Carrie stands in a circle with ner new comrades, Warden, Arlen, and Vennessa. She breaks away from the conversation to gaze into the now-setting sun. There is a slight breeze playfully kicking up her hair into whisps and whirls around her young face.
She pauses a moment, just taking it all in. So much excitement...So many new things have begun today...Perhaps even the start of a better life for her. She breathes the evening air slowly, relishing what could be her last peaceful moment for a time. She turns around again, this time facing the three.
"I believe it's time we were going. We'll ride at night to best avoid confrontation, and there won't be any rest until daybreak. I hope none here are afraid of the dark."
She mounts her bike and starts the engine, hoping the night will be a kind one.

Warden gets on his horse, then looking at the group, he thinks to himself, "This will not be an easy journey. i only wish she were beside me..." He seemed to be lost in thought for a while, but he then said, "I can already tell that before we reach our goals, this group will be much larger. So, we might as well start now."

"Well I'll tell ya'll what I don't like to be one to just wait around and about the only thing I can think of that I really want to grow is MY pockets, I mean after all I got mouths to feed like mine and well ... Mine."
*Turning his horse he began a very slow pace towards the direction in which Carrie had pointed earlier, waiting for someone to pick it up.

Vennessa slowly turns to glance at the group once more her violet eyes gleaming as she mounts herself upon her stead. Her eyes seemed to watch as the others where heading towards the setting sun. From under her breath she spoke softly trying not to draw attention to herself as she road up beside the others.
“Another sun set another day goes by. What will await us across the sands? No one knows…”
Her glance slowly turned away from the group and she stares out at the vast land that lay before her.
“Well I hope every one is ready, because its going to be along journey.”<br>

Carrie follows Arlen, beckoning for the others to follow, but stops short when she realizes:
"I just thought about something: My bike. Nothing's more noticeable at night than a roaring engine, so I suppose I'll be walking."
She kills the engine and hops off, a feeling of remorse creeping up in her heart from knowing she'll have to leave it behind for good.
My last memory of home...Ah well. I suppose it's for the best that I learn to forget...
She presses on, oppressing her emotions yet feeling a bit awkward for being the only member of the group on foot, looking so insignificant standing next to a mighty horse. The night closes in as the last ray of light dissappears into the horizon...

Seeing the people start their journey it was the perfect time to look at the machine left behind. She carefully made her way from the woods trying to stake as quite as she could as she went straight to the bike.
She began looking at the bike and slowly taking off small pieces and stuffing them into her little pack. Until the bikes falls. Her heart began to pound in panic as she struggles to get out from under. Yet it was of no use.

"Come now little lady there ain't no need for you to walk there's plenty of room on this horse for both of us."
*As Arlen extends a hand a smile broadens over his face barely seen by the dim moonlight.
"This is awesome I might have fun on this trip yet." Arlen thought to himself.

Warden smirks at Arlen's suggestion, knowing all to well of his attempt. His exspression then changed when he heard a loud, crashing noise from behind them.
He jumped of his horse and walked toward the noise, only to find that Carrie's bike had fallen, on top of somone.
"Carrie. Come here." Said warden, as he looked at the figure under the bike, "I think we have found a little girl."

Relieved to have a distraction, Carrie runs after Warden and sees a small girl (miraculously alive) struggling underneath the weight of the bike. It takes both adults to lift it off of her.
"Oh my goodness! Are you alright?" she asks the small girl.
Only then does she notice: Her bike had been partially dismantled, and the girl posessed a backpack, filled to the brim with parts. A fever suddenly comes over her as she stared at the little thief.

Seeing both the man and woman spotting her she gets to her feet quickly and began to sprint on the path passing the horses quickly not looking back, yet this was only a day dream as she came back. Looking at the two she frooze, maybe if she didn't move they would not see her.

Warden looked at the girl, and smiled.
"She reminds me of Kattalena when she was little.." Warden said. He then got to his feet, and walked over to her. "What is your name? It's alright. No one is going to hurt you." he said in a soft, kindly voice.

She got to her feet and slowly backed away. SHe moved her lips but it was to quite to be heard. Her eyes were wide and easily could tell she was scared. SHe kept backing until she tripped over her own pack falling to her rear. She began to trimbles as she kept her eyes on the adults.

Warden looked at the scared little girl, and offered her his hand,
"It's ok. You don't have to worry. We won't hurt you."
He could feel that this girl was afraid of them in fear of punishment, but he would make sure that she would be taken care of....

She grabs his hands then suddenly clings to him as if he was the only protection she got. She was trimbling as her hands were wrapped tightly to the man's pants.

Warden picks the girl up, and holds her close to him, trying to cofort her.
"It's ok." he said to her.
He then got on his horse with her in his arms.
"Well, now that you trust me, what is your name?" he asked her.
