I woke up with the sun glaring into my eyes. “Lady Bug, are you hungry? We are going to have breakfast soon, and I would like for you to meet the gang.” Richard the red fire horse thing is trying to wake me up. Too bad the sun has already done the job for him. “Look I can help you down the stairs, but you are going to have to get out of bed.” With that I decided to go with him to breakfast. Which brings up the question of what are we going to eat? Should I ask him this or ac like I know what I am doing?

~Why not just ask!~ There is a voice in my head. I must ask that you please promptly get out. My head is my own and I don't want any clutter added to what is already there. ~I am sorry, you asked a question and I was compelled to answer. I am heading your way now and will leave you alone until you ask a question again.~ “Good! No more voices in my head.” Richard looks at me.

“You have voices in your head? Are you some crazy person or something?” oh dear I said that out loud. Time to use diversion tactics. I roll my eyes and try to walk away from him. The key word of the day seems to be try. As soon as I got my arm off of his side, I fell right on my face. “Are you alright?” Nodding I use his side to stabilize myself again. ~Hey I have a question. I found a few others like me, do you mind if I bring them?~ Yes, bring them! Just stop talking to me! “Alright! Here we are. Over there is Mark, he was in the Navy. Next to him is Alessandra, she did food tours and is our chef. You already know Rose, she is the youngest of us. Lastly we have Kris, he was hiding in this fire station when we found him. He doesn't talk much”

“Hello, my name is Sky, but I think Lady Bug is better with the current situation. I was a nurse before all of this happened, and I guess it is nice to talk to somebody.” Rose looks at me.

“Do you know what happened? Your a nurse, and nurses know things about stuff.” I smile at her, like heck if I know what happened.

“Rose I have no clue as to what happened. I think it is best that we stay together and help each other. Any body else have any questions?” Mark was staring into his bowl of oatmeal, Alessandra started eating, and Kris got up.

“We all freaks, you are the worst. I think you need to leave. Freaks like you don't deserve to live. Your going to kill all of us and destroy everything. You are not like us. We are like horses, what are you, a bug? Leave now, there is plenty of water and food out there.” Mark followed him and turned back for a moment.

“You have sat around and waisted time already. I agree with Kris, your a freak.” They both left the room. Alessandra buried her head in the oats and pulled Rose closer to her. Richard still held onto me.

“I guess we will have to vote on if you stay or not. Have some breakfast I will go and bring them back and we will settle this, okay?” I sat at an empty chair and waited for Richard to come back.

“Fine! I will sit at the table with the freak, but you know my vote!” with that outburst all three of them came back into the room and sat down. “Hey freak, if we are voting on if you are staying, I just want you to know.....” Richard kicked him.

“Okay guys, so let's vote. All in favor of her staying say Aye.”

“Aye” Rose

“Aye” Richard

“No” Kris

“Negative” Mark

“No” Alessandra

Kris got up, “Get the hell out”
