"What are you guys doing here?" Abbie asked, looking at Zip and Edward. "We were nearby and we saw a group of puppets arrive here, we were curious." Edward said, looking at Abbie and then at the others. "We have a camp in the forest, as far as we know, no puppets go in there." He continued, "if you want, we can take you there." Zip chimed in. This wasnt like them, helping people. "We'd like that, but why are you helping us?" Bubble decided to ask, curious. "Change of heart, maybe.. we haven't seen Oliver since this started, we think he might be dead, or worse. So, we need friends to atleast attempt revenge.." Edward said.

Eventually the two would take the group to the forest, managing to avoid Puppets due to the raid on the settlement they were just at. It would take about an hour to reach their camp. It was small, with just a few cabins since this was literally an old camp. "Huh, neat.." Miss thavel would decide to say. It was likely the best shelter they would get, so none of them could really complain. "Okayy, the cabins all have beds, about four in each, so, go ahead and make yourself comfortable. To the best of your ability, anyways.." Edward said. With that, the group would walk into the cabins. Abbie would sit down on one of the beds. They were decent, not exactly comfortable but you could sleep on them. "Good thing Zip and Edward found us, hm?" Abbie said to Bubble, who was also in the cabin. "Yeah, we'd probably be dead by now.." Bubble said, looking at Abbie. She had a sad look in her eyes. "What's wrong..?" Abbie would ask, noticing the sad look in her eyes. "I dont know if my family is okay.." Bubble said. "I dont know if they made it out or not," she began to look at the floor, tearing up. The thought of her parents being dead was not a welcome one, obviously. The reality of it didnt sit well with Abbie.

"I'm sure they are fine, Bubble.. if they are anything like you, i know they made it out." Abbie said, trying to comfort her. He did not have a single clue as to what to do to comfort people. Bubble wouldnt respond, but she did look a little better.

Abbie would sigh, deciding to exit the cabin. "I'm gonna go get some air.." he said, walking out the cabin. He would go to the outer edge of the Camp, before leaving the camp to explore the forest. He was planning on coming back, dont worry. Abbie eventually found a big ol' rock, basically wedged into the ground. Now, this rock was  huge, legit a boulder.  Abbie would decide to climb onto it, struggling a bit as he climbed. He eventually got on top the boulder, looking around at the land around him after getting on the rock. He would spot a mysterious figure move behind a tree, and his eyes would widen. "What the?" He said, confused and a little scared. Suddenly a cold hand would touch his shoulder, and it would make Abbie jump "Jesus christ!" Abbie said, turning to look at who touched him. It was Alice! She would laugh at his fear. "Hello, Abbie." Alice said, smirking. "You..! You destroyed that settlement!" Abbie said, grabbing his knife from his pocket. He was rightfully pissed off. "Oh, please. Who else would have?" Alice said. "I did say i like toying with my victims.. that was a show that anything good can be lost just like that, in my world.." Abbie would clench his teeth, his eyes narrowing. "What? You gonna cry?" Alice said, laughing. Abbie would punch her in the face, knocking Alice back a step. "Hahahaha, you did not just do that." Alice would look at Abbie in a much more serious look, now actually gonna kick his ass. "Im gonna make you pay for those deaths!" Abbie said, he wasnt very confident, but he was very angry. "Heh, please." Alice would return the favor, punching Abbie square in the face, making him fall backward. "Ack!-" Abbie made a sound of pain as her fist collided with his face. Alice had given him a black eye. "Since you wanna stand up for yourself, ill put you in your place!" Alice said. Ill spare you the details, basically Alice proceeded to hurt Abbie. Alot. Afterward, Alice would stand over Abbie triumphantly. "Weakling." She said, before deciding to teleport away.

"Ugh.. fuck, ow.." Abbie would slowly get up. He was bleeding from his head, and he was bruised all over. He would try and carefully get off the rock, failing near the end and falling onto the grass, making his side light up in pain, making Abbie let out a yell of Pain. He would slowly get up, as his body trembled in pain. "I cant believe this, man.." he said, tearing up a bit due to the pain. The sun was setting, he had to get back to the camp, now.  He would eventually get up once again, leaning again the rock and panting.

Until someone approached him, casting a shadow on him.
