Differ From Time to Time
Lex's Point of View
//Why? Zandra?! I hate this world, And all of the people on it! Damn them! Damn them all to hell!\\
I look over to Jack, his arms crossed, black ash smeared across his face, his hair which use to be bright red was now smothered of air and dead from all of the black ash and gray smoke. His face was loose with carelessness and shock as if he wasn't the reason for the explosion and Zandra's death. I hate him especially.
Tai San's Point Of View
//Why did this have to happen? Such pain has been caused from the explosion. Poor Lex.\\
I close my eyes and think of a way to solve this terrible problem.
Jack's Point of View
//Amber and Dal look calm, they're probably just happy that they can be together now. But still, why'd it have to be Zandra? Zandra, of all people! Why not Lex? Or Ryan?… Zandra.\\
I look down at the grave before me and sigh a long rippled sigh, looking over to Amber it was then that I noticed Bray was up and about. Looking over to Lex I also notice that he has a sign of hate smeared across his face and that he was looking at me! I look back at the grave, all of the sudden feeling very uncomfortable.

"Why do you look away?"
Jack turned to look at Lex, who was the first one to break the dead silence, "Excuse me?" He said in a surprised voice.
"You heard me! You act as if it's not your fault." Lex said bearing his teeth.
Everyone looked up at Lex and Jack.
"What?! Di… Did I miss something?" Jack's eyes opened to full.
"STOP ACTING INNOCENT!" Lex yelled running up to Jack and slammed him in his stomach with his elbow.
Jack fell to the ground and Tai San stepped in, "This is no time for a fight, Lex! It wasn't his fault!" She said and pushed Lex back.
"What are you talking about? It's all his fault! He's the genius… He should've known better!" Lex said pushing Tai San out of the way and picked up Jack by the collar of his shirt, "And I'm gonna put him in his place!"
"Lex no!" Tai San yelled grabbing the outlaws shoulder and trying to pull him away.
Lex pulled his arm back and then slammed it into Jack's face.
"Lex stop!" Dal yelled walking over to him.
"NO!" Lex said kicking Jack in the stomach, he threw Jack to the ground and kicked him in the ribs.
"You guys Bray's up." Selene said walking over to the crowd, "LEX! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
Lex didn't stop, he picked up Jack again and threw him near Zandra's grave, "It's all your fault… and you know it! The explosion AND Zandra!" He yelled and turned around, "You know what?" He said and turned to look at Jack again, "Your not even worth the air that you breath, let alone my time!" And with that he turned and began to walk to the buildings.
Aren pushed everyone out of the way and helped Jack to his feet, "You okay mate?" He asked helping Jack to a nearby log.
"What happened?" Jack asked looking up at his partner.
"Lex kicked the living shit out of you, that's what happened." Aren said pulling out a bottle of water and handing it to Jack, "How's your head?"
"It hurts." Jack said and placed his head in his hands.
"And your stomach?" Aren asked forcing Jack to look up at him.
"I feel nauseous…" Jack said pulling away and took a sip of the cold water.
"Are you ok Jack?" Bray asked walking over to the two boys and sat down.
"His pretty banged up." Aren said looking over at his tribe leader, "Eh? Bray? You gonna have a new girl soon, huh?" Aren said smiling slyly.
"I guess, yeah, Amber and Dal, whoa, who would've known." Bray said and looked over at Jack, "And what about you Jack? Who's gonna be yours?"
Jack smiled and looked over at Aren, "I don't know Bray… I already have someone." He said and blushed.
Bray's eyes widened and he smiled back, "Wha? You and Aren? Oh that's great!' Bray said and looked over at Aren.
"Yup." Aren said looking up from the ground and smiled back.
"Uh uh, prove it!" Bray said looking at the two.
Jack's and Aren's eyes widened, "You mean you want us to kiss…r…right here?"
"Well yeah." Bray said as his left eyebrow began to rise.
Aren looked at Jack and smiled, "Ok." He said leaning over to Jack and pulling him into a kiss.
Bray's Point of View
I lean back in pain, my heart skipped as I watched the two scientists pull each other into this deep kiss of affection and passion.
… I lost him… I lost my one chance to have Jack… but he looks happy… so I guess I'm happy too…
"Ok… wow! I believe you two now!" I said and felt a big smirk cross my face as I lean in.
Jack's Point of View
I feel my cheeks heat up and I look over at Aren and smiled, "So um… Bray, what do we do now?" I ask clapping my hands together… that… was lame.
~~~~~~~~~~~ 3rd Person ~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wellll… we look for the antidote…"
~~~~~~~~~~ Undying Time Later ~~~~~~~~~~
"Jack… hand me the maps…" Bray said reaching out his left hand.
Jack shoved his hand into his pocket, pulled out a bundle of folded up pieces of paper and handed it to the leader, "Hear they are."
"Thanks." Bray said looking up at the inventor and smiled, he opened the papers up and looked at them for a few minutes and with a slight glance at Jack, he said, "Great."
He pulled one of the papers from the pile and handed it to Jack.
"Now we need to hurry up remember that the others are on their way back to the mall and Ebony and Glenn are waiting there, once you have checked all of the buildings on your map head back to the mall, I prey that we will all be back by tomorrow and everyone will be safe." And with that said he handed one of the last two papers to Lex.
"Jack, Amber and Aren, Y'all will use the one I handed to Jack. Ryan, Lex and Tai San will use the one I gave to Lex, and Martin and I will use the one I have. Any questions?"
"Yeah, if we stumble onto a problem, like if we lose one of our partners… um… what do we do?" Jack asked looking cautiously at Bray.
"What do you mean? Like if one dies?" Bray guessed.
"Yeah."
"Well if one is injured then bring them back to the mall, but if one dies, wish them luck, give your barring and hopefully we won't lose any more then what we've already lost." Bray said and with a shove… they all set off to their reserved destinations, not knowing the losses they were going to experience.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the Mall ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The door slightly opened and Glenn and Ebony looked up from their seats in the café.
"Ebony! Glenn!" Selene and Trudy yelled walking into the quiet, dark and cold room.
"Yeah, yeah… we're here." Glenn said flickering on the lights and smiled as Patsy ran up the stairs to see him, "Where are the others?" He asked noticing that Bray, Jack, Aren and the others were gone.
"Well Bray, Jack, Amber, Aren, Lex, Tai San, Ryan, and Zoo…Martin are off to look for the antidote and…" Chloe couldn't finish before Selene cut her of…
"And… Zandra's…dead…" She whispered.
"Oh…" Glenn said looking down… "Well lets get to bed… it's late."
~~~~~~~~~ Jack, Amber, and Aren ~~~~~~~~~
Jack walked over to a pile of metal and rubble… "Well… look who had fun." He said with a sigh.
"Guys…" Aren said backing away from a building in front of him… Amber and Jack turned and looked at him.
"Demon Dogs?" Jack asked and began to walk away too, "But this isn't their territory." He said raising and eyebrow.
Amber watched slowly as the Demon Dogs walked around the corner of the building and out of sight.
"What?" Jack asked taking a few steps forward, "No action?" He said walking over to the building, "Afraid? No fighting? Oh that's lame."
~~~~~~~~~~ Lex, Tai San, and Ryan ~~~~~~~~~~
Tai San looked in through the door and smiled at Ryan and Lex… I think I found what we're looking for."
"That's great…" Lex said standing up, "Ryan… you stay here… I'll go with Tai San… k?" He said as he began to shut the door.
"Kay." Ryan said smiling; he turned to the desk behind him and decided to look for the formula.
*~~~* Bray and Martin *~~~*
"Hold it right there."
Bray and Martin turned to see a girl with long black hair and in her hands… was a crossbow.
"You do anything else then breathe and I swear… I'll shoot." She warned them.

*Yeah, yeah… I know I changed a LOT of the plot but who cares… well that's it for chapter one… stay tuned for chapter two and you'll get a load of surprises… hope ya' enjoy*
