| (James) =My gun flashed, the bullet hitting Harry right between the eyes. The bullet shot out of the back of his skull in a spray of blood and bits of bone, and he fell to the ground, truly dead. I stood there over the corpse of the six year old I considered my brother, at a loss for what to say. I felt numb, both physically and emotionally. Then there was a wordless cry, a wail of pain, loss, anger. I didn't know at the time who's voice it belonged to until I realized it was coming from me, as I fell to the ground on my knees, screaming in pain=
(Sam) =I could here the faint sound of a scream, and I knew what that meant. tears started to pour down my eyes= | |

I stand there, waiting for James to let it all out before approaching. My chest seemed to ache at his lost even though I barely knew any of them. | |

| =I turn my head at the gunshot, knowing that the deed was done=
What he's going through...we'll help him...
=I then hear a faint scream, nearly placing it along with my own tortured scream I uttered two years ago. I then get near Sam, standing back a bit, not knowing what to say to her=

| Eve's clutch on Sam tightened painfully, the girl unable to so anything except silently cry. She coulsnt even give any more tears.
Hibiki was quiet. She just went quiet. | |

| (Sam) =There was a shuffling of footsteps, and I looked up to see Andrew standing near me and Eve. He kept his distance, for which I was thankful, though I still looked at him and said= "Hey...." | |

Hey...
=I really couldn't say much, I just had nothing to say. Any humor I had was gone. It was a sobering moment for everyone. I looked at the pair, my memories welling up, and sitting down on the floor=
No one should grow up like that...not even Eve... | |

| (James) =Minutes seemed to pass by as I knelt there on the ground in front of Harry's corpse. I just didn't know what else to do right now=
(Book) =I had been watching as events played out, after I got off the bus. Watching the tragedy unfold for James was difficult, but not exactly uncommon for this world. It didn't diminish his pain in any way, nor the impact it had on me. But it was something I had seen time and again. I moved to stand over by the girl, the sniper called 'Ace'= "I should speak to him. Say some words of comfort. Could you go and find his fiancee please, I think they will need each other more than ever now." | |

I look at Book and nod.
"I spotted a shovel over there."
I point to a little tool shack with a shovel leaning on it.
"James probably want to give him a... a proper burial.."
I pat him on the back and walk off to find Hibiki.

| (Book) =Nodding, I walked away from her to stand behind James.....about eight feet anyway. I may have been willing to help him in this moment of tragedy, but I was no fool= "James.....it wasn't your fault, what happened to him."
(James) =I could faintly hear the preacher's voice through the walls of my own grief. Hearing him say it wasn't my fault sparked something in me, something angry. I sat up, stared at him and shouted in anger= "Like hell it wasn't! I promised his mother that I would protect him. That I would keep him safe! And I left him here, alone."
(Book) "You left him here because you thought it would be safe here, am I right?"
(James) =Honestly, that was the truth of things= "Yeah, i thought it was safer here, and look how that turned out." | |

| The agonizing scream got my attention. I've never heard anything like that. Not even in the old movies. But I don't go looking for where it came from. No matter how curious it makes. These kids and Jennifer might need me. "Everybody alright?" | |

I look around for the source of the noise beforing turning to Tyler.
"Yeah.. lets head back to the inn."
(Allie)
I walk back through town scanning for Hibiki, more people were starting to emerge from hiding now that everything had calmed down. I walk all the way to the gates and stop, just in case I scan the area. I stop on the bus, my eyes pointing out what could be Hibiki. I walk over and stop in the door, It was Hibiki. Not knowing what to say I just stood there for a second before talking.
"Hey..." | |

| (Book) "You're only human James. You couldn't possibly have seen this coming."
(James) "Then what about God huh? He's all powerful, all knowing. Why let a child die? Why put me through that? If he really, really loved us, then why put us through so much pain?" =I was standing up now, glaring at Book=
"It's like he doesn't even care about us anymore."
(Book) =The whole time I remained calm. This was not the first time someone had reacted in such a way= "Well, you're assuming something you shouldn't assume. You believe that God sees the world like you do, but he sees everything, knows everything, at all times. That means he knows exactly what you're feeling right now. The question isn't how could he care. How could he not?"
(James) =I was silent as I considered what he said=
(Book) "Not what you want to hear I'm sure, but I think it may help. The Lord is not ignorant of your pain or indifferent to it. Trust that he will work to give you the tools to make it go away. But you must choose use those tools." | |

| "Alright. Just keep an eye open for any surviving dead." Yeah, a bit of irony in that. As are the zombies but anyway. I turn to the children. "Alright, kids. We're going to head to the Inn. Do you have any relatives you can go to?" | |

(Book) =I chuckled= "I believe in God. But I believe he gave us free will for a reason."
(James) =That didn't exactly help. And while I was on my feet, the grief I still felt was racking at me= "Thanks....at least. I'll have to bury him next to his family soon."
(Book) "Would you like me to say a few words during the funeral?" =I didn't want to overstep=
(James) "I think.....I think he and his family would like that." | |

I move froward and grab her to stop her from falling anymore.
"It's not you're fault, this was a safe place... the safest place around. No one could've known the Shepherds were coming.."
(J)
The kids nod, and I motion for them to follow us to the Inn.
"If there parents are here they'll most likely be at the Inn." | |

| I take Jen's hand. Then lead her and the children to the Inn. Because why not. I mean, we are together right? Or something else? What would that be anyway...? Friends with benefits? Well. You haven't exactly done anything like that... Look at you. Thinking about something like this in a Zombie scenario. | |

I rub her back trying to ease her.
"Things are different now... they may have lost their old one. but now they have a new family to watch over them..."
I pull her up, and support her weight against me.
"We're all family now, I guess. Now come on, let me take you to that Inn I saw."
I bring her off the bus.
(J)
I look up and Tyler smiling, and give his hand a squeeze. Then I give a frown and look away.
"One of the walkers almost got me... But that girl saved me."

I shrug still looking down.
"Its ok, you told me to wait in the room and I didn't.."
(Allie)
I walk her through the gates and into town.
"He's..... he's Book.."
I didn't want to say it, so I said the next thing I could. I walk her up to the Inn and lead her inside.
"Lets get you some rest and something to drink.." | |

| I wasn't sure what to do at this point. I never got this close to someone like this before. Or been in this type of situation. So I do what I do best with her. Just go off of old world media. Games, movies, videos. Etc. "Hey, it's alright. You don't have to obey my orders to the dot. Er... listen to me I mean. In these situations." Nice one you bumbling idiot. Talk to her like someone in the Military. Obey your orders... | |

Well, you have some nerve showing up after what you pulled.

| (Book) "Good. I believe though, that your fiancee will want to see you first."
(James) "Yeah...yeah she will. Let me just cover him up first." =Instead of covering him up, I picked up Harry's body, and carried him over to the graves behind the buildings. I found a patch of grass to leave him in, though I had nothing to really cover him with. Other than my jacket, an article of clothing I grabbed from St. Louis. Draping it over him, I walked with Book back to the inn= | |

I nod at Andrew and lead Hibiki into the room with Eve and Sam and sit her down.
"I'll be right back let me find some water."
I walk out then stop as I see Andrew getting mad at someone.

| I looked up from where I was sitting. I could hear some guy getting fairly angry, in fact so could most of us. I looked over my shoulder, and saw one of the people from earlier, that helped clear out the zombies. "This should be fun." I span on my seat and grinned, watching the event unfold. | |

My body worked of it's own accord, walking across the room to Tyler, and I grabbed him by the neck of his shirt, and shoved him against the wall= "Where the hell were you?! First you want to join us then you up and leave?" | |

| I would've had my gun ready. I could probably taken Andrew if he tried anything. But before I even had a chance I found myself up against the wall. Pinned down by no one other then James. And a guy behind him too. Great. "Whoa whoa. Take it easy there okay? I can explain." | |

I walk forward and put a hand on Andrew stopping him.
"You two need to calm it down... now! These people just went through hell, and don't need anything worse.."

"Hibiki's in the room over there... shes really upset and needs you.." | |

| I nodded, hoping this chick knew what she was doing. I looked at the growing participants and sighed. Maybe this did start of stupidly, and I missed it.
These people were so filled with fury, it made me wonder what had happened to them. I think they were the ones that came in and 'saved us' before, when the Shepards attacked. | |

"Did something happen? This seems really... sudden." I hadn't been listening really. Didn't think I'd have needed too, considering I was expecting this to be a bar fight. Some sorta... weird... husband-wife kinda thing was going on, I think. | |

I had a pretty bad feeling something was going to happen here." I take note of Andrew's threat. But I have to ignore it if I don't want my ass kicked. "And, well. Look what happened?" | |
