The sight seemed to rejuvenate Asiara, and she stood slowly before striding out of the former lake that had almost been, if not her actual death, at l...east her undoing. Shuddering, both from the cold and from what had nearly happened to her, she reached down for her weapons and strapped them around her waist. She saw her robe lying on the ground, but decided to ignore it. As her strength returned she was finding the cold less and less bothersome, and right now she wanted to feel the breeze – to. In fact, it was only after they'd shared the joint between them that Marla opened up at all. She pushed her hair off her face and smoked it in a very strange way, cupping her fist and holding it between her forefingers."That's all right, love," remarked Phillippa as the joint was passed to David. "We've not got Hepatitis or anything!" But you don't know if I might," remarked Marla with a smile. "Anyway, I like it cool. I don't smoke cigarettes, so the smoke hurts my lungs." It does me, too,". When we returned to the pod I tossed the pelts in and pulled out the first grate. It was noon when I answered my comm, "Gavin." We are almost there."I frowned and shifted, "only half the landing platform has grates." We have the second pod and your father said you need company."I growled before moving to the pod to grab the beacon, "follow the beacon."I switched it on and went to set it in the center of the platform. It was a few minutes before the transport slowly descended into the cleared. " Well actually love, we have," Jamie teased and Emma snorted."Yeah, I was hoping to have as much time to get away as possible," she told him. The road was eerily quiet and Oliver looked at her."This isn't the Manor," he told her. "This is, actually where is this?"Emma chortled to herself and crossed the country lane, pushing aside the branches of a tree in darkness by the side of the road and pushed the switch on her torch. "We are in the right place," she told him firmly and pulled herself up.
