"Nyx, please stop pacing, you're making everyone nervous," Sabine scolded the woman from the back of the cave. Since they had gotten there, the white haired woman had just been pacing back and forth at the cave's mouth.

The water woman waved a dismissive hand towards the other as she said, "They've been gone for too long. They should be back by now." She had one hand wrapped around her bare stomach, the elbow of her other arm propped on it as she worriedly bit at one of her fingers.

A third voice spoke up, echoing slightly at first as she said, "Everyone's getting camp set up. Other than our newest members, everyone seems to be doing just fine." Behind Noah was just darkness, but if one traveled through the winding tunnels for a few minutes, a dull fire was going and people were tossing blankets on the ground. The stronger ones managed to snag a couple cots and a few sleeping bags were saved, but nowhere near as many as they had before.

Sabine's sharp eyes fell to the other woman as she said, "Good, now take care of that thing." Noah looked from the blonde to Nyx and tilted her head to the side. "Couldn't you just sing to calm her down?" The woman scoffed at the thought saying, "I wouldn't waste my breath on such needless worrying."

That remark brought a glare to Nyx's face as those blue eyes locked on the other woman. "It is not needless! What if they don't come back?! Those two stayed, sacrificing themselves so that we could get away!"

The blonde side, shaking her head and massaging her temples. "Then why don't you go, take a few people, and look for them, hmm?" She then added under her breath so the others wouldn't hear, "They could've just gotten lost from your shoddy directions."

"Fine, I will," Nyx retorted as she passed the other two women and into the depths of the cave. Moments later she emerged with Lydia and Reggie; one to help carry and one to heal, if they needed it. "We'll be back with Eleanor and Melik." The water woman then ventured out into the darkness; snow had started to fall as they were making their way towards the cave originally. If they were lucky, the worst of it would wait until they were back again.

Nyx didn't cover herself like the others, with what limited outerwear they had. The cold never seemed to bother her, though it could have been due to the fact that they were having a very damp winter and the sheer amount of power that kept her with was enough to sustain her warmth.

The three walked for sometime, at least 20 minutes at that point and that was when Reggie decided to speak up. "Shouldn't we have found 'em already?" But Nyx shook her head saying, "I don't think they made it this far. We have to get to the sewer system first."

Then again the group traveled in silence. Nyx led them towards a steep hill, one with a narrow walk way that then fell for who know how long for in the moonless night sky, it was pitch black.

Picking up the pace, the water woman started running; they must have been close. She quickly rounded the corner and was about to start yelling for the two when she nearly collided with Melik, whom was watching over Eleanor.

"Oh, thank goodness," the woman breathed in relief as she wrapped her arms around the red head. As she pulled away, her eyes fell upon the brunette and she fell to her knees beside Lydia. "What happened to her Melik?! Is she ok?"

Lydia replied first, reassuring the woman. "Nyx, she's ok, she's just sleeping."

Nyx's blue orbs then fell upon the male again. "What happened up there?"
