(( I've been seriously neglecting this board recently, but yeah, Alison's there. She's following you guys around and reacting accordingly. XD ))

Alison nodded. She took off her pack and set it on the floor, strapping her carbine into it's place at her hip. She was pale, and scared-looking, but she set to work scrounging for planks to board up the windows with.

Moving into one of the upstairs rooms, she paused to look at a section of wall with a large black O that had an X through it spray painted there. "..." she gulped, and made her way back downstairs, something about that mark worried her, and she coughed on her way back down.

(geez when I heard you guys were fast I didn't think you were THIS fast)

Jake started running in the direction of the noises. He was pretty sure he heard some shouting which meant someone must of been in trouble or maybe even calling out for other survivors to some sort of safe haven. He hoped there would be some sort of medical aid for him. He stopped for a moment to catch his breath and see how the wound was doing. He let go of it and saw his sleeve still grow more wet and warmer with the continuous stream of blood that felt like it was pouring out from the wound. He winced and then gripped the wound with his hand again and resumed running. An old factory was coming into view and that seemed to be where the noises were coming from.

He let go of his wound for a moment so both hands could grip the iron pipe he broguht with him for protection. He had a feeling that if those were real people in there they may be scared. And someone randomly barging inside thier hiding place make make them jump and attack him. So, to prevent this, he banged on the walls of the building as he came closer to the entrance. Yelling a greeting may of been better but his voice seemed lost to him for some reason.

Mia froze when she heard the banging on the outside of the building. Slowly, she peeked over her shoulder, looking around at the rest of the group. "What was that?" she asked in a loud whisper

[raelyn]

Faye accepted Gavin's gun, flicking the safety on before sticking it through the loop of her belt. She gave Gavin a tired smile, then told him, "I understand. You have ALOT more to deal with right now than I do. But hey, if you need someone to live with after this is all over, you can hang out with me, 'kay? I've got plenty of extra room in my little apartment. I just kinda rattle around in there, and I've been looking for a roommate anyways." She gave him a pat on the back, then said, "I'll be right back, I'm going to go check the other rooms for boards or something."

Fighting to keep her eyes open, she turned away, peering down the hallway leading away from the room they were in. She spotted a flashlight under the cot, and grabbed it as she passed by, intending to check a few rooms she'd seen down by the other end of the hallway for things to board up windows with.

Her Converse's rubber soles squeaked on the floor as she approached the first door, turning on the flashlight. Tugging on the door, she found it was solidly locked. She smiled to herself, reaching up to pull two bobby pins from her hair. I knew these would be useful someday... she thought, kneeling down in front of the doorway. Before starting to work at the lock, Faye look up and down the hallway, just to verify it was still clear.

She looked up, eyebrows raised, as she heard the same banging the rest of the group had. Hearing Mia ask a question, she stood back up, sticking the bobby pins back into her hair. What the hell is that?

((Finally, Link. I TOLD you we moved fast! )

Mike was not one to talk things out. Mike was more the one to work things out with brute force. However, he tried to humor the guy asking about his past. He just finished when he heard a pounding.

"WHAT THE F**K? D**nit! Get me mah gun!"

[raelyn]

Faye smiled, hearing Mike calling for "Natasha". Typical she thought, trotting back towards the main room they'd all gathered in. Her eyes fixated on the entrance, and she moved forward hesitantly, until she was a few feet from the door.

She turned, looking at the others. "You think it might be another person?"

[Renren]

"Is someone there?" Mia yelled, taking a gamble, running back towards the group of people. She didn't want anyone to give Mike back his gun, and chances were that if it was something malevolent it already knew they were there. They hadn't exactly been quiet.

"If someone's there, say something, we have guns," she shouted towards the door.

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin smiled knowing that Faye understood. Then he heard the banging and everyone going crazy. Gavin was in thought though

Banging? Why would anyone warn us if they were going to attack? Gavin slowly walked to the door and opened it. He ignored everyone calling him crazy as he looked around and saw someone holding there arm and walking over to him. He ran forward to help him into the factory.

[raelyn]

((Sibling reunion....imminent. *cackles*))

[copperclock]

"If it's banging, it probably isn't, you know... IT. I don't think it would need to bang to get our attention." Alison moved towards the front of the house and called out. "HELLO? If you're a person, please respond to me!"

[Chris White]

Jake was only a few inches from the door now. He stopped banging on the wlls and now thought of a better way to show he wasn't a threat to anyone. Since he was close enough to the door he decided to stick his non-weapon holding hand so that it would show past the door. He inched closer and could feel the hand and himself get just a bit weaker because of blood loss. He put his leg out a few inches infront of him show it would be seen in the doorway and he let his body slowly follow it. And just like that he finally let his whole body get a bit more relaxed and rest on the right side of the door way. He looks inside and saw a sight he thought was a hallucination. His sister faye staring at him through the hallway. He stood there speec hless for awhile jsut starign at her trying to find out if she was jsut some sort of trick his mind was playing on him then finally he just asked or rather, demanded ".....what are you doing here?!?"

(oh geez alot of posts before this one...uhhh if anyone made some sorta real contact with me sorry if it seems like i ignored you xD)

[raelyn]

Faye's greenish eyes widened, and her voice caught in her throat. She coughed a few times, before choking out, "JAKE!? Is that YOU!?"

Her knees felt weak with relief, and happiness. Shaking, she flat out ran, nearly knocking Jake over as she jumped at him, hugging him tightly. "I think you were dead, you idiot! Why the hell didn't you pick up the phone! I'm here because I was looking for you!"

Thank god, he's okay, thank you thank you thank you... She hugged him one more time before finally letting go, realizing standing around in the doorway probably wasn't the best idea. She turned sheepishly to the rest of the people, clearing her throat, "This is my brother, Jake."

[GerkinMcGrimley]

((I was the person who helped you no biggie though

Gavin grinned, he had helped Faye find her brother. He walked over and held out a hand to be shook. He couldn't help grinning knowing he'd done something right.

"Hi, I'm Gavin. You must be the lucky Jake we keep hearing about." Gavin looked him up and down. "You don't look very lucky with an arm like that." then a jolt of pain in Gavin's stomach. "Excuse me for one moment." He walked upstairs and threw up. Then he glanced at the wall and his grin disappeared. An "O" with an "X" through it. It was very troubling and made him want to collapse. He ran downstairs and caught his breath. When he tried the coughing began. It was getting worse. He walked back into the room to Faye and her brother. He was definatly in need of medical help. He wouldn't let on this time though. He was focused on Jake's arm.

The moment of fright and panic passed just as quickly as it appeared, and Terrence couldn't help but laugh quietly to himself. They were all so paranoid, they were forgetting to think about the fact that there was a world outside of the factory.

After listening to Mike's tale and becoming interested in Faye and her brother's reunion, the white-haired man slowly shuffled over to the two of them. His gait was strange and appearance-wise, he was awkward looking and odd. But he tried another smile out.

"H-hello, Jake...nice to s-see you did s-s-survive." Stickin ghis hand out for a shake, he coughed slightly, and scratched the back of his head with his other hand.

This gave him a bit of hope, but the thought was quickly dispelled as Terrence's stomach growled loudl. His pale face lit up red, and he appeared embarrassed. "Um...s-sorry..."

[Chris White]

Jake almost wasn't able to recover from the suprise of being hugged but after a second or so he regained his footing and his mind actually registered what was happening. He almost felt his eyes watering but as he wrapped his arms around his sister he took a deep breath andsqueezed her back. The stranger who held his hand out towards him got a rather cold stare back. He noticed that these people seemed to be part of whatever military force that decided invading his hometown was a good idea. H just stated "and you must be part of the group that ended up giving me this wound in the first place.." he said making a gesture at his wound. He glanced at faye who he guessed would probably silently scold him for giving the people who wanted to help him such a cold greeting. But he didn't trust these people and now that he knew faye was here he ahd to focus his attention to making sure they both got out of here alive. He turned his head towards faye "why are you and these other people even hiding here? you..." he cleared his throat of any hint that he doubted he was going to make it "WE should all be getting out of here..."

(by the way the cold stare and statement was at gavin and terrence)
