He had no idea why he was there, but he did see a way out of the cave, so he took it. He climbed out and snuck into a tree, looking around the campsite. He noticed his dagger was laying on a tree stump and grabbed it before darting back to the tree. He heard the men coming back and decided to go back into the cave. He figured he knew he could escape, and if he stayed he would gain more information. Maybe I can find Ny and Fire Storm, too. I just hope Amer's all right.

Amber backed away from the dragon standing in front of her. She turned and ran as fast as she could while Kayda ran after her, trying to stop her. Amber ran straight into the arms of the men who had taken Sage.

"well well well, what do we have here? Come to save your boyfriend is it?" One of the men said. Amber gasped but then looked at him blankly while trying to free herself. "Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend!" She said struggling.
The man chuckled "trying to protect him are you? Pretend you don't know him". She started hitting the man repeatedly but he was obviously stronger "I don't have a boyfriend! I don't know what your talking about!" She shouted.

Sage paced the cave while the men were gone. He explored a bit more, but he didn't know when the men would be back, so he didn't stray far from the cave. After about 15 minutes, he was really tired and the places the rope had cut him were burning. He limped back to the cave and re-locked it before going to the back corner and falling asleep.

The men tied her wrists together and then strapped her to a tree. "I will ask one more time, who are you and why are you here" one of the men said angrily while pointing a knife at her. "I don't know!" She said with desperation in her voice. "I don't have a boyfriend and I don't know why I'm here! Let me go!" She pleaded.

Kayda on the other hand, was shocked that Amber was backing away from her, and saying she didn't have a boyfriend when she did have one. Kayda went up the side of the mountain and found the cave Sage was in. Sage you here? Somethings wrong with Amber!.....or else she is a super actress....She's lying through her teeth but she looks and..well..is acting terrified. She looked like she didn't know me and insists that she doesn't know you!

He sighed and rubbed his temples. "She did get hit in the head pretty hard. Ok I'll be right up. The other dragons can wait." He climbed up and unlocked the door on the cave before climbing out. The wounds on his arms and torso were still raw, but not as bad as before. At least, they were no longer bleeding. "where is she? I'll figure sometime out."

Sarah grinned and burst out laughing with him. "Putting dislocated things back are pretty easy so that doesn't count." She shrugged, and decided to tease him a little. "That's probably because your a bit of a wimp."

Kaito nodded. "Yeah. Unfortunately, we don't hear it if she's a more than mile away."

Elijah was not expecting the little dragon to press her head on his palm. He covered up his surprise decently, although it was still clearly written across his face. He looked up quickly when he heard some growling and stood up. He eyed the girl and her dragons, searching for possible weak points. Unfortunately, he could not find anything visible. He edged towards Atayi and Zai, silently trying to cover up Atayi's wing. He watched in disbelief as the protective polar dragon stepped aside. Motioning for Atayi to follow him, he began a slow pace to the girl's makeshift camp.

"It's not that easy when you can look them in the eye and see whatever I saw with you," He scowled at her. "also I'm not a wimp." He played his American accent because 'wimp" was one of words that he didn't like to say with his original accent. He thought it made him sound funny. It did.

A snap came from the upper part of the tree, Mason jolted in a slightky skittish manner, suddenly making his entire body tense, and making him grimace. He stared up, realizing it was just a branch. The pain stayed for a while. I shouldn't have moved like that..

"A mile is pretty far. I dunno if Mason has anything louder then some kind of.. war cry." She chuckled, it sounded just like something her brother would have. A war cry.

Kyda looked around ummm...she's tied to a tree..? The men have left her and they are.. Kayda moved herself around on the mountain edge to see where they went I think they are at the camp fire but I'm not sure.

Amber struggled with the rope trying to set herself free but they had tied her fairly tight to the tree. She felt as though she couldn't breathe the longer she struggled.

"Ok....ok well I might as well kill these guys while I'm here. Then I can explore their camp more. We'll have to figure out Amber's memory loss or whatever it is after I get her out of there..." He gestured to Kayda to stay watching Amber and ran around behind the man guarding her. He climbed a tree and ran along the branch before dropping and slitting the man's throat silently, so he wouldn't scream. He landed in a roll and stopped behind a rock for a moment before taking out the other men, one at a time until they all lay dead on the ground. He stood up and jogged over to Kayda and Amber. "They have food and the needed provisions here. We can stay here for the night, or we could go back to the other camp. Either one would be safe by now." He cut the ropes binding Amber while he talked to Kayda and then looked over at Amber. "Are you alright?"

Amber just looked at him with a blank expression on her face. Why is he talking to me like he knows me?! Why is he so calm with the dragon right there?!
Amber breathing started to return to normal and she looked at her surroundings. She found an 'escape route' and darted off.

Kayda turned around AMBER!! Sage help me get her!
