       He can’t tell how long he’s been out there and honestly, he’s not even
       entirely sure he’s  going  in  the  right  direction,  but  he  has  a  good
       enough  hunch  to  give  him  confidence  to  keep  going.   He  trusts
       himself  that  he knows her well enough to proceed through the brush
       of the forest and thankfully the trust he  has  in  himself  leads  him  to
       the right place.

       Immediately,  he  knows  what  her  purpose is and it doesn’t surprise
       him at all.  In  many  aspects,  they’re very similar. Both people with a
       strong  enough   moral  code  that  will  cause  them  to  make  brash
       decisions simply to protect what they love the most.  In this case, it’s
       people.  People  who  they’ve  shared so many experiences with that
       it’s humanly impossible to just let someone take them away so easily.

       He  steps  toward  her,   breath  heavy  and  legs  sore  from  trekking
       through the harsh paths for so long.

        A laugh.

      ❛ Y’know… I’ve never been that great at following directions. You can
        try  to  stop  me  all  you  want,  but I’m just as stubborn as you are. I
        think for both of our sakes, you should just let me help for once. ❜

    He’s laughing? Maybe it’s the relief that he found  her,  not  that  he’d  
    had to look much for her.  She  shakes  her  head,  she  doesn’t  want 
    him here. He could get hurt, or drag her  behind,  she  couldn’t  afford 
    to have either happen. With her hands on her hips & an eager look on 
    her face, she began to figure out what she could do to  lose  him.  He 
    wasn’t going to leave, he was stubborn, much like her. A huff & she’s
    turning on her heels & heading straight for the woods again. This time
    she’s not running from him. 

    ❝ I think for your sake, you should leave. This is dangerous, Alex. This
    could get you killed… ❞

    She moves cautiously through the woods, ready for  anything  thrown  
    her way. She doesn’t want to discuss it anymore, she’s made it  clear 
    that he shouldn’t be here, that she should do this alone. The rustle  in 
    the woods is what startles her, causes  her  to  stop  in  her  tracks  &
    raise her  weapon.  She  can  hear  voices  from  the  trees,  whispers 
    in the night. She doesn’t have much time to think before she  notices 
    they’re saviours. She  reaches  for  Alex’s  arm  &  drags  him  behind 
    some trees, praying they  hadn’t  spotted  them.  She  could  not  get
    caught now. 

    Andrea peers out from where she’s hidden, watching as they continue
    to talk & pass them by slowly. She looks to Alex  &  for  the  first  time,
    fear can be seen within her eyes. She’s scared, she’s actually  scared. 

    ❝ What do we do? ❞
