A woman wandered the Wild, she had gotten up as the sun had peeked over the horizon, something she had done ever since she escaped her captors. She didn't want to be caught once again, she knew this, all of them knew this fact. She stopped and bent down, picking up small oddly shaped pebble and pocketing it, deciding to add it to the collection of things she had found already. She looked around, her dull green eyes determining which way she should go, "Let's keep going straight, it's safer that way." she spoke. [color=ed1c24]"We could do that, I'd rather not run into someone else..."[/color] a quiet and timid voice came from her afterwards. It appeared this woman was talking to herself, [color=8882be]"Oh shut up, Amanda! Stop being a chicken shit and grow a pair! I say we go in a random direction and find someone to kill! It's survival of the fittest out here, right? Sure we'll find someone we can kill and rob for stuff! Not to mention they might make a great meal afterwards!"[/color] a deeper voice came from the woman, this one seemed to be more like a dominant male; perhaps a violent one at that. The woman grinned at the idea, [color=fff79a]"I like the way you think, Steven. I mean, we haven't had a decent thing to eat since we got out of that place. I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm craving some meat, and human flesh is all we can manage to get at the moment. So I vote for going off in a random direction to find us someone to kill."[/color] another female voice said. This voice was calm and collected, this personality was clearly the leader of the group, if not close to being it.

[color=8882be]"I agree with Claire, we need to survive out here, and if we let her keep doing this every day, we'll starve and [i]become[/i] food ourselves! Personally, I would rather keep on living, opposed to the alternative. All in favor of letting Claire take the lead on this one? You know where I stand."[/color] Steven said. "W-wait! No! You can't do this! I-I'm in charge! This is m-my body! You can't just decide among yourselves to use it!" the woman exclaimed, clearly disapproving this course of action. [color=ed1c24]"I don't think we should do this, guys, she doesn't want to go along with your plan. Neither do I."[/color] Amanda said, defending her friend. Suddenly the rock was used and smashed against the woman's leg, [color=fff79a]"That's enough out of you, my dear. Now, Sythi, do I need to do the same to you? Or will you cooperate with me?"[/color] Claire asked. There was silence before the rock switched hands, [color=fff79a]"A very wise choice. Now, where should we head? Any suggestions Steven?"[/color] she asked. The woman looked around and pointed to the southeast, [color=8882be]"I suggest this way, I have a feeling something good will happen if we go in that direction."[/color] he replied. The woman nodded as her arm lowered, [color=fff79a]"Then it's decided, we go this way."[/color] Claire agreed. Compared to what the woman was like minutes ago, she now stood straight up and walked with confidence and without fear; if anything, she should be the one that was feared now.
