Previously on EDEN

A mysterious hooded figure named triple A saves our survivors and patches up Rochelle. While Rochelle is in a drugged state of mild euphoria Ellis reveals his bum to AAA, Nick shows hostility towards her and Coach is saving his judgment. AAA has offered the survivors a place to stay while Rochelle heals her hunter induced wounds and Ellis' ribs heal as well. No one knows much about the new survivor other than the fact that she has found a way to travel undetected by the dead.

Now we continue our heroes journey.

Ellis followed Thea down the stairs towards the kitchen. He looked around and noticed an elliptical attached to a generator. That explained how she powered the house. Thea opened the fridge and pulled out some vegetables and corn.

"There's some antibacterial soap by the sink, wash your hands and rinse some veggies with the water."

They both washed their hands and Thea started cleaning and cutting the meat.

"So what are we making?"

"Pot roast, corn, and baked potatoes"

"Woah, that's a feast!, whats the occasion."

"Actually you guys", she said and she tossed the meat into the large crock pot."I haven't seen anyone in about 3 months so I'm enjoying the company. Please peel the carrots While I go into the freezer."

"Sure thing"

Thea walked away and Ellis peeled the carrots. The smells in the kitchen reminded him of his mother grandmother and sisters working away in the kitchen when he was younger. Before the infection struck he had a large family, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. There was always someone to talk to and laugh with no matter what time it was. There was always a baby that needed bouncing or someone that needed a hand with something. Ellis missed that noise and company. When the infection first struck in Savannah no one really knew what to make of it. One of nieces had been bitten when she was at a playground. Ellis remembered when she came home crying and his mother bandaged the bite. It was too late to make an appointment at the hospital so they decided to take her to the hospital in the morning. When Ellis' brother Robert woke up he found his daughter eating his wife. Bobby called
Ellis and their younger brother Charlie to help him hold his daughter down. When they got there Bobby had few bites on his arm and had managed to tie his daughter, Sophie to a chair. He was crying and told Ellis everything while Charlie called CEDA. They cleaned Bobby's bites and covered his wife Sally's body. They waited for a while when CEDA Showed up, they carted Sophie away and took Bobby in one of their medical vehicles. Before they left they started asking Ellis and Charlie questions and that was when Sally stood up from her bed and attacked one of the guys in the hazmat suit. Shots were fired and Sally didn't go down no matter how many bullets were shot until one hit her brain. CEDA told them to go back home and board up the house until the evac stations were ready. When the plane finally came there wasn't enough room for everyone. Ellis gave up his spot for Keith and his younger brother Charlie.

Thea came back her hands filled with food and a smile on her face.

"Thanks giving was last week so this can me our feast"

Ellis turned to look at her and smiled. "Sounds great!"

She stopped to look at him and gave him a sad smile, "remembering"

Ellis looked down at the carrots he had chopped and let out a small laugh. "kind of….Did I ever tell you about my buddy Keith?"

This is a small chapter I know but I wanted to give people insight into the life Ellis and the other survivors had before the infection and what they do to cope. Ellis tells funny stories about the brightside of life to keep his and everyone elses mind off of the current situation. Everyone has their coping mechanisms and I'm going to explore that.

Please make any suggestions or bring up any points that you believe to be necessary
