Astrid, Forest
Astrid was lying on her back in her tent, staring at the wispy ceiling. A small wind blew, causing it to shudder a bit. Closing her eyes, she sat up slowly, exhaling a soft, shuddering breath. Astrid clutched her sleeping bag material under her, tensing up at the thought of going outside. Months. She's been here for months. No Sam, no Edilio, no Dekka...No Little Pete.
"Petey..." Astrid opened her eyes, staring at her tattered, faded shorts. She clutched them, running the fabric between her fingers. So rough...but withered. Sighing, Astrid stuffed her knife into her pocket point first for easy access. Shaking a few times to loosen herself up, she stepped out of her safe place and into the forest.
Absentmindedly, she walked toward the FAYZ wall and started scraping the grass and dirt hugging it's side. Digging slowly, she started at the opaque, cream colored electric barrier.
Suddenly, black. "AGH!"
Astrid jumped back, clutching her chest. Black. The wall. Was. Black. Squinting her eyes, she caught her breath before crawling back to it. Was it some kind of...Oil? Astrid gingerly touched the black part of the wall. "AH!" Her hand snapped back in pain, leaving a tiny red mark on her finger. Nope. Must be normal, then.
Putting her finger in her mouth, she set off to find some more berries.
Drake
Drake was sitting down in the grass, back settling on an oak tree trunk. He ran his tongue over his teeth as the metal melted away, watched as he tentacle arm grew to 15 feet. Patiently waiting, he stood up, back still leaning against the tree.
The Gaiaphage prodded his mind, but said nothing. It idled, thinking of what to do and when to do it. Drake was all ears, impatiently waiting for a quest, a errand...Something. He grumbled something inaudible, and thought about Astrid.
He knew where she was, but the Gaiaphage or Brittney would get in the way. Not now. No...He mustn't waste time.
Drake silently walked around the familiar trees and rocks, even familiar paw prints. He spotted the blonde girl and crouched behind a thick rock, looked over it's side. My, my...Perfect. No one around, so unsuspecting...
"AH!"
Drake jumped as Astrid shouted in pain from touching the FAYZ barrier. He was shaking a bit now, grin widening.
He could make her scream louder than that! Make her twist and bend. Make her cry and scream for mercy, begging him to stop, offering anything for the game to stop...
Drake's whip hand twitched at that. He couldn't wait any longer, he had to play the game now!
"SURPRISE!" Drake leaped from behind the rock, tackling Astrid to the ground. They skidded a bit, and Drake quickly started to restrain her. he straddled her as he did to all of his victims.
Grabbing her small wrists in his hands, Drake smiled at her, leaning in so close that their foreheads touched.
"You're mine now~"
