The feeling of Cory kissing her on the forehead was better than anything else that happened since her parents died a few weeks after Cory moving. Yes, he only kissed her lightly, but still. "Um... Well, Cory...they died. My parents...they died. Mom fell...off the tightrope and dad killed himself after that." She said, glancing down. "Si the ringmaster took me... Do this, do that." She said, trying to make the last part sound like a joke.

(Just realized Karla is like thirty years old so there was no way they could have dated while they were kids because of the shrew difference also Talliana is going to fight Lok for Kee. She Likeys him a lot... :p)

(She's 21 now! XD I was aiming for her to be 32, but changes to 23, now she's 21. XD)

(That's a lot better, LOL that would have been awkward...)

Cory pulled away and frowned. "I'm so sorry, i wish i could have been there for you." he murmured. Her saying that made him feel really bad. He wasn't there for her when she needed him the most. He let her down and now he knew he wasn't even worthy of her love.

"No, Cory. It's fine...the past be forgotten. I always thought about you, day and night. Those thought kept me sane." She said. "Though it was hard thinking about you when a lion could suddenly rip you to shreds!" She added. "Gotta watch your back." If she didn't pay attention when she was cleaning a lion cage, a lion could bite your head off...and she learned that the hard way.

Cory laughed lightly and gave her a small smile. "I understand and I didn't stop thinking about you either. After all I was at a camp filled with all dudes. I kinda wished I was gay because they were all very buff." he said and smiled wider. His body had changed so much, when he was younger he was thin and literally a walking stick but now he was bigger and had what he thought were pretty big muscles. He had changed a lot in his opinion.

( Crystal: I know Xo But he hasn't seen them and if he has they usually pick on him for being poor and homeless Xo He means nice people :3 And of course you meant 'him' XD )

Kee laughed. " Yeah...if only... " he smiled. " If only people where more kind like you...not judging others because of a fault they have... " he said before bringing up his knees again and hugging them.

Lelek's face went slightly pink from a blush. " How can I be a pretty lady? " she asked, walking through the door and looked at him. " I'm dirty, missing teeth, have quite a lot of brown teeth, messy hair...I'm way off the definition of pretty... " she said, slightly complaining. " So either someone slapped A LOT of make-up on me...or your eyes are getting bad... " she joked.

Mez looked confused. " Why doesn't Lele like it? " she asked curiously. " She's always saying she's not pretty when I say I want my hair to be as pretty as her's... " she said, incredibly confused.

( Bad Gabs! Teaching innocent Mez bad words that will get her into trouble!! )

Shadow followed her and peered inside the room. " Smell slightly bad... " he pointed out, shrugging. He then followed her in and glanced around nervously, not taking any chances in case there are zombies somewhere...

Talliana smiled and took a seat next to him. She had never been picked on before she met Gabriella. It had been here and there with Gab but it wasn't to the extreme. She couldn't imagine what it would feel like to be picked on your whole life. "Well just think of it this way, If they don't spend the time on you then there obviously not worth the time... Or something like that." She said and wrapped her arm around his shoulder to pull him in for a half hug. She didn't know why she kept hugging him it just felt right.

"Probably my eyes because what i see is a strong, independent woman standing in front of me who is smart and is raising her little sister in an apocalypse." Andrew said and stepped outside with her. He began rubbing his eyes with his hands and then taking his hands away to look at her. He did this over and over again while saying 'Hm'.

Gabs smiled and sat Indian style on the floor. "I don't know why she doesn't like that word but I do know if you say it in front of her, you'll get yelled at. Talliana doesn't mind though, she likes that word and loves it if you would call her that as a nickname from now on." She said and leaned her head back on the couch. This conversation was getting tiresome and she had better things to do then make Talliana's life miserable... Well for right now.

Avia couldn't seen much but there was this noise that sounded like something squishing in the back. she didn't know how to explain it but it sent chills up her spine. She didn't think it was a zombie because there was no possible way it could get into a locked room... Unless it was locked in here on purpose.

Kee looked at her confused. " That made...no sense... " he said. Then when she pulled him into a half hug he looked at her even more confused. " Why do you keep...hugging me? " he asked curiously, wondering if it was because she liked him or something else.

Lelek laughed and shook her head. " Doesn't mean I'm pretty... " she said. She then looked at him confused. " What are you doing? " she said, laughing a bit at him constantly rubbing his eyes and going 'hm'.

Mez giggled. " O-Oh kay! " she said, giggling again. She then sat next to Gabs and leaned her head on her. " Your soft! " she pointed out, smiling up at the older girl.

Shadow looked at the shelving units that lined the room. He didn't hear the squishing sound but was looking at what was in the storage room. To see if there was anything of use. " Hey Avia! " he said, pointing to one of the shelves that was almost in complete darkness. " I spotted a flute! Can anyone back at the house play one? " he asked curiously.

Talli turned away with a blush and pulled her arm away from him. "Just thought you might need some comfort." She said starting out loud but her voice getting weaker. It was a lame excuse and she knew it. She knew Kee would never believe her and suspect something was up. She was such a moron.

Andrew pulled his hands away and laid them on her shoulders. "Well you know what, your a princess (Bad word because of what Gab and Mez was talking about... LOL) in my eyes." He said and gave her hug. She was the prettiest girl in that whole house overall. Even that new girl wasn't as pretty. He couldn't remember what she called herself. Avia or something, but what he really remembered was her bright blue hair.

Gab wrapped her arm around Mez and pulled her closer. "You're so sweet. I wish I was as nice as you." She said and laid her head on top of Mez's. She found this little girl to be slightly comforting in a way. Always distracting her and taking angry thoughts away.

Avia didn't know, but she did want to start a band so as many instruments as they could get would be nice. "I don't know but we should take it just in case. We did just meat a bunch of new people." She said with excitement in her voice. At that moment two things happened simultaneously. Something grabbed her from behind and something appeared in the shadows next to shadow. She didn't even have the time to scream before she hit the ground...

(Zombies or people, your choice...)
