Futuristic Brain Burger

Annie and Elizabeth talking calmly and quietly while sitting in the gym. "I think I could make myself a new arm, I just need the parts that are in the truck..." she said while looking up slightly at they came back. "Also... I could leave if you want... So that way I don't infect everyone.." she said getting up slightly. Elizabeth looked at the girl slightly before looking up at Norman and getting up as well. "No one is asking you to leave Annie..." she said softly while putting a hand on her shoulder. (@Huntrey, @DrTrollinski)
 
Norman went back into the room and looked down at Annie. "Annie, you need some rest. Hunter and Ellie will get you it bed - if you need anythin' durin' the day just call me, a'ight?" He said to her, forcing a smile.


(I'm off to bed. Night!)
 
Hunter just gave a nod, but wasn't planning on following his orders. Ann might be infected, but she was no harm to these people especially if she wasn't there. He walked back in and gave a thank you to Norman and Elizabeth before picking Ann up and heading for the room. When they entered the room he immediately placed her on the bed, taking his time to look her up and down. (@Soul OMU )
 
Elizabeth looked at Norman while hugging his arm slightly. "Come on... Let's go." she said softly and headed to their room. "Let them be alone... They've been through a lot.." she said softly. (@DrTrollinski)


Annie held onto him slightly as he carried her, feeling quite drained from what happened. As he put her down she looked at him slightly. "...What is it Hunter?" she asked softly and tiredly. (@Huntrey)
 
Hunter shook his head, "Nothing Ann, I'm just sorry I couldn't stop this from happening.". This whole ordeal was his fault, not watching her back, not stopping the leeches, and even indulging in his own past to try to wake her up. He felt selfish, and hoped that she wouldn't remember half of the events. (@Soul OMU )
 
Annie sighs softly as she watched him. "It's not your fault Hunter. I should have noticed something was up when there weren't any Runners or Walkers in sight... Also... I know it's not my place to pry... but... Who's Sara...?" she asked softly while looking up at him. (@Huntrey)
 
Hunter avoided her gaze, pushing the door close before laying down beside her. He pulled the covers over her and then himself before turning away from her. "Don't Ann.... not after today." He already had tears rolling down his cheek, a slight shake was taking over him as he tried to hold in the crying.
 
Stewart nods,


"Alright then, Clary, I think we're going to be good friends." He says, trying not to be creepy.

Stewart sighs,


"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Clary. I'm going to get some well-needed rest. Goodnight." Stewart then walks off and goes to sleep in his room.

(Okay, it seems that everyone seemed to have skipped ahead of time a bit and went to bed IC-wise; I'll write out a quick time-skip to the following morning)


TIME-SKIP - Following Morning - September 1st, 2015





The night went on after the little incident with Annie, but Norman was generally happy that she didn't pass away during all of it - she wasn't showing any early signs of infection, but Norman still wanted to be careful, especially with all the kids around - Norman stayed up a little later with everyone else, but made the effort to get Asha to bed for an early night before anyone else went to bed at their usual late times; although he probably would have been hesitant, Norman sweetened the deal with some of the stuff he got on the run previously in the day. While out on the run he picked up Asha a teddy bear which he gave to him after he took him upstairs, and then with a hug and a goodnight wish he tucked him into bed and read him a bedtime story - yes, read, not told - that he also picked up on the run. He got a large selection of books that catered all audiences at the Department, and he knew that a child was going to appreciate having a part of a normal life returned to him - Once Asha had fallen asleep Norman went back downstairs to join everyone else; he told them what had happened to Annie if they didn't know already, but he also mentioned that he didn't want everyone to get up at 4am tomorrow morning like they seemed to have been doing recently - after another hour after making some coffee, tea, and hot chocolates, he requested that the rest of the kids went to bed so that they were fit for building the fence the following morning - there wasn't any hugs or anything with them, but merely either a ruffling of the hair or an affectionate squeeze of the shoulder alongside a wish of a goodnight. It had been an eventful day, so he could imagine that a lot of them appreciated an earlier night.


Secondly he went to check on Nathan who was still dangerously ill - much to Nathan's displeasure, he stuck an IV in his arm and connected him to a fluid drip seeing as he couldn't even keep water down and didn't want him to suffer from dehydration - at least he was going to keep his body hydrated and hopefully be alright through the night; he also gave him another painkiller and tucked him into bed before wishing he and Brianna goodnight - he went around to everyone else who had began to head to bed and also wished them the best. He had some things to discuss with Hunter tomorrow anyway, and not only that, he was pretty damn tired himself; after checking all the doors were locked and everyone was safe in bed, he went and found Elizabeth and then went and climbed into bed, an arm wrapped around her while he fell asleep.

It was six in the morning. Christ did it feel better to not wake up so early - it was like sleeping in on a Saturday morning. It was wonderful; he yawned as he glanced around the cold but somewhat sun-lit room that he and Ellie were asleep in. There was that horrendous morning chill to the air, and he was only grateful that he'd made the decision for everyone to loot some new blankets and pillows for when winter arrived - because in the mornings and during the night there was nothing else keeping them warm. During the day they had the winter clothes that they'd also been instructed by Norman to pick up. He glanced around the room for a moment before rolling over and looking at Elizabeth, smiling for a moment while watching her sleep - he gently massaged her stomach area while giving her a soft kiss on the cheek. He slowly got out of bed and went down the hallway to Hunter and Annie's room - he slowly and quietly went inside before going to Annie's bed and gently setting the back of his hand down on her forehead. She hadn't turned, nor did she show any signs of doing so any time soon - with a sigh of relief he wandered down the hallway and went into the room of Clay, Asha, and Tony - after seeing that they were all asleep and some of them had undoubtedly managed to shuffle the blankets away from their bodies, he went over and gently covered any of them over again so they didn't have to experience the harsh pain of waking up to the bitter morning weather.


He was quite literally shivering himself after leaving their room; he didn't check Nathan and Brianna's room because he couldn't hear Nathan vomiting or crying, nor could he smell anything putrid so he knew he hadn't died and his body hadn't flushed out everything inside it. It was a good sign. He returned to bed and lied down beside Elizabeth, taking a deep breath of relief when he got back into the warm bed - he had probably woken her up with all the moving he'd done.



Nathan wasn't asleep, and wasn't dead either - but he was downstairs and sitting at the table. He hadn't thrown up because there was nothing left in his system; he was sitting at the table and quietly crying his eyes out with his blanket wrapped around him - they weren't entirely cries of pain - they were cries of pain mixed with pure sadness.

Noah didn't move from his place and looked at just staring at him. He didn't realize it but he then blushed furiously when he realized he was telling himself she was beautiful. " well that's good. Because i am." He said laughing nervously. (@Vaila ))

Tessa smiled at his laugh. "Lately I've been feeling more and more that life is just too short," she said thoughtfully. "What is the one thing that you really want to do right now?" she asked, looking up at him curiously. "If you could do anything, what would it be?" 
((@32sillylight32 ))
 
Noah blew his cheek with air thinking, his cheeks still pink. " i'm not sure... Something crazy and fun." He said chuckling as he looked at her. " and you?"

"I'd want to do something unforgettable," she said with a soft smile. "Something I've never done before like take a bath in spaghetti or kiss the next person I see. Or go cliff diving, I've always wanted to try it but I've never had the guts to do it," she said as she gazed up at the clouds.
 
Noah had a tight smile mentally debatting if it was the tight move to do or he was pushing it. His manliness took it over and without any warning, he pushed himself up a bit, just enough for his head to be over hers and he kissed her quickly and gently on the lips. Both were pretty chappy and dry but it didn't matter. It was a pretty quick kiss and he pulled out laying back on his stomach like what he did was totally normal. " fun and crazy." He said laughing a bit looking at her playfully.

"Not exactly what I had in mind, but alright," she said with a smile, giggling at his playfulness. She licked her dry lips and blushed pink before looking over at him. She pushed a strand of hair back from her face and turned back to the sky. "It was nice, thank you," she said slightly awkwardly before giggling again.
 
"Hey! What is that suppose to mean?" Noah said pushing her slightly with a laugh. " you said the next person you see right? Well i was here" he said smiling . " and yeah... It was. Change of ... How you say it... Pace?" He added thinking of what people usually say.

Tessa laughed. "It was a suggestion, not an order," she teased, smiling over at him. "I suppose it was a change of pace...." she said trailing off. Turning her body onto her side she leant forward and kissed his lips softly, closing her eyes. She pulled back shortly after and rolled onto her back again, her head still looking at him curiously.
 
Noah was surprised and was all wide eyes when she kissed him for a second time that day and laughed as he grabbed on his stomach rolling to his side facing her. " and that was a suggestion too i assume." He said looking at her with joy written all over his face. He knew that these little moments were too be enjoyed now because maybe tomorrow they won't even be in this world.

Nathan slowly pulled himself up from the kitchen table with a weak sob and made himself a glass of water; he gulped it down and wiped his eyes a few times as he stumbled and swayed out of the kitchen. He needed some fresh air. He scaled the stairs as quickly as he could and made his way up to the roof; he near enough collapsed onto the cold surface of the roof and took several deep breaths of relief as his head rested on the chilled solid concrete roof. After a few seconds of being dazed and his blurry sight finally being regained, he noticed Tessa and Noah sitting there; he saw the kiss and used all of his strength to scramble to his knees.


"Oh--.. Christ, I'm so-- so sorry." He stuttered, his voice slurred and his forehead coated with sweat. He tried to back himself back into the building but instead collapsed and fell forward again, his body shaking. (@Vaila, @32sillylight32)
 
She giggled, looking over at him. "It was as long as you remember that I'm in charge," she teased, grinning happily at him. She turned as soon as she heard Nathan and jumped to her feet, hurrying towards him. "Are you okay?" she asked softly, wide eyes expression her concern.
 
His answer would be delayed by several seconds. "I--.." He'd slowly push himself up into a weak and feeble sitting position; his forehead has a few steri-strips over a stitched up wound, and his forehead is also heavily bruised. ".. I'm fine--.. I'm fine..." He stuttered, his voice shaking as he bowed his head. He quickly reached up and wiped his eyes. ".. I need-- I need the painkillers--.. It hurts so much..." He whimpered as he gripped the back of his head with his hands. (@Vaila)
 
"Come on," she said softly, wrapping an arm under his and around his waist. "Let's go and see someone who can help you. I'm sure they have painkillers downstairs," she continued trying to support his weight, but she wasn't as strong as she probably aught to have been.
 
Seeing as Nathan was only eleven, he didn't exactly weigh that much but still relied heavily on her; he put one arm around her shoulders and slowly began to drag his feet along with her. ".. I--.. I think they're in the stockpile room..." He sobbed, using his free hand to continue gripping his head in what appeared to be sheer agony. (@Vaila)
