Fear The Walking Dead (1x1)

"I'll pass, then," she told him. She was so tired. Maybe she would be able to sleep if she tried. Maybe she should. Her head drooped a bit, but she fought the sleepiness.

[Light Bringer]

"Look, Malia. You really shoudl get some sleep. Looks like you're about to pass out any moment now." Troy said, quite clearly concerned.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Malia shook her head. She knew that she should, but she didn't want to be alone. She didn't want Troy to go. What if the Proctors came for her while she slept?

[Light Bringer]

"I'll be able to keep watch just outside if it'll make you feel any better." Troy offered with a shrug.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Alright.....," she agreed reluctantly. Malia began to walk towards her building in silence.
When they got there, however, Jeremiah was waiting for them. He looked extremely annoyed and mad, and seemed like he had been drinking heavily. Malia slowed to a stop a little ways from him, not wanting to get close. She looked timid suddenly, worried and kind of scared about what Jeremiah would do. She stepped back so Troy was a bit ahead of her.

[Light Bringer]

"Oh crap..." Troy muttered, slowing down a little as well. He looked back at Malia to see if she was okay since even Troy was worried about what his dad would do, especially after he's been drinking.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Malia seemed to shrink a little. She didn't look both Jeremiah or Troy in the eye. Instead, she stared at the ground, watching Jeremiah out of the corner of her eye in case he was going to do something. Malia went closer to Troy, hoping that he would be able to calm his father down.
Jeremiah approached them, looking as mad and annoyed as ever.

[Light Bringer]

"Dad..." Troy said softly, looking down slightly. He made sure that he was between Jeremiah and Malia so that, just in case something happened, he would hopefully be able to keep the peace.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Jeremiah stalked up to them. "I told you to keep an eye on her, Troy! I said, if you don't make her leave you have to keep her out of trouble! Did you do that? No, you messed up, again! Are you even good for anything?"
Then Jeremiah turned to her. "You keep on endangering my ranch! I want you gone, now! Get out of here! If I ever see you again, I'll kill you!"

[Light Bringer]

Troy silently winced at the invisible blow, he took a breath though and elevated his gaze so that he was now staring right into his fathers eyes. "Dad. No! We need everyone now! We can't afford to be kicking people out. Especially a fighter like Malia. They're going to be back regardless of whether or not she's here. Malia's staying." He said, stubbornly.
