Owen looked down at Pocahontas, who was falling back to sleep. He knows she had barely been getting any sleep, her bags started to get darker. The calm, collected imagine he had of her had changed, she was just as scared as him. It had smoothed something inside of him, to be honest.

He thought she was just going to hold on to everything until she just...crashes. That didn't seem very healthy to her mental health in his opinion. He had washed most of their clothes, but they had this iron smell to them now and they were darker with brown spots. But they were better than before.

Owen knew that putting his faith and life into the hands of this lost and perhaps a little broken young woman may seem stupid, well it doesn't matter what other people thinks, it's his life. It's him that will either die or live because of her.

Owen perked up as he heard a door close. It was below them, he realized with a start. As he was about to wake up Pocahontas, he saw her hop off the bed. She's a ninja, he thought as she walked silently across the floor. She turned to him with a finger on her mouth. He nodded, she grabbed her machete that he was planning to sharpen. He slowly made his way off the bed.

Pocahontas stared at him before she just nodded. Owen felt happy that she's letting him come. His feet touched the rugged floor without a sound, he started to grab the crowbar. She slipped on her shoes as he struggled to put on his.

Pocahontas made her way to the door when they heard voices. Owen couldn't remember where he heard them, but he had. Pocahontas cursed, Owen looked questioningly at her, but she shook her head angrily. She threw open the door quietly, how? Don't ask him, he doesn't have a clue how. He labeled it as a Pocahontas thing that only she can do.

She ran quietly towards the stairs while he carefully walked toward them, he really needs to learn how to move quietly. By the time he got to the stairs, Pocahontas was already disappearing down the stairs. He groaned, he gave up and started to run down the stairs.

As he got closer to the door to the floor below them, he started to hear the voices clearer. They were female and they were the sisters. Owen winced as he heard them, get louder in volume.

"So, tomorrow we will show ourselves to them."

"Yup, wow, this place is nice."

"If you ignore the bullet holes."

"Jordan, stop being judgmental."

"Whatever, Gwen."

"Shh, you hear that ?"

Owen watched as Pocahontas sneaked up behind the oldest sister. Pocahontas looked annoyed, she coughed loudly into her fist. The sisters turned to her surprised at her 'sudden' appearance. All five of them gasped and jumped away from her.

"Holy crap!" Jordan whispered harshly.

"Pocahontas!" Aaliyah beamed at her when she registered her. Fiona held her chest in surprise. Maria looked at Pocahontas weary and cautious.

"Jesus Chirst!" Gwen looked at her wide eyed.

"What are you doing here?" Owen called out, making them jump again. "Why are you here?"

"Looking for a place to stay and we thought maybe..you guys can help us." Maria answered him even though she was staring at Pocahontas. Owen could tell they were having a silent conversation, about what? He doesn't know. "...we need a place to stay." He could tell that had a second meaning.

Pocahontas started to walk away with her hand gesturing for them to follow her. Owen followed her without a question. Okay, Owen thought to himself, what happened? He looked behind at the sisters, why did she allow them to stay? For how long? He looked at Pocahontas's head, is she mad? At who? The sisters? Herself? Him?

"Hey, did you guys remember to close the bottom door?" Owen asked the sisters, they paused. Pocahontas, who was waiting for them at the door, stared at the sisters. Fiona said shakily, "I don't remember anyone closing it."

"Shit," Owen flashed his light down the stairs. Aaliyah gasped as there was an Ender behind her. Gwen quickly kicked it in the chest, it stopped rolling as it hit the wall.

Pocahontas push aside the sisters, her machete swiftly took off the top of its head and she gesture for the others to follow her. Maria was the first one to go to her, with Owen not far behind. They flashed their lights down the stairs and...there were all of Enders.

"You fucking idiots!" Pocahontas hissed at them. The Enders started to move faster. Swinging, she hit the closest one. Owen passed the flashlight to a scared Aaliyah. Maria kicked down one, it was too crowded for them to help Pocahontas.

Owen hit one that got too close to biting Pocahontas's ankle. Owen groaned, knowing this was going to take a long time, clearing the stairs.

-x-x-

Owen huffed as he dropped another body in the big pile. Pocahontas had decided to block the glass doors that were in the front of the hotel with the dead bodies. It was disgusting and smelly and Fiona puked. But they all had puked, Maria in that plant, he puked in a corner, Aaliyah on the body of an ender on the staircase. Yeah, it wasn't pretty or very nice.

"I-I am sorry, but-"

"It's okay, Fiona, go sit." Maria told her swaying sister. Fiona was a very motherly person, she also had a weak stomach and that was proved by her puking and gagging.

"Dammit, this is gross." Jordan said as she held up a hand. Gwen shook her head at her older sister.

"Shit, they ate this dude's junk!" Gwen said as she looked at one of the bodies, it was one of the rare nude ones Owen had seen.

"Eww, I am not helping with that! " Aaliyah turned away from the body.

"God, go away if you are not going to help." Maria said as she grabbed it's feet and started to pull while she avoid looking at the body.

"Gladly, "Aaliyah went by Fiona, who was sitting on the wooden desk. "That was disgusting." Fiona avoided looking at the body.

"Are we almost done?" Owen asked as he dragged away a tiny form. The place looked like a murder scene or a massacre.

"Well, I can't barely see out of the window, soo?" Gwen looked at Pocahontas who was staring at the doors.

"I think we are done." Maria also looked at her, Owen noted. It seems like they all are following her, hmm. Does she notice that? Probably, he looked at Pocahontas.

"Maybe we should go through the hotel one more time, make sure we got every ender." Owen suggested to Pocahontas.

"We stick together, we watch each other, don't wonder, understood?" She said finally. They nodded at her, she looked at everyone carefully. "Let's roll out."

"Did you just copy Optimus Prime?"

"He's awesome, so yes, yes I did."

"He is."

"Bumblebee is better."

"Jazz is."

"Idiots, it's Megatron."

"Shut up, Jordan."

-x-x-x-

Owen nodded towards Gwen, who nodded to Jordan, who nodded towards Pocahontas. Looking around the cafeteria, Owen heard his stomach growl at the thought of food. "Can we eat now?"

"Yeah, let's go up to the room." Pocahontas whispered, her voice cracked a bit.

"You don't talk too much, do you?" Gwen asked curiously. Pocahontas nodded her head, "that must hurt your throat."

"I bet, you should have told us. We could have done something, like give you a notebook and a pen." Fiona said with a worried face.

Jordan snorted, "that wouldn't have worked. Especially when we were fighting." Fiona furrowed her eyebrows, she frowned, knowing her sister was right.

"Yeah, Jordan is right, but she could use it when we are not fighting." Jordan nods at that and Fiona smiled brightly. Maria continued, "but we can't chance Pocahontas's voice stops working during a fight. Maybe we can come up with signals for certain things. Simple things, like moving forward, stopping, wait, attack, and other things."

"I have to go to the bathroom," Aaliyah said quietly as she looked at the ground with a little blush. Owen froze, well, crap.

-x-x-

"I can't go." Aaliyah whispered.

"What do you mean?" Jordan called back as everyone looked confused at the door.

"I can't go with you guys listening to me." She said even quieter than before.

"Just go, please." Gwen begged her sister, she was hungry Owen thought as he looked at the other teen.

"It's okay, sweetheart, everyone goes to the bathroom. " Fiona said comforting as she walked to the door.

"It's embarrassing knowing everyone can hear you go." Aaliyah said softly through the door.

"I know, but you should go, it's unhealthy to hold it in." Fiona said, the other sisters agreed with her. After that Owen started to hear the sound of someone...well, going to the bathroom. He shifted in his spot uncomfortable, well this is awkward. Pocahontas elbowed him in his side.

"So...can we stay with you? You know, become a group?" Gwen asked Pocahontas, ignoring the looks her sisters were sending her. "None of us are leaders, we are natural followers and you are a somewhat natural leader. Why else would we follow you here?"

Pocahontas looked at Maria, who was staring back. Another silent talk, Owen whined in his head. Jordan looked annoyed at them, "at least, let us know what the hell you guys are talking about." She growled at them, not as scary as Pocahontas, Owen thought.

"All right," Pocahontas grumbled, but she rolled her eyes.

"I am done," Aaliyah said as she walked out of the bathroom.

-x-

"A run? Why?" Maria questioned Pocahontas, who wasn't even fazed by her glare. The young people looked at them like a tennis match.

This food will only last for so long and we need others.

"It won't be safe to bring in other people, they could be dangerous!"

I let you guys into my territory and I am done talking.

"Fine! But everyone is going and we have to make sure the people we bring in the group is safe."

No shit, sherlock. But you are going to act like the leader, but I am still the leader. Pocahontas stared at her calmly, she snorted.

"No shit, sherlock. I don't like being a leader, the whole reason we followed you." Maria said shamelessly.

We are going to use the ford and another car.

"We have a car," Maria said confused.

One where you can jump out of, quickly. Moron, Pocahontas smirked at her.

"Shut up!" She shouted embarrassed.

Everyone knows the plan? Pocahontas stared at everyone who nodded. Pocahontas pulled on Eddie.

"Let's roll out!"

"Jazz!"

"Megatron!"

"Bumblebee!"

"Nope!"

"Can we find another guy, PLEASE!?"

-x-x-

They were walking quickly, they had made it to a street that had a lot of stores. They had decided to go to the pharmacy first. Pocahontas held up her with all of her fingers up and spread apart. The group silently shifts into a different spot, Pocahontas first, Owen, Aaliyah, Fiona, Jordan and Maria last.

Pocahontas gestured to the back of the store, they looked around and moved. Pocahontas stabbed the ender in the head, Owen hit another. Aaliyah quickly pulled a little box that was filled with tools can be used to unlock things. Grabbing a Bobby pin, she started to move it around.

"You got it?" Fiona asked her quietly.

"I spend two days, doing nothing but learning this. I am still a beginner, please a bit patient." She whispered back as she continued to try to unlock the door.

"Can't-" Jordan grunted as she pushed one off." A bit faster-dammit- please."

"I am trying to!"

"Well, try harder!"

"Guys, shut up and do your jobs!" Gwen interrupted their argument, she kicked away an ender.

"Well-*click* I guess I am done."

"Ready?" Fiona asked as she gripped the doorknob.

"As best as we could be." Fiona nodded and opened the door. They ran in the pharmacy, with Maria, hitting an ender at the end of the line.

They pushed against the door, Aaliyah turning on the flashlight. Owen locked the door as he was the closest to the knob.

"Well, we found you a guy, Owen."

"Ha, it sounded like he was gay."

"I am not gay, Jordan." He growled.

"Denial!" She sang.

-x-

He blocked the light with hand, using his body to shield his baby sister from the unknown. The light blocked away the group from his view, leaving him to listening to the odd group. He flinched and clung to his only family left as a feminine shape moved in the light. The light continued to hide her as if it was protecting her from his sight.

"I know you," the unknown bent down a bit. "...Your family, I helped you at the beginning of this mess." The female's calming voice said.

He remembered a young lady, who had given them the keys to the gray jeep with food. He stared at her watery-eyed, will she help them again? "P-Please, help u-us."

"Where's your father, Jason right?" The woman asked him, he nodded before he remembered where his pa is.

"Out there." He pointed at the store part. "My Ma and sister are out there too."

"Hey, there." A older boy walked towards them. "I am Owen Lake, what's your name?" The boy couldn't help but relax at the cheerful teenager.

"Jason James Junior, call me Junior or J.J.." he said quietly.

"Are you going to tell me her name, J.J.?" Owen pointed at the sleeping toddler. J.J held her tight as he looked warily at the other people.

"...Sarah." He said hesitantly, Owen beamed.

"Come on, we have water and food. Let's get something in you." Owen held out his hand, he looked at it and he reached for it.

"I am going to check on the rest of his family." One of the younger females said. J.J looked at her in horror.

"NO! You can't!" He yelled.

"Why not?" The youngest voice called out.

"Cause they ain't livin' any more." He said sadly, "my pa got bit, then he bit my ma and my older sister tried to help."

"Oh," a small form ran to him and hugged him. "It's going to be okay, my sis, Jordan and Pocahontas can go put them down now. You can come with us, right Maria? Pocahontas?" She looked at the person who had helped them and another one he couldn't see.

"...Maybe," another voice said. J.J started to shake, "please, please just take her then, please."

"Maria, come on, look at the little shit." A rude voice said.

"Come on, Jordan's right, what if this was one of us and Aaliyah, huh?" A soft voice said.

"Fuck! Okay, let's just get our shit and go. Pocahontas and Gwen, you got the family." The leader, Maria (?) Ordered.

"Okay, we got this." Owen said excitedly. "Come on, I will hold your sister. " J.J moved a bit, Owen slowly grabbed her and J.J. had to hold back the impulse to become a human shield against the monstrous world for his sister once again.

J.J. stared at that guy's face, noticing the way his cloud colored eyes were like the ones that showed up just before it started to rain. His smile seemed to bring this warmth and relief in his heart, J.J. wanted to smile, laugh, and thank them, but all he could manage to do was let out a cry. He cried in relief, knowing his sister and him were going to live another day. He didn't care that he had to live in this cruel, cold world.

He threw himself towards the older boy, ignoring the way Owen had to catch himself before he could fall down. He sobbed, knowing he has a better future ahead of him.

-x-

Fiona took the little girl from his arms as the older brother wouldn't let go of him. Owen wrapped his arms around him, knowing that J.J. wouldn't want to talk, he probably just wanted comfort. Aaliyah giggled, " come one. We have to fill our bags."

Owen moved around, trying to get loose from his strong grasp. He groaned as Aaliyah's giggles got louder as he continued his attempts at freedom. "Can you at least loosen your hold, I gotta to do my job."

"Sorry," J.J. mumbled into his shirt, and slowly let go. Owen smiled at him, opening the bag that had a couple of small knives and food. Everyone had one-you never know-, so that if we get separated, we have something to help. Not much, but it's something that can help.

"You got a bag? If you do, start to fill it up with things." Owen told him. Turning around, Owen walked to a shelf. His eyes started to adjust to the dark as Aaliyah took the light with her. Looking at the medicine, he had no clue what to grab.

"Hey Owen, just grab one of everything, okay?" He looked at Fiona and nodded.

"Junior, you grab medicine too." J.J. looked at the woman and grabbed the bag he had been using to store food in. It was almost empty, all that was left was this kind of protein bars.

He started to grab bottles from the bottom shelves while Owen did the higher ones. By the time, they got done with the line, their bags were filled. Owen grabbed his hand and pulled him towards where the others were.

"-rary, we can get books for other things too." The girl said, she pulled on her pink dirty hair.

"What's the plan, P-Maria?" Owen asked as he set his duffel bag on the counter. They looked at them, more precisely J.J. with a guarded look.

"Aaliyah suggested that we go back to our hotel and dropped off the medicine. Then pack more stuff, so we can go to a library that could days to get to and come back with everything. To be honest, I think it's a great plan. We can get books on plants, survive things, medical information and other things. But.." Maria trailed off.

"It could be dangerous and I don't think it's a good idea to risk our lives for books." The rude one said.

"But it could have information that can help us later, especially the medical books, we got to think ahead. Jordan, what if we get sick and it's not a common cold." The woman who was still holding his sister said.

"Fiona is right, but I agree that we shouldn't all risk our lives for it." A teenage girl said as she leaned on the counter, looking at everyone in the eyes. Maria nodded at that, she looked at the ceiling as she bit her bottom lip.

"We will send out two people, that's it. We will decide that later, but for now we get back to the hotel." She nodded her head at her own plan, before she looked at the person who had helped his family out.

"Oh, before we forget, I am Fiona." The newly named person said as she smiled at him.

"I am Gwen," the young teenage girl said.

"Aaliyah, nice to meet you. " She waved her hand at him.

"Jordan, don't forget it." The rude one said as she glared at him.

"Maria," the leader said simply.

"You know who I am, but-" Owen pointed at the last one. "That's Pocahontas." The woman looked at him with a hardened look, he squirmed in his spot. Her lips turned into a teasing smirk, her eyes softened a bit, not much, but enough to calm him down.

She said softly, "well, let's go."

"Hmph, at least you aren't coping robots anymore." Jordan said, rolling her eyes.

"He is an alien." Gwen said a little snobbish.

"Whatever, miss little know it all." She sneered. Gwen looked a little hurt and mad.

"Calm down," Fiona said as she got between the two females before they started to get louder.

"Let's go before the Enders come here." The leader said with Pocahontas nods silently.

"Enders?" He furrowed his eyebrows, confused by the word.

"Those things outside." Owen waved his hand towards the windows.

"Walkers?" He asks, confused. Everyone else looked at each other, Jordan snorted. Gwen chuckled, Fiona laughed into her hand and Aaliyah giggled. Owen looked ready to bust out laughing.

"What? What's so funny?"

"Nothing." Owen smiled.

-x-x-x-

J.J. looked at the hotel, the front doors had piles of bodies in front of it. He gagged, he hide his face and covered his sister's eyes. Owen winced, they don't think about that part and how J.J and Sarah would react. "Sorry about that, we couldn't find wood and the bodies were there..." Owen scratched his head.

"Can we go around them?" He asked.

"Not really, but if go through the garage we will only see a bit of it. Luckily, we have to go that way, anyways." Owen explained and he smiled at J.J who smiled back hesitantly.

"What's the name of this-are you kidding me?!" He looked at the sign above the entrance to the garage. "No wonder you guys were laughing, the name is Walkers' Hotel." He shivered, he couldn't help it. He pictured a hotel filled with those monsters and he was stuck inside with them. Screaming as they tore into him and the last thing he would see is the cold, dead eyes of something that was once a human. His ender would be a tiny thing that had a ponytail, a once blue dress and a familiar face that was bloody and maybe it would be missing bits of its face.

He looked at his sister who was confused, but comfortable with her position on Fiona's lap. He quickly noted the freckles that were scattered across her face, her tiny nose that was scrunched up, her confused expression. Her chocolate eyes took in everything with frightened wonder, her bright fiery hair was pulled back, leaving behind gently wavy bangs. She looked very fragile, delicate, almost doll-like.

Sarah, while having their father's eye color, she took after their mother more. J.J had seen a photo of their ma when she was tiny, Sarah was like a replica of her. He felt the familiar emotions run through his veins, protective, determination and love. She was all he got, all that was left of his family and he didn't watch her become one of those enders. He wanted her to survive, to live, to grow old, to have gray hair and he was willing to die for her future.
