    Lily had not had fun last time either and this was not helping her fears. "This is f#cking fantastic." She hissed to herself in fear as she flicked her purole orbs around for some source of light or anything really. She knew Joshncould kill or Alex with ease which made her heart pound in her chest rapidly.


    Chris stared at her house a bit before looking away from it. "Stop worrying it's fine." He said mlving to close any curtains on windows that looked over to Alex's house trying to tell himsefl it was fine.

    Alex muttered something under her breath as she reached a hand up to run through her hair as another nervous habit of hers.


    Matt stayed a few moments before instead turning to go back to his own place, lips pressed together.


    //I've noticed we're kinda just roleplaying alone now xD so erm... We could skip that couple weeks or something, or if you had other ideas for the time in between ^^

    Yeah sure))


    Lily had been down in the mines for a good three weeks now and she was sure her body was starting to eat its self. The human body can go hree weeks without food and this was the thrid week and she was really feeling it now. "It's goinfnto be just fine." She told herself haveing developed the habit of talking to herself to try and can sane. She had a few run ins with Josh but manged to escape him with a few scrapes and bruises to add to her collection of injuries.


    Chris was was surprised he hadn't died from worry yet Lily and Alex had been put up as missing since last week since it appeared they disappeared off the fafe of the earth for now. He cried when he first found out they were missing because his mind went to worse case scenario and that she was dead he was never going to see her again. So as a result to thst he stayed home and did nothing bjt watch the news for any sign or details that could led him to Alex.

    Alex swallowed a lump in her throat as she nervously tapped her foot, silent as she sat somewhere off in the mines. She hadn't had anything in awhile, and she was sure that her body was starting to eat itself. She subconsciously found herself eyeing a couple bodies she came across a few times before and it was starting to get... Tempting. She'd unfortunately found out Ashley's fate when she came across her, and her body wasn't all too far off from where she currently was.


    Matt hadn't really got much sleep, as noticed by the bags under his eyes, starting the moment the two were put off as missing, and yet no luck at finding either of them yet... His worry for Lily was heavy, he'd even been tempted to go after her himself. He currently sat on his couch, gaze on the screen as the news played.

    Lily came up on a aprt that seemed familiar to her but by now she couldn't tell any more. "Please tell me here is food here." She said her purole orbs looking around she looked like she was going to pass out not being able to sleep to scared Josh would find her. When she looked around the corner she fringed at the sight of many dead bodies that lay spread out out across the ground it really didn't heppnher hunger.


    Chris watched the news to see if anything was going to pop on them. "After the incident on the mountain do you think they went back there?" The male reporter said looking over to the female next to him who sighed. "The police are investigating that possibility." Chris froze a bit at that he relaly hoped that they didn't go back to that place but deep down somethign told him they did.

    Alex hugged her legs, gaze flickering over to the familiar body as she really did consider it a moment... She would die otherwise, the only wendigo thing wasn't even crossing her mind. Her lack of sleep and anything of consumption didn't allow her to think straight as she was moving to stand, hesitantly taking steps toward the body.


    Matt's body tensed, both from the thought of that... And it was a highly likely possibility. But god, he really hoped not. It wasn't safe and he really feared that the vision on the totem could still come true, even in different circumstances.

    Lily dtared at the corpses she could feel she hunger bubbling over as she tried to resist the urge. "No Lily don't do it it's wrong." She said walking over tonthe bodies purple ords trained on the flesh thst looked eat able in her starvation. "But we need to survive Lily." She was now having a conversation with herself which probably wasn't a good sign at all. "Eating humans is wrong." She tried to convince herself and tore her gaze from the body.


    Chris had zoned out not listening to what they had to sya any more fearing the worse. He knew Josh might have been out here. "Oh god." He stood up from his place on the couch and paced around. He was terrified that Josh was alive and had turned into a wendigo that was now hunting Alex as he sat here it almsot made him anger but it didn't since he was to worried to feel anything else really.

    Alex knew it was wrong, but she couldn't help herself - she was just... so hungry and she felt weak. She was having a mental battle with herself and would heavily regret it later, but this was now. As she made it to the body, she planted herself onto her knees, "I'm sorry..." She murmur as tears pricked her eyes before she was moving to bring the body closer, partially in her lap.


    Matt suddenly turned the TV off as he didn't want to hear more, suddenly standing as he'd give a wavering sigh. If that really was where she went - he was upset, that she hadn't told him... but more so that she might not come back.

    Lily argued with herself before she crumbled not being able to hold back. "Well a tiny bit won't hurt." She said sitting cross legged in front one of the bodies. "Yeah just a bit." She told herslef and pulled the body closer and took a deep breath. She was really going to wat human flesh earlier hst would have never forssed her mind but now she didn't care. "Plus their dead already it won't matter." She told herself taking another depe breath and letting it go.


    Chris started to wonder why she wouldn't tell him where she was going. Didn't she trust him when the thought of her not trusting her crossed his mind it stung a bit. He ran a hand through his blonde hair trying to calm himself down knowinf panicking wasn't going to help but he had no way of knowing for sure hat she had gone up to the mountain.

    Alex still hesitated, "She... She's already dead... She'd want to help..." She tried to convince herself, several moments later was when she finally went through with it. It tasted awful, but she was hungry enough to continue.


    Matt really was considering going up himself to check, just in case she really had gone up there.. he'd be fine once she was back, until then... The worry and anxiety was practically killing him.

    Lily moved articles of clothing away and started eating in her starving state she didn't care how it tasted. She kept telling ehr self they were desd snd it didn't matter as she continued to eat the persons arm.


    Chris knew she should go check it out so she left his hosue and went over to hers. He knocked on the door and her mother opened the door she ahd been there while Alex was missing to make sure everything inside would be okay. "Hi miss can I come in." He asked trying to sct nromal her mother nodded and elt Chris come inside. He instantly went to Alex's room to search for any sign she went up to the mountian he hoped she didn't.

    After awhile, Alex was finally scooting back, leaving the body there as she'd apologize again, barely acknowledging the blood that stuck around her mouth from the 'meal' as tears would instead begin to leave her eyes.


    The only clue would be the crumbled up drawing she'd never completely gotten rid of, as she had stuck it under her pillow and left it there.


    Matt suddenly moved to shove his phone in his pocket after slipping his jacket over his shoulders, leaving his house and instead moving toward Lily's. Maybe she had left something behind that could tell him.
