He looked over and saw George, also soaked. "Well, this went slightly overboard." Elias laughed. "Woah! I didn't mean for that to happen, sorry!" Elias ran over to Will and Raine. "You okay there, Raine?"

Spitting out water she sputtered."Yeah, I'm fine." She said, her arms cross and her eyes glared at the water. Looking then at Elias and George, she felt like she was a puppy being carried by her scruff. A deep blush crossed her face. Her toes drug across the top of the water.

George stretched a bit. "Yeah I'm starving." He picked his fedora back up, dusted it off and then put it back on as he walked back over to the group.

Rose petel sat back down. "I'm glad your fine raine cause who knows the water could have swift you away just saying but other than that I'm glad you fine." She said. She was still a little fighten that raine could have drowned or worse it she didn't say anything else she just sat there drawing again.

Will carried her up to the shore and sat her down in a rock. He got a fire started and began cooking the meat, keeping it on the sword. After a while, he asked George if he'll finish the fish.

"Cool!" Elias sat down in front of the fire. He looked at Will. "So, do we continue towards the portal tomorrow morning and camp here for the night?"

She practically shook the water off. Then went over to sit on a tree root, the sun didn't seem to be too low. It didn't seem too long ago that she woke up. Which reminded her that she would need liquor before sleeping.

George looked at the fish cooking on the fire. He deep took a breath and took a swig from his flask. He was about to put it away and then took another quick drink.

"Hey I don't mind taking the first watch seriously I don't mind" she said

Will nodded at Rise and handed George the fish to finish cooking. He walked past Elias and patted his shoulder before going over to Raine. "Hey, can you come with me for a second?"

Elias looked at Will and Raine, then looked away, back at the fire. He adjusted the way he was sitting to a more comfortable position as he stared at the flickering orange flames, their light reflected in his eyes. His eyelids drooped slightly in the warmth of the flames.

Uh oh. What did he want from her? "Uh. Okay...sure Will." She looked at the group with a helplss gaze then back towards him. She wrangled her damp clothes as her nerves raged in her body. Did she do something wrong? Sge hadnt meant for him to get hit with rocks. She had been playing and..and..and it was accident! Was he going to stick her with the needle for punishment? Her face went solid white at the thought. Raine started to follow Will slowly trudging behind him..

George took the fish and continued to cook them. He glanced down at his arms, sighing at the brandings on them. He covered them slightly with his hands, they reminded him to much of his past.

Rose petel kept drawing. "So guys what's your favorite thing?" She asked.

Will lead her into the woods. Once they were a distance away from everyone, he turned and looked at her. "So Raine, what was up with you this morning? Running into the woods like that, you scared the hell out of us." He said, sitting in a tree stump.

"Hey, George? What are the markings on your arms from?" Elias asked. He was still looking at the fish cooking over the fire.

Raine grimaced. She didn't expect for him to ask such a personal and...private question. "I'm sorry bout that. I caused a lot of trouble and delayed our journey." She rubbed the back of her head. "I never really told anyone. But since we all will be traveling together, I suppose I must tell someone. It has been a while since I went to sleep without liquor." Her once playful features changed into that of melancholy. "When I sleep....I relive my nightmares." she sighed, not sure how to explain her past. "When I was little, I don't exactly have an age...." she looked at Will through her white bangs. "I was chained and caged for most of my life. I was used for experiments. At first it wasn't hard to take the pricks of the needles. The poison or whatever it was, wasn't as effective at the beginning." She closed her eyes."Then they started to get it right."

She held herself, "The more they got it right, the more pain the poison caused. It was like an ice cold fire raging through my veins. Then...Finally I changed, morphing into my beast form for the first time." Why was she telling him this? She hadn't told Elias when he asked..."It hurt, my bones broke and my skin tore apart painfully. They forced me to change constantly. Needle after needle after needle they stuck into me." Her voice began to break as tears started trailing down her cheek. "They began to touch me, bound by my chains I couldn't get away from their prying hands. I was to b-be used as a weapon against the demons, a-and their private p-plaything." She hiccuped and put her palms against her eyes to stop the tears. "I don't w-want them to f-find me! I don't want to be c-caged! I don't want to b-be poked and prodded....never again...."

George glanced at Elias. "Well uh they're kinda hard to explain." He thought for a moment, wanting to explain it the right way. "Well before I was living over in that town we all came from I was sort of part of a gang." He looked down at his arms again. "These markings were meant to separate us from other rival gangs. It was a dark time in my life but i didn't really have any other family besides them." He ran his hand down one arm, tracing the strange rune like markings that were branded on his skin.

"Hey guys I'm going to check where the water leads to be right back" she said as she got up and head down the stream she sat down far from where the others were and she poked a finger in the water and took it out."how can anybody like water" she wondered.

Will looked over at her and wrapped his arm around her. He rested her head on his shoulder and rubbed her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
