Okay so I'm having some trouble writing this part because of conflicting timeline but who do you guys want to see? Like I've been writing the same people over and over and I think ti's time for a variety. What do you guys think?

Matt was up to no good, you knew he had no intent on finding his "family". You had Kara alone but you didn't know how to tell her or if you should.
"Hey uh.." You stop talking and she gives you a questioning look. You think of something else to say. "Why aren't you crying for Nina?"
She shrugs "That would be like mourning for every person who died before her. You win some but you eventually lose it and yeah, it hurts but there's no way to stop it. I can't go back in time and take the bullet for her and I can't go forward in time to figure out what's going to happen next, I can only worry about the present and those who are still alive." Everything goes quiet after she finishes talking except the occasional rustle of the leaves.
"But I mean she was your sister. I would be upset if I had a sister and she died." Being an only child meant you had less experiences to help others cope with sibling problems.
"I am upset but she wouldn't want me to be so I act like I'm not." Things for her were always an act. She was never open with her feelings and this would probably be the only time you could talk to her about them and she'd give you a serious answer.
"And what about if someone else goes? Like Fox or Willy? Would you cry or feel upset?" Well of course she would but now that you got the conversation started, it was too late to end it.
"Of course I would for both of them. I think of Willy as a brother or a son and it would fucking suck to lose him and Fox is the only reason I have to live. He forgave me for what I did." What she did? Oh yeah, the fire.
"Why wouldn't he forgive you? I mean you were sent by someone, it's not like you had a choice in the matter. You didn't have a choice, right?" You give her a look of concern.
She chuckles slightly. "Of course I did. It was either burn down the building or die, I'm sorry that I actually valued my life at a time."
"Valued?" You pick up the speed of walking. "So you don't value your life anymore? Why do you stick around anymore?" It wasn't hard to offend her but apparently this topic of conversation was fine.
She puts her hands in her pocket "Once people start dying it becomes.. hard to value your life." She had a point. You only lost your mother but even that was hard. She lost her mother, father, and sister in the span of two months.
"We should probably be going back, right? Maybe they got everything handled back there." She nods in agreement and the two of you turn back around and continue your path back to where you came from.
Katherine
[Get the gun]
You decide to stop walking ahead and go get the gun before you go anywhere. It would be stupid to go without it.
You wait for Emery and Amario to leave your view and run back for the gun. "It's pretty dumb to return to the scene of the crime. especially when the group members are out and about." You look up and a see a tall man, looking like he came from the army.
You stop going for the gun and watch as he picks it up before you do. "Who are you?" You slowly back away from him.
"The name's Matt and there's no reason to be afraid. You see, I was sent here to bring these people down. A former member wants back what they took from him, even though he didn't tell me what they took." He hands you the gun. "And of the people you could have shot, you shoot her? Really?"
How did he know you shot her? "Shot who? I don't know what you're talking about..." You scratch the back of your neck, trying to not look guilty, even though Amario shot the girl in the first place.
"Don't try and play stupid. I guess it just so happens that Nina was shot and you just show up with a gun. I know you have something against these people and so do I. So, what's your name?" I guess the not guilty head scratch didn't work, but then again it never really does.
"Katherine. I don't have anything against these people, the people I was with did but we kind of had a falling out and we split up." You couldn't think of a better way to describe the past two minutes of your life any better.
"Well, Katherine. How about you and I work together to bring these people down? Treat them the way they treated us?" Us? What did he mean?
"What do you mean by treated us? I just now met you and they treated me fine until Emery started stuff and then I got into a fight with one of their people and got her bitten." No matter how hard you tried, you couldn't forget getting the girl bitten.
"Just answer my question. Will you help me or not?" You had just met this man, he was already asking you to kill people and to help him hurt others but you had no idea what he was capable of if you said no.
"I'll help you." or "Stay away from me."
AC
Everything went from good to a lot better once James had told you how he really felt. Though you couldn't help but feel that Sylvester had helped him find the courage to do it. Maybe you were just being paranoid.
Whatever the case may be, the both of you were happy in a gloomy world. Vanessa and Kylie were reunited, Sylvester and the man got along fairly well and the kids were pretty cool with each other since they've known each for quite a bit now.
You never thought that at a time like this, when the entire world was dead, that you would ever find someone you could get along with and start to have feelings for but no one could predict the future.
Even though you knew there were people alive you still wanted to find others. You wanted to bring it up to the group but you didn't know how.
Maybe that night you could get the group together and bring it up to them when they were all in the same place.
It would be best to try and get the man and Sylvester to come first. If you didn't catch them while they were in a good mood then you would never catch them again. You go over to where the two men are sitting and sit across from them. "I'm not going to take all of your time but tonight before you guys go to bed I need to talk with you both and the rest of the group."
You stand up and leave, hoping they'll show tonight. Next it would be wise to get Vanessa and Kylie before they made promises with the kids for the night.
You call the two women over to you and sit down. "Do you guys have time to talk with the group tonight? I've got something to say and I think it would be better said with everyone together." The two nod and go tend to the kids.
Now all that was left was James, that should be no problem. He seemed to be bored out of his mind when he wasn't searching for Vanessa or hanging around you.
You call out to James, unwilling to move. He knows you wouldn't get up so he comes over to you. "Okay so I talked to everyone else in the group and we're going to have a little chat tonight, all of us. The kids will go to bed and we'll talk before everyone else goes to bed." He nods, proving that he understands. "But I want to talk to you about it now." He sits down next to you. You pull your legs up to your chest and lean your head on his chest. "We know there are other groups out there, right?"
You look up at him, waiting for an answer. "I guess so, yeah."
"So why don't we try and find them? Those other groups can use some extra people and we could be those extra people, right?"
James shrugs. "I'm not sure. Emery has taught me one thing and that is to not trust others. It was hard to trust Kylie, I mean she could have been lying but I trusted her because you did."
"Maybe you're right, I mean I just want to get out there and meet people, find others who are like us but I never considered anyone to be untrustworthy." You sigh.
"Look, whatever you decide I'll go along with you." James smiles and you kiss his cheek.
"Thank you for sticking with me." You run off and end up climbing a tree, trying to find your peace to make the decision if you want to meet any other people or not. Things could change majorly but now that you knew James was with you every second of the way, that somewhat relieved you.
[James is right] or [Find other groups]
(In a few minutes I am going to post something special and see if it works out, if it doesn't I will drop it and never try it again because it was a failure and it needs to be sad and alone forever but if it works I will keep it up. I'll describe it when I post it though.)
P.S. I just wanted to thank any one who is reading this because when I first started this story I felt that it wasn't going to go very far but here I am 3 months and 19 days later and I've already written over 70 parts. This story has grown on me and it has quickly become a daily routine to write a little bit before bed. This story wouldn't be possible if not for the people who read it, I'm just here to put the characters in direction but the rest is up to you. So thank you so much for your constant support Just felt like putting that out there.
And thank you for writing the story. This is my favorite fan fiction that I'm currently following, and I hope it continues. It's been great so far, and I hope it continues! The AliveJames moments were great, and I wish I had more time in the past to focus more on reading this. You(and Fluefeed ) have definitely improved over the past, and the choices have a pretty big affect on the story. I always look forward to coming onto this thread, and my heart skips a beat when I see this thread has a new comment. Thanks so much!

Matt was up to no good, you knew he had no intent on finding his "family". You had Kara alone but you didn't know how to tell her or … moreif you should.

You slowly open your eyes, letting out a soft yawn. You look over at your buzzing alarm clock and the soft yawn turns into a loud gro… morean.
You get up, slam the alarm clock, and throw on your school clothes on. You walk into the kitchen where you would usually find your mom making breakfast.
"Good morning, mom." You say in a groggy tone
You don't get a response. Looking up at the stove you realize that she wasn't there to begin with.
You walk over to her bedroom and look inside. You see her necklace, her hairspray, her makeup, but not her.
You sigh and grab some toaster pastries, throwing them in your school bag as you go.
Gia
You begin your walk to school. As you walk out of your front door you hear police sirens blaring and people screaming. You begin to get a little nervous. Your phone starts ringing and you slowly take it out of your pocket. You look at the caller ID and sigh in relief.

(Here's the deal, what I am going to do is write the outcome for a choice but I will not be writing the full part and I'm just doing this for fun but here we go)
You bolt through the tree line, stumbling on any rock that lies on the moist ground below your feet.
You don't know how far you got from him but the farther the better.
You turn your head to look back. You hear the crash of thunder and your muscles stiffen up, you turn back to face the front and see three lurkers. You have nothing to defend yourself with.
You start to back away from the lurkers, you trip over a tree root. As the lurkers get closer you back away, your hands slipping in the mud.
One of the lurkers topples on top of you, you feel as if it was all over but you still fight it. You stop fighting and let go, the lurker is about to bite you as a sword digs into the lurker's head.
The person kicks the body off of you and holds a hand out, you take their hand, you feel leather gloves as they pull you up. They grab your wrist and start running.
They take you to a sturdy brick home where you see two other women sitting down, one is stretched out on the couch and the other is sitting in a chair, they jump up.
The person slams the door once you go in. "Who are you people? Why am I here?" The woman takes her hood off to reveal long, beautiful dark brown hair.

The person slams the door once you go in. "Who are you people? Why am I here?" The woman takes her hood off to reveal long, beautiful dark brown hair.
The woman who looked the to be the second eldest stands up. "The real question is who are you?" The woman squints her eyes, staring you down, judging your every move harshly.
"Rosie, give her a break. She fell and I helped her up, it's not a big deal." The woman puts her hood on a hook as if the world wasn't in the midst of being destroyed.
"It is a big deal, Snick. We don't know this girl and she could be a danger to us!" As the woman raises her voice a boy who looks to be 15 comes downstairs. "Steve, shut the fuck up."
"I didn't even say anything!" The boy looks at the woman, not looking too offended.
"Why did you think it was a good idea to bring her here, Snick?" The woman still seemed sour about the "Snick" person bringing you around.
"I just had a good feeling about her, okay?!" Snick realizes she hadn't let go of your wrist, she slyly releases your wrist.
"If you don't want to keep her, at least let her tell her story, have a meal, and get some sleep." The boy looks over at you with concern. "Who knows what she's been through..."
"Sirena, do we have enough for her to eat?" Snick looks over at the woman who had sat back down on the couch and was looking through a magazine.
The woman stands up and walks into the kitchen. She returns and looks down sadly "No, I only made enough for us."
You look over at Snick "She can have my food, I can go one day without eating." She gives you a soft smile and escorts you to the kitchen.
She holds out a chair for you and pulls a stool up to the table and sits next to you. "So what is your name?"
The woman who you could assume was Sirena hands you a bowl with chicken noodle soup in it. "My name is Sam." Everyone sits down and begins eating, everyone except for Snick, who listens to what you have to say very attentively.
You take a spoonful of the soup and quickly determine that it is the best thing you've had in months. "I was with my sister, Maggie, we got separated about three days ago and I eventually ended up here."
Sirena frowns a little and sways her spoon in her soup. "Aw damn dude, that sucks. It's hard losing someone." Everyone in this room probably lost someone at sometime or another.
After that the table got quiet, except for Steve's occasional cough. After everyone finishes they all stand up and start going up stairs.
You remain in the kitchen. Snick notices your confusion. "You going to sleep?"
"I would but I don't really know where to go..." Sirena glances you while putting the dishes away.
"I can show you." Snick leads you upstairs. Rosie and Steve were already fast asleep. "We only have four beds but you can bunk with me. I'll take the floor." Snick shows you to the last door on the right side of the hall. "Rosie is in the room next to us, Steve is across from her, and Sirena is across from us." Snick looks through the little closet. "I'm going to go into Sirena's bathroom and change, I'll be back."
You sit on the neatly made bed and look around the room, the floor was spotless and anything that needed to be hung up was hung up in a neat order. It seemed so plain but at least there was a window. You put your elbow on the window sill and watch as the rain drops fall into the pipe that was on the side of the house.
Snick returns after a few minutes, dressed in a tank top and short shorts with her leather gloves still on. She locks the door and waits for you to move from the window so she can shut the curtains. "Rosie doesn't like the windows being open or the door being unlocked.
She makes a pallet on the floor, taking a blanket and a pillow from the closet. She places the sword that she used to save you, which was now all nice and clean, next to her spot on the floor. "I know Rosie seemed a little tense about having you around but we're all glad to have you here and maybe you could stay with us if the storm stops tomorrow."
"I hope I can stay... Would Rosie be okay with me staying?" You go under the covers of the bed and crawl into a fetal position.
"Rosie will be chill with it, if you prove yourself to be trustworthy, just give her some time." Snick yawns and faces the wall. "Goodnight, Sammie."
"Sammie? Oh no, it's just Sam." Why was she calling you Sammie? "Goodnight, Snick." You face your wall and slowly drift off to sleep.
SnickTwo months, four days(Special Thanks to Snickety for the idea for this part)
It was early and the rain was still pouring down, Sirena was making breakfast while Steve was looking over the weapons to make sure they were still of use, Sam was still in bed despite all of the people stomping around and crashes of thunder.
You sit outside and keep watch, just like you did every morning. Rosie would usually be helping Steve by taking the weapons that weren't of use and attempting to fix it.
The front door opens and Rosie slips out, quietly shutting the door behind her. "Snick, I know it's probably bad timing but I just need you to please tell me why you wanted to bring Sam around here. I hope you remembered what happened with her..."
"You don't need to call her a her, her name is Amy. She was our friend but what she wanted and what she didn't have took over and led us to where we are now. We don't know why Sam was out there and she probably doesn't want us to know and we want her to keep that peace of mind, don't we?" Rosie was open-minded but she would not the slightest insult past her, she would take it personally, even if you didn't mean it.
"And remind me whose side Amy was really on?" Rosie sits down next to you. "Listen, I'm sorry, Snick. I just don't want anyone to get hurt. I don't know what I would do if any of you got hurt."
You look at Rosie. "But what if it was Sammie in trouble? I bet you would let her get hurt, wouldn't you Rosie?"
Rosie stands back up. "I'm not going to take this from you, come talk to me when you don't want to doubt me." Rosie goes back inside and slams the door behind her.
After about two minutes sitting out there alone you realize that you needed someone to talk to and you needed to tell Rosie how you really felt about Sammie. You peak your head into the front door and see her looking over the weapons with Steve. You shift your eyes and look for Sammie. "Pst, Rosie!"
You catch Rosie's attention and she goes out with you. "I'm going to be honest with you. We both know the reason Amy did what she did."
Rosie nods in understanding. "But what if it wasn't Sam who was out there? What if it was Amy herself or some complete stranger? Would you have helped them?"
"Well of course I would have-" She cuts you off.
"There's a fine line between being helpful and putting yourself in danger and I don't want to see you cross that line." Rosie hated taking charge, she wanted things to be diplomatic if anything.
"One more thing-" You get cut off by a man's voice coming from the woods and a gunshot.
Steve comes running out, along with Sirena. "What the fuck it going on?"
"We don't know..." Rosie raises her gun, Steve raises his also.
"Rosie, go check." or "Steve, go check."
Katherine
"Stay away from me."
"No offense but I just met you and I don't think I want to join another psychopath and wants to kill people." You begin to walk away from Matt.
He charges at you and grabs you by the neck, pinning you against the tree. "I guess you don't understand me.. It was hardly an offer but more of an order so let's try this again, shall we?" He lets go of you and you fall to your knees, trying to catch your breath. "Will you help me bring these people down?" You nod frantically, unable to talk.
"Good deal. Now I set a fire in there and most of the people who are of use are out there, the kids, a mute guy, and a few untrusted people who are sleeping inside. One of the people who left has started a fire before so I'm hoping they blame her but if they don't then they'll blame one of the new people." Matt looks back at the barn. "It's only a matter of time before they notice it and they're pretty fucking stupid to have not noticed this far but now there's no stopping it."
You look on as one person leaves the barn and approaches the group who were outside in a panic, the people who were outside goes inside and doesn't leave until the barn start collapsing but even then you don't see everyone of the people you saw before. You felt bad for just watching it. "You said they had kids? How old?"
"The oldest was fourteen, the youngest only a month old." This man was crazy. Burning babies was never okay.
"A month old?!" You jump up. "How are they going to get out?!"
"I'm sure those people got the babies out fine, Princess. Don't go getting soft on me, Katherine." Getting soft on him? This was insane.
"I was never with you to begin with." You leave the bushes and start going towards the barn. He pulls you back and pins you down, covering your mouth, and putting a knife to your throat.
You could see the crazy in his eyes. "You aren't leaving me just yet, Katherine." His eyes shift to see two women walking towards the edge.
One of the women drops her gun and puts her hands over her face. "This can't be happening, Kara this can't be happening." The other woman looked vaguely familiar, you only remember her because of Emery pressuring you to kill her.
Matt lets go of you, you quickly sit up. He slowly makes his way towards the women, with your gun in hand. He takes the butt of the gun and hits the auburn haired woman in the back of the head. The other woman catches her and backs away from Matt. "Please don't do this!"
"Then if you don't want anything to happen to me then you need to come with me, do you understand?" The girl nods and wraps her friends arm around her shoulder. "Oh and if you try to use those bullshit ninja moves you'll both end up dead. Just a warning."
You see a little boy witnessing the whole event. You stand up and look directly at him and he looks directly at you. "Run, now." You say it in a loud enough voice that he will hear but Matt won't hear.
Matt looks over and notices the boy running away. "DAMMIT! KATHERINE CATCH HIM!" You don't move but Matt takes off in an effort to catch him, quickly failing. "Whatever. These two will have to do. Matt grabs the auburn haired girl and you take the other by the wrist.
This was how things were going to be now, there was no turning back.
(Sorry that this part was kind of short but now a very special Snickety has joined in as a writer and that might bring along more parts, it might not but she is there so I am attempting to fill her in on the story. She will mainly be working with Snick's group since she is Snick and she knows the other people better than I do. We'll still work together most of the time though.)

You, Sirena, Rosie, and Steve stare out to the sound of where the gunshot came from.
"Steve, go check it out." Steve gives you a dirty look.
"I'm sorry, I thought I was a bad detective and I should never try and be like the only person
I've looked up to since I was six." That was three years ago, how could he remember that?
"Steve, I said that three years ago. There's a time to hold grudges but it is not right now." Sammie walks out of the house.
"Hey, we asked the same question. Simply amazing." Sirena couldn't help what she said most of the time, even if it was hardly the appropriate time to say what she said.
Steve rolls his eyes. "Fine, I'll be the man and prove to you that there is probably nothing to be afraid of."
As Steve walks off the deck Sammie gets extremely nervous. "Steve's right, it's probably nothing and he'll be back." Rosie and Sirena agree that he'll be fine and go back inside.
As Steve approaches the trees another shot is fired, he hits the ground. Sammie turns around and calls for Sirena and Rosie to back out. You take off in a run to reach Steve.
As he lie down on the dead leaves and moist soil I crouch besides him. His face is pale as porcelain and his lips quiver as I rest my hand on his head. "now's a good chance" I whisper to myself. I confess to the reason his father had died and who the serial killer was. My voice was shaky. His eyes widened. He lets out a choked cry and raises the gun still in his hand. I accept my fate if it is to die here. I close my eyes slowly and wait for the blow. It never comes.
You turn to see Sammie looking on, Rosie and Sirena come out and look on in horror as you put a bullet in Steve's head. You go back inside and sit at the table while everyone else eats, you couldn't eat after what you had to do.
It hurt you to see Steve's spot empty. Why didn't you just go yourself? Why did you make him go? "So, Snick, why did he aim his gun at you?" Sammie puts her spoon down and looks at you.
"I-" You get cut off by a knock at the door. The lurkers weren't as so polite as to knock, so who was it? You get up to answer the door, Sammie follows you into the living room.
You open the door and see a fairly fit man. He looks over the two of you before saying anything. "Sam and Nad?" Nad, no one but Amy called you that, not even Rosie!
"How do you know who we are?" You reach for the gun that you didn't even have on you.
"I guess you call her Amy, she sent me looking for Sam but I might as well knock out two birds with one stone." The man pulls out the gun that he has. "I'm going to need the both of you to come with me."
"We aren't going anywhere with you, Sammie get away from him." As Sammie starts to walk away he grabs her and puts his forearm over is neck and the barrel of his gun to her head.
"You are coming with me or she is getting shot. Call whoever else is here and drop any weapons you have." You didn't even need to call Rosie and Sirena, they were already in the room.
"Rosie, drop your gun." You turn back to Rosie who hesitantly puts the gun on the ground. "Sirena, I know you have nothing so you're good."
"Is this really all of you?" The man pulls Sammie closer and tightens his grip on his gun.
"Yes, it is." You drop your gun and he leads all of you out the house, off the patio, past Steve's body and into the woods.
Katherine
The auburn haired girl had regained consciousness but had remained silent, they both had. They would occasionally whisper something to each other but not once question where they were going.
"Y'know, you two make this whole bad guy thing a lot less fun unless you're struggling." By this time you had determined that Matt was a total creep.
"There's no real point to struggling when there is inevitable ending." Matt looks at the young girl, confused to all hell.
"Don't use big words, he'd never understand them." The two women chuckle.
You step away from the people, at Matt's permission. How could you help someone like Matt? You could have let those women go like you did the boy but they could eventually find their way out.
You hear the rustling of the September crisp leaves on the ground. "I know you're with him but you need to take us with you." It was one of the kids that was out when Amario shot the woman, she was carrying a baby with her.
"Why do you want to go? You're free but they aren't" You look back to Matt and the women who were waiting for you.
"Well if you won't take me then at least take her." She holds out the baby for you to take.
"I'm not taking her away from you, just come on." You grab the girl and take her back to Matt and the women.
"Pia!" The young woman seemed to care a lot more than the auburn haired woman did. The young woman takes the baby from the girls arms.
"Let's go. There's not leaving us now." Matt tried to keep the big guy talk going, without success. "Let's go before this on sets a match."
The auburn haired woman slyly flips him off, without him noticing. "If I were to set a match, which I don't use matches I would have already set one on you."
"Maybe one day, princess." The women go back to whispering to each other, the Pia girl sticking by you.
You reach an old school that kept grades Pre-K through the Senior year of High school. It was the only school you had known your entire life.
Matt puts the women in a room the used to belong to a fourth grade science class. "Now, none of you will try to escape unless you want to end up dead. Tatiana and Quinn should be around here soon." The two of you go to leave the room, he goes to the younger woman "Oh and one more thing, give me the baby."
ATR
The words repeat in your head as you clutch onto Sardines. "Give me the baby." He waits a minute before repeating himself "I said give me the baby."
"Why do you want to take the kid? That baby is all she has left, let her keep it." Pia stands up, facing Matt.
Kara jumps up and throws her arm in between the two. "That is enough. We're in a shitty situation and we don't need to make it worse." Pia sits back down.
Matt grins "You made this situation bad by trusting me in the first place. That kid who always hung around you, probably dead. The other leader who you assured that I wouldn't cause any trouble, probably dead as well. Both because of one stupid decision you made."
Kara looks down at the ground "It is my fault. I make mistakes and the only time I actually open up and trust someone it has to be a fucking idiot like you." Matt grits his teeth "But that doesn't mean you can just pin the blame on me. You're the one on took us hostage."
"And what about the fire?" Matt thought he had her there but you jump to her defense.
"She was with me. She couldn't have started it because we weren't even there when it happened." Matt looks at you.
"It could have been so easy if only you had kept your mouth shut." He walks away from Kara and over to you. He grabs you by your shirt and pulls you up, you pull Sardines closer to your chest.
Pia jumps up and swats his arm away from you. "Leave her alone. If you want to ruin someone's life even more then you might as well let it be mine."
Matt lets go of you and you back up against the wall. "You two are bold and that's going to get you both killed one day. I'm going to leave all of you off with a warning, cause any trouble and I'll kill you." Pia goes to your side "I'm going to find the rest of your people and I will bring them back here."
Matt leaves the room with the woman who brought Pia back to you. "When the others get here we can plan an escape." Pia takes Sardines from you.
"We don't know who all got out. People could be hurt, lost, dead, and not to mention the kids. If Willy made it out and shows up I'm not putting him in harm's way again, Cole wouldn't let Clementine do anything that Puncake wouldn't approve of, Samantha and Madilyn are barely a month old, Lucy has one arm, Brian probably won't let Charlie do anything dangerous and we don't know if anyone else even thought about sticking around." Kara had a point, not everyone could have made it out.
After what seemed like forever in a waiting room of anger, the door opens. Matt pushes a man with a baby in. The man remains on his feet and looks down at you, it was AWESOMEO. How could he, of all people, been found so early on? "I'm going to tell you what I told the girls. Everyone's had a rough time, there will be no attempts at escaping unless you and that baby want to die." Matt slams the door and locks it from the outside.
After staying silent for the next minute AWESOMEO speaks up "Can someone please tell me which twin this is?"
Pia looks up at him "Did you get it from Lana or Katie?"
AWESOMEO thinks for a minute and answers, still sounding unsure with himself. "Katie."
"Then her name is Samantha." AWESOMEO hands Samantha to Pia. "Katie will be glad to have her back when she comes around. Did you happen to see who made it out?"
"I only saw a few people. Paul, Cole, Charlie, Adam, and Lucy stuck together and got out." He waits before continuing his sentence "Willy did too but I didn't see where he went. We all got split up, Lana was in some trouble and Katie gave me Samantha so she could go help her. Katie and Lana were the last people I saw."
"And what about Gia? Did she get out?" You look down at Sardines.
"Last I saw, Gia was helping Santiago and Clementine and then she got cornered but I don't know, maybe someone else helped her out." You feel your heart drop.
The door opens up again, AWESOMEO moves out of the way as Matt throws a kid down. Matt shuts and locks the door back up. You hear the tiny cries of the kid, the little girl looks up at you and her face brightens up. Clementine runs over and hugs you "I thought I was the only one!"
You look at AWESOMEO "I thought you said Gia was with her? What happened to Gia?" Clementine takes a seat next to you.
"There were twenty seven of us and not only was I by myself but I had someone else's kid with me, I don't know what happened to her but you could try and ask Clementine." You look down at Clementine.
"Gia got out with Santiago. I was with them but I remembered something that I forgot and when I tried to go back some person grabbed me and pulled me away." Clementine begins to think "The person told me to stay there but some walkers found me and I ran away from them."
"Do you have any idea who the person was? Could you tell them from their voice?" Kara looks at Clementine.
Clementine goes deep into thought. "They sounded like Dylan." She gasps as if she had made the discovery that would save the world "I saw Ethan and Lucy get out. They made it, they can help us!"
"You probably shouldn't get your hopes up, Clem." Pia looks at Clementine, Kara shoots Pia a look. "I'm just being honest. What are the chances of the others noticing we're gone and thinking that we have been taken prisoner rather than we die or we went on our own."
Clementine looks at you, about to ask something as Kara speaks up. "Let her take the chance to be young and alive while it lasts because every other person in this room can't go back and have another chance at their childhood, fix mistakes that they made in their past, or say goodbye to everyone they've lost."
Pia looks down and sighs "Clementine, who or what else did you see?"
Clementine doesn't get the chance to answer before Matt storms into the room, everyone jumps back onto their feet. "You fuckers think I can't hear you?! I heard what the little girl said and I specifically told you all that there was no escaping and no talking about escaping but I see how much you fuckers listen to me!"
"She's just a kid and you didn't tell her that she couldn't escape, give her a break." Pia crosses her arms.
"You want to talk back to me then I will finish you off myself!" Matt just continued yelling. "One of you, I don't give a fuck who, is going to get up and come with me. The boss is angry and wants a word." Matt takes a deep breath.
"But I thought there was no escape." Here we go again... "Leaving this room in particular would be considered leaving, wouldn't you say?" There was no stopping Pia now.
No one says anything before Pia starts talking again. Matt looks to get angrier and angrier with every word she says. "Pia, can you fucking not? The situation is bad enough." Kara caught on to Matt's anger as well. Pia stops at the command.
"Oh, the leader is back, isn't she?" Matt grins and looks at Kara. "The boy ran like a little bitch, just like you taught him." It was like he was trying to make her mad.
"And I'm glad he did because I wouldn't him to be here when--" She stops and looks at Pia, who crosses her arms and stares her down. "I'm sorry."
"No, go on. When what happens? What the fuck are you going to do? Nothing. You can not take me, none of you can." AWESOMEO looks offended, as if Matt was testing his manhood. "You want to keep talking then I can easily bring the boss in here."
"You do that, your mother would be so proud because you brought a man into a room." Pia grins at the pleasure of making Matt mad.
Matt turns back to Pia. "Just you wait, she won't stand for your mouth." Matt storms out of the room as Clementine clutches onto you. She? The boss was a woman?
Pia hands Samantha to Kara. "This could get bad." She stares at the door, waiting for Matt to come back.
"It wouldn't be bad if you kept your mouth shut." Kara passes Samantha off to AWESOMEO. "I told you time and time again that your mouth was going to get one of us in trouble and now you've just fucking done it." You were trying to pinpoint where her anger was coming from. The only thing you could think of was Pia's mouth. "Pia, sit down and do not say another word until Matt comes back." Pia does as she says and sits down against the wall.
Kara leans against the wall when the door opens. Six women, Matt and a new man come in the room, you couldn't tell who the women were. "Are you the one who's causing problems?" The last woman to enter confronts Kara. She doesn't respond to the woman. "Hello? Are you deaf or something?"
"Tatiana, calm down, please." The woman seemed to be a year or two younger than this Tatiana person.
"Tatiana? Her name is Amy." The Puerto Rican woman speaks up.
"From what she told you." The young woman turns away from the Puerto Rican woman.
"Careful, that one's an arsonist." Matt sends off a smug look. Kara simply shrugs it off.
"Quinn, can you get her to say something?" Tatiana looks to the woman to be named Quinn.
Quinn simply shrugs. "There's nothing we really can do, assuming what Matt told us is true."
Tatiana grunts. "Whatever, this is not over." Quinn, Matt, and the new man leave the room but Tatiana waits until the three of them are out, she shuts the door and locks it. "I couldn't say this while they were in here but chances are that you'll be dead in about a week, you think we're the bad guys but in reality you all are."
"Yeah, because we went to you, made you care about us, lied about our name, and tried to murder you in your sleep. Totally." The Puerto Rican was the most talkative out of all of them.
"Nad, shut the fuck up." Tatiana turns over to the woman named Nad.
"How about you both shut the fuck up and you leave with your little crew before you get beaten?" You hear the girl named Nad mutter something with Sirena in it so you could only assume that was her name.
"Beaten, murdered, smothered in my sleep, or burned?" Tatiana grins as if she had made the joke of the century.
"More arson jokes, great." Kara rolls her eyes. "Just leave, no one wants you here at the moment and you may not want us around either but chances are if you keep pestering them then the four of them will gang up on you and kill you, just a thought."
Tatiana rushes out of the room, locking the door behind her again.
(Tomorrow let us all remember the kitchen scene and how everything is not as it seems.)
Okay so I am running a little bit late but I will be back in like an hour and half with a new part so yes.
Final look: "Do you trust me o… morer not?"
The woman shrugs. "I really don't know anything about you. You could be a murderer for all I know."
The word clicked in your mind. Murderer.
No one was happy with their placement. Snick enjoyed the hurting Kara part but she didn't enjoy the Kara hurting her afterwards part.
Rosie may have been light on her feet but she was also clumsy. AWESOMEO would help her out of situations because Lucien said if she got left behind then that was it.
You hated your placement because people were counting on you to have something done at a certain time and if it wasn't done then it was your fault. Back at the cabin, you could make the food whenever you wanted and they would eat.
AWESOMEO was okay with his placement because Rosie was there but he just hated Lucien.
ATR, Pia, Clementine, Samantha, and Sardines had no placement. They were to stick together and wait until it was time to eat, of course Pia didn't want to stick around. She would always wait by the door in the gym for Rosie, AWESOMEO, and Lucien to return. ATR could always be found in the library with Samantha and Sardines, Clementine would help you or be with ATR.
Sammie didn't like her placement because Quinn was just plain crude to her.
You didn't really know how Kara felt about her placement since she never came in to eat and when she did it was just something small and then she was gone.
"Sirena, hurry up. Keep going at this rate and we'll all starve." you hear Matt behind you, rushing you to finish.
"I can't hurry up unless we don't want good food..." It was always the same thing and it's only been two days. Matt radios in for Katherine to bring ATR, Clementine, Sardines, and Samantha. "You said it yourself, the food isn't ready! Why are you calling them in?" You cook furiously.
"I'm going to let those ladies feel the disappointment." That was another thing. Matt abusing his power.
ATR, Clementine, Sardines, and Samantha arrive just a few minutes before the food is done. You rush the food out to them run back in the kitchen to turn the stove off. You hear Matt laughing behind you.
You could probably convince Snick to get Rosie and Sammie to leave, Rosie could probably get AWESOMEO to go, AWESOMEO could get Kara, and Kara could get ATR and Pia. You could just do it the easy way and talk to Snick and Kara since they were the most influential.
You rush out of the kitchen and run to the gym where the two could be found. You see Snick grab Kara's wrist, turn her arm, and push her arm. She lasted longer than you did before she goes down, Snick helps her up.
Snick takes notice of you. "Oh uh food's ready." Nice one... Snick nods and goes to the cafeteria. Kara walks past you, you run after her. "Wait up!"
She leads you to a locked room, she looks around for any of the leaders, only spotting you. "Come on." You go towards the door which opens from the inside, she slips in and pulls you in with her.
You see three people, two men and one woman, the woman hods a baby that looks like Samantha. "These are people? Who are they?"
"Oh, I forget that you weren't with us when we were brought here... Well this is Brian, Richard, and Lana and you already know Samantha." Samantha? But then who did ATR have?
"But doesn't ATR have Samantha?" Kara chuckles at the mention of Samantha.
"We have a system here. ATR has two meals a day, getting enough food for herself, Sardines, Samantha, and Clementine but if only Samantha gets fed then her sister, Madilyn, wouldn't get fed. ATR comes down here for every meal and switches out the twins so Madilyn is getting fed right now." That was a pretty good way to work around things. "Only Katherine knows that these people are down here."
She takes a minute to finish talking. "Everyone here is looking for someone else. Brian is looking for his girlfriend, Richard is looking for his brother, and Lana is looking for her best friend."
"But how did they get in here?" You give her a questioning look.
"She let us in through the window." The younger man, later to be named Brian, walks over to the window and opens it, shutting it fast. "It's one of the few windows that actually opens in this building."
"There is also another person around somewhere who is scouting. Once we get everyone back together then I was going to talk Snick into letting you guys help us take Tatiana down." She had the same idea as you did.
"That's actually what I was going to talk to you about." You had so many questions. "But who is your scout? How do they not get seen by Tatiana?"
"He's not been seen because he's smart about where he goes and he's also had previous work on the force, that might have something to do with it." She is interrupted by a small knock on the window, they all face the window.
Kara stands up and does a hand motion, everyone gets down. She opens the window and backs up. A man comes in with a woman following behind him. "Welcome back, Katie." Kara smiles and hugs the woman. The man heads right for the window again. "Cole, no more. You need sleep."
Lana looks out the door and opens it as if someone was coming in. Clementine, Pia, ATR, Sardines, and Madilyn come in. Pia holding Madilyn and ATR holding Sardines. Lana shuts the door and hands Samantha to Katie.
Katie's eyes well up with tears as she holds the infant in her arms.
"Most everyone here is united with someone else." You walk over and stand next to Kara.
"Pia and Richard are cool with each other." Pia looks at Katie and Samantha while leaning on Richard, who had his arm on her head. Just like a brother and a sister.
"ATR has been taking care of Sardines since the kid was born." You look over at ATR who was cradling Sardines, talking to the baby.
"Cole made a promise to Clementine's father that he would take care of her." Clementine hugs Cole and goes with ATR, Pia, Sardines, and Samantha towards the door.
"So you know us, but you never told us who you are.." Brian looks over to you.
The radio that you were given to let the "overlords" know when it was time to eat goes off. "Sirena, I don't know where you went but you need to get back to the kitchen now." Matt's voice seeming slightly agitated.
"That means I need to be on the wall. Kara goes for the door, holding it open for you. The two of you leave the room and go to your assigned locations.
Once you reach the kitchen you see Sammie and Rosie waiting for you. "Where were you?! You know we can't do anything without you being here!"
[Tell them about the group]
[Make up a lie]
AC
[James is right]
You look out into the woods and think to yourself. Maybe James was right, not every group was as friendly as you wanted them to be, Emery was living proof of that.
As the night drew closer you and the others gather around and have idle chit chat for a little of the night. "AC, what did you want to talk to us about?" Vanessa looked over at you.
"Oh it's nothing, just a--" Kylie shushes you and points to the treeline where there was obviously a person, alive and walking around.
Sylvester and John stand up and raise their guns. "Come out, you've already been spotted!" About half a minute later a young boy comes out of the woods. "Who are you?"
"My name is Willy. My group got separated and I thought you could help but if you don't want to help then I guess it's okay but it's really not." The boy was nervous.
James gives you a look, telling you that this was your choice.
The kid could just be a scout for another group and leading you into a trap or he could actually need your help. You couldn't tell who to trust anymore but this was your choice and you hoped you knew exactly knew what to do.

Two new parts will be released tonight and one of them is super special to me because Hwgdhsh but they will both out a little later than usual since I'm currently not home right now and I have to go to the gym and finish typing but EXCITE
Final look: "SHUT IT DOWN!" Before she has the chance to do so, the lights go out and the noise stops. It was broken and Tatiana was probably on her way already. Just great.
What I'm going to do is post something from what I have planned and this is months ahead of the current point of the story.
Ella11 months, June.
Your name is Ella. You are small and mighty.
You have your aunt's grey eyes, your mother's light freckles, and your father's dark hair. You may be young but no one could hurt you.
Your mother would always be holding you and would not let go for any reason.
Your father would try to give you the best that he could get which wasn't really much.
You were still so young but you could pulls any trick that your tiny hands were capable of, that might include knocking stuff over when your mother put your down or screeching when no one would pay attention to you.
Sirena(Thank you to Snickety for helping me through my block and working on this with me)
[Tell them about the group]
"I was down in the Seventh grade hallway." You think over your decision. "Kara's getting her group back together in secrecy."
"Seriously? Does Snick know?" Rosie looks around for Matt, Lucien, or Quinn.
"Only we know. She's got a few people and a scout already, I'm going to talk to Snick and see if she'll want to work with them to help us get out of here." You think for a minute. "We need to get everyone down to the classroom tonight so we can all plan something."
"I can get Snick to show up." Sam goes into the closet and begins checking inventory.
Rosie takes a second before leaving to go on the next run. "I could keep Tatiana, Matt, Katherine, Quinn, and Lucien busy."
Rosie runs out of the door and to the gym where you could assume Lucien and AWESOMEO were waiting. Quinn joins Sam in the inventory closet and Matt looks over your shoulder for the next hour to make sure you're cooking the food correctly.
AC
"Come over and tell us more about your group."
You stand up, ready to regret your decision. "Put your guns down, we're trusting this kid." John and Sylvester lower their guns and sit down. "Come on over and tell us more about your group!"
The boy cautiously makes his way towards your group until you are standing face to face with him. He looks weary as if he had seen a ghost or something.
"So, Willy, what happened to your group?" You sit on James' lap and put your elbows on your knees, looking over at Willy.
"This guy, Matt, came around and one of our leaders told the other that it would be fine but then he started to verbally harass the others and when we had decided to make him leave a woman in our group, Nina, got shot." He looks down. "When Nina died, her sister and a close friend of hers left for about twenty minutes and a fire was started."
"Who started it?" Vanessa looks at the young boy, waiting for answers.
"He tried to frame one of the women that left because she started a fire in the early days of this because of a guy who made her. She got caught by Fox, the first leader of the group, in the next month she had gained his trust and he would open up to her so she became the second leader." He seemed to know his group's history so well. "The man from her old group sent a few spies and they messed things up."
He realized he was getting off track. "Matt started the fire when the adults were out. He took off and caught ATR and Kara, Pia took the oldest baby and gave herself up." ATR, Kara, Pia, Fox. All of these names were new to your mind.
"Do you know where they took whoever they found?" Kylie looks at the boy who simply shrugs and shakes his head no. "Well then how can we help?"
"I just need you guys to help me find anyone who is still out there, after that you can leave me or help us or whatever you guys feel like doing." Willy pleads for help. James looks at you and notices your deep thinking, he grabs your hand and gives it a light squeeze, his way of telling you that things would be fine.
Everyone remains silent before John speaks up. "We'll help you."
Katie
You cradle Samantha in your arms, not wanting to let her go. The only people in the room were yourself, Samantha, Richard, Lana, and Brian. Cole left back out the window as soon as Kara left the room. He was determined to bring as many people back as he could.
"Hey, Katie," You look up to Lana. "I just wanted to thank you for helping me out of there." She smiles slightly and goes back to twiddling her thumbs.
"Who did you two see get out? You two were out of there last and you guys would probably know." Richard looks up from the Science book he was browsing.
"I saw Fox going the opposite direction as the way we went, like he had known of a place to go but never got to tell anyone." It hadn't been more than ten minutes since Cole had left that there was a faint knock on the window.
Brian looks through the window and opens it up, the smell of rain filling the room in a matter of seconds. Three people come inside the room. Cole, Dylan, and Santiago.
Cole goes for the window again."Cole, you just got back. You need to stop." Lana jumps out of her chair."You're running yourself to death!"
"I saw him.." Cole takes a deep breath. "I saw Fox but he wouldn't come with us because-" A small knock is heard at the door. Brian gets the door and Kara comes in with a Spanish looking girl.
Kara opens her mouth to say something but notices Cole going for the window. "I already told you no and it's evident that you didn't listen..."
The Spanish lady looks confused. "Just one more, you won't be disappointed, I swear."
Kara lets out a sigh. "Fine but don't get caught." Cole rushes out the window and Brian shuts it behind him. "So, anyone want to tell me why I won't be disappointed?" She doesn't wait for an answer. "Anyways, back on track. Guys, this is Snick. Snick this is Katie, Brian, Lana, and Richard." She faces back to Dylan and Santiago, not noticing them before. "And Dylan and Santiago."
"How do you keep them down here without getting caught? And how did you get them in anyways?" She obviously didn't see Cole taking off out the window...
"That's what I'm worried about. We've only been here for four days and six people have been found, there won't be any room left in like two days at the most." She looks down. "That means we all get caught and punished."
"I have an idea! The room right next door! The windows don't open but the door does. I'll run down the hall to the office and get the key." There was a key? And no one had found it before?
Snick rushes out of the room. "Okay so some of you will love over there but one person will have to stay here for hen Cole goes scouting, he can't get the window open from the outside." Kara shuts the door behind Snick.
"I'll stay here." Brian stays next to the window while everyone gets together anything they had.
Snick
You search through the main office for a key of anything when it occurs to you. The janitors had a key that unlocked every door in the school.
You leave the office and look for the janitor's office with the recurring flashes of lightning guiding you through the building.
You see a door that reads "School staff only" and look around before grabbing the handle and throwing the door open. You rush in and get grabbed by a lurker that was dressed in janitor apparel.
You try to keep quiet and pull away when you remember what you had done to Amy when she tried to kill you. You throw the upper half of your body up and grab the lurker by the neck, jump to your feet and slam the lurker against the wall.
You grab a broom that was leaning against the wall and beat on the lurker until it is officially dead.
Looking through the lurker's pockets you find a set of keys, you grab the keys and leave the closet, returning to the seventh grade hallway. You decide to not knock but to open the door and prove you got the key.
Once the door opens you hear yelling coming from down the hall and hearing Clementine continually yelling "I'm sorry!" Kara leaves the room and runs down the hall, you shut the door behind her.
Once you reach the scene you see Rosie, AWESOMEO, Sammie, Sirena, ATR, Sardines, Samantha, Pia, and Clementine. Lucien and Matt had separated Clementine from the others while Quinn and Katherine both just watched.
Matt yells at Clementine which is inaudible to you. He raises his hand and throws it down, hitting Clementine in the face. The little girl is knocked down. Lucien picks her up and throws her back down.
Quinn gets a look as if she wants it to stop but she wouldn't do anything about it. You and Kara stop at the end of the hall, where the entire thing was going on. "We need to stop this. Do you remember what I taught you?" You look over at woman with light freckles and she nods.
You run at Matt and pin him against the wall, Lucien begins to approach you but Kara does what she was told, twisting his arm and putting him on the ground. "Do you feel what you did was necessary? Do you feel good now that you hurt a little girl?!" You yell at Matt the way he was yelling at Clementine.
"Quinn! Get this bitch off of me!" Quinn walks toward you buts turn her back to you, helping Clementine back to her feet.
"For once her acts are justified. You brought this to yourself." Quinn looks over Clementine for any visible bruises, spotting nothing but a red mark on her face and a little scratch on her cheek. "Sam, let's go check for a band-aid and fix her up."
Katherine takes Samantha from Rosie and Quinn leads ATR with Sardines, Sammie, Pia, and Clementine to the front office.
Kara places her hand on your arm. "I get it, he deserves Hell but giving him payback for everything he had done before would just take too much time." She takes her hand off of your arm and you slowly pull away from Matt.
Rosie and AWESOMEO go back to the gym, leaving Lucien on the ground. "Next time you lay a hand on that little girl I will kill you." Matt leans against the wall. Sirena goes back into the kitchen, leaving him there.
You and Kara go back to the room and are greeted by looks but no words. Looks that said "What happened?" and "Who is hurt?"
You hear the sound of a bullhorn which Matt used to tell everyone that they needed to be in the same place, Tatiana probably knew of the attack already. Kara's people looked confused to all hell, they needed to know what was going on outside the room but if you left them with no answers you may not return to the room.
Sirena (Thank you to Snickety for helping me through my block and working on this with me)
[Tell them about the group]
"I was down in… more the Seventh grade hallway." You think over your decision. "Kara's getting her group back together in secrecy."
"Seriously? Does Snick know?" Rosie looks around for Matt, Lucien, or Quinn.
"Only we know. She's got a few people and a scout already, I'm going to talk to Snick and see if she'll want to work with them to help us get out of here." You think for a minute. "We need to get everyone down to the classroom tonight so we can all plan something."
"I can get Snick to show up." Sam goes into the closet and begins checking inventory.
Rosie takes a second before leaving to go on the next run. "I could keep Tatiana, Matt, Katherine, Quinn, and Lucien busy."
Rosie runs out of the door and to the gym where you could assume Lucien and AWESOMEO were waiting. Quinn joins Sam in the inventory clos… [view original content]

Okay so I'm having some trouble writing this part because of conflicting timeline but who do you guys want to see? Like I've been writing the same people over and over and I think ti's time for a variety. What do you guys think?
James and Alive_Clem. I know you write a lot for them but... You don't have to listen to me
...
James and AC are adorable and I shall listen to you!
ATR
Matt was up to no good, you knew he had no intent on finding his "family". You had Kara alone but you didn't know how to tell her or if you should.
"Hey uh.." You stop talking and she gives you a questioning look. You think of something else to say. "Why aren't you crying for Nina?"
She shrugs "That would be like mourning for every person who died before her. You win some but you eventually lose it and yeah, it hurts but there's no way to stop it. I can't go back in time and take the bullet for her and I can't go forward in time to figure out what's going to happen next, I can only worry about the present and those who are still alive." Everything goes quiet after she finishes talking except the occasional rustle of the leaves.
"But I mean she was your sister. I would be upset if I had a sister and she died." Being an only child meant you had less experiences to help others cope with sibling problems.
"I am upset but she wouldn't want me to be so I act like I'm not." Things for her were always an act. She was never open with her feelings and this would probably be the only time you could talk to her about them and she'd give you a serious answer.
"And what about if someone else goes? Like Fox or Willy? Would you cry or feel upset?" Well of course she would but now that you got the conversation started, it was too late to end it.
"Of course I would for both of them. I think of Willy as a brother or a son and it would fucking suck to lose him and Fox is the only reason I have to live. He forgave me for what I did." What she did? Oh yeah, the fire.
"Why wouldn't he forgive you? I mean you were sent by someone, it's not like you had a choice in the matter. You didn't have a choice, right?" You give her a look of concern.
She chuckles slightly. "Of course I did. It was either burn down the building or die, I'm sorry that I actually valued my life at a time."
"Valued?" You pick up the speed of walking. "So you don't value your life anymore? Why do you stick around anymore?" It wasn't hard to offend her but apparently this topic of conversation was fine.
She puts her hands in her pocket "Once people start dying it becomes.. hard to value your life." She had a point. You only lost your mother but even that was hard. She lost her mother, father, and sister in the span of two months.
"We should probably be going back, right? Maybe they got everything handled back there." She nods in agreement and the two of you turn back around and continue your path back to where you came from.
Katherine
[Get the gun]
You decide to stop walking ahead and go get the gun before you go anywhere. It would be stupid to go without it.
You wait for Emery and Amario to leave your view and run back for the gun. "It's pretty dumb to return to the scene of the crime. especially when the group members are out and about." You look up and a see a tall man, looking like he came from the army.
You stop going for the gun and watch as he picks it up before you do. "Who are you?" You slowly back away from him.
"The name's Matt and there's no reason to be afraid. You see, I was sent here to bring these people down. A former member wants back what they took from him, even though he didn't tell me what they took." He hands you the gun. "And of the people you could have shot, you shoot her? Really?"
How did he know you shot her? "Shot who? I don't know what you're talking about..." You scratch the back of your neck, trying to not look guilty, even though Amario shot the girl in the first place.
"Don't try and play stupid. I guess it just so happens that Nina was shot and you just show up with a gun. I know you have something against these people and so do I. So, what's your name?" I guess the not guilty head scratch didn't work, but then again it never really does.
"Katherine. I don't have anything against these people, the people I was with did but we kind of had a falling out and we split up." You couldn't think of a better way to describe the past two minutes of your life any better.
"Well, Katherine. How about you and I work together to bring these people down? Treat them the way they treated us?" Us? What did he mean?
"What do you mean by treated us? I just now met you and they treated me fine until Emery started stuff and then I got into a fight with one of their people and got her bitten." No matter how hard you tried, you couldn't forget getting the girl bitten.
"Just answer my question. Will you help me or not?" You had just met this man, he was already asking you to kill people and to help him hurt others but you had no idea what he was capable of if you said no.
"I'll help you." or "Stay away from me."
AC
Everything went from good to a lot better once James had told you how he really felt. Though you couldn't help but feel that Sylvester had helped him find the courage to do it. Maybe you were just being paranoid.
Whatever the case may be, the both of you were happy in a gloomy world. Vanessa and Kylie were reunited, Sylvester and the man got along fairly well and the kids were pretty cool with each other since they've known each for quite a bit now.
You never thought that at a time like this, when the entire world was dead, that you would ever find someone you could get along with and start to have feelings for but no one could predict the future.
Even though you knew there were people alive you still wanted to find others. You wanted to bring it up to the group but you didn't know how.
Maybe that night you could get the group together and bring it up to them when they were all in the same place.
It would be best to try and get the man and Sylvester to come first. If you didn't catch them while they were in a good mood then you would never catch them again. You go over to where the two men are sitting and sit across from them. "I'm not going to take all of your time but tonight before you guys go to bed I need to talk with you both and the rest of the group."
You stand up and leave, hoping they'll show tonight. Next it would be wise to get Vanessa and Kylie before they made promises with the kids for the night.
You call the two women over to you and sit down. "Do you guys have time to talk with the group tonight? I've got something to say and I think it would be better said with everyone together." The two nod and go tend to the kids.
Now all that was left was James, that should be no problem. He seemed to be bored out of his mind when he wasn't searching for Vanessa or hanging around you.
You call out to James, unwilling to move. He knows you wouldn't get up so he comes over to you. "Okay so I talked to everyone else in the group and we're going to have a little chat tonight, all of us. The kids will go to bed and we'll talk before everyone else goes to bed." He nods, proving that he understands. "But I want to talk to you about it now." He sits down next to you. You pull your legs up to your chest and lean your head on his chest. "We know there are other groups out there, right?"
You look up at him, waiting for an answer. "I guess so, yeah."
"So why don't we try and find them? Those other groups can use some extra people and we could be those extra people, right?"
James shrugs. "I'm not sure. Emery has taught me one thing and that is to not trust others. It was hard to trust Kylie, I mean she could have been lying but I trusted her because you did."
"Maybe you're right, I mean I just want to get out there and meet people, find others who are like us but I never considered anyone to be untrustworthy." You sigh.
"Look, whatever you decide I'll go along with you." James smiles and you kiss his cheek.
"Thank you for sticking with me." You run off and end up climbing a tree, trying to find your peace to make the decision if you want to meet any other people or not. Things could change majorly but now that you knew James was with you every second of the way, that somewhat relieved you.

(In a few minutes I am going to post something special and see if it works out, if it doesn't I will drop it and never try it again because it was a failure and it needs to be sad and alone forever but if it works I will keep it up. I'll describe it when I post it though.)
P.S. I just wanted to thank any one who is reading this because when I first started this story I felt that it wasn't going to go very far but here I am 3 months and 19 days later and I've already written over 70 parts. This story has grown on me and it has quickly become a daily routine to write a little bit before bed. This story wouldn't be possible if not for the people who read it, I'm just here to put the characters in direction but the rest is up to you. So thank you so much for your constant support
Just felt like putting that out there.
"I'll help you."
[James is right]
Hopefully that special thing works out...
And thank you for writing the story. This is my favorite fan fiction that I'm currently following, and I hope it continues. It's been great so far, and I hope it continues! The AliveJames moments were great, and I wish I had more time in the past to focus more on reading this. You(and Fluefeed
) have definitely improved over the past, and the choices have a pretty big affect on the story. I always look forward to coming onto this thread, and my heart skips a beat when I see this thread has a new comment. Thanks so much!
[Go check on ATR]
Oh hi hello welcome to my story
"Stay away from me"
[James is right]
JEN ARE YOU PROUD
Now I'm proud
(Here's the deal, what I am going to do is write the outcome for a choice but I will not be writing the full part and I'm just doing this for fun but here we go)
You bolt through the tree line, stumbling on any rock that lies on the moist ground below your feet.
You don't know how far you got from him but the farther the better.
You turn your head to look back. You hear the crash of thunder and your muscles stiffen up, you turn back to face the front and see three lurkers. You have nothing to defend yourself with.
You start to back away from the lurkers, you trip over a tree root. As the lurkers get closer you back away, your hands slipping in the mud.
One of the lurkers topples on top of you, you feel as if it was all over but you still fight it. You stop fighting and let go, the lurker is about to bite you as a sword digs into the lurker's head.
The person kicks the body off of you and holds a hand out, you take their hand, you feel leather gloves as they pull you up. They grab your wrist and start running.
They take you to a sturdy brick home where you see two other women sitting down, one is stretched out on the couch and the other is sitting in a chair, they jump up.
The person slams the door once you go in. "Who are you people? Why am I here?" The woman takes her hood off to reveal long, beautiful dark brown hair.
"Stay away from me."

The woman who looked the to be the second eldest stands up. "The real question is who are you?" The woman squints her eyes, staring you down, judging your every move harshly.
"Rosie, give her a break. She fell and I helped her up, it's not a big deal." The woman puts her hood on a hook as if the world wasn't in the midst of being destroyed.
"It is a big deal, Snick. We don't know this girl and she could be a danger to us!" As the woman raises her voice a boy who looks to be 15 comes downstairs. "Steve, shut the fuck up."
"I didn't even say anything!" The boy looks at the woman, not looking too offended.
"Why did you think it was a good idea to bring her here, Snick?" The woman still seemed sour about the "Snick" person bringing you around.
"I just had a good feeling about her, okay?!" Snick realizes she hadn't let go of your wrist, she slyly releases your wrist.
"If you don't want to keep her, at least let her tell her story, have a meal, and get some sleep." The boy looks over at you with concern. "Who knows what she's been through..."
"Sirena, do we have enough for her to eat?" Snick looks over at the woman who had sat back down on the couch and was looking through a magazine.
The woman stands up and walks into the kitchen. She returns and looks down sadly "No, I only made enough for us."
You look over at Snick "She can have my food, I can go one day without eating." She gives you a soft smile and escorts you to the kitchen.
She holds out a chair for you and pulls a stool up to the table and sits next to you. "So what is your name?"
The woman who you could assume was Sirena hands you a bowl with chicken noodle soup in it. "My name is Sam." Everyone sits down and begins eating, everyone except for Snick, who listens to what you have to say very attentively.
You take a spoonful of the soup and quickly determine that it is the best thing you've had in months. "I was with my sister, Maggie, we got separated about three days ago and I eventually ended up here."
Sirena frowns a little and sways her spoon in her soup. "Aw damn dude, that sucks. It's hard losing someone." Everyone in this room probably lost someone at sometime or another.
After that the table got quiet, except for Steve's occasional cough. After everyone finishes they all stand up and start going up stairs.
You remain in the kitchen. Snick notices your confusion. "You going to sleep?"
"I would but I don't really know where to go..." Sirena glances you while putting the dishes away.
"I can show you." Snick leads you upstairs. Rosie and Steve were already fast asleep. "We only have four beds but you can bunk with me. I'll take the floor." Snick shows you to the last door on the right side of the hall. "Rosie is in the room next to us, Steve is across from her, and Sirena is across from us." Snick looks through the little closet. "I'm going to go into Sirena's bathroom and change, I'll be back."
You sit on the neatly made bed and look around the room, the floor was spotless and anything that needed to be hung up was hung up in a neat order. It seemed so plain but at least there was a window. You put your elbow on the window sill and watch as the rain drops fall into the pipe that was on the side of the house.
Snick returns after a few minutes, dressed in a tank top and short shorts with her leather gloves still on. She locks the door and waits for you to move from the window so she can shut the curtains. "Rosie doesn't like the windows being open or the door being unlocked.
She makes a pallet on the floor, taking a blanket and a pillow from the closet. She places the sword that she used to save you, which was now all nice and clean, next to her spot on the floor. "I know Rosie seemed a little tense about having you around but we're all glad to have you here and maybe you could stay with us if the storm stops tomorrow."
"I hope I can stay... Would Rosie be okay with me staying?" You go under the covers of the bed and crawl into a fetal position.
"Rosie will be chill with it, if you prove yourself to be trustworthy, just give her some time." Snick yawns and faces the wall. "Goodnight, Sammie."
"Sammie? Oh no, it's just Sam." Why was she calling you Sammie? "Goodnight, Snick." You face your wall and slowly drift off to sleep.
Quote from an upcoming part: "What they have would hardly be considered friendship but more bonding over hatred..."
One last quote from the part that will release tomorrow afternoon: "I hope you remembered what happened with her..."
Snick Two months, four days (Special Thanks to Snickety for the idea for this part)
It was early and the rain was still pouring down, Sirena was making breakfast while Steve was looking over the weapons to make sure they were still of use, Sam was still in bed despite all of the people stomping around and crashes of thunder.
You sit outside and keep watch, just like you did every morning. Rosie would usually be helping Steve by taking the weapons that weren't of use and attempting to fix it.
The front door opens and Rosie slips out, quietly shutting the door behind her. "Snick, I know it's probably bad timing but I just need you to please tell me why you wanted to bring Sam around here. I hope you remembered what happened with her..."
"You don't need to call her a her, her name is Amy. She was our friend but what she wanted and what she didn't have took over and led us to where we are now. We don't know why Sam was out there and she probably doesn't want us to know and we want her to keep that peace of mind, don't we?" Rosie was open-minded but she would not the slightest insult past her, she would take it personally, even if you didn't mean it.
"And remind me whose side Amy was really on?" Rosie sits down next to you. "Listen, I'm sorry, Snick. I just don't want anyone to get hurt. I don't know what I would do if any of you got hurt."
You look at Rosie. "But what if it was Sammie in trouble? I bet you would let her get hurt, wouldn't you Rosie?"
Rosie stands back up. "I'm not going to take this from you, come talk to me when you don't want to doubt me." Rosie goes back inside and slams the door behind her.
After about two minutes sitting out there alone you realize that you needed someone to talk to and you needed to tell Rosie how you really felt about Sammie. You peak your head into the front door and see her looking over the weapons with Steve. You shift your eyes and look for Sammie. "Pst, Rosie!"
You catch Rosie's attention and she goes out with you. "I'm going to be honest with you. We both know the reason Amy did what she did."
Rosie nods in understanding. "But what if it wasn't Sam who was out there? What if it was Amy herself or some complete stranger? Would you have helped them?"
"Well of course I would have-" She cuts you off.
"There's a fine line between being helpful and putting yourself in danger and I don't want to see you cross that line." Rosie hated taking charge, she wanted things to be diplomatic if anything.
"One more thing-" You get cut off by a man's voice coming from the woods and a gunshot.
Steve comes running out, along with Sirena. "What the fuck it going on?"
"We don't know..." Rosie raises her gun, Steve raises his also.
"Rosie, go check." or "Steve, go check."
Katherine
"Stay away from me."
"No offense but I just met you and I don't think I want to join another psychopath and wants to kill people." You begin to walk away from Matt.
He charges at you and grabs you by the neck, pinning you against the tree. "I guess you don't understand me.. It was hardly an offer but more of an order so let's try this again, shall we?" He lets go of you and you fall to your knees, trying to catch your breath. "Will you help me bring these people down?" You nod frantically, unable to talk.
"Good deal. Now I set a fire in there and most of the people who are of use are out there, the kids, a mute guy, and a few untrusted people who are sleeping inside. One of the people who left has started a fire before so I'm hoping they blame her but if they don't then they'll blame one of the new people." Matt looks back at the barn. "It's only a matter of time before they notice it and they're pretty fucking stupid to have not noticed this far but now there's no stopping it."
You look on as one person leaves the barn and approaches the group who were outside in a panic, the people who were outside goes inside and doesn't leave until the barn start collapsing but even then you don't see everyone of the people you saw before. You felt bad for just watching it. "You said they had kids? How old?"
"The oldest was fourteen, the youngest only a month old." This man was crazy. Burning babies was never okay.
"A month old?!" You jump up. "How are they going to get out?!"
"I'm sure those people got the babies out fine, Princess. Don't go getting soft on me, Katherine." Getting soft on him? This was insane.
"I was never with you to begin with." You leave the bushes and start going towards the barn. He pulls you back and pins you down, covering your mouth, and putting a knife to your throat.
You could see the crazy in his eyes. "You aren't leaving me just yet, Katherine." His eyes shift to see two women walking towards the edge.
One of the women drops her gun and puts her hands over her face. "This can't be happening, Kara this can't be happening." The other woman looked vaguely familiar, you only remember her because of Emery pressuring you to kill her.
Matt lets go of you, you quickly sit up. He slowly makes his way towards the women, with your gun in hand. He takes the butt of the gun and hits the auburn haired woman in the back of the head. The other woman catches her and backs away from Matt. "Please don't do this!"
"Then if you don't want anything to happen to me then you need to come with me, do you understand?" The girl nods and wraps her friends arm around her shoulder. "Oh and if you try to use those bullshit ninja moves you'll both end up dead. Just a warning."
You see a little boy witnessing the whole event. You stand up and look directly at him and he looks directly at you. "Run, now." You say it in a loud enough voice that he will hear but Matt won't hear.
Matt looks over and notices the boy running away. "DAMMIT! KATHERINE CATCH HIM!" You don't move but Matt takes off in an effort to catch him, quickly failing. "Whatever. These two will have to do. Matt grabs the auburn haired girl and you take the other by the wrist.
This was how things were going to be now, there was no turning back.
(Sorry that this part was kind of short but now a very special Snickety has joined in as a writer and that might bring along more parts, it might not but she is there so I am attempting to fill her in on the story. She will mainly be working with Snick's group since she is Snick and she knows the other people better than I do. We'll still work together most of the time though.)
"Rosie, go check."
Choosing Steve is too obvious, I know I say that a lot, but I will never forget the kitchen scene :P.
"Steve, go check."
But what might happen if Rosie goes to check will be a mystery that only time will tell
It can't be anything good in an apocalypse. B]
touché, Raging, touché
"Steve, go check."
"Steve, go check."
Voting closed!: Snick will send Steve to check out the gunshot.
Snick
"Steve, go check."
You, Sirena, Rosie, and Steve stare out to the sound of where the gunshot came from.
"Steve, go check it out." Steve gives you a dirty look.
"I'm sorry, I thought I was a bad detective and I should never try and be like the only person
I've looked up to since I was six." That was three years ago, how could he remember that?
"Steve, I said that three years ago. There's a time to hold grudges but it is not right now." Sammie walks out of the house.
"Hey, we asked the same question. Simply amazing." Sirena couldn't help what she said most of the time, even if it was hardly the appropriate time to say what she said.
Steve rolls his eyes. "Fine, I'll be the man and prove to you that there is probably nothing to be afraid of."
As Steve walks off the deck Sammie gets extremely nervous. "Steve's right, it's probably nothing and he'll be back." Rosie and Sirena agree that he'll be fine and go back inside.
As Steve approaches the trees another shot is fired, he hits the ground. Sammie turns around and calls for Sirena and Rosie to back out. You take off in a run to reach Steve.
As he lie down on the dead leaves and moist soil I crouch besides him. His face is pale as porcelain and his lips quiver as I rest my hand on his head. "now's a good chance" I whisper to myself. I confess to the reason his father had died and who the serial killer was. My voice was shaky. His eyes widened. He lets out a choked cry and raises the gun still in his hand. I accept my fate if it is to die here. I close my eyes slowly and wait for the blow. It never comes.
You turn to see Sammie looking on, Rosie and Sirena come out and look on in horror as you put a bullet in Steve's head. You go back inside and sit at the table while everyone else eats, you couldn't eat after what you had to do.
It hurt you to see Steve's spot empty. Why didn't you just go yourself? Why did you make him go? "So, Snick, why did he aim his gun at you?" Sammie puts her spoon down and looks at you.
"I-" You get cut off by a knock at the door. The lurkers weren't as so polite as to knock, so who was it? You get up to answer the door, Sammie follows you into the living room.
You open the door and see a fairly fit man. He looks over the two of you before saying anything. "Sam and Nad?" Nad, no one but Amy called you that, not even Rosie!
"How do you know who we are?" You reach for the gun that you didn't even have on you.
"I guess you call her Amy, she sent me looking for Sam but I might as well knock out two birds with one stone." The man pulls out the gun that he has. "I'm going to need the both of you to come with me."
"We aren't going anywhere with you, Sammie get away from him." As Sammie starts to walk away he grabs her and puts his forearm over is neck and the barrel of his gun to her head.
"You are coming with me or she is getting shot. Call whoever else is here and drop any weapons you have." You didn't even need to call Rosie and Sirena, they were already in the room.
"Rosie, drop your gun." You turn back to Rosie who hesitantly puts the gun on the ground. "Sirena, I know you have nothing so you're good."
"Is this really all of you?" The man pulls Sammie closer and tightens his grip on his gun.
"Yes, it is." You drop your gun and he leads all of you out the house, off the patio, past Steve's body and into the woods.
Katherine
The auburn haired girl had regained consciousness but had remained silent, they both had. They would occasionally whisper something to each other but not once question where they were going.
"Y'know, you two make this whole bad guy thing a lot less fun unless you're struggling." By this time you had determined that Matt was a total creep.
"There's no real point to struggling when there is inevitable ending." Matt looks at the young girl, confused to all hell.
"Don't use big words, he'd never understand them." The two women chuckle.
You step away from the people, at Matt's permission. How could you help someone like Matt? You could have let those women go like you did the boy but they could eventually find their way out.
You hear the rustling of the September crisp leaves on the ground. "I know you're with him but you need to take us with you." It was one of the kids that was out when Amario shot the woman, she was carrying a baby with her.
"Why do you want to go? You're free but they aren't" You look back to Matt and the women who were waiting for you.
"Well if you won't take me then at least take her." She holds out the baby for you to take.
"I'm not taking her away from you, just come on." You grab the girl and take her back to Matt and the women.
"Pia!" The young woman seemed to care a lot more than the auburn haired woman did. The young woman takes the baby from the girls arms.
"Let's go. There's not leaving us now." Matt tried to keep the big guy talk going, without success. "Let's go before this on sets a match."
The auburn haired woman slyly flips him off, without him noticing. "If I were to set a match, which I don't use matches I would have already set one on you."
"Maybe one day, princess." The women go back to whispering to each other, the Pia girl sticking by you.
You reach an old school that kept grades Pre-K through the Senior year of High school. It was the only school you had known your entire life.
Matt puts the women in a room the used to belong to a fourth grade science class. "Now, none of you will try to escape unless you want to end up dead. Tatiana and Quinn should be around here soon." The two of you go to leave the room, he goes to the younger woman "Oh and one more thing, give me the baby."
ATR
The words repeat in your head as you clutch onto Sardines. "Give me the baby." He waits a minute before repeating himself "I said give me the baby."
"Why do you want to take the kid? That baby is all she has left, let her keep it." Pia stands up, facing Matt.
Kara jumps up and throws her arm in between the two. "That is enough. We're in a shitty situation and we don't need to make it worse." Pia sits back down.
Matt grins "You made this situation bad by trusting me in the first place. That kid who always hung around you, probably dead. The other leader who you assured that I wouldn't cause any trouble, probably dead as well. Both because of one stupid decision you made."
Kara looks down at the ground "It is my fault. I make mistakes and the only time I actually open up and trust someone it has to be a fucking idiot like you." Matt grits his teeth "But that doesn't mean you can just pin the blame on me. You're the one on took us hostage."
"And what about the fire?" Matt thought he had her there but you jump to her defense.
"She was with me. She couldn't have started it because we weren't even there when it happened." Matt looks at you.
"It could have been so easy if only you had kept your mouth shut." He walks away from Kara and over to you. He grabs you by your shirt and pulls you up, you pull Sardines closer to your chest.
Pia jumps up and swats his arm away from you. "Leave her alone. If you want to ruin someone's life even more then you might as well let it be mine."
Matt lets go of you and you back up against the wall. "You two are bold and that's going to get you both killed one day. I'm going to leave all of you off with a warning, cause any trouble and I'll kill you." Pia goes to your side "I'm going to find the rest of your people and I will bring them back here."
Matt leaves the room with the woman who brought Pia back to you. "When the others get here we can plan an escape." Pia takes Sardines from you.
"We don't know who all got out. People could be hurt, lost, dead, and not to mention the kids. If Willy made it out and shows up I'm not putting him in harm's way again, Cole wouldn't let Clementine do anything that Puncake wouldn't approve of, Samantha and Madilyn are barely a month old, Lucy has one arm, Brian probably won't let Charlie do anything dangerous and we don't know if anyone else even thought about sticking around." Kara had a point, not everyone could have made it out.
After what seemed like forever in a waiting room of anger, the door opens. Matt pushes a man with a baby in. The man remains on his feet and looks down at you, it was AWESOMEO. How could he, of all people, been found so early on? "I'm going to tell you what I told the girls. Everyone's had a rough time, there will be no attempts at escaping unless you and that baby want to die." Matt slams the door and locks it from the outside.
After staying silent for the next minute AWESOMEO speaks up "Can someone please tell me which twin this is?"
Pia looks up at him "Did you get it from Lana or Katie?"
AWESOMEO thinks for a minute and answers, still sounding unsure with himself. "Katie."
"Then her name is Samantha." AWESOMEO hands Samantha to Pia. "Katie will be glad to have her back when she comes around. Did you happen to see who made it out?"
"I only saw a few people. Paul, Cole, Charlie, Adam, and Lucy stuck together and got out." He waits before continuing his sentence "Willy did too but I didn't see where he went. We all got split up, Lana was in some trouble and Katie gave me Samantha so she could go help her. Katie and Lana were the last people I saw."
"And what about Gia? Did she get out?" You look down at Sardines.
"Last I saw, Gia was helping Santiago and Clementine and then she got cornered but I don't know, maybe someone else helped her out." You feel your heart drop.
The door opens up again, AWESOMEO moves out of the way as Matt throws a kid down. Matt shuts and locks the door back up. You hear the tiny cries of the kid, the little girl looks up at you and her face brightens up. Clementine runs over and hugs you "I thought I was the only one!"
You look at AWESOMEO "I thought you said Gia was with her? What happened to Gia?" Clementine takes a seat next to you.
"There were twenty seven of us and not only was I by myself but I had someone else's kid with me, I don't know what happened to her but you could try and ask Clementine." You look down at Clementine.
"Gia got out with Santiago. I was with them but I remembered something that I forgot and when I tried to go back some person grabbed me and pulled me away." Clementine begins to think "The person told me to stay there but some walkers found me and I ran away from them."
"Do you have any idea who the person was? Could you tell them from their voice?" Kara looks at Clementine.
Clementine goes deep into thought. "They sounded like Dylan." She gasps as if she had made the discovery that would save the world "I saw Ethan and Lucy get out. They made it, they can help us!"
"You probably shouldn't get your hopes up, Clem." Pia looks at Clementine, Kara shoots Pia a look. "I'm just being honest. What are the chances of the others noticing we're gone and thinking that we have been taken prisoner rather than we die or we went on our own."
Clementine looks at you, about to ask something as Kara speaks up. "Let her take the chance to be young and alive while it lasts because every other person in this room can't go back and have another chance at their childhood, fix mistakes that they made in their past, or say goodbye to everyone they've lost."
Pia looks down and sighs "Clementine, who or what else did you see?"
Clementine doesn't get the chance to answer before Matt storms into the room, everyone jumps back onto their feet. "You fuckers think I can't hear you?! I heard what the little girl said and I specifically told you all that there was no escaping and no talking about escaping but I see how much you fuckers listen to me!"
"She's just a kid and you didn't tell her that she couldn't escape, give her a break." Pia crosses her arms.
"You want to talk back to me then I will finish you off myself!" Matt just continued yelling. "One of you, I don't give a fuck who, is going to get up and come with me. The boss is angry and wants a word." Matt takes a deep breath.
"But I thought there was no escape." Here we go again... "Leaving this room in particular would be considered leaving, wouldn't you say?" There was no stopping Pia now.
No one says anything before Pia starts talking again. Matt looks to get angrier and angrier with every word she says. "Pia, can you fucking not? The situation is bad enough." Kara caught on to Matt's anger as well. Pia stops at the command.
"Oh, the leader is back, isn't she?" Matt grins and looks at Kara. "The boy ran like a little bitch, just like you taught him." It was like he was trying to make her mad.
"And I'm glad he did because I wouldn't him to be here when--" She stops and looks at Pia, who crosses her arms and stares her down. "I'm sorry."
"No, go on. When what happens? What the fuck are you going to do? Nothing. You can not take me, none of you can." AWESOMEO looks offended, as if Matt was testing his manhood. "You want to keep talking then I can easily bring the boss in here."
"You do that, your mother would be so proud because you brought a man into a room." Pia grins at the pleasure of making Matt mad.
Matt turns back to Pia. "Just you wait, she won't stand for your mouth." Matt storms out of the room as Clementine clutches onto you. She? The boss was a woman?
Pia hands Samantha to Kara. "This could get bad." She stares at the door, waiting for Matt to come back.
"It wouldn't be bad if you kept your mouth shut." Kara passes Samantha off to AWESOMEO. "I told you time and time again that your mouth was going to get one of us in trouble and now you've just fucking done it." You were trying to pinpoint where her anger was coming from. The only thing you could think of was Pia's mouth. "Pia, sit down and do not say another word until Matt comes back." Pia does as she says and sits down against the wall.
Kara leans against the wall when the door opens. Six women, Matt and a new man come in the room, you couldn't tell who the women were. "Are you the one who's causing problems?" The last woman to enter confronts Kara. She doesn't respond to the woman. "Hello? Are you deaf or something?"
"Tatiana, calm down, please." The woman seemed to be a year or two younger than this Tatiana person.
"Tatiana? Her name is Amy." The Puerto Rican woman speaks up.
"From what she told you." The young woman turns away from the Puerto Rican woman.
"Careful, that one's an arsonist." Matt sends off a smug look. Kara simply shrugs it off.
"Quinn, can you get her to say something?" Tatiana looks to the woman to be named Quinn.
Quinn simply shrugs. "There's nothing we really can do, assuming what Matt told us is true."
Tatiana grunts. "Whatever, this is not over." Quinn, Matt, and the new man leave the room but Tatiana waits until the three of them are out, she shuts the door and locks it. "I couldn't say this while they were in here but chances are that you'll be dead in about a week, you think we're the bad guys but in reality you all are."
"Yeah, because we went to you, made you care about us, lied about our name, and tried to murder you in your sleep. Totally." The Puerto Rican was the most talkative out of all of them.
"Nad, shut the fuck up." Tatiana turns over to the woman named Nad.
"How about you both shut the fuck up and you leave with your little crew before you get beaten?" You hear the girl named Nad mutter something with Sirena in it so you could only assume that was her name.
"Beaten, murdered, smothered in my sleep, or burned?" Tatiana grins as if she had made the joke of the century.
"More arson jokes, great." Kara rolls her eyes. "Just leave, no one wants you here at the moment and you may not want us around either but chances are if you keep pestering them then the four of them will gang up on you and kill you, just a thought."
Tatiana rushes out of the room, locking the door behind her again.
(Tomorrow let us all remember the kitchen scene and how everything is not as it seems.)
Happy first of October!
"You two don't understand, do you? There are rules, there are strictures, and you two need to follow them." She lets out a deep sigh.
Okay so I am running a little bit late but I will be back in like an hour and half with a new part so yes.
Final look: "Do you trust me or not?"
The woman shrugs. "I really don't know anything about you. You could be a murderer for all I know."
The word clicked in your mind. Murderer.
I had to retype it because I left my computer alone for like 20 minutes and it updated without saving what I did but I am almost done with it.
NEWS
NEWS YES HELLO
Sirena
No one was happy with their placement. Snick enjoyed the hurting Kara part but she didn't enjoy the Kara hurting her afterwards part.
Rosie may have been light on her feet but she was also clumsy. AWESOMEO would help her out of situations because Lucien said if she got left behind then that was it.
You hated your placement because people were counting on you to have something done at a certain time and if it wasn't done then it was your fault. Back at the cabin, you could make the food whenever you wanted and they would eat.
AWESOMEO was okay with his placement because Rosie was there but he just hated Lucien.
ATR, Pia, Clementine, Samantha, and Sardines had no placement. They were to stick together and wait until it was time to eat, of course Pia didn't want to stick around. She would always wait by the door in the gym for Rosie, AWESOMEO, and Lucien to return. ATR could always be found in the library with Samantha and Sardines, Clementine would help you or be with ATR.
Sammie didn't like her placement because Quinn was just plain crude to her.
You didn't really know how Kara felt about her placement since she never came in to eat and when she did it was just something small and then she was gone.
"Sirena, hurry up. Keep going at this rate and we'll all starve." you hear Matt behind you, rushing you to finish.
"I can't hurry up unless we don't want good food..." It was always the same thing and it's only been two days. Matt radios in for Katherine to bring ATR, Clementine, Sardines, and Samantha. "You said it yourself, the food isn't ready! Why are you calling them in?" You cook furiously.
"I'm going to let those ladies feel the disappointment." That was another thing. Matt abusing his power.
ATR, Clementine, Sardines, and Samantha arrive just a few minutes before the food is done. You rush the food out to them run back in the kitchen to turn the stove off. You hear Matt laughing behind you.
You could probably convince Snick to get Rosie and Sammie to leave, Rosie could probably get AWESOMEO to go, AWESOMEO could get Kara, and Kara could get ATR and Pia. You could just do it the easy way and talk to Snick and Kara since they were the most influential.
You rush out of the kitchen and run to the gym where the two could be found. You see Snick grab Kara's wrist, turn her arm, and push her arm. She lasted longer than you did before she goes down, Snick helps her up.
Snick takes notice of you. "Oh uh food's ready." Nice one... Snick nods and goes to the cafeteria. Kara walks past you, you run after her. "Wait up!"
She leads you to a locked room, she looks around for any of the leaders, only spotting you. "Come on." You go towards the door which opens from the inside, she slips in and pulls you in with her.
You see three people, two men and one woman, the woman hods a baby that looks like Samantha. "These are people? Who are they?"
"Oh, I forget that you weren't with us when we were brought here... Well this is Brian, Richard, and Lana and you already know Samantha." Samantha? But then who did ATR have?
"But doesn't ATR have Samantha?" Kara chuckles at the mention of Samantha.
"We have a system here. ATR has two meals a day, getting enough food for herself, Sardines, Samantha, and Clementine but if only Samantha gets fed then her sister, Madilyn, wouldn't get fed. ATR comes down here for every meal and switches out the twins so Madilyn is getting fed right now." That was a pretty good way to work around things. "Only Katherine knows that these people are down here."
She takes a minute to finish talking. "Everyone here is looking for someone else. Brian is looking for his girlfriend, Richard is looking for his brother, and Lana is looking for her best friend."
"But how did they get in here?" You give her a questioning look.
"She let us in through the window." The younger man, later to be named Brian, walks over to the window and opens it, shutting it fast. "It's one of the few windows that actually opens in this building."
"There is also another person around somewhere who is scouting. Once we get everyone back together then I was going to talk Snick into letting you guys help us take Tatiana down." She had the same idea as you did.
"That's actually what I was going to talk to you about." You had so many questions. "But who is your scout? How do they not get seen by Tatiana?"
"He's not been seen because he's smart about where he goes and he's also had previous work on the force, that might have something to do with it." She is interrupted by a small knock on the window, they all face the window.
Kara stands up and does a hand motion, everyone gets down. She opens the window and backs up. A man comes in with a woman following behind him. "Welcome back, Katie." Kara smiles and hugs the woman. The man heads right for the window again. "Cole, no more. You need sleep."
Lana looks out the door and opens it as if someone was coming in. Clementine, Pia, ATR, Sardines, and Madilyn come in. Pia holding Madilyn and ATR holding Sardines. Lana shuts the door and hands Samantha to Katie.
Katie's eyes well up with tears as she holds the infant in her arms.
"Most everyone here is united with someone else." You walk over and stand next to Kara.
"Pia and Richard are cool with each other." Pia looks at Katie and Samantha while leaning on Richard, who had his arm on her head. Just like a brother and a sister.
"ATR has been taking care of Sardines since the kid was born." You look over at ATR who was cradling Sardines, talking to the baby.
"Cole made a promise to Clementine's father that he would take care of her." Clementine hugs Cole and goes with ATR, Pia, Sardines, and Samantha towards the door.
"So you know us, but you never told us who you are.." Brian looks over to you.
The radio that you were given to let the "overlords" know when it was time to eat goes off. "Sirena, I don't know where you went but you need to get back to the kitchen now." Matt's voice seeming slightly agitated.
"That means I need to be on the wall. Kara goes for the door, holding it open for you. The two of you leave the room and go to your assigned locations.
Once you reach the kitchen you see Sammie and Rosie waiting for you. "Where were you?! You know we can't do anything without you being here!"
[Tell them about the group]
[Make up a lie]
AC
[James is right]
You look out into the woods and think to yourself. Maybe James was right, not every group was as friendly as you wanted them to be, Emery was living proof of that.
As the night drew closer you and the others gather around and have idle chit chat for a little of the night. "AC, what did you want to talk to us about?" Vanessa looked over at you.
"Oh it's nothing, just a--" Kylie shushes you and points to the treeline where there was obviously a person, alive and walking around.
Sylvester and John stand up and raise their guns. "Come out, you've already been spotted!" About half a minute later a young boy comes out of the woods. "Who are you?"
"My name is Willy. My group got separated and I thought you could help but if you don't want to help then I guess it's okay but it's really not." The boy was nervous.
James gives you a look, telling you that this was your choice.
The kid could just be a scout for another group and leading you into a trap or he could actually need your help. You couldn't tell who to trust anymore but this was your choice and you hoped you knew exactly knew what to do.
"We can't help you."
"Come over and tell us more about your group."

Quote from a super far away part!
Your name is Ella. You are small and mighty. You have your aunt's grey eyes, your mother's light freckles, and your father's dark hair. You may be young but no one could hurt you.
[Tell them about the group]
"Come over and tell us more about your group."
Two new parts will be released tonight and one of them is super special to me because Hwgdhsh but they will both out a little later than usual since I'm currently not home right now and I have to go to the gym and finish typing but EXCITE
Final look: "SHUT IT DOWN!" Before she has the chance to do so, the lights go out and the noise stops. It was broken and Tatiana was probably on her way already. Just great.
What I'm going to do is post something from what I have planned and this is months ahead of the current point of the story.
Ella 11 months, June.
Your name is Ella. You are small and mighty.
You have your aunt's grey eyes, your mother's light freckles, and your father's dark hair. You may be young but no one could hurt you.
Your mother would always be holding you and would not let go for any reason.
Your father would try to give you the best that he could get which wasn't really much.
You were still so young but you could pulls any trick that your tiny hands were capable of, that might include knocking stuff over when your mother put your down or screeching when no one would pay attention to you.
Life was good and was going to get better.
Sirena (Thank you to Snickety for helping me through my block and working on this with me)
[Tell them about the group]
"I was down in the Seventh grade hallway." You think over your decision. "Kara's getting her group back together in secrecy."
"Seriously? Does Snick know?" Rosie looks around for Matt, Lucien, or Quinn.
"Only we know. She's got a few people and a scout already, I'm going to talk to Snick and see if she'll want to work with them to help us get out of here." You think for a minute. "We need to get everyone down to the classroom tonight so we can all plan something."
"I can get Snick to show up." Sam goes into the closet and begins checking inventory.
Rosie takes a second before leaving to go on the next run. "I could keep Tatiana, Matt, Katherine, Quinn, and Lucien busy."
Rosie runs out of the door and to the gym where you could assume Lucien and AWESOMEO were waiting. Quinn joins Sam in the inventory closet and Matt looks over your shoulder for the next hour to make sure you're cooking the food correctly.
AC
"Come over and tell us more about your group."
You stand up, ready to regret your decision. "Put your guns down, we're trusting this kid." John and Sylvester lower their guns and sit down. "Come on over and tell us more about your group!"
The boy cautiously makes his way towards your group until you are standing face to face with him. He looks weary as if he had seen a ghost or something.
"So, Willy, what happened to your group?" You sit on James' lap and put your elbows on your knees, looking over at Willy.
"This guy, Matt, came around and one of our leaders told the other that it would be fine but then he started to verbally harass the others and when we had decided to make him leave a woman in our group, Nina, got shot." He looks down. "When Nina died, her sister and a close friend of hers left for about twenty minutes and a fire was started."
"Who started it?" Vanessa looks at the young boy, waiting for answers.
"He tried to frame one of the women that left because she started a fire in the early days of this because of a guy who made her. She got caught by Fox, the first leader of the group, in the next month she had gained his trust and he would open up to her so she became the second leader." He seemed to know his group's history so well. "The man from her old group sent a few spies and they messed things up."
He realized he was getting off track. "Matt started the fire when the adults were out. He took off and caught ATR and Kara, Pia took the oldest baby and gave herself up." ATR, Kara, Pia, Fox. All of these names were new to your mind.
"Do you know where they took whoever they found?" Kylie looks at the boy who simply shrugs and shakes his head no. "Well then how can we help?"
"I just need you guys to help me find anyone who is still out there, after that you can leave me or help us or whatever you guys feel like doing." Willy pleads for help. James looks at you and notices your deep thinking, he grabs your hand and gives it a light squeeze, his way of telling you that things would be fine.
Everyone remains silent before John speaks up. "We'll help you."
Katie
You cradle Samantha in your arms, not wanting to let her go. The only people in the room were yourself, Samantha, Richard, Lana, and Brian. Cole left back out the window as soon as Kara left the room. He was determined to bring as many people back as he could.
"Hey, Katie," You look up to Lana. "I just wanted to thank you for helping me out of there." She smiles slightly and goes back to twiddling her thumbs.
"Who did you two see get out? You two were out of there last and you guys would probably know." Richard looks up from the Science book he was browsing.
"I saw Fox going the opposite direction as the way we went, like he had known of a place to go but never got to tell anyone." It hadn't been more than ten minutes since Cole had left that there was a faint knock on the window.
Brian looks through the window and opens it up, the smell of rain filling the room in a matter of seconds. Three people come inside the room. Cole, Dylan, and Santiago.
Cole goes for the window again."Cole, you just got back. You need to stop." Lana jumps out of her chair."You're running yourself to death!"
"I saw him.." Cole takes a deep breath. "I saw Fox but he wouldn't come with us because-" A small knock is heard at the door. Brian gets the door and Kara comes in with a Spanish looking girl.
Kara opens her mouth to say something but notices Cole going for the window. "I already told you no and it's evident that you didn't listen..."
The Spanish lady looks confused. "Just one more, you won't be disappointed, I swear."
Kara lets out a sigh. "Fine but don't get caught." Cole rushes out the window and Brian shuts it behind him. "So, anyone want to tell me why I won't be disappointed?" She doesn't wait for an answer. "Anyways, back on track. Guys, this is Snick. Snick this is Katie, Brian, Lana, and Richard." She faces back to Dylan and Santiago, not noticing them before. "And Dylan and Santiago."
"How do you keep them down here without getting caught? And how did you get them in anyways?" She obviously didn't see Cole taking off out the window...
"That's what I'm worried about. We've only been here for four days and six people have been found, there won't be any room left in like two days at the most." She looks down. "That means we all get caught and punished."
"I have an idea! The room right next door! The windows don't open but the door does. I'll run down the hall to the office and get the key." There was a key? And no one had found it before?
Snick rushes out of the room. "Okay so some of you will love over there but one person will have to stay here for hen Cole goes scouting, he can't get the window open from the outside." Kara shuts the door behind Snick.
"I'll stay here." Brian stays next to the window while everyone gets together anything they had.
Snick
You search through the main office for a key of anything when it occurs to you. The janitors had a key that unlocked every door in the school.
You leave the office and look for the janitor's office with the recurring flashes of lightning guiding you through the building.
You see a door that reads "School staff only" and look around before grabbing the handle and throwing the door open. You rush in and get grabbed by a lurker that was dressed in janitor apparel.
You try to keep quiet and pull away when you remember what you had done to Amy when she tried to kill you. You throw the upper half of your body up and grab the lurker by the neck, jump to your feet and slam the lurker against the wall.
You grab a broom that was leaning against the wall and beat on the lurker until it is officially dead.
Looking through the lurker's pockets you find a set of keys, you grab the keys and leave the closet, returning to the seventh grade hallway. You decide to not knock but to open the door and prove you got the key.
Once the door opens you hear yelling coming from down the hall and hearing Clementine continually yelling "I'm sorry!" Kara leaves the room and runs down the hall, you shut the door behind her.
Once you reach the scene you see Rosie, AWESOMEO, Sammie, Sirena, ATR, Sardines, Samantha, Pia, and Clementine. Lucien and Matt had separated Clementine from the others while Quinn and Katherine both just watched.
Matt yells at Clementine which is inaudible to you. He raises his hand and throws it down, hitting Clementine in the face. The little girl is knocked down. Lucien picks her up and throws her back down.
Quinn gets a look as if she wants it to stop but she wouldn't do anything about it. You and Kara stop at the end of the hall, where the entire thing was going on. "We need to stop this. Do you remember what I taught you?" You look over at woman with light freckles and she nods.
You run at Matt and pin him against the wall, Lucien begins to approach you but Kara does what she was told, twisting his arm and putting him on the ground. "Do you feel what you did was necessary? Do you feel good now that you hurt a little girl?!" You yell at Matt the way he was yelling at Clementine.
"Quinn! Get this bitch off of me!" Quinn walks toward you buts turn her back to you, helping Clementine back to her feet.
"For once her acts are justified. You brought this to yourself." Quinn looks over Clementine for any visible bruises, spotting nothing but a red mark on her face and a little scratch on her cheek. "Sam, let's go check for a band-aid and fix her up."
Katherine takes Samantha from Rosie and Quinn leads ATR with Sardines, Sammie, Pia, and Clementine to the front office.
Kara places her hand on your arm. "I get it, he deserves Hell but giving him payback for everything he had done before would just take too much time." She takes her hand off of your arm and you slowly pull away from Matt.
Rosie and AWESOMEO go back to the gym, leaving Lucien on the ground. "Next time you lay a hand on that little girl I will kill you." Matt leans against the wall. Sirena goes back into the kitchen, leaving him there.
You and Kara go back to the room and are greeted by looks but no words. Looks that said "What happened?" and "Who is hurt?"
You hear the sound of a bullhorn which Matt used to tell everyone that they needed to be in the same place, Tatiana probably knew of the attack already. Kara's people looked confused to all hell, they needed to know what was going on outside the room but if you left them with no answers you may not return to the room.
"Kara, tell them what happened."
"Let's just go. We'll be back"
"Kara, tell them what happened."
"Kara, tell them what happened."
