"Wait…where did Asher go?" Marlene exclaimed. I look away for one second, and the child is going off to kill things.

Fox shrugged in answer to both Lily and Marlene, and then took another bite of his apple.

I blink my eyes, realizing my surroundings. How much time had passed? Did anyone notice me staring blankly? I look over at Fox and the others, seeing as they were having their own conversation, so they didn't notice. I sigh and take a bottle of water out of the fridge, listening to the conversation to be able to participate.

Fox glanced at Exila, realizing that she hadn't moved for a while until now. He still didn't really have anything to contribute, and even if he did, he doubted the others would try to understand since hardly anyone ever did.

Mar grabbed an apple (and coil of rope - just in case) and ran out of the room, to the forest, where Asher said he'd be.

Fox glanced to Exila, his eyes darting quickly towards where Mar had gone in a look that meant "should we follow her?"

I watch the girl run as Fox looks at me expectantly. I suppose it's time to do something exciting, right?
I lean forward until my legs take over, running after the girl, not really knowing- or caring- what she was doing, but hoping that Fox would follow my actions.

Lily saw everyone run out and follow this girl so she decided that this might be entertaining and followed.

Fox copied Exila and Lily, curious to see what would happen. He was silent on his feet and swift, like his namesake.

Belle sat there in the kitchen and just drank her juice.

Marlene ran through the forest, leaping over logs and brambles, her eyes grazing over every place that Asher could be hiding. She may be cut and bruised by the time she found him, but the child needed someone to watch him.

Then again, Asher is a tiny killer…//

Ana saw that they were heading into the forest and turned right around. She walked back into the house and into the kitchen. There was no way she was dying today.

Asher was sitting in a tree, dangling his feet over some branches and watching the people run through the forest looking for him.

Belle got up after a while and went to go watch TV.

Mar heard a rustle from up above. She looked up to see Asher resting on a branch. She pointed to the ground. “Get down from there!”

"Im good." He calls down from the branch.

"Little bugger. I'll climb up there myself." Marlene swings her leg around a branch and starts to climb swiftly and agile.

Fox watched from a short distance away, curious but also slightly bored. He had come by himself to the forest multiple times, not that anyone had noticed since he was always completely silent.

Marlene climbed up next to Asher. "I'll have to take away those knives of yours if you don't behave," She threatens.

"You wont be able to find them all!" he smiles

"Oh, I will." She smiles sweetly back. "I'll fight fire with fire if I have to. Get down with me."
