She still wasn't sure that this was the best idea that they could have had. So far travelling from place to place without staying long, taking what they needed and discarding what they didn't, had been working...but was that only from sheer luck? And if so, how long could that luck possibly last?
As time went on it was becoming harder and harder to believe that they could possibly get out of this hot mess alive. Torn up tree's, boulders, shrapnel from destroyed vehicles....it all littered their path. The air was punctuated both by screams and roars, hisses and low growls. Every sound, every small movement in the bushes to either side...it had her cringing, her heartbeat pounding out a rapid rhythm in her chest.
Clutching her shotgun tight, she shot a look towards the other two women in the 4 wheeler. What she wouldn't give to be one of the passengers instead of the one walking right now.
Well...somebody had to do it.

Don't talk about luck, man. Luck was what got sour on a whimsy. No, they were there because they were determined to live, damn it.
Kiera wasn't a big fan of being the only on being the trio without a gun, but at least she had the four wheeler for protection. And that shotgun looked like it could have some nasty damage being shelled out. Still . . . She was moving them along as quietly as one could in a vehicle, sparsely chatting with their new passenger. Apparently the woman had confiscated something that might be of value to them . . .

So far things were quiet...relatively speaking. Quiet in that they weren't, at that immediate moment, being threatened by something big, dark, and gruesome. Not that all things that were dangerous had those particular traits or anything. No, she was sure a unicorn could do just as much to harm as a dragon.
Giving Kiera and Penelope another quick glance and a nod of her head, she continued to scout on ahead.

Still nothing. Kiera was nursing a quiet hope as she glanced around.
Kraken . . . God, they were going towards the kraken. She had warned the two of the dangers posed there, as even when under control she had personally not enjoyed being around it. Those long tentacles, the dank pool . . . Docile or not, being underwater was a secret fear of the lab tech's.
She nodded to Lydia in return and kept up, not liking to use her as a scout despite her . . . less than friendly introduction.

Lydia was trying very hard not to think about the kraken. One thing at a time. One step at a time. Cross that bridge when you get to it.
Speaking of crossing bridges, it would be a lot easier to cross it on wheels rather than by foot. A glimpse of metal shining in the bush had Lydia stopping, holding her hand up in a halting motion towards Kiera in her 4 wheeler.
Slowly creeping towards the bush, she took a moment to investigate, finding what appeared to be yet another 4-wheeler, and one that was in very good condition!
Climbing inside, she placed her items in the passenger seat, and then with a deep, steadying breath, she turned the key that was oh so conveniently in the ignition.
VROOOM
They were back in business!

Oh hell yes. Hell yes. Lydia was given a bright grin, one of the rarer moments of genuine elation Kiera had expressed since this trip began. "Atta girl! We're close to the place now, so keep at it."
Whatever decided Lydia needed to live was obviously on their side, and for once Kiera briefly became spiritual and thanked it.

Kiera was given a quick thumbs up back, a smile spreading across Lydia's face as she backed up the vehicle, then put it into drive, and pulled back out in front of the other woman.
Veering around any obstacles in their course, she kept on going, though at the moment her forehead was shiny with nervous perspiration.
"Almost there." She muttered under her breath. "Almost there."
Don't think about the kraken.

As they moved along quietly, Kiera wondered if Tooley and Nadya ever got that note. Or did someone else find it? God, was there anyone else? Penelope had been the first sign of life otherwise that they had seen since they escaped the Realms . . .
Whatever was watching out for them, she hoped it continued to keep them safe. Better yet, let Parable Pool not be overrun. She knew there was a hard area to access there, a privileged card thing that, if all went well, might continue leading them on the up and up.

They made it. A sign proclaimed them to have reached the "Parable Pool". If Lydia wasn't completely cried out at this point, there might have been tears of relief flowing down her cheeks. As it was, she just let out a long sigh and a silent prayer to whatever was out there and keeping them safe to this point....not that she was even in the slightest bit religious.
Continuing along the beaten path, her 4-wheeler bounced it's way towards it's destination.
((EXIT!))

Unscathed. For once unscathed.
Thus did Kiera decide, last minute, she was actually going to do more praying for once in her life. Maybe this was God's way of saying get your British arse over here.
Kiera couldn't suppress the laughter that bubbled out of her as Parable Pools loomed before them. Maybe it was going into the fire after leaving the frying pan, but God help her she wanted this moment to be one of hope and happiness.
