Gypsy Center
There isn't much of a home set up for the gypsies, as they are constantly on the move. In the middle of a wooded area, there are several tents set up and many buried stashes around... The gypsies, after months of gathering wood planks, have begun building a sort of safe zone in the trees, a type of community tree house. Every gypsy has been pitching in on the assignment, young and old...
The gypsies have their own type of market system amongst themselves. They also have an honor code, and being as they are a group of thieves, top on their list is to never steal from fellow thieves.

Aleksander walked around the encampment making sure all was safe. At the center of the camp he looked up and examined the unfinished tree top safe house. The gypsies have gathered plenty of lumber but they still have been unable to finish the safe house they desire.
Deciding that he wanted to help further the task, Aleksander turned on his heels and headed for the edge of the camp. He was going to head over to the city in search of lumber and building supplies. Surely he would be able to find plenty of planks from boarded up houses and he was pretty sure nobody would think to grab stuff from the lumberyard in town. Without further thought he left for the city in search of the desired supplies.

Aleksander (Alex) Jaromír
Bright lights shown through the woods onto the gypsy camp. All of the occupants of the camp looked towards the light to satisfy their curiosity. Aleksander drove the truck through the camp to where they were stockpiling all of their lumber. He backed up to where the lumber was stacked under a large tent. There he put it in park and turned it off. He began to unload all of the lumber and eventually a few other people stopped by to help out. About half way through Alex stepped away and let the others take care of the unloading. He was exhausted from his days work in the city. He backed up to a pole supporting the tent and sat down, leaning up against it. From there he just watched the others unload the truck.

Aleksander (Alex) Jaromír
Aleksander had closed his eyes for what he thought was merely seconds but when he opened them again, the truck had been completely unloaded and everyone had gone back to their own business. Along with that, he felt well rested, as if he had slept for hours or all night. Aleksander looked towards the east and sure enough, he HAD slept all night. The sun was beginning to rise again and Alex was ready to tackle the day. He got up and stretched out before he headed for the city, leaving the truck for anyone else to use. Alex felt that there was surely something there was to gain from going to the city again, and for some unknown reason, he felt like going to the mall.

Aleksander (Alex) Jaromír
{Enter Alex from the mall}
Aleksander didn't know what it was but he could never have felt happier, especially after Brittany said she'd join the Gypsies. Could it be the fact that she was just like him? Strongly connected to nature, graceful, talented, and beautiful to put a cherry on top. Aleksander wasn't used to these emotions, he never let anyone get close to him since he was always the lower class, so to speak, in school. No one ever even liked him enough to get close in the first place. But Brittany, she was something different. She was unlike anyone he had ever met. All of this was flowing through his mind as they walked to the camp.
Finally they reached the camp, he could see the tents through the trees and towards the middle, he could see what was done of the safe house, although still incomplete. "Here we are. This is what I call home despite the fact we are very rarely in one place long." Alex led Brittany to the center of camp and looked up at the tree top building. "This is the safe house we've been working on. It would already be done but it takes a lot of time to gather the materials."

She looked all around,This place was perfect,Then she stepped infront of Alex,She kissed him on the cheek "Thank you for letting me come with you,I was really getting lonely" She said her tone kind and sincere,She really was lonely and really did thank him.She hoped her face wasn't as red as she thought it was.

Aleksander (Alex) JaromírAleksander froze where he stood as Brittany kissed his cheek. This had never been done before, not even by his own mother. He was breathless, speechless. Alex had no clue how to react other than to awkwardly continue with his little tour. "Y-you're welcome. It's m-my pleasure to bring you along." Aleksander walked over to the tent that held all of the lumber, the red F-150 still in front. "This is where we keep our supplies for the safe house." He then did a ninety degree turn and pointed out a tent. "That's my tent. I'm going to have you sleep there for now until we can find you an available one for your own. I'll sleep in the truck or something til then."

She shook her head, "No,It's ok,You can have the tent,I wanted to sleep outside anyway,I havent seen a forest since the outbreak hit and my-" Her voice was cut off the tears that flowed down her cheeks at the memory of her sister,She quickly turned around and walked off,She hated it when people saw her cry.She saw climbed up a tree and sat on a rather high branch,She cried quietly as she sat there.It was getting dark but she didn't care.

Aleksander (Alex) JaromírAleksander watched as she climbed up the tree. He wasn't good with talking to girls do to his inexperience, but empathy, that was a different story. His first instinct was to follow her and try to make her feel better. Alex walked over to the tree and slowly started climbing the tree. Once he got to her branch, he sat down next to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Tell me what bothers you. I am a good listener." Aleksander said soothingly.

She sighed and pushed his hand off her shoulder "I don't want to talk about it" She said looking off at the trees,She climbed down out of the tree and walked further into the forest,As she was walking she found a guitar case,She opened it slowly,There was a pretty nice guitar,She sat on a the ground and leaned up against a tree,She began to play a song that she had wrote soon after her sister died,She had played it many times before she lost her guitar.

Aleksander (Alex) JaromírSeeing that she obviously needed some time alone, Aleksander stayed in the tree but he tuned around and watched her walk. As he lost sight of her, he heard music come from the trees. A soft peaceful song on acoustic strings. The sound made Aleksander's heart drop. Brittany was missing something or someone from her past and he had no hope of filling that void. He just sat in the tree and listened to the beautiful music.

She finished the song she was on and switched to another one tears slid down her cheeks as she played,But they didn't change her voice.As she played and sung she was having flashbacks of her and her sister together.

Aleksander (Alex) JaromírOne song was sad enough as it was, but once Brittany continued to play on to another song, Alex couldn't help but let a tear roll down his face. He had never heard something so sad and beautiful all at the same time. And to add on to it, Mother Earth decided to take her part in the beauty. A wind came from the west, away from the city, with it came the smell of the apple blossoms from the orchard a little ways away.

She looked up at the sky "I will always love you sister" She whispered as she began to play her last song,She continued to look at the sky while she played.

Aleksander (Alex) JaromírAnother song?! I love the beauty but this is far too much sadness for one sitting. May the gods grant her better happiness. Yet another tear rolled down Aleksander's cheek. If this sadness continued any longer he would have to leave, walk away til he could hear the sadness no longer.
