Wynter dropped into a defensive stance at the boy’s harsh tone.
“Whoa, take it easy.” She said, he didn’t look too good. Something was wrong with his arm, she could tell this much, because it seemed to hang uselessly at his side. “First of all, my name is Wynter and –“
Another boy stepped out of the shadows and leaned against the rattling door. His hair was a strangely light color and he seemed much older than the other and older than herself as well. He was wearing a strange looking suit that Wynter guessed was a swimskin.
She addressed his question by answering, “Yeah, but I’ll take a while to explain. You’re from Cloral, aren’t you? We –“
Wynter was interrupted by more bangs on the door. She was about to continue on but a small thought crept into her mind. Quigs. Big, vicious, Second Earth, dog quigs. Quigs that will eat you alive or tear you to shreds and leave the remains. Quigs that were place there by Saint Dane.
Wynter ran over and joined the two boys at the door, pushing on it with her slim frame. “Crap,” She said, “Guys, explanations have to come later. We’re in real trouble right now. Did you guys see the dogs? Yeah, they’re called quigs and they’ll eat your throat out if given the chance. We have to get out of here.”

((Hey Bob_Henry, remember that Traverlers can understand each other already))
Auburn looked to the boy who just came out of the flume right after her and looked to him. He had come next to him and helped him with the door. He couldn't argue with help right now. He looked to the both of them and didn't even know what to say or do for that matter. He just focused on the door waiting for an answer from the girl and ignoring the boy's question. If those dogs got through, nothing would make sense and his crazed sense of adventure would be totally useless. He started to stare blankly and his mind wandered elsewhere.
Auburn was thinking of his life, this wasn't a flashback, just a recollection of thoughts. Then after a while, he looked to the boy and said.
"If I knew what was going on, I probably wouldn't be asking you two why the hell you are here" he said. Not Probably not the nicest thing to say, but he said it nonetheless.

“We’re here to save your a**, is that good enough for you?!” Wynter hissed at the boy’s disrespectful tone, “Any more questions? Anything like ‘why is the sky blue’ or ‘why does two plus two always have to equal four,’ maybe even ‘what’s the meaning of life’? The answer for right now is twenty four, happy?” she said sarcastically.
Several more bangs on the door were accompanied by a fierce rattling. Then she heard scratching and saw wood splintering away at the bottom corner of the door. They needed to do something and quick. How’s this for the wonderful beginning of a new life? She thought, Well this new life isn’t going to last too long now will it?
“Quigs are pretty big and scary but Gunny said they can be dumb.” She thought out loud, “If I were a big stupid dog what would I fall for?”
Wynter closed her eyes in though, hoping the other two wouldn’t answer her question with some smart-a** comment. A thought struck her like a rock between the eyes. She looked to the hinges on the door and decided if she could get them loose. She figured she could and inched nearer to them.
“Alright,” she said, “If we can do this right then I can pull out the hinge-nails and we can push the door on top of the quigs and hopefully stall them a bit. It won’t work if there’s too many, though. Hey kid,” she said to Auburn, “How many big black dogs did you see?”

((Okay, guys. Daneypoo says that she can't RP so I'll either be getting rid of her character or having someone play her character. I just wanted to tell you all, so no one go fluming off to Zadaa. I'm going to PM a few people and see if they are interested. If I don't find anyone then I'll say so and you guys can volunteer to plax another char. blah, blah, blah... {Btw, I call my Characters toons because, well, I just do, it's short and understandable so don't get confused if I say something like 'I'm going to be gone for a week so feel free to use my toon'... understandable, no?}
Also guys, see if anyone else wants to be in the RP because we have two or three territory's travelerless. xp ))

He was about to argue with her but squelched it once he heard the wood breaking in. He listened to her talk about quigs and a guy named Gunny. He pressed even harder on the door and really hoped her plan would work.
"I know this might not be the best time, but my name is Auburn, Wynter" he said in an oddly calm voice. He had sorted his head out and was ready for whatever was going to happen. His backpack pressed up onto his back squishing whatever was in there. Unfortuanately, nothing useful was in the pack to help them right now.
"I saw about four or five, but I locked two in a room all the way on the other side. I don't know how long they are going to be there, but if your plan works, I swear, I'll kiss the both of you" he said with a little smile.

Wynter thought for a moment before saying, “We can get two underneath the door but that third one will be tricky. As soon as we get the door down we’re going to have to run like hell. You’ll have to save that kiss for later . . .”
Wynter busied herself taking the hinge-nails out of the top and bottom hinges, saving the center one for last. While she did so she thought about the company she was in. The boy had said his name was Auburn, but the other older one remained silent. Her thoughts strayed a bit to what she would tell the two once they were away from the quigs. It was going to be a long discussion. She worried about finding Bobby. What of she couldn’t? What if he was on another territory? What if he was no longer alive? The last thought made her shiver and she concentrated more on pulling the bottom nail out.
“Alright,” Wynter said, “When I say three, push on the door as hard as you can and jump on it to push the quigs on the other side down. Got it? . . . One . . .” Wynter loosened the nail a bit and readied herself to pull it out, “. . . Two . . .” She pushed on the door harder and took the nail between her fingers. This was it.
“. . . Three!”

Auburn listened intently on the countdown and on three he pushed down on the door almost falling over it. He could hear the dogs get crushed. Right then, he remembered that he was the only one who knew the way out of here. He grabbed Hezex's hand and ran. It was the one thing he was really good at.
"Follow me!" Auburn yelled to Wynter. He would grab her hand too, but he only had one good arm right now, so she was out of luck. Wow Auburn thought to himself, he actually had more purpose in his life, he was saving two people. If it weren't for the life threatning situation, he would say all this was actually fun. He dashed forward and not soon after he did, the huge dogs, or "quigs" as Wynter called them, that they had crushed, shrugged off the door and started after them. That wasn't even the worst part. The dogs he had locked on the other side had just broken through the door and were coming at them. Even worse, his energy burst was going bye-bye. He was scared stiff. He didn't move and looked both ways seeing certain doom. He knew they all couldn't outrun the "quigs" to the hallway, it was impossible. This was the end...

Wynter, a bit surprised by Hexez’s actions followed as best she could. She was a decent runner, and the adrenaline was definitely helping, but there were still two quigs running behind them. This wasn’t good.
One of the quigs ran after Wynter. She was too busy trying to get away that she didn’t take notice to what happened to the other. The quig was fast. A little too fast for Wynter to stay ahead. She could feel it nipping at her heels and lunging at her but it always seemed to fall a few inches short. Then it didn’t.
The quig bit at Wynter’s pants, catching them on its teeth. It stopped suddenly tripping Wynter up and knocking her down. As soon as she had hit the ground the quig lunged at her. She threw her arm up to protect herself and the quig bit into it. She screamed in anguish as the quig tried bite at something else but kept biting her forearm. The quig soon found that someone’s foot going into its rib cage hurt.
It yelped and jumped back, giving Wynter enough time to sit up, but that’s all she got. The quig jumped back on her, biting her arm again. She gave another scream and kicked it again but it didn’t back off this time. Something poked the palm of her other hand and she looked to it quickly. It was the hinge-nail!
Wynter took the nail between her first two fingers, squeezing her hand into a fist. She gave the dog a mighty punch to the side of the head sending the nail through its thick scull. The dog released her arm and went limp, collapsing on top of her. She tried to push it off with her one good arm but couldn’t. That dog was heavy!
“Hey fatty,” She grunted, “Try to put off a few pounds, ay?”
With one strong push Wynter was able to get the dog off and get up. She heard a noise behind her. She froze thinking that the quig was still alive. The fact was, there was still one more quig left, and it was staring her straight in the face.

Auburn felt foolish. He just stood there while Hezex and Wynter were doing there best not to get theirselves killed and protecting him at the same time. He quickly snapped out of it when he saw that Hezex had just killed two quigs on his own and Wynter killed one. She was in trouble though. It took a moment for the idea to come into play, but he had to act quick. He had a lot of junk in his backpack and it was pretty good weight so he took it off and swung it at the dogs face, making it fly back yelping. He could hear stuff rattle and winced. He might have broken his prized CD player. Oh well, there was time to mourn for that later. Hezex seemed to be ok by himself so he grabbed Wynter's hand and helped her up. She looked pretty beaten up. At least she looks better than how I feel... Auburn thought to himself.
"So much for no hitches!" he said commenting his earlier comment about kissing them. "Follow me" he said. The backpack didn't have bricks or anything in it so that dog was still alive. He pulled Wynter along and with his bad arm pointed to the hallway up ahead.
"Turn right at the hallway and run up the stairs. Once we reach the top, we're going to have to make a mad dash to the fence!" he said taking quick breaths while running and talking at the same time. His body wasn't used to being beaten, but was instead used to running and workouts. He was still feeling the pain and tried to shake it off. His adrenaline wasn't exactly "kicking in". It was like his system was messed up or something.
