Belle stepped forward when she heard someone challenge her. It was none other than Maddie. She seemed to always want to be in charge, and she would be a good leader if Maddie could lead nearly anywhere. Belle gazed at her calmly, her expression not changing. They wanted a reaction out of her. "You have a couple options: one, you are punished, or two, you will leave this place and never return. If you can't work with the leader and group, then you are against the leader and group. Which is considered treason, which will now be, by the way, dealt with harshly. There is no room for disloyalty. How many of you want disloyalty and disrespect brought upon you when you are only looking out for everyone else?" She motioned to the group as a whole. 'Punished?' Maddie snorted, stretching her arms above her head. '/woman, you've never seen punishment until you've met my mother,/' she thought, trying to ignore the immediate ache in her heart as she missed her. 'Alright then; I propose a hypothetical situation.' She stood up straight. 'The people collectively no longer see you as their leader. Do you step down for another to take your place, or punish us all?' Maddie wanted to see the kind of person that Belle was; she knew she had to ask the questions that everybody was thinking, but wouldn't dare say. 'And how are you to lead by yourself? Even the greatest kings and queens of old had advisors.'

"Yes punished. If you find it a joke I can assure you it's not." She looked at Maddie up and down, "If everyone did hate me, then I would step down. However, I don't see that they have much reason to. Just and righteous rules are nothing to get upset about." The boy was a threat and a lost cause, he would only be another mouth to feed among all of the others they have now. "You're other question though, you are not proving that you heard what I said. To have advisors and such would obviously be chosen by the group which would go back to a democracy. A dictatorship is an individual or group who holds the power. I am no monarch."

To have advisors and such would obviously be chosen by the group which would go back to a democracy. A dictatorship is an individual or group who holds the power. I am no monarch." Maddie gazed at her for a very long amount of time that it began to become uncomfortable. A few people shuffled away from the girl, who was well known to be badly impulsive and easily irritated, unlike her calmer, more methodical counterpart, Kori. 'Then I highly suggest you use me as your first example.' She finally said, her voice bland, stubborn, and prideful. 'I follow no man nor woman whom rules alone.' She folded her arms across her chest, lifting her chin slightly. 'Maddie, stand down.' Rolf spoke up, surprising pretty much everyone in the room, including his medics. 'You won't change anything by arguing.' 'I'm not arguing.' Maddie responded. 'I am standing my ground. I have no faith nor trust in someone who relies only on themselves; listens only to their own advice, and makes calls that can effect such a large group of people.'

"If you can not trust me, and do not think I am capable, you are free to leave. The door is open." She pointed to a set of double doors with a red 'EXIT' sign above them. "But if you choose to leave, you will never be able to come back without being treated like a criminal." Belle warned. This girl was asking for a fight, but Belle was not going to throw the first punch. She was a dignified leader, and will not do anything that could make her lose trust in public.

This girl was asking for a fight, but Belle was not going to throw the first punch. She was a dignified leader, and will not do anything that could make her lose trust in public. 'what happened to punishment?' Maddie replied, before smiling and shaking her head. 'Don't make threats and then not follow through. I have no reason to leave; I have everything I need. My friends are here; we have supplies here; we have medics here. It is a strong, suitable base to hold down against the zombies. Not many people here would choose to leave.' She turned and began to head back to the corridor that led to the scouts quarters. 'You'll find that's the only reason some people are still here.' She stopped in the doorway. 'You don't become a leader by telling others what to do.' She smiled wider. 'You become one by earning their trust through blood, sweat, and some damn hard work.' When she finished speaking, she left the room, disappearing down the corridor. Rolf stared after her with raised eyebrows. He was extremely surprised that she had actually thought about her actions for once. He glanced back up at Belle, curious to see what her reaction would be. It wasn't as if he was going anywhere; there were children here that needed him. Rolf would treat anybody, no matter who they were.

Belle turned to address the others, "Punishment is still on the table. Only if you refuse to follow the rules and refuse to leave. Don't forget it. One ignorant person doesn't change anything." Belle was of course speaking about Maddie. Another coward, just like Rolf. She would most likely punish her later. Belle worked hard though, unlike what she assumed. Belle worked alongside her people, not just behind her desk. She was there on certain days for certain hours so people knew when to ask her things. Obviously someone as impulsive and a loose cannon such as Maddie could never understand that. "She won't be getting away with it though. Again, the leader's word is law. If you don't like it then leave. If you find that is a stupid desicion to leave, then I suppose you should follow the rules. It's not rocket science. You just have to have the basic capability to comprehend things." Belle realized she was pretty much speaking her mind now, although they wouldn't notice, it sounded like a speech.

'And what is this punishment?' Rolf called out, sounding more curious than anything else; no more accusation nor anger in his tone. He sounded genuinely interested, his head slightly tilted. Zero glanced at his brother, wondering why he was speaking out instead of keeping low for the time being; although Rolf had apologised he knew there was still bad blood.

(She's better in the field; right now she is very mistrustful of everyone, and she has been taught to speak her mind instead of blindly follow. If you earn her trust she'll kill to defend you xD she's just frustrated atm that there doesn't seem to be any teamwork happening))

Belle looked directly at Rolf when he spoke instead of everyone as a whole. "It could be as severe as involving a knife, or it could be a few blows, and not necessarily by me. It depends on what you did." She said in a very serious tone of voice. Belle figured thay brute force is what it might come down to. As Steven said, give them something to remember. No one should ever forget the rules and who is in charge.

Rolf felt an immediate weariness drench his body and soul. Wonderful. He rubbed the bridge of his nose again, seriously wishing he could go for a drink with his old friends, or sing in the band he'd had going at his university. 'Treating unnecessary wounds takes up medical supplies needed to treat accidental wounds gained by runners and scouts when they've been out in the field.' He tiredly replied, no more fight left in him. He gave up. 'any injuries gained from stepping out of line will not be treated by the medics unless you are under the age of fifteen.' he said, gazing directly at Belle. 'I suggest you all behave yourselves.'

Steven watched Maddie closely out of everyone else she kind of earned his respect for that, but not fully. A revolution in this world was not done by whining, or yelling no if these people truly wanted a revolution for the group they'd have asked someone to sneak up on Belle, and bashed her heads in in front of everyone. That was how a new leader was formed, that being said he wouldn't have supported them for he quite liked Belle as leader even if she wasn't the perfect leader. Maybe he was just being greedy he wanted a leader not afraid to bash someone's head in if they disobeyed them. He wanted a leader who set rules, and followed them firmly no matter how small. If you simply did anything that put the group at risk Steven thought they deserved to be punished. Hell if he wanted the stress of being leader he'd burn the side of their faces as reminders of their treason. Like what his friend did when Steven slept with his girlfriend. Steven was beaten, and then his best friend stabbed him in the eye. He still remembered Claire's face when she was the one who had to keep him alive. 'Wonder where that eye is now...' He thought simply before looking at Belle.
He wasn't sure if the meeting was over, or not so he simply stayed leaning on a nearby wall with his chill pose that he always gave. Taking out his pack of smokes he lit another one he always found it funny people thought he was smoking a real cigarette he wasn't into tobacco no the stuff in his smokes was the good stuff that kept him relaxed. As the smoke was lit he put the pack away, and took his camera snapping a picture of Belle, and then the others. "This will do good in Stevenister's newspaper." He laughed to himself aloud though in a whisper so it wasn't like everyone could hear him.
--------------------------------------------
Sonia watched the others with her idle pose as she didn't know what to say. She wasn't fond of this dictatorship at all. She preferred when everyone could speak their minds though the small girl didn't raise her voice like Maddie. She couldn't make it on her own, and she knew that she was too frail. However what Sonia did do was follow Maddie out into the corridor like a lost puppy she wanted to show she didn't agree with Belle, but she didn't wanna go on her own so she followed Maddie deciding it was the choice she agreed with out of the other one to stay being controller like a robot by Belle.

Maddie felt she was being followed, and turned, feeling immediately on edge. She relaxed however when she saw it was the small medic girl- what was her name again? Sonia- and gave her a confused and worried glance. 'Are you alright?' She tentitavely asked, always one to become awkward around people she didn't know well.

Sonia stopped when Maddie noticed her, and she stood still like a deer in headlights. She didn't really talk to people ever since this happened when she did it was merely about medic work, and ended there. This was the first big decision she has made since this whole thing started ever since now she had just followed everyone else. Regaining her composure she bowed as she was taught despite the apocalypse she still followed her classes of how to be a proper lady it got her made fun of sometimes, but that didn't stop her. "Um..... I agree with you...." She mumbled for a second before clearing her throat. "I agree with what you said to Belle." She reconfirmed what she said. "I don't think we should be ran just by what one person says, without her taking the advice from everyone else first." She added to her previous statement.
(Felt I needed one character who supports Belle, and another who doesn't. x3)

(Felt I needed one character who supports Belle, and another who doesn't. x3) Maddie's gaze softened to the girl, and she examined her for a moment, feeling humbled by her sweet nature and polite manners. 'Don't openly side with me.' She gently replied. 'I wouldn't want you getting in trouble because of me.' She shook her head. 'I didn't say those things for people to follow me. I said them because it's what I believe; it's how I was raised.' She offered her a friendly smile, albeit still nervous and wary. 'Keep your head down and your voice low.' She advised, then continued walking, looking at the floor and counting the tiles as she went.

Belle nodded to Rolf when he spoke. She knew it would use up medical supplies, and she was about to say that your wounds won't be treated. But Rolf said it before she could. She felt like adding, even if you are under the age of 15, you still won't be cared for. They are all one thing now: survivors. She stayed silent though, knowing this was already and big enough change. "I need a small group of people who are willing to take up a new position. One that would assist in upholding the laws. Let me know if you are intrested. You are dismissed." She motioned to the door. Belle could deal with Maddie later, she needed to talk to Steven he would help her out for the few days he would be here. Hopefully he would stick around long enough to make that a few weeks or months, but that desicion, she could not make. When most of the people cleared out, Belle stepped down from the stage went over to Steven. "How did I do?" She asked in a hushed tone.

Sonia watched her for a bit debating on listening, but shook her head she had made the choice to side with Maddie, and she would stick to it. If she stayed like this forever she'd never grow up she had yet to even kill a zombie yet, and she knew how weak all this made her. So when Maddie started walking again Sonia caught up with her, but this time walked by her side instead of behind her. "No, it's time I grow up. I'm siding with you, because I believe in what you said." She reconfirmed her stance on joining Maddie's side she was tired of kind of just being the girl who only followed the herd, the girl who never made her own choices, and followed through. She would grow up, she was already sixteen, there was no reason for her to act like she was ten still.

Or like *somebody insults zero* Skylar: *violent, extremely fast signing* Bully: *slowly backs away, rather mortified*

'Well side with me quietly,' she insisted, looking at her worriedly. 'Did you not hear what mrs leader was saying in there? I don't want you getting hurt because of me.' She looked down at her again, worrying her bottom lip, which was chapped and looked sore. She wasn't used to people liking her, and she wasn't sure about how she felt on this. Her friend group was limited at the moment to Kori, Rolf and Willow; her old friend group had been split between two schools, as they often competed against each other in sports.

Steven was about to skedaddle into the halls to get back to work on his baby seeing the assembly was finished. However he then heard the familiar voice of the leader speaking to him so he quickly twirled around, and faced her. It was weird hearing someone ask him if they did alright, he was the kind of guy everyone thought was lazy so he never heard that one before. In fact hearing it caused him to smile a bit, but he soon shook it off. "Not what I would've done, but good." He responded finally looking at her. He was a firm believer in the fear route, as in he would have killed Rolf for harming the leader, or at the very least burn the side of his face with a iron to leave a scar that would last. However that was just the kind of guy he was the kind of guy you think is a pretty chill and cool guy however can do some pretty messed up things when he wanted to, and still make a joke out of it. "I'm looking forward to seeing where this path leads us." Steven commented sticking his hands in his pockets as he looked around for a moment.
Then a thought occurred to him as he remembered the last bit Belle had said. A new job type, he wouldn't be lying if he was tempted to offer his services. However at the same time that would limit his ability to leave for months on end... Though at the same time he could see it now, dropping his hoodie for a leather jacket, and carrying around his new sexy barb baseball bat people knowing damn well that if they broke the rules while Steven was around he'd bash there leg with that oh so sexy bat of his. "You know if you want I'll join this new enforcer job." He offered though to be fair he was quite the good runner, leaving for months instead of days, always coming back with good stuff because of that.
---------------------------------------
Sonia looked at Maddie when she said that, and shook her head. "No, I don't want to be seen like that." She spoke this time her voice taking the most serious of tones she could handle. "I want to join you, but I don't want to be baggage." Sonia then took a moment to think despite saying all this she couldn't handle a fight with anyone, a zombie could even overpower her. "If I get hurt, or anything it's my own fault." She nodded with that she wanted to be Maddie's partner in taking this route not her new pet who needed protected from everything. "I need to grow up, and this route will help with that." She said this time mainly to herself a new determination sparking in the young girl.

Although Maddie could appreciate and most definitely loved the spirit in the young girl, she still felt laden down with the new burden of having someone following her and her beliefs. She only managed an, 'alright,' before continuing on her way to Scout dorms. She severely hoped the young girl wouldn't do anything brash. 'You're a medic, right?' She asked, turning into the corridor.
