[b]Jessalyn - House - Floyd[/b]

It was amazing how a man could make a woman feel while using no words at all.
The kiss was unexpected and make her eyes open wide in surprise. Then her eyes fluttered closed and she leaned closer. The kiss wasn't hot or exactly passionate. It was sweet and chaste, like a first kiss was supposed to be.
Her heart was pounding in her ears, but when he pulled away she realized there was also pounding at the door.
Floyd immediately leapt into action, pulling out his knife and ordering to stay in the kitchen. She nodded even though she doubted he heard her.

Things happened so quickly. Floyd ran out to kill the walker and the man stayed inside the house. Jess got their water bottle and was about to offer the man water when he pointed his gun at Floyd. Jess backed away behind the corner with her hand over her mouth. As he threatened Floyd she looked around frantically for something she could use as a weapon. They were heading up the stairs when she found a pan. She crept towards the stairs and was about to sneak up and hit the man when she heard the shot.
"Floyd!" she screamed as the two men came tumbling down the stairs. Fortunately she was just out of their path and didn't get hit. Jess threw the pan at the man in a panic and it hit him in the chest right before Floyd stabbed him in the head.

Jess placed a hand on her heart, trying to calm her breathing. She realized the front door was still open so she shut and locked it.
But as she turned around she was in time to see Floyd fall to the floor.
"Floyd!" she cried and ran to him. She saw the blood and started to panic all over again. "No... no! No Floyd!" she cried and hugged him, getting his blood on her borrowed clothes. "No, no, no," she kept repeating the word, unable to stop herself.
This couldn't be happening. It just couldn't. Not when they were... were...

Jess ripped the bottom of her shirt, pressing the fabric into his wound. "Tell me what to do. I don't know what to do," she begged. "Please be okay. Please!"
She shook her head in denial. Why was this happening? Just a few mintues ago they had been safe and happy and... and kissing. Why did things always go wrong? whenever she experienced a bit of happiness something horrible happened. It was like she was cursed.

[b]Katie - Truck - Audrey[/b]

Katie was scared. There were these new people now and they seemed like they wanted to help, but they were strangers. What if they were lying?
But when asked for her name she gave it automatically, knowing that even though she annoyed him that Bull would protect her if they tried to hurt her or Lauren.
When they placed Lauren in the truck bed Katie climbed in too along with the woman called Audrey. She was crying, which made Katie feel bad for her. Maybe she had lost her daddy too. It was something new and intriguing to see someone other then her crying.

So Katie moved carefully over to the woman and sat beside her. She patted her arm with her little hand. "My daddy's gone," she said. "He went away." Her eyes brimmed with tears that she wiped away. She didn't need to be crying at the same time as Audrey. It was Audrey's turn. If they were both crying... she didn't know why but she just felt that wouldn't be right.
