In the end, whether they would succeed,
Was fueled by both bravery and need.

'We've been out here for ages, surely somebody's found them by now!'
'They've been out here for even longer, and this forest's quite large - Besides, they might have tried to get back to camp'
'And what if they didn't make it?!'

Nathan stopped in his tracks and crossed his arms, turning to the Canadian who had paused a few seconds before with a defiant expression on his face. His brown eyes told a different story though, as they were full of worry and fear 'Nathan, I know you think I'm overreacting, but's she's my little Sister. It's my job to look after her, and for all we know she may have been attacked, or could even be bleeding out as we-'
'I understand what you're feeling Prince Robert, but panicking isn't going to get us anywhere. You can smite me after we find your Sister, yet I'm going to say it anyway; You're not helping anyone by acting like this, so grow a pair, snap out of it and help her!' The once-mute brunette snapped, vibrant green eyes flashing with annoyance while the Prince's jaw dropped. He'd never been told what to do like that before, and it seemed to work as he straightened up and nodded 'Alright, let's go - And I won't smite you, because whatever you did actually worked'

'What can I say? I had to learn to keep Amelia from doing things that could get her killed'
'You talk to my Sister like that?!'
'Uh - No?'

Meanwhile.

'Sorry about leaving you all so suddenly, by the way. Me and Jerome needed to find Jason, but we accidentally let him hear what being executed really meant and... It got pretty weird from there' Amelia explained vaguely, staying close to Preston and Noah while Lachlan and Vik took the lead.
'It's okay, just tell us where you're going next time. Rob was really worried about you - Once he heard your scream, he basically ignored all of us until we agreed to look for you, which wasn't exactly the best idea for him to go as he's got a massive gash in his leg'
'Hold on, what did you just say?' Noah looked away and coughed awkwardly, looking everywhere except back to the girl who narrowed her eyes at the teenager suspiciously 'Noah, what happened while I was away?'

'Not much, just your Brother being more stubborn than usual and insisting that you could possibly be dying as we spoke,' Vik piped up from the front, occasionally twitching as he looked around the forest, 'We tried to convince him not to go, but you know Rob'
'Damn, I'm going to have to talk with him after this... Has anything else happened that I should know of?'. The rest of the group shook their heads, falling into a silence as they manouvered through the forest.

Of course, the silence didn't last long 'So, Preston; What happened to you?'

'Vik, what are you- NO!'

The surrounding area collapsed into shadows.
