"Erik Knight. How kind of you to join us," Savannah called out, sighing. Of course he would be here, of course. He gave her a confused look.

"Well, he certainly thinks much of himself," Jacob noted to Alex, who giggled.

"Who are you? And how do you know me?" He asked suspiciously, uncrossing his arms and straightening up.

"Don't ask questions you don't really want the answers to. Just…we're not here to hurt you or challenge you. We're just hiding from the zombies," Savannah replied, defeated. Gale had the oddest urge to go over and comfort her, then pound this Erik character. He folded his arms tightly across his chest and resisted. He frowned even more when Peeta patted her shoulder giving her a reassuring grin which she returned gratefully.

"Oh dear god, not you," Ty wrinkled her nose, giving him a look. Erik looked confused.

"Not…me? You know me too?"

"You're perverted! Pervert!" She exclaimed, shaking her head and wagging a finger. Josh barked a laugh. Erik's face flamed red and he was in Ty's face before she could blink.

"Don't say things you don't know about," he told her, holding the front of her shirt. Josh, Mike, and Will were immediately on all fours and growling, drawing very close to Erik, who blinked and stood back, hands up. Clover watched him with interest; he had only just got here and already was making things a whole lot more interesting, even if he was threatening Ty, though she did accuse him of being a pervert.

"Well, isn't this just jolly?" Jasmine noted. Erik shot her a look of pure contempt.

"Back off," he muttered, stalking away. Clover was sorry to see him go.

"Where are you going?" She called, catching up to him, despite the warning from Ty who was still muttering about perverts.

"Away," he said, looking at her like she was an idiot. Clover flushed.

"Well that's obvious enough. I meant where?" She emphasized 'where'.

"Why, you interested in going?" He raised an eyebrow.

"PERVERT!" Ty yelled, and Erik gave her an irritable look.

"Stay of my way or else you're dead!" He yelled, and his answer was a growl that echoed around them.

"Well isn't somebody a tiny bit angry?" Jasmine noted from afar, turning to…Peeta. She scowled slightly at his happy expression.

"What? What did I do?" He wondered, watching as her face glowed with anger.

"Come with me!" She hissed, taking him by the front of his shirt and dragging him to the nearest door, shutting it behind them. Jacob waggled his brows at Alex.

"Wanna join 'em?" he winked as Alex blushed to her roots.

"Why are we in here?" Peeta asked, as he watched the back of Jasmine's head. Jasmine whipped around.

"Why are you so happy all the time? It's driving me bananas!" Jasmine cried, pacing. Peeta watched her silently as she ranted. "And what's up with having to know everything? Isn't it nice to know that everyone has their own business and that you don't have to all share burdens? And how come you always are right behind me when I turn around? How come you always seem to know how to push my buttons? And what about your wardrobe? What's up with that-" she stopped speaking when Peeta grabbed her shoulder gently.

"Sorry, but Jasmine? Would you let me answer your questions?" He asked softly, looking at her with his big baby blues. She blinked and looked up at him impatiently.

"Well?"

"I'm sorry that not everyone can be to your liking, Jasmine. It's just who I am. If you don't like it, ignore me," he told her, kissing her gently on the cheek before going out the door and leaving her in the dark room alone. Jasmine stopped and pressed her fingers against her cheek, staring at the doors.

"And how come you seem to be the only one that breaks through my barriers?" She whispered, moving forward and leaning against the door heavily, unaware that Peeta was doing the same on the other side.

"Hey, Peeta, what's up?" Asked Stephen, walking to his side with Edward close behind.

"Nothing," Peeta sighed and stood up, brushing off his shirt.

"That's cool," Stephen nodded, looking…well…happy.

"What have you been up to?" Asked Peeta suspiciously.

"Nothing," he replied, confused and a little guilty.

"Oh…"

"Why do you ask?" Edward wondered, who was also looking alight and extremely happy.

"Well…it's odd. You two were so sullen before and now…you're practically blooming with happiness. It's weird," Peeta murmured, shaking his head and giving them a smile. He'd looked up just in time to see them share a look. A look way to intimate for Peeta.

"Whoa, okay-" Peeta held up his hands. Stephen looked away and blushed. Edward held strong though.

"Yes, it is what it is. Stephen and I…we are together. Do you have a problem with that?" Edward asked menacingly leaning towards Peeta. Peeta fell back a few steps, falling against the doors in which he had just been through; the same doors that Jasmine was still leaning on. She fell back as he fell on top of her, and she let out a screech so high that the vampires winced, and Josh, Mike, and Will all howled.

"No, no problems," Peeta said, hurriedly getting up and offering a hand to Jasmine. Jasmine took it to everyone's surprise, as much to her own. She quickly yanked it out and glared at him, wiping her hand on her pant leg. Peeta watched, confused, as she stalked away from them and towards Ty, who was laughing hysterically at something Josh had said.

"Ah, love. Terrifying thing," Edward commented. Stephen gave him and soft push, grinning.

"You don't seem to scared."

"Me? No, I'm never scared," Edward scoffed, and Peeta had to smile.

"Together…it suits you," Peeta noted, and bounded away, going to see what was going on with Jasmine, who scowled.

Erik, meantime, was having a pretty goodtime with Clover. She was fun, creative, and spontaneous. Although she was annoyingly perceptive and very curious.

"So, do you, like, drink blood like the other vamps?" She wondered, following as he wound up the stairs. Erik rolled his eyes.

"Yes, I do."

"Ew. That's so unsanitary," she replied, making a face. Erik turned around, lifted her up, and put her on the other side of him without missing a beat. Her eyes widened.

"Drinking blood enables to do that. Not so ew now, is it?" He teased, walking past her, close enough to smell her shampoo. It smelled clean and good and like citrus. She watched him continue walking, her mouth gaping slightly. He sure didn't have the bulging muscles like Jacob Black, more of a gangly hot guy going for him, but man was he strong.

"It still is ew, just not as much as before. So long as I don't see anyone drinking it I'm good," she told him, catching up.

"Hey wanna play 20 questions?"

"No."

"Cool. Question 1: What's your favorite color?"

"I said I don't want to play," Erik told her, reaching the top step and sitting on the stair at the top.

"Come on! I'm bored, lets do something!" Clover complained, sitting down next to him. Erik sighed, feeling like he was babysitting a little kid.

"Fine! My favorite color is blue." He said defeated.

"Mine's orange," Clover stated, grinning, then moved on, "Question 2: What's your favorite sport?"

"Hunting," he flashed a grin and she gulped.

"Oh…mine's fencing. Question 3: What's your favorite pastime?"

"Oh, I don't know. Probably stalking," he told her. Clover's eyes were wide and she got up.

"Okay, maybe this isn't such a good game-"

"No, come on, I'm enjoying this. Here, I'll answer for real this time, and not just vampire answers, okay? Come on, sit back down," Erik guided her gently back to the stair. She sighed.

"Okay. Question number 4: What's your favorite food?" Erik looked at her and she blushed deeply.

"Woops, okay moving on, Question number-"

"It was pizza before I Changed," he told her quietly, looking at the small crack in the stair just below the one they were sitting on.

"I love pizza," Clover told him, rubbing his shoulder. When he looked at her hand, then slowly looked her face, she stopped and quickly took it away.

"Ahem," She coughed, feeling a little flushed, "question number 5: What's the most reckless thing you've ever done?"

"Um…probably not kill you and all your friends," he said after a moment. Clover rubbed her eyes and sighed. "What? I'm being serious!"

"Don't be cocky, Erik," she muttered, and brushed her short brown hair away from her face, meeting his gaze.

"I'm not-"

"Moving onto…question number 6: what's the most important thing to you?"

"An in a person or…?"

"Or..."

"I would have to say my pride," he replied, leaning back.

"I see."

"Hey, now what does that mean?" Erik asked, looking offended. Clover shook her head.

"Nothing, nothing," she told him, getting up and stretching, then pacing on the cement ground to stretch her legs out.

"Next?" He teased, watching her movements.

"Oh, right. Well, how about…hm…question number seven: How old are you?"

"19," he told her.

"Is that your actual age or how long you've been a vampire?" She questioned.

"Is that question number eight?"

"Sure," she replied, smiling.

"Well, then I'm obligated to answer. That's my actual age; I've been a vampire for about four years now."

"Whoa," Clover whispered sitting down and resting her head on her knees. Erik shrugged.

"It's really not that long. Those guys down stairs have been alive way longer; it's written all in their eyes and faces," Erik told her, watching as she tucked a loose piece of hair behind her ear.

"Question 11: who do you love most, or have loved most?" Clover asked, watching his face for a reaction. Erik looked surprised.

"I don't know, honestly. My mom?" Clover laughed and nodded.

"Good answer," she said. He grinned, relieved to have gotten that question out of the way.

"Question 12: Who do you want to get to know most?"

"You," He replied automatically then looked down and shook his head. Clover blushed.

"Okay, I honestly have no more questions," she admitted, looking embarrassed.

"PERVERT!" Ty shouted at him, her voice echoing around. Erik grabbed the metal railing tightly, then slowly let it go, his hand leaving marks on it.

"Don't let her get to you; her favorite pastime is being ANNOYING!" Clover yelled the last part down and Ty laughed loudly.

"She certainly does have a talent," Erik noted. "Perhaps it could be a future career choice for her." Clover chuckled.

"Yes, I'm sure if they made a job that allowed Ty to annoy the crap out of people she would jump at it. Do you have any idea why she's calling you a pervert?" Clover asked.

"No idea," Erik lied, looking at his pant leg. Clover raised an eyebrow but didn't push it, instead making a mental note to ask Savannah or Ty about it later.

"Hey, love birds, come on down, we have got to think of a plan!" Marci called up, laughing from something Ty had said.

"Coming!" Clover called down, ignoring the term she had labeled, then turned towards Erik, giving him a hand. He took it and helped himself up, and they walked downstairs together, only getting to the bottom before they realized that they were still holding hands. Erik quickly let go and Clover ran to Ty and Savannah's side quickly talking about plans and such. Erik watched as she spoke, admiring her personality. Ty looked over at him, quickly put two and two together, and glared. He met her look with an even one.

"Pervert." Ty muttered putting Clover, and her butt, in front of her as if to shield her from his look. Erik gave her a death glare and chose to stand slightly off the group, next to Damon and Edward. Damon looked at him and shook his head a little and stepped towards Marci. Edward gave him a sympathetic look, but otherwise remained where he was, like a statue while Savannah spoke.

"Okay, so everybody knows that we can't stay here forever," she began tucking a brown piece of hair behind her ear. Everyone nodded slowly, besides Jacob, who raised his hand. Savannah raised an eyebrow back, and he cleared his throat.

"Just making sure everyone knew why exactly we can't stay here?" He said the statement like it was a question. Savannah shrugged.

"We have limited amounts of food and water, zombies coming after us, and a lot of different species of exact opposites. It's not exactly a safe environment."

"Oh, right, yeah I knew that," Jacob laughed and brushed it off, an awkward silence following. Ty held up her hands and stacked them on top of each other, moving her thumbs in circles.

"Awkward turtle!" She cried. Savannah gave her a look.

"Anyways," she said with emphasis, "our next move is…well, figuring out what our next move should be."

"I think we should check out the map and see what the next safe spot is," Peeta volunteered, earning a smile from Savannah. Jasmine's hand twitched for her mace.

"Well, I think we should figure out why this is all happening," Alex spoke, her voice carrying across the open space. Everyone turned towards her, watching in interested silence. She cleared her throat, unused to attention from so many people.

"Well, I mean…if we know what's causing this maybe we can try and get rid of it. Then, at least, we have a goal. I mean, it's just an idea…" Alex quickly backpedaled looking at Jasmine's face which was glowing with annoyance, but not from what Alex had said.

"Okay, does anybody else agree?" Savannah asked, turning her attention, and everyone else's away from the very uncomfortable Alex. Hands shot up in the air, some more late and hesitant than others.

"Okay, that's one, two, three, four, five,…Erik is your hand up? Okay, six. Six of us wants to figure out the problem. I do as well. Seven, so majority rules. We are going to figure out why this is all happening," Savannah decided, giving everyone a firm look, then jumping down from her position on the stairs. Gale met her at the bottom.

"That was impressive," he told her, in reference to her public speaking. She shrugged, frowning.

"Not really. I'm just the only one here who stepped up to the plate when we called a meeting. I actually kind of really hate speaking in public, but among friends its cool," she told him. Gale watched as she walked away, affected by her words more than she could imagine. Friends, Gale thought as she walked towards Peeta and Jasmine, sounds good. Then why did he feel so empty?

Good chapter? You like? ;) Anyways, also, let me know any ideas you have about why this is all happening! Could it be because it's Alex's birthday? Could it be totally and completely random? Let me know what you guys think! Love you guys and I'll post again as soon as I can! :) For realz now, Shelbator, signing off.
