Rescue Me

Weeks past and the small gathering in the warehouse grew into a massive tribe. Bray and Lola grew closer but they have not broken the barrier between friends and a little more, even through they both want to. Lex and Ebony spent most of their time training the militia while Bray and Lola worked on the details.

"Do you really think this will work? I mean what if it doesn't? What good will that do?" Ebony sighed as she plopped herself down on the sofa next to Lex and across from Bray and Lola who were sitting in separate chairs.

"It'll work." A simple statement in Bray's calming voice was enough to calm a wild banshee.

Lola broke the silence. "So everyone knows what to do tomorrow?"

"The militia is ready and informed of their positions." Ebony said.

"Well then, I guess I will go to bed. Good Night." Lola got up and went to her room. Once she was out of sight and they heard her door close behind her Lex spoke up. "So you two are hitting it off well I see."

"We're friends Lex." Bray told Lex for the hundredth time.

"You've go to admit, she likes you and I can tell you like her." Ebony chimed in.

"I'm- I'm just not ready, ok? Now I am going to bed. Good Night." Bray stomped out of the room and slammed his bedroom door behind him. Ebony and Lex looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, said their goodnights and went to bed.
