Scardy holds her, trying to stop the bleeding, knowing she can't. "No, sweety, it's gonna be okay. You stopped whatever it was. They are the ones who don't know what they're doing. They're scared, that's all."

*Glares at scardy and says with a cold tone* they're not scared... they know exactly what they are doing... they have no trust, no trust in me... the actual person that resides in these woods, the one that knows the way out, without triggering the witches curse. But they have no faith... and that will lead them into death trap that is Elly. *walks out of the tent and says in a cheery tone* Ok I'll be back everyone! I'm just going to town, I'll be back shortly!

TWEEK marches off to patrol the perimeter of the camp. Let Jerry clean up his own damn tent, he thinks. I'm not his servant.
It was rare to see fog in this part of the county, but tonight there was a strange one. It seemed to move with a purpose, lingering just beyond the camp. A white vapor gliding just off the ground. Rising to form disturbing shapes and then settling back down again.
"And while we sit here toasting marshmallows and singing campfire songs, that poor kid is out there all alone. Maybe dead already..."

Scardy was torn between staying with the men, or following the girl. She decides to go with Jakyle.

"It's nice to see that someone else is thinking about why we came out here in the first place," says Nightfall as he walks up next to TWEEK. His voice is devoid of emotion, his face hidden by the hood of his cloak.

"Anybody want to make some smores?" Jerry looks around and lets out an obnoxious belch. "Damn, some dinner came up with that. Tasted better coming up than it did going down."
He stares at his tent.
"I ain't about to see what the inside of my tent looks like. I think I'll finish the job she started killing herself when she comes back. Who the hell is she anyway?"

*notices scardy close behind her but just keeps walking, she leads her through an arch way of white jasmine, an odd thing to find in the forest, but none the less she keeps walking, turns to scardy* walk through, we'll be safe now... *she turns around and walks the way she came, but instead of landing back at the camp site they end up on the edge of the town, in which they started their journey.* See, I told you! *takes scardy by the hand and runs into the market place, and buys more rashions, hands some to scardy* there, we are safe, but those others will not gain any supplies. *Looks sad* I am their way out, to let you all out, they must all believe. THis will be enough to keep you and I alive... sorry... I really wish I could help your friends but it's not my place to help those with lack of faith. *Walks with scardy to the edge of the forest* I must go, I must try to rescue them... Since you had faith, you have a choice wether you would like to remain here, in the comfort of the township, or you may return to your friends... be warned if you decide to journey on with me back to the others... you may never leave till they believe, and have trust in me. *runs into the woods returning to the campsite and starts roasting ham on the fire*

Jerry looks over at Jakayle and notices her roasting the ham.
"Hey, I want some of that. I's hungry and confections are only good for desert." Looks around to see where Scardy went.
"Where is she?"

Scardy thinks about that for a moment. She wonders if the girlis insane. Still, there is an eery feeling she's forgotten something, something she'd heard that gave warning. However, shesees herfat husband to be tottering towards her in a drunken daze. Runsto the sheriff.

"Oh well . . . If Scardy Poohs dies she dies."
He reaches over and grabs the stick with the ham out of Jakayle's hands.
"This is mines sister. That's what you get for bleeding in my tent. Now get your ass in there and clean that Sh*t up!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He smacks her on the tail and continues to roast his ham.
"What an excellent day for an exorcism."

Silently, Nightfall walks over and swiftly removes the ham from Jerry's grasp. He glares down at him.
"That was uncalled for." he turns and hands the ham to Jakayle.
"I believe this is yours, milady."

"I say her running into my tent and bleeding all over the place was uncalled for."
He snatches back the ham and looks at Nightfall.
"You better start warming up to a new concept around here Nightfall . . . I'm the boss."
He looks over to Jakayle.
"As for you, you best get cleaning if you expect to stay. I don't know what kind of delusions your having, but I need to sleep tonight because tomorrow we start off bright and early. Crack of Dawn . . . So get Crackin"

There is a flash of movement, and Jerry finds the blade of Nightfall's rapier held at his throat. The look in Nightfall's eyes makes it obvious he is not afraid to use the weapon.
"I do not take orders from a chauvinist drunkard." Nightfall's voice is laced with venom, but it never rises, or wavers. "The girl is not your slave. She never has been, and she never will be. Now stop acting like someone died and made you God or I will personally send you to meet the Almighty."

Jerry holds up his hands in a defenceless gesture and smiles an evil grin to let Nightfall know that he wins for now, but this is not over.
"I'm not being a chauvinist . . . She messed up my space acting like a fruit cake and I want it cleaned. Nobody told her a*s to go running in there and start cutting her wrists. How are we ever going to find this brat if were dealing with a nut bag every few minutes."
Jerry grabs Nightfalls hand and slings the blade away from his throat.
"Now back off chief!!!"
He pulls off a piece of cooked ham from the stick and begins chewing looking down at the ground and considering what just took place. What if it were days that they were out here looking? Tempers were already running high and it was only the first night. He turns off the flame on his lantern and closes his eyes. Night swirled around him.

*cringes at Jerry, she knows his strong physique is no match for her, for one she is only 17, for 2 she is basically skin and bone. Her long black hair falls into her face.* J...J...Jerry, do you believe me? How else could I have gotten ham! *She then notices Jerry holding the blade and she screams in terror as she runs over to nightfall. She hugs him tightly as she sobs, not in sadness but in fear. With Scardy gone, he seems to be the only one she can turn too. He seems to be the only one that may believe her*

Nightfall sheathes his rapier, and places his hand on Jakayle's shoulder. His voice is soft, the anger from before now replaced with kindness.
"All I ask is that you know what you are doing. Rituals such as that can often backfire, if the one performing the ritual is careless... Believe me, I have seen the results of such carelessness. Do not think that I am doubting you. You already seem to know what you are doing. It is just that... I do not want to see some... mistakes... repeated."
A grim look passes briefly over Nightfall's face, as though old, unwanted memories are passing before his mind's eye.
He then smiles warmly at the shaking girl. "Calm yourself, and rest. We may have some news of the whereabouts of the child and the other search party by morning. Remember, even the darkest hour is only sixty minutes long."

An object on the ground catches TWEEK's eye and he walks further into the dark woods to inspect it closer. He picks up what appears to be a child's toy. A doll. With a frown he notes that the toy is sticky with a strange blue substance on one side. Blue slime.

The sheriff rolled his eyes at Mister Brown's fiancee. the story she was telling was rediculous. "You want me to believe that some girl lead you out of the woods and the others are in danger from a witch? Look, regardlessof the stories you've heard, there is no witch in the woods!"

*Looks at nightfall, her eyes filling with tears* Nightfall, I do know what I am doing, I am the guardian of these woods. I am out here to protect you from the witch. I only protect those with good intentions, yours are to find the girl. I lead Scardy out of the woods didn't I? I bought you ham... the thing is, you will only prevail if your intention is pure... right now, the witch has the better of you. *Gesures over to Jerry* with him around, grasping your food supply, that is not a good intention. That is why the witch has the girl. I know the whereabouts. Someone does not have good intentions here, which is why I cannot lead you to the girl. As soon as you have finished the quest and your intentions have been proved then you may leave.

Nightfall closes his eyes.
"You're right... Kedward is playing with us like chess pieces..." He looks over at Jerry's sleeping form. "I believe she would even have us to kill one another..." He sighs. "My intentions have always been for the safety of the child... not an argument. I am thankful for all that you have done... especially your protection. I feel, however, that before this night ends, we will need you more than anyone..."

*smiles and bows* that is correct but the witch will not kill you, or the girl. She preys on the mentally weak and uses them like toys, just as you suggested. The one TWEEK discovered was symbolic. Unless there is unity amongst you... *she looks at her feet*

The sun touches the lip of the horizon, like an egg cracking and golden yolk smearing across and through the woods. Though the day is clear, it has become extremely cold during the night. Jerry stirs.
"Damn, I feel like Sh*t! Somebody toss me that canteen. I need some water."
He looks over at the red embers from last nights fire. He thinks about breakfast and sees the half-eaten piece of ham from last night. HOPE THAT GIRL HAS SOME MORE, he thinks. He is still holding the knife he had in his hand last night for protection. He notices that everybody is still asleep and slowly stands.
"Everybody up!!!" He claps his hands a couple of times. "Come on. Move!!! We've gotta' eat and get goin'. Jakayle if you haven't cleaned my tent, you're a dead woman."
He tosses a couple of logs on a space where there is a little bit of flame still burning. He sees his canteen and begins drinking water. I HOPE IT ISN'T FAR TO A STREAM AROUND HERE.

*Glares at Jerry* I'll wash my bloody hands when you start a new life. After all I've done. You still underestimate me! *glares at Jerry once more* I can see you do not respect anyone... for that you will be trapped forever. So will your group thanks to you. Unless you are willing to change!

"What in the hell are you talking about woman? I don't give a f*ck about your hands; I'm talking about my tent."
Jerry looks at her with disdain. "I ain't buyin' this whole production you've got goin'. We're here to find this little b*tch then go back home. None of this hocus pocus crap is gettin' us anywhere. And what the hell are you talking about after all you've done? You bring one piece of ham after you get blood all in my tent . . . If I'm willing to change? Change what?"
He walks around and looks at everybody else who is just getting up and looking at them both.
"You all will really never will get out of here if we keep this thing around."
He points directly at Jakayle. He looks over at Nightfall.
"By the way pal, I ain't playin' romance gentleman either. I am the leader of this search and I suggest we get goin'."
He gets in Jakayle's face.
"That includes you HARLOT! Either you are with us, and you better have cleaned my tent, or you can find your own damn way out of these woods."

Nightfall turns and faces Jerry.
"None of them will follow a spoiled child. Now stop whining, pack your gear and get out of Jakayle's face before she replaces your kidneys with a colony of fire ants."
