Name: Emily Lysanda Age: 17 Gender: Female Image: Her brown hair was once black, but was cut short when one of those infected by the flu grabbed her hair and, in a moment of blind panic, she cut it loose. Emily's eyes are a dark blue with a ring of lighter blue around the pupil. [x] Other: Emily's best friend was killed by the flu, so she's a little hesitant to trust now, seeing as before she died her friend was the one that grabbed onto her hair in an attempt to keep her still and kill her.

Emily pressed herself against a wall, her breathing heavy. She swore, over and over and over again, letting the same word press against her lips, tumbling from her mouth to crash against the floor.

This sucked! She hated not being able to trust anybody. Her nerves were on end, and she couldn't help but jump at every little sound.

Slowly Emily looked around the corner, blue eyes wide in fear.

Nothing.

With a sigh, she slid to the floor, thankful for small miracles.

Suddenly she noticed someone walking it the cave Tarrin had came out of, startled she whispered "Someones going to get Eboneen" She run until she filled that frame of the entrance of the cave. " I suggest you...." she muttered. Seeing his face she stopped. his sillouette, was... familure. She started to go on, " Who are you and why are you? Tarrin is coming he's going to... I don't know what he's going to do but... " She desided she should stop, if he was infected he could killed her too.

Hatiru Quickly followed after Madilyn and Tarrin. Kiri quickly glided after him. Kiri had always been delicate at everything she did. When she ran, you could barley hear her faint footsteps. Hatiru slowed when he saw Madilyn stop. "Is everything Okay?" He whispered.

Kiri looked at the male Madilyn had bee looking at, scared to death of. "... Hes infected..." Kiri said quietly, closing her eyes.

Glancing back a Kiri she whispered " Kiri, go find your brother. Stay with him, he will protect you. I have know one left to love, if I die, I won't regret it. " Slowly she walked toward Oliver evevry few seconds looking back to see if Kiri was leaving. Looking at his face she stopped for moment. 2 steps away from him she said " If you must kill someone, kill me. Everyone I know is alread dead. Eboneen's love would be devastated if she died. After all, I would rather be killed by you, then any other flu victim because your right here, right now, not later, I could go to see my family sith only the price off a faint scream. Your choice. " She liked the way he looked. She was hooked on him, in love. But he, the very person infront of her, would could kill her... any moment now.

Eboneen looked up to see a boy coming toward her little cave, "Uh oh." Suddenly Madylin was standing in front of the cave. Jumping to her feet, Eboneen forced her way out, "Woah there, nobody is killing anybody here." She said, pulling a knife out of her pocket. Holding it toward the boy she asked, "Alright, are you infected or not?"

Tarrin had not noticed the boy standing outside his little hole until Madylin rushed over there. He could already tell he would be too late to get there in time to help if they were facing an infected.

Standing there, not knowing what to do, her whole life flashed before her eyes. Lolipops, pool parties. Her sister, her brothers. After what seemed like for ever the image in the back of her head sped up to the flu part, blood, death, running away. She had too much to do to die right now, her life shouldn't end. What if her sister was out there. Without Madylin her sister could die, if she wasn't alread infected, and her mom... Anger felt her mind. " HIM! " she shouted. Whoever gave it to him - who it to who gave it to him - who it to who gave it to him to who gave it to him, and on! All the people of his kind, the infected. It was their fault, her brothers were dead, her father was dead. " YOU GET OUT, NOW. YOU MAY NOT BE THE STARTER, BUT YOUR KIND... YOUR KIND... " She burst in tears " ... killed my family " she muttered softly. She was fuming mad, deathly mad...

She was passed out. To much excitment, to much death, to much heat, to much nevrousness of dying at that very moment. It was to much. She looked as if she was dying, for no reason. In a state of shoke as they call it. Her family was actually dead, it wasn't a dream. Her life flashed before her again, over and over. She woke up, from fainting, now she was only dreaming, not fainted. Like a nightmare it haunted her in her dream. One that she wanted to end, but couldn't force herself to open her eyes. For she knew. Oliver, was still there.

Kiri Stood defiantly under Madilyns words. Hatiru looked at his sister as he walked up. "Thats been the longest sentence Ive ever heard you say in a long time. "Yes..." She closed her eyes. Hatiru looked at his sister "Kiri? Are you in pain?" He asked frantically as she collapsed. She got up, looked at Hatiru ,and ran away. Her sudden wish for blood was unmistakable.

After a long time she lid her eyes open. Silently scuting back she scuddled out of the cave. She was probably infected too. Panting by a rock she vut herself and dropped the blood of the ground. No reponse. Maybe she wasn't infected. Before the scientists were infected they said any drip of blood could tell if you were infected. But they were half-luny. She saw Kiri pass the rock, Hatiru walkind far be hind. " KIRI! " she yelled wanting her attention. " THE INFECTED ISN'T COMING, I SNUCK AWAY, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FROM YOUR BROTHER? " Something was wrong. Really wrong.

Eboneen glared at the boy before her for a moment longer, searching his eyes for any sign that he was prepared to kill. "I asked if you are infected." She said in a slightly softer voice, "And I want to know the truth."

Tarrin stared at Kiri and knew one thing, "Hatiru, I think... I think she's been infected." It was hard for him to force out those words, but he did.

ooc: watch the language Hotaru, remember the rules.

bic: Eboneen glared at Oliver and raised the knife a bit more, "If you're infected then what do you want? Are you here to kill me like the others?" She sounded confident, but her eyes told otherwise.

Tarrin's eyes flashed quickly toward the direction Eboneen was, but a loud yell drew his attention back toward the main city. It was the sound of a terrified child. Making a hard yet quick decision, Tarrin took off toward the screams.

The twelve year old boy was completely surrounded. All of the infected ones around him carried guns and all he had was a small stolen pocket knife. "Leave me alone!" He yelled again, backing against a wall, knowing this was probably it for him.

ooc: the new character is:

Name: Scipio Age: 12 Gender: male Looks: Scip is short, about 4 feet at most. He has dirty-blonde hair and green eyes. His face is always darkened with dirt and he wears very ragged clothing. Scip is very thin but has a muscular figure from having such a hard life. He usually wears the hat he found in an old trash can. History: When he turned seven his parents kicked him out onto the street. He was told he would be happier living as a street rat than with them. Because of this he is constantly stealing to survive. Of course, living on the streets has made him stronger in mind as well. He has not been caught crying since the day he was left on the street. Scip learned at a very young age that he was not to trust anyone so all the hard times he has gone through have been fought alone. This has only made him stronger both physically and mentally. When he turned ten he was caught trying to steal blankets from a small business on the outskirts of the city. He was punished severely and would have ended up going into an orphanage(his worst fear) except for the fact that he slipped away from the police and talked his way into a young woman's house. After cleaning up a bit and stealing all of her best silver and any money he could find, Scip made off into the night. Personality: Scip is very proud and tough. He's a bit of a rogue yet he's charming at the same time. He knows how to talk his way out of just about everything. although he lives in the streets, he is very happy and can be seen strutting about like he owns the place.

Kiri Heard the cries of a kid. She quietly whisked around a rock and saw a child surrounded by Infected. Ready to kill. Kiri looked frail, but she was much stronger than she looked. She picked up a broken pipe that had been sticking out of a broken wall. She held it so tight her knuckles turned white. Quietly she walked behind the heard of Infected.

Hatirus head was spinning. Questions like 'were was kiri' and 'is she infected' ran through his mind. What now should he follow Kiri or should he stay with the people and the newcomer? "Ugh! Its all so frustrating!" He blurted out

Madilyn totally forgot about Eboneen, she slipped back in the cave to defend her if needed. She came in just as Oliver made the remark about her. " Why haven't you killed any of use yet? " She replied in a confused manner. Her life had been throwen into a windwhirl before, but now... her confusion was unmistakable, spread all over her face. " I mean, not like in a bad way as in I want you to kill us all but, most people would have already killed us off by now and been 3 miles away. She had caught the 'flirting' but became serious about it and didn't reply to it, one wrong move and she would be dead, for real.

Tarrin ran toward the child surrounded by infected people. Spotting Kiri, he was even more confused. In seconds he was in the center of the group, holding his knife out toward the infected and keeping his back to the boy. "Back off you evil creatures and leave this boy alone!" He yelled, waving the knife toward people he once knew.

Scipio looked up with a scowl at the man standing protectively in front of him, "I'm doin' just fine!" He said, his voice quivering slightly with fear. "I can take them alone!" Sticking out his bottom lip he stepped back out from behind the man and held up his pocket knife again. "So there!"

"Hello tarrin." Kiri said louder than her normal quiet voice as she drove the pipe into the ground. She turned around and walked the opposite direction. She thought for a moment. Her pigtails would get in the way... of her virus. Pulling the soft black ribbons out of her hair. Her hair fell on her shoulders as she brushed them out with her fingers. "Good bye." She said as her hand urged to pull out her knife.

Looking up at Kiri, he frowned, "Nice... Even better." Tarrin reached out to shove the boy back behind him, "Don't be a fool kid. You're what, ten? A kid like yourself against all these diseased people won't stand a chance." He glanced down at the boy who had easily dodged the restraining hand. "Don't be proud, this world is not a place for proud people anymore. A little help now and then is the only thing keeping me alive."

Scipio rolled his eyes, "I'm not ten, I'm twelve. Besides, I don't need help. I've lived on my own since I was seven and I'm still alive. I know what I'm doin', you're the one who's being a fool. Look what you've done. You jumped into the center of a group of infected killers to protect a child you don't even know or even care about." Although his voice was strong, Scip's eyes showed the fear in them. He was greatful for this strange man that had come to help him, but it made him angry to know that neither one of them would probably make it out of this.

Tarrin's eyes shot to the boy again, he had been living on the streets since he was seven? The poor kid. He'd probably never gotten a real education and now he was completely alone and surrounded by people who want to kill him. "Well kid, unless we're pretty lucky I'm not completely sure we'll make it out." A pang shot through his chest as he thought of Eboneen. "But I'll do all I can to get us out alive." He was relieved to see the child nod slowly. When he looked up at the infected again they were advancing, guns raised, all of them pointing at the hearts of both people before them. "Nice..." He muttered, reaching down to grab the boy's arm. "When I get to three, we are going to run that way." He pointed to the right where the infected were thinnest. "One...Two...THREE!!"

Confused Madilyn looked at Kiri " He's not going anywhere unless it's you that is, who is going to flee and leave us alone. I'm sorry Kiri, you seemed nice but now, it's time for you to go. " She flipped her hair to look at Tarrin, counting for some reason. " Hey, why are you counting at a time like this? It's kind of useless don't you think? "

The moment Madilyn spoke, Tarrin charged forward, dragging the child behind him. Scip resisted for only seconds before he ran faster. Several of the infecteds were now shooting. "Hurry up fatso!" He yelled, shoving Tarrin forward.

Tarrin rolled his eyes but ran faster, knowing they wouldn't last long under fire. "I'm tryin kid, relax!"

{{Kiri? She isnt there anymore xD Sorry, Maybe I didnt make it clear.}}

Hatiru ran up to Madilyn. "Whats going on?" He looked around for Kiri but He couldnt see anybody. Hatiru watched as tarrin and some Kid running away from a group of infected. Kiri wasnt in the group of Infected either. "Ugh.." Hatiru nearly felt the Cheery part of him Fade away as the knowing of Kiri Infected hurt him deeply.

Tarrin pulled Scip into a small alley and stood, breathing hard. "You... should... be... more... careful." He gasped, pulling in huge breaths. "We've got to get out of here..." It only took a few more seconds for him to bring his heartrate down to normal. "They'll probably be following. Let's get back to Eboneen."

Scip scowled, he wasn't breathing hard at all, "I told you you're fat. You should work out more." He abruptly started walking down the alley. He knew this city like the back of his hand and knew all of the best hiding places. "So, where is this Eboneen?"
