"Not now. But soon. If you're healed enough, then you may come along. But if not, you're to be transferred to another place. One thats run by the good guys- and I'll be in the area, to help you escape there too."

He closed his eyes. "There isn't a safe lab in this world, like this one. All the others are always under bomb tthreat. Thats why everyone holds out here. Thats what everyone said when I was in the lab."

Guys, I think I'm going to a competition for a full ride college scholarship!
The next morning, Miranda was wide awake, drinking a cup of black coffee a passerby had offered her. She didn't stare at Nick, instead focusing her steely gaze on a tree trunk.

Nick was stirring slightly in his sleep- weather this was a good sign was yet to be determined, but it held the promise of his awakening, so that unknown would not be for long.
"It would be terrible if I made it there, only to die by rubble." He rasped.

I have to go up to Columbus Ohio (about 4 or 5 hours from where I live), go do an interview, then write an essay. I'm anxious, but ANY amount of money would be helpful, not just full ride.
Then, in March, I have to audition for the music school.
Miranda finally looked at Nick, and brushed the hair from his face. She smiled slightly, feeling more tenderness for this one person than she had for anyone else. She withdrew from him, and looked up at the first rays of light peeking through the leaves.

Well, best of luck, love.
One beam, specifically, drifted through the branches, past the leaves; its soft morning light kissed Nicks face, and he woke soon after, as if that ray had pulled him from the shallow darkness. His green eyes stared at nothing for a while, clouded still with sleep and, yes, faint pain, but a smile drifted across his face as he realized who sat beside him, and the smile spoke honestly about relief, if nothing else.
Avar let out a long sigh,a s if accepting his fate. "...Yeah, okay."

Thanks guys!
I mean, overall, tuition will be 35,00 or so. BUT, if I get the full ride, I'll just have to pay room and board, and the music school fee.
Miranda smiled at him and said, "Morning, Nick. Were you able to sleep okay? I mean, if I had been in your place, I probably wouldn't have slept a wink. But... I assume you have a high threshold for pain?"

Well, some is better then nothing.
Avar nodded. He didn't know what else to do, or believe.
Nick nodded, but was content to stay where he was. "I've had some rough encounters- we all have, you know? But you build up a tolerance." He sighed, and close dhis eyes again. "....I think one is broken. the ribs, I mean. The others are just bruised."

Plus, the school is for musical theater.
Miranda said, "Do you think we should take you to a doctor in the city? I mean... you need to get it fixed, or checked at least. Traveling with a broken rib is dangerous.

Which is right up your alley x3
"Going back to the city is dangerous, girly-girl; why do you think so many of us have left it?" He sat up then, wincing slightly. "If I can get to Rapid, then I'll be home free. The city we left- I know we picked you up on the outskirts, so I'm not sure how much you've heard. But the cops, and NARO, they're killing people in there. I mean, they've been pushing deadly force and threats and other violent means on us for years, but... They just up and opened fire on us. Not even the f*cking monsters, they opened fire on civilians. On people. That's why they're so many men, women, children on the road right now, with everything they got on their backs."
He nodded. "I just, I want to go with you bad. Loneliness is something fierce."

that sounds just right for you.
Willard kissed his cheek. "I know what you mean." He whispered. "I hate loneliness."

Exactly! plus, one of my closest friends goes there, and because she's the only person I know there, I could have a practically clean slate. I can meet new people, see a new city!
Miranda leaned over slightly, moving to support him. "Well... I've known that. In the factories, people would be taken out, told they were simply going to a meeting or getting lunch. But they never came back, and new people took their places." She then added, "But you should know I'm not letting you go alone. That would be horrible on my part, and stupid on yours, if you did choose to go alone."

You don't need a clean slate, do you? Im sure everyone loves you.
Nick took to her side gingerly, although weather this was out of pain or dignity was a matter for Miranda to solve. "Oh, the stuff about people dissapearing is nothing new. Going on for years and years. But the open-fire. Thats what got everyone all worked up. One minuet, were carrying on with our everyday life, however unusual it may be due to the war. The next... The next, everyone is falling, dying and tumbling over each other, and women are screaming[.i] for their children and men move to try and protect their crippling families and no one thought they were getting out of that alive. I saw it break out up in... well, my work. Where I work, it isn't important. Anyways, I ducked out, running like a jackrabbit to get out of there, the center, the deep city- and lady luck was on my side. I made it. Didn't have any relations left in the city, so it was easy to split with what I had on my back." He heaved afew breaths, tired out from all the explanation. After several long, agonizingly silent minuets, he turned back to Miranda. "Now... You know, as I recall, you, too, were alone. It isn't decent for a pretty little lady to be traveling on her own. What gives?"
"Lonliness and I- were good friends." He muttered, softly. "But I don't want to go back to him."

"You and loneliness were closer, but you and I... We'll be closer." Willard whispered into Avar's ears, his one hand supporting Avar's head, the other wrapped around his waist.

Avars face burned a bit, nervous a bit by the intimidation reflected in Willards voice, and excited, flustered; Willards breath drifted over his face, and Avar took in the scent greedily.
