Author's rant: NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TOOK THE POLL!!!! How many of you took it? Like... ONE! Oh well. The poll is at the end of this chapter and if you ignore again I'll be one angry little author. Also... I posted a new story! ^_^ ::giggles:: Based on this one, rewriting the ending and it is pure humor. Just what happens when I get bored. Forget what I called it but just click on my pen-name and you should be able to find it. Well take the poll at the end of this chapter, tell me what you think in general, tell me how you like certain charas etc etc. Reveiws are so I can know what you think. Say what you think. Don't be a voicless mass! Also... Sorry. Because no one took the poll I am just gonna have this chapter be a convo between Eric and Julia. I don't know if you are gonna get some sappy message out of it but maybe it is borderline WAFF (warm and fuzzy feelings)but I am just writing the two as friends for now so I am not trying to really imply anything but that. ^_^ Of course it is always fun to think that way anyways!
Chapter 15
Eric gently removed his mothers arm which was drapped around his shoulders. She was asleep, as was Paul and Alan. Eric and Billy were the only ones awake. They weren't sure about Julia who's gaze was locked onto the empty space in front of her. The water had finally dried off all three of them and they were left in the average dampness the humdity of the jungle left them in.
As he stepped closer he noted the relieved look on Billy's face. Trying to talk to Julia was a reletively difficult task unless you were Eric. Tory could talk to her with ease but he didn't really count for much in conversations anymore. Although Billy clearly was on her good side. She had spoken in complete sentences to him more then once. That was a real compliment considering how much she spoke to everyone else.
Billy nodded to Eric and it was evident he was giving up trying to speak to her. He didn't really want to give up but he couldn't do much to help if he couldn't get a word out of her.
Billy left the two and curled up as he fell asleep nearly instantly.
After standing there in silence for a moment Eric finally spoke in a soft voice. "Jul-?"
"Lee knew it was a bad idea. That barge." Julia said, her voice, equally soft, was bitter and sounded strained to Eric. Talking about one lost companion after the loss of another was understandably hard for her. "He was planning on using it when we found it but he decided not to because there were other animals besides the spinosaur that might get us if we used it... We didn't know which were plant eaters and we didn't know about the ones that were completely wiped out so we completely forgot it because it was to dangerous-"
"Jul..." Eric said, shortening her name to let her know Tory wasn't the only one who cared, "Maybe you shouldn't think about it..." He felt his stomache knot as he said it. He knew how heartless it sounded to say "don't think about it" but what else could be said?
She looked up at him and gave a half smile. She was almost totally forcing it but a part of her genuinely felt like smiling about the fact she still had the Kirbys, Alan, Bill and especially Eric.

Rant: Whole lotta WAFF. Yep yep. Well I am really looking forward to writing the sequel to this (overflowing with ideas) but you'll need to take the poll. Yep.
Well, reveiwer Nukem says I should kill off Amanda Kirby. Interesting thought. And makes for a nice basis for angst. Heh heh... I like angst I do I do. Now I am taking a poll on this. Would you like me to:
A: Leave her alone
B: Kill her
C: Severly injure her
D: Coma and/or paralysis or some other lasting defect.
^_^ Opinions welcome. Keep reading and reveiwing and you'll get all kinds of great stuff outta this. Like Land Before Time, a childrens ward, Eric and Julia and... Well... I think I'll just write that up later. Anywho TAKE THE POLL!!! ^_^ Thanks!
