[BlueCougar]

Blake entered the brush quiet in thought. Slowly he walked around and picked up some sticks looking at the larger tree limbs and trunks realizing that he had nothing to cut them with...but may be he could build something small...a few of them....
Suddenly Cicero could be heard from behind, he whirled around
Hey hey, wait up!" he panted running up to him, and right after that Alice came up to the both of them as well. Blake remained silent, caught a little off guard mean while Cicero quickly caught his breath just to realize Alice had followed, he stood straight and stared silently as well.

[StolenDreams]

Alice bounded in after Cicero and kicked his leg with her bare foot. "I said sorry!" she said, glaring at him, her golden eyes fiery. She turned her gaze to Blake and it immediately softened.

"Why'd you run off?" she asked, smiling slightly. She wasn't quite sure why she'd kicked Cicero after chasing him, but this time she didn't really regret it. The only thing she did regret was the lack of shoes.

[BlueCougar]

Cicero quickly grabbed his leg and started hopping in mock pain, "Oh! Sorry huh?"
Blake was baffled by their interactions...it seemed failure, may be he knew someone that acted like that? But their feet were different...
He wiggled his toes, more confused then ever, but suddenly was snapped from his thoughts, "Uh...um..I did not run." he blinked realizing how pointless that sounded, "...I just...thought...that we were going to need more shelter so I figured I'd get started on that."
Cicero pouted putting his foot down, "You know what? this weather doesn't look like there's going to be any rain in the near future...." he turned to Alice smiling, "And you?...You really sorry? Why not we go back to camp, I'll get my bottle of wine and we can go off somewhere and you can really show me how sorry you are~"
Blake just stared a bit uneasy he didn't know exactly what Cicero was insinuating...but he had a pretty good idea. He suddenly wondered to himself why he didn't just turn back and start doing what he was before they came now that the conversation was getting weird for him....then it occurred to him, could it be Alice? He wasn't protective of her or anything...and yet...she seemed...
as soon as his thoughts floated to this matter he felt a pang of sadness, like he had lost someone dear to him and he couldn't love again. He didn't have any memory's that popped out at him but the feeling still held it's meaning. Quickly he turned and continued picking up sticks feeling even more uncomfortable about his odd memory's, not sure if he even wanted to know about his past.

[StolenDreams]

Alice smiled at Blake. "Well that's a good idea," she said, encouraging his idea. However her attention was grabbed fully by Cicero only a moment later. She laughed lightly at his proposal and took a step forward, placing her arms around his neck and looking up at him.

"How sorry do you want me to be?" she asked, her eyelids half-closed. She knew that she had no objections to his proposal, but she was curious if he actually meant it or would she unnerve him?

[BlueCougar]

Cicero smiled deviously, gazing into her eyes, "Ohhh I think any amount of sorryness will do~ You know me, I love all lifes pleasures no matter how small."

Blake was offically uncomfortable with the situation now he collected the wood into a pile and then walked farther off into the woods.

[StolenDreams]

Alice laughed brightly and honestly felt like herself for a moment. Since she's been here, although it had only been a day, she already noticed a change in speech, actions, and, not by choice, dress. Her eyes looked hungry and her mouth was smirking. "Then lead the way lover boy, we'll see how sorry I can be," she said, her expression entertained.

Half of her brain was yelling at her while the other half strangled the previous half and told her to go ahead. In all her 'adventures' of the bedroom kind, she was lucky to have never gotten pregnant. Honestly she never thought about it, and even now it never even occurred to her that it could ever happen.

[BlueCougar]

Cicero grinned widely and chuckled, "Well...this is gunna be fun." he looked back suddenly remembered Blake was there...or had been, he was now a fair walk away so he called out to him merrily, "I'll see you later Blake!" he wrapped his arm around Alice now to proceed down to the beach and towards the camp. They had only gone a few steps however before a gun shot rang out. Cicero immediately froze and so did Blake, suddenly remembering what a gun was and sounded like.





( lol oh well guess it'll have to wait till another time....unless that's one of Alices fetishes...lmao )

[StolenDreams]

The gun shot shocked Alice so much that she jumped. She looked up at Cicero for only a moment before looking to Blake. Suddenly she realized that the shot had been near the camp and some sort of instinct hit her hard. "Gwyneth," she breathed before bolting off, any thought of Cicero, or Blake for that matter, gone.

[BlueCougar]

Cicero sighed watching her run off and slowly walked back up to Blake, "This island...." he looked back to the sea, "I wonder why we're here? Why me, you?"
Blake paused before continuing his work once more.
Cicero sighed again looking around, "Strange strange strange...." he looked toward where the gunshot went off, "We could easily end up killing each other...."
With that he started picking up sticks to slowly moving Blake's pile down closer to camp.

[Back from: Missing Home Already]

Alice didn't immediately return to Cicero and Blake, instead she circled the area in which they were. She felt the tears in her eyes and her shoulders were tense and if she were a cat, she would have looked ready to spring. Biting her lip she kicked the dirt and nearly swore when she realized that the ground on her bare feet hurt.

Then she let out a frustrated cry and crumbled to the ground. "I wish I'd never met 'er... then I wouldn't 'ave to deal with this... my sister... I want to see 'er... I want to go 'ome..." she whispered, tears falling down her face. Her heart was racing and she knew it wasn't Gwyn's fault, but she hadn't seen her family in years... in fact she had thought them dead. And the realization that they weren't finally hit her. She finally had a moment to think about it and wonder why she had been abandoned.

She lay down on the ground and covered her face and just let the tears fall, thinking of her father, her sister, her lover, and now Gwyneth.

[BlueCougar]

They had both worked in somewhat of a silence slowly creating a pile and moving it to lower ground...hopefully it would be useful not just for more shelters but fishing rods and firewood.


Blake walked farther on looking for thicker pieces of wood now, till he started to hear a noise. He turned slowly....was someone crying?
He walked toward the sound and soon saw Alice in the distance sobbing. He wasn't quite sure what was wrong he did notice before that her feet had been hurting...could that be it? He took off his shoes and quietly walked up to her and kneeled down placing the shoes next to him, his voice was soft smooth and low, "Um...Alice are you ok?"

[StolenDreams]

Alice heard the footsteps but had no time to compose herself. She sat up and looked at Blake miserably. "I'm fine... just... leave me alone," she said wiping her face off and attempting to stand up. She was shaking by this point, simply because she had bottled up so much for so long that she couldn't handle the pressure anymore. She ripped off her choaker and threw it to the ground, not caring that she revealed the pale scar across her neck. Then she started to rip off Blake's jacket.

"I just... I can't do this," she said sitting down again, her hands covering her face. The jacket off her shoulders and her hair was over her face and shoulders. She wished Blake wasn't here to see it, but she had no choice now. What happened had happened, and truly that was what bothered her.

[BlueCougar]

Blake watched her get up and then stood with her, sort of baffled, not that he didn't understand but he wasn't the type that really knew what to say and how to comfort unless he knew said person intimately. He watched her take off everything, he noticed the scars but didn't think much of it, or didn't actually understand their full meaning rather. When she sat back down he quietly picked up the choker and jacket, folding it and placing the choker on top, he pet it for a moment thinking of what to say before placing it to the side and picking up the shoes holding them up to her forgivingly, "..I- have shoes...for your feet." "um.."

[StolenDreams]

If the expression on Alice's face could have been any more deadly, someone would literally be on the ground, heart stopped. She looked at the shoes and then the jacket and choaker.

"You've GOT to be joking! I mean either you're VERY THICK or just very naive!" she said standing up again, her golden eyes filled with fire. She wanted to apologize to Blake, she really did, but her body and mouth would not cooperate. She let out another exasperated cry and wished she had something else to throw. And then she removed her shirt, not caring that she was literally half-naked and threw it at him. Again she revealed her scars but again did not care.

"Just... just go away... please before I do something I REALLY will regret," she said, trying really hard not to pick up a rock and throw it at his head.

[BlueCougar]

Blake just sat there, listening his face fixed not showing any fear and Alice's lashing out. She undressed further, throwing her shirt at his face which he held for a moment, still in silence while she commanded him to leave.
"....No."
He gingerly put down the shirt next to the jacket and choker and shoes, and got up slowly and then looked at her, "I know your mad about something else besides shoes..." this situation felt familiar to him...like he knew someone that also bottled up emotions until they burst...but some how it was different, it was about something else or was it more similar then he thought?..he couldn't remember...
"Your not treating yourself well enough."
He breathed before continuing, "....you shouldn't feel so bad. We're on an empty island...and whatever happened between Gwyn and you can be fixed."
