Fall into Ashes

[InsaneTruth]

Kat hopped in landing a bit oddly but on his feet. "Hurry down," he told her he had followed her form the tunnels were a familiar place he was fine down here. He hoped she could shut the hole at least a bit to keep walkers out.

 

[Ricia]

Sage started to go down and started to close up the hole. The walkers were getting there faster and she luckly closed it as one collapsed loudly on top of it. Sage gasped and fell over, crunching could be heard from the bags.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat looked at her startled "You ok?" he asked her offering her a hand.

 

[Ricia]

Sage took Kat's hand before pulling out a flashlight. "Yeah.. it was just really close" Sage told him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Lets not do anymore really closes," Kat said and watched her flick on the light "I'll take the rear,"

 

[Ricia]

"Ok. Let me know if you need a break. We can afford them." Sage reminded him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

'I will," Kat told her and let her lead. He was ready to get to the safe house big time.

 

[Ricia]

The walk was really just the hour long one they took last time in mostly silence. Sage checked on Kat a lot more then he proububly wanted her to. Finally they made it back. Getting out was a bit of a challange.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat followed her though he had issues getting out too. Edmond led to Sage from the window saying he had her covered.

 

[Ricia]

"You guys look like shit... what happened? We were worried!" Libby said when they came in. Then she saw Kat and she looked horrified. "Oh my god... He was bit."


"Calm down.. it's bee more then 24 hours since then... he hadn't transformed." Sage said putting her hand out.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Kai found others who were bitten and didn't change too," Kat assured Libby.


"God... I'm not sure... could be a deleayed reaction," Kevin said and got smacked on the back of his head


"Stop jawing and help them unpack." Edmond ordered.

 

[Ricia]

"We have several survivors. Says Kai... so much so... that Kevin, Libby.. I'm sending you two out tomorrow morning to get more food, meds.. anything at this point." Sage told them.


Libby bit her lip. She didn't want to.. but death was telling her to.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Edmond looked at Death "she's not ready to go without a skilled hand I'll go with either her or Kevin to get more supplies,"


Kat sat down and rubbed his eyes they were beginning to hurt.

 

[Ricia]

Sage glance at Kat, then back at Edmond, "The manholes are hard to get up... I don't see why the three of you can't go. We are now in an emergancy status now... so they'll have to learn on the field."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Sage, you were a rookie once to you know," he told her "Can... we go get some... water?" he asked her.


Kevin glared at Sage he did not like Death one little bit.


"You might be Kai's right hand, but you are not him," Edmond warned Sage.

 

[Ricia]

"I know. I know I'm not Kai. But things have to get done... I'm sorry if I'm seeming harsh. I know you are right Edmond. It's dangerous out there... I mean look at me and Kat. We came out like shit.. but we can't just hide or coddle everyone. We all have a learning curve to hit." Sage sighed, "I haven't slept for a little more then 24 hours... cut me some slack." Sage said with a sigh, pressing her hand on the bridge of her nos. "Edmund right." Sage said before putting her sutff more and rubbing the bridge of her nose.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat feeling completly ignored stood up to find the tap on his own mostly to see if it was still running. Secondly to flush out his burning eyes. Watching him stumble was humbling for anyone who knew the boy.


"I know you and Kat rest, I'll go out with Libby and Kevin will give you a rest it's his watch," Edmond said

 

[Ricia]

Sage watch Kat go and she sighed and leaned down and dug in the bags before getting more antibiotics. "Look I'm sorry." Sage said again before turning into the kitchen, "Kat.. here take some more."


Libby figited a bit and looked at Edmond and Kevin

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat smiled "are we even sure I'm taking the right drugs?" he asked sage.


"What is it Libby?" Edmond asked

 

[Ricia]

"No... but.. these help when you got a cold.. or.. something right?" Sage asked.


"I'm scared... but.. they survived... and we gotta prepare for the other people. We are trained... these people cant defend themselves." Libby said, "I"m scared.. but.. ill have a better chance then other people."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"You will," Edmond told her "and we know now not all bites are fatal,"


"I don't know," Kat said honestly "Kai does it for me,"

 

[Ricia]

Libby nodded a bit before looking back at the kitchen, "You really stood up to death..?" She whispered to Edmund.


Sage sighed and leaned down on the ground and put her head on her knees, "This is just a disaster..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat looked at her. "It's ok," Kat said and knelt beside her "I'm alive thanks to you," he said to try and cheer her up.


"I stand up to KAi's father death is not neer as frightening," Edmond laughed

 

[Ricia]

Sage sighed, "Those people in there glare at me like no ones business." Sage said, "And when Kai gets back hes going to yell at me for screwing up... I'm happy you're alive Kat." She reached out and grabbed a few of his fingers.


Libby bit her bottom lip a bit, "Are we not going tomorrow then?" She asked, wondering if they were going to ignore an order from Death.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We are only because we have to, if Kai ibringing people we will need the supplies badly." Edmond said.


"He'll fuss we didn't tell him... he would never think you screwed up," Kat told Sage.
