Callie got back up from the ground. She was scratched all over. Thankfully, there was nothing worse than the bruises from the plane crash. But what happened to her friends? She looked back to where they were and saw her classmates, and someone new. She couldn’t recognize her. They were fighting? Pine was really angry too.
“WHOA! Pine, cool it! Do you really think picking a fight in the middle of nowhere is a good idea? Especially with someone who lives here and could help us?” Callie took a breath and smiled at the unfamiliar face. “I’m sorry about all of this. I’m Callie. Who are you?” She held out her hand as a greeting.
(When you’re gone for just a few hours…)
(It was so fun reading what you guys wrote though. I love it!)
(lol when you're gone literally a few minutes and everything is completely different than when you left)
(The girl as in Cassie??)
River shook her head, exasperated, and left the mother bear to see how many people had survived this crash, twisting her one earring and trying desperately not to think about Alice and Willow. She followed the strange boy back, doing a quick survey. The girl, 'Callie', greeted her warmly. "River.", she replied calmly, shaking her hand, insides somersaulting with joy at the prospect of some human company.
(night guys! sorry for my character being an absolute a hole @TopazWyrmlet~ )
(lol! no problemo, I'm picturing several scenes with them bickering)
“Nice to meet you, River. What were you and Pine talking about, anyway?” Callie asked, trying to be as friendly as possible to the new face. Callie hated fighting, so she tried to give a good impression.
Cassie tried to sit up, but couldn't. She was too tired.
Lucy woke once more to the sounds of shouting and crackling fire. She slowly opened her eyes, taking in thearea around her. Pine and some other girl were making a racket, Callie trying to cool them down. Cassie sat nearby, lookng terribly exhausted. Lucy put a hand to her side, finding that the shard was gone, and a bandage had taken it's place. She attempted to sit up, finding that she had only slightly more strength than before. Cassie looked up as Lucy rose, and Lucy nodded a thank you, too dehydrated to speak.
Lucy looked at the girl who had been arguing with Pine, "Who would that be?"
Kirsten followed the group back to camp, eyeing the stranger. River, she had said her name was. She looked very comfortable in this Alaskan setting. She shrugged and introduced herself.
"Kirsten," she smiled.
Matthew awoke with a start, smelling Steak. "Wha…? I smell Golden Corral."

Pine sat in a tall-as-frick pine tree, watching everyone down below and swinging his legs back and forth. He needed to put a check on his anger before he hurt someone. For once people were respecting him and turning to him as a leader, and the empowering feeling he got from that was too much for him to lose.
"Sorry about the bear.", she added. "And I'm nit from around here either. My plane crashed a few days ago." River scrathed her itchy neck.
Cassie sat up. "Kirsten………………………." She couldn't continue.
Kirsten looked to Cassie worriedly. She knelt down next to her. "What's up, Cassie?" she asked quietly.
River stood back, a respectful distance away, glancing up at the annoying guy, who was now sitting in a pine tree. She looked to one of the other girls. "How many of you are there? Where are you currently staying?", she asked, forcing the awful memory of her sisters' glassy, dead eyes staring up at her out of her head.
Cassie looked up at the newcomer. "Seven, I think." She said, her voice giving away her fatigue. She weakly handed Kirsten a notebook. "Look through this. I need to rest." She laid back down, closing her eyes, ignoring the pain in her leg.
Mr. Nikolas, bringing a hand through his hair, just decided to address this later. None of this made sense to him.
Seven…, River thought to herself. "Are any of your phones intact so that we can call for help? Mine shattered in the crash." Am I being too forward?
(River turns fifteen the next day. Her family was flying to visit her grandfather for her birthday)
(Cassie fell asleep so someone else will have to answer.)
"We checked for phones. No signal." Kirsten confirmed. "We don't have a shelter, for now, we were mostly concentrating on gathering people and supplies."
