Thomas was in his house when he felt the rumble in his feet, it made him off balance and fall, having to dodge falling objects until he could safely get back up again.
Once he could he quickly moved to exit his house to see if everyone was okay, and that no houses had collapsed in on themselves. He grabbed a jacket on the way out of the house.
If he were to guess he would say it was an earthquake, and a bad one at that but he wasn't sure.
After getting in his car and driving through his neighborhood, he spotted a damaged car on its back, he drove up to it and parked his car.
he rushed over to it, seeing laz and two others.
he quickly moved to pry the door open, pulling lazarus out of the car. he moved to check his pulse, exhaling once he found out he was alive.
he carried him to the car and gently set him down inside with the door open, he then checked the pulse of the other two and cursed when he didnt feel any pulse.
poor kid..

Days had gotten darker, storms rolling over the forests of Virginia. Laz watched the clouds angrily move across the sky, resting his head on his palm. It would rain soon, one could smell the dreariness it brought. He watched as the wind bat around the trees aggressively, amused as leaves fell to the ground. The cloud had moved to obscure the sun, darkening the room. Only light from lamps remained, making Laz’s eyes adjust to the harsher light. A hand was placed on his should and he turned his head to see his mother.

“Don’t you want to make cookies? That’s your favorite dessert, isn’t it?” His mother wondered, placing the doughy spoon near her mouth. She had her black hair tied back into a bun, wearing a sun dress with flower patterns.

“I want to watch the storm! I like to watch the rain hit the ground. It bounces like a bouncy ball.” Laz turned his attention back to the growing darkness. Small droplets of water hit the ground, flashed of lightning created a web in the sky.

“Are you sure? It could be the last you’d ever make with me.” Her face glitched. The spoon dropped to the ground. Laz turned his head, screaming as the dream world crumbled around him.

The Laz grounded in reality screamed, feeling the pain spread across his body. He couldn’t comprehend what had happened, only that his head pounded, pain shot through his arm, and his back was sore. He kept his eyes squeezed shut, not interested in figuring out where he was. A shark pain spread throughout his right leg, and he instantly knew his ankle was snapped.

Vera followed in after Lucky, having to limp a bit as she walked. she spotted a bag hanging on one of the hooks in a aisle and decided to take it, it was decent sized. she could put stuff in it instead of just carrying it.
she moved to put different types of food in the bag, along with any drinks that she could find that weren't pre opened or tampered with.

Lucky was tossing things in the backpack he'd brought with him. Within a couple minutes it was full. He got Vera's attention. "I'm headed back out to the truck. We'll leave in about 5 minutes, Uncle Tim doesn't wanna stay too long." He headed out to the truck, setting his backpack under the tarp in the back. He went to the passengers side and opened the door, before tilting his seat forward so Vera could climb in the back when she was ready.
He waited for Uncle Tim to get back, trying not to look like he was standing guard, but definitely feeling conspicuous with the rifle strapped to his back.

She nodded back to him, moving to grab something’s for when she saw her siblings. She didn’t want to think about the what ifs that were popping into her mind.
She took a deep breath and moved to head back to the truck where she spotted lucky sitting in the passenger seat.
She took one good luck at the place before moving to climb her way into the back of the truck.
please be safe…
She found herself looking out the window in case she spotted them. She was wishing badly that they would just appear out of nowhere so she could embrace the, and take her with them.
She was supposed to keep them safe, she was the oldest sister.
Yet she hardly had done that since their parents had died.

Thomas heard the kid scream in pain and rushed over to him, looking him over and figuring he must be hurting badly. He examined his legs and ankle only to find out that his ankle was in bad condition. He cursed internally and moved to get his first aid kit out. He grabbed some wrap and moved to put it around his ankle trying to at least make a makeshift cast for it.
“It’s gonna be alright kid.’

Lucky could tell that Vera was nervous, and worried about her siblings. He tilted his seat back into its normal position and climbed into the truck.
About a minute later, Uncle Tim came back with several bags slung over his shoulder. He tossed them all in the bed of the truck and climbed into the driver's seat. He glanced back at Vera.
"Well, glad you've joined us." He looked at Lucky. "Can always use one more on the farm, can't we?"
Lucky nodded and smiled back at her. "See? You're welcomed."
They took off down the streets, avoiding sections with obvious rioting, and headed out of town towards the farm.

She gave a smile to the uncle when he climbed back into the car, "thank you for letting me come, I don't know what I would have done otherwise." She nodded to lucky, offering a smile to him as well though she was still extremely nervous internally.
She moved back to looking out the window as they drove off towards the farm and out of the city.
She just hoped that they stuck together and were able to keep each other safe long enough for her to reach them.

The ten minutes back to the farm passed slowly. Lucky was still thinking about the mess the little town has been in, and how much worse it must be in the bigger cities. It worried him.
They got back to the farm, and the cousins came out to help unload. Tante Sophia came out as well, but upon seeing Vera, she changed from loading to comforting.
"Well, hello there!y name is Sophia, welcome to our home. And who are you?" She was a gentle soul with an inviting smile, and Lucky had always loved how she people at ease.

She came so close to crying on the trip back to the farm but held it in not wanting to be a burden to the people that already helped her a lot more then she was expecting.
She moved to get out of the car, cast and all as she leaned against the car she looked up and saw tante Sofia.
She reminded her a little bit of her mom.
"Oh uh- I'm Vera. Vera kizuki miss. They invited me to come stay at your house, I injured my foot but I can still help out." She spoke, close to crying again about how she reminded her of her mother even if just a little bit.

Tanta Sophia could tell Vera was on the verge of tears, and moved in to give her a hug.
"You poor dear… come inside, sit down, and have something to eat. We'll get you taken care of." he gestured at the farm boys. "They'll do the heavy lifting, don't you worry about that."

Lucky watched his aunt work her calming magic. He was glad they'd brought Vera, but he worried.
He was planning on leaving the farm. This close to the nuke in Washington, they'd be getting fallout pretty soon, and he didn't want to stick around for that. He needed to get back to Europe and get to Marie.
He worried if Vera stayed and they all got sick or died, that he'd feel responsible. He had no lcue how he would even know that, but… well. It worried him.

She hugged her back, giving that little extra squeeze as she sniffled. She didn't want to cry all over this nice women's clothes as she just met her but she felt a comforting presence from her. She moved to nod along with what she was saying, wiping her eyes a bit from time to time as they would leak a tear or two.
"Alright…thank you for having me." She spoke, still feeling bad she couldn't help out.
