Alone...

Adelina walked through the wilderness, humming quietly to herself, music blaring into her ears. It was Evanescence, of course; it was the only band she had been listening to since she had found out she was pregnant, actually. She hadn't noticed this, though.

As she continued walking, she stepped on a rather large stick and it cracked beneath her feet, which was probably the noise Tsim had heard. It was either that, or the young woman's scream when she almost fell over. If it wasn't either of the two... then oh, well. She caught herself, though, and let out a sigh of relief when she did so. "Good... safe," she said quietly with a laugh.

Ever since she and Andrew had gotten married, she had been a lot more cheerful. She had literally almost gotten killed by his insane mother, but at least she was married and happy, right?

She thought she saw someone familiar, and paused her music. She saw Tsim, and her face brightened. Hooray, one of her little sister's friends! She ran toward him and waved. "Hiiii!!!" she said.

Ember was walking aimlessly with no absolute direction at all, just going where her feet led her. When she loked at where she had ended up, she realized that she was somewhere in the wilderness. She shrugged and contiinuede to stroll along alone when something outof the corner of her eye caught her attention. It was quite a distance away from her, but in the dakrness of the wilderness, it stood out very bright. It was a white blob of some sort, she believed it was probably a person. Curious, she walked closer to the "light" to see for sure what exactly it or who it was.

She was a mere yard or two away before noticing that it was indeed a person. A boy actually, in what appeared to be deep thought. Ember was dressed in dark black clothing that night, so she was perfectly hidden in the shadows of the night. She took a few steps closer until she was only 4 feet away, then one more step and Snap! She had stepped on several branches, breaking them in half. She froze out of insticnt, as two ghostly white eyes looked up at her direction. She doubted that he could see her in the darkness, but she stood absolutely still. She didn't know why, but as she did, she wanted to know what would happen next.

Ember jumed slightly in her spot when another girl had appeared out of nowhere with a lot of energy waving to the boy in white. She looked over to him and sighed as she realized that he had spotte dher,but didn't move. Ember removed herself from the shadows and decided to formally greet him, like she should've, instead of being creepy. "Hi," She said extending a hand to shake. "I'm Ember."

Adelina heard another few branches snap, and she turned her head in the direction of the noise. She thought she saw something, but wasn't sure, so she did her best to shrug it off. There was no need to be scared, right? The young woman turned to look back at Tsim, smiling when he waved back at her. She was sure that he wasn't going to talk, since he didn't even talk to her sister, and they were friends. "How are you?" she asked him, hoping that this happy, energetic mood would last. She was really beginning to hate the mood swings, and the last thing she wanted to do was get mad at him or start crying hysterically in front of him.

"Hi..."

The seventeen-year-old looked to the other female, and offered her a smile as well. She had said her name was Ember? Alright. "Hello, Ember!" she said. "I'm Adelina, Addie or Lina for short." It was really quite strange for her to be this happy or kind... but, oh, well. Some mood swings could be good.

Ember looked at Tsim, he shook her hand but spoke not a word. Was he mute or something? She didn't ask this, having a feeling it would be somehow rude, so she remianed quiet. The other girl greeted Ember with an energetic smile. Adelina, Addie or Lina, was her name. A smile grew on Ember's face when she greeted her in return. It semed that Adelina's energy was contagious because Ember was happy. Weird. "Hi Adelina! How are you?"

"I'm good, and you?" Adelina said to Ember. She glanced at Tsim, surprised to see that the boy was showing interest. She decided to ask him how he was doing as well, seeing as how he could actually answer that. "What about you? How are you doing?" she asked him.
