<div class="floatleft"> (http://katidamo.wikispaces.com/file/view/MadelynHeadshot.JPG/378449894/MadelynHeadshot.JPG)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Madelyn Kovac<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Outside Tristyn's Apartment<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Gray Hoodie, Phantom Tee, Blue jeans, and Gray sneakers.<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Anyone<br/><br/>Elizabeth's question brought up the one thing she was trying not to think about. She would get to that answer as she explained in response to Vivian's comment.<strong>"Deep down I think we all feel like we don't know what we are doing. I mean, some of us, we just spend so much time acting like we know what to do... Fake it till you make it... So we don't have to dwell on just how much we've lost in just a few hours. I have no idea if what I'm doing will help us in the long run or screw us into a false sense of security, but I do it because... I already know I'll never see my daddy or my brothers alive again."</strong>Her voice had been steady until the last sentence.<br/><br/>She continued a little tearfully.<strong> "So to answer your question... Now <em>both</em> my parents are dead. My entire family. I see the way you two share secret glances... Reminds me of Alice... God I miss my Allie Cat Right now..."</strong>even saying the old nickname she'd given her friend brought her a tiny bit of comfort.<br/><br/>She pulled her smartphone from her pocket and luckily still had access to Facebook. She found Alice's profile and posted a simple message to her wall. "Allie, I'm safe. I hope you are too. It may take a while... but someday I'll find you. Please survive until then."<br/><br/>She looked up from her phone and made one more simple statement.<strong>"All I'm trying to say, is we've all lost someone, and my heart is telling me that if we stay with Michael... It's the harder path... but maybe it will be worth it some day."</strong><br/><br/>With that she collected as much of the candy as she could carry.<strong>"I'm going back now. I know we aren't much yet, but it takes all kinds of people to build a society. No one is unnecessary. Are you coming?"<br/></strong><br/>She began to walk away, hoping she'd made a small difference.
