Blade held his arms over his chest and curled in on himself as he laid on his side by the waters edge."I-I-c-c-closed-ma-my-eyes-ta-ta-to-s-s-swim-a-and-go-got-st-stuck-in-a-an-an-under-gra-ground-ca-cave-"He shivered out his lungs burning and his body all of a sudden freezing.He looked up at her his eyes lost and pained...

Arathas's eyes stung with tears afraid of loosing him.'Ugh..blade..'She whispered remebering how they first met and how quickly everything went.She pulled him close to her sharing her body heat hoping to warm him up atleast a little bit.Her lips stayed into a firm line,she didn't want to loose blade,she wouldn't be able to bare it and at this point it seemed like she was.Arathas gulped back the tears and held onto Blade.

Blade felt the sting of her heat against his body and leaned towards her.He shook against her from the cold and held his arms over his chest.He looked at her trying not to let the pain escape them and let the love he felt for he shine through.He saw the unshed tears in her eyes and his hand automatically raised and to stroke her cheek."I-I'm s-s-sorry..."He said if he had been in a right mind when he swam back over here.He then closed his eyes and let his cold body lean against hers.He then thought about the cold water against his clothes and tried to pull away but was to weak."I-I-I-d-don-don't-wa-wanna-ga-ge-get-ya-you-c-co-cold-o-or-w-wet..."He chocked out his voice barely audible.

Arathas shook her head and ran her hand threw his hair holding him close to her.'No its fine...Shh..'Arathas said softly as she pressed her body against his.She wouldn't let him go.Arathas wasn't cold at all,infact she was very warm.Arathas hair ran down her back and as she felt his finger tips brush against her cheek she sighed softly.She didn't say a word but held him against her keeping him warm.

Blade nodded slightly lacing his cold fingers with hers.His lungs still burned as he felt the warmth of her just barely start to warm him up.He knew that he wouldn't be able to warm if he didn't dry.He looked at the fire behind her but didn't try knowing he wouldn't be able to get over there.He rested his lifeless body on her's his head cradled onto her neck softly.He didn't know if he would be able to make it through this...but the hope and love he felt from her had to pull him through this right??

Arathas sighed softly staring back out at the waterfall.'Are you able to walk?...Or do you want to stay here a little longer?...'Arathas asked softly gently rubing his back and resting the side of her head ontop of his as he laid his head against her neck.She closed her eyes and silently listened to his breathing.He would make it,she just had the sense he would and knew.Arathas softly kissed the top of his head and kept holding him tightly not wanting to let him go.

"I-I-I-thi-think-I-c-can...."Blade said his voice barely if any better.He slowly unraveled himself from her opening his eyes and then gently sliding off of her.He was surprised when he felt the blast of cool air hit him.He stayed on his hands and knees for a minute and then moved to kneeling."I-I-think-I'm go-nna need- your-he-help...."He said his voice get slightly better.He gulped as his body shook still.He looked at his hands seeing a soft blue tint and knew his lips were way darker than that...He hadn't wanted to leave her arms but needed the fire...He closed his eyes for a split second in complete horror.This was all his fault..He shook the thoughts off something to look on later not now...He looked up at Arathas his eyes full of tears of pain....

Arathas sighed and let him go slowly.She jumped up when he fell and quickly ran to his side and grabed one of arms and wraped it around her neck slowly helping him up.'Its okay...I got you.'Arathas whispered softly as they made there way to the entrance of the water fall but she took the dry way and more steady way to get inside.

Blade leaned lightly against her there wasn't much else he could do to help...but let her take him up to the cave.He walked slowly trying not to slip because of the water that dripped off of his undergarments.He tried to hold back the shakes so he wouldn't slip...he hadn't slid yet and hoped he didn't.Knowing he would give up and just stay where he had fallen...His hand gently lay limp onto her shoulder as they walked he thought he might have hit it on something when he had been in a haste to get up here...

Arathas never realised how heavy he was but she pushed forward until they reached the cave.It didn't take long concidering she was concentrating so hard just to get to this place.She laid him down beside the fire and sat beside him for a moment.'Hold on..'Arathas whispering softly as she got one of the towels they had and wraped it around him.Arathas sat down beside him close to the fire.

Anidori watched as they entered the cave unmoving and didn't ask questions.She was abit too tired and would ask them what happend tomorrow morning when she was fully awake.Anidori looked over to brainard.'Night..'She whispered as she got up and curled up in one of the sleeping bags and drifted off to sleep.

"Th-thank-you..."Blade whispered softly as he let his eyes gently flutter closed.His body still shook but there was nothing he could do...He curled in on himself again and let the towel absorb the fire's heat and start to warm him up...He heard Anidori's voice directed at Brainard but didn't open his eyes to see her or him...He held his jaw tight not letting his teeth chatter.He was so weak...but the thing was his emotions were drifting away.He sighed softly and regretted it when he pulled in a breath that stung and burned all the way down...

Arathas sighed softly and stood up.There was nothing more she could do.She slowly got up and brought over two sleeping bags.If hes going to get dry,he might aswell go to sleep,no?Arathas laid her sleeping bag down behind his but a few feet away to give him some space or if he needed her.She curled up in her sleeping bags unaware of how cold her body felt.

Blade heard rustling and opened his eyes tiredly to look at her.He then closed his eyes not feeling anything anymore...He let his breathing start to go back to normal as the warmth started to take him back over...but his temperature wouldn't feel normal till morning...if he could sleep.The shaking of his body would keep him up for awhile longer as his temp went back up."I-I love you Arathas..."He said making his voice sturdy and let a certain warmth fill it that hadn't been there since earlier...

Arathas smiled as her eyes fluttered open from his words.She quietly got up,wanting to be curled up against him but unaware of him prefering to be alone or not...it seemed she couldn't stay away,no matter how hard she tried.Arathas brought her sleeping bag abit closer to his,a few inches away.She was turned to face him but she kept her eyes closed and stayed curled up under the blanket.'I Love You Too Blade...'Arathas whispered softly with a faint smile still pressed against her lips.

Blade let a soft smile return to his lips one that hadn't been seen for a long time as his body stopped shaking heavily for once.He opened his eyes slowly to see her and smiled noticing she came closer.He'd move his sleeping bag towards hers but didn't know if she wanted him to be any closer to her or not...His body was still slightly shaking but not enough that it would keep him up...and he was so tired from it all.He let his thoughts drift away...back to when the world only carried two people...him and Arathas.As he fell asleep a soft smile stayed on his lips as his thoughts turned into dreams.Dreams that recreated the moment from before.

Arathas jolted up as her surroundings took full affect on her.One moment it was a beautiful dream the next moment it was a nightmare.Her heart was throbing from beating so fast it was about to beat out of her chest.She looked over and saw blade sound asleep.She smiled softly suddenly feeling comfert just by his prescence being near her.Arathas softly kissed his ear and stood up and started puting her armor back on.She wanted to see the other camp and find out who that was.

A smile spread across Blade's lips as he felt Arathas's lips against his ear softly but he didn't wake.The exaughstion had been enough to keep him asleep for a long time.His body didn't shake but to the touch was still slightly cold.He pulled the sleeping bag around him tighter and rolled slightly.He sighed in his sleep contentedly but this dream was turning in the wrong direction...His dream started to turn into memories...memories he had never shared with anyone and would never...

((This kinda sux since my rp partners left...))

Aleck woke up and sighed as he looked over at his horse and the sleeping girls. He really had nothing to do and quietly went over to his horse and watched him sleep. In the dark, Abel really DID look a bit scary, but Able was very gentle, and it made Aleck chuckle at the thought that Tempy was scared of Able.

((Thats why you got us,haha.<3))
Arathas smiled and gave her horse a ill-be-right-back glance as she ran along the ledge.Yes it was a bad idea but she didn't care.Curiousity was taking over and she wanted to see who this was.Arathas turned outside,it was still dark.'What a surprise..'Arathas thought to herself as she started making her way into the woods and towards where the smoke was faintly in the air.

((Yay, thanks! ^_^ ))

Aleck walked to lay down in the middle of the campsite and began to look up at the stars.
"There's Hydra...." he whispered to himself as he traced Hydra's constellation in the sky. He really liked looking at the sky weather it was morning or nighttime, he always found relaxation in the sky. He suddenly sighed and frowned a little.
"I wish it was raining...." he whispered as he continued to trace other constellations in the sky.

The leafs crunched beneath Arathas feet as she walked threw.She kept her sword on her hip and clutched its helt tightly.Slightly afraid of what was to come she kept walking threw the leafs.She looked ahead and saw a man who didn't even measure up to the ones from before.Suddenly interested she got closer to the camp but remained in the shadows.'Hello.'Arathas said as she steped out of the shadows with her hands in the air to show she meant no harm.

<uh...i'm not gonna post again till Arathas comes back...if she does XP>

((You could always get up...xD But okay..))

Aleck looked up at the stars and then sat up quickly as he heard a female voice.
"Huh? who's there?!" he asked the female that had entered the campsite. He stood up and noticed that she meant no harm, but he was still very cautious and looked at the female.
"Who are you?" he asked.

Arathas chuckled.'My name is Arathas,and you are?'She asked in a very calm tone as she steped up only a few feet away.She soon returned her hands down her sides and started the boy.'By the way...are you on search for the princess?'Arathas asked in a innocent tone.She wanted to find out what this guy was up to and soon.He always seemed to be on there trail but if she wanted everyone could get rounded up now and leave.
