"What happened to your family?" Avery asked, caution and fear making her voice quiet.

Vaughn exhaled sharply as he considered telling her or not, but he decided he might as well. “I was thirteen and home with my mom and baby sister, dad came home drunk, shot and dismembered their bodies while I hid in the closet,” he said unsteadily.

(Lol, ok. Enjoy reading it, then!) (I totally just realized that I forgot to respond to Vaughn… Whoops!)

Avery's hand flew to her mouth as she gasped in horror. "I'm so sorry," she mumbled around it. "Vaughn… I'm so sorry…"

(It’s all good, I’ve been busy with school work anyways.)

“Don’t be,” Vaughn said, shrugging. “He’s locked up and I’ve become a stronger person because of it.”
There was a dull ache in his lungs, but he pushed that feeling away the best that he could.

( meanwhile in the truck… )
Element slumped, her back leaning against the truck wall. She hated any type of cuffs.
"Ben? Ben where are you?" Ari cried. She was in the dark woods, alone. Ben had been beside her, and he just disappeared without so much as a scream. "Ben!" she called again. Still no answer. She heard sticks snap behind her, and turned around swiftly. "Ben?" she said quietly. But it wasn't Ben that stood in from of her. It was a Makiya. She cried out and ran, but she wasn't fast enough. He caught her and cuffed her, using his magic to take away her sight. Then Ari fell unconscious.
Element lowered her head. Cuffs would forever remind her of the day she lost her brother.

Taking a deep breath to clear her head, Avery stood and faced the direction the truck was in.

"We should go back to them," she suggested, her voice tight.

“Yeah, we should,” Vaughn responded and stood, taking his gun back and putting a new clip into it. He seemed to be back to his other attitude, like he hadn’t just been open moments before. He walked back to the truck in silence.

Element heard Avery and Vaughn approach, so she wiped away tears, put on a brave face, and stood.

(I'm sorry to Dylan to do this, and I can totally pretend that I didn't even say this if you guys don't like it, but this feels like it was bound to happen anyway, so… here goes…)

Avery walked behind Vaughn, her pace slower than his as the thoughts tumbled around in her head. What was that all about? Why do I keep feeling this way around guys that I hardly know? She shook her head, trying to clear it as they arrived at the truck.

"Your back." said Element.

( wait what? @SorceressWriter )

( single Pringle )

(I literally almost laughed out loud at that!)

(RIP)

Vaughn grabbed the guard by the collar of his shirt and dragged him around the other side of the building, muttering something about going to change. He walked back a few minutes later, the guards clothes on and his own clothes in a neat pile in his hands. He tossed his clothes onto the passenger side seat of the truck.
“So we get there, and then what?” Vaughn asked, tugging at the collar of the shirt.

"I, uh, thought we'd sneak in. The 'guards' would pretend to have captured us, and… Yeah. That's about as far as I got," Avery told them, then smiled sheepishly.

Vaughn exhaled and ran his hand through his hair a few times, trying to mess it up from it’s normal style as much as possible. All he had accomplished, though, was making it look like he just rolled out of bed. “I guess we can improvise, then. Is everyone ready to go?”
He adjusted the shirt so his pistol could not be seen and opened up the drivers side door.

With a sigh, Avery climbed into the truck and snapped on a pair of cuffs.
