Clovis follows, brow furrowed and a bit worried.
What on earth? She must be remembering something…

(:3)
She looked inside a room, panicked. She saw a boy in the corner, lying in an odd angle with blood all around. She hurried over to the corner, crying out, "Donovan? DONVAN!?" She began shaking him. "Donovan, don't leave! Please! I-it's time f-for Echo! You like Echo! Echo is yummy, no?" Her face was streaming with tears as she shook him harder.
(For the record, the boy "Donovan" is only in her mind. He's not really there, so she interacting with thin air.)
group
(Yeah, I get it.)(Also, blood and dead people is okay, but lets not make this gorey :D)
Clovis follows behind her and cocks his head.
I'll remember that one. Donovan? I'll ask her later…
(Figured it was gorey enough. I wouldn't have brought it up if it wasn't relevant.)
App stopped shaking him and hung her head sobbing. She couldn't snap out of it. She rocked on her heels, shaking. "Donovan. Donovan. Donovan…"
group
(Yep :D Thanks Whisp.)(About how old is this kid that's dead? Just curious.)
Clovis bites his lip. He wanted to help her, but it would probably just be best if he let her slowly come out of it on her own.
(This memory is back from when she was about ten years old, so he's around that age.)
App's head snapped up suddenly, her sobbing ceasing. "I'm so sorry Donovan. I wish had done more." She fell over, coughing harshly. She looked around bleakly, jumping when she saw Clovis so close. "C-Clovis?" She coughed hard. "What- cough- are you doing here..?"
group
(okay)
Clovis squats down and gently rubs her back, looking worried.
"I was making sure you were okay."
(Lol, Clovis really gets her)
(I'm glad about that.)
App looks back at the corner, then looks away, avoiding Clovis' gaze. "Yeah. I'm fine. How long were you standing there..?" She coughs again, her head wracked with pain.
group
He sits down cross legged on the floor and stares into the empty corner.
"The whole time…" He quietly answers.
App sighs. "Imma guess I wasn't lucky enough to have not said anything out loud…?" She wraps her arms around herself and turns her back to Clovis, waiting to hear his confirmation.
group
Clovis sighs, scooting closer and embracing her into a big bear hug.
"It's okay, Apollyon. I understand."
I do, I promise I do.
App turned away, starting to doubt his understanding with every memory she got. She stood up, pulling away from Clovis and walked out of the room, her heart starting to ache for some reason. Every time he touched her or hugged her, she felt something. And she was scared of that "something" because she didn't have a clue what it was.
group
(App… Dear love….. Just let him hug you XD)
Clovis sits, not really understanding why she pulled away. He runs his fingers through his hair and sighs.
Clovis, get this right. If you do or say something wrong it could cost you her life.
(Clovis: Stressing because he wants everyone to be happy)
(App: stressing because she wants everyone to be safe safe… from her.)
App went into a nurses station a few doors down and sat on the counter there, swinging her legs and staring down at herself, growing more and more concerned. She buries her face in her hands and mumbles, "I can't. I can't unless I want someone to get hurt. Gods, I shouldn't even exist. I should at least be dead like the others…"
group
(lol, App. He's safe, I promise.)
Clovis slowly and shakily stands, having had a lot of anxiety suddenly overcome him. He breathes slowly for a moment, closing his eyes.
He dusts himself off and wanders out of the room, running his fingers anxiously through his messy hair.
Blast, where is she?
(I… wouldn't count on that.)
App lies down on the marble surface. She groans as her thoughts bombard her. "Why am I alive? What happened that let me survive? Who the hell was Donovan? Why did I lose my memories? WHAT THE F*** IS "ECHO"?!" She screams the last part, fed up with the broken memories. Fed up with just living. She stands up and walks over to the window. She opens it wide and sits in the frame, dangling her legs over the edge as she glares at the sky.
group
(He…. actually might get himself killed XD)(But, as of now, she's under nourished, sick and small. At least compared to him.)
Clovis hears her loud words and follows the noise to the room. He doesn't answer because of her harsh rsponse earlier, and instead finds a chair outside of the room to sit down.
Calm down, please calm down, Clovis.
(Btw, my boi has some severe anxiety problems.)
(Oof. And she's dangling her legs out of a [I'm assuming at least] a third story window.)
App looked down at the ground, gripping the frame. She tilted her head and she contemplated if a death from this hight would be instantaneous or not. She wondered if she even deserved an instant death.
group
(lol, let's not have our babes commit suicide please. lol. PG)( Nervous laughter)
Clovis wrings his hands and then rubs them together. His face feels hot and his arms freezing. His heart beat feels irregular and his lips dry. He breathes shakily.
It's ok.
(Nope. Not yet. Scratch that, not ever.)
App starts singing a low, sweet song. It was in a different language that seemed to be made of warbles and chirps, as well as the standard alphabet. She swung her legs and sang. She felt the song was appropriate, as it sounded as sad and lost as she felt.
group
(FUN FACT: Clovis speaks German, Russian, French and English :D)
Clovis runs his fingers through his hair and tightly closes his eyes, grimacing.
She shoves me away and glares to the ground, her creamy eyes filled with tears. "You can't understand, and you never will. I can't live like this. I can't be around you!" She turns, looking straight into my eyes. "You've ruined it all… I can't-" She looks back to the grave stones at her feet. "I can't… I can't be there this time, Clovis."
I go to put my hand out, to say I'm sorry, but she quickly wipes her face and starts to walk away.
I didn't mean to do this…
(Imma bored….. Sooooo…….)
Claire stirred the slightest, hearing a bit of fainted yelling and such from other rooms. "H….h…. Hello?" She blinked a little, but didn't really open her eyes. Wh… What happened….?
Dare jolted awake when he heard Claire's voice. He looked down at her in his lap. "Mornin' Cupcake." he says, smiling softly and rubbing his eyes with his free hand.
Claire's breathing was shallow, and her head was still a little scrambled. "Wh….What happened?" She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Claire was still tired, but she didn't quite feel tired enough to go back to sleep.

(FUN FACT: The group of experiments App was a part of had its own unique language they all spoke from the beginning of their lives. "From birth" as I guess you could say.)
App finishes her song and her voice breaks on the last word. She looked down at the ground far below her, watching salt water drip from her face into the dirt below. She wipes her eyes and rolls back into the room, shutting the window with a loud squeak. She puts her head against the window and cries. "What is wrong with me?" She asks herself softly. "What is that weird feeling I get whenever Clovis gets close to me? My entire life is a frakkin' mystery to me, but that feeling is the most confusing thing to me right now…"
Claire's breathing was shallow, and her head was still a little scrambled. "Wh….What happened?" She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Claire was still tired, but she didn't quite feel tired enough to go back to sleep.
Dare bit his lip. "You, uh, passed out. After… I-" His voice broke off and he looked away, so ashamed of himself and scared. Scared of what he had done yet again. "I-I think we had a zombie attack outside, 'cause I heard a lot of shouting and gunshots, but I didn't want to leave you to go see."
"Oh….." Claire was a bit less surprised. "…Okay then…. And the others… Are they alright?" They have guns and such. They know how to kill, they should be okay. She leaned over against him. She zipped her jacket up and sighed a little. I'm just tired of running…
Dare was a little surprised when she leaned against him. He slowly wrapped his arms around her stomach. "Um, Claire? How much do you… remember? Before you passed out I mean."
(Ahhhhh I missed a bunch ;-;)
Fiona sighed and slowed down after a while, "Don't think about it.." She said softly to herself. She turned back to face the city and she pressed her eyes shut, walking back towards the edge of the city. "I'll find a building and I'll hide, I will survive. I don't need to make the others worry." She whispered.
