Andy had slept surprisingly well. She woke to the smell of food cooking and the fire crackling. She lay there a moment longer gathering her bearings. This was not some homeless camp. This was the Labyrinth. And she had slept as if she had known what a monster was. She remembered getting the knife from the old man. Remembered his knowing smile as he told her she'd find it useful. She had thought the knife was strange at the time. It was magical. She could pull it from a bracelet and it would be full in her hand. The metal had been strange, like nothing she had seen before. 

And the monster had almost killed her. She had run but it had knocked her down. She hadn't been fast enough. In the struggle, she had been lucky to get the knife free. Lucky in the stab. She had expected blood but none had come. A cloud of fine dust fell instead. She hadn't known then what that meant. She had tried to find the old man again, but even though she asked around no one knew who she was asking about. She never saw the guy again. But he had known. He had saved her. With that single gift, her whole life had changed. 

She thought of Arthur and his hatred of killing monsters. She wondered if he had had to kill anything since camp. She wondered where he was and what he was doing. Chocolate had come to her. He now lay curled up beside her. His breathing was soft and steady. Andy missed Arthur. She missed camp. She missed her brother. It was a deep sudden ache as she lay there. She curled up tighter around Chocolate. Then stood suddenly and joined her Aunt at the fire. 

Aunt Mads was related to her in a different way. There wasn't much tracking of human lines at Camp. But Mads had proof of it. They were related. It had been unexpected but welcome. It meant she wasn't alone. Even though she knew Mads would soon be taken from her. That thought hurt a lot too. But she knew Arthur and Mads friends would help get her back. That made it okay. 

[color=b71d5d]"Morning."[/color] She said, leaning a little into her Aunt for comfort. Chocolate sitting on her other side.

Niah had had midwatch. The worst of all. But waking up to a full bladder and the knowledge they needed to get going to catch the train pushed her to go to the bathroom. The fuzzy memory of the snakes the night prior clarified as she watched two of them disappear into the vents. Ugh.  

Why couldn't the guy have had a better cage for the snakes? She didn't particularly want to just kill them, two had escaped and she doubted there was any getting them back. She grabbed a towel and shoved it into the hole of the cage. That'd hopefully buy them some time to deal with those. 

The hole in the floor was another matter. The damage that had been done to this hotel room was obscene. [color=0080ff]"We should leave some cash or something as a way of apology. I could probably cover this up again, but I don't know how much good it'll do. We need to decide what to do with the snake things now."[/color] She looked at the other two. [color=0080ff]"We can release them to cause havoc for someone else. Or kill them and send them to Tartus until they reform.[/color] There was no other option. They were not bringing the creatures with them.
