When Caleb woke up, he wasn't exactly in a room, but rather in a tent-like area. He didn't look to be the only person here. In the corner, a lady figure sat at a makeshift desk with a pen in her hand. Around him were a couple beds much like the one he was in. Why was he here? He couldn't remember his last few moments. He remembered things like how last week he had a possum and herbal stew for dinner. He couldn't remember what he had been doing before he fell asleep. Did he fall asleep? More importantly, where was he? Silently, he pushed away the sheets above him and placed his feet on the floor. There was a sharp pain in his ribs, but he was used to pain like this, so he ignored it except for placing his left hand over the throb. When he stood, a dizziness fell over him. With a grunt, he stumbled. He seemed to be out of breath, and the throb pulsed greatly. Hands lifted him from under the armpits and sat him back on the bed he awakened on. A sturdy-looking woman spoke, but he couldn't hear her. Was he deaf? A panic struck Caleb and he trashed around trying to touch his ears. The woman pushed him onto the bed carefully avoiding his midsection. Golly, she's strong! Caleb exclaimed in his head. Out loud he said directly, "Let me go!"
He didn't mean to be rude, but in all honesty, he was scared. He didn't know this place. He hadn't been around in civilization for a long time. And, what if she was an enemy and not a friend? Caleb started blacking out and she grabbed a needle out of her apron-like shirt and injected him with something.

Tony sat on a hard rock he shifted on the rock to get more compfy, But it dident work. He felt his bow slung over him and arrows in the cylender tube on his back. He got up and went into the forest. After about a mile of walking he stoped into a clearing. He often came to this clering to be alone. He whent into the shade under a pine tree. He unslung the bow notched a arrow And amed for a bar spot were it was striped of its bark.
There were about a dozen or so off the same thing on the other trees, Witch he made him self, to practec on his bow work. He always tried from diffrent stances. After hiting every mark with in less of two minets he went and gatherd them and layed back down. Then he herd a rustle of leafs, He jumped up and took out a arrow and notched it he turned in a circle slowly. Then came out a bunny. He let out a sigh of relif, thank full that it wasent a grey one. He sat back down and befor he knew it he had fallen asleep under the nice shady pine tree.

Juliet had been sitting up in one of the pine trees in the forest and was basically keeping watch. She was a tad bored but hey this is what she did throughout the day until someone took over her job and she was able to go help hunt or maybe even try and relax. Juliet was quite comfortable in the trees and would be found quite often jumping from tree to tree whenever she felt like it or when she thought she found something.
Looking down now though Juilet could see Tony trying to hunt... or at least he was until he decided to fall asleep. She didn't know if he knew her or if the two of them even really met, she thought she might have hunted with him once but otherwise she had no idea about him.
"Hey you!" She made a slight pause and giggled a bit, "Aren't you supposed to be catchin us dinner?" She smiled as she looked down at him, she wouldn't have been surprised if he couldn't see her.

((Because you have yet to reply to my PM, nikarose, I'm just going to assume you were referring to Leon.))

Leon grumbled under her breath.
"I wish I could, but you've seen our hiding place and I can't have any loose ends." She let out a hearty sigh, wiping the syringe on her shirt.

"That should help with any pain you're feeling... Don't make me tie you down." Suddenly she noticed is glazed expression, and she narrowed her eyes.

"Still dizzy I'm assuming? Happens with blood loss. You're lucky we found you when we did-any more time and you wouldn't have bled enough to make a recovery without a transfusion." Leon scooted his body to make room for herself and sat on the bed, retrieving a bandana from her side. She lightly dabbed it on his forehead, leaning over him and cooing words of comfort, "You're burning up. Bad dream? You need to calm down. You're safe here, I can guarantee that. No one's getting you on my watch. No one's getting anyone." Leon blew air lightly on his forehead, hoping to cool him off a bit.

Being this friendly was rare for Leon. Had it been a different situation, she would have told him to pack up if he continued his screaming. When she was doing medical work however, Leon was in her element. She worked with suck ease and assurance in her methods that anyone would think she had been professionally trained.. Well, maybe professionally trained in a war. Though she had a high understanding what needed to be done, her methods were a bit unorthodox. If she had to inject adrenaline straight into someone's heart for their survival, she wouldn't blink. Leon strives for speed, efficiency, and results. Pain was unimportant in her mind, as long as she saved whoever it was-including herself.

He woke up instently as he heard a voice he looked up and saw a girl in a pine tree. It was hard to see her but he could see her. He mentaly kicked him self for falling asleep. He got up. "Who said i had to hunt, i never heard or got a message from leon telling me to hunt" He picked up his bow and a arrow that had fallen out. He looked back up and thought he saw somthing behind here but only saw darkness. "so what are you doi-" He stoped in the middle of his sentence his face whent white and every nurve turned to fear. A grey one had apperd behind her. "Hey look out!" He notched a arrow and and let the arrow fly. And it struck home into the gray ones heart.

Juliet watched the boy move around. "no one said you had to do anything I just figured you were out her for a reason weren't you?" She giggled and had moved forward. And thats when the boy had seen the grey one appear. Silly girl, that'll teach her to keep her eyes out and not on the forest floor. She m\tried to move out of the way of the arrow and was successful to do that. However the tree limb she had maneuvered onto happened to be a broken one and as she leaned pressure on the branch she heard it crack. Luckily the boy had killed the grey one unfortunately. "Shit. Incoming for a bad landing!" She yelled as the tree limb finally gave into her weight and Juliet came crashing down the tree.
The annoying thing we all learn about pine trees is they have several limbs, in Juliets case none of these limbs were either strong enough or in the right position to catch her. So she got to feel her back smack into about 5 big size limbs and 20 little twigs before she came even close to the bottom of the tree. The only thing that popped into her head however was she hoped she didn't land on Tony. She'd feel really bad especially at the speed she was building.
The fall obviously felt a lot longer than it probably was though.

Caleb wasn't sure how much later it was when he woke again. Oddly, his head seemed more cleared than before. He remembered the scene with the white-aproned figure. At the same time, he remembered a kind voice. He rose purely out of need to stretch his limbs. It was like he was waking up, seven-years-old again, on Saturday morning prepared to eat a healthy bowl of cereal and watch cartoons. His arms rose, but a breath-taking pain rose instead. In his ribs. With a sharp intake of breath, he finished his stretch and exhaled slowly with a hand over his ribs. The whole time, his eyes were closed, hoping that the scene before wasn't going to be the scene he would wake up to again. He never much liked needles...
He knew though, by the feel of the bed, he was in the same place. He remembered the same question as before, but less panicked. What is this place?

Spirit walked though the door to the tent, saying hello to Leon as she sat down on the floor, placing a small basket down before she sat, grabbing a book off the stack to her left. She flipped though the pages, every so often picking up a berry or leaf from the basket and inspecting it. "All of these are safe. Some Bilberry, that's good if we ever have to battle. Some Evening Primrose, which I will have to make into an oil to be effective, but still." By this point, she was more talking to herself than anyone else, but she still lifted her head up like she was talking to Leon. That was when she saw the man was awake "Oh good, you finally got up. If you have any pain, I have some Green Tea leaves, and I even have some cold green tea. I was trying to make some last night, and with just a little water and an hour or so, and ta da. Couldn't heat it though" Spirit knew she was rambling, but- as one of the youngest members of the Set- she wanted to be useful as possible. So she spent all her time collecting herbs for remedies and food, because that was what she could do.
She turned to Leon "I found some Elderberry. If I can find a way to make it into a juice... I guess I can soak it in water for an hour or so or maybe just crush it into some water... then it can help with colds... I think. That's what the book says." She sighed, flipping though the pages of the book in front of her untill she got to the entry for Elderberry. There was a hand-drawn picture of it, and a large amount of text "Used for its antioxidant activity, to lower cholesterol, improve vision, boost the immune system, improve heart health and for coughs, colds, flu, bacterial and viral infections and tonsilitis. I think it will be useful. If I can find a way to extract it"

Tony ran as the girl was falling he nothed another arrow. Now only of i could just... He saw somthing trailing behind he. It was fabrick that much he could tell. He shot at it and the arrow coult the fabric. But it riped it "Danm" It slowed her fall a little. He droped his wepons and ran as fast as he could. He jumped under her as she fell reaching his armes out hoping he could catch her. This better work.

Leon nodded at the girl, the closest to a smile she could muster. Spirit had been with the set long enough that Leon knew she wouldn't take offense to Leon's natural apathetic approach to things, and that's why Leon liked her. Leon didn't have to fake things around her, she could just act normal and Spirit understood Leon's true intentions and emotions. A small smile appeared at the corner of her lips as she shook her head at Spirit, sighing. This girl... What a trooper. Leon couldn't believe that she was hesitant to accept the girl in the beginning.

Leon was tall, toned, and abrasive. Spirit was the exact opposite. She was young, full of energy, and compassionate. Despite her age she was a great help around the Set, and Leon had grown fond of the child. Of course she would never admit that, but Spirit knew. In Leon's rages and when she couldn't help but beat something senseless, Spirit never showed fear. She knew that Leon would never harm her, and she simply waited until her fits passed until she approached her again. Leon had almost vented to Spirit about her brother once. That wasn't going to happen anytime soon, for immediately she shook it off and started acting more distant again. Despite everything however, Spirit's attitude towards Leon never changed. Good kid.

Leon's attention turned towards the boy beside her. He was her age, and she tilted her head to the side at his expression.

"Do you understand where you are, and what happened to you?"

Juliet landed with a thump most likely making Tony fall over. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry." She said as she got up. "Are you ok?" She brushed her self off, some leaves and twigs were in her hair and she managed to get a good amount of bark stuck on her. She tried to get some of the leaves and twigs out while she mentally checked herself over.
*Arms? Check... Head? Check... Legs? Check... Stomach? Sore... Back? Bruised... Memory? Still hangin in there*
At least nothing was extremely wrong with her. She might need to go to the nurse though and get her injection. She had to get a iron and another injection every week in order to obviously keep her iron up and she has a really bad heart. She doesn't like to talk about it much and she keeps it quite personal but as long as she gets her needles she's fine within the hour.
Juliet looked at Tony trying to see if she had hurt him at all or she could help him in anyway.

Tony got up and brushed himself off to his stomach and groan hurt he had felt her elbow dig into it but but a pained smile. "the question is are you ok?" he said and befor she could awnser he started to climb up and took the body of the grey one and let it fall to the floor. He climbed back down. "do you think leon will want this?" He asked the girl as he retrived his arrows and reterned to the girl and the dead body.

Astor held the knife up to the man's neck, its silver blade glistening in the fleeting light, and with a smile, spoke.
'So Mister, you've been following me for quite a while now. Care to tell me what the fuck you're doing?'
The man shook, his eyes quaking with fear, beads of perspiration clinging precariously to his forehead. Finally mustering up the courage to speak, the quivering man responded, 'I..I'm not following you! I swear on my life! Please don't kill me, I have a family, my kids! Please!'
Astor continued to stare into the man's eyes, a polite smile still plastered across his face, 'No, don't worry sir, I won't hurt you. Just tell me why you're following me and I'll let you go, I promise.'
'You..you'll let me go? Really?' A glimmer of hope appeared in the man's eyes, I might just get out of this unscathed he thought, ' Okay, I'll tell everything! Mr Big back in Litra ordered me to follow you and report back to him, that's all, I swear!'
'So you really were spying me, huh?' The smile disappeared from Astor's face, an angry scowl taking its place, 'How many children do you have?'
'Two..chil...children.' The man stuttered, clearly uneasy.
Nodding, Astor continued, 'It'd be a shame if they never got to see their father, wouldn't it?'
The spark of hope in the man's eyes snuffed out, replaced by the flame of frenzied fear, ' But you promised that you'd let me go! You made a motherfucking promise! You lied you -'
He dropped to the ground, dead.

Astor wiped his bloodied blade on the ground and continued on. He was close to finding the Set, so very close...

Leon rolled her eyes at the boy and stood, leaving him in the care of Spirit. She had enough of being friendly for the day, and she decided to leave the Set for a little while. Leon grabbed her pack and swung the bulk of it on her back, sliding her arms through the straps almost mechanically-it was an action she found herself constantly performing. She was an excellent tracker, so she figured she would follow some trails for sport. Patting her side to check for her AK 47 6 inch knife, she nodded to herself and started in the woods. The sun's rays scattered the forest, and specks of light through the trees shone on her face. As she continued, she flicked open her blade and spun it around in her hand, going over kill shots in her head, just in case she were to be attacked. Spontaneously, she decided to head East of her current direction.

Leon found a nice tree with a lower branch, so she dropped her pack on the ground, stabbing the lethal metal into the tree in front of her. Without another thought, her head snapped up to the branch, and she jumped, arms stretching up to catch it. Her fingerless gloves provided extra grip, and she soon found herself hanging a few feet off the ground. Her palms were planted on the opposite side of the branch that she was facing, and Leon began performing a few pull-ups, determination evident on her face. Closing her eyes, Leon focused on the sounds of the forest and her breathing. A rabbit was digging through the foliage a few yards away, searching for its next nutritious meal of berries. A black-capped chickadee was flying overhead, singing songs of seduction to potential mates. The next thing Leon heard was unnerving, however. She heard... A man? Her eyes flew open as she started towards the base of the branch, placing her feet on the trunk and horizontally walking up it until she was safely sitting on a branch. Holding her breath, she listened closer.

"Please don't kill me, I have a family, my kids! Please!" What in hell... Who is that? Leon was distracted by her own thoughts for a few moments, before straining again to hear how things progressed.

"But you promised that you'd let me go! You made a motherfucking promise! You lied you -". The thud and the splitting silence final pushed Leon into action. Whoever fell couldn't have been one of her own, none of them were old enough for children. Regardless of the age, she demanded an explanation of the man's attack. Leon jumped softly to the ground, grabbing her pack and knife swiftly. Very quietly she headed towards the area of distress, holding her breath. The next thing she saw was a tall boy around her age with dark longish hair. She narrowed her eyes.

Friend or foe?

'He was lying, you know,' Astor said as he turned to face the cautious girl standing behind him, 'he's a petty hit man from town. He was probably gonna try and mug me to pay for one of his many addictions.'
The black haired youth then ignored the boyish girl staring at him and returned to ransacking the body of the deceased.
Having completed the macabre frisking, he arose, the fruits of his search in his a hands; a small blade and a few coins. Astor pocketed his findings and turned back to the girl with the piercings, 'You don't look like a mugger, you're way too clean. You a hit man? Who do you work for?'
Astor produced an apple from within the deep recesses of his pocket and took a bite, eyes never leaving the figure in front of him for one second. He didn't trust her, not one bit.

"Bye!" Spirt smiled, walking over to the wooden cabinets that housed her remedies. "Let's see..." She poked her way though the homemade wooden cabinets that stored the remedies that had to be prepared, like her oils, teas, and jams. She only kept a few edible things though- especially the jams, because some of the components of it had to be taken from the city. "Green tea... Ah!" Spirt smiled, taking a small glass cup out of the cupboard. It was one of the only glass cups they had, so it was for Leon's and her use only, so she treasured it. A white-tinted-green liquid floated inside the glass. Spirt walked with the glass over to a sheet of paper from her books that was tacked on the wall- a dosage chart of every herbal remedy she had ever seen. She had to write in a new one from time to time, but mostly it was typed. "I'm assuming its your chest, that seemed to bother you the most when we got in with you... does anything feel broken? I think Leon said she figured one or two of your ribs were... Ah well, I'll just give you a cup and a half. Tea isn't as specific as some other things, so its only a matter of giving to much, as I need to preserve it." Spirit got out a small wooden cup and poured almost the contents of the glass jar in. She walked over to the man and sat on the corner of the makeshift bed "Drink up!" She chirped, holding the cup out to him "This outta help you get all better"

Perking an eyebrow, Leon stood slowly, stepping towards him with the utmost air of calmness surrounding her. He doesn't have the balls. He killed that guy, sure. But he won't touch me. She continued studying him, the silence echoing the spot of their confrontation. A breeze whistled by, the leaves rustling above her causing different spots of light to scatter over his face, giving her a better view. After a few more painful moments with no sounds other than the forest, Leon.

"Quite the judgement to make at a first glance." She replied calmly, spinning her knife in her hand. "Any experienced mugger or assassin knows how to play the role of innocent. Lead the target into a false sense of security before pouncing." Suddenly she stopped the blade's rotation, her eyes flashing back up to him in the same instant.

"So tell me again.." Leon cooed, stepping towards him until her face was just inches from his-holding his gaze with equal animosity. "What makes you believe I'm not like him?" Her head tilted slightly to the right, an antic that she often performed when she was challenging someone or being challenged herself.

Alexandra had been running through the forest for days now and it was beginning to drain her energy. She paused as she saw a small group of teenagers heading in her direction. She quickly looked around and saw a small bush where she crouched down and waited in silence. As the group neared she waited silently with her silver bow and arrow clutched in her hand. She waited a few more seconds before pouncing out of the bushes arrow at the ready.

"No one take another step or I will shoot!" She yelled aiming her arrow at the small group.

(cagedicewolf it can't be a grey one, we just have to pretend it was a shadow)

Juliet watched as Tony climbed the tree to retrieve his arrow. "I'll live to see another day. It wasn't TOO much of a drop" She smiled and laughed looking up at the tall tree. It was a full grown pine tree so it was fairly wide and of a regular height but luckily Juliet had been within the middle of the tree.

"We should head back anyways that way no thinks we got lost or hurt... well broken" She again smiled and half laughed and waited for Tony to get ready to leave.

(Why?)

He climbed back down. "ya i gess so" He started to walk back to the set. He looked back. "well you coming or not?"

"Go back to sleep now" Spirit chided, setting the cup on the ground beside the bed. She walked over to her work area and picked up her basket, emptying the contents into her 'not yet mixed/sorted' area of her cabinet, before she put a few of her books inside, along with a few things she needed to make into different mixes, and walked out the door, and towards the bank of the creek. She began washing off some of the leaves in her basket, singing as she did "Thyme takes time to make it right. Choose what one to use. Archers Gold or Rainbow Falls, mix and mix it up. Mix with rose for a funny smell, use it lone to make you tough enough to pull me from a well." She wasn't really cleaning Thyme, but it was the only song she had. She liked to make up songs, even though her voice was mediocre at best. She was left with only Leon- who she loved, but was a bit to straight-forward, or sometimes by herself, when Leon left and she was healing someone sick. She sang about many things, but mostly her herbs, because really that was all she knew. Her mom and dad had never really cared enough to send her to school or feed her, so she learned how to grow food for herself. She was in no way dumb though, but her talents were used to grow food. Using them for medicines was a bit newer to her, but she was catching on fast. She smiled and put the last of the now-clean leaves into the basket, then immediately frowned when she heard a rustling in the bushes. She knew not to be afraid- it wasn't a gray, and it wouldn't help her to be scared if it was a bigger animal. No- she frowned because things in the woods, especially small things, liked to eat her leaves. A small bunny hopped into the clearing. That was an animal that she loved- and it really didn't bother her if it ate a little bit of the leaves. "Aww. Here little one. Did you lose your mom, your dad?" It was obviously a baby one, and she knew it must be afraid " here you go hun..." She held out a small part of a mint leaf. The bunny came over and nibbled on it, before turning back into the woods.

T.C. was running trough the woods heading after the injured deer. "Shit!" She exclaimed, jumping a fallen log that had seemed to appear just to make this hunt even more difficult. As if that was needed. The buck slipped and fell giving her the edge she needed to finish the hunt.
It was on the small side but not too small, they would eat good for a few nights at least. T.C. thought lifting the buck and putting in on her shoulders. Turning back toward the set silently cursing the deer for running away from the camp and not toward it but at the same time thanking it for slipping.
"Hey guys I have dinner if anyone is hungry." T.C. Called nearing the set.

(Read OOC, Sinkai explains)

Juliet simply smiled and headed towards the direction of the camp. "Alright let's go" She started walking but then turned to him slightly. "It's getting a tad dark out we should hurry back..." She paused for a second then grinned. "Race you back!" She quickly yelled then took off doing what girls do best... Getting a head start.

T.C. grumbled and started cleaning the deer for dinner. "At least he has a good fur." She said while skinning it. They would need new clothes, blankets, shoes, and camouflage if they were to stay here. the antlers might make good weapons also... There is a use for everything. T.C. thought trying to think of ways to make sure they didn't waste anything that might help them survive.
