"Where is Sergant Hemora?" James asked with a slight Yawn. He didn't really like Authority types.

"probably milling around in his office,and if not,he'll be out with everyone else doing things to prepare.mabey he's looking at those giant environment-killing hummer things.and dont worry,he wont treat you like he's an athourity type.he's a good guy,really.i would know,i feel the same way as you." i said,not turning around.i had happened to catch his thoughts,and figured i could at least give him some reassurance.

james sighed then set off to find this sergeant Hemora. He asked around and was sent to his office.

((Well that's alright, Eli. But I almost always listen to Orchard of Mines when I'm posting. When I first did it, it really gave me the vibe of Leon, for some reason.))
The long, painful journey to the entrance to the mall was mostly consumed in silence, except for my occasional grunts as I walked. Elsa stared down at my limping leg and murmured, "You're hurt..." I looked at her from the edge of my eye and muttered, "Am I?" I regretted the words as soon as they left my lips. She blinked once and then shifted her face toward the ground beneath her feet. In an attempt to make up for the aggravated sarcasm in my voice before, I asked, "So.. uh, how did you guys find me?"
"Well," said the woman leading us out, "I heard a pandemonium as I was passing by and came in, hoping to find some bloodsuckers to shit up. I found the girl hiding in the girls' bathroom after I hearing her crying. She was going on about 'We have to save Leon! We have to find Leon!'. I heard several aisles being knocked down and saw you dancing up the escalator with the fucker behind you. We chased after you guys, but couldn't find where you were. That's when we heard your roaring scream." I flinched at the remembrance of hanging from a jagged piece of glass that pierced my leg. I remembered every single molecule in me screaming in pain. As we exited the building, she went on, "Then we found the leech standing above you and I blew the bastard away." I nodded and let the three of us return to silence for another moment. Then I asked, "What's your name?"
"Her name is Mi Yamo Yvonne," peeped in Elsa. I blinked once at her and the woman turned to me, a smile lingering on her lips.
"Me llamo Yvonne," she corrected. "Mucho gusto." I didn't know a damn word of Spanish except for 'hasta la vista' (but didn't know what it meant) and 'grasias', but I knew that Yvonne was a name, so she probably said 'My name is Yvonne'. As for 'mucho gusto', no idea.
"So where are we going?" I asked. Yvonne sighed and said, "You ask a lot of questions, babe. Vamos a ir a mi casa." I was too embarrassed to ask what it meant, so I just decided that I was going to see when I got there.
Not long after, we approached a large, three story house. Although it was very big, it was quite shabby and ill-tended to. The only things that filled the flower beds along the house border were shriveled leaves and black shrubs. Yvonne lifted her machine gun into the air and shot several rounds. She whirled her body around and scanned the area with the muzzle of her gun. I heard grinding of wood against wood inside the house and several locks being unlatched. Out stormed a pregnant woman in a cream nightgown wielding a rifle. The woman aimed it at both Elsa and I and shouted, "¿Quien son? ¿Quien son? Who the hell are they?" I took Elsa and put her behind me and lifted my arms.
"Estás callada, hermana, (Be quiet, sister)" said Yvonne, disarming her aim by holding the muzzle of the rifle. "Son amigos. (They are friends)" The woman looked at us and smiled, "Oh." She approached us and kissed me on both cheeks. "Lo siento, amigo. Como te llamas? (I'm sorry, friend. What's your name?)" Yvonne came up beside her and said, "Hablas inglés, por favor. (Speak english, please). This is Leon and Elsa." Yvonne put a hand on the woman's shoulder. "This is my sister, Connie." She smiled and said, "Mucho gusto... Oh, I mean, pleasure to meet you."

I was under the trailer of my 915 making sure that all the air lines went where they were supposed to when I saw Sky walk up. She walked around the truck a couple of times, no doubt looking for me. I didn't like being bothered when i was working on my truck. Finally she stopped, I thought that she was going to just walk away, but she knelt down to look up under the trailer. Dang it, I thought as i saw her face pass under the lip of the trailer.
"Sergeant, there's some guy that I've never seen before that wants to talk to you. He says that it's important." I sigh.
"Fine, send him over here. Tell him that if I'm still under the truck then he is to wait until I get out from under here. Explain to him that I'm not big on being bothered. And ask him to be patient, it might take a while." I added the last part because an air line had moved pretty far from where it was supposed to. She nodded, stood up, and walked back to the medical tent. This had better not be a waste of my time, i didnt have a problem with any one here in the camp,. but if he was an outsider he had better not just be doing whatever he wanted, he is going to follow my rules, or else he will be gone.

I had walked for a little while thinking to myself and ended up back at the hotel I had picked out in the ghost town. I still had the keys with me so I unlocked the doors and went inside.

I decided to start cleaning up the place before everybody got here. I found cleaning supplies in the janator closet and started dusting and sweeping everything.
Cleaning had always helped me calm down or think. And right now I needed a little time alone.

i finished cleaning,and got the feeling that somewhere,eli was doing the same.i sighed."i hope she comes back soon.i really need to talk to her..." i felt dizzy,so i went to sit down.while i had been cleaning,kalleb had come and warned me that i might get blood cravings while i was pregnant,because the child was the child of a pureblood,and would probably be a blood drinker.i sighed again.where would i get spare blood that i could drink,and that the baby could drink when it was born? "i need you,eli.im getting scared..." i only hoped that the thought would reach her.

As i cleaned I couldn't help but to think about Ember and Gemini, and the children they would be having.

A single tear slipped down my face and I quickly wiped it away.
Would I ever be able to have children? Would I ever be able to be with Ken again? We were supposed to have been married but the outbreak hit and I was taken away.

James stood as a women came into the office, she told him to follow him to the seargent, he was not to bother him until he spoke to him as he was quite busy. James nodded then stood next to the 915 while he waited quietly. Sighing he began to whistle the song his mother used to sing to him and his brother.

I saw the man walk up to my truck and stand there, waiting for me. I could hear him whistling a song. I slid out from under the trailer on the opposite side that he was on, i grabbed all my gear that I had taken off. I made sure that I had everything on like it was supposed to be and I slung my rifle on my back. I walked around the side of the truck. i could see him standing there, he didn't even know I was there.
"I don't know who you are, I dont know where you came from, but here are the rules. You can stay here as long as you follow the rules. If i ask you to do something i would appreciate it if you would follow what I ask. If you hurt anyone I will have to ask you to leave the camp. If you do not leave, we will use force. I am usually pretty laid back, I don't like having to deal with too much drama. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me." I held my hand out to him.

James jumped slightly then turned and faced the man. He watcched the rifel while he talked then looked him in the face. "Do you have any jobs I can do? I'm pretty good at working on vehicles, I owned a chop shop before the infection." He asked standing at about face.

((theres pretty much nothing i can put at the moment...))

After cleaning eveything, the inside of the hotel looked spotless.
I had done plenty of thinking and all I could come up with was to find a cure.

I left the hotel and locked the doors again. Before heading back to the camp I would check out one or two places. First was the hardware store for some tools to fix up the new place. Second was the fabric store.

I picked out some cans of paint at the hardware store and placed them behind the counter so i could get them later and then I headed off to the fabric store and picked out quite a few bolts of fabric and thread to match. I grabbed a sewing kit and the fabric and thread and left for the camp.

When I got back to camp I put away the fabric, thread, and sewing kit before going to meet up with everybody.

ellis used his ball cap to wipe the zombie blood of his face and hands. "im lucky im still human after that close call" he whispered to himself in a very faintly southern accent. "i'll never make it to san diego if i pull that shit again" he checked the ammo for his famas and realized he was drying out, and fast. he needed to find a way around the hordes of undead if he was going to make it to san diego alive. he quickly and quietly climbed about half way up a tree to get a good look at his surroundings. he could see the san diego stronghold in the distance. he also saw a treeless ridge where, when looking down the scope of his famas he couldnt see anything threatening. if he could make it along that ridge without anything spotting him, that'd be his ticket to san diego. he dropped from the tree, catching himself on the lowest branch before letting go. then set off for the ridge.

((jsut for the record, whenever someone is talking to Hemora that has some sense of military customs, they are to stand at what's called 'at ease', The position is simply standing straight up, feet shoulder width apart, and arms behind they're back crossed with your wrists about here your belt is. http://edtech.wku.edu/~milsci/photo_gallery/2007/Activation%20Ceremony/Picture%20116.jpg i say this cause of ember saying that James was standing at about face. sorry, its an army thing, gotta have it right. lol))

I point at the 915 that had been over turned during the lycan attack.
"That 915 that has the mechanics around it was tipped over during an attack that we had a few weeks ago. They are trying to work on getting it back to where it should be mechanically. If you don't know much about a diesel engine just let them know, they will find something that you will be able to do. Now, just please follow what I have asked and hopefully i would have to see you again on bad terms." I smile and turn away, taking all of my gear off as I walk up to the cab. I set my rifle down and pick up the pistol that I always carried when I didn't have my rifle on me. I walked back around the truck to where I was before and i laid down on the ground. Right as I was about to slide up under the trailer I saw Eli out of the corner of my eye. I turned and looked at her, she had her arms full of stuff. I laughed a little to myself. That is one of the reasons that I love her, she is always keeping herself busy in some way. I wish that I could just have some time alone with her. I slide back up under the trailer and start working on the air line again.

(Don't know much about the army lolz, or cars for that matter so I'm just going to say he worked on it not discribe sorry))

James nodded and walked over to the mechanics. They gave him the sort gist of what needed to be done and he set to working on it. He didn't really pay attencion to how long he was working on it but by the time he had it up and running it was already night fall.
______________
Ember woke up and looked around. She was still emotionally and physically drained but she wanted to hold her baby.

I walk into the medical tent to check on Ember and Gemini. Ember's baby was sleeping in one of the beds and Ember had just woken up.
"How are you?" I ask her with a smile.

i looked up as eli walked in."hi.shes just woken up,but im sure she'll be hungry.and ill bet she wants to see her little one." i said,smiling warmly."eli,may i speak to you privately,when you get the chance? its important."

Once Yvonne and Connie lead us into the house a pandemonium of shrieks and clatters erupted from inside. As soon as I walked inside, I was almost run over by a group of kids sprinting down the hall. Yvonne stepped in and snapped her fingers, shouting, "Niños! Caminan! (Kids! Walk!)" They obliged for a moment, but then raced up the stairs at a rapid pace. Connie sighed and began latching the numerous locks on the multiple doors to the entrance. One of the doors was even plated with metal and hinged to the original door. Before I didn't think that they could be any more protected, Yvonne dragged a large grandfather clock in the way of the entrance. She turned around to face me and said, "You can never be overprotective when there's flesh eaters out there." I nodded in agreement.
The house was large but untidy, with nothing occupying the walls or floor except for scattered toys, papers, dishes, and boxes around the hardwood floors. As we walked on, Connie turned her head toward me and asked, "It's Leon, yes?" I nodded and she smiled, saying to Yvonne, "Él está muy chulo! (He is very sexy!)" Yvonne smacked her upside the head and hissed, "Cállate, hermana! (Shut up, sister!)" She cackled and bumped her hip against her sister's, who said, "Get off.." I had no idea what Connie said, so I just stayed out of the conversation.
When we arrived in the living room, I finally understood why the house was so large. I saw a group of about twenty people gathered around in two huddles. The majority of the faces were young and Hispanic, but there were several older people and several of different race. One teenager was facing their group and making wild gestures while the people in the group shouted out things like: "Dancer! Ballroom! Cane! Baton!" Once 'Baton was sounded, the boy turned and pulled a card from something that looked like a clapboard. Yvonne huffed and said, "Oh great, they are playing Guesstures again..."
"Oh, I love that game," said Elsa. "It's a lot like charades." Yvonne smirked and said, "Well, you'll love it here. We play it all the time."

Ember smiled at Eli and waved then reached over and picked up her baby. She had a name picked out but she wasn't sure how it would sound. "Felicity." She said softly as the baby, it blinked and cooed softly.

I smile at the mother and child then turn to Gemini.
"Would you like to join me for a walk?" I ask gemini as I gesture towards the door. If she needed to talk to me then outside would be better than in the tent.

i nearly died wen i heard the name."thats beautiful! and she already knows her name! oh,so cute!!!!" i squealed as quietly as possible.i had always loved babies,and this one was just adoreable."ember,are you going to pick godarents? and what will her last name be? i can make clothes for her if you want,i used to help my mother do that all the time." my eyes glazed over as i remembered nostalgic times of innocence.

"Umm...Well Eli is definatly her Godmother, she was the only person who helped me when I changed." Ember said remembering that day when she first arrived. "And, depending on wither we find Felix or not will decide what her last name will be. For now, this little angel is just Felicity." She said kissing the babe's head.

I blush and turn away when Ember says that I would be the godmother.
"I really don't deserve that Ember"

"No, you don't, you deserve so much more. You stood by me, even when I did something incredibly stupid and gave up home that I'd ever be found. You saved my butt one to many times." I say honestly, not holding back any emotion as I explain how much I charished her.
