Stephanie merely nodded when Ilya spoke to her. She didn't really know what to say in response to his words. She was at as much of a loss as anyone. That she knew her classmates were actively killing people made her feel sad. She had expected suicides, but actual killings had been out of the realm o...

((Stephanie Chan continued from Birds, Bats, and General Flying Things )) Morning had come quicker than Stephanie expected. Sleep had been sparse for the trio, but for whatever reason she still felt alert. It probably had something to do with the occasional gunshots in the distance, or the lack of c...

Stephanie loved Saturdays. She walked happily along the sidewalk, bottle of water in hand since she planned on being out for most of the day and any time she wasn't drinking pop was better for her. The hot sun beat on down on her, but not even the heat of the day was going to get her mood down. As h...

Stephanie stood completely still, burning the memory of her face deep into her mind. She had no weapon on her right now, having foolishly left the rifle behind the counter in the lobby. Out of sight at the very least. Her hand formed a tight grip on the pen, the one that Lana had found not moments b...

The silence was shattered in an instant. It took Stephanie a few seconds to even register anything, the sudden wetness on her neck and shoulder, her collapsed friend on the ground, the red-stained wall next to her. When her mind caught up with everything else, she looked down at Lana, a sense of hor...

"There's a kitchen and a bedroom, probably a bathroom attached in there. Looks like this place was meant for one person." Stephanie wrote down, tapping the pen against the page as she thought. She couldn't stop herself from smiling. After everything that had happened in the last few days,...

The loud creak of the door caught Stephanie's attention. She turned around to see Lana smiling, one of the doors flung open. Stephanie sigh, happy that she was able to find something in here. Even if they didn't end up staying here, the fact that the doors could be opened was a good sign. Walking to...

"The doors I tried were locked, but maybe we'll find one that isn't. Couldn't hurt trying." Stephanie wrote on the paper before looking around. There was a couple hallways on either side, with a number of doors. Surely at least one of them would be unlocked? If they could get into one of ...

Stephanie read the options, mulling them over in her own mind. None of the options seemed particularly appealing, since any of them could lead into unfavourable positions. They had a pad of paper and a pen, so there didn't seem to be much reason to keep looking, though how long the pen would last wa...

Stephanie Chan continued from The Sound a Sloth Makes )) In some ways, it was nice to be back inside. Ever since leaving the hotel, the two had spent most of it outside. Stephanie was never one for the outdoors. As soon as the announcements came on, informing them of the new danger zones, they were ...

Still looking at the sky, Stephanie heard Lana mention rain. Part of her wanted to keep talking, to discuss everything that they had gone through up to that point, but she wasn't sure if she was ready. Truthfully, she didn't think she'd ever be ready. The dark clouds overhead almost seemed like an e...

Part of her hoped that Lana wouldn't ask about her well being, but then again another part anticipated it. Stephanie had spent the last few hours thinking about how she felt. She was no doubt a marked target now. The announcements made certain of that. No one would believe her that it was in self de...

((Stephanie Chan continued from Friends 'til the end )) It had been a hell of a day. When she was running she did her best not to think. It was easy to not think while she was running, since it took all her energy to just keep going, her laboured breaths escaping her body as she tried to keep up wit...

Reiko spent quite a few minutes before she was able to determine no one was in the house. At least, not in a place where she could see them. The thought occurred to her that whoever was in there may be hiding on the second floor, but she wasn't exactly willing to enter any of the houses. A single lo...

Reiko moved as quickly as she could away from Kimberly, trying her best to not make any noise. She knew what she needed to do, and she knew Sarah probably wasn't going to like it. Unfortunately, if she had any hope of going home, she was going to have to ignore any semblance of morality. Hopefully, ...
