Cory reached the top of the stairs and his eyes widened. He couldn't believe how clean the hallway looked a and wondered who cleaned it. With a small smile he walked down the hall and began banging on doors. "Kee! Talliana! Gabriella! There is a meeting downstairs and if I were you I would join. Lelek doesn't seem to be in a lively mood. " He said and with that turned around, walked back down the hall, and walked down the stairs taking two at a time. He saw Andrew standing in the dining room and grabbed his arm tugging him into the living room. He smiled over at Lelek and winked slightly "They should be down any minute. " He said and took the recliner that was angled in the far corner.

Talliana knew something like a meeting was going to happen and she knew it would take a lot more to get Gabriella out of bed. With a tiny sigh she stood up and slipped her boots on. She immediately exited the room and walked a few steps to the room directly across from her. With a smile she began pounding on the door and wasnt going to stop until Gabriella came out.

Andrew took a seat in the middle of the couch and say Indian style. He liked sitting like this because it helped loosen his muscles. With a slightly irritable yawn he leaned his head back and waited for the others to arrive.

Avia didn't plan on going any further until he told her what he wanted to say. "Tell me please!" She begged. She had always felt slightly irritated when people started a sentence but never finished it. She knew that it's usually bad news and she would rather hear it now than later.

Kee came out of his room as he was slipping his eye patch on. He then went back in and grabbed his favorite dark blue/greyish hat and put it on his head before he went downstairs. He sighed and entered the living room and looked at Lelek who was heading over to her favorite corner to sit on the floor.

Mez saw her older brother and ran up to him. " Two people came and offered us all to live with them!! " she told him happly. " Don't you think that's great?! We'll have more company a-and... " Kee laughed and put his finger to Mez's lips.
" Stop talking, please...I barely caught anything of what you just said! " Kee joked to his sister.

Lelek sat in her favourite corner where the carpet had been worn away so just the wooden floor boards where there. She liked it because she was so used to sitting on hard things that they now felt comfy to her.

Shadow shook his head. " It was just a stupid thought I had... " he then smiled at her. " Glad I didn't say it though or you might of slapped me... " he smiled up at her again.

Gabriella slammed her bedroom door open and scowled at Talliana. "B****" She said and pushed past the girl and glided down the railing. When she reached the bottom she walked into the living room and took a spot next to Andrew. She hated that girl, so annoying and always bothering her.

Talliana wiped the tears from her eyes and walked down the stairs slowly. She hated how mean Gabriella was to her when she was so nice to her. Reaching the bottom step she couldn't hold back her tears and slid down in a small corner on the stairs and began sobbing into her arms.

Andrew looked over to Gabriella and smirked. "Where's Talliana?" He asked and watched her shrug her shoulders. With a shake of his head he looked over to Lelek hoping she would know to go get the girl.

Kee saw Andrew look at his sister and heard what he said. " I'll get her " he offered. " I am the only one standing up after all... "
Mez crossed her arms and looked at her brother angrily. " I know I am the smallest here but it doesn't mean you can ignore me and not say I am doing something! " she said, annoyed her brother had forgotten she was in front of him.
Kee waved a hand at her before he ruffled her hair and smiled at her before leaving the room.

When he came out he decided to check upstairs but as he went near he saw Talliana on the bottom step crying. He walked over to her and put a arm around her shoulders. " What's wrong, Talliana? " he asked, wondering if she was just scared about the zombies or if it was just some stupid girl problem...

Talliana leaned into him and tried to stop crying. "No matter what I do Gabriella is just going to hate me. I think she blames me for her brother dieing." She said through her sobs. She didn't want to leave Gabriella's brother behind but there was to many zombies and his leg was trapped underneath part of the cieling that fell from there old house.

Kee tried to carm her by squeezing her shoulders and trying to hush her. " No...she's probably just in grieving...trust me...I know the stages and I think she's just in one of them right now... " he said in a gentle voice, trying to carm her.
He really did not the stages of grieving because of two of his close siblings and parents dieing...he had to put up with his grieving and his two sisters...

Talliana nodded and wiped the tears from her face. With a small sigh she stood up and laid her hand on the railing. "Was it my fault?" She asked in a whisker. Could share of save Gabriella's brother? Did all she have to do was take a couple of minutes and help him out from under the piece of cieling? Would risking her life help anything?

Kee shook his head. " I doubt there was much could you do without dieing as well... " he smiled sadly at her. " Why don't we just go to the meeting and get what ever is going on over with? " he said to her, starting to take his arm off her shoulders.

(ugh! Why did you have to make such a sweet guy so old! )

Talliana frowned slightly after his assembly slipped away but caught her composure quickly. With a small nod she entered the dining room then the living room. She took a seat next to Lelek in her corner because she always like Lelek. Almost like a sister.

(If you want you can call Talliana Talli for short and Gabriella Gabby for short. Also Andrew Andy if you want. )

( He's not that old! * checks his age * uh...he's 29 and she's 17...now I get what you mean XD )

Kee followed her in and watched her take a seat next to Lelek. He looked around and spotted his little sister sitting near the feet of Andy and Gabby. He smiled and walked over to her, he lifted her up, sat where she was and placed her on his lap. She looked very un-dignified as he did that.
