[b]Katie - Haywood - Curious...[/b]

Emma didn't reply when Katie was talking to her. Katie's face fell and she backed away. "Okay... I'll leave you alone..."
Maybe she was too upset to talk right now. Katie left the room quietly, upset at how sad and distant Emma was. Since Bull had been taken away and Lauren was sick Katie didn't really have anyone else. She had thought Emma would be the one she clung to, but now she was feeling bad.
Katie went down the stairs and out the door. No one really noticed her. Maybe she could find something to make Emma feel better.

Outside people were wandering around. No one paid any attention to Katie. Normally she would have done something about that, but she didn't like it here. It was better for her to not be noticed. If no one noticed her then no one could stop her or tell her no.
Katie wandered around a fair bit until she approached the fence. It was really high, but Katie was sure she could climb it. Except there was barbed wire at the top. Maybe she couldn't climb it after all.
On the other side of the fence was grass and trees and...
Flowers!
Little yellow flowers were growing just on the other side of the fence! Katie raced over and knelt in front of where a few were growing in a cluster. They were actually weeds, but Katie was too young to tell the difference. To her they were flowers. She reached her little had through the fence and stretched for the flowers. She could just barely reach them. She pressed up against the fence, putting her arm through up to her shoulder, making little grunting noises as she struggled to reach the small yellow flowers.

[b]Jessalyn - House - Outside[/b]

Jessalyn took the gun and a cardboard box with dirty clothes went outside. Taking a deep breath, she entered the woods.
It took quite a while to find a decent place to wash. A lot of the water she came across was questionable-looking. It took her around a half hour of wandering around, but still staying close to the house, before she found a spot in the swamp that was away from the trees to prevent an ambush and had clean looking water.
Sitting on a rock, so she could move quicker then if she kneeled, Jess laid the gun beside her and started washing. She had no soap, but even just rinsing them and scrubbing would help with the smell and the stains.

She kept an ear out for any sounds but all she heard were birds. It was rather lonely and she wished Floyd was there with her. She wondered if he was still upset with her. she didn't like it, him being upset, about anything. But she also wished that he would not get upset about things so quickly. She had tried every way she could think of to say what she had to say without offending him and yet she had still done it anyway. 
Hopefully one day she'd learn how to speak to him without offending. Hopefully one day they would be able to tell each other anything... and everything... And hopefully, one day, she would be able to express how she felt about him. And hopefully, maybe, just maybe, he would feel the same way.
