"They should be back by now," Eddie said, sitting in the darkness watching the woods. "Where are they!?"

"Relax," Leo replied, shining his flashlight into the woods. "It was probably too late for them to come back so they're just making camp for the night or something," He huddled closer to the fire they had managed to start. "Relax,"

"How!?" Eddie stood up and paced back and forth in front of Leo. "How can I possibly relax when Sophia's out there and I have no way of knowing if she's okay!"

Leo laughed a little. "Oh, so you're just throwing the other two to the wolves," Leo chuckled and threw some more dry leaves onto the fire. Eddie looked at him with an annoyed look. "Relax, I'm just kidding." He poked at the fire with a stick, causing it to spark.

"Yeah but you get the point, we're on a weird planet and we have no clue what's out there-" He cut himself off and ran a finger through his hair, orange light reflecting on his face. "I'm just. . . worried?" Eddie replied hesitantly, sitting on the log next to Leo.

"He finally admits it," Leo said, patting him rather harshly on the back. Eddie gave him a look of confusion. "You care about her, a lot. . ." Eddie sighed and mumbled out a quiet. "Yeah," And Leo smiled. "I knew it, it's good that she has someone in times like this, someone to make her happy." He looked Eddie dead in the eye. "It's good that you have that too,"

Leo stood up abruptly and hoisted Eddie up beside him. "Come on, let's get some sleep, I guarantee we'll look for them first thing in the morning." Leo smothered the fire and headed inside the shelter, Eddie following behind him.

Eddie peered through the morning mist, barely being able to see more than a few feet in front of him. "Leo, you said we'd go look for them first thing," He said, peering over his shoulder at a still half-asleep Leo.

"Not in these conditions," He shook his head, squinting toward the woods, yet still unable to make out a single tree. "We'll just get lost then were no help to anyone."

Eddie huffed and sat by the smothered firepit, his gaze fixed, never unwavering from the woods. "Yeah, but we don't know if they're okay!" Eddie said, holding his head in his hands.

"I'm sure they're fine, with any luck they're using the radar to get back here. Maybe Willow was just really far away?" Leo replied, rather questioningly. He sat beside Eddie and started at the woods as well, just hoping for something to come out.

They stayed there for a few more minutes and the fog lightly cleared up, they could now clearly make out the woods line. Much to their liking. "Come on Leo, the fog cleared up, let's go-" He was silenced by three figures emerging from the woods, all leaning heavily on each other for support.

Eddie bolted up and ran toward them, immediately taking in their disheveled appearance. Sylvia had multiple scratches on her arms, and one big cut across her face, not over the entirety of it, but over most of her forehead. Willow looked paler than usual, other than a few minor scratches she looked fine. Sophia on the other hand had somewhat of a hole in her shoulder as if something had eaten away at the skin. She was breathing through clenched teeth, seemingly trying really hard to not scream out in pain.

"Oh my god," Eddie trailed off, looking between the three girls with their blood-splattered clothes and arms. "Are you guys okay? What," His gaze landed longer on Sophia's shoulder. "What happened!?"

Leo also approached and guided them all to the fire pit before hurriedly starting a fire using some remaining dry leaves. Sylvia grinned and chuckled dryly. "Looks like someone figured out how to start a fire," Leo smiled and moved a few strands of her knotted hair out of her face.
