   "Ed are you sure you know where we're going?"
   "Yea, it's like, really close don't worry"
   "Why couldn't you just let Su lead us?"
   "Shut up I know what I'm doing"
    "Ed?"
    "Yea?"
    "WE'RE BACK WHERE WE STARTED. That's the note we left for Peter and Nia!"
     "Whoops, Ok maybe you should lead" The boy reluctantly handed the map over to his eldest sister.
    "Hey what's that over there?" Lucy pointed to something in the distance.
From what they could tell it looked like something leaning against a tree.
    Without waiting for the others, Lucy ran over to see what it is.
   "Guys! It's Peter and Nia!"
The two were exhausted and passed out by a tree shortly after escaping the cave.
   Ed kicked Peter in the arm "Yo get up"
   Peter woke with a start, his hand immediately reaching for his sword before he realized what was going on.
    "What are you guys still doing here? Weeks have gone by already."
    "Actually we only waited like 3 days before we decided to leave and that was like an hour ago.....we didn't get very far"
   "Yea because you're fucking incompetent" Susan rolled her eyes. Peter had a sudden look of confusion on his face, "No we spent at least 2 weeks down there"
    "No dude literally 2-3 days tops" Ed replied.
    "Maybe time's all messed up down there?" Enne offered,
    "Yea thats not the only thing that's messed up down there" He said cringing at the memory. He turned to the girl sleeping beside him, gently stroking her cheek he paused before making sure she still has a pulse. Enne noticed her friend and went to go sit by her side, looking over her many wounds.
    "What happened to you guys down there?" Lucy asked while she brought some of her healing potion to Nia's lips then offering some to her brother.
   Peter sighed as he took a sip, "We don't have time to go through that now, we have to keep moving"
    He got up, careful not to wake Nia as he looked around, "Ok it shouldn't take long to get the scrolls from the tombs, we can get it done it 2 hours tops. Lucy stay here with Nia, check her pulse every few minutes or so. The rest of us will go get the scrolls. Let's get this done as soon as possible so we can go home to fight more battles because that's our life now." Peter sighed, "I regret all the times I said I was bored before this shit" he muttered to himself.
   Peter crouched down beside Nia, taking her hand in his he checked for the pulse there making sure she was alright. "I'll be back soon" he whispered before kissing her wrist and leaning his forehead on hers. He sighed again and got up to get ready to leave.
    Enne and Edmund noticed this exchange and smirked at each other, Ed draped an arm over the girl's shoulders as they started walking. "I wonder what happened, Nia looks fucking dead."
   Enne smacked his chest, "Shut up and don't go asking Peter what happened either, he looks traumatized"
   The two looked over at Peter who lead the group forward at a fast pace, his face held a stoney expression from keeping his emotions in check.
     "Yea he looks like a bummer"
  Enne smiled lightly and rolled her eyes "Your empathy astounds me"
    She gently played with Ed's fingers of the hand that was resting on her shoulder, closing her eyes she leaned her head on his. Ed took notice of the girls sudden lack of energy and placed a light kiss to her forehead,
   "She'll be fine and everything will work out" He reassured her as they kept walking, "It always does"
