Sarah stood in the doorway behind Elise as she looked at Fearah while she began to speak about a note her and her mother found and that she was told about a cousin named Sarah that she had. "My.. My mom didn't have a sister." She muttered as she looked at the girl, Not being able to shake the feeling that she looks similar to herself. "But.... Did...Did I hear you say.. The note said.. Jamie... Was the moms name..?" She asked as she tightened her grip on the strap again and dropped her head to the ground. Why would a note at her grandmothers name say moms name? And mine...? She wondered as she brought her head up to face the girl again, searching the girls eyes for any sort of lie as she heard Elise speak up again and ask if they knew each other. "I..I don't know.. Her.. But.. The name Jamie.. Is.. Familiar.." She said before fixing her gaze to the girl again as she waited for her answer.

Fearah kept her gaze to the river as she listened for the footsteps of the two leaving the perch, but they never came. Instead, came the response from the young, shy girl. "Didn't eh? Okay, Like I said, Must had been a coincidence." She said as she turned her head to face the girl again, The face still shocking her as it looked like she was looking in a mirror of sorts. "But yea.. Before I got here my mother, sister and I had come down here from Canada looking for my mothers family, She sorta did something that made the family mad at her before I was born, Think she said she.. Eloped?" Fearah said as she brought her hand up to scratch her head with a single finger as she tried to recall the word. "But yea, Anyway, We got to my grandparents house in Flint, That's my moms parents. Where my mom told me about her sister Jamie and that she had a daughter around my age named Sarah, She only knew that because of the few pictures that her sister sent her. Her sister was the only one that talked to her though, At least, That's that what she told me." Fearah looked back at the apple core sitting next to her for a moment before turning to face the girl again.
Standing up Fearah reached into her back pocket and took out a small, folded picture. Unfolding it and stepping closer to the girl she held it out to her. "Look, This is my mom." She said as she waited for the girl to take it. "I have the pictures of my grandparents in my bunk. I'll show you those if you want after Elise finishes your tour." Fearah finished before feeling the picture slide from between her fingers as Sarah took it and began to look at it intently.
Fearah watched the girl for a moment as she continued looking at the picture with a confused look on her face, like she was looking at a ghost or something to Fearah as she jumped slightly when she heard Elise speak up. "I.. I don't know, She looks like she could be my sister though." She said with a chuckled before holding out her arm for Sarah to give the picture back. "Her name was Tera, Her twins name was Jamie. If I remember right she said that she joined the navy. Or was it the Air force...?

Sarah stepped closer to the door and Elise as she waited for the answer from the other girl across the way, Jumping slightly when she finally spoke. "Must have." She muttered under her breath as she dipped her head to the ground again. Hearing Fearah begin to speak about her past again sent a shiver down Sarah's spine Why is she telling me all this? Isn't she scared I'll betray her? But.. Where are these people she's speaking of? are they... She thought as she glanced back up at the girl in time to see her stand up.
Stepping back slightly Sarah went on edge as she watched Fearah reach for her back pocket, preparing to duck at the first sign that she was drawing a weapon. A few tense seconds later Fearah's hand came back into view holding a folded piece of paper, The sight allowing Sarah to calm a little after looking over at Elise again and giving her a slight smile, Thanking her for being there in a way. Sarah kept her eyes on Fearah's hands as she made her way closer to her, Resisting the urge to run from her approaching so fast but the curiosity of what the photo contained had won over the fear that was still eating at the back of her mind that every word she was hearing was a lie.
Taking the photo from Fearah's hand Sarah couldn't believe her eyes. How.. How did this girl get a picture of my mom? She wondered before hearing her answer Elise's question. "You.. You said that.. You're mom was a.. Twin of this.. Jamie?" She asked her as the shocking similarities of her mother and the woman in this picture formed in her mind. Who is this girl? Why does her mother look exactly like mine even though she's not? She questioned herself as she continued to be bewildered by the image in her hands.
Seeing fingertips at the top of her vision snapped her out of the slight trance of confusion she had found herself in and caused her to jerk her head back up to face the girl across from her. "Who.. Are you..?" She asked her before handing the photo back. "I.. I don't know how but... You're mom looks... Identical to... Mine..." She stuttered before taking a few quick steps back from the girl and towards the door. "I.. I don't know anything about a twin sister of my mothers.. But.. It's creepy looking at you.. You're.. You're right.. We do look similar.. It's freaky."
Turning to Elise Sarah shyly stepped away from the young girl, glancing at her one last time before taking up a position behind Elise slightly. "We.. We can continue the tour.. but..Could you help me find.. Her... When we're done..? That image.. It.. It looks like my mom but... Not... At the same time... It's.. Weird and I.. Need to know... Why.."

Listening to the back-and-forth between Fearah and Sarah, two things became apparent in Elise's mind: (1) that the two were most certainly related and (2) she might have an idea of where the woman in question was at and that was because, at the beginning of the day, she'd seen the duty roster for most parts of Belle Isle (with the exception of Medical, Communications and the Dining Hall - each of those sections kept their own duty rosters) and so she had a pretty good idea where she would be - if I only knew her name, that is, Elise thought.
Before Elise could check, Sarah mentioned that she was ready to continue the tour; Elise nodded but asked, "If you'd like, Sarah, I can check and see where she is on the Island....," pausing to point at the woman in the picture - assuming she was still alive, she thought...if she's here, that is; I can't promise certainty on that, but I can check if you'd like."

Sarah had brought her eyes to rest on her feet again as she waited for Elise to tell her to follow her as she continued to wonder just who Fearah was. The picture isn't mom... But... It looks like her at the same time. Just, Who is this girl? If what she said about her mom having a sister is true then does that mean she's my... Cousin? Does that mean... I'm.. I'm not alone anymore...? She thought as she quickly glanced back at Fearah who seemed to be leaning against the wall looking at the photo. "Who are you..?" She muttered under her breath before glancing up at the back of Elise's head as she began to answer her question.
Following the woman's finger as she pointed to the picture in Fearah's hand as she spoke Sarah felt a tinge of regret cross her mind as she swallowed hard as the thought of the woman, Fearah's mom being here. "Wh..Where is you're mom?" She asked Fearah before returning her eye to Elise. "M..My mom.. Jamie... is..." She stopped short as she felt the emotions well up again as the image of her mother and brother being eaten by one of the bitters flashed before her eyes. "My.. mom wouldn't be here... She.. Died... back when this all.. Started..I.. I've been alone.. All four years..." Sarah said before wiping the tears on her sleeve and glanced back at the two of them, Noticing Fearah had fixed her gaze on her again. Why do you stare so much...? She asked herself before opening her mouth to ask. "Wh...What?"
Post by Fearah Tremblay on Jun 22, 2017 23:03:21 GMT -5
After taking the photo back from Sarah, Fearah couldn't help but look at the wound stretching across the girls face and the whitish tent over the eye it crossed. If you really are my cousin, Hell, even if you aren't and you stick around long enough to earn a spot here, I won't let anything like that happen to you again. She mentally vowed to herself as she watched her skittishly make her way back to Elise's side.
Moving to the wall near the door across from the two Fearah leaned against the wall and began to look at the picture that was still in her hand. Oh mom... Kera... Why did we have to be careless... She thought as she let out a sigh of regret. Hearing Elise mention something about finding the woman in the photo made her eye Elise with an air of curiosity, She watched her mom die after all so of course she wouldn't be here. She was about to open her mouth and spout an aggravated line at the woman for trying to give the girl a sense of false hope before she was cut off by Sarah beginning to answer.
"Wh..Where is you're mom?" She asked Fearah before returning her eye to Elise. "M..My mom.. Jamie... is..." She stopped short as she felt the emotions well up again as the image of her mother and brother being eaten by one of the bitters flashed before her eyes. "My.. mom wouldn't be here... She.. Died... back when this all.. Started..I.. I've been alone.. All four years..."
Fearah didn't answer after hearing the girl speak about her mom, She knew how it felt, She still saw the scene in her dreams. Making her way to stand next to Elise Fearah eyed her for a moment before reaching out and taking Sarah's hand in hers. "My mom, The one in the picture.. She's dead too." She said before wrapping her arms around Sarah. "Have Elise bring you back to where I am when you're done, I'll show you the other photo's, Who know's.." She stopped as she released Sarah from her hug and put a hand on her hip. "You might just be my Sarah." She said as she shot her a cheesy grin in the hope to cheer her up. "Go on and give her the rest of the Tour Elise." She said looking up at the woman before leaning over to Sarah to whisper in her ear. "Don't let her get all carried away with the history of things okay? She'll go on forever if you let her." she chuckled as she made her way back to her seat. "See you when you guys get back." She called as she took up her seat again and watched as the two began to get ready to leave again.

"Yeah...your right Doc. It's just hard to know that there wasn't anything I could have done to save them or help them." She just sat there and frowned a bit. Sighing slightly, she brought up the Enfield and slid the bolt out and catching the live round as it ejected outwards towards the Doctor who was sitting across from her. With the bolt fully out, she popped the clip out from underneath the rifle and set the clip and single bullet down onto the surface of the table. "Hope you don't mind me cleaning my rifle while we talk...so since we are going to be living under the same roof so to speak, I'd like to know more about you sir." Reaching into her bag, she took out a few brushes and gun oil and began the process of cleaning the fire arm out of dust, dirt and suet. Taking the longer of the bristle brushes, she slid it down through the barrel and began to slide it back and forth while listening to the doctor as he spoke to her. Dirt and suet began to slide out onto the floor from the end of the barrel as she was taking care of her weapon. Once it was all cleaned out, she slid the bolt back into the rifle. Putting the single round back into the clip, she slapped the clip into the rifle and set it down.
Reaching down to her side, she pulled out her handgun, the Ruger P85 9mm. Pulling the slide back as she tilted the gun to it's side, the 9mm round that was chambered landed on the table as she pushed the small button which released the clip from locking mechanism. Pushing another button on the side of the handgun, she pulled the slide all the way back and off of the frame of the handgun and took the handgun completely with all the pieces set onto the table. First the frame she cleaned out, then the barrel, the hammer, the inside of the handle. When she was satisfied with it, she reverse the process and put the handgun back together without missing a beat as her eyes went from side to side of the gun and the pieces of it as it all fell back into place. The two weapons were fully cleaned and put back together while they rested on the top of the table's surface.

"Hope you don't mind me cleaning my rifle while we talk...so since we are going to be living under the same roof so to speak, I'd like to know more about you sir."
Leaning back in his chair for a bit, Joseph thought about Danna's comment and figured, what the hell. "No, I don't mind...and it reminds me why I prefer lever-action rifles to bolt-actions....but anyway," pausing to lean back up in his seat. "Anyway, I'm originally from Utah - Salt Lake City, to be exact. Both parents worked in the field of medicine; my mother was a clinical researcher, my father was a top surgeon in the region, so I got to see a lot of the medical field growing up....when to college, then onto medical school. Did my internship at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake - which I hadn't been expecting; I'd applied to internships on the East Coast at the time....but I took it in stride. Made it through my internship year, did four years of residency in internal medicine there, then headed across the Wasatch to Park City and Coalville and set up a general practice....treated everyone that came into my office, from the rich pricks from down in Park City to the average person in Coalville, Wanship or Exeter; it didn't matter where they came from. In my world, everyone matters; the field of medicine is like that.
"Since the fall of civilization, its' been one heck of a journey: after leaving Coalville weeks after the ball dropped, I headed east.....stopped for a few days at this large setllement in the Western Rockies called....," pausing to remember the name of the Colorado settlement he'd stopped at back in late 2013, "....Bear something; didn't like the vibe of the place, so I moved on. Continued heading east until I ran into a group in eastern Tennessee and stayed there for about a year, year-and-a-half. That group fell apart after a bandit attack in Johnson City; a couple of us - myself and two others: Kara and Rizzo - headed north and eventually were picked up by a group from here. That was a couple of weeks ago, Danna, and I feel right at home here now; that's not something you can say about a lot of places these days but this place, these people....they're good people, Danna.
"I'll say this: when and if civilizations ever gets back on its' feet in some way, shape or form, it'll be places like this that lead the way," Joseph finished, sitting back in his chair as Danna finished working on her rifle and handgun as they sat there, neither one speaking for the time being...

Fearah didn't answer after hearing the girl speak about her mom, She knew how it felt, She still saw the scene in her dreams. Making her way to stand next to Elise Fearah eyed her for a moment before reaching out and taking Sarah's hand in hers. "My mom, The one in the picture.. She's dead too." She said before wrapping her arms around Sarah. "Have Elise bring you back to where I am when you're done, I'll show you the other photo's, Who know's.."

Listening to the back-and-forth between Fearah and Sarah, Elise chuckled at the last few bits of conversation and playfully stuck her tongue out at Fearah, quietly adding, "I'll get you back for that one," mimicking voice for a few moments and saying, She'll go on forever if you let her...
After another moment's humorous picking at Fearah, Elise said, If you're ready, Sarah, I'll give you the rest of the tour, including the rest of the Island...that sound good, Sarah?"

The feeling of Fearah's hand on her's caused Sarah to stiffen at the touch. Watch the hands, Watch the hands. she said to herself mentally as she glued her eyes to Fearah's hands and gripped her rifle strap tightly once more. Hearing the girls begin to speak about her mother Sarah released the death grip on the strap slightly as the realization that this girl across from her, Who couldn't be more than a year or so younger or older than her, knew the feeling, knew the pain, the loneliness, the sadness that losing a loved one brought. The feeling of Fearah's arms wrap around her caused her to tighten up again, but only for a moment as she returned the embrace. "I'm... I'm sorry.." She muttered as she held her for a moment.
Sarah began feeling extremely mixed up as Fearah's arms receded and she began to lean over to whisper something in her ear, There was no denying that there was Something familiar about Fearah and she wanted to learn what that something was more than anything else, But the years of solitude and imprisonment had left a dark stain on her mind and she couldn't help but be on edge at every turn. They all seem so nice, I want to believe that it's all true.. I want this 'family' to be true.. But.. What if it's not..? She asked herself before bringing her gaze from Fearah's feet to meet her gaze again as she began to return to a standing position after whispering a warning about Elise going on and on. I'm okay with that. Learning's fun. She wanted to say and opened her mouth to begin, but nothing but a soft "I..." came out before she closed her mouth once more and looked up at Elise as she seemed to be sticking her tongue out at Fearah, Clearly she heard what Fearah said about her. "I.. I like... It when... You go on... Like that though..." Sarah stammered out before shooting a nervous glance at the Fearah as she gave Elise a stuck out tongue in return before turning to return to her seat.
Sarah moved to the door and stood there for a moment as Elise and Fearah continued to back and forth at each other. Sarah couldn't help but let a chuckle escape her lips at a few of the retorts but quickly stiffened up again as Elise called out to her to continue the tour. "Y..Yes mam. Whenever your ready.." She said as she began to drum on her rifle strap again. Why are you still nervous? They gave you a room, With a real bed! And there aren't just other kids here, there are multiple other kids here. You're fine.. Just breath. She thought as she took a deep breath in attempt to compose herself as she heard Fearah call out one last time before the duo left. "See you when you guys get back."

Meanwhile, inside Hannah's new Big-Rig......Resting on the bed in back of Hannah's vehicle, Sarah took in several deep breaths, trying to come down from another in a series of long, long orgasms; looking over, she saw Hannah's naked form, equally beat as well, and smiled. "I think we finally broke the Pillars of Heaven, love," Sarah whispered, leanign over to lightly kiss Hannah as they lay there. Noticing that there was plenty of sunlight outside, Sarah continued. "You know, we could go skinny dip in the Detroit River; be a good way to cool off....," sitting up a few moments, she looked outside and then looked back over at Hannah. "What do you say?"

"Alright," Elise said as Fearah and Sarah finished up their own little back-and-forth, jokingly chiming, "Like I said, she'll go on forever if you let her," playfully pointing her finger towards Fearah as she stood at the top of the stairwell....after a few more moments, she quietly coughed and said to Sarah, "If you're ready, I'll take you over to Logistics and show you where I work most days..."

Meanwhile, over in Clarissa's quarters.....Resting a naked arm underneath her head, Kate blew out a long, long breath as she lay back on Clarissa's bed, Clarissa lying next to her...equally naked, equally suffused with pleasure and delight. Glancing over at Clarissa, Kate nipped at her nose a second or two and said, "Well, we better eat," pointing towards the still-warm plate of food Clarissa had brought up earlier and adding, "or we'll never be able to go another round, babe...."

Sarah moved to stand next to Elise as she listened to Fearah finish up talking to the duo standing near the stairs. Who are you Fearah? She wondered to herself as she watched Elise begin to make her way to the staircase as she repeated what Fearah had whispered to her and pointed towards the other girl. "S..Sorry.." She muttered as she dropped her head and waited for the rage to show in Elise's voice from what she said, But it never came, in fact the only thing she heard when Elise spoke to her again was the same tone she had had with her since the gate. How is this place real? Am I dead? She asked herself as she brought her hand up to slap her face. Ouch.. That hurt... Definitely not dead. She though to herself once again before bringing her head up to face Elise as she asked if she wanted to be shown Elise's place of work. "Um... Sure.. Sure thing." She said as she gave the woman a half smile, with a small tear form in her eye, wiping it away she spoke "You guys.. Seem so close... And friendly to.. Each other." She said as she stepped to the side of the stairwell to let Elise pass her, still not able to allow her to walk behind her. I want to trust you.. You guys seem just like family, like Fearah said. But I still don't know if you'll grab me from behind like the others...
Sarah wrapped her arms around herself and grabbed her rifle strap before leaning against the wall with her eyes glued to Elise's shoes as she began to wait for her to take the lead once again.

Watching the last bit of Sarah and Fearah's back-and-forth, Elise smiled and thought to herself, those two are definitely related.Coughing quietly, Elise said, "Fearah, I'd like to show Sarah here the rest of Belle Isle sometime today," adding a bit of sarcasm to her words. Looking over at Sarah, Elise said, "I'll make a note next time I see Ms. Sharpe to have Fearah do another few shifts up here in the perch," sticking her tongue out once more at Fearah but inside thinking I'd really like to continue the tour sometime today...
Post by Sarah "Pip" Bouchard on Jul 12, 2017 22:36:48 GMT -5
Sarah stood with her arms crossed leaning against the wall as Elise finished up her back and forth with Fearah and waited for her to turn on her heels and begin to make her way down the stairs so she could follow, hearing her comment about wanting to continue the tour to Fearah who was still sitting on the chair she had originally taken up when she came out. "We.. We can go now if you're in.. in a hurry... Elise." Sarah said to the woman standing a short distance away from her as her mind continued to debate on who the young girl in the other room was to her. She knew moms name, Said her mom was her sister.. Did.. Did mom have a secret? One that.. That she didn't tell me..? She wondered to herself as she let her eyes move up to Elise's face as the woman began to speak again
"I'll make a note next time I see Ms. Sharpe to have Fearah do another few shifts up here in the perch,"
Shifting her stance slightly Sarah bit her bottom lip for a moment as she felt the nerves begin to build from the thought of her name coming up with someone she hadn't met yet. It's okay.. That's boss lady, Elise said she's super nice, She isn't gonna hurt you Sarah. Fearah is here, That other girl is too, And most of all. She had a kid! She reminded herself as she tried to hide the nervous look on her face. "O..Okay, If.. If she says yes, Will.. Will you bring me back up here after our tour?" She asked Elise in a cautious tone. "I.. I want to see the pictures that Fearah.. Talked about... I.. I have to know if.. If the 'twin' she spoke of... Is.. Is my mom.. Or.. Not.." What are the chances that her mothers sister had the same name as my mom, That her daughter had MY name? It can't be just a coincidence.. Who ARE you Fearah...?
Looking past Elise for a moment and through the door leading back out to the perch she could just see the hint of Fearah's legs gently kicking back and forth in her seat "Let.. Let's go.." She stuttered as she returned her gaze to meet Elise's.
Post by Elise Diefenbaker on Jul 13, 2017 23:49:44 GMT -5
Standing there at the top of the steps, Elise suddenly had an idea; stepping back into the perch, she said, "Sarah, let me point out the locations on the Island here while I'm up here before we continue," glancing over at Fearah and jokingly whispering "Shut up," sticking out her tongue a moment to emphasize the point.
Pointing towards the eastern end of the Island, Elise pointed out a couple places. "Just past the main entrance there are the sparring grounds where a lot of the Islanders like to practice unarmed combat skills; just past that is a beach that, for some reason, a lot of couples--"
"Like you and Natasha?" Fearah interjected.
"Like me and Natasha," Elise repeated, giving Fearah a 'you're number one' symbol, "like to relax at some days. Further along towards the eastern point are a series of large log buildings; those are where we keep most of the Island's non-perishable supplies and at the eastern tip of the Island is the Livingston Memorial Lighthouse. That marks the eastern end of the island....
"As we move along from east-to-west," Elise continued, "there's three places of interest: a former Coast Guard Station, the Great Lakes Museum and the Conservatory; for some reason known only to Ms. Sharpe, she insisted early on in the first year or so of Belle Isle's existence that all three locations had to be kept and maintained to some degree of worth. I asked her once, Sarah - you have the same first name as Ms. Sharpe, you know that? - why she did that; she thought about it for a while and replied that someday civilization would return...maybe not the way it was, she thought, but it would return and so we had an obligation to maintain everything that we could, so long as it didn't endanger the Island or everyone here.
"And now," Elise said, pointing towards the far western end of the Island, "there's one last point of interest: the James Scott Memorial Fountain; most of our heavy vehicles are located there, which makes sense for us since the MacArthur Bridge is right next to that fountain. Now, ringing the Island are a series of guard posts facing outward, watching everything around the Island in case anything happens."
Not thinking of anywhere else that she'd missed, Elise added, "Now we can continue the tour, Sarah; Fae," pointing over towards Fearah, "we'll be back in a little while, alright?"
Post by Sarah "Pip" Bouchard on Jul 16, 2017 22:37:22 GMT -5
Sarah remained at the top of the steps with her back on the wall as she watched Elise wrap up her conversation with Fearah through the doorway, Preparing to push herself off of the wall after the woman took the lead down the stairs again Sarah was caught off guard by the sudden decision of Elise to continue showing her locations from the perch. "Are we go.." She began as Elise turned and stepped back through the door, cutting herself off as the woman disappeared through the doorway. Stepping back through the door and seeing Fearah reappear Sarah gave a slight nod in her direction as the best greeting she could manage at the moment, Her nerves still on edge after Fearah's sudden appearance at the door. I'm not letting anyone else sneak up on me like that again. She vowed to herself as she turned to Elise to listen to what she was starting to say about a location on the island.
Pointing towards the eastern end of the Island, Elise pointed out a couple places. "Just past the main entrance there are the sparring grounds where a lot of the Islanders like to practice unarmed combat skills; just past that is a beach that, for some reason, a lot of couples--"
"Like you and Natasha?" Fearah interjected.
Sarah couldn't help but let a small chuckle escape her lips at the two's short back and forth. "Are.. Are you.. You and Natasha..." she began to ask but stopped herself short as she caught Elise's eye and heard Fearah chirp up again.
"Are they what? A thing? Yes, they get all romantic with each other." Fearah joked as she made a kissy face towards Elise which soon broke into a laughter filled smile.
"oh.. That's nice.." Sarah responded as she looked back up to Elise and let a smile form on her face. Two girls? Romantic? I... I didn't know.. that could happen. She thought as she blushed slightly. Hearing Elise brush off the comments and begin talking about the surroundings again she refocused on Elise's words and shoved the thought of romance away as her first flashed in front of her, Not wanting to reopen closed wounds that old she began to listen intently to Elise's words and followed her finger as it jumped from place to place, Her eyes occasionally moving to glance at Fearah who had began to scan the distance. "she wanted to keep them as they were? Are.. Are they special to.. The town or something?" She asked with her eyes moving between the three buildings that the leader of the place wanted preserved. "I.. I don't expect that having the same name as the leader is gonna help me any though.. I'll still be a nervous wreck with her..." She muttered to herself as Elise continued to talk about what Ms. Sharpe had told her. "I.. I guess that makes.. Makes sense." She responded. "If it ever does that is.." She finished as Elise began to talk about the last place of interest.
"I see. You.. You people sure are organized." Sarah said as she glanced back over at Fearah for a moment, Who still hadn't taken her eyes off the horizon. Is she a lookout or something? Sarah wondered as she watched Elise begin to make her way back towards the door and said that they were going to continue the tour now. Speaking to Fearah for a moment about being back soon.
"Yes mam." Sarah said as she made her way to follow her. "Bye." She said in a timid voice as she glanced over at Fearah as she passed.

Not wanting to reopen closed wounds that old she began to listen intently to Elise's words and followed her finger as it jumped from place to place, Her eyes occasionally moving to glance at Fearah who had began to scan the distance. "she wanted to keep them as they were? Are.. Are they special to.. The town or something?" She asked with her eyes moving between the three buildings that the leader of the place wanted preserved. "I.. I don't expect that having the same name as the leader is gonna help me any though.. I'll still be a nervous wreck with her..." She muttered to herself as Elise continued to talk about what Ms. Sharpe had told her. "I.. I guess that makes.. Makes sense." She responded. "If it ever does that is.." She finished as Elise began to talk about the last place of interest.
"Well....yes, they were," Elise said as Sarah asked about the buildings she'd just spoken of. "Detroit is right in the middle of the Great Lakes - more so than Chicago ever was - and all three locations hold something special for this area. Plus, when and if civilization ever gets back on its' feet, it'll be Detroit that leads the way," Elise added, smiling as Sarah joked a bit about having the first name as Belle Isle's leader and humorously thinking to herself, Where is Ms. Sharpe? as she began heading back down the stairs from the perch so that they could continue the tour.

This place is huge. Sarah thought as she continued to glance around the area around, letting her eyes linger on the points of interest that Elise had pointed out a few moments prior. Seeing movement in the corner of her eye she swiftly turned to face the motion as she reached for her rifle strap. Gripping the strap tightly, ready to slide the weapon off if need be she finished the motion and came to realization that it had just been the glimpse of Elise beginning to move towards the door again. "Oh..." she let out with a sigh of relief at the sight.
Releasing her grip on the rifle strap she let her arm fall to her side again before beginning to drum her fingers on her thigh as she waited for the yelling to begin. "Sorry.. Habits.. Die hard." She said to the woman as she bowed her head in apology for the swift movements that could have been taken as threatening. "So--Sorry.." She repeated as she closed her eyes tightly, Awaiting a slap to the face, or worse. But it never came.
After a few moments Sarah cautiously opened her eyes to see the two girls standing in the same positions that they had been in previously, neither had moved, neither had motioned like they were planning to do anything. Why? Did I really find.. A happy, safe place? She asked herself, still in disbelief over the fact that every time she had done something that would had gotten her beaten at the old place hadn't here. In fact they tried to comfort her.
Attempting to shake off the fear that had surged into her veins a few moments prior due to her reaction to the movement she saw out of the corner of her eye Sarah brought her head up to face Elise gingerly before nodding her head in agreement at the statement about Detroit leading the way, Not being able to form words the young girl silently made her way next to Elise and stared down the stairs as she waited for Elise to pass her. Why are you so stupid...? She's gonna take your rifle once we get away from Fearah now. You watch! She shouted internally as she gripped her fist tightly, extremely annoyed at herself for letting her instincts get the better of herself.
Sarah moved to the side as she heard footsteps approaching from behind once more. Taking a deep breath she watched Elise pass with a smile on her face and began to follow her down the stairs once she passed. "You.. You're gonna take my rifle.. Aren't you.."
