"I photograph living models and I usually go with a vintage theme. You know I would let you look at my previous work but I'm not quiet sure how that'll work." he laughed lightly. "I've photographed many different types of people in different types of clothing but it's always got a retro or vintage feel to it." Finishing up his cereal he grabbed their bowls and washed them before drying them and putting them back into the cabnet. "To the livingroom my darling" he said taking her hand and gently whisking her away to the couch. He felt as though he were holding a porclian doll that could break any moment if he wasn't careful with her. Not that he was doubting her or anything he just felt responisble for her and protective.

"Well get there if its where we want to be and if not, well then I guess we never really lost anything in the first place."
Alexia gave a small laugh at this. She felt protected by him, like he was sheild. She sat on the couch, leaving room for him if he wanted to sit. "Your photagraphy sounds interestng." she quoted. ""You must enjoy it at most times." she added her mind oof in thought. Easton was a person that seemed protective over other people, though shying around new ones. She wondered...why was he so nice Was it because she was blind? No, he was too kind for that.
Hayley opened her eyes and looked around to find herself on the other side of the room. Remembering what Flick had told her last night she had only nodded and told him to let her think about it then went to the other side of the room. Looking over to where the scientist slept she wondered how anyone could make such a disease, but maybe...he didn't want the dieses to spread in the first place, maybe it was all an accident. Standing up she looked around and saw some of the residents begin to wake. Andre had gone to sleep the rest of the night when he knew everything was all right and was now waking from the floor next to the door. Walking over to Flick she tapped him on the shoulder. "Wake up Flick. We have to get some food." She spoke not saying anything about last night. Turning around she began counting everyone. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." She stopped and counted again. Flick and Alexia hav'nt come back yet so I wont count them yet. She thought. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5....There were six of us in here last night, who's missing?" She spoke outloud so everyone can here. "Me, Andre, Flick, Lilly, the elderly man and.....the woman!" She finished. The woman was no where to be found. Andre got up and looked around to trying to see if he could spot her anywhere. Hayley was about to ask someone if they had seen her when a loud thud sounded from the ceiling. Looking up she heard footsteps walk across it and a low moan. "Is that an attic....." She walked with the ootsteps and saw an opening to it. The moan became louder and louder until finally it stopped. Hayley held her hand up to silence anyone about to talk. The woman from earlier's shoe fell through the whole and another loud moan sounded. "Oh no..." She whispered and pointed to everyone to go up a nearby staircase. The woman must have been infected somehow. Andre walked quitley to the staircase and opened the door to it, making sure everyone followed the directions. Walking back quitely Hayley listened to the woman shuffeling around in the attic, seeming to wait for any noise.
ALexia heard moans far off in the hall above. "Oh no! They must have figured out how to climb ladders!" She cried. The attic ladder in her closet-maybe that's why they broke in. They must have known that she used it, half of them being residents."Easton! We have to hurry! If they got into my closet and into the attic, they might reach the others!" she cried, looking to where she thought him to be. But she was talking to the table. She stumbled up, slipping on her shoes. SHe listened to Eston brezthe.
Flick opened his eyes and wiped away sweat. He heard the moans too, and quickly sat up. He started hyperventilating again. There was no way he was going to follow Hayley to where that person was. He shuddered at the thought of having to look at someone he had infected again. He had even killed some people, but they had come back to life. He looked around and stopped cold when he heard screaming, but it didn't seem like it came from human, but animal. This hadn't happened before, and there were now scraping sounds, like...claws? What had happened? Had the disease gotten worse when spread on? Had it evolved?! Flick collapsed on the floor. This was NOT happening!

hayley turned when she saw Flick fall to the ground. The sound of his body hitting the floor made the thing upstairs jump down to the room they were in. Hayley walked back as the woman walked toward her foam in her mouth and eyes pitch black. hayley grabbed Flick quickly and helped him up watching the woman the whole time. Another sound reached her ears as something else dropped from the attic. "A dog?" She shook and saw it's mouth was foaming to. "it has rabies...." She whispered and walked backwards with Flick leaning on her shoulder. The dog growled and walked closer the foam in his mouth dripping to the ground. His eyes weren't pitch black like the others but they seemed to have hate in them. It focused it's eyes on Flick and barked stepping forward. Bristling the dog began to run and tried to jump on Flick but Hayley moved him aside and pushed her crowbar in its mouth. The dog growled and pushed the crowbar forward knocking Hayley down with it. She held the bar tight for fear that if she let it go the dog would bite her. Pushing more into the dog's mouth it just grasped the bar with its teeth and pushed harder.
Flick yowled with fear and kicked the dog as hard as he could. It yelped but sprang back and tried to sink its yellow teeth into his leg. Flick didn't know what was going on, but someone wanted him dead. Someone knew, and wanted him to die for what he had done. He took a deep breath and kicked the dog again. What had happened? As far as he knew, there were no pets allowed in the building.

Alexia couldn't take it any longer. SHe fumbled with the lock on the door, finding the room keys. The moaning had increased, and she heard scratching. SHe unlocked the door, dropped the keys, and ran over to the sound. It must hacve been the room her friends were in. She felt around until she got to her room, room five. She heard moaning, but streaked paast all of the infected and up the ladder, the sounds a blur of illusion. SHe stumbled through the dark, falling through the hole in the floor and ontop of something furry that gave a yelp. It sounded like a dog. SHe got up, patting the dogs head, not knowing it had rabies. But she heard the foaming. "THis is what I heard on that tape..." she muttered. She backed up from the dog, and yet it didn't bite her. It sounded like it was resisting. SHe felt around its neck, finding a color. She lifted it with trembling hands, feeling a small locket on it. This wasn't any dog. It was one that had lived and gaurded her in her aparment. It was a freind.
Hayley stood up and caught her breath. "Thanks." She looked at Flick then back at the dog. It shook itself and seemed to be angrier because it ran even faster then before at Flick. Taking her crowbar Hayley waited till the dog was right infront of her about to bite Flick and whack! She hit the dog with the crowbar like a baseball bat and watched it crash into the woman with foam. "Come on, before it gets up." she ran toward the door and staircase the others were at and looked back at him.
