"All is lost... Hope remains..."

Lukas sure had an interesting fighting style, but what really had me interested was that he was fighting me like any other guy. I couldn't believe how fun his style was! Even though I would never admit it so I tried to keep my expression blanket as possible, but it was quite hard. Especially the slight shock and fear that ran through me as I saw his counter attack.

For a moment, I had no idea what I was going to do my mind was blanket and my body froze, I almost thought he had knocked me out, but at the very last second I somehow managed to move but ended up triping and hitting my shoulder, hard. A flash of pain went through me, but it was a lot better than what I knew I would be feeling if I hadn't moved in time. Besides, this was just going to make it even more interesting.

"You okay?"

I asked him with a soft smile as I walked over to where his body was laying on the ground. He didn't seem to be in pain, but men always tried to mask their true feelings. I just knew better than to get to close, just in case we were continuing, hiding my own pain, so he wouldn't take pity on me like I knew he would.

Ash had dodged at the last second, leaving Lukas falling forward until he landed hard on the floor. He may have been hurt, but he didn't care to think about it, as he had heard Ash land equally as hard. Some fight... he thought.

"You okay?" she asked him, and he was unable to tell what her intentions were. His whole body hurt from the crash onto the floor, but there was no way that he would tell her that and reveal weakness. He stood up as quickly as he could, wincing internally.

"I'm fine," he said easily, smiling. "How are you?" He still had his guard up, waiting to see if she would strike again, but somehow he doubted that she would. "This really wasn't a good idea, was it?" he laughed slightly. "I do believe you now, though. I might just have to put some girls on guard duty, if they all fight like you!"

Lukas had his pride, but he knew when he had been beaten. As he waited for Ash to answer that she was fine, which he could tell that she would, he smiled again. She had a tough exterior, and he knew that she must be hiding her pain with the same resolve that he was.

I watched Felix and the two boys carefully making sure they weren't being mean to him or anything. Anyone could tell how nervous Felix was with his rambling ons, and the boys seemed to just be queit and listen until he finally stopped. After a few seconds they finally grinned and patted the smaller Felix on the back before heading off in the direction of where ever he was going to begin with.

Looks like he's made some friends. I thought with a grin as I turned back to the rest of the kids. They all seemed preoccupied. Well, almost everyone that was actually awake was older kids, thankfully. I don't think I could stand dealing with the smaller ones if they were up. I usually had the other elder kids put up with them.

He breathed a sigh of relief when the boys agreed to come with him, leading them back to the pile of walkie talkies before heading outside with them. Bow hadn't followed him, so he assumed that she had gone off to train with everyone else. The weather was nice outside, not too hot or too cold.

"So, just get as far apart as possible, and turn one on," Felix told the other boys, divvying up the walkie talkies between the three of them. "With any luck we'll be able to talk." He smiled, glad that they weren't laughing at him or something equally embarrassing. They headed off across the lawn, greeted by a buzz of radio static when they turned on the walkie talkies.

After about an hour Felix concluded that everything was working. By that point he was laughing and talking with Alex and Jim, coming out of his shell a little. He was definitely happier than he had been, gesturing jokingly as they carried the walkie talkies back. "I need to tell Bow that everything is all set," Felix told them, and they split up when they reached the house, setting all of the walkie talkies inside. Felix went looking for Bow, hoping that she would be happy with the new equipment.

(Thought I should tell you this, but I won't be on tonight or until late tomorrow, hope you don't mind!)

((That's fine. Thanks for letting me know.))

"All is lost... Hope remains..."

"Great!"

I said as I gave him a pat on the back, grinning widely, something unusal for me. When Lukas stood up, I could somehow tell he was in pain too, but man was he hiding it well... Lukas was just like any other guy, didn't want to show weakness in front of a girl, typical guy. At least he admitted that girls weren't just housewives, not in form, but still.

"We should so do that again!"

I chuckled, still grinning from ear to easr. I knew he was probably staring at me like I was nuts but that was the most fun I'd had in such a long time! I couldn't stop myself, I must of gotten used to always standing on the side lines that I forgot all about how fun it was to interact once and awhile.

Ash was definitely nuts. Batty. Crazy. Not to mention other words that Lukas wouldn't want to say in front of a girl. But, at the same time, he liked her spirit. She was definitely someone that he would want to have at his back in a fight, if he could forget for a second that she was a girl. But, after that short fight, he was sure that he could forget, at least when it was important to.

"Again? I don't know about that!" he laughed, shaking his head in disbelief, but overall his tone was good-natured. "What I was thinking was maybe you could help out with raiding that mattress store. It seems like a more practical use of your talents. Are you hiding any other girls around here that can fight like that?" His tone was joking, but he was honestly curious. Maybe Ash had been teaching the other girls when he hadn't been paying attention.

"Anyway, I really want to get some sleep. So why don't you think about it? I might need a little help with the planning, too." Lukas' smile changed, becoming more caring, rather than his previous, in charge expression. "It's good to have someone around that can keep up with me."

I couldn't help but feel proud for somehow getting him to open up a little to the others. Sure they were all sorta loners but now none of those kids would be classifed as a loner since they hopefully will all stay friends. For some reason, I feel like a match maker.

A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I turned away from the slowly growing group of kids towards the hall, heading back to my floor. I knew it was about time a re-bandaged my wound from earlier. It wasn't as painful but I didn't want to waste the little medicine we had on myself. Besides it was my own stupid fault. I should have been more aware of my surroundings when entering unknown territory.

Even now, I'm wasting bandages that are well needed in our little family. I might have to go back out tonight and see if I could look for some more meds and stuff. Well, I should rest before that, besides I haven't really slept for awhile and I need the energy.

Quickly I finished with my wound and throw the used bandages in the bathroom where I would clean them and hopefully reuse them before returning to the large yet rather empty room. I laid down on the couch, which was in the middle of the room, and closed my eyes. It was only a matter of second before sleep came over me and I was lost in the dreamworld,a memory from long. long ago.

Felix wandered through the big mansion, looking for Bow, but there didn't seem to be any sign of her, and when he asked the other kids it seemed like the last time he had seen her was when she went upstairs. Well, she's probably in her room, he thought to himself. I'll just go look for her there. He walked through the common area upstairs quickly, and knocked softly on Bow's door. It was open a crack, but he didn't want to be rude.

There was no immediate response, so he pushed it open. "Hey, Bow," he whispered, feeling like a trespasser. "Are you there?" He cursed himself, unable to speak louder for some reason. She wasn't around, and her bathroom door was open. Felix didn't dare go in there, but he could see bloody bandages on the floor. Gasping, he rushed out of her room, convinced that he would get in trouble for seeing what he had.

When he made it back into the common room, he saw Bow sleeping like the dead on the couch, almost invisible against the fabric. Even so, he couldn't see how he had missed her there in the first place, even if he had been distracted by the thought that she must be in her bedroom. He felt horrible for invading her privacy when it hadn't been necessary. He plopped down on a chair opposite her couch, waiting for her to wake up, staring at the ceiling. After a while, he fell asleep himself.
