| Myles quickly moved his hand up. "Gah!" he half-shouted, half-groaned, wiping the paste away with a look of disgust. He looked to Isabel, putting on a playful frown. "You cheeky devil." he scolded, still joking. "I'd chase ya, but I don't wanna have ya' messing up your bandages." he added, pointing for emphasis. |

Isabel grins victoriously and sways side to side for a moment. "I win." She stands and stretches a bit, not enjoying the sore and stiff feeling. She moves over to the entrance of the cave and peers out, simply curious. "I wonder what the others are do-" her speech is cut off when an arrow flies right by her cheek, leaving a deep gash. "Sorry! I'm so sorry!" yells a female voice and Isabel takes a few steps back into the cave. A girl appears, holding a bow, and she skids to a stop at the entrance. "I sincerely apologize. I thought you were one of those monsters." "How...?" Isabel asks, slightly annoyed while she dabs at the blood on her face. "Your eyes. One of the monsters that attacked the group I was in had extremely bright eyes. You just startled me... Quit touching it!" she exclaims and Isabel stops dabbing at her cheek. The girl slides down into the cave and inspects her face for a moment before seeing the paste that Myles had. "Where did you get that?" "I made it... Courtesy of the cannibal," Isabel says, showing her bandaged arms. The girl makes a face before sticking her finger in the paste and swiping it on Isabel's cheek, causing her to flinch roughly. "My name's Alec," she says quietly while making sure that she covered Isabel's cheek enough. "Isabel," she replies, holding still. |

(Sig, on page nine Tom snuck out of the cave again.)
-Tom-
Walking around throughout the forest Tom had found many exotic things. Things that don't usually grow in North America or anywhere near there. He found a broken egg about as big as a puppy, and a mushroom with purple dots.
Tom ceased to move at the sight of smoke. He could smell cooked meat and hear three voices talking a medium distance away. The voices he heard sounded somewhat grudgy and almost southern.
One of the men chuckle as he says "If I see one more of those crazed mother _____ im gonna cook it like an animal"
"Probably rednecks who disliked anyother folk not from america." Tom though as he tried to maneuver around the trees. He didn't want to startle these men, as it might lead to a argument, or even worse. |

| Myles was already on his feet by the time the arrow landed, his Sledgehammer clenched in his hands. He watched the new arrival with great suspicion. "Myles." he greeted simply, moving to stand beside Isabel. |

Alec looks at Myles for a moment before looking at Isabel with a raised eyebrow. Isabel had seen that look plenty of times back home. "No," she says flatly and Alec shrugs. "Do you guys mind if I stay with you? I'm not too keen on walking around with no one else." Isabel would say yes, but she turns to Myles for an answer. |

| Myles looked Alec over carefully, his mind processing the possibilities. The arrow had been an accident, or so she had said... She was nice, more or less. Myles's mind turned back to the bow. She was a good enough shot. Perhaps a hunter? Myles did not want a vengeful hunter in the Dome. Sighing, Myles lowered his Sledgehammer, offering a halfhearted smile and a hand to shake. "Sure... Just make sure to check your target before ya' shoot." he replied at last. |

She chuckles and nods with a smile, shaking his hand. "I'll make sure next time." Alec looks at Isabel again and Isabel sighs while shaking her head. "Leave it alone," she hisses. |

| Myles looked between Isabel and Alec, raising an eyebrow. "I'm missin' something." he stated matter-of-factly, finishing his quick handshake. |

| "It's a girl thing," Isabel points out while sitting down to go through her bag. Alec shrugs and sits down as well. |

Myles looked between Isabel and Alec. A sneaking suspicion made it's way into his mind, before he sighed and shook his head. "Well, anyway... We don't have much in the way of... Well, anything around here, but I'm hoping we can change that. You know, try and make this place a bit harder to find, or maybe just secure it, that kinda stuff." he said, trying to change the topic as he motioned to the completely open entrance. "Also, sorry if everythin' smells like smoke, we had to make the fire inside of the cave." he added, sitting down and searching through his own pack.
((Is there any food in the packs?) |

(Mmnope, but Isabel has some raw fish with her.)
"No problem," Alec replies. Isabel yawns and rubs her eyes with the heels of her hands before rolling her wrists. "How'd that happen anyway?" Isabel looks at her arms and smirks. "I stopped running," she chuckles. "It tackled me and was trying to get at my throat I'm assuming, but I kept my arms in the way." "Geez, I'm sorry." "Nah, it's alright, just throbs every now and then," she says, taking a drink of her water. |

| Myles sighed as he closed up his pack, looking around. "Well, let's see... Plans for the day, people?" he asked, shifting the grip on his Sledgehammer. "Should probably start small, in my opinion, buuut..." he added, trailing off as he glanced at the open cave entrance once more. |

| "Is it seriously bothering you?" Isabel asks, just a few inches from his face all of a sudden. "Chill out a little." She flicks him in the forehead and sits back on her feet before grabbing for one of her containers. |

| "Augh!" Myles shouted as he suddenly found Isabel up close to him, pulling back. "Please don't do that, this place has me a bit jumpy." he groaned, straightening up. "And, well, you saw how fast that thing was, Isabel. Hell, I barely heard it. I'm sorry, but I really don't trust an uncovered hole to keep out whatever finds this place." he added, staring at the fire with furrowed eyebrows. He was finding it difficult to go back to his usual attitude in such a serious situation. |

-Tom-
"Could I get past those guys without sounding like a startled animal?" Tom whispered to himself as he estimated what he should do. If he ran they could catch up, or possibly have a ranged weapon of some sort. But if he attaked he could as well end up injured or even dead.
Before making his decision he wondered how Isabel and Myles were doing at the cave, and if they had even noticed he was gone yet. But back to the matter at hand, tom decided on a conclusion. Although Tom didn't know these people it was quite clear what their logical point of view was.
Tom stormed their small camp from out of the bushes quickly darting to the side and chucking the dead squirrel intestines he had found earlier at the large man with the red hat's eyes. It was a direct hit, the man ran around swining his axe in different directions. A quick glance at the other two showed them lunging at Tom with a spear and sword. Tom knew he couldn't dodge both.
Tom's blood spewed on the ground as the tip of the elder man's spear whent directly though his lower torso. Coughing up blood he quickly broke the tip of the spear off, and stabbed the old man. The sword of the young man was still halfway swung and Tom turned around to kick the man in the head with his knee. They were all either dead or knocked out. Tom fealt accomplished and pity at the same time. |

-Tom-
Tom didn't like the thought of killing people, unless for survival purposes. Tom began to think of what he should bring along with him as he checked the first of two tents. He had already picked up the Axe and Sword and their water gourd. Tom also found some cooked deer meat that could be re-heated.
As Tom began to open the second tent he heard a shuffling voice from inside, and Tom opened it just a moment to quickly. As he looked inside a small boy probably of the age of 12 or 13 was inside, crying. Tom's body froze, the thought of a child crying made him begin to have trouble breathing. Looking down from the childs face he noticed the child had a readied arrow inside of a bow. Before Tom could move the boy had let go of his fingers and the arrow came flying straight through his left shoulder.
"Augh!" Tom screamed in pain, it was almost as bad as his experience on the elevator. Tom wouldn't hurt a child and instead tried reasoning with him. "Ple...please don't sho... shoot. I am not try-" The boy suddenly crawled out from a crack in the tent and was gone before Tom could see him. Tom fealt saddened by his actions. Killing the boys protector, or even father. Tom fealt that he had done wrong although the men seemed like ruthless killers. |

-Tom-
As Tom was heading home he began to question his purpose of the group. Myles was the protector, Isabela was the knowledge. "What am I?" Tom thought. He had already ran off twice, killed 3 men, possibly the father of a young child, and.... "Wait" Tom said. Why would a young child be in a place like this? Tom though hard and deep and his concentration broke by the pain in his left shoulder and his lower torso. Tom had removed the left arrow, but the spear tip was still inside of his chest. He was bleeding tremendously, he probably only had about an hour before he would bleed to death.
Tom was carrying not only his own supplies but a Sword, Axe, Water Gourd, Deer Fur (For bedding), and some Deer Meat. He wouldn't be back for another fifteen or so minutes. Tom still wondered what his purpose of the group was... he didn't seem to have one, no matter how hard he thinked, he couldn't tell.
Tom was anxious, he could see the outside of the cave. Just a couple hundred feet and he would be there. Trying his hardest to find an alliby about where he had been he forgot about the spear tip sticking out from his body. He was almost panting now. It was hot, and he was hurt, he needed food, water, and medicine. Tom staggered to the entrance of the cave "I'm back" He said, trying to give his best fake smile. "I was just ou-" He almost finished as he saw a strange girl with a bow in her hands standing before Isabela and Myles. |

Isabel sighs and shrugs, "Do what you have to." She was about to move to the back of the cave when she sees Tom come in, blood clinging to him. "Tom... What??" she questions, honestly to shocked to be able to get a real question formed. Alec blinks widely, but stays still and silent, not wanting to disrupt anything since she didn't know him.
(Eugh. Sorry for the total delay Dx reality has sucked lately.) |

| Myles's eyes locked up Tom. He froze, before snarling in a mixture of frustration and a bit of panic. He cursed, rushing to Tom. "For God's sake, man, sit down!" he ordered firmly. He wanted to scream and rant, to say 'I told you so', but that could wait. Just a bit longer, it could wait. |
