 The bike rack stood surprisingly unharmed, and even more surprisingly without zombies nearby, near the campus gates. Sofia walked over to it, half expecting a booby trap of some sort.
But there was none. Sofia's bike stood exactly where she had placed it, and it was even still locked. There were no bloody surprises in the basket, and no blood spatter on the rest of the bike either. She half wondered, what had she been expecting anyway?
Don't answer that...
Sofia unlocked the bike. Still no zombies. Were they all just inside, maybe? And wasn't that kind of weird, she thought morbidly, for them to only be inside? Maybe it was for the best, considering she had no weapon...
Well, best for her. Not for any of the others.
Oh, poor Elizabeth!
Sofia walked the bike past the campus gates. There were no teachers to scold her for leaving school early, but why would they reprimand a bike that was randomly leaving on its own? Sofia, of course, was still invisible. It wasn't something that wore off, it only would when she decided she wanted to be visible again. That probably wouldn't be for a while, though. Considering the circumstances.
The bike and the invisible Sofia walked past the big yellow school buses, the school buses that remained unharmed. Wasn't that weird? Well, zombies probably wouldn't have any interest in unoccupied buses, actually. They were more interested in live subjects, Sofia supposed.
Speaking of...
There was a movement under one of the school buses. Sofia stopped in her tracks, startled. What had that been?
The kickstand on the bike went down, because somehow she knew this was not a zombie. Or, at least, she thought so. If this was, she was to wind up like poor Elizabeth. She wasn't ready to meet Shakespeare yet. She was still too young. Brains and internal organs sounded like a gross diet, anyway.
Still unsure whether or not to make herself visible again, Sofia looked down under the bus. Maybe it was stupid, yeah. But hadn't she done stupider things? Yeah, plenty of times. More times than she would like to admit. Here was another tally mark: bending down to look under a school bus when the visitor could just as easily be a zombie who had somehow...
Why, it was a cat. Sofia, a little confused, initially thought of Monstro back at home: the moody, old Maine Coon who had to be lifted up onto his favorite perches. This cat, however, looked to be short haired and a bit smaller than Monstro; age was hard to determine by appearance alone.
Hi, she said quietly to the cat, still thinking about Monstro. Being talked to either made him purr with contentment or would make him lash his tail angrily as though to say be quiet, already. Really, it depended on the day. Was this cat somebody's pet, she wondered, or maybe a student who had the ability to shape shift? She stayed far away enough from the claws and the teeth as to not be attacked if the cat got startled or felt threatened, but couldn't deny that she was intrigued...

Icarus was cleaning himself when he heard Sophia say something. He walked up to her and he snffed her before rubbing up against her. He didn't want to reveal his special powers yet. For some reason, he was not afraid. Sure he could talk, but it wasn't as if he could talk his way out of getting eaten. The answer was probably that he was cocky.
He travelled through alleyways, trecked across backyards, and journeyed through zombie filled buildings, and he managed to get away without injury or death, so it would seem he was cocky inside himself.

((Sorry about that, I've been on deployment and busy with work.))
In a flash Lyle was moving, his mind registering everything going on in slow motion. All it took was a jab to the chest and a quick bash to the head to drop the Zombie attacking Ren. After giving the creature a second smack to the head, Lyle turned back to make sure Ren was all right. "I believe this is yours." Lyle said simply as he handed the bat back to Ren and continued on, he figured it was probably for the best that he move in front, no sense in having mroe close calls like that one.

Sofia smiled, even though that wouldn't show, and gently stroked the cat as he rubbed up against her. It was nice to have such lovely company, she thought. Much better than the alternative, at least. She kind of wanted to ask the cat his name, although she didn't even know that he could communicate with humans in the first place and that she had only known him for a minute now.
Almost cautiously, she brought up her still invisible hand and scratched the cat behind the ears. She was sure he could sense her presence and there was no doubt he could feel her touch. Was he somebody's pet, Sofia wondered, or maybe a shape shifter? She kind of wanted to ask him, even if in the back of her mind she acknowledged that his answer might be in the form of a meow. At least he seemed friendly, not at all like the bloodthirsty zombies. Maybe the cat thought the same of her (hopefully, at least)?

Icarus purred when Sophia scratched him behind the ears, and he tried to sniff out her hand to try and give her a kitty kiss (Biting sort of except they don't bite hard enough to make you bleed or get you hurt). Then he decided to try and get Sophia's nose because he thought that would make him look cuter.
The cat did not know how close to his mission was, but he tried to sniff out his current company's face. It was like trying to find a certaint black object in the dark, surrounded by other black objects that you're not looking for.

(I've been kitty kissed a few times. whee It's so cute.)
Sofia, acknowledging that even though the cat could sense her presence and feel her stroking him, knew that he couldn't actually see her. She was still a little bit wary, though, about turning herself visible again because there was really no way of knowing if or when the zombies would decide to join them. So far, it had only been her invisibility and the ability to be completely silent along with it that had saved her. And how far had the zombie infection spread, anyway? If somebody were to come outside, and for some reason there was almost nobody, then what if the zombies followed?
Well, at least she had a means of escape. She looked over at her bike for a moment, and then back at Icarus.
Then, she stood up.
I'm not going to leave you.
Zombies don't like the taste of cat, right? Too much fur.
I still don't even know his name.
She started at her toes, and up to the top of her red-haired head. Here were the sneakers and the jeans she wore, here was the off-white blouse (and yes, what a terrible color it was to wear today) above it. Sofia was visible again, even though she was still feeling a little wary about it. It was just a habit of hers to act before she thought, after all, when really it should have been the other way around. But what harm could a friendly cat do to her? It was the zombies she was more worried about.
She bent down again to Icarus' level, wondering where he lived- Sofia herself was thinking about going home and sincerely hoping the zombie infection wasn't centered anywhere around there.

Icarus looked at Sophia, and he thought she should have thought before acting, but still, he got in her face as he purred, and then, he opened his mouth to kitty kiss her nose, but not let go.
Icarus had a home and an owner, who was safe from all of this, and Icarus loved him. He travelled a great distance from his home because his owner hatched a plan, but he needed help. Icarus was the one who went to find help, and his journey brought him to the school.

Sofia didn't really know what to do when Icarus wouldn't let go of her nose, because Monstro had never done this. If he had ever tried, it would have been in an effort to bite her nose completely off instead of being affectionate.
Monstro hates other cats, Sofia remembered as she looked at Icarus.He would throw an absolute fit.
Since Sofia was technically unable to communicate with Icarus unless he miraculously spoke English, she still had no idea that he had a loving owner and that the owner had sent him out to get help. She thought of her own cat, and even though he was a total grouch she hoped that both he and the rest of her family were all somewhere where it was safer.
Even as Icarus held onto her nose, Sofia stroked him, and thought about what they were all going to do. What does one do about a zombie invasion?

  Ren got up, his hands burning. He took the bat, nodding to Lyle in absolute thanks for saving his life. He felt a tinge of coolness from Lyle; he knew how to keep calm and think about the situations. His mind was by far clearer than the others, as if he could process a lot more information in a quicker amount of time than most people. Little did Ren know, this was partly due to Lyle's hyper focus ability. He took his place behind Lyle, his tall figure looming over him.
Lenore ushered everyone out of the lounge, pocketing the keys as she tagged along with the group as they headed out for the parking lot. [ Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I moved to a new city and I started school again so I haven't been on in awhile. @omg: it's totes fine! ]

Felicia and Attina quietly made their way to the parking lot. Attina had two duffel bags and Felicia had one. The girl was still feeling pretty woozy. Having made it outside the two started towards the back. There was no stopping now and the grass outside meant that Felicia didn't have to use her power too much. Which was great. She tried not to steal too much of their energy but when she got tired some of the grass turned brown as she sucked it in. She almost felt like a sponge. The twins smiled as they saw the parking lot and saw the buses, now to wait for the others.

((You all would not believe the places I've been))
Lyle continued leading on, luckily enough his brother was staying quiet, how long that was going to last was anyone's guess. Every little detail was potentially important, on several occasions the extra attention had kept the group from making any unnecessary noise. It felt like no time at all had passed when they finally reached the parking lot. "Everyone still good? Only a little farther left to go." Lyle said simply, Revan flashed a thumbs up and went back to whatever he had that was keeping him preoccupied and quiet.

Icarus purred before he yawned, getting a little tired from his long journey. He trusted the girl to not be stupid and stay in the open where zombies could get her.
