Ooc;
For some reason, I always want to reply to this post when it's like midnight, but this is the first time I actually got on the computer. |D Thanks for bumping! You're awesome. <3
I only read the Bridget one though because I am very tired. So if things changed after the Bridget post, like Travis not even being able to respond or something, I'll edit this Travis post tomorrow but this is what I have so far. I'll do Paradise next time I come on as well! :D
Travis
This was crazy. The people were still chaotic and only causing more anxiety then needed. "Just... Everyone calm- just stop!" I kept trying to yell out but no one heard nor cared. They were too busy worrying about their loved ones and friends. This was how some handled the mourning of those lost their lives last night. If it was none of the above, it was just fear for their own life that drove them mad. So I gave up trying.
Standing in the corner of the cell still, I tried to keep myself as much away from the others as possible. The place was big enough to say that I was in a secluded area. And, even through the noise, I felt surprisingly alone - as did everyone else here I guess. The image of my sister again and again being killed kept repeating in my mind. And every time the thought came to my mind, the more my heart broke.
A tear snaked down my cheek but I wiped it off gingerly as though it was sweat; the last thing I needed was people thinking I was ready to cry like they all were. Someone had to be strong here. When one was strong, the rest found more courage. However, no one would notice me over here anyways so what did it matter?
"Hello?"
I blinked, taken from my thoughts of my beloved sister, to see a girl coming closer hesitantly. I realized then it was because I was in the part of the cell that held more light, deeper in the place was darkness. Her eyes had to adjust. I held out a hand to wrap around her wrist to show that I was near.
"Hi."
I said dumbly, not sure what to say from there. I had no idea why she was even coming over to me, I didn't even know her, but I guessed it was because of the light. Anyone would want to be surrounded by light in a time of fear, not darkness. Luckily, though, the others were too busy with their fear to realize that.
I didn't say anything after letting go of her wrist. There was nothing too say. What was I supposed to ask - if she lost anyone last night? My throat constricted at the thought but I pushed the thoughts of my sister away. But I couldn't just keep things silent. Who knows, maybe the girl came over for some type of companionship and comfort. Maybe she lost someone last night and now she's all alone - like me. Maybe she needed a friend. Besides, seeing as we were practically facing our death, I already felt a odd companionship with everyone here. We all understood the pain everyone felt.
And out of all the people here, she'd obviously want someone not pounding on the walls in fear but being calm. If that was the case, the girl had no idea how much I was internalizing.
"They won't do any good panicking."
I mumbled, going back to my corner and leaning my back against it, crossing my arms. They weren't acting as frantic now, though some were. It was more crying now. So much fear in one area was practically suffocating; it took everything in me not to crawl into a ball and cry with the rest of them. My dear sister...

[[It's alright! I am so glad that we are reviving this. Sorry that for the lame post, and it might take me a while to get the hang of Bridget's character again, so if she seems a little out of character, I apologize.]]
Bridget
The time it took the largely build man to answer, I was already second guessing my actions. What were my hope in conversing with this man? Surely there is nothing I could say that would be as calm as his voice was, and nothing that could be as desperate and sorrowful. I brought my hand that wasn't outstretched, up to the two wooden necklace's that dangled from their strings. I remembered James and his wish to give me a better life, and then I recalled my situation. Against my will, I was going against his.
A thick hand locked onto my wrist. I jumped slightly, being pulled away from disappointment and into a frightening truth. James, I wasn't over exaggerating, I wasn't! I thought sorrowfully as I wondered why this man was touching me, afraid that he was going to hurt me. My fists clenched and I stood frozen in fear. If I was elsewhere, if the situation that I was put in was happening to someone else and I was merely watching this all happen, I might have found it ironic that I sat frozen while people were being murdered around me, and now I am standing frozen as I am going to be murdered.
Except, I wasn't murdered. I wasn't injured in the slightest. The calm and soft voice that I heard before sent a wave of warmth over me as my joints loosened and the hand retracted. Suddenly, I realized that the warm hand that was securely around my wrist gave me comfort and I wanted it back. I felt that it could stable me if I were ever to lose myself to fear like these people were doing. I dropped my out stretched hand to my side and removed the other hand that was death gripping the necklace's. I placed my hand on the spot where his hand was. It wasn't the same. I didn't feel the stability and comfort, if anything I felt stupid.
When the man piped up and said something, I realized that I had been silent even though I was the one to approach him. It was true though, what he said. They wouldn't do any good panicking. I tried to give him a small smile as he retreated back to the corner, but it was hard with all of the sorrow of the night, "It's a pity, really." My voice was soft and calm, I tried my best to mimic his. "Surely they won't gain anything by being restless, if anything self loathing. The inevitable scenario is them turning on each other, on us. It's inevitable. But we are the better of them. We are better off than them." The words that came out of my mouth were not my own, they were my father's and my brother's. A tear rolled down my cheek in the verbal remembrance of them, and as I spoke, I found myself looking at the captives, watching them sob, wondering when human nature will kick in.

The men are done working in my house and I'm done name searching so yay back to rping. :D
Okay I finally read his passage about shooting the door. Can I do that now? I'll do it anyways because I know I won't feel motivated to post if I ask now aha. If anything is wrong in this paragraph let me know - I can rewrite it tomorrow. c:
Bic;
For someone who came to me first, she was quite quiet. I decided then that she truly was just coming to me for no particular reason than for just comfort - for someone to be by her side. I didn't blame her, having someone around during this chaos was comforting.
I couldn't take the frown off my face. It was my sister who could make me smile, even in the darkest times. It was she who would tell me everything was going to be alright. Instead, she was gone for her naive ways.
Finally, though, she did speak. I looked up at her with dead eyes. I nodded my head; feeling that her words needed no response. She was right, of course. And as I looked back at her, I automatically felt her as a companion. There was a bond that was made when we realized we both had too much common sense to act like lunatics in here. And that brought me much needed comfort.
I opened my mouth to think of something to say, but, before I could, three shots rang out, quieting everyone in the dungeon. The second the first shot rang, my instinct kicked in and I grabbed my new friends hand and pulled her closer to me to protect. I glared out the bars to the door as I kept a firm hand on her arm.
"You stay close to me if they come in, got it?"
I said, keeping my eyes on the doors ( or door, not sure. :D ). I than added, looking back at her, much closer to her now,
"Change that. Stay with me no matter what."
So many people lost their lives. I wasn't letting her lose hers as well.

[[Gah! I totally forgot about this! I am sorry! I looked at it the day you posted this and was all like 'alright I am going to get to this tomorrow' and then I ended up forgetting all about this DX]]
Bridget
It felt good to talk to someone. It felt good to know that I -no- we were the sane ones. It felt good to have someone to stand by me and understand, even when the world was crashing down around us. I felt like I could trust this man, though I don't know why that feeling would occur at such a strange time. Maybe it was the feeling of his eyes watching me, while mine were on the captives. Maybe at a different time, a different place, those eyes would make me feel uncomfortable and would burn right through my skin, but that wasn't the case now. Those eyes made me feel warm and protected, the same way my brother's did.
Right when I was starting to calm down and was ready to start to make sense of this situation and take it apart piece by piece, in hope of understanding something, three shots rang loud, echoing through the tiny metal room. My heart froze along with my body. Hadn't they done enough? The terror they put us through already was plenty how much more were they going to make us endure? However, this time the cards on the table were different. This time I wasn't alone and I didn't have only myself to look out for.
I felt stability when a hand reached out and pulled me close; it was the same hand from before, the same person from before, but this time it didn't let go. His voice reached out to my ears and my frozen heart started to beat once more. He was willing to protect me and I realized that I was willing to protect him too. With few exchanges of words, it felt like there was already this silent agreement between us, and I couldn't help but look up at him with amazement in my eyes as my fear melted away. The look aura he gave off was frightening, but also gentle and when he looked at me in the eyes I knew he was true to his words. However, now that he was closer I could see him better; his features were handsome and his face full of determination. I nodded, too shocked to say anything. I was taken aback by his actions and the stillness of the room.
Zachary
The silence held and the air in front of the captives' door grew tense. My eyes were wild and my temper was already set ablaze. Surly Conner knew the consequences of putting me in a bad mood. I spun on him and pounced down on him like a cat. I grabbed his collar once more and held it up so his head was off the hard metal floor. The demonic smile played onto the corners of my mouth, "You couldn't have woken me up after all else failed?" My voice was full of venom. "I should kill you right now!" I drew my new gun out and held it to Conner's head.
Precipitation started to form on Conner's forehead as he realized it wasn't the captain that he could be worried about, "Now, now, Zach," he said in a light tone that made me want to rip his throat out. He must have seen my ex
pression change because he quickly continued, "I-" I dropped my gun to the floor, I was tired of listening to him speak. I raised my fist instead, and right when I was about to bash his skull in, the silence from behind the door broke.
The voices of the captives were louder than last time and more irritating. I released Conner and reached for my gun. I jumped up off of Conner and pelted two more bullets into the door. The silence didn't last long this time, they knew that we weren't going to come in and kill them, for we would have done so already. "That's it," I mumbled, but before I could get the door unlocked, Conner reached out and held be back, he was no longer terrified of me.
"Wait, we have to try the third option." Conner reached in his jacket pocket and pulled out a small square match box. I scoffed at the sight and stood back reluctantly as I watched Conner light the matches and feed them sneakily under the door. Sooner than I expected, I heard coughing and a thin la
yer of smoke come out from beneath the door.

Oh darn it! I missed you. :c
But you're fine with the posting, seriously. We both know how I take forever so it really doesn't bother me if someone takes a couple days to post. That's a usual for me. xD

Paradise
My arms tightened around my knees as I rocked myself back and forth and tried my best to stay in my own bubble, my own day dream. My heart was pounding fast and just the idea of breathing was difficult. Lifting my head, I kept my eyes closed, taking deep breaths to keep myself from screaming like the rest of them.
Just moments later, though, tears streamed down my cheeks, and soon after, I allowed myself to sob as loudly as I pleased. Any noise coming from my throat was blocked from the cries of others. It was my turn to let out everything I could. The pain from having to leave and losing my family. The mourning of the lives lost. The fear of not knowing my fate.
However, soon a loud shot rang out in the room, and I jumped in surprised, huging my knees and keeping my chin pressed against my knees with wide eyes scanning the dark area I could see, keeping just as quiet as every one else. Soon, the silence fell away with whispers, and the whispers turned into an uproar again.
Until yet another two shots rang in the room, the silence came and fell yet once again. The back and forth cycle wasn't doing good for my panicking heart.
"Please stop... Please help me..."
I moaned, not sure who I meant it for. Anybody. Anybody willing to listen.
Coughs started surrounding the large cell, and soon I added to the coughing. It didn't take long to realize what they were doing.
So, this is it? This is how we die.
Maybe it was some type of gas that kills us painlessly. Oh how I prayed it was painless.
Ooc;;
This gives you nothing I'm so sorry omg.

[[I am not going to post Zachary until later~ /laziness]]
Bridget
There was hope in the silence. I don't know why, but I could feel hope fill me as the silence grew longer. Maybe, just maybe, everything was going to be okay, the soldiers wouldn't harm anyone anymore and everyone would mourn quietly for their lost love ones. All of the captives would grow past blind hatred and heart-retching sorrow and come together so we could all figure a way out of being casualties in this war.
It was all wistful thinking that I had got caught up in when the man had offered me safety. Yes, safety, the sacred thing that seemed possible yesterday but untouchable today. Even though war was ragging outside my home, I felt safe next to James and even though the majority of my family died, James held on and kept me believing in hope, and kept me out of harms way.
But it was just wistful thinking. The captives grew restless and fear had embedded itself deeper into the hearts of everyone. Screams and shouts escaped from raw throats as they pleaded and spoke words of hatred. How would this help? How would any of this help? Didn't they see that they were going to make it worse? Or maybe that is what they wanted. Did they want to die so they could be reunited with their loved ones where ever they went after death?
Two more shots rang loud and I could tell the men outside the door were growing restless, too. If the captives weren't careful, their wish would be fulfilled; haven't they heard of the saying 'be careful of what you wish for'? Although fear rang in my heart, the strong beating of devotion drowned out the pitiful fear. I couldn't be selfish and only watch out for myself anymore, and I was ready for what ever would come next. However, my eyes didn't keep steady at the door, they were intently glued to his back, his broad and muscular back.
The silence didn't hold long this time, and the cries were louder than ever. I was sure they were going to bust through the door and slaughter everyone like they were useless pigs. One of my hands flew and secured itself around the wooden necklaces'. It wasn't noticeable at first; the smoke that seeped through the cracks in the door, it just seemed like the soldiers had quieted and were pondering on their next course of action. It wasn't until the the screams got quieter that I noticed something off. The air seemed to become thicker and my chest became heavy. I didn't understand what was going on. My body grew weaker and I collapsed. My eyes were still glued to the man who said he'd protect me, up until my vision grew black and my conscious slipped out of my head.
