Rebbeca looked at the boys and then at the tent,the scratch marks were near where Nikki's head was. "I rather be cramp but safe." She hold moved to roll up her bag enough to take it to the other tent. Nikki didn't want to but she wasn't bound to sleep in the tent by herself. Between everythig , her head thrubbed.

Moving her own sleeping bag, she moved to the boys tent. Rebbeca and her were going to sleep in the middle of the tent. There was a mark starting to form on the girls for head as everyone gathered in the bigger tent. 'This should be interesting. No funny business you two, there is not enough room."

The boys watched as the girls moved their sleeping bags and pillows and other items into their tent squeezing them between the arrangement they had already setup. It would be cramped that was certain. "No promises Nikki" Mike joked to Nikki's comment as he waited for them to get settled. "You're head okay, what hit you?" Rebecca asked Nikki as they wondered over to the other tent noticing the small bump.

Andy kept his eyes on the woods as everyone got comfortable. "Maybe one of us should take a watch, just in case these idiots decide to come back. We'll switch off now and then." He said to Mike as his attention turned momentarily to the girls tent. They did more than try to scare them with the marks on the tent. He wanted to make sure if they came back they were spotted before they could do anything else. "Right, well I'll take first watch" Mike replied.

Pulling up one of their chairs he plopped himself down comfortably beer already in hand. Andy laughed "Well I'm heading in then, don't fall asleep on us now" Andy replied patting his friend on the shoulder before going into the tent. Walking over the sleeping bag he squeezed himself between the girls, Rebecca had already turned herself into a caterpillar and looked like she'd passed out again, though she seemed to twitch now and then as Andy walked over his sleeping bag. He lay down on top plopping his head back on his pillow. He and Mike had been so spread out before as he was sure the girls had been in their own tent, now he felt like a hotdog.

"I think however kicked the tent and my face just happened to be that close." Nikki rubbed her face as they settled into the boys' tent and Rebecca looked at her friend's forehead. "I'm fine mom really." Nikki joked before curling up into her sleeping bag. The sound of the boys talking made her frown. The idea of Mike being out there by himself made her worry but not Rebecca, she was out. Looking at Andy as he came in and laid down, she hunkered lower into the bag. "You alright?"

In truth Andy didn't like the idea of leaving Mike out there by himself but he knew it would be good to switch off instead of them both possibly falling asleep out there. Besides Mike had like twice the muscle as Andy did, he could handle himself even if he was a big teddy bear. Andy turned his head when he heard Nikki's voice as he climbed into the tent about to settle in himself. He stared at her, at the bruise on her forehead. "Fine" He replied "I'm not the one who looks like they walked into a wall, how about you? You okay?" He asked reaching over to feel the bump on her forehead. "Got you good didn't they." he joked

Turning on his side he rested on his back again on top of his sleeping bag, he still wasn't very cold compared to Niki and Rebecca who bundled up in their sleeping bags like cocoons, Mike was the same way, they both just used them more as a mattress. "Lets try and get some sleep again" he muttered as he closed his eyes once more.

During the night Andy awoke once more but this time it was from Mike shaking him awake. Andy groggily pulled himself up off the ground and switched with Mike on watch. Minuets seemed to go by like hours as he sat out there staring into the treeline. There was no sign of movement, no noises, but as he sat there as the time ticked by he still had the feeling that they were being watched. He sipped a glass of beer as he stared into the darkness. Of all the things they packed he was starting to wish they had a gun on them. It might have been these peoples only intention to frighten them a bit but Andy still felt uneasy.

Suddenly he sat up in his chair, he could hear it again, that noise, the cracking, buzzing and strange hollering he heard before. It faded in and out getting louder at times but then disappearing as if it was wondering away from their position, repeating. Andy stood up from his chair listening and staring into the woods trying to locate the source but again it was all around him. He shined a flashlight out but he couldn't make out anything. Now and then he thought he saw movement but he wasn't sure if ti was the trees tricking him in the light making shadows.

He froze in place when in the darkness he suddenly heard voices, or at least he could have sworn he heard voices, they were like whispers, chatter in the dark. It made the hair on his arms stand on end. Then as soon as it started it ceased. Andy stood where he'd been simply staring into the darkness before plopping back down in his chair. He wasn't sure if he should wake the others or not, everything was quiet again. At the very least he would tell Mike when his next watch was up.

Nikki winced at him touching her forehead with a hiss. It thobbed and hurt. She fell asleep not long after she curled up to. Mike had came inside stepping over her to shake Andy up but waking her up to when he moved back, stepping on her orange hair in the process, to curl up in the same large bag with Becca.

Unable to fall back asleep, the woman sighed laying on her back and lists ing to Mike's snoring. With a silent grumble she moved from the inside of the warm bag and crawled to the front of the tent. The zipper was quite as it was unzipped an she backed out of the tent. Turning to her feet, she looked at Andy, him freaking out waving his flashlight about.

Andy turned in his seat to look down seeing Nikki crawling out of the tent. She looked rather amusing as she maneuvered her way through the opening and turned on her feet to face the woods, but Andy wasn't feeling the mood of humor at the moment.

The noises he heard were now gone, there was no movement in the trees save for the leaves moving with the wind. He could feel the breeze but it felt good on his skin, cool night air that was welcome compared to the hot weather earlier that day, though the girls seemed to bundle up for warmth. Andy turned his attention away from Nikki just to stare back at the woods. All he could hear now were the crickets and tree frogs. At least now they felt comfortable to speak, or maybe they had all along, not bothered by the noises he'd heard, maybe they were used to it. He knew he hadn't imagined it but perhaps he was jumping to conclusions, after all there were all sorts of wild animals out here, maybe it was a bear or the call of a coyote or something, yeah that was it, just animals. He wasn't familiar with a lot of noises they made anyway. He was still surprised sometimes at the noises he heard from squirrels.

Realizing his flashlight was still on he flicked it a few times before finally leaving it off though he kept it still within his grip. He stayed silent as they sat there simply staring off "Cant sleep?" He asked finally glancing down at Nikki as she sat on the ground "Want a chair?" He added to his question. Tilting his head toward their pile of fold up chairs.

Nikki still felt as if they were being watched even after Andy spoke. Glancing up to him, she stood up and went to the pile of chairs. "No, I can't. Mike climbed in with sleep beauty and bumped me by accident. That and...never mind." Nightmares, flashbacks. Every time she close her eyes it was either them back in the cave or of Sam.

At times she could still feel hot etcher sing at her skin. The sound of hissing as it coursed through each layer after layer of skin on her back and behind her ear. The memory caused her the slowly caressed the spot behind her ear once more. Flopping the chair down, she sat down as well and looked up at what little stars they can see.

Nevermind...why did she have to cut off like that. They both did that all the time and it annoyed the hell out of him, probably annoyed her as well. Mike wasn't the only thing keeping her up. She hadn't slept well either of the nights that they'd been out here, it had nothing to do with who was in the tent with her. At least he didnt think so anyway. She said earlier what was on her mind had nothing to do with him, he still wasn't so sure about that, he knew they weren't dating anymore and they didn't have to tell each other everything if they didn't want to. Friends kept secrets from each other all the time, but he was still curious.

Andy watched as Nikki made her way around him to grab a chair. He took a sip of his beer as she moved again to put the chair down. Watching as she moved she brushed the back of her neck as if she was rubbing a sore muscle. He stayed silent even after she sat down till taking another sip of his beer "So" He said glancing at her before getting to his feet. "You gonna tell me whats bothering you or do I have to guess" He could see it on her face, the same expression she'd been making the entire time, trying to hide it with a smile and a laugh. She might be able to fool Mike and Rebecca but he knew better. "I know its not any of my business and you can tell me to ******** off if you don't want to but what ever it is has been on your mind since we got here." He said looking down at her as he tilted his head to the side. Her silence and avoidance was starting to get annoying it didn't help that he was on edge with everything that was going on.

Nikki glanced a the tent were the other two slept. "Not since we got here but since last night at least. Becca and Mike know some of it already but not everything." She looked at him bringing her knees to her chested with a sigh.

"Every since Mike brought up Sam, it brought back the bad memories that has taking the last year to get over it." She moved her hair back from her ear and pulled the ear forward reveling the mark behind it. "He was a bit...um different...abusive."

Andy stood silent as he looked down at her. Mostly because he was letting her speak, he wanted to hear what had been on her mind, but also because once he did hear the reason he wasn't sure what to say. He didn't want to upset her further with any sort of remark he might unconsciously make. He couldn't help but feel anger maybe even rage building within him. Some of it he knew was partially from everything that had been going on lately, he was already angry and annoyed at that. Now he learned about this.

Apparently he was the only one in the dark about it, Becca new about it, and Mike...Mike was his best friend and even he didn't say anything?! At least 'hey Nikki's having some trouble' would have been nice. What did they think he would do try to find the guy and beat him up? Actually now that he thought about it he really was tempted to even though it apparently happened years ago. He didn't know this guy and Nikki and him were through but Andy still cared about her as much as he didn't completely like to admit it. Andy may have acted like he hated Nikki for a while and acted like an a*****e himself but if he'd learned about this earlier, yeah he probably would have at least tried to get a hold of her, made sure she was okay, or offered some sort of help. Now he slightly regretted ignoring any calls he did receive from her, what if that had been it? What if she had been trying to reach him from this?

Nikki pulled back her hair to reveal the scar he'd seen earlier when she was asleep. Now he was seeing it in a new light, now he knew what it was from, or at least how she got it. Unconsciously Andy's grip tightened on the flashlight in his hand as he stared down at the scars the covered her skin. He cleared his throat a bit "I'm glad you got out of it" he said. He was still feeling rather angry, at a number of things including himself. Andy turned to look into the firepit as he drank another sip of his beer, he tossed the can into the pit before turning around again "Damn it Nikki, why didn't you say anything?!" his voice raising a bit. Why didn't anybody say anything? Why had this been kept a secret? He paused trying to calm down, his nerves were getting the better of him right now and he was taking it out on her when she certainly didn't need it. Andy held up a hand "Sorry. I didn't mean it, I didn't mean to yell...just-" He said after a moment turning to face her again. He walked forward and slumped back down in the chair next to her sighing. Andy then pulled out his cigarette pack and lit one exhaling a long puff of smoke as his leg shook uncontrollably as he stared off into the woods again. He pulled another one out and held it out for Nikki to take.

"Barely," Nikki muttered moving to hide the scare behind her ear again. It wasn't that she didn't try to hide it from him, no one knew how bad it gotten but the police and doctor. "Becca and Mike didn't know how bad it gotten. All she knew was he hit me a few times while drunk and we broke up. Mike didn't really now that. Neither of them no about the marks." She had only showed him one mark, the others were worse. She curled up, bringing her knees to her chest at him yelling.

Her body shook at the sudden uproar from him. He had the right to be mad but he had the right to not know anymore since they broke up. Ignored her phone calls countless of times. When the cigarette was offered, she took it and held her hand for a light. "It's worse." She stuck the cigarette between her lips and turned her back to him. This was the reason she didn't swim any more. Lifting the back of her shirt, she revealed the etching marks there. They looked like trail of swirls, welds of smallest worm barrels you would see in a piece of wood, matching the one behind her ear.

He didn't like the sound of 'barely' when she said it, her voice low and quiet. Andy glanced at her "Oh" he replied, he suddenly felt horrible for raising his voice now that he knew Mike and Rebecca really didn't know that much more about it than he did. He didn't even know why he'd gotten angry really it wasn't like she had to tell any of them anything or that they had a right to know any of it.

Andy held out his lighter holding it down for the flame to stay on so she could light her cigarette. She spoke again as she did so and Andy paused still holding the flame alight as he stared at her before closing his lighter. Worse, how could it be worse? He wasn't sure he wanted to know the answer to that. Before he could say anything else Niki lifted her shirt and turned her back toward him. The sight of the scars that covered her back caused his mouth to drop. Andy put a hand over his mouth rubbing his face a bit as if keeping himself from saying anything he shouldn't. His hand moved toward her back but instead of touching her skin he rested it on the back of her chair, stopping himself, not knowing if she wanted to be touched there or not. "Jesus Nikki..." He muttered.

Andy didn't want to look at it anymore, he slumped back in his own chair. He had the urge to hug her then and he wanted to beat the s**t out of the guy who did it to her, though he knew that was impossible and he didn't think hugging her would be a good thing to do either so he just remained still in his chair, he would at least listen for now.

Nikki let the shirt drop back down to cover the marks and went to puff on the cigarette. She didn't know what was going through Andy's mind at that time but what was going through hers was memories of the past and good hopes for the future. "Between not eating breakfast, not sleeping and my mind that is why I past out earlier. You all were saying what kind of person could do that and I just thought of what Sam did and thought he would be the type to do that. It was all to much at once I guess." She flicked the ashes towards the ground and bushed orange hair from her face.

"That's understandable" He replied, now they knew why she fainted. He'd have to keep a better eye on her from now on, especially if she wasn't going to be eating as much from all this. He was surprised Becca didn't force feed her knowing how the two of them seem to make sure everyone's gotten enough to last them most of the day. He and Mike had downed a lot of what was there though that morning. Andy pulled out his pack of cigs as well "Here, take as many as you want" He said holding the pack out for her. "You need them more than I do" He added though he wasn't quite sure if that was true

His mind wondered back to the cave, it was certainly messed up, though as much as he knew about the guy 'sam' he wasn't sure if he'd go that far, sure he was abusive and messed up in the head and probably deserved more than a beat down or two, but that cave was something else entirely. A whole nother level of messed up. "I'll be shifting watch with Mike again soon but you're welcome to stay out here with me if you cant sleep" he said.

Nikki looked down at the pack as Andy handed it over and shook her head. She lifted the current cigeratte to her lips. "No this will be my last one." Taking a long DRG, she knew as long as she didn't have another episode that she would be alright without one. Her blue eyes scanned the woodline frowning at the nature acting normal. It was odd that one minute everything was fine and then sudden go Topsy turby. "I'll stay out here till shift change. Maybe I'll be able to sleep better." Flicking the burnt out smoke on the ground, she snuffed it out with a nearby stone. "Hey Andy, what ever happen to us?" It was a question that always played in the back of her mind.
