"it's not hard at all, i just had a few curious questions i wanted to ask" he replied. he continued laying down and looking straight up. "and can you drop the spiteful attitude? i haven't done a single thing to you to get treated this way, I've been nothing but nice and trying to make a friend when originally you where the one that first talked to me trying to make a friend" he said in more of an annoyed tone

"Yeah? That was before you and what's his face, Colin, blew up on me. I just told you facts, and you both flipped on me. Exhibit A of why I don't like people. I was going to try and give them another chance, now that we're on earth and all. You two killed that chance." Reese snapped, glaring at him. Her distraction caused yet another shock, drawing another pain-filled yelp from her and a pissed sounding curse. She stuck her hand back into the water, looking furious at both him and the burn.

he looked at her confused, "what? i never blew up at all, i tried to defend you" he replied getting upset and angry for being accused of something he didn't do. "after you and Colin had your little spat i tried to chime in and help defend your reasons of not wanting to be leader but you bolted before o could" he said, his tone getting louder.

"I told you. I don't like people. You're lucky I was around any of you in the first place. People who are shouting at me, hating me? And you really thought I'd stick around to wait for more of it?" Reese hissed, rubbing her burn mark lightly with her palm. She kicked the culprit of her burns into her bag with disgust, glaring at him furiously. She did not like confrontation.

he sat up now and looked at her, "and when have i ever showed you hatred?" he asked her, "everything that happened was nothing but a huge misunderstanding, i don't hate you or dislike you. i haven't tried or wanted to show hatred not once, your just seeing it that way and taking your anger out on the only person that's actually coming to you with friendship" he told her, his voice and tone slowly getting more calm and normal.

"Oh. Well excuse me for not believing you. Lying has always been the way, and it's just worse down here. I can take out my anger on whoever the hell I want to." Reese snarled at him, crossing her arms. Before she could say anything else, she turned at a faint rustling sound, eyes narrowing suspiciously. "Really, Colin?" She snapped furiously, glaring at the rustling. In answer, there was an echoing growl that rolled through the clearing and chilled Reese to the bone. Oops. "Run." She ordered lowly. "Now." Before she could do anything, a long, sleek panther lunged out at them. Reese didn't even have the time to guess that it had been drawn in by the smell of the fish before it's teeth were in her shoulder, tugging her backwards. Back into the woods. She screamed, terrified and in pain, but what could one human girl do against a freaking panther?

Jai was surprised out of his mind and struck with fear at what just happened, he quickly hopped up and grabbed his things, "helped!" he shouted to the others but after a few moments nobody came.

He gulped heavily and held his spear, since nobody was coming he decided to make a run for her and save her. He raised up his spear and made a mad dash forward following the dragging marks the panther made, after a few moments of running he found them and he threw his spear at the panther without a second thought.

Though Reese did her best to escape, there was no way she could do it weaponless and she knew it. Unfortunately, her struggling and the tugging only tore the wound deeper, drawing another shriek from the formerly-independent girl. She was fully expecting to die, and practically had a heart attack when the spear flew forward toward them.

The panther's pained yowl dislodged the teeth, and Reese instantly scrambled away, panting and almost crying. The cat growled again, but limped off with the spear still imbedded in it's upper thigh. Sprawled out flat on her back, Reese had no strong desire to move. Blood was gushing from her shoulder, but she didn't move to stop it.

Jai heard Colin and without argue rushed over to Reese, he stopped next to her and crouched down to her level. "come on before it comes back, can you move?" he said all in a hurry, the adrenalin rushing through him.

as he was asking her the question he was looking around to make sure it wouldn't sneak up on them again.

Reese stumbled to her feet, cursing slightly. "Hurts like a bitch but it's not my leg. I can walk just fine." She hissed out through ground teeth, leaning against a tree with her uninjured shoulder. "Come on Colin, we don't have to be a hero you idiot!" She called, gritting her teeth against the pain. She held the elbow of her injured shoulder up to help relieve the pressure, but it was still the most painful thing ever. Or close. "Come on. We have to get back."

Jai got up and followed her, "right" he mumbled as he still kept his eyes open on the look out. he kept a steady brisk pace of a jog but didn't go to far ahead of Reese in case she needed help but, he didn't expect her to and even if she did he had a heavy feeling she wouldn't tell him.

he could see the drop ship a few trees away and was glad for that, slowing his pace for the two to catch up.

Tabitha stepped on the ground and breathed in the fresh air. She hasn't been able to breathe in the air because of her asthma. She happy to be able to breathe on earth. She could be free.

"I could have told you what it's claws were like." Reese snapped, suppressing a slight shudder. Nope. Way, way too much weakness already. She was not about to show anymore. "You wanna see it's teeth?" She tossed back over her shoulder, putting a hand on a tree and leaning on it heavily as she waited. "The skin and stuff would probably be useful. Spears from teeth and claws. If you need help carrying it, just leave it and I can send a group to get it." She said, glancing at the 150 animal.

Jai looked back and saw that the animal had been killed, he sighed a deep sigh of relief and turned around to go back to it. once he got back to it he saw his spear was still in it's hip so he grabbed ahold of it and violently ripped it out of it.

"if you need help carrying it i can help" he said to Colin as he continued looking at the beast, examining it.

He nodded and walked over to a tree to see if he could find some vines that were strong enough to hold it, after a good search from one tree to the next he found some but not a lot of them and hoped Colin found enough on his his end to finish the job so he headed back.

once he got back to the Panther he called out to Colin, "okay i found some on my end, now lets just hope it doesn't break, the vines or the spear" he said to him as he started tying the back legs together.

He nodded, "i made it myself, found the branch in that glowing forest and sharpened a piece of metal and added it on top" he said as he put it in between the panthers legs.

"as for her, im not sure. i dont know why people tried making her a leader and i dont know why she's always so angry, but i figure it's her past and she projects anger from it at people because she feels she can" he answered. "but it doesn't matter"

He nodded, "yeah i agree too" he said as they walked, carrying the beast back to camp. once they got to where the entrance of the camp was he stopped and whistled to Colin, "Hey are we sharing this with everyone or are we eating it ourselves?" he asked him, wondering what he personally was planned on doing with it.

"And I didn't say I wanted to, Colin." Reese called, having paused once again to take a breather. She wasn't deaf though, and had caught all the other things they had said. But she didn't mention it, and her gaze was unreadable as she looked back at them. "Use the panther pelt for a blanket or something. Make spears and daggers from te claws and teeth to share. I would like a tooth spear." she smiled a fraction, then continued, "If you don't want to give me anything else, then who am I to make you?" a sharp edge entering her voice that wa more defensive than anything else.

Jai sat his end down and sighed, "alright, that settles it, it'll be shared between the three of us" he said as he took out a small knife and started on declawing it and taking out it's teeth. he figured if they were going to divide them evenly it would be best to get a estimated number of them.

"And first off Reese i don't like being ordered around, you said yourself that you like to be or want to a leader so stop barking orders like your some queen and we have to fall in line" he snapped, not taking her ordering, glares and bad attitude too nicely.

after that he finished and put them in three piles of four claws and twelve teeth each. he then took his share and looked at Colin, "are you going to skin him?" he asked, "because if not I'll be taking both of his back legs and some of his stomach for food. basically his entire backside" he clarified.

Jai nodded and got up, he walked to a tree and pulled off a bunch of large leafs and walked back to the cat. Once he got back he began cutting off both of it's back legs, making sure to drain as much blood out of them as he could and used the leafs to wrap them up.

Once that was over he started cutting up the backside into small and medium sections and wrapping those into leafs too, again draining as much blood as he possibly could. after he was done he loaded it all into his pack he carried especially for food, grabbed his spear and stood up.

"well, that's that" he said, his only concern was washing the blood off his hands now.

"Firstly, thank you Colin. The pelt would be nice. And working together is always appreciated." Reese smiled a fraction at him, completely polite and sincere as she spoke to him. "Second off..." She began, turning on Jai. "I've never ordered you around. I tried to be nice. And all I ended up with was you yelling at me about being a queen, when all I did was offer you food and get attacked by a panther."

She glared at him fiercely, folding her arms over her chest and using her shoulder to hold her up against the tree. "After I make sure I'm not going to die of infection, I'm leaving again. That should make you happy. So shut up about me trying to 'be a queen.' I'm tired of taking all of your shit about me ordering when I've done nothing but be nice to you and try and keep to myself. You think I'm bad, but you're the one running around accusing me o everything."

"what!?" he said, turning to her, "are you serious? you were the first one to start glaring and snapping at me because you thought i was being mean when i never was, and now your accusing me of of starting problems" he said angrily. he stood up and picked up all of his stuff, "you know what, im done, I've tried everything i could to make you see im on your side and want to be your friend but im tried of it!" he shouted.

after he shouted he turned around and walked off into the woods, not caring about anything or anyone, just wanting to get away from this. after he got a few yards away and stopped by a river he washed his hands and started shouting cusses.

he turned his head, ""WHAT!?" he shouted louder than he had before, he then turned his head back and rubbed his throat, the yelling was starting to take it toll on his throat. he again turned his head back to him, "what do you want Colin?" he asked him as he continued washing his hands.

"They won't listen to me anyway." Reese called after him, rolling her eyes before she started back toward the ship. Well this was fun. She snorted slightly, keeping her head ducked down as she weaved through the people. She made it back inside the ship, gritting her teeth.

After be finished washing his hands he looked at him again, "yeah your right, but i really don't care about any of that right now" he said as he dried off his hands and picked up his stuff.

"I'll just go off on my own and make it that way" he shrugged, "im not going to stay here and let someone boss me around, whether it's her or someone else. it's like i always say, nobody can lead me better than i can" he said and turned his back to him as he looked at the woods choosing a way to go first.

Jai didn't look back to him or even say anything back, he wasn't in a talking mood anymore, it's not like there was anyone to say goodbye to anyways. He watched the trees for a few more minutes and nodded when he decided on a way to go, he made sure all of his stuff was with him and in order and started walking away from the drop ship and into the woods
