Archur just watched as the three story tall jackals collapsed, arrows in their throats and then looked at the girl, "Um... Hi? What an odd way to introduce yourself..." he muttered but smiled weakly, "I'm Archur."

"Yeah um, sorry about that.", she said. She placed her bow around herself and flicked at the string now going across her chest. She sighed and said, getting onto her horse, "I guess I'll be going now, unless there's a reason to stay." She looked up toward the moon now casting a shadow over her. She turned her horse away from Archur and nudged her horse into a walk.

(It's the afternoon)

"Unless you want to help fight things worse than that as well as creatures from your own nightmares, please go. I don't want you to get hurt," Archur nodded.

"Oh hell no, I'm not leaving. I would like to face the monsters in my nighmares. You should see 'em. They are about four times the size of those Chimeras and-" Suddenly Camden dropped to the ground, crying out in pain. She balled up her hands into fists and placed one on each side of her head. Pictures flashed through her mind of monsters and places. Like clues as to where the monsters were and as if she was destined to fight them. The last picture was of her hanging limp in some boy's arms. They both had blood all over them and tears glistened in the boy's eyes. When the pictures stopped she started crying, her head was still hurting so bad she wished Archur would shoot her in the head with a bow. Then she passed out.

"Oh crap," Archur rushed to her side and started fanning her, "Camden? Camden, wake up!" he said and grabbed a small canteen and poured its contents onto her face.

I woke up, choking on water. I jumped up and wiped the water off my face. My legs felt wobbbly and I almost fell down. "Maybe I should sit back down.", she said pretty much collapsing to the ground. "Oh and thanks for helping when passed out. The reason I passed out was because of a vision. I know visions aren't usually painful, but this one was.I saw pictures of monsters and places where they where, like I was destined to go fight them. I think you were there to. Let's get on my horse and go north. You can be first.", I say, grabbing his hand and half trying to lead him to my horse and half trying to use him to keep my self steady.

(Try not to over-state things. A character who has just woken up from something like that probably won't be talking that much.)

"Um... Okay," Archur looked at her curiously, wondering why he was telling her this but helped her to her feet and put her arm around his shoulder. "Maybe you should just ride the horse, I don't wanna leave Jarvis behind.

(oh sorry. I forgot about that. I wasn't thinking.)

"Okay.", Camden said drowsily. She tried to climb on her horse but couldn't. She tried two more times and by now she thought she could walk. "I guess I'll be walking.", She mumbled to herself as the took the horses halter and lead him away from Archur.

"No, here, let me help," Archur lifted her up with ease and lifted her as high as he could to help her onto the horse.

(where will they meet back up? I kind of want Camden to get captured and Archur and Jarvis have to come rescue her or something)

"Thanks for everything.", Camden said, riding away on her horse. I neighed and reared up. Then it took off running. Camden shot a nearby tree with her bow right in the center.

(I was thinking she would simply ride her horse slowly, especially after having just woken up. Sprinting away on a horse isn't exactly the best thing to do after having passed out. If anything, you need to work on consistency. And I dunno, Jarvis hasn't posted in a while...)

Archur walked up to the arrow and pulled it out of the tree before continuing on.

(Okay, fine. I'll remember that.)

Camden reached the river where she usually sleeps and stopped. She tried to get off her horse but fell. The loud thump scared Raven and he took off running the direction where Archur had been, crushing her hand and wrist. Luna pulled her injured hand close to her and tryed to sleep. She took the bag off her back (I forgot to mention the bag earlier) and reached in and got a wrist brace out. She held in a scream as she straightened her wrist and sliped on the brace. Since she had hurt her wrist one time before, she still had it and was very thankful. Just as she curled up to try to get some sleep, a man walked up to her. He picked her up and went to cover her mouth. She screamed as loud as she could. Her scream was half way cut off as the man covered her mouth with duct tape and tied her hands behind her back. He then threw her in the back of his black SUV. It spun tires as it tore away from the river and onto a main trail for hikers.

Archur was very startled when the horse came back with no rider and he tried to calm the beast down, "Woah, woah!" he racked his brain for the horses name ,"Raven? Raven... Calm down boy," he stroked the horses muzzle and that's when he heard the cut off scream. "Camden? Camden!" he yelled for her.

Just as the man reached the main road and got off the hiker trail, he hit a large tree limb that knocked the car onto it's side. The man cursed as the car tumbled down a hill and crashed into a tree at the bottom. He was thrown out of the car, dead. Camden was still alive and trying to scream. Blood was pouring from right above her eyebrow and she had many other deep cuts from the glass peircing her flesh. She realized how much blood she was losing, but couldn't do anything about it. Her hands were still tied and anyway, her bag was still by the river. She kept trying to scream but the sound was muffled.

Althalos jumped onto the horse and rode it back in the direction Camden had originally gone and found her bag. he picked it up and looked around, seeing signs of a struggle and foot steps leading away. He jumped back onto Raven and followed them to a set of tire tracks, which he followed to the site of a car crash and ran down to it, Camden? Camden, where are you?" he cried out.

She picked up her leg and pressed the horn with her foot. She did it repeatedly. "Poor Archur.", she thought. "I've cause him enough problems. Now he has to come rescue me." She stopped when her leg was tired. She realized the car was upside down and was glad she hadn't been wearing a seatbelt or sitting in the front. By now she felt horrible from losing so much blood. She lifted her leg and pressed the horn a few more times. Then lay down on the seat of the car, that was now scattered with glass.

He ran down to the wreck and looked at the upside down car. He got donw on his hands and knees, ignoring the glass and saw Camden. He quickly pulled her out of the car and pulled the gag out of her mouth and untied her hands, "Camden, what happened?!"

She was having trouble breathing. She turned away from Archur and pulled up her shirt. Right above her lung, was a large shard of glass. She turned back to him and said still struggling for a full breath, "I went back to the river to try to get some rest. Then this man just comes up and kidnaps me. I'm not even sure why." There's a long pause as she trys to gather some breath. "Then he wrecked the car. I think he died." She stopped again then pulled up her shirt to show him the glass. Then sank to her knees and started crying.

"Aww damn!" Archur yelled and gently held her head in his lap, stroking her hair and pulling out smaller pieces of glass.

Camden took her bag and dug in it until she found a knife. She took the cover off and stuck it into the chest, digging out the peice of glass. She dropped it on the ground and more tears came. "Archur, please don't leave me.", she said, grabbing his hand.
