Fall into Ashes

[Ricia]

The game went on a lot like that till Death brought out lunch. It was not the biggest meal, but enough to be filling. Sage was good at stretching a meals to last longer.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat bounded to Sage "It looks great!" he praised her and kissed her cheek.


Kai smiled "It does," he said softly. He changed with Sage and Kat in the room alot of his coldness melted away and he almost looked like a teenager. Though he was still too adult in his actions they were less forced.

 

[Ricia]

Sage smiled, happy for a bit of alone time. Finally away from everyone else after all the crazy. "I'll try and stretch the 2 weeks of food out more." She told them. She looks at Kat, "Kai an I had a talk... we won't go with him. But he'll go with Edmund later."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Or Rick," Kai said "if he is willing to go out, not sure if the lives of my family mean anything to him," Kai said truthfully. He did not see why anyone would care he was sure if his father was alive he did not. "Also, after thought I was going to hit up the drug store, bandages antibiotics, such things like that could be useful," Kai was doing his habit of planning to many things at once its why his paperwork was always so out of hand.


"Boss, one step at a time," Kat reminded him.


"Its on the way, why not kill both birds with one stone?" Kai asked

 

[Ricia]

"Because you'll be traveling with your sibling." Sage told him, "You should get them to safty first."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"you know my siblings the youngest two are most likely already playing lets see who can kill the most undead," Kai shook his head it would be so like them, Ceruse is fine I wont even look for that ass, and Lilly is bright she will most likely already be gathering needed supplies like firearms and medicine and she'll look after Amy," Kai said he would not even entertain the thought of any of them being dead.

 

[Ricia]

Sage gave a light hiss, "Don't play this game with me Kai. I refuse to sit here and be fucking coddled when you won't even codle your 5 year old silbings." Sage told him, "Kat and I will make a run like that. You just get your siblings and get beck here."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai looked at her. Was she really scolding him right now. "do you want to call the shots death? I am almost sure I will win that contest,"


Kat cringed. "lets not fight... things are chaotic enough," the boy said

 

[Ricia]

Sage grit her teeth a bit, "You get mad at me for never relying on you guys... now you're trying to carry this alone. You care a lot of your siblings, but still you'd put the 5 year olds in more risk then you'd ever let me raise my pinky to. I'm willing to put my money on being more skilled then you, and with Kat I can accoplish even more. How many times do I have to prove to you am capable? Or do you think your siblings are more capable then I?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai looked her straight in the eyes "I can risk loosing them, before I could loose you or Kat, do you understand me?" he asked her his voice dark "I would kill them if it ment keeping either of you safe."

 

[Ricia]

Sage trembled mostly from anger, her fists were balled. "Iwant to help... and staying safe isnt enough... if it was enough, I would have never joined your underworld..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"It has to be enough, I do nto know this threat where it started how to stop it if we can stop it at all?" Kai said "you and Kat need to be safe and live... you must live, even if I die," Kai took her wrist "Hit me if you want to, if thats what you need to do to feel better."

 

[Ricia]

Sage closed her eyes and took a few shaky breaths to try and calm herself. She seemed like she calmed before she out right slamed her heel into Kai's foot then kicked him over before leaving the room pissed of and trying not to cry. Leaving Kat to help Kai out after she attacked him... though he asked for it.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai gasped he was not expecting to be hit in the foot Kat went to him wen he hit the ground after the kick.


Kevin looked up to see Sage looking what he could only guess was pissed off. "what happened?"

 

[Ricia]

"Classified." Sage snapped at Kevin when she walked past him into the kithen.


"I guess they were making palns?" Libby whispered.


Rick gave a soft sign before looking at Edmund, "Is it usually this intense between these two?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I've seen them both come out with bruises," Edmond said softly "They will work it out,"


Kai and Kat came out Kai limping lightly. "Rick, Death is adiment I do not go alone and I don't want to force Edmond from the traniees... are you willing to go out to get my family?" Kai asked calmly.

 

[Ricia]

Rick looked at Kai and then back out at the safe house door. He then sighed, if he had family, he would proububly go back out for them too. Why not? "Yeah. I'll help you." Rick agreed.


Libby leaned in to Kevin to whisper, "I thought Death agreed to let him go alone."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai nodded "Thank you. Death and Shadow have volunteered to go out and get more supplies, they are a good team... and Sage wants me to focus on my family,"


"They are going out there? We have supplies this thing could just blow off," Kevin said


"Or it could last and we could all die of starvation and illness," Kai said "do not question me kid,"

 

[Ricia]

"What about us? Aren't we suppose to be... I don't know, guarding you.. er, sir?" Libby asked Kai.


Rick stood up and started to pull things out of his bag. He was going to make it a bit lighter. He was backed for weeks, he was going to go for a few days.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'd be at more risk with a group, I am still ok with going alone, but, I know my limitations and I am not the strongest person physically," Kai said but he had damn good aim and was smart enough to get out of most jams.

 

[Ricia]

"Good. I'm going out there under the assumption i'm helping, not playing body guard." Rick told Kai, "But I think we should leave in the morning, when we've had a rest." He paused, "You might want to make up with your friend in case you don't make it back. Would suck if you died on bad terms." Rick pointed out.


Libby sighed a bit, at least she got to be safe in here.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We aren't on bad terms, this is normal for us he's upset... because he is worried," Kai shook his head "I have no intention of dieing, my father is still alive," Kai said the last part darkly.

 

[Ricia]

Rick shrugged, "If you say so. No one plans on dying when we go out to work." Rick said before laying down on the floor and pulling a sleeping bag out, "Anyway. I'm going to sleep some before my shift."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"There's a couch... " Kai comented to the man in the floor. He walked into the kitchen "Sage?" he asked softly.

 

[Ricia]

Sage was face first in the kitchen table, with a cup of coffee in hand. There was no tea here and Sage never drank coffee, but she was obviously trying to calm down. "What?" She asked, not lifting her head.
