29 : The Plan Begins

Hecate laid Yasmina down, letting her lean against her as she slowly sat. Walking so much put unneeded pressure on her injured leg and fresh blood has already begun sleeping through the bandages.

She watches over the two of them. Mae, who stills sleeps, moving every so often or making a few noises of pain when she wakes up for a moment before falling back unconscious. And then Yaz, who disassociated after her panic attack earlier before falling asleep, which is expected. Honestly, Hecate is surprised the others haven't experienced the same. Everything that they experienced on the island surely gave them all PTSD. At least she knows it gave her and her girlfriend some.

Hecate gently maneuvers Yaz so she's lying on the ground and not Hecate when she feels her stomach tighten up like before. She pushes herself up and hobbles to the outside of the area, away from the other two, before puking once again.

"Ugh," she groans, wiping her mouth after a few minutes. Hecate scrunches her nose at the smell of her stomach's previous contents mixed with blood on the ground in front of her. At least it was less blood this time. The relief that floods her body at the thought makes her laugh coldly. She sits back down after making her way back to Yaz.

Exhaustion settles over her features and she sighs roughly, wanting nothing more than to close her eyes and sleep. As much as she wants to, Hecate can't, she has to look over Yasmina and Mae. If something happened to them while she slept, she'd never forgive herself.

She sighs again, thoughts drifting to whatever the others are doing. If they had taken care of that single velociraptor, she wouldn't have to worry about staying awake as much. Shit, almost a year on that island and it's like they've learned nothing, even Yaz, though Hecate won't ever blame her for that. The others on the other hand... they just piss her off, especially Darius. Fucking prick.

An explosion in the distance makes the ground tremble. Hecate flinches at the sound, clenching her teeth in irritation. What now? Not once moment of peace here, god, if only she could go back to Isla Nublar. Everything was always much easier there for her.

Yasmina grumbles from beside her, stirring after a moment. She leans up, rubbing tired eyes with a confused expression, "What was that sound?" she asks after taking in her surroundings.

Hecate shrugs. She raises a hand to cup Yaz's cheek for a second, wiping away a smudge of dirt on her cheek before pulling her forward. The trackstar happily moves forward into her embrace, one hand keeping her from tumbling so she doesn't hurt Hecate's thigh, "Are you okay?" She asks after pulling away, eyes darting down to the bloody bandages, "You basically had to carry me back..."

"I'm okay," Hecate replies, "Despite how much blood I've lost, I haven't felt light-headed like I should. Probably something to do with the puking-up-blood stuff, beats me though."

"Oh.. Does it hurt?"

Hecate nods, "A bit, but I've felt worse, nothing I can't deal with."

"You shouldn't have to deal with it though," Yasmina replies while frowning, "Besides, knowing that you've been in more pain than this isn't very reassuring. I don't like when you're hurting, Hecate."

"Trust me, I don't like it either," Hectae chuckles before exhaling hard, "Anyway, I've been thinking and I think we should move Mae back to her cave house thing. It'd be a lot more safer and sanitary than on the dirty ground like this."

"What if Kash goes back?" Yaz replies.

She shrugs again, "I guess one of us will have to stay behind. I know I can protect myself against him or a BRAD, and I'm sure you can too." Her next words words are cut off by the other's running back, the group panting and looking more disheveled than when they left a few hours before, "Ya'll look like shit."
