"She should be okay with other cats. I think. Thanks. For feeding her. God, I'm not even coherent anymore. 'Night."
Ana was asleep is seconds.
 
Dr. Cromwell was smitten with Anastasia. It might have been the near apocalypse, but he couldn't explain it. He was glad that she was there. He stood at the end of the Quarantine waiting for the Angelo to come through.
 
Angelo walked through the quarentine and came to teh other side.
Taking the doc to the side he said "Would it be alright if i have a room next to lili...? I want to be able to get to her quickly if anything happens... Among other reasons..."
 
Lili smiled. Being next to both of them was even better. She trusted them more than anyone else here.
"I'd enjoy being near both of you," She said, heading for the room next to Dr. Cromwell's.
 
"OK, thats great, why don't the both of you get rested, and I'll call a meeting in the living room downstairs in a few hours"
 
Lili nodded, then headed into the room. It was a decent little room; a nice bed with a purple blanket made it seem almost like home. She sat down on the edge, patting the covers with one hand. Ooh, soft. She curled up on top of the covers, finally relaxed. There was no danger here. None of those monsters that wandered around outside aimlessly.
Lili lifted the blankets and crawled underneath them, now lying on the comfortable blue sheets. She pulled the blanket up to her shoulders before turning over onto her stomach and falling asleep.
 
Dr. Cromwell went downstairs into his garage and got into another one of his cars. He drove out looking for a zombie to kill and take back home and looking for some survivors.
 
Angelo walked into his room and plopped right onto the bed.
Ahhh... It seems like it's been years since i've felt a bed... so soft...
Those were his last thoughts before drifting into dreams of... Guess who.
 
While he was driving he was thinking about whether or not he should have told Jordan to stand lookout, and thinking about Anastasia. He was in love, and he new it. then, de drove up near some men in a truck, firing on zombies with a crapload of different guns. "Hey, Ya' need some help?" he yelled sarcastically, and then proceeded to get out of the truck and kill some zombies.
 
Anastasia woke up on the floor next to her bed after falling off. Her backpack was a few feet away, and the sword was an inch from her head.
"Oh crap. That could've ended badly."
She got up and put all of her stuff on a desk. Sitting on her bed, she pulled out her ponytail, running her fingers through her hair before tying it back again with a rubber band. She fell backwards onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Zombie apocalypse. God. This can't be real. Maybe I'm cracking up, or in a coma and having hallucinations or something. No way."
Everyone seems pretty real. They can't be. No freaking way. Even so. I probably shouldn't yell at people anymore. That could end badly. And it makes me look like a jerk. But what do I care?
Jiji slipped out of the door of her room, meowing. Ana didn't notice.
I do care. Sorta. Wait a sec. Me and that girl are probably the last females here, apparently. So after we die the human race will go extinct. Or all humans born after then will have eleven fingers on each hand from lack of genetic diversity or something.
For some reason, the idea made her laugh softly, despite how afraid she was about the possibility that everything that was happening was real.
 
"Follow me if you want a safe haven!" Dr. Cromwell yelled. He ran up to a zombie and hit it in the stomach with a SPAS 12 shot and dragged it into his truck and drove off. He got back to the lab and put the zombie on a gurney and put it in the living room. He then went upstairs and knocked on Ana's door. "Are you awake, Ana?"
 
Jiji yowled and ran off as Dr. Cromwell almost stepped on her, and darted into someone else's room. Ana sat up again, rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm awake. Come in if you want. Hope Jiji didn't scratch you."
 
"She's okay. Otherwise, I would have a hysterical cat hanging onto my head. I slept okay I guess, considering what's going on. Are you okay?"
She asked, feeling really awkward. Meanwhile, Jiji ran into Lili's room and darted under the bed.
 
"I'm fine. You can rest easy while you are here, it's very safe. I wanted to apologize for the way I acted earlier, it was uncalled for. We will survive this whole thing. Also, I got in contact with one of my college friends in Canada. He says that things are just as baron and crazy up there. I think that we should try to make it there. Also, I've heard of some military bunkers that are taking in the survivors. I also want to appoint you my second in charge, since you are the oldest other than me." Dr. Cromwell was nervous.
 
"It's not your fault. When I'm.. stressed I yell at people. A lot. Sorry."
Canada. Crap. Hmm. Maybe if we can use the helicopter. No. A car, maybe? Too many of us. And..
"Canada. Right. Okay, that makes sense. Second in charge. Not sure what that entails exactly, but sure."
Ana answered, trying not to laughed at how nervous sounding they both were.
 
"OK, why don't you go downstairs and wait for the others." And with that, he left the room to relieve the tension. He then walked over to Lili's door and knocked and said "Lili? Are you awake? Is everything alright?"
 
Lili blinked her eyes open from the light sleep, awoken by the sound of claws skittering on the floor. She looked around, then dared to glance under her bed. It was a silly thing for one her age to do, be afraid of looking under the bed, but since these zombies started showing up, she didn't know what to excpect.
"Hi, kitty. What're you doing here?" She said, surprised to see a kitten but relieved there wasn't some infected monster. She reached her hand towards it, head upside down and hair touching the ground as she leaned over the side of the bed.
The knock on the door made her jump, causing her to fall off the bed with a loud, "Oof!" Lili sat up and said, "Yeah, I'm awake. Everything's fine," She lied, since her head kind of hurt after falling on it.
