It was 15 days after Raven's little bomb show. Everyone had settled. No one really talked about that again. But Raven still got a few giggles out of reminding the boys occasionally.

The yacht was running out of food. It was the Trio's food that had them going for so long. They needed more food and to do that, they had to stop at a nearby city.

It was about 2 hours to noon when they did. They didn't really plan when they were going to, Strand just decided he wanted to stop there. Raven was the first to acknowledge the stop and shouted, "The Ground!!"

Elyza's and Lincoln's head whipped at the sound and they came running towards the front of the yacht from the quarters section.

Elyza and Lincoln had a smile on their face that couldn't be matched by anyone else's of the family. Maybe Raven's giddiness could challenge it..

"Alright. So we'll go and scavenge. You kids stay here and-" Madison started to speak approaching but Raven interrupted her,

"Woah woah woah. Imma stop you right there Mama Clark. I am not. A kid. I'm very much an adult and that gives me the freedom to say that me and Elyza will go out and grab stuff for all of us. We have more experience than you anyways"  Raven said with complete seriousness.

"Look Raven you don't need to do this. Me, Travis and Strand can go out. You don't have to risk your life when you can avoid it" Madison tried to reason.

"Most of our lives have been spent in the danger of losing our lives Madison. This will be just another stroll in the park" Elyza replied instead of Raven defending her point and also referring to their past lives.

Madison didn't have an answer for that. She didn't know how can they speak about it like it doesn't matter anymore.. Before the train of her thoughts could run more, Raven and Elyza had already gathered their bags and were ready to move out.

"Linc you ain't coming??" Raven asked after she saw Lincoln hadn't made a move to pack his bag.

"I'll stay and look around for some useful plants and stuff around. You two go on" he said with a smile.

"You three" Alicia piped up from behind and corrected with a bag already slung over her shoulders.

"Oh no. Alicia you are not going anywhere. You are staying right here on this yacht where you'll be safe" Madison said in a tone that left no room for argument. But of course. Alicia already had one,

"No I'm not. I'm tired of you treating me like a kid! I'm not 10 anymore! I'm 18 and also an adult. I can make my own decisions" Alicia said angrily moving towards the duo.

"Alicia you can't go and-" Madison started but again Raven interrupted,

"Look Mama Clark. If she wants to go, she can. You can't stop her. She is an adult. And don't worry. We'll protect her if the need arrives" Raven said calmly and also impatiently waiting to get off this damn yacht already.

"Yeah. We'll protect her" Nick piped up from behind also with a bag.

"Nick no. You can't-" Madison tried to speak again but got interrupted by Nick,

"Look mom. I'm not letting Alicia go alone. I already did once and look what happened. I'll be back by dusk" Nick finished.

"Alright! Can we go now?!" Raven said getting more impatient by the second.

When she didn't see anymore arguements coming, she jumped off the deck with others behind and shouted, "WE'RE BACK BITCHES!!"

Elyza and Lincoln just smiled getting the reference and others just shook their heads in amusement.
