-Tom-
Glancing down at his feet his palms of his hands sweat nervously...
"Now, listen," he sighed. "If we're gonna be risking our necks for each other, we gotta know more about each other. We're in this together now, y'know?" Myles says... and it almost makes Tom fall over in to a state of shock. Why did this scare him so much, why was he so alone compared to the other two.
It had seemed never gotten over the death of his Wife and Children... a fake smile, day to day... he had realized. He never got his problems off his chest... with anyone. Hearing Myles say those words was like a symphony of pure beauty... and a knife continuously stabbing his heart.
Had Tom been infected by a shot? No... of course not. How could he, he wasn't crazy? Awkwardly in front of the other two he began to mumble word under his breathe and hold is head, it fealt like a bowl of fire. Tom finally figured he was crazy, just naturally. He stopped holding his head because as soon as the pain was there it was gone. "I...." Tom started but never finished.
Could he tell them? Looking up at their faces they were both so... happy compared to what Tom was... he sat in a more comfortable position and let out a sigh of relief. He was going to them his life story. |

| Isabel nods and stays balled up, feeling gross from the still damp blood stains on her clothes. She exhales shakily and feels a twinge in her arm. "I-I won't be much help, obviously," she mumbles. |

(Sorry for last post I made so many errors. I think it is still understandble mostly)
-Tom-
Tom was insane. Not because of a shot, or because of the dome. But just because of his memories.
"Daddy?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"Today I get to go to your office don't I?"
"Why yes you do." (Soft smile)
Tom's head began to burn again. It wasn't a normal pain. It was a pain of sadness that was different from a real pain. Myles was so friendly and eager... and Tom was shallow and selfish... Although Tom was a caring and thoughtful person he was so haunted by his past he could barely move a finger to save another. |

| "Give it time to heal, Isabel. Everybody's useful." Myles offered, taking note of the blood stains upon her. He silently wished he had a towel to give, at least. Sighing, Myles rubbed his forehead. " Well, I'm not too shabby with... Well, anything I can swing. Or thrust..." he stated slowly, trailing off. "Hey, can I... Ask what happened to your hands?" he said to Isabel, listening to Tom at the same time. |

-Tom-
Tom stared at Isabel and Myles...
"I... I was in an accident" pulling his shirt off as scars of each and every size cover his left arm and left upper torso.
"My wife and kids..." He begins to hold his head. It seems like he can't breathe... "It was bring your child to work day... 6 Years Ago. I had just gotten my new job at the Lynncorp Nation Bank Society Main Office Building. Before that I had been a Bodybuilder, but I lost most of my muscle..." Tom's face is turning red and more hot the more he talks.
"My wife worked at the front office at the building across the street... she decided to bring me lunch, and the kids so they could see my new office. I punched the cave wall behind me as hard as I could. "They said that the building was the most safest, securist, most efficient building around... I believed them." |

| As Tom spoke, Myles's hand slowly found it's way to his head once more. He massaged his forehead, before he allowed Tom to see his morose face. "I'm... I'm really sorry for your loss, man, but... 'S in the past now." he stated slowly, reaching out to touch Tom's shoulder. |

| Isabel stays quiet, not too keen on sharing her past now. She tucks her hands into her coat sleeves and buries her face against her knees. Her past compared to Tom's seems pathetic in a way and she refrains from sighing. |

(No matter how hard I try I screw up punctuation in each one of my segments... >_<)
-Tom-
Tears began to fall on the ground in front of Tom.
"They said my kids would play in the new kids area and everything would be fine..." Tom began to hit the wall again and again.
"My wife told me that she wanted to come up in the elevator with me to check out my new office. All four of us got inside the Elevator... Me, Andrea, Melissa, and Ken. Andrea... my wife she had beautiful red hair..." Tom began to punch the wall more and more, faster, harder. He stopped as he said "Ken was only 9, and Melissa 5."
By now Tom was trying to wipe the tears from his eyes to not show weakness but he couldn't help it. "My office was on the 43rd of 65 floors... the elevator has a loose cable and it began to fall as the chord snapped... atleast thats what the technichian said... My kids, were flung into the ceiling smashing their skulls against the hard metal roofing at 70 Miles per Hour. My wife was gashed by glass that flew from the broken window, and I myself was hit by some of it."
He said pointing at the scars on his left Body. "When they found me I was in critical condition... they gave me 2 months to live. But after 3 months I was in rehabilitation." |

| Myles winced, his mournful face growing even more morose. "Y'know, you can cry if ya want to... Nobody here is gonna judge you." he stated matter-of-factly, slowly releasing Tom's shoulder and looking down. |

| Isabel grips her legs tightly while Tom speaks, feeling horrible for him, but figuring saying anything would make it worse. No one should have to endure that, but then again, life isn't exactly fair. |

"Wy wife... she was still alive. Braind dead and a hole in her neck. She couldn't do anything by herself... to see her like that..." Tom was shivering and he looked up and smiled at Myles.
Tom wiped his eyes and began to talk to Myles to get it off his mind. "So what about you guys?" |

| Isabel pulls her head up and looks at Myles, her eyes half closed. "My story is kind of a partial stereotype for females... Not the most pleasant thing in the world..." |

| "... Well, I... Won't pry." Myles said slowly, looking between Isabel and Tom. "And me? Well, mine is... I'm really sorry, but I don't wanna talk about it either." he stated, still speaking hesitantly as he looked up at the ceiling. |

-Tom-
"Well I guess we all have a few things we don't want to share." Although Tom still had plenty of secrets, and he knew almost absolutely nothing about either of these two, he felt safe and secure around them.
Tom grabbed his knife, and his compass, as well as his Diagram of the Human Body that he thought was a map.
"Im going hunting" Tom said suddenly jolting up with a shot of adrenaline.
"Really?" Tom thought to himself. "Your going to act like this now, in the middle of the night? Your going to get yourself killed!" |

| Isabel looks at his sudden energy with surprise, but also concern. "Maybe you should stay. Being alone outside isn't the best thing. Especially in the dark." |

| "No you're not." Myles said simply and firmly, his eyes becoming stern. "You can go Rambo later, if you want to get killed, but right now we have an injured friend, a weak little fire, and weariness up the wazoo. You two are sleeping, I got first watch." he explained, pulling out his Sledgehammer with a grunt. |

Although Tom thought of Myles as a good friend, he didn't trust in all of Myles choices. Both of them had ideas, both had good and bad points. But Tom was thinking for the group first, and couldn't sit here and do nothing.
"Alright." Tom said. As he put his supplies back in his bookbag. He turned and faced torward Isabela giving her a sneaky smirk as he quickly dashed out the entrance of the cave.

| "Tom!" she hisses, suddenly lurching to her feet and regretting it when she stumbles back down to her knees. She groans and stays put, having to regain her breath. |

| "NO!" Myles shouted, jumping to his feet. He hesitated, looking back at Isabel. She would be unguarded. Myles looked back and forth, conflicted. Giving a loud curse, Myles threw his Sledgehammer to the floor, and promptly sat down. "... If he wants to die, then let him die. I hate to sound like I'm 'taking control' of the group or something, but I can't let stuff like that happen if we're gonna be surviving." he growled, his jovial nature from earlier worn away by steady irritation. |

-Tom-
Tom let out a chuckle of happiness. He hadn't fealt this young in years. He grabbed his thick MAchete-like-Dagger and grabbed his compass from his bookbag.
"Now if I go West I should be able to reach the side of the dome in an hour. Most animals will stay away from the sides of the dome, so somewhere around a mile ore two from here would be my best bet to find animals of some sort."
Tom thought to himself as he continue on. "Even for a night this is rather cold... he noticed the farther from the cave he went the colder it was. The fire of the cave was so warm. In the middle of think about the fire and bush wagged and he swiftly turned around to see what was going through the bushes.
A small squirrel appeared from behind the bush as it began to climb up a tree. Tom threw a rock at it, hitting it's stomach and missing his neck to break it's vertibre by an inch. He then took a lucky shot and threw his knife at the squirrel hitting it right in the head.
"Im sorry..." he said to the squirrel as he picked the blade out of it and began to head back to camp with it in his arms. |

| Isabel ends up moving to the point where her back was up against one of the walls and she exhales softly. She feels a sharp pain and rubs her collar bone for a moment and tugs the collar of her shirt upwards. She probably should say something about her past so it didn't seem so unfair for Tom, but she seriously felt uncomfortable and weak about it. |

| Myles slowly sat back, not noticing that his injured companion had moved way. "Well... Maybe he'll come back in one piece, eh?" he suggested, attempting to force his jovial state back to the surface. |

-Tom-
Tom was hardly 20 Feet away from the camp. He couldn't wait to roast this Squirrel and get a good nights sleep. He thought to himself when he returned he would apologize to Myles for being so sneaky and childish.
Tom's expression was at the point between happy and still burned from the past. Somehow being with these two made him slowly forget about his past and move on with his life. Inside a Dome being controlled by scientist... how ironic.
Tom was so happy he was actually smiling as he began to climb into the Cave.
"He-" Tom's word seem to have left his head. He felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and he blacked out falling in to the cave. |
