Kaida woke up to an empty room, uncurling from her ball of safety. She blinked, staring at Alex's empty bed and feeling very alone. She sat up and leaned her back up against the wall, curling her knees to her chest. She could feel the sun coming from the window, but that didn't make her feel any better.
After a few minutes though she stood up and began to pace the room restlessly. She didn't like being caged up like this, though she would deal with it for now... She didn't want to cause any trouble until she had more information, and she figured the only way to get that information was to wait for Alex's return.

Dezzy nodded at the direction of Maria's bed, rolling over to face the wall. As hard as she attempted sleep, it refused to come. She was used to sleeping next to a camp fire with Kaida and Alex near here. Now she didn't know what to do.
---NEXT MORNING---
Her eyes blinked open. She had managed to get an hour of sleep, at least. She sat up, yawning and stretching. Her spine popped back into place from her awkward sleeping position on an uncomfortable bed. She looked over at Maria's bed with a small smile, remembering their 'conversation' last night. (I doubt she'll ever have to worry about calling me sister-in-law... He is way out of my league... a common assassin from the ruined city of Midgar, once lover of one of the most infamous generals of Shinra turned evil, with an Angel? Ha! That would make even the gods roll on the floor laughing!) she started to chuckle, and she couldn't contain herself from laughing harder until she was holding her stomach and tears started falling down her face. A sleepless night always made her a bit slap-happy, but she soon started realizing her laughter was slowly turning to quiet sobs. (Why does that thought make me feel so sad? Do I really love him? Could I really love him? Could he ever love me?)

Alex had been at his work for 10 straight hours, and the bullet wound in his arm hadn't gone away, let alone stopped bleeding. He had torn some of his clothing off and put it around his arm, making it into a sort of bandage. The whistle had gone off, and Alex finished his last tree. He walked silently inside, being escorted by guards. He felt very tired, and his legs could barely carry him any longer.
They reached his room soon after he finished the tree, and he was thrown inside. "Sleep tight, kid." The guard replied. "You did good, and you've earned a day off. But, don't let it go to your head. Day after t'marrah, you'll be back, cuttin' down more trees." Alex let his head hit the floor, and he just lay there, limp, panting desperately for breath.

Maria woke silently. What she awoke to surprised her. She saw Dezzy sitting up, crying. She walked over to her side, and put a hand on her back. "Dezzy?" She asked in an innocent voice. "What's wrong?" Maria could tell something important was very wrong. She felt that it'd be best for her to try and help out, but she didn't know how. "Is there anything I can do to help you?" She was just trying to be the best Angel she could be, just to leave a good mark on their friendship. Dezzy had made a big difference in her own life, and she wouldn't have wanted anything to have happened to her.

Dezzy looked at Maria with a forced smile on her face. She wiped away her tears. "I was just laughing at something and I ended up crying instead, no big deal," she said, standing up and stretching lightly. She let out a sigh. "I wonder if we're ever going to see people... even if it's just more guards. It would certainly be more exciting than this... no offence or anything... I have issues being around just one person for more than a certain amount of time. I get bored, and besides. I wanna know what's going on around here."
She paced back and forth near the door, thinking. She didn't want to give up on Alex, even though she knew it wasn't even a reality.

Kaida had spent all day doing nothing. They had given her a meal at what she assumed was noon without saying anything to her. She had eaten part of it, but she was no longer hungry and was tired of being alone. She had gotten too used to having her friends around her.
She looked up as they threw Alex's body into the room and said something about a day off. She rushed to his side as soon as the man closed the door. "Alex? Alex!" she flipped him onto his back, looking for any injuries. When she saw the bullet wound she unwrapped the makeshift bandage to take a look at it. It wasn't pretty, but then again most bullet wounds weren't. She laid her hands over the wound, attempting to summon up the energy and power to heal him. Nothing but a tiny trickle came, not even enough to heal an insect, let alone a full grown man. "Dammit... if only I could use my powers... Even if I only had my kit..."
She took off the robe that signified her priestesshood, ripping off a long strip off the bottom edge and making a tourniquet for the wound. She put the robe to the side just in case she needed to use it for bandages again. She wrapped the ribbon that held the robe closed around her hair, pulling it into a ponytail. She pulled the rope that kept her shirt together tighter and lifted him up, carrying him to his bed. He was heavier than he looked, but she managed it. Anything for a friend.

Maria left Dezzy to think. She looked out the window. The day was peaceful, and it was very calm. But she saw something she didn't expect. She thought she saw Alex. She gasped and yelled to Dezzy. "DEZZY! ALEX IS OUTSIDE!!!" She looked back, but she didn't see anything. She was so scared. "I'm sorry..." She went back to her bed. Curling up, she cried. "I miss him... so much. And I really don't even know him very well..."
((OOC: Really short, but I can't think of anything.))

Alex woke up on his bed. He jolted up, but his arm stopped him from going any further up. The pain was too much. "Dammit..." He used the wall to sit up. Now, he could see that Kaida had put a better bandage on his arm, and her robe was off. "I just hope you've got some clothes under those robes, Kaida." He said, closing his eyes, and covering them with his hand. "Thanks, anyway." He faced the window, moving towards it, and looking out. The sun was slowly setting. "This day holds too little time left. We should rest." He moved back to his bed, be stayed upright.

Kaida chuckled. "Of course I do. I can't exactly fight in those robes, so I have my warrior priestess training outfit under them," she said, kneeling next to his bed. The sleeves were short, but it was convenient, even when cold. It wasn't exactly cold in the room, but at the same time she felt like she would never be warm again. "Are you okay, Alex? I was worried about you all day! What did they make you do? How did you get that wound? Do you have any other wounds? Did you know you're extremely heavy to pick up? You should consider going on a diet!"
She smiled brightly, trying to add at least a little humor to the whole situation. She sighed, looking at the door and wondering how the other girls were doing. "I hope the other two are okay... They left me alone all day, so I don't think they would have been bothered much, but knowing Dezzy it's probably driving her crazy..."

Damani looked up and ran to look out the window, but she couldn't see him. Her head dropped along with her spirits and she went to sit back on her bed. "At least we know he's alive... I just wonder what he was doing outside... it looks like they're clearing out the trees or something..." she said, letting out a depressed sigh. She missed both him and Kaida a lot. She especially missed him though. she couldn't deny any longer that she loved him, especially when it hurt so much to think of him not with her.

Alex stood up. He felt some pain in his shoulder, but he thought about it for a second. "You're asking too many questions, Kai." He chuckled. "I'll only answer this one: I was shot in the arm by one of the guards. And, I'm gonna answer your last question: Maybe you're just not strong enough to lift me up!" He laughed even more, but it was all silent when the door flew open. A guard was holding Alex's weapons.
"Listen, boy." He began. "The boss wants ta see ya fight against some of are best fighters. He says that if you beat them, you'll go on to fight him. You, girl." He looked to Kaida. "You're gonna watch your boyfriend get obliterated." He smiled, and started dragging them both along. He put Kaida into a seat near the edge of an arena, and threw Alex down into the arena. Throwing down his swords, Alex got ready to fight.

Maria frowned. She wanted to see her brother again. She had almost alrady forgotten what he sounded like. But, she would get her wish when a guard came in and grabbed them by their arms. "Let go of me!" Maria screamed. "You child malester! Leave me alone!"
The guard picked her up by her arm and faced her. "You can stay, OR you can see your brother fight!" Maria's eyes widened and she shut her mouth. Maria eagerly followed him until they got to an arena. She saw Kaida being thrown into a seat, and Alex ready to fight down in the arena. "ALEX!!!" She screamed, hoping her brother would hear her.

Kaida struggled but to no avail. She was sat roughly in the seat and watched in horror as they through Alex down into the arena. "DAMMIT!" she cursed loudly, watching them bring Alex's little sister in. She didn't see Dezzy, but then again they might have just been waiting to bring her in.
She looked back at Alex. "Oh, gods... please help him stay alive," she whispered softly, closing her eyes and beginning to pray for some type of divine intervention.
