.
Not being able to stand one more second in the room he had once called is own, Max backed out of the bedroom and slammed the door close, there was just too many negative feelings in that room. Max rushed downstairs but slowed down when he saw everyone, he went to the kitchen where Aaron was and said ,''I was thinking about going to the town and getting some food and stuff from the convenience store, do you want to come with me?'' Max seemed in a hurry, as if he was eager to leave the house.
Max nodded ,''Yeah just follow me'' he said as he walked out after Aaron and hopped down the porch stairs.
Jack narrowed his eyes at the two people who had jumped in front of Zermeria and him ,Funny of that girl to say that when one of us doesn't even sleep... He gritted his teeth, wishing that it was him in front of Zermeria instead of the other way around so he could protect her in case these strangers were bad news.
Jack put down his half of Ghoule as well and went over to Zermeria's side, he curled his hand into fists.
Max began to walk off into the forest but kept at a pace so Aaron could catch up to him,''There's a convenience store towards the outer parts of the town, we can get food, medicine, and whatever else we need there'' he explained.
Max narrowed his eye as he saw the lights of some street lamps come into view, followed by a large sign that was lit up in red letters that read 'Convenience Store: Open 24 Hrs. ''We're here'' he said as they broke through the trees and were standing on the edge of a small parking lot.
