Doll Factory

Erika smiled at Kat when she said that they'd ask somebody about it later. Suddenly, a lady came and told them to follow her. She looked nice enough, and the rest of her siblings were going, so she followed the lady, and the rest of her siblings, to a nearby clothing store. She was lead over to the ladies section along with Kat. For a second, she just stood there, spaced out, thinking.

"... you like, Erika?"

"Huh?" Erika perked up at those last few words. "Oh, no.." She said, silently, as she started to search the racks, placing 'Kelly' under her arm so that she could have free hands to look for clothes. She found a purple plaid skirt, and picked it up. Purple was Kelly's favorite color. She also found a white, long sleeved shirt with purple stripes on it. Then she found a yellow dress with a white waistband. Yellow was Erika's favorite color. She smiled and walked over to it. It looked just her size, and for some reason, she really loved dresses. She picked that up. Erika didn't want to go in the dressing room to try on something that she knew would fit her. The skirt was the same size as the skirt the had on now, and the top looked just a little too big for her. She flinged the pieces of clothing over her shoulder and kept on looking for something that was at least her size.

Minori caught the pants and shirts and took them into them into the changing room. He swapped the blood stained dress that his father had kept him in and exchanged it with the white shirt and pants. Minori looked into the dressing room mirror and almost laughed. "I look more like an older sister than a brother. Guess that's why that lady was confused," Minori thought. His brown hair was long enough to reach the small of his back, but because of the fight with father and the subsequent flight it was tangled into countless knots. The pants were a little more restricting, but they gave more leg protection at least. The smallest sizes seemed to work best. Minori walked out of the changing room scratching his head. "So, how does it look?"

"Well, you still look like a girl," Kat smirked, "but at least that bloody dress is gone. After we get everyone else's clothes, well find someone to cut your hair." She pulled at a strand of Minori's tangled hair, "I wonder how everyone else is holding up, back at the building?" She thought aloud.
Then, Kat looked back at Minori and smiled, "Other than that, you look fine. Now let's find Erika and clothing for everyone else."

"Mmm, I think I'll keep my hair. It....holds my memories. I don't want to lose them," Minori replied. "The dress did to, but I can handle losing it." Minori turned and went to look at clothes for the rest of his siblings. He wasn't sure what would look good, but he figured he'd just get something really plain and they would deal like he did. Beggers can't be chooses after all.

Back in the warehouse that they were sleeping in, Elliot was rummaging through what was left laying around. After all, especially since they had gotten away with sleeping there for the night, this place was definitely abandoned. Since it was abandoned Elliot assumed everything within it was abandoned as well.

There was one pile that he was making where there were supplies to make weapons. Not to mention, there were a few decent knives in this pile, though all of them needed sharpened. There was another pile of what Elliot considered junk, or stuff that he could at least, at that time, see no use for. Then there was a pile of building supplies, after all, if they were going to stay there (though he hoped they didn't, they were too close to where father's body would be for comfort) the place needed to be outfitted some, made a bit more habitable. Finally though Elliot found what he had been looking for, an oil can.

Silently, and with a bit of a sour look on his face, Elliot set to work on the door to make the screeching far less noticeable than it had been earlier. Loud noises like that drove Elliot insane. And he'd prefer not to kill anyone because he was being drove insane by loud screeches like that. Rather, he'd prefer that they gave him a good reason to kill them. Then he could get himself and Kat out there. Maybe they could go back to Italy and just fade into the background, forget this life that they currently lived, and become people.

But how would that work? They didn't know enough of society to function in a way like that, and Elliot didn't want to make Kat sad or take her away from people she (thought) she cared about.

That didn't lessen his desire to have his sister for himself though. It bothered him, having to share his twin with so many people. He owed her so much, and he wanted to take care of her. Everyone else was just in the way to him.

"Fine, fine. But I still say you look like a girl." Kat laughed, grabbing a whole bunch of guy clothes off of a shelf and then running back over to the girls section, doing the same.
Then, the woman came running over to her, "here she is, here she is!" She said, apparently talking to someone behind her. "Right here." Out from behind her came a man with wavy blonde hair, bright aqua eyes, and a charming smile. He was wearing a white jacket and had a black bag with him.
He smiled at her, "What a pretty young lady, can you please sit down for me?" His tone of voice was as if she was a baby and Kat didn't like it at all, she backed up a little.
"Who are you?" She snapped.
"Ooh, a feisty one, I'm Doctor Leo Barnes, I'm here to check up on your leg, Miss Baker here called me."
"Oh." She looked up at the woman, who didn't seem to be paying any attention, her eyes were fixed on the man, she looked completely gaagaa over him.
Reluctantly, she sat down, and the man began to pull up her skirt to get a better look at her wound. First mistake. Kat took this in a sexual manner, and slapped him across the face. He stood up, holding his hand to his face, "Ouch!"
After a few minutes, she had calmed down and unwrapped the cloth around her leg. He looked at it closely and poked and prodded it. Then, he cleaned it, and put antibiotics and a new wrap around it, saying it'll be fine if she let it alone, while still rubbing his cheek.
Once he left, Kat walked over to Minori, grabbed him, then went and found Erika and Nevaeh, dragging them out of the shop with their clothing, still flustered with what had happened with the doctor, and just happy none of her siblings had saw it. And even more grateful that Elliot hadn't been there to see it.
"Let's get some food, and go home."
