She had been going for about an hour when she came across another ruined city. The buildings had long since been ransacked. They were all messy, with doors hanging off the hinges or completely off. It took Katherine a moment to notice that one of the doors was fixed. Someone had been here, too. She cautiously walked up to the small house and turned the doorknob. Nothing. She shrugged and stepped inside. It seemed like good shelter. As she entered the kitchen, she heard rustling, but saw nothing. She drew her weapon. "I am armed. I shall warn you, I have a gun." "You're bluffing," a voice said. It seemed to come from all directions. "Why don't you come out and see?" she challenged. "Now, usually, I'm all for challenges, but there's just one thing - you'd shoot me." "Not unless you gave me a reason to." The voice stayed silent. Suddenly, something rose from behind a barrel. It looked odd. A humanoid, but like the hand she'd seen holding the gun, and like the man's statue. Him. His hair was blond, and it looked as if he hadn't brushed it in weeks. Everything else on him was clean. His hands were up, as in, 'don't hurt me'.  Katherine held out the gun, trying to look menacing. The boy spoke to the wall behind and beneath him, "It's ok, Chase, she quite obviously poses no threat." Katherine was about to suggest he get mental help, but another boy rose. His hair was red, just like her's. His face reminded her if the few times she'd seen a mirror, or even her reflection. He seemed a few years older than her, and about one year older than the other boy. His eyes widened. He ran toward her, knocking over the barrel and attacking her in a hug. Something about this felt familiar. Then, something clicked. This was her brother. The male child her mother had. He had given Katherine the canteen. "Katherine!" Chase, her brother, Chase exclaimed. "Chase!" She cried, hugging him back. After they let go, Chase seemed to notice Katherine glance questioningly at the other boy. "Oh, I feel terrible! Katherine, this is Tyson. Tyson, this is my sister. The one I told you about."
