Noelle Stryder;Roxas lazily looked over at Rey and snorted angerly. It seemed he didn't like that Rey was intruding in his home. Such a stupid dog... then again it was a hunting dog-- territory was prioity. Roxas pulled himself up and walked strongly into the kitchen, where the scent of meatballs drifted into their air. Roxas let out a bark, letting Noelle know he entered the room.
Noelle looked over her shoulder, a smudge of meat sauce on her cheek-- it actually made her look adorable. However she was giving a playful glare at the dog, "yeah I know you're hungry. I am too. But we've got a guest and you'll just have to wait. And none of that barking, Cody's still asleep." Roxas winned in anger. Noelle pursed her lips, "Enough." she commanded in a strong tone and Roxas sat on the marble floor obediently.
Noelle then sighed and started fixing up plates, "Rey!" she called as she fixed someone's plate, "Can you wake Cody up!? Dinner's ready!" [/blockquote][/size] Frozen into Darkness~

Rey got up and and shook his head. He walked over to Cody and sat on his hunches so that Cody and Rey were head level. Rey studied Cody for a minute, then finally poked Cody on the side of the head. "Hey Cody...Cody, Noelle finished dinner. Let's go eat man!" Rey spoke in a hushed tone as if it was secret. He waited for Cody to open his eyes.

Noelle Stryder;Almost instantly, Cody's eyes shot open on the first sound of Dinner. A huge smile crossed his face as she stared at Rey, slightly feeling that gay moment comming on but you know you're not gay so you're not even gonna go there.
"Wooo!" Cody shouted and hopped off the couch, pushing his way past Rey and running into the kitchen.
Roxas looked up at Cody as he ran in, looking irritated with Cody's noise. Noelle, at the moment, was holding a bowl of meatballs-- looking at Cody like a common Housewife would her noisy son.
Cody didn't seem to mind, he just too a seat instantly, possibly his usual seat, and was bouncing for joy, "I want 5 meatballs!!" he yelled. Noelle made a face, starting to scoop two meatballs on his plate, "Did you considder how may meatballs Rey might want?" she asked in a calm tone-- patience. "No." Cody said, looking as if that was completelly right of him. Noelle sighed and averted her vivid blue eyes to Rey, "How many, Rey?" she asked, ignoring the fact that Cody was reaching past her to get into the meatball bowl to get more. Honestly, He knew better. Noelle was keeping him under control and at a fair distance with her good leg, pushing him back while he continued to reach. [/blockquote][/size] Frozen into Darkness~

Rey feel over as Cody pushed past him. He grinned chuckled to himself and got up. "Dude-man must be hungry or something...Mention dinner and you could wake him up from a coma..." Rey said to himself. He walked in on the family scene and smiled. "Two is plenty. Let Cody have as many as he wants." Rey looked at the table and sat down in an open chair. And smiled at Noelle, who still had a bit of sauce on her cheek while holding Cody back with her foot.

Noelle Stryder;Noelle looked at Rey with a calming smile on her face, "If you say so." she said and glared at Cody and his continued rudeness. Honestly, this kid never knew when to stop did he? The thought made Noelle giggle to herself and she stood beside Rey and focused on getting two meatballs on the spoon instead of one at a time.
Cody was looking at Rey, trying to grab his attention. He made a gesture with his hand-- making it look like he was rubbing his cheek with the back of his hand. In doing so, he averted his eyes to Noelle then back to Rey.
A Message?
Cody did the guester again and made his eyes look more irritated-- obviously annoied that Rey didn't understand the message. Cody wanted him to wipe the sauce off of Noelle's cheek for her. Was he doing this because he was OCD about it, or was he trying to set Rey and Noelle up? [/blockquote][/size] Frozen into Darkness~

Rey stared at Cody for a minute puzzled at his gesture. Then he examined his own hand and grinned. He got what Cody was trying to tell him. Rey thought for a minute, then looked to Noelle's face. He thought the extra sauce made her seem cute, but Cody wanted Rey to do something about it. Rey was unsure about it, but he smiled at Noelle and spoke casual. "Noelle...I hope you don't mind, but..." Rey got up faced Noelle and cerested her cheek, useing his thumb to wipe away the sauce. His hand was against her cheek for a long moment...Too long...Rey took back his hand and licked the sauce from his thumb. Then it occured to Rey, he had been away from other humans for so long, was his over confidence because he didn't know proper manners? What if Noelle gets upset that Rey touched her like that? Rey quickly bit his thumb in sheer annoyance of his possible mistake. He stared back into Noelle's eyes almost as if to say 'Sorry for being an idiot. Humans are still new to me.' He grinned with slight nevousness and a dash of embrassment toward his action. Dammit Cody...You coulda gave me a better idea then to touch her directly! Rey thought to himself keeping the same stupid smile waiting for response.

Noelle Stryder;Slightly dazed by her train of thought, Rey pulled her back to reality with something she didn't quite understand. Though he did get up and look into her eyes. Noelle was pretty sure her's showed confusion. Why wouldn't they? She wasn't paying attention much earlier. She gave a small smile, then froze when Rey's hand touched her cheek. Her eyes shifted quickly to Rey's eyes-- more confusion filling her.
Then she felt his thumb strock softly, Noelle bit the inside of her lip, realizing now what was on her cheek. She must of gotten sauce on her. She smiled for real now, thinking it was kind of funny. But when she noticed Rey's face-- how unsure he was... or dazed. Noelle's eyes went back to confusion. Then he dropped his hand, licking the sauce off his thumb. Noelle blushed and looked at Cody-- who shrugged like he didn't understand either. Such a lie.
Noelle decided to smile, "Thanks, Rey." she said and served him the meatballs-- then returning to Cody and gaving him as many as he wanted. [/blockquote][/size] Frozen into Darkness~

Rey gave a quick sigh of relief. So she didn't get upset. Good...But i really got to act more...Normal...These are other people, not just animals. Somethings I shouldn't do. Rey sat back down and looked across the table to Cody. Well his idea...It worked... Rey grined and gave Cody a thumbs up with the same thumb he used on Noelle's cheek. He held down a snicker as he went to eat. Rey was about to just lift the plate and eat with his hands, but he stopped himself before picking it up. Instead he grabbed the fork rather then the plate. See? I can do this...Its like i already remember. This looks like the ration, except its on a plate, and looks more tastey. Rey thought to himself. He started to eat, but after the first few bites, he felt his stomach tighten up with pain. Rey gritted his teeth for only a breif moment as his stomach adjusted to actual food again. Ate too fast...That's all... Rey slowed down so as to avoid it happening again. When Rey finished eating he examined the fork kind of out of fasionation. He was surpised he still remembered how to use one. He put it down on the plate. "That was good Noelle...Um...Thank you." Rey said. He smiled. "So you guys eat good like this all the time right?" Man...I wish i could of a while ago...This is like heaven compared to what i am used to eating.

Noelle Stryder;Noelle smiled and served herself after Cody-- and they all began to eat. Cody seemed to be scarfing down everything while Noelle seemed more proper about the way she ate. It was just like a real family. The daughter always being polite and the son just not caring.
Cody glanced up at Rey in question, "Nah, Noelle never cooks this good." Noelle made a face and took a drink of her water, glaring at Cody over the glass, Cody continued as if he didn't see her glaring eyes, "You just caught us on a good day. Usually after a raid Noelle coosk better stuff. It's just because we have more food."
Noelle sighed, "Yeah, you can't always have what you want. So I try to bear with what we do have..." Cody leaned over his plate, "Yeah.. and make too many veggies..." Noelle really gave him a glare then, "They're good for you Cody. Trust me if I wasn't feeding you those you might be dead." Cody instantly looked at her, "...Seriously?" "Yes seriously! It's not like love them too, Cody." "Then why do we have to eat them!" Cody exclaimed. Noelle sighed, and thankfully Rey inturrupted with thanking Noelle for the food.
Despite herself, Noelle smiled and nodded her head, "No problem, Rey." [/blockquote][/size] Frozen into Darkness~

Rey watched Noelle and Cody. They really did seem family like. Brother and sister argueing over something that's so silly. Rey smiled. Rey got up. "If you will excuse me guys." Rey got up and went into the room where he left his backpack. He searched it and found the ipod he found on his travels. He also took out a charger and headphone. Idk how long im staying in a place with electricity, so i might aswell use it well. Rey looked around and found a wall socket. He kneeled down and plugged it in. He watched as he pressed the menu button, and the small device lit up. Rey grinned at his accomplishment. Next he put the headphones into the ipod and looked though the songs. He flipped though til he found some music that was fimiliar to him. When his dad was around, he listened to alot of diffrent music. Some of Rey's favorites leaned toward the alternative rock and rap music. His mom was more into the country, but Rey really never caught on to it. Rey found a song he knew. He clicked "Sublime- What i got" It was an old song that his father listened to from childhood, and played it off a CD when Rey was younger. Rey sat up against the wall and listened. He smiled at the good memories that flooded his mind. Wow...What a chance that out of all this music, this person had this song. Rey thought to himself. He kept the song on, and continued searching though the ipod for other music he might like.

Noelle Stryder;Noelle finished a bit sooner than Cody-- already on instinct getting up to get Rey's plate from the table and heading for the sink. Cody glanced up at her and picked up his plate, feeling a bit guilty for giving her such a hard time today. He smiled a bit and took the plates from Noelle's hands, "You should lay down, Nims. I'll do the dishes."
Noelle gave him a puzzled look, but didn't bother arguing with him. She let Cody take the plates from her and watched breifly as Cody started to wash them. Noelle felt herself smile a bit-- no matter how much she accepted that Cody was her little brother... he was growing up.
As Cody was washing the dishes and Rey was listening to his ipod, Noelle took the time to get some alone time. She headed for the sun room, not bothering to turn the light on. After all, the light may attract attention and that was the last thing Noelle needed right now. She dragged her tired limps to the couch and totally crashed on it. Her body looked limp on the couch as she stared up at the night sky. After a few moment, Noelle closed her eyes and tried to enjoy the few moments she had of relaxing before she put Cody to bed...

Rey took the head phones out of his ears, turned the music off, and let the ipod charge. He looked over at his backpack, still in the oppisite cornor where he left he. He stared at it sadly. I guess i'll have to leave soon...I mean...I couldn't just ask to stay could I? No, maybe its for the best... Rey stood up and looked out through a nearby window. Most of what he could see was slowly turning dark. ...Maybe if it's not too much, ill just ask to bunk the night...Its probally too much to risk to go out right now. It would be diffrent if there was more woods or forest around... Rey looked around the house and shrugged. He went over to his backpack and took out his survival knife. Rey leaned against the wall and sunk down to the floor. His head felt light. He let the knife drop to his side. After his head got light, he felt sleepy. Rey let himself to the darkness.

Noelle Stryder;Noelle didn't realize that she fell asleep untill Cody was shacking her awake. Her eyes opened slowly, trying to see clearly in the darkness. Cody's face looked exausted, her curly brown hair ruffled and a blanket around his shoulders. Noelle could tell that Cody took his shower; by the added nest of unbrushed curls. He had already brushed his teeth, and he was already in his pjs. Noelle smiled, that was so much less that she had to tell him to do. Cody was trying to help her and she felt happy to know that.
Noelle weakly got off the couch she was resting on and placed a hand on Cody's back, "Time for bed..." she said softly and took him upstairs. On their way there, Noelle noticed Rey sleeping on the floor. She sighed, she'd have to figure out how to move him after putting Cody to sleep...
After an hour of putting Cody to sleep, Noelle came back down stairs-- yawning. Her ran a hand through her knotted brown curls and made her way over to Rey. She examined him a moment, how the hell was she going to move him upstairs? Noelle made a face. She may have been strong but Rey was just to muscular. There was no way she'd get him upstairs on her own. Noelle looked around and eyed the couch Cody was sleeping on earlier. Rey wouldn't mind sleeping on a pull out would he? It was pretty comfortable.
Noelle smiled and took the coutions off the couch and pushed the coffee table out of the way. With a sigh and pulled out the fold-in mattress and eyed the bed with longing. Oh god she needed to sleep... what time was it? Noelle looked over at the fire place-- seeing on the clock that it was 2 in the morning. She sighed heavily, looks like she couldn't raid tomorrow. At least they got enough food for another day. With another sigh, Noelle walked back to Rey and proped herself under his arm, her other wrapping around his waist. Noelle counted 3 beats then lifted. Her legs hurt like all hell now. She didn't think he was that heavy. If she was going to let him stay here she would have to figure out how to get her hands on some weight loss pills. Honestly. She dragged Rey over to the couch and gently sat him down-- her legs giving out in the process. Noelle gasped and fell to the floor. Damn-- what would of happened if she took him upstairs?
"Alright, get the job done, Nims.." she told herself and grabbed Rey's feet, pulling them onto the mattress. She nodded at her success of moving him and walked away to get blankets. Once back, she layed the blanket onto Rey gently-- like she was putting Cody to sleep all over again. For a moment, Noelle nodded off while standing. Her eyes started to blurr in and out and her body felt weaker. God, did that couch look nice....
Without giving another though, Noelle crawled onto the couch with Rey and snuggled under the covers. She'd just have to deal with Rey later but right now... she needed sleep. Noelle's eyes closed and she drifted to sleep, her back close aganist Rey's chest. [/blockquote][/size] Frozen into Darkness~

When Noelle finally fell ontop of Rey, the sudden thud woke him. He tightened up noticeing something was ontop of him. He looked around. What? I didn't...But then...And... Rey found it to be Noelle that had fallen asleep on him. He smiled a bit and whispered. "Well you didn't have to drag me here...If you had just kicked me or something...Silly..." Rey sighed. Well i think she is finally out... He held her close and readjusted slightly. He stared up at the ceiling for a while. It was diffrent for Rey. Rey was used to getting nothing to sleep on. For as long as he could remember, he slept on cold or uncomfortable surfaces. It was new to him to feel warm or comfortable. It also was new to have someone else sleep with him. He looked at Noelle. Most times during the night he wanted to keep himself safe and could care less about everything else. Now, he just wanted to make sure that Noelle slept fine. He gently stroked her hair out of her face and gazed upon her. He watched her sleep for a moment, astonished at how beautiful she was asleep just as if she was awake. Rey leaned his head back down and drifted back to sleep again.

Noelle Stryder;The house was sill... it felt odd for it to be so quiet. Noelle found herself awake in the middle of the night-- another odd thing for her. Expically since she was practically knocked out. She glanced over at Rey-- still asleep. Though he wasn't snoring. Wait a second-- wasn't he snoring earlier? Noelle looked around, something felt odd to her. Her pursed her lips and sat up-- trying not to wake Rey.
Then the crashing of brocken glass sounded. Noelle gasped and her head shot to the direction of the stairs, "Cody." She shoved herself out of bed, pulling out the gun she snuck under the covers and ran for the stairs. There was a sound of various crashes, things being brocken. Noelle rounded the corner and saw Cody's bedroom door fallen in the hallway. "No!" Noelle ran into Cody's room and got knocked to the floor. Her head hurt and as she looked up she saw Nicolii. Her eyes widdened in shock.
"Noelle!" Cody was screaming, her hands covering his face. Noelle could see a faint streak of tears down his cheek. And next to him was what stunned her most of all. Jasper Daiz was over her brother, holding him from behind. His bright red eyes looking at her... taunting her... "N--!" "Nims!!!" Cody's scream was blood curtiling and instantly cut off when Jasper ripped his teeth across Cody's neck. Noelle felt the screaming escape her lips... a sound she was pretty sure was too loud to come out of her mouth.
"Uh!" Noelle woke up, looking around frantically. A dream? She sat up, seeing Rey next to her. He was snoring though, and his arm was around her waist. Confused, and completel horrified, she took the gun out from under her pillow and jumped off the bed-- not caring this time if Rey woke up. She ran as quickly as she could upstairs and rounded the corner to Cody's bedroom. The door was closed but she didn't trust the fact. She shoved the door open and looked in, her breathing heavy. Cody was still in his bed, safe and sound. Noelle's heart stopped and she fell to her knees, feeling tears fall down her cheeks. [/blockquote][/size] Frozen into Darkness~
