[center][h3]Jade Stone | Slippery Slope Down [/h3][/center]

The night had become a blur after having her private talk with Sano. Jade had shared some things with the young man that she could've kept to herself in order to not cause any drama. Really, she could've kept it all to herself. There was no need to share private details, yet she still did it, and even Sano happened to tell her more of himself than he should have. It made Jade wonder why. Why she would even care enough to talk about herself. This made the girl lay in her bed, her back to everyone, as she stared at the wall. Her eyes might have been staring at the wooden wall, but her mind had flashed back to her asking Sano to go with her to the bonfire. She recalled him accepting, only to see if there were any important details being shared amongst the cadets, before getting up and walking with her outside. It caused two confused, yet mischievous looks from from Mora and Lauren, and one huge grin on Olivia's face, but Jade was able to ignore the three as she and Sano walked up to the group. As they neared, a veteran that Jade had never sen before approached them with a couple of mugs, to which Jade refused. Unfortunately for everyone, the veteran was already a bit past the line of no return in regards to drinking alcohol, and he only pressed further for Jade to take the cup. [b]"What's wrong with you?! Don't you know how to have a little fun? Everyone else is doing it!"[/b] Jade's eyes had widened at the man's words, and she turned to look at everyone with tankards in their hands, full of whatever liquid it had in it. Something inside of the young girl was triggered and she turned to the man, her eyes shooting a million and one daggers at him. She had quickly grabbed the cup and chucked it far away from the group, into a cliff's abyss. "No means fucking no. Only the weak need to drink this." Her words had been spat out with venom, and she could see that the man had become both angered and ashamed. With a quick look around the fire at the others, Jade had stormed off into the cabin where she now found herself waking up. 

Her cheeks turned a bring red as she remembered the embarrassing encounter. She, in no way, wanted to make a scene. A long sigh escaped her as she pushed last night's events away. As she began to hear shuffling amongst the cabins, Jade followed along and got up, getting ready for their trek down. 

Although it never took Jade more than three minutes to get ready, that morning it seemed to have taken her thirty. She was clearly in her own state of mind and had been slow and sluggish in her movements. What exactly was going on with her, she didn't know. Before stepping out into the outdoors, Jade quickly pulled up her hair into a ponytail. Walking out, it was strangely warm, compared to the day before. She didn't like the feeling of it. The sun was beating down but the temperature was still cold enough to have them using the winter gear, but that only made her a bit sweaty. It just didn't feel right to her. 

Jade's green eyes scanned the open area in front of their cabins and spotted all those whom were ready to go. Lauren and Mora were together, as always, which caused Jade to frown just a bit. They hadn't tried to wake her up? She couldn't really blame them though, it wasn't their job in any way. Instead of joining them, Jade decided to begin moving towards the way they had arrived to the cabins. Snow had clearly melted just enough for the tops of some rocks to peek through the white. It made the small girl a bit nervous. She knew how clumsy she could be, and knowing her, she'd most likely find herself tripping and rolling down the mountain. Still, she moved on, testing out how deep the snow was this time around and making sure that her boots were strapped tight enough to not fail her on the hike.
