A New Home

Aisling sighed, biting the inside of her lip as she followed the brown-haired woman, whose name she found to be Kristen, through the small town. Her mind was only on one thing; Shaun. It was hard to think of anything else, especially after-

"Do you think you can fix this?" Kristen had stopped in front of her, and Aisling dug her heels into the ground to quickly stop before she smacked right into her. That's what she got for not paying attention.

Kristen turned around and pointed to a small jeep that was parked behind a building, the hood propped up with a piece of plywood.

"Uh… Probably." She furrowed her brows as she examined the car. "Do you know what's wrong with it?" She looked towards Kristen, who sighed and shrugged her shoulders in response.

"Thinkin' it's something with the engine." She rubbed the back of her neck. "Just broke down one day and wouldn't work after that. We don't have many vehicles, so we really need this thing in service."

Aisling nodded in understanding, and walked up to the car as she pushed the hood up all the way to take a look at what was beneath. "Just give me some time and the tools to do it." She looked over at Kristen. "I'll get it done."

---------------

Ughhhh.

Aisling stared up at the ceiling, hands pressed to her temples. This sucked.

Of course, the bed beneath her, heating, food, and safety was amazing, and she wouldn't trade it for the world, but…

It was so quiet.

An interesting thing happens after you've been in the presence of someone else every day for a long time. When that person is gone, well… It gets awfully boring and awfully quiet.

Aisling rolled onto her side, looking around the old motel room she was in. It was a temporary stay, of course. A sort of second screening once one actually got into the safezone. Any newcomers were given a room in an old motel, and were expected to stay there until proper housing could be set up if they planned to stay within the walls for a long time. She had fixed the old jeep, and as such Kristen had brought her there and told her that she'd let Shaun know where she was.

God, she really hoped she would. She wasn't sure if she could handle the silence much longer.

She looked out the window. She could see the stars already, as it got awfully dark out during the Canadian winter. It had been quite a while, though she expected that it'd take a long time for Shaun to get fully patched up as well. Her mind drifted off again, and she silently raised a hand to her lips as she looked back up towards the ceiling.

She had to talk to him.

---------------

There wasn't particularly a moment when Shaun began to wake. It was more like all of a sudden, he realized that he was aware. That was disconcerting, but he tried to sit anyway.

That was a mistake.

Immediately, pinpricks of pain began to make their way up his stomach.
