with g o l d e n string our universe was clothed in light. pulling at the seams, our once barren world now brims with life, that we may fall in love every time we o p e n up our eyes. i guess space and time, takes violent things, angry things, and makes them kind.

“What do you have against Spiderman?” He asked and raised an eyebrow. “I’ll let you know that I look great, even better than those other people who decided to copy my costume.” He said and nodded. “I love your slutty girl outfit, good for you Isabelle.” 

“ I have nothing against Spiderman. ” Isabelle chuckled. “ It’s just one of the most popular Halloween costumes for little boys, but sure you look great. ” She rolled her eyes at his comment about here outfit. “ My God, Mason. You uncultured swine. ” She glanced down at her outfit. “ It’s Cher, from Clueless? ”

“Okay, so, I’ve seen at least four Pennywises in this party…Oh, there goes the fifth.” He said as he looked at someone else dressed up as Pennywise. “I’ve gotta say, people really are being original with their costumes this year, it’s amazing the variety of costumes around here.” He said and rolled his eyes, shaking his head.

“ Says the guy wearing a Spiderman outfit. ” Isabelle chuckled as she glanced around. There definitely were some very popular costumes, which was mainly why she decided to go with a golden oldie. “ I’m pretty sure there’s about ten versions of Wonder Woman walking around as well. ”

fearlessaderyn:

Her situation had nothing to do with Isabelle’s when Jesse died. First of all, because they were on good terms when it’s happened, but Everett and Aderyn weren’t. She didn’t hurt him, she didn’t hate him. And more than anything, they were actually a thing. Everett and Aderyn would never have been something serious and that was probably what hurt the most. Especially when she thought she was over it. “Whatever your pain is, it has nothing to do with mine. Don’t pretend to be my friend here, because you don’t know me. Never will. I don’t care about how you feel. I don’t care about you!”

Isabelle was pretty sure no one actually knew her pain. No one knew how the Hitlist had truly hurt her, how Jesse had, nor how Jesse’s death had truly affected her. And definitely not Aderyn. The girl never even bothered to give her a second look before, so why would she do so now? “ I know my pain isn’t like yours, I know this is different, but you’re clearly hurting. No one deserves that. ” Isabelle shrugged. “ I’m not pretending to be your friend. You want to know why I cut in? Because I was trying to get you away from that poor girl. Everyone has pain. Everyone griefs in their own way. Maybe she didn’t know the professor as well as you did, but she deserves to cry whenever she wants. And you deserve to grief the way you want, as long as you don’t hurt others in the process, because frankly, that is not okay. But you’re clearly hurting, and if taking you away to talk helps, then I’m here. ”

fearlessaderyn:

Aderyn let out a humourless laugh escape her lips and wiped under her eyes with her fingers before tears even had time to fall down her cheeks. She shook her head and as her main focus was on Isabelle, the other student quickly walked away. “Don’t you get it? I don’t want to go anywhere with you! Get the fuck out of my way!”

Isabelle nodded quietly. “ I know. ” She remembered what it was like when Jesse had been found. Or at least, when a body had been found and Jesse had gone missing. “ I just -- I also know what it feels like to feel the way you do. Scared, angry, upset. It’s not fair to take it out on others, as much as it makes things easier. ” She wasn’t really sure whether it would help. Actually, she was pretty sure it would only make it worse. But someone had to say it and clearly none of the others were going to do it.

[isabellerenard]

fearlessaderyn:

Aderyn didn’t even look at Isabelle when she stepped closer and talked to her. She was too focused on the other student who was standing in front of her. She wanted to shout at her, slapped her in the face. But eventually, she looked into Isabelle’s eyes, her eyes watering despite how angry she was. “You have no idea what you are talking about. So go fuck yourself, Isabelle!”

Isabelle wasn’t surprised by the other’s outburst and honestly, by now she was starting to get used to all the yelling and comments that would’ve hurt her weeks ago. “ Actually, I think I do know. ” She wasn’t blind. Anyone could see that the anger Aderyn showed was caused by a lot of pain. Probably because of the professor that died, who now was the main subject. “ Please, walk with me? ”

Parker was less than thrilled about being back in school, but going to class and studying gave him the distraction he needed from what he went through several weeks ago. Plus the wedding planning gave him plenty of distraction, which was what he was doing in the library, instead of writing a marketing plan for his business class. He was fidgeting with the ring his fiance had given him as he looked through the invited list for probably the umpteenth time this week, unaware of another approaching his table.

Isabelle was wondering through the library. Her main goal was to find the book she needed for her theory class, but there was also a part of her that wanted to be surrounded by people. For some reason it felt like the minute she’d be completely alone, she’d break down and this time she felt like she wouldn’t be able to put herself back together. When she spotted Parker, she doubted for a second. After all, he made his opinion on her pretty clear, and she hadn’t really been great towards him either. But he was marrying Miles, and she had to be happy about that. “ Hi. I just wanted to say congratulations. ” Isabelle said, hoping he’d take it.

“I know, I know,” Lexa said as she sat down next to the other person, silencing them before they even had a chance to speak. “I’ve been a little absent these days, a little out of it maybe.” Understatement of the century. In fact, Lexa had what was considered a proper mental breakdown. Of course, the way she carried herself was doing quite a good job of hiding it. “But I’m so over that and decided not to do it anymore, so I’m all better now. And not leaving my room for a week made me lose four pounds which is great. So obviously, now I gotta find a party to go to flaunt my body and celebrate my re-entry into the social sphere. Wanna join?”

Isabelle looked up when she noticed Lexa coming up to her and sitting besides her. Before she could even react, the girl decided to share her whole story. Honestly, she wasn’t sure how to react. The last time the two of them really spoke, Lexa made her feelings towards her very clear. However, if she wanted to try being friends again, Isabelle was definitely up for that. Though, she had to admit that she was pretty worried about her friend -- or whatever Lexa wanted them to be. “ I mean -- I’ll join... But are you sure you’re okay? You know you can always call me if you need anything, right? ”

“Why are you even crying? Because a teacher died? Did you even know him? You’re pathetic, can’t you see this?” Aderyn was furious even if her voice remained almost calm when she talked to this junior student she didn’t even know. She was visibly pissed and people were starting to gather around them – she didn’t care. The other was petrified, tears rolling down her cheeks, only making things worse. “Will you answer me?!”

Isabelle had noticed the whole scene growing and growing. Since she didn’t really know Aderyn that well, she decided to just stay back and hope it wouldn’t go too far, but the poor girl on the other hand looked so miserable, she had to do something. So when Isabelle stepped forward, she decided to keep her distance a little bit. “ Everyone can grief someone in their own way. ” Isabelle offered. “ Do you want to -- maybe go for a walk or something? ” Isabelle asked, hoping the girl would give in and stay away from the other girl.

mason-theflynn:

Mason started shooting walkers, since he couldn’t run anymore. But he knew that he didn’t have enough bullets for all of them. He looked at Isabelle and shook his head. “There’s no way out. I’m sorry.” He said and sighed. He knew he was going to die there, and there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn’t run, he couldn’t save Isabelle, he couldn’t save himself. He closed his eyes and waited for it to be over. 

Isabelle looked at Mason for a short second, knowing that this was it. There was nothing left to do. She had her knife, but it wasn’t enough. The walkers were piling up now. “ It’s okay. ” Isabelle said softly as she took his hand, mainly to make sure he felt like he wasn’t alone, but also because she really didn’t want to feel alone right now. She too closed her eyes when she felt their hands grabbing everything they could. It wouldn’t take too long.

[isabellerenard]

mason-theflynn:

Mason looked at the guys that fell down and then looked at Isabelle. He looked at the walkers again, before he grabbed Isabelle’s arm and started running the opposite direction, hoping that they could escape that place. He looked around but all he could see walkers. He couldn’t do run anymore. 

The second Mason grabbed her arm, she was able to move again. Though the entire place was overrun. She didn’t want to, but she had to make sure they got out of this. Or at least that he got out of there. So for the first time since the whole thing started, she stabbed one of the walkers. And another, and another. There was this part of her that she’d been keeping in for the longest time. “ Can you see a way out? ” Isabelle yelled out at Mason as she kicked another walker away from her.

[isabellerenard]

mason-theflynn:

Mason heard the gun shot and frowned, quickly taking his gun out and looking at Isabelle. “It’s probably nothing.” He said as he looked at the other people. He could only imagine that Isabelle knew them, but right now there wasn’t much he could do rather than wait for the people to explain what was going on.

Isabelle glanced at Mason for a short second before glancing back at the group she came on the run with. One of them shouted something as the other began to ran in different directions and not too long after, two of them fell down, walkers on their feet, enjoying their new feast. Isabelle froze, watching the two guys yell out in fear and pain. “ We have to go. ” Isabelle said softly, but her feet wouldn’t move. 

[isabellerenard]

mason-theflynn:

“Yeah, I know that. I don’t know how I survived either, I mean, the world is a mess now.” He said with a sigh, looking at Isabelle as she told her the people that had survived. “That’s good, that’s good.” He said with a small nod. “Let’s just hope that everyone can make it.” 

“ It really is. ” Isabelle muttered as she glanced down. She wanted things to go back to normal. She wanted warm cookies, a peaceful night sleep, a warm bath. “ Yeah, I hope so too. ” She could barely finish her sentence before she heard a shot outside, she quickly turned to see what was happening, but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary, except the fact that a couple of others were looking around. “ Everything okay? ” Isabelle called out, fingers clutched around the knife, just in case.

[isabellerenard]

mason-theflynn:

“What do you mean you don’t believe I’m alive? I’m a zombie apocalypse master, I’m not scared of them. I mean, I was at the beginning, but not anymore.” He said with a sigh. “Did everyone make it? I mean, from the people we know. I know a lot of people died.” He said and raised an eyebrow. 

“ No -- not that, just -- I figured that everyone who’d gone out there would’ve been dead by now. You know, those things don’t exactly show mercy or anything. ” Isabelle shrugged. She definitely wouldn’t be able to make it out alive. “ As far as I know? I mean, Eli, Lexa, Miles, they’re all still there. I don’t know, give me a name and I’ll tell you. ”

“I know. I heard the IT students have been trying to figure something out but even land lines are out.” Everything was like one of the movies he had seen before but it had aliens instead of zombies. All of the communication was down and even cars didn’t work. At least cars worked for them and their electronics worked, just without service which they needed. “That’s true, everything is electric stoves and ovens now. Maybe in one of the storage rooms there’s something we could find?”

“ I doubt we’ll get anything to work. This is at least a nation wide thing. If it wasn’t we’d either be quarantined or rescued by the army or something. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a world wide thing either. ” Isabelle shrugged. “ At least we still have each other and a safe place to live, right? ” A small smile covered her lips. Honestly, if she had to be stuck in one place for the rest of her life, she was glad she was in a place where she had her friends with her. Where she had Eli. “ Or perhaps there’s something in town we could use? There’s that little bakery, I bet they still use the old stuff. ”

[isabellerenard]

mason-theflynn:

Mason looked at Isabelle and sighed. “Well, at least you survived, that’s good. I mean, we both did. So, Eastwood became like a Sanctuary? That’s pretty cool, I just never came back there because I thought everyone had died.” He said and raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want me to go with you? I could have gone crazy during this whole thing, I might start shooting at everyone.” He said and shrugged. “But fine, let’s go.” 

Isabelle nodded at his question. “ It is. I mean, it’s been a good, safe place so far, so I think we can keep it up. ” Isabelle smiled. “ And yes, I want you to come. If we have to worry about every single person after being away on a run, or something, we won’t be able to trust anyone. We’ll just keep an eye on you. ” She chuckled. She hadn’t even considered the fact that it was an option for someone to come back like that. A small laugh escaped her lips as she scanned him again. “ I just can’t believe you’re still alive. ”

“Cookies do sound good.” Anything freshly edible that wasn’t completely junk sounded good. Home-cooked meals, taking a walk outside past the gates after classes, anything. “Everything. My family, being able to talk to them and making sure they’re okay. Now I’ll stop before I get all sappy.” He said chuckling, walking over to the couch and sitting down before he started pacing again. “Maybe if we find a gas oven and ingredients to make cookies we can make that happen.”

Isabelle chuckled as she watched him walk over to the couch. She, in her turn leaned against the table. “ Yeah, I miss my family too. Just want to know whether they’re okay, and I’d be good, but even that seems to be too much nowadays. ” She sighed. When Eli offered a plan to bake cookies on a gas over, she chuckled. “ Good luck finding one around here. They just renovated every single dorm after that storm last year. ”
