It was the middle of the night, possibly around 2 in the morning. Abigail wasn't sure. She was out in the forest, lying on the ground beside a camp-fire and it had a turning stick with a pot hanging from it which had water in it.
She had decided to go on this little camping adventure of hers for a little fun. She had a small tent fixed up as well and it had her basket inside it. Abigail obviously wasn't wearing her dress for this, she had on herself bib and brace denim overalls with a plaid shirt underneath. She decided to put out the fire and took the boiled water into the tent.
Setting it down, she looked around in her basket and took out a book and started reading as she laid down. From the way she left the fire, it looked as if the camp was now deserted.

Rhoda was walking through the woods trying to find her way out. She got lost a while back and didn't know what time it was.

After a while, she found what appeared to be a deserted camp "Hello?" she called out to see if anyone was there.

A shadow flitted from tree to tree just beyond the camp. It had been watching for a while now, waiting for it's occupant to retire for the night. It was just about to approach to peruse the site when a voice called out. Quickly, the shadow retreated back behind a tree to watch.

Abigail's attention was quickly grabbed by a familiar voice she had heard, but she was still a little cautious.

She put the book down and got up onto all fours, then slowly sticking her head out of the tent.

"Yes? Who is it?" Abigail looked around but it was very dark. She was also hearing some strange rustling noises throughout the night which were worrying her.

"Abigail?" Rhoda said after hearing a familar voice "It's me Rhoda." she replied.

watching from behind the trees, the shadow silently moved around the campsite for a better view of the newcomer. With his attention now focused on two people, the figure misjudged his footign and stood on a twig causing a sharp snappign sound to wash over the area. Holdign his breath and freezing, the shadow waited. hoping the two females would think it just wildlife stumbling about in the night.

Abigail went back into the tent, she fetched a lantern she had sat beside her while she was reading and crawled out of the tent. She held it up and searched around for Rhoda, upon spotting her she smiled and waked. "Oh, Rhoda, it is you. Sorry. What are you doing out here?" Then Abigail looked around after hearing a snap. "Darned ferals. They've been keeping me up all night."

"They've been out a lot lately. But I was wandering around and kinda got lost." Rhoda said rubbing the back of her head.

"Oh, well we aren't to far from Bon Bon, but you're very lost if you made it this way without knowing." She tutted almost disapprovingly to Mayfield. "But you're welcomed to stay a while, let me just light up the fire again and I can make some tea."

The shadow silently sighed and continued to watch. He eyed the tent, wondering what items lay inside that he could sell.

'At least if there's nothing of value to sell, I can always enjoy the company of one of those lovely ladies,' the shaodw thought to himself, eyeing the two girls greedily.

"Hey! I didn't mean to get lost." Rhoda said putting her arm down "Some tea would be nice thank you." she said with a smile.
(why do I feel Grace would have been better suited for the upcoming situation)

Abigail smiled. "Great! Hold this please." She passed the lantern to Rhoda and started to fish around in her overall pockets. After a little bit, she pulled out a box of matches and too one out. Abigail approached the camp-fire and struck the match on one of the rocks she had used to build it. After it lit, she threw it onto the wood which was still good enough for another lighting. The fire blazed and gave off plenty of heat and light, it made their shadows jump around so that it was almost creepy.

"Oh and forgive the farm-like outfit, I didn't want to ruin any of my dresses out here." She patted the denim overalls and set her sights to the tent, grabbing the pot of water and some mugs and lea bags from her basket. Emerging again she hung the pout on the turning stick and placed it atop the flames. "It will be a little while for it to boil." Abigail then sat down on the grassy ground and sighed.

Rhoda held the lanturn and sat down next to Abigail after she started the fire "No problem, I think you still look great." she said hearing Abigail sigh "Something wrong?" she asked.

The shadow watched as the two females sat at the new fire. He carefully looked them over, taking notice of their clothing and the figure that resided beneath.

'Well, I'm not goign to stand around back here any longer,' the shadow thought. As thoughts of what he'd like to do to the lovely pair of ladies, the figure behind the trees moved silently around to a small trail that led into the light of the fire.

"Evening, ladies," Thomas said as he casually strolled into view. "Mind if I join you?"

(hate to post and run... but i gotta post and run.)

"Hmm? Oh, that was just a sigh of relief. It's good to have some company." Abigail then leaned forward and warmed her hands. "It's a bit scary out here, But I like how it brings back memories."

Then Abigail turned quickly to see a big rat strolling toward them. "Gosh, you gave me quite a fright! Of course, join us."

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 21 May 2010 Posts: 11790

"Yeah, te woods can be quite nice at times." Rhoda said before looking back at a large rat coming out of the trees "Oh, by all means."

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

Thomas settled down next to Rhoda, his eyes lingering on her figure for a brief, hungering moment.

"You know, you lovely ladies really shouldn't be out here alone," Thomas said slyly, "it can be dangerous," his mouth twisted with a slight smirk as he said that last part.

kyle walked through the bushes enjoying his nightly walk and noticed Rhoda and Abigail. 'Ohh hello ladies i didn't know you where gonna go camping here abigail or i would have changed my route. He looked at the rat"Hello sir and who might you be?'

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

Thomas scowled for a split second at the appearnce of Kyle then stood up and smiled, extending his hand in greeting.

"Name's Thomas. You?" The rat briefly looked over the other male, sizing him up in case violence came about.

"Oh it's kind of you to worry, but I think we're safe enough." Abigail chuckled a little bit and then looked in the direction of where Kyle had now emerged.
"Hello Mr. Stingray!" She didn't stand up but she raised one arm and waved.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

Kyle shock the rats Hand squezzing it Hard to test the rats strength" My Name is Kyle Jack Stingray. Im the town pschiatrist its a pleasure to meet you Thomas."

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

Thomas squeezed back, equalling Kyle's strength then sat down, keeping an eye on him.

Abigail watched the two unknowingly and took the pot from the turning stick.

"Would either of you like some tea?"

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

Abigail went back into the tent briefly, retrieving her basket and fringing it out.
As she prepared the tea she looked to the rat. "Have I seen you before?" She asked.

Rhoda was sitting down starring at the fire, occasionally tossing in a leaf or two.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

"I don't know," Thomas replied to Abigails inquiry. "Have you?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Jun 2010 Posts: 1673

"I'm sorry, I was a little to modest wasn't I. I think I recognise your face but I can't quite lay my finger upon it."

Abigail finishes making the tea and starts to hand it out to everyone.

"Don't finish the cup, or you'll get a mouthful of those tea leaves."

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 12351

Thomas politely lifted his hand. "None for me, I've never had a taste for tea," he said. When he lowered his hand again, he rested it gently, seemingly absently, in Rhoda's leg.
