Hayley was busy getting everyone into the next room when Derrick yelled from the side of the main room. He yelled in agony as Hayley ran to him but stopped dead in her tracks as she watched, John, who she had killed bite Derrick on his arm. Derrick began shaking and his eyes turned black as he foamed through the mouth. "No..." She mumered and looked around for Andre. "Andre!? Andre!?" She called and was relieved to see him carrying a resident into the room. Bringing the last few peopl in the room, the ones who were diseased were coming after them. Slamming her crowbar on one of their heads she closed the door and locked it on the inside. Feeling the diaseased people bang on the door outside she began to pile chairs on the door intil it was stable. Turning back to everyone who were now in the room, she held the crow bar tight and looked at Andre then back at everyone else. "Before we do anything else, I need everyone to check eachother and make sure they haven't been biten." She spoke seriously and waited for everyone. They were going to take extra percautions this time.
Alexia gave a nod. She hadn't gotten a bite on her...but another thought crossed her mind. "Shouldn't we check for more than bites? What about scratches or cuts? Teethe aren't the only thing that can do it." she said, turning to Hayley's voice. She felt her arms. No scratch marks felt. She tired to find out where Easton was. "East? East? Where are you?" she asked.
Easton was sprinting down the hallway and just as he was rounding the corner they shut the door. "Alexia!" he screamed. Alexia was the only one he even sorta knew since they both lived in the building. He slammed into the door and banged on it. "Guys let me in! It's Easton!" Easton was shaking because Derrek was under him knocked out and foaming and he knew that at any moment he could wake up and it would be all over. Just then he heard footsteps and he knew that if he didn't get in that room now he wouldn't make it. "Alexia get them to open the door they're at the end of the hall. Please!" his voice was cracking and he became ever more panicked when Derek's fingers twitched.

Alexia ran to where she had heard East's voice, opening the door and slamming it behind her. She heard him, and raced on over, bumping nto a wall, but coming over. "East, are yu okay?" she asked. She heard someone foaming at the mouth, and a slight gag. She couldn't move. SOmething was twitching near her foot. "East...there isn't someone there dead on the floor-or infected is there?" she asked, voice shaking. "Let's move." she said. But something gripped her leg.
"Son of a..." Easton trailed off as he looked down and saw Derek was waking back up fully. He kicked him point blank in the nose and he released Alexia letting out a nearly inhuman sound of pain and protest. Snaching up Alexia in his arms he lept of the bleeding person and into the room just as Derek was recovering enough to get up. Slamming the door he locked it sank to the floor still holding onto Alexia in his shaking arms. It didn't even occur to him that she probably didn't want him holding her.

Alexia gave a small yelp as she felt herself being carried. SHe heard a groan of protest and a door slamming. "East? Are you okay?" she asked. "If that's you?" she added. SHe had no idea what had just happened so fast. Her blank purple eyes looked through her blindness trying to search for something. "But as usual, she was still blind. SOmetimes it scared her how that happened. SHe listened to heavey breathing. It WAS East that had her. "East?" she asked again. He wasn't hurt right?
"I'm fine love thanks to you. You saved my life back there but I guess me crushing that guys nose makes us even." Even after what had just happened Easton could still laugh. He smiled at Alexia even though she couldn't see it. "Okay I have a promise. I promise as soon as I can I'll find you a cane of some sort so that it will be easier for you to get around. I heard you mention it earlier but there wasn't really anything I could do since I was to busy running for my life." Easton laughed again softly.

ALexia gave a small laugh. "Your welcome East. I'd like that." she said. She listened to his soft laughter and turned her face to him. "Well, there you are." she said. "Now I know where. Say...where are we? Did you get back into the room?" she asked. She recognised the smell of other people's breaths. Flick, Hayley, Liley, and several others were there other than her and Easton. Yep, they were back in the room.
Easton didn't reply for a moment because he was looking at her. "Yeah we are back in the room." he told her and then after a moment of debate "This might seem really random but I just felt I should let you know that you have the most unique eyes I've seen." After realizing she might take this the wrong way he scrambled to fix it. "I didn't mean unique in the bad way because they clearly are not. I just ment they were unique in the sense that I have never seen another pair just like them. They are strikingly beautiful and if I hadn't been such a creeper by holding you the whole time we've been sitting here I might not have noticed." the last part came out in a rush and wasn't sure if she had gotten most of it. "You're free to get up if you want to. I didn't even think about that fact that I still had my arms around you." Easton felt like a creep being nineteen and holding a sixteen years old whether just as friends or anything more he normally drew the line at seventeen.

ALexia blushed a bit as she stood. SHe helped him up. "Uh...thanks." she said. She turned to Hayley and the others. Hopefulley they hadn't noticed a thing he'd said, or what had happened. Easton seemed nervouse and a bit in a rush when he'd said it. SHe felt his shaking shouldier. "You sure you're okay?" she asked. It was odd. He seemed to sound older than her. But wait-she remembered his age. 19. But she didn't mind. SHe heard a moan and a banging on the door. SHe turned to the sound. The person outside had gotten back up.
