Fall into Ashes

[InsaneTruth]

It bounced off "What?" was all he asked.

 

[Ricia]

"You can at least thank me for the coffee." Sage said annoyed.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"thanks," Kai said

 

[Ricia]

Sage gave a glare and a long sigh, "Kat you need to get some rest." Sage said and took a deep drink of her tea, "I need to get back to work soon." This will be Kai and her longest fight on record. It was not 24 hours yet. But usually only lasted that long till they made up...

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I... don't need to... I'm sure I slept a while in th hall." it was a beg not to be left alone.

 

[Ricia]

Sage let out a soft sigh, "Do you want to be in charge of one of the bored ups?" Sage asked Kat.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"please," Kat said, "anything, I'll sit and clean guns,"

 

[Ricia]

"Ok Kat. Gather a few volentires and start the windows in the sleeping sections." Sage told Kat. "Don't do them one at a time.. do it randomly.. and slowly." Sage said.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Gotcha," Kat smiled so happy to have a job and not be stuck with Kai the man was always a workaholic but he seemed off right now.

 

[Ricia]

Sage nodded and ten ruffled his hair a bit, "But you keep resting your leg a bit first." She told him before getting up to go back to work. Sage brought Kai a cup of coffee two other times during the day.

 

[InsaneTruth]

she got a muffled thank you. So he really did remember her earlier anger but he was just working always empty galssed when she got back. Kat rested then helpped with the window boarding plans.

 

[Ricia]

Eventually the day did come to an end and Sage did come to bed with Kat this time, with dinner of course. Sage was sure they needed to launch a fix for the remaining two sections of the house that are still hosting large hordes of zombies.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'm going back through the tunnels tomorrow night," Kai told Sage.

 

[Ricia]

Sage nearly dropped the trays but was able to recover enough to gently place them on the messy desk. She then pinched the bridge of her nose and looked at Kat.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat looked at Kai "why?" Kat asked him "Why do you have to go... you;ve not even slept,"


"I need to," Kai said simply,

 

[Ricia]

"Ok fine. WHERE are you going in the tunnels?" Sage asked him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Radio room," Kai said.


"You... are trying to get ahold of other gangs?" Kat asked shocked.

 

[Ricia]

"Can you not be so fucking short worded and just tell us?!" Sage asked Kai, "We would feel a lot more at ease to know why you are running around in the sewers." Sage was going to pull out her hair, "I sware to god Kai if you are going to play this game with me, I will to. I know you don't like when I do. Because you know damn well I hate when you do this."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai stood sharply "Because I can't do everything they need me to do! Because I need help!" he told her "I'll sleep in the library tonight," he began to leave.

 

[Ricia]

Sage grabbed the back of Kai's shirt and wrapped her arms around him. "Why were you so damn adiment to not admit this?" Sage asked him. "Of course you can't take the whole damn city of zombies by yourself. No one is asking you to Kai... no one is asking you to save the world. The world has never done you any favors."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Sage that isn't true... they are asking that of me," he told her "they think I have all the answers all the power." he was trembling Kai was afraid.

 

[Ricia]

"Then lets do my plan... lets leave. Tonight.. You me and Kat. Lets go away somewhere and hide. Let them save themselves." Sage told Kai, her arms tightened around him. "They are not defenseless... Someone will take the mantle."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I can't Sage," Kai told her "My family... you both this broken underworld life, I can't abandon them." he took her hand "I can't do it and ever look you in the eyes again... Emma... would want me to try,"

 

[Ricia]

Sage let a long sigh out when Kai mentioned the soft spot in her own heart. The world could be damned to Sage and he knew it. The only reason she tried was because he tried. Sage's hand tightened around Kai in a sudden rush of anger. Not at Kai.. but at the world. They world had been such so unjust to everyone.. it had no right to call on Kai to save it. "What use is saving the world when it will only take you away from Kat and I?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"this will end... this whatever it is... will end and we will rebuild..." Kai told her "I need you both, I don't have the strength alone to even get through day by day, but I have to call for help, outside help,"
