chance sighed as he continued his search for piper. of course his father had noticed that the girl was missing again and sent him on his way to look for her. it wasn't an unusual task and happened anywhere from once a day to three times a day; usually after the third scolding she stopped for the day. but of course their was always the next day for her to go out and start the cycle over again. he just didn't understand what her deal was, why she couldn't stay inside the walls like everyone else. it was safe and plenty work to keep her busy. there were people their age so she could have plenty friends if she didn't act out constantly and put her life at risk by climbing the walls. hell, he might even be her friend if she just listened like the others.
he was snapped out of his thoughts when he spotted her, climbing back over the walls and into the safety of new hope. he tried his best to not let his jaw clench and fists tighten like they usually did as he marched over to her, an annoyed look plastered on his face. "piper." he managed to hiss out, not wanting to draw attention to the situation. the more people saw that someone was breaking the rules, the chances of them doing the same was increased. if everyone broke the rules then all the hard work that had been made towards making a safe place was for nothing, and everyones life would be put in danger once again. "i hope you really had fun with whatever you do out there today, because this is your last warning." they both knew it wasn't true, he had said that line nearly every day. "you can't keep breaking the rules, how many times do i have to tell you?"[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; color:#000; margin-left:-80px; font-size:8pt;]eskie ⌁[/fancypost]

my attention was snapped away from beth for a moment, my shaky hand taking a hold of hers as i looked over at violet. "no, no, no." i whispered, glancing between the two girls. they were going to die. i was going to be all alone. "c'mere." i managed to mumble out, tears already starting to make their way down my dirt and blood covered cheeks. i reached out my other arm, ready to wrap it around her when she got closer to me. the two people i was meant to protect, i had failed them. they were both going to die, and there was nothing i could do. nothing to slow the process, nothing to take away the pain of it. absolutely nothing. "both of you are strong and..." i trailed off, knowing my speech was a lie. no one could survive a bite. not even the strongest people. "i'm staying with you two." i whispered, pulling beth closer to me. "i'm not leaving you two, i'm not going anywhere. i promise." the least i could do is stay, even if it wasn't the smartest idea. i wasn't going to leave them here while they slowly died, and it wasn't exactly the safest idea to travel alone. so at least i could put that off for a bit for myself.

the second her heel came down, my eyes squeezed shut tightly and a hiss left my lips. "how are you so sure that we took your kid? i had no idea that you had a kid." i manged to mumble out, pain still throbbing in my foot. "and why did you have to take me? you think they see as much value in me as you do natasha?" i looked up at her, swallowing a lump in my throat. "why me of all people? you could've had yourself a pretty man with the title of leader, but you took someone they can easily replace." i laughed bitterly, trying to hide my pain. "so first off you got the wrong group of people, no one touched the kid. and secondly, you took the wrong person for ransom."[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; color:#000; margin-left:-80px; font-size:8pt;]eskie ⌁[/fancypost]

my attention had been fully on violet since the minute she made her way to my arms, beth had quickly passed and there was no use sobbing over her just yet while violet was still alive. the time for mourning would come in just moments, when violet joined beth. i listened to her words, my mind pleading her to finish what she was saying. but it had been too late, my soft cries turned into sobs. my body now rocked back and forth, the two girls still in my arms. i couldn't leave, not yet. i couldn't just leave their bodies here. i knew it was what everyone else did, but i couldn't. i swallowed down a lump in my throat, gently laying them on the ground. "what am i going to do?" i whispered to myself, looking around. i was totally alone. it was just me, and any lingering walkers that may be near.

i winced as a cut was made, watching blood drip down my cheek from the corner of my eye. "and why would he care about just another member so much?" i asked, eyes glued to the knife that dug into my chest, not hard enough to harm me, but yet i could still feel its sharp presence. "you know if you let me go, i could get your precious little girl back to you along with the money sooner than just holding me here. did you even let them know what you want and who you're holding for ransom yet?"[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; color:#000; margin-left:-80px; font-size:8pt;]eskie ⌁[/fancypost]

a soft gasp left harmony's lips at lewis' comment. she couldn't believe it, sure professor osborne wasn't the kindest person in the world; but he was certainly one of the best teachers she had ever had the chance to be taught by. her eyes widened at the mention of her name, her cheeks burning a bright pink at the professors instructions. there was no way she was going to say no, but she wasn't exactly happy about the idea of tutoring a student like lewis, a slytherin, one who had not even the simplest idea of how potions worked, and one who had enough courage to talk to a professor like that.
but before she could protest, the professor went on with his punishment and dismissed class all in one breath. she watched as her fellow pupils packed up and left the room silently, perhaps in shock over what just happened.
she slowly made her way over to the dark haired boy, arms wrapped tightly around the books she had pressed against her chest protectively. "it's lewis, right?" she asked softly, looking up at the taller boy. "i'm harmony and if there's any particular time you'd like to start today just let me know. and if you could let me know where most of your weakness lies, it would help both of us out a whole lot." she spoke softly but quickly, feeling her heart speed up with fear as she stood close to the slytherin boy.

chance was a bit taken back by how serious she had gotten, but had figured it was just another one of her pranks. "no, no, no. you are not bothering my dad with whatever silliness you have up inside your head." he sighed, crossing his arms. he glanced over at the wall where she was staring, the weird feeling of fear making his heart race. "b-but if it's really important, i can take a message."[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; color:#000; margin-left:-80px; font-size:8pt;]eskie ⌁[/fancypost]

the morning started off just like any other. waking up before the sun started to shine over the tops of the mountains in pain. legs burning from whatever activities he had done the night before, and new cuts that would surely turn into scars scattered across his pale skin. you would think that lucas would be used to it by now, but he surely wasn't. a soft groan escaped his lips as he threw the white sheets that he was tangled in off his body, letting his feet hit the cold, hardwood floor as he stood up. he made his way into his bathroom, stripping himself of his pajamas and hopping into the shower.

after a scolding hot shower of around fifteen minutes, he was out and dried off. he wrapped a fluffy white towel around his waist, heading over to the sink so he could brush his teeth. after spitting out the minty substance into the sink and rinsing his mouth out with the sickeningly green mouth wash his father had bought, he was rolling on deodorant and heading back into his room.

it didn't take him long to pick out his outfit, as it looked nearly the same every day. today consisted of a pair of slightly ripped denim skinny jeans, a red shirt, his leather jacket, and the white vans he had adored so much. he spritzed on some of his signature cologne, throwing his backpack over his shoulder and headed downstairs. he wasn't one to actually make his bed in the morning, he was far too exhausted to worry about it. and he had more of an excuse for being too tired to do it than most teenagers did, because most of them weren't fluffy balls of terror the minute the moon popped up in the sky.

as he made his way downstairs he was greeted by the sounds of his younger siblings fighting, and the slight sizzle of bacon. the smell of the cooking meat drew him into the kitchen, making him take his usual spot by the twins; emily and emma. he rolled his eyes as he finally realized what they were arguing about; who was the cutest member of whatever the most popular boy band was at the moment. what always baffled him was that they were having arguments that tween girls usually had, and they were only eight. "at least they're up to date with todays pop culture, unlike most people around here." he jokingly smiled at his father, who had rolled his eyes at the two girls.

just then, his mother was piling eggs and bacon onto all of their plates. it didn't take long for the family to scarf the food down, followed by their usual glass of orange juice. except for his father, he was more of a 'morning coffee guy'. "thanks for the breakfast, now we really have to go if we want to make it to school on time, let's go girls." he smiled as he gathered the plates off the table and sat them by the sink for his mother, waiting for the two girls to get their backpacks on. emma had a pink one and emily's was purple, just like everything they owned. he quickly ushered the two blonde eight year olds to his car and helped them buckle up, before backing up out of the drive way and making his way to the elementary school.

after dropping the two girls off at school, he made his way over to the high school. after parking his car in the usual spot, he made his way to his first class; mr. kendricks history class. after taking his seat near the back, he was snapped away from his doodling on the desk when a voice he never heard before filled the room.

he looked up to see a female, who must've been the new student they were expecting. he smiled lightly at the teacher as he directed her to sit by him, drawing his attention back to the picture of the cartoonish dog he was doodling onto the desk. but yet again, he was snapped away from it due to the voice.

he glanced over at her, nearly laughing at how nervous she looked. there was no reason to be nervous in a town like this, sure it was small and everyone knew everyone, but pretty much every resident was kind and really didn't care what their neighbor was like. so you could be a total weirdo and no one would really give you a second glance, but it looked as if no one gave the poor girl a memo.

"hi." he mumbled in reply, glancing up to the front of the class as mr. kendrick began to drone on about the days lesson. "abeque, was it?" he asked, nose scrunching up slightly at the new name. "i'm lucas, but i usually go by luke." he smiled softly, hoping to give her some sort of comfort. sure, he wasn't jumping at the idea of being her friend. but he didn't want her thinking everyone here was hostile.

fear ran through chance at the thought of the creators getting any more dangerous than they were. but he was snapped away from that feeling as she began to climb the wall again. "are you crazy? if they're getting worse you don't go out there! and do you even know that we have rules? no one is allowed out there, especially the leaders son. do you know how much that'll upset my dad?" he sighed, but seeing that she didn't seem to care; he followed. "if anyone asks, you took my knife and i was chasing after you for it."[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; color:#000; margin-left:-80px; font-size:8pt;]eskie ⌁[/fancypost]

i looked down nervously at the knife, letting out a nervous laugh. "well then i suppose i should just sit right here then, because the second i'm free i'm never looking back." i admitted, a bit scared of her now. there wasn't much i could do whilst tied up and having a knife drug across my body. "just let my leader know about the deal and i'm sure you'll have your kid back as long as you promise to give me back at the same time. surely the money will follow soon after."[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; color:#000; margin-left:-80px; font-size:8pt;]eskie ⌁[/fancypost]

my eyes widened as i saw violet move, a soft gasp escaping my mouth as we both exchanged a confused and terrified look. "i... you should be dead vi." i mumbled softly, glancing around. "call me crazy violet, but i don't think you're like everyone else." i pulled her wrist over to my chest, looking at the already fading mark. "what if you're like immune or something? that's the only explanation i can come up with anyways."[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; color:#000; margin-left:-80px; font-size:8pt;]eskie ⌁[/fancypost]
