1x1 (For PartyPoison and Echelon)

His words washed over her, slipping away instantly. Except those two words "come back" that had never been spoken to Allaina before. She broke into a dead sprint, going nowhere, just away from where she was and away from the person who had told her to "come back." Cameron could try to follow her and just wait for her to collapse then drag her back, or he could deal with it and move on, try to find someone else in this now empty world. If he let her go, she could die and hopefully there was no afterlife where she would remember telling him what she had. Those were some of the things she had told herself over and over not to share. Over and over and over and over. Her feet hit the ground at a pace that surprised her, but she was fading. After only a short time, she began to stumble increasingly, and eventually fell flat on her face, making no move to get up. Allaina just stayed there, waiting for her death.

Refusing to let her get far without talking to her, Cam followed after her as best he could. If she was really this mad, he was in deep sh*t when she came back, if she did. Good job stupid, you messed everything up again, a voice laughed at him from the back of his mind. "Allaina, where'd you go?" He called again, walking now, listening for her steps or the sound of her breathing. Nothing reached his ears, and the silence scared the life out of him. Nothing should have been so quiet.

(Sorry, busy weekend, and tons of homework. I just kind of lost the post when I did hop on.)

"No..." Allaina muttered, still without moving. The silence that hung in the air after she spoke was torture for her. Silence had always been sweet and welcoming and nice for Allaina but now it was agonizing. It was an indestructible wall with "Take me down" painted across it in dripping red paint, and she was surrounded with endless weapons of mass destruction that were completely useless. Things like this, impossible things always killed her, and she had learned to avoid them at all costs, but this silence could not be avoided. "No no no no no no no no no..." she went on, trying to break the silence. But even as she spoke, the silence was still there, just being hit by her words. Nothing could break it.

{That didn't make sense at all... Sorry. I can tone down her craziness if it's too much.}

(Crazy is fine. c: If I get something mixed up though, just let me know. I'll fix it, because I like to jumble things at times.)

When Cam finally heard a voice he turned and raced towards it, the whisper of sound taunting him as he tried to follow it's trail. "Allaina, please, talk to me. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings." Calling out the words, he was sure he meant them this time. Causing so much trouble with his rude attitude was wrong. It made him feel two inches tall, and he looked around corners until he saw a form laying on the ground. He walked over to her, careful in case she was still mad at him and decided to hit him or something of the like. "Allaina, talk to me. Please, I didn't mean to be so rude." Clueless still, he pressed the issue of his inapt manners.

"Don't be so quick to assume that you're at fault," she replied in a whisper. Allaina made a faint move to get up, but was far too worn out after running and not having eaten in so long. Hopefully, this could end it. But, what about Cameron? He seemed like he really cared about her running off... "No," she said, not realizing that she was speaking aloud, "that's absurd. A complete impossibility." Perhaps though, with her being the only other person left, he felt that he needed her company no matter how terrible she was. Suddenly, Allaina was aware of someone other than herself, a feeling foreign to her, and she hated it.

"What's an impossibility? And if you're not mad at me, why did you run off? Is it because of the human thing?" Cameron steadily gazed down at her face, no lost and confused two times more than before. And you thought it was bad when the world ended, there was that voice again. It chose what annoyed him most and picked at him. Sooner or later it would drive him mad, that he was sure of. "Allaina, please just get up. We can go find somewhere sheltered to talk. I don't want to be out here to long. Who knows what's left of the planet." Then he rested a hand on her arm, trying to get her attention.

Allaina nearly jumped out of her own skin when he touched her and attempted frantically to move away from him. She found herself sitting upright, hugging her knees to her chest in fear. Never had she wanted to feel the touch of another on her skin and now the feeling of his hand remained, as if it was imprinted on her. "Don't do that," she ordered, her voice wavering. She got up rather ungracefully, quivering with weakness, dizzy and stumbling.

"You don't look like you'll be able to get very far. Just get over it and let me help you." Cameron told her, but he hesitated, waiting for her approval. Frightening her again would be stupid, so he'd let her choose when he would help. Either way they were getting somewhere a little safer. Something about where they were held a chill in the bottom of his stomach. "Allaina, we're all that is left, you have to trust me." He muttered before gently pushing her forward a little, he had unconsciously moved closer to her, in case she fell as she probably had before to end up on the ground.

[Red1823]

"I said don't do that. If I fall, I fall. I'll just get back up," Allaina answered with a step away from him. She began to shuffle along, guessing that he would suggest somewhere to go before too long. Trust was nonexistent and she couldn't change that. Even though it might hurt him... "No. Shut up," she told herself, yet again not realizing that she was speaking aloud.

{Sorry about the length, I haven't been feeling well lately and I have a headache}

[Never & Rush]

A small snort came from Cam, "You need the help, plus, I'm not going to tell you where I had in mind unless you let me help you." Still he walked beside her as she stumbled, reaching out a little each time he thought she might fall, but still not touching her again. "I didn't say a word," Cam spoke up after she had said to shut up. His gaze flicked to her, making sure she wasn't about to fall over.

(Oh, it's okay. I hope you feel better)
