Jain had finally calmed herself down enough so Nina could understand what she was saying. "A rescuer? To come all the way to the dorm? You do know that's very dangerous, right? Because there's infected crazy things running around town." Jain said, holding the walkie-talkie up to her mouth. Of course she knows there's zombies running around town. She thought as she slammed the back of her hand on her forehead. Nina isn't stupid. "Are you coming, or is someone else? And if you could pack some food. Anything small. Nachos would be amazing..." Jain was getting carried away, but she didn't care. Talking to Nina meant that she would soon be out of here.
"Yes." Jain replied when Nina asked about the window. "It's the only exit out of here that I'm willing to take." She glanced at the door. The banging had stopped. I guess even zombies get tired of waiting around. Now that Amy was gone and Jain was relieved, she still felt incredibly lonely. "Honestly, I don't care what happens. Since it's a pretty far distance to cover, I'm willing to meet you halfway there. Just name the place." She was dying to get out of the dorm. Not only to see her friends, but because she had been drinking water non-stop. It was a nervous habit. "All I ask for is 2 things: One. That you bring anything so I can defend myself because by the time I get to the halfway point, I'll just have my axe left. And two: That you please hurry. I've been in here for a while. And I really have to pee."

[[It's cool. Just wanted to make sure. I don't even think Gothic-Kyo has even spoke to me yet. .__.''']]
Crimson nodded to Nina, too tired now to say anything more. She grabbed one of Thomas' sleeves and gently dragged him to the kitchen.
"So what do you want to cook now? I'm sure we can find something."
She started to rummage through the boxes and fridge.

Renshion never left the hall. He never managed to. He fell onto the ground as his muscles spasmed. This was his worst one yet. He couldn't scream, he couldn't say anything. He writhed on the floor, clutching his chest.
"Nina....." He whispered.... "Nina.....Nina...Nina.....Nina!" He screamed, losing consciousness.
Hmm.....once again, you pass out. You are weak. Nina won't come for you. She only wants Garath, and Crimson, only God knows who she likes. You are alone in this world, and no one likes you at all. You should just leave them all. You are the most hated person in this whole house. What have you done to help? Nothing. What have you accomplished here? You killed your mother....big whoop. What about your brother? Where is he? You couldn't wait for him either, could you? Too bad Reshion. Your whole family is dead, and with all of these spasms you are having............you most likely will die soon anyway. The disembodied voice said before leaving him in the darkness.
"Who will come for me? Who will save me?" Reshion thought, still in darkness.
"Nina....please."

"Roger. Meet us half way?" Nina said into the walkie-talkie. "That can work... Can you hold up until then? Like protect yourself? Over." Nina said letting go of the botton and walking towards the door. She was finally calm enough to use the device properly.
That's when Crimson dragged Thomas with her to the kitchen. When they reached the Kitchen Nina remembered something. "Crimson, Thomas, something easy you guys could make, but we won't be able to make when the electricity goes out or when the sauce or cheese expires in Spegetti... Or something pasta-ish like that." She said with a smile. "Or..." She shrugged, though the two couldn't see it. "You don't have to just a suggestion.
She walked down the hall towards her room to look at a map, when she saw Reshion spazzing on the floor. "Oh-!" Nina managed to let out in surprise as she bent next to him. I still don't know how to help with these muscle spasms... she thought helplessly. Everyone could now see Reshion through the open door of the Weapon's room. "Try to control your body... Calm your mind." She said as peacefully as she could. "Maybe that will work... Focus on one thought and make sure it's happy." She said the last part almost threateningly. She looked back to Terry, pleading with her eyes. "You're a medical specialist... Right?"
Instead of going to the map like she originally had planned Nina closed her eyes and thought about the closet thing she could think of from midway to her house. She pressed the botton on the walkie talkie and said, "Get to union square Jain... We'll meet you there." She said, losing the calmness to talk with rules on the walkie-talkie again. She looked from Reshion to Terry. "Sargent Phillips... Please take care of Reshion as fast as you can. We need to meet up with Jain." She said with a nod.

[[Sorry Crimson xD]]
Thomas was suprised when Crimson began to drag him to the kitchen, he was shocked and didn't react. He just followed Crimson. It was then Thomas heard Nina's suggestion, followed by Reshion's screaming.
Not again...
Thomas was about to offer his help when he heard Nina call for Phillips. So he just ignored it and wen't to the kitchen.
I guess I can make pasta. Something simple though, like spaghetti.
"Crimson, if you wan't to go help Reshion, I'll go ahead and get started on the pasta..."

"There's nothing I can do for Reshion."
Her answer came about a bit curtly, and she smoothed a hair through her wavy hair.
"That boy is too implusive. And I was a fool trying to help him."
Crimson didn't know why she was trying to explain, but hide her face, afraid he might see he blush.
Geez, why the hell am I blushing so much?
Then, another throb hit her, and she winced against the pain.
Great time for a ******** headache.
She grabbed the spagetti and pasta sauce from the pantry, and motioned for Thomas to grab the big pot. She wondered if there was any meat around, maybe she could make meatballs too.
"Can you get the water boiling?"

Crimsons somewhat cold words about Reshion caught him off guard, he thought they had a thing for eachother.
I guess I was wrong... I get really confused with these relationship things. But from what I've seen, until recently Crimson liked Reshion, and I think Garath likes Nina... I'll keep that in mind and try to stay out of the way...
Thomas started to boil the water.
To think, a couple hours ago this girl was holding a sword to my neck threatening me
Now we're making pasta together...
Thomas combed his hair back with his fingers so it wouldn't get in the way of cooking.
"So, what's the deal with you and Reshion? I've been kind of confused with your relationship with him. Do you like him as a friend? More than a friend..? Or do you not like him at all?"
It was a desperate attmept at small talk, but an attempt none the less.

"Well. I'm a sixteen year old girl who has seen a male body after being alone for a time. Basically, I just wanted a** at that moment."
After putting the sauce, she found a packet of ground beef in the fridge.
"Perfect."
Rummaging around some more, she found some spices, and started to season the beef. It was nice to work with her hands, to do something.
"So Thomas... I just wanted to say-"
She turned to him, looking him straight in the eye.
"How about we start over? I've been alone in this ******** up world so long, I forgot to turn off the badass button."
She smiled, and held out her hand, but realized it was covered in ground beef and seasoning. She grinned sheepishly, and held out her other hand.
"Hi, I'm Crimson."

Eri burst through the door of the gun shop and closed it behind her, a look of sheer terror on her face. She was soaked, because she was bathing when the zombies entered her college, and she had to dress without drying off. She had been lead to the shop by a gunshot that she heard. She had a red towel on her head, and she looked around curiously. She hadn't realized it, but she had ran a full mile. She sighed out of relief, but jumped and ran away when she heard the zombies scratching at the door. She had no idea what was going on! Her nailfile had blood on it. She had stabbed a zombie in the head on the way there. She was terrified. She looked at the people in the shop. "H...Hello..." She looked at Ada, then Nikita. They looked safe.... She stood up and walked over to them. "Are....Are you hiding from them too...?"

Ignoring her statement about Reshion, Thomas continued to listen to Crimson.
Well I guess there's no harm in starting over. She wasn't thinking right when we met today.
"My name is Thomas, I'm 15, I like video games, pizza, suits, a music. Mostly metal. I live mostly alone because my parents are always off getting drunk or are on vacation. They are in Florida right now so they're probably dead."
Thomas amazed himself.
Why is it so easy to accept my parents death? Why is it so easy to tell other people with a straight face...?
"I guess the reason it dosn't bother me that much is because.. well they never were parents. They would come home for a couple hours a day to sober up or sleep. Their idea of parenting was giving me 100$ a day to live off of. One time I actually walked out the door and told them I was going to a strip joint, and they just said "Be careful". I never actually went though."
Thomas shook Crimson's hand.
"So, what about your parents? Were they nice? Are they still alive?"

Terry nodded in agreement. "Sure..." he said crossing his arms in a comfortable position. I have a truck... Why not rescue a kid? he thought. I'll continue this mission afterwards. Might as well leave these kids in a positive situation. he added mentally. Plus... I could go for a hot meal right about now. He thought, thinking back to last time he had a good meal. He listened intently as Nina continued to plan.
Crimson and Thomas left to cook, leaving Garath, Nina, and Reshion upstairs with him. As Nina exited the room Terry saw Reshion on the ground. More muscle spasms no doubt. He looked down at his form to see if he had anything on him to help him. He patted his sides down and found what he was looking for. He yanked out a combat knife. Looking down at Nina, Terry handed the blade to her. "Ok... Here's what you have to do." He started instructing, coming down to a kneal next her. "Make the metal blade either really hot or really cold. It doesn't matter which. Make Reshion tell you were the muscular knot in his muscles are and apply to them. If you don't want to use this." he said shaking the knife once. "Find some other piece of metal."
He had heard what Nina had said earlier about meeting half way. As he left Nina with the knife in her hand Terry ran down the stairs to the first floor. He walked into the room with the computer and he quickly signed into the internet and mapquested New York University, Union Square, and the house they were in. Wow... This is half way...good guess Nina Terry mused as he write down the directions and such on a scrap piece of paper.
He got up from the computer and ran back upstairs to the group. "Alright... I'm leaving now." He said walking calmly past them to Nina's room. He unlocked the car and got in. "Jain... Another name with 'J'..." He mused, thinking back to his sons. After quickly slipping into his truck, he backed out of the melancholy alley way and onto the street. Pushing the stick into drive he cautiously drove toward Union Square, wary of attack from infected...

((Sigh. I'm never on when I can involve my self in something interesting.))
Garath blushed when she said he was her most favourite person right then. But before he could really respond the walkie talky had started talking. A new surivor? That would be great news. He listened quietly absorbing every thing. So it was Nina's frined. Doubly a reason to go and get her out of there. He was going to volenteer to go as well when it was decided Terry would go. Garath shrugged. Terry was better with weapons then him. He then heard Reshion haveing his muscle spasms. This time there was some one who knew what to do. Garath would have given him muscle relaxants but as Terry had said the hot or cold metal worked Garath wasn't going to argue. Garath ran down stairs and grabbed some ice and some metal spoons, and dashed back up with them. "Heres some ice to cool the metal with." As much as Garath dind't like Reshion he still wanted Reshion to be alright. Garath applied some of the ice he brought to one of the spoons to cool it as well.

"I have an axe and a shotgun with few shells. Over." Jain replied, laughing at how she was talking. It actually sounds like I'm badass. "But it should be enough to take me to the halfway point." Then she heard Nina say to meet her at Union Square. "That's a big no-no." She said frantically. "Union Square is always packed. And surrounded by subway stations. It's the perfect place for an ambush." That's probably one of the first places where the virus spread. There's always people stacked in there. Seriously a health hazard. She thought, laughing a little at herself. It's definitely a health hazard now. "Listen, I'll meet you on the corner of 5th Avenue and East 20th St. It's only 2 blocks away from Union Square but it should be calmer up there. I'm heading out now. Over and out." She said, then placed the walkie-talkie back on the desk.
Looks like I should pack the essentials. With that, she unzipped her school backpack and emptied it out on her bed. She ran to her drawer and started packing anything she could grab. Then she grabbed her 2 water bottles and put them into her backpack. When she was done packing, she grabbed her axe. A friend had given it to her a while back as a prank. "Who would think I would actually have to use this?" After she put it through her belt, she grabbed the shot gun, held it close to her chest, and headed to the window. She liften the panel all the way and put both of her legs through. She wiggled her feet around until she felt the ledge of the building, then pulled herself completely out of her dorm. I can't even see. How am I supposed to find them? She thought as she observed her surroundings. When she reached the end of the ledge, she jumped and she was supended in the air as if she was in slow motion. She felt the ground below her feet and quickly rolled so the impact of the fall wouldn't harm her. As soon as she stopped rolling, she got up into a crouch position with the shotgun held in front of her. I can't really see, but I don't think there's any of those things around. She thought as she began making her way through the darkness of 5th Avenue.

Nikita had reached the end of the stairs and walked to the front counter. "There's a box somewhere in here.." He said as he searched around the cash register. He had ordered one of his relatives to send him some night vision scopes and some holo sights just in case anything happened. I thought I put them around here. Maybe I put them on the other side. He thought as he made his way to the bullets. He was looking at the ammunition boxes in front of him when he heard the side door open. Immediately, impulses took over. He aimed at the zombie's head and threw the small box of bullets that he was holding in his hands. He then realized that it wasn't a zombie at all, but a girl. "WHAT THE F*CK!?" He shouted at her. He was completely caught off guard by this new chick. Coming to his senses, he began to "visually examine" the girl. She doesn't look like she was injured. But she's all wet. What the hell has she been doing? He raised his gun in front of him and aimed it at her chest. Then he heard her speak. With his gun still aimed at her, he asked. "Whasa going on?" Then he looked at Ada and shrieked. "I thought you locked that door! All this time, those zombies could've gotten in and we would've been dead!"
Ada had seen the girl running down the streets. "GET OUT OF HERE! WHAT THE HELL?! THEY'RE ALL AROUND YOU. HIDE!" She screamed as loud as she could. She probably can't even hear me cause of the music! She thought as she saw the girl disappear through the side of the building. Crap. This is going to cause trouble. Ada spun around and sprinted to the latch door. When she reached it, she had opened it with such force that it shook the roof. She ran down the stairs and saw the girl come in through the door. "What...?" She said as she saw Nikita throw a box, which opened on impact and spilled the bullets on the floor. When Nikita raised his gun at the new girl, she quickly pushed him aside. "I thought I did lock that door. We're fine. We're not dead. And stop shrieking like that. It's not helping." Ada heard her speak. "No, we're not hiding. We're trying to lure them over here so we can take them down easier, and buy people like you some time to escape." She said as she eyed the girl. This new girl was extremely sweaty. She's soaked. Sweating more than a fat man. Incredibly unhealthy. She thought as she took a bottle of water and gave it to the girl. "What's your name? Have you been infected?"

Reshion heard Nina's words and sat up, hit muscles slightly sore.
"Thanks." He said, wiping the blood from his mouth. He was bleeding from the forehead where he hit his head on the sword, and it matted his orange hair. "I don't know what it is. This just happens. I am sorry." He said, getting up. He leaned against the wall and pulled a bottle out of his pocket.
"I am no help to you. All I have done is caused an impression on you that isn't even me. I guess it's the fact that I have these spasms. Or the fact that I killed my mother. But...I dunno. This is really not me. I guess it's all the stress and s**t like that. I am attracted to you, and I guess by doing idoitic things that I would impress you. But....all I have done was ******** that up also. " He popped 2 pills and placed the bottle in his pocket. "I am running low. By the time I run out......I don't know what will happen. But I can leave if you want." He said listlessly. "Before I do, can I take a shower?"
His shirt was ripped, and he took it off right there. His muscles in his abs and his chest were defined. But Reshion kept them covered. He ran his fingers through his hair, amid the blood and awaited Nina's answer.
