Chloe smiled when she saw Isabella smile once again. Almost immediately her cheerful personality returned and it made her remember something she had heard once before, ‘Like water off a duck’s back.’ She chuckled slightly before taking the piece of plywood and carrying it over to the coop. While Isabella went to grab more chicken wire, Chloe found a saw and cut the wood into more manageable pieces. While Isabella held the pieces in place, Chloe nailed the pieces in, pushing on it to make sure it would stay in place. After that was done they fixed up the chicken wire and the two girls stood back to admire their work. It wasn’t professional, but it would hold and hopefully protect the chickens from anything else that came around.
It wasn’t long before Isabella took her hand again to show her around. As they walked past the back porch with the sun shining down on it, she couldn’t help but smile. She remembered back to when she was a child; a better time, a more peaceful time. Almost everyday her mother would take her outside to sit on the porch or deck and read to her. They read so much that it would barely take a few days to burn through single chapter book. She remembered how she would sit and wait on the deck for her mom to come out with a new and interesting book to read to her and how delighted it made her feel. It really didn’t matter what kind of book it was, being read to by her mother was always the best. A melancholic look appeared on her face for a moment before Isabella spoke again, causing her to quickly change her expression and turn to her. She didn’t even have time to respond before she was pulled along once again to a new place.
“Wow…” She said, staring at the beautiful water in awe. She could see why Isabella loved this place. Chloe shook her head in response to Isabella. “No, I’ve never fished before.” Chloe chuckled at her story and reaction. She seemed to be fond of Nathan, even if Chloe wasn’t, but she kept her mouth shut about that. As Isabella talked about her father, Chloe made her way down the dock, taking off her shoes and socks and rolling up her pants so she could sit beside Isabella and place her feet in the water. She shivered slightly at the temperature pulling her feet out for a moment before easing them back in.
By the time she was adjusted she turned to Isabella to see her hair tied up and she smiled. “You look good with your hair up.” She commented before swishing her feet in the water. “My sister used to love playing with my hair when it was long.” She chuckled slightly, “It was a bit of a pain and when I got it cut it took her a while to get used to it.”

Well I'm constantly signed in so... no I guess...
She chuckled as Isabella pulled her along once again. “I’m coming, I’m coming.” She smiled, shielding her eyes as they walked out the door into the bright sun. When her eyes finally adjusted she found a beautiful yard. A smile rose to her face as she slowly stepped took more steps towards the grass. “Beautiful…” She mumbled, looking around. Isabella brought her attention to the garden and her eyes widened, mouth falling out. “Wow…” She whispered, “Just wow.” She repeated louder this time, walking towards the garden. “Isabella, this is amazing.” She was at a lack of words to describe it any better.
Finally she began to hear clucking and she looked to where the sound was coming from. The coop was littered with feathers and as she walked closer she discovered that it wasn’t the best smelling either. She hurried over to Isabella when she heard her gasp and put a hand over her mouth. There was a hole in the coop and a trail of blood and feathers. “Oh no…” She whispered. Isabella seemed saddened by the discovery and Chloe made her way closer to the girl, putting a hand on her shoulder to comfort her. In any other situation they would think it was a wild animal, but now they didn’t know what it was and there was no way to replace whatever was lost.
Slowly she took her way from the girl’s shoulder and tried to give her a smile. “Come on. We should fix up the coop.” She winked and flexed slightly, “I’ll help you.” She said chuckling, trying to bring the smile back to her face. It would give them something to do and would help them in the long run. Besides, if they didn’t fix it by tonight, they would lose the other chickens as well.

Chloe watched in awe as Joan went in and talked to the boys. She wasn’t sure what she had said, but they had listened, at least to a point and were no longer playing with a dangerous weapon. She let out her sigh too early though as they quickly ran back into the room and began playing with Joan’s gun, with one pointing it at the other. She froze up with her hand over her mouth as she watched things play out. They were lucky that no one had gotten hurt but she could see that it had affected Joan negatively, though she wasn’t sure that the boys had learned anything from that scare.
There was a moment of silence as everyone just looked at each other, Joan looking down at her gun, unsure of what to say. The silence was deafening until Nathan waltzed in the door, seeming as carefree as ever. No one answered his question, as one wouldn’t exactly call what had happened exciting. The word exciting hinted at something that was positive so in Chloe’s mind, a friendly breakfast had been the most exciting thing to happen to her all week.
When Joan mentioned Josef, Chloe looked up. With her sleeping and what had just happened, she hadn’t had the time to give Joan a full report, or tell her how to treat Josef. She looked behind her at Isabella when she made her announcement and Chloe let out a sigh. Well, at least he was no longer panicking over his lack of arm and sleep was good for healing right? Then again, she wasn’t the doctor. Hopefully she wouldn’t have to worry anymore and could let him be alone now, at least until it was time to give him those medications.
Instead of happily accepting the invitation to join them in restocking supplies like she would have, Chloe felt uneasy. There seemed to be a tension, with Joan being upset for not being able to check on Josef and…. Well she couldn’t quite place why she felt tense with Nathan. All she knew was that she wanted out of this situation in a way that wouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings or make anyone upset.
When Isabella interrupted, Chloe felt relieved and shot a thankful look at Isabella. She smiled at the girl and nodded. “I would like that.” She said feeling saved from a terribly tense decision. She had wanted to take a look outside after all and this way she didn’t have to feel tense while doing it. She could enjoy the morning sun, gentle breeze and the lighthearted company that Isabella offered. Perhaps this way she could even take her mind off of the things that were troubling her; just forget everything for a moment and appreciate the beauty of nature. Just imagining it made her happy.

Chloe enjoyed the company for a bit longer, laughing and talking with Isabella until Gabrielle got up and said something that she didn’t understand. She looked to Isabella for the translation and when she got it she watched, a bit worried as the older woman left the room. She looked again to Isabella, a bit unsure of things before she smiled softly at her saying she was happy to have new friends. Although she didn’t say it outloud, she wanted to promise that she would protect this place and work like it was her own home but in the end the thought made her a bit sad.
As she stood up, she wondered what she would do for the day. Perhaps she would run around a bit and scout out the land that they had with her free time, which she guessed would be a lot. Picking up her plate she made her way to the sink and smiled at Isabella. “I’ll help you clean up.” She wasn’t sure if the water was still working for them but that didn’t mean she couldn’t help clean up in order to thank them for the delicious meal.
When she heard Doc scream she almost dropped her plate, managing to catch it and put it down safely on the counter before she ran to his side. He was sweating profusely and looked very troubled. A bad dream perhaps? “Doc, what’s wrong? What happened?” She asked, eyes wide and alert. She blinked in confusion when he said his rifle was gone and looked around. Everyone was accounted for, or asleep and Gabrielle didn’t seem like the type to take something like that so that only left… Her eyes went wide. “The boys…” She mumbled, panic rising to her voice. “Where did they go?” She asked frantically.
Her thoughts wandered to terrible places, where the boys thought that the gun was a play thing and accidentally shot each other. She bit her lip and tried to calm herself down. Perhaps she was jumping to conclusions. Perhaps he had just misplaced it and forgotten that he had left it somewhere else, but even so, in the back of her mind panic took the main seat. “Oh my god…” She put her hands on her head. She didn’t know that Doc had unloaded in for safety reasons, so the horrible and accidental death of a young boy was her only conclusion.

Wow.. that was quite the rant there, but I can understand where you're coming from.
She joined in Isabella’s laughing once again before shaking her head. When the laughing finally stopped she looked down at her plate and cut into the tamale, the steam that rose made her stomach growl once again. Taking a heaping helping of salsa along with it, she hummed happily when she ate it. She remembered her mom’s cooking which made her accustomed to eating extremely spicy things. Everything her mom used to make was spicy in one way or another so this salsa, no matter what the spice level was, made her happy and reminisce of home.
She didn’t notice the two boys in the room until she had finished her first tamale and they were already sitting beside Isabella, stealing hers. She chuckled softly at the look Isabella gave her before pointing to the young boy who had stolen her tamale and scooping her tamale off of her plate and handing it to her. After the eggs that Isabella had made for her she was pretty much full and the rest could be filled, she felt, with this small bowl of salsa. She didn’t mind, she would eat it raw. It was really good salsa.
She silently listened to the question and answers, taking small helpings of the salsa now. After the name and uncontrollable giggling she watched Isabella for her interesting responses to Nathan’s answers. When she blushed when Nathan mentioned the garden, she gave a knowing chuckle, taking a bite of tomato. When they started talking about toilet paper however, her face soured and she put her utensils down, closing her eyes and waiting for Nathan to finish before she spoke up. “Could we please now talk about those types of things while we eat. It’s enough to make me lose my appetite.” Even though she said that she had pretty much finished her meal, though the thought of continuing at the moment felt disgusting to her.
All throughout the meal she had been playing with an idea and after she had finished eating she felt she could go through with it, though the salsa continued to call to her. Carefully she got up from her seat and made her way over to the doctor, whispering in his ear. “Josef is awake now, but has said he wants to be alone.” She stepped away and made her way back to her seat. “Do what you want with that information.” Doc was the one person had the right to go up there right now and know what was up with his patient.
