Eve's body was rigid with the tension of the moment. Her muscles were so tight she thought they might pop. Her teeth were clamped down hard around the flashlight. When Blake touched her, she jumped a little, her ponytail swinging as she spun to look at him. "You have some amazing talent with that thing. But we still need Samara and Mike." She bit her lip at the compliment, a silent prayer to her husband going up. Yes, he had been a good teacher; and she had always been a quick learner. "I'll give you the light sources girls, you carve our way to Samara if you have to ok? Then we find Mike..." Eve was about to nod, easing the tension from her jaw, but then Blake hadn't waited for a response and he was pulling the torch from her mouth quickly enough. She felt a slight panic rise in her stomach, but her fingers grazed the soft feather on the arrow in her hand and she pushed the terror back down. The woman felt some concern when the other male in their party still did not answer Blake's calls. Something had to be wrong.

Blake was on the move once more and Eve stayed close to both him and Nicole, her own body brushing both of theirs. He had stopped, and told them not to look down. You never tell someone not to look down. Of course she did, and the sight was horrifying. It was made all the worse when the man's body was pulled away and the sounds of the Nightcrawlers eating could be heard. Bile rose in Eve's throat and she doubled over for a moment, throwing up. But there was no time to waste now. "Nicole and Eve, you need to keep your guard up, Samara keep your torch to our back and I'll keep mine to the front... Lismoore is less than ten minutes away... Lets go, we'll talk when we're in the local hotel."

Finally they had reached Samara and they were taking off again. Basically running to Lismoore. Eve was the last one in the door of the hotel and she slammed it shut behind her, moving aside and leaning her back up against the wall. She closed her eyes, ignoring the stares of the townsfolk around her. Silent tears slid down her cheeks. Were they tears for Mike? Tears for the people of the town they had left behind? Perhaps they were just tears for those who remained alive in this hellish darkness. She couldn't be sure.

The sound of Nicole's voice in front of her brought her thoughts back to the present and she opened her eyes to look at the raider woman. Her gaze slid down to the arrows that Nicole held out and she reached up to run her fingertips along one of the smooth shafts. "I… only have a few of my own left. Thank you," she said quietly. She pulled her own quiver off and took the new arrows, sliding them in carefully. Her eyes slid back up to the other woman as she put the quiver back into its place on her back. "My husband taught me…" Would that I had been able use these skills to save him, she thought. "We need to stick together," she said in a quiet but firm voice. "That's the only way we'll make it." Eve offered Nicole a weak smile and a small shrug, slowly sinking back into becoming the quiet, timid woman that she had been before.
