So here is Chapter two, hope you like it.

I do not own Revolution or the Characters

Jason's lungs felt like they were on fire, they all had been running for what seemed like hours. Eventually when they felt it was safe they stopped running, they walked. Miles was set on getting to a base to check on Atlanta and Philly, Charlie seemed set on this too.

Now night fall it was certain they were not going to reach any base tonight, they would have to find somewhere to stay for the night. That is when Jason realized something was off, he couldn't put his finger on it. He looked around at the others, no one seemed to have changed in their faces, no sign anything was different. Then Jason saw it. A farm house in the distance, lights blazing on, lit up like the sun. He reached over and tap Charlie on the shoulder, when her blues eyes looked to him, he pointed. Her gaze followed his finger and a weird expression came upon her face. "Is that?..." She was now stopped and looking deeply at it. "Miles look! It's a farm, and there are lights." Her excitement flowed to the others, now everyone was stopped, looking at the farm.

"Do you think it is safe?" Aaron asked, no one in particular.

"Chances are no one has been in it for years." Miles announced to them. "But just to be sure keep your gums up and your eyes open."

This began another hour walk, everyone sweeping the perimeter on high alert. Slowly walking closer and closer. There was no sign of life.

Broken fences lay litter on the ground, possibly from past people looking for food. Jason decided it was most likely that. Old crops were choked by long weeds and the once vibrant soil was cracked. Most of the house seemed intact, the main structure was not broken or rotten. There were multiple broken windows but nothing past the bottom level. Everyone seemed out of place, no one has really seen any kind of electricity in years, let alone a whole house lit up.

Miles was the first to the door, Aaron and Rachel behind his, Jason and Charlie bringing up the rear. When Miles was sure it was safe he pushed open the front door, allowing the light to wash over them. They stepped out of the darkness and into the light.

Jason and the others walked right into the kitchen, it must have been the back door they opened. Except for the lights on, there were no other signs any humans were here since the blackout began. Empty bowls and plates littered the counters, as well as empty pitchers that once held water. A thick layer of dust covered everything in sight. "Check the rest of the house." Miles called out, and each took a side and searched the house. Jason slowly walked through the remains of the house. First room he saw was the bathroom, Dark grime covered the toilet bowl, the sink was just dusty. There was one shower but the curtain was torn down and rested on the floor with an old carpet. He wasn't fully use to there even being the thought of power, but when he flicked the switch it illumined the small room. Next he stood in front of the small oval mirror, removing the dust, to now see himself. Reaching forward he gently turned the knob on the sink, it make a few creaking noises the began flowing out a brown coloured water. It took a few moments but it finally turned what seemed like clean water, but there was no way he was testing it. Jason turn the nob back off and left the room.

The layout of the house was a kitchen with a small dinning room and living room on the first floor. The front door to the house was barricaded, to keep any strangers from entering. There were two sets of stairs, one in the far corner of the kitchen leading to the basement. Miles took Aaron to check it out. The second set was in the middle of the hall connecting the kitchen with the living room, it took you up stairs to the bedrooms. Jason took Charlie up there and Rachel followed, Miles nor Charlie wanted her near them at the moment Jason didn't know why, Charlie explained later about Nora.

The second floor has four rooms, a big one and three smaller ones. It also had another bathroom. Jason found a picture hanging on the wall in the hall way. After removing the dust it showed: a mother, a father, and two young boys. All were dressed nice and smiling bright for the camera. Jason wondered what happened to the family, but decided bot to think about it. It made him think too much about his mom.

They all met up in the kitchen again, now sure that no one was in the house. "I guess here is alright to stay for the night." Miles was leaning on the counter as he said it. "I'll take first watch, then Aaron, Rachel, Charlie, and Jason can take the last." No one argued with Miles, no one had the energy. Miles left the group to the living room, and Rachel began to follow him. There was no way Jason was getting in the middle of that, instead he took Charlie's hand and lead her upstairs.

"Lets go find a real bed to sleep on." He got a weird look from Aaron so he added. "Separate beds."

Aaron also came up with them and he took the biggest room, seems fitting, biggest bed for the biggest person.

They got to the first room that was once a teenage males' room, well Jason hoped, it was covered with posters of half naked women and others with motorcycles. Two beds rested along two walls. The second and third were both made up night a tidy, they looked like guest rooms. Charlie chose one of those. Jason helped her shake out the blankets and make it more comfortable to be in. "How long do you think we will be here?" Jason asked, while he watched her make the bed.

Without turning around she answered. "I'm guessing the night, Miles wants to keep moving. And so do I."

"That's too bad." Jason said as he walked over to Charlie, warping his arms around her. "I think I could like it here." A small smile spread on her face and she let her arms find him. She leaned in to hug him closely.

"This place is nice but it is not home, we need to help the others. All those people who were hurt. It is my family's fault this world is the way it is." Her grip tightened on him. "I need to help fix it."

"You know it is not your job to fix it." He pulled back to see her face. "You can't fix the world Charlie."

She smiled brighter. "I know." She gently pressed her lips into his. Letting the moment last for a few minutes. "But I can try." With one hand she slowly pushed him away. "Now go to bed and I'll see you when it is time for your watch." Charlie playfully pushed him out the door and closed it behind him. Jason stood there, back to the door, smiling. He could get use to this.

That is it for today. Please review, and thanks for reading. :D
