Heidi let out a sigh. Benji certainly hadn't been this straightforward before. She supposed it was her fault, making him grow up too fast.

Joey sighed as he walked over to the house, before repairing it.

He then turned around, and gave some instructions to the nearby villagers to check around, and make sure everyone was ok.

A bunch houses were damaged by the earthquake, caused by the cow, so he was going to be a bit more busy today. That wasn't even mentioning training, and periodically checking on Erika.

He was a really busy person, who couldn't afford to take too many breaks, especially considering recent events.

Sara sulked in the room she was in. She felt like a prisoner, and was growing more afraid as she thought about what these people would do to her.

"You ready Benji?" Tom finally asked, not wanting to sweep the carpet from under the boy's feet. He decided he'd let Nathan and Benji have their little spat when they were safe instead of postponing it.

After having three rolls and now holding a fourth Erika headed for the Church to check on a the kids. Many of them had already been given to temporary homes if they were too young or weren't with siblings, but others like Al and Josh still stayed...

Erika decided to check on Sara's room first.

Sara heard someone approach her room, and quickly gripped the knife in her pocket.

by MrMissMrs Random Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:06 pm

Erika knocked. "Can I come in?"

Benji sat down on the chair, before nodding. "Yeah," he said simply, retreating back into the corners of his mind.

Elena looked over at Simon, rather ashamed that she had to be so weak in front of him. "C-Can you help me back over t-to the bed?" she asked, pushing herself to her feet again, though wobbling.

by MrMissMrs Random Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:32 pm

Simon walked over and held Elena up by wrapping and arm around her waist and pulling her to the bed.

by Book the Hero Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:35 pm

Sara was silent for a moment. "...What do you want with me?"

by quackers are yummylicious Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:35 pm

"Th-Thanks..." Elena mumbled, sitting back on the bed, rubbing her eyes.

by MrMissMrs Random Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:36 pm

"I have food." Erika noted the roll in her hands. "And you won't coem out and eat with everyone else."

---

"Your welcome." Simon sat the tray beside Elena and moioned for her to eat.

by quackers are yummylicious Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:39 pm

Elena nibbled half-heartedly on the food. She felt sick to her stomach, and didn't want to eat anything, but if Simon thought it would be good for her...

by MrMissMrs Random Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:40 pm

"When was the last timeyou had a meal?" Simon asked.

by Book the Hero Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:42 pm

Sara was silent. "...You can come in." She said, still gripping the knife.

by MrMissMrs Random Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:44 pm

Erika opened the door and walked inside. When she saw Sara she frowned. "...When was the last time you had a bath?"

by quackers are yummylicious Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:45 pm

"A...A couple days ago..." Elena admitted, continuing to eat slowly.

by Book the Hero Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:47 pm

Sara was quiet as she tried to recall. It wasn't till three minutes later that she replied. "...About...two weeks ago...?" She said.

She spent most of her time running, and avoiding people, so bathing hadn't been a concern for her.

by MrMissMrs Random Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:50 pm

Simon sighed. "Then take small bites. I'll get you some water..."

---

Erika's eyes twitched before groaning. She tossed the roll to Sara. "Eat this, I'll be back in a few minutes."

by quackers are yummylicious Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:52 pm

Elena nodded, continuing to eat quietly. Where was Erika? She said that she would spend more time with her... She was sick, right? So why was Simon taking care of her and not her mother-figure?

by Book the Hero Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:53 pm

Sara frowned as she caught the roll, confused by what Erika said.

Her eyes then widened in Fridge Horror. No...no, she couldn't be...!

by MrMissMrs Random Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:56 pm

Erika noticed Simon at the well. "Is Elena awake?"

Simon nodded. "She's eating right now."

Erika sighed in relief. "Good. I just have to deliver this then I'll be back home soon. Tell Elena that, okay?"

The black haired boy nodded. "Alright."

----

"Erika will be back soon." Simon told Elena when she brought the girl a glass of water, and set a jug on the floor.

---

When the door opened again, Erika carried a bucket of water, a towel, and a bar of soap. "I brought you some things to clean yourself with."

by Book the Hero Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:58 pm

Sara just stared at her, and then at the bucket. "...What's the catch?"

by MrMissMrs Random Fri Mar 23, 2012 10:00 pm

"...That you don't reek and save my sense of smell?" Erika deadpanned, setting the stuff down. "Please clean yourself before leaving the room. If you have anything to discuss then ask people for Erika." With that, the woman left.

by quackers are yummylicious Fri Mar 23, 2012 10:01 pm

Elena nodded, slowly drinking the water while she ate her food. Erika was too busy for her. Everything she seemed to do looked tired.

by Book the Hero Fri Mar 23, 2012 10:05 pm

Sara stared at the bucket and the cleaning supplies with suspicion.
