Ah! He felt the connection complete –come on red- he said, his thoughts trembling as he showed her a picture of where he was. –On my way- an angry red showed a picture of her sprinting his way. Now Marrisio could not leave the smug look off of his face. “hello.” He said, malice weaved into his voice. “I am Marrisio; I am the hole that was put into a solid being after Red came to this place. It was so nice meeting you.” He mocked them with fake kindness. They didn’t look to please at what he had said to them.

[Sarah]

-Almost here?- he asked, his mind racing to see how many he would be able to take on without his sword. The Werecain’s teeth showed, and their tails swished close to his body. They were definitely getting threatening. “What going on friends?” he asked confused as to the sudden change in behavior. “You have called for her.” the big male growled. “This was not planned; you should not be so connect.” It mumbled a few things that Marrisio didn’t care to catch. “Well, being as I am her, it’s not that shocking.” He said chuckling.

[Sarah]

“You cannot be part of her, you are a male!” the things started growling like they had smelt something dangerous on the wind. “She’s here.” Marrisio said in his creepiest voice turning his head stiffly towards the direction Red was coming. A wicked smile spread across his face as he way Red’s small figure show up on the horizon. Springing faster than he had seen towards the camp. The big male sent out warriors to meet her. “Well, it’s been fun, but it’s time for me to take my leave.” Marrisio said cutting the last of his binds and running quickly to grab his sword. Dodging tails and claws on his way. the female sized him up taking for granted that he was in his human form and assuming that he would be weaker. He killed her in one clean cut of his sword.

[Sarah]

“How sad.” He mumbled moving on the next few. They dropped like flies; honestly Marrisio had thought they would be harder to kill considering what Red had said about them. Maybe it was because he was Red that made it so easy, natural almost to kill them. “Well, it’s nice to see you.” He laughed joining Red and guarding her back as they went through well practiced motions. “You too.” She grunted, swinging her long sword thought the air and bringing it down across one of the bigger males.

[Sarah]

Marrisio shoved the last of the Werecain into the gates of hell, their limp bodies covering the ground in dark red blood. “Gross.” Red said trying to stick to the clean pieces of grass, which was basically impossible, “have we whipped out a whole tribe?” Marrisio huffed trying to catch his breath. “seems like it” Red said, a smile sliding across her face as she looked at him, triumph in her eyes. “Well, we did considerably better than before then.” He sighed, putting his hands on his knees. “What before?” she asked narrowing her eyes. “Oh right, you weren’t there.” He waved her question off promising to tell her later. “Time to get back to camp?” he asked pointing his sword back toward ‘home’. “If camp is still there yes.” Red said grinning like a fool.

[Sarah]

Red was extremely pleased with herself; she had just wiped out a whole tribe of the monsters that ripped her from her family and home. The trek back was quick, and dark. Night had fallen and the stench of blood hung in the air around them. “We’ll need to wash first.” Marrisio sighed after a while. Red nodded, she had passes a small trickle of melt water that they could wash off their clothes in. it was no place for them to bathe, but at least they would be less bloody than they were now. Her skin turned stiff with the dry blood. –how uncomfortable.- she grimaced trying not to puke. She wasn’t squeamish when it came to killing or anything, but she hated blood, the feeling, the metallic small. It grossed her out.

[Sarah]

Walking back in only their undergarments, they both laughed at the stupidity. It was freezing and they decided to take all of their clothes off, and then wash them. They couldn’t put the clothes back on in fear of hypothermia, but it didn’t help that their only other choice was to be almost naked. At least the stream was within sight of the camp which was still in one piece, and seemed to still have a fire burning within it. Running the last of the way they shoved themselves into the warmth, luckily with the way they had set up the trees the heat was not able to escape so it was a scorching eighty degrees ferinheight compared to the thirty it was outside.

[Sarah]

Marrisio hung the clothes near the fire, off of a low hanging branch that they had not cut before the supplies had come. Red smiled still thrilled at the find. But Marrisio was taking a different route with his thinking. –how had they gotten so close? Are there more on the plain? Will we be able to fend them off if they find us? When will back up come on our side? Will we get more supplies?- he knew he should enjoy the night like Red, but he couldn’t what had happened haunted him. Red had warned him it would, the first few times something similar to this happened.

[Sarah]

They arrived at the shelter to find it in one piece. “Guess they didn’t make it this far.” Red said pushing her way inside. Marrisio stayed out looking across the dark horizon. Little orange dots where spread across the plain. “damn.” He said quietly. “You gotta see this.” Red said holding out a note for him to read. ‘So it seems they have found you. I guess that means you can come home now.’ Marrisio smiled a little. “That’s good news.” He said giving the note back to red. He stepped inside, and started to pack. “Might as well leave tonight?” he asked her looking at red worry was light on her face. “What’s wrong?” he asked setting down the backpack.

[Sarah]

“We can’t leave tonight, they are too strong. Can’t you see the sky it’s a full moon.” Red said fear and anger in her voice. She sat down and started to start the fire back up. “We will have to stay for the night and leave first thing in the morning.” Marrisio nodded and sat next to her. “Very well, if it will be safer that way.” he put a few more logs on the fire and curled up in his sleeping bag. “See you in the morning.” He said casting one last look at Red. “goodnight.” She said.
