((He was just regular army. He was, without any briefing, assigned to be S-Walker Back-up so came into the mess confused. Thanks for the welcome back! I'll read up, see where we are and prolly resume Mike-related postings tomorrow.))

((Hot damn Mike it seems you have insomnia like I do. I'm just not allowed to get on the computer past like 1 am. XD))

Faye, wriggling her fingers in front of her face bemusedly, admiring how the dappled light coming through the trees played across her hands. She felt Jake twisting in his seat, turning to look at Mia. His movements jostled her. She sneaked a peek at Mia, who was staring at her wrists, shaking.

I wonder...what's wrong? she thought, slightly alarmed behind all her feverish confusion.

[Magus00]

((Yeah, I get bouts of insomnia. Fortunately, after about 30-60 minutes, I'm able to fall asleep again. During that time I am almost in zombie mode. Reading through the fricken novel that I missed (Man, I missed a lot of cool stuff) I'll post something, I swear!))

Gavin was still tired. He was dozing, but wanted to stay awake in case something important happened. He rubbed his eyes and then it happened. He began coughing only it was worse. It made his stomach churn and it was painful. He couldn't stop coughing and the canteen was out of water.

"....cough..........cough.......Pull.......the car.............over.....cough, cough."

[raelyn]

Faye flinched, startled, as Gavin started coughing painfully. His coughing had shaken Jake, and therefore jostled Faye.

Jake was eyeing Gavin with concern, and Faye sat up suddenly, coughing spasmodically, and curled into a ball on Jake's lap. Jake, slightly perturbed, put his arm around Faye to steady her, rubbing her back. After a moment's hesitation, Jake reached out to slowly pat Gavin's back as well, trying to stop his painful sounding coughing fit.

"David," he said calmly, reasonably, "I think we may need to do what Gavin says. Everyone seems to be in bad shape."

((Sweet Mercy, finally caught up! Did anyone see AshleySix asking for a point to hop back in?))

Mike sat, unusually quiet in the vehicle. He was dimly aware of the new arrival and the sickness ailing his friends. Inside, he was fighting a mental conflict between reason and instinct, and reliving more of his forgotten past.

Mike's family, after intense pressure from the neighbors and school, relocated one year after the incident. No one could prove him guilty or innocent and what jury would convict a kid of such gruesome crimes?

Kids always pick on the new kid in school, except for the kids that didn't quiet fit in. Mike noticed this as one kid immediately greeted him and was kind.

"Hi new kid, whats your name?"

"Michael"

The kid pulled out a pen and tried to write it out. "How do you spell that?"

"I dunno."

"I'm gonna call you Mikey."

"OK."

Around this time, a local bully came to give them crap. This ended quickly when Mike yelled, "MIKEY....PUNCH!"

"You broke his nose, Mikey!"

Mike quiet enjoyed fighting from this point. Even now, every fiber of his being wanted desperately to jump out and see if grenades were better than bullets but every time, reason would look at his friends and convince him he was better off here, protecting them.

((Apologies for the double, got a lot of time to account for and my browser freaks out when one of my posts gets too long.))

While rubbing his goatee thoughtfully, he thought some more. He recalled, occasionally throughout the years, a guy in a suit way off in the distance. During then, he never made the connection. Eventually, it went away all together. After spending some time with the S-walkers, a group he now thought of as wholly ineffective after seeing the display at the factory, one mentioned that, "The more you know of him, the more he comes after you."

Even now, all he knew is it was a monster and it liked munching on kids and attacks those that know more and more of it. That could, he reasoned, explain why he was not as effected as Faye, Gavin, Mia, Terrance, and Kate. He thought he might have heard David cough, but he could have been mistaken. He was torn. Learn more, draw the monster out, and kill it but to do so would put his friends in danger. No chance. The second, wait until he was certain they were safe, drill everyone for information, then head out into the woods.

In unusual depth of thought, he thinks to himself, "If the course of my life is to change, then let it change. If this town and the surrounding forest is to be destroyed, so be it. If it is my fate to die at the hands of...It..." Mike simply chuckled to himself. "...Blank-faced motherf**ker, we got us a date with destiny."

((Ahh, good ol' Mike....XDDDD I was thinking "Wow awful serious for Mike" then I read that last line and i grinned.))

Gavin couldn't wait any longer. They were nearing the outskirts of town but he was going to throw up. And the pain of his coughing was brutal. Not even Jake who was being less hostile by patting him on the back could help the cough. Gavin reached over, opened the door and jumped out.

David wasn't going to stop the car so Gavin had to do something. He landed and began puking again. Only far more violent. It was coming with blood and his sore throat from coughing made the pain unbearable. He finally stopped throwing up, but he had made a very large puddle.

Tears from the pain rolled down his cheeks. God dammit this hurts. he thought as he layed there holding his stomach in pain. He had broken an arm before falling from a tree but this was worse.

[raelyn]

"HOLY SHIT DID HE JUST JUMP OUT OF THE DAMN CAR?"

Jake's face was pale with worry as he leaned forward, tipping Faye onto the seat where Gavin had been sitting. He leaned around the driver's seat, pulling the emergency brake and yanking the keys out of the ignition, bringing the car to a grinding halt. "Next time someone says STOP, you STOP okay?" He realized Faye has already left the car, and was sprinting towards Gavin, who was curled on the ground. God damn it she needs to stay out of the cold, she's sick! Shit shit shit this is a mess




Faye dropped to the ground next to Gavin, skidding on her knees, and leaning over the boy, who was moaning in pain. "Gavin, Gavin, shiiit Gavin are you okay? Please be okay..." The last sentence were almost a plea, as she saw the bloody mess and the tears on Gavin's face.

[GerkinMcGrimley]

((admit it that surprised all of you ))

[raelyn]

((NO DUH IT DID YOU JUMPED OUT OF THE DAMN CAR XDDDDD))

[bionic madman]

Someone leaned over David and grabed the emergency brake before David could as Gavin Jumped out of the truck. "Whos got that fucking medkit!?" he yelled as he ran out of the truck to where gavin layed. "Next times someones gotta barf just stick your head out the window". His spanish accent was starting to leak through his voice. since when did i have an accent?

Thats when the flashes happened again, a medium sized house, a black muscle car, two people laughing at another's whimpering in pain from getting a massive tatoo, a girl running into a brick wall.

((nice one Raelyn you ninja'd me))

[raelyn]

Faye, still in slight shock and feeling very dizzy from moving so quickly with a high fever, looked up at David, pointing to the medkit on her waist. "I've got it, sorry, I'm a bit out of it..."

Faye shook her head, trying to clear it, before fumbling through her medkit, on hand still on Gavin's arm. She bit her lip, not exactly knowing what would help.

((DAVE I SEE YOU MOCKING FAYE'S BRICK WALL FACEPLANT. XDD ...which, by the way, I did in real life. 8D But I don't have a huge scar, just a little one through my eyebrow. XD I'm clumsy as all hell.))
