Act 3: Part 5

Ryan

Ryan left Ray by the lave, only a little ways into the cave mouth he'd found coal. Deeper in he'd found a lot of Iron in the walls. 

"Ryan" Ray yelled back up, mining the last of the Iron he began to run back to the surface. He'd made sure not to go on any branching paths for his own safety. Ray needed him to see. He could see the man sitting next to the flow of lava waiting for him. 

"Find anything good?" 

"Iron, coal, no biggie"

"Coolio" Ray nodded slightly. 

"Should we look for our friends?" Ryan put a hand down to help the Puerto Rican up.  He stumbled to his feet even with help.

"Suppose so" Ray shrugged.

"Don't worry, i got you" Ryan didn't want to be super helpful at the risk of looking gay for his friend, but he did loop his arm with Ray's.

"Thanks man" The younger man smiled lightly in appreciation. 

"No Problem" Ryan returned the smile, They began to walk carefully of course. 

"I'm Worried" Ray spoke.

"Me too, They think we're dead. Gavin must feel awful"

"Wonder if Michael and him finally hooked up?"

"Michael died"

"What!?" Ray turned his head quickly to Ryan.

"Yah, Gavin killed him. During my derse visit a while ago i heard some one whispering to me about it." 

"Oh shit, Gavin must be torn inside" Ray shook his head.

"Don't worry Ray, We'll find everyone. Michael's got to be out there some where"

"Without his glasses" Ray added and Ryan laughed.

"Without his glasses" he nodded. 

"I didn't dream last night" Ray looked to him blindly. 

"Maybe we can't anymore"

"Of course i was super scared when you weren't there"

"Sorry, i should have waited. i just couldn't sleep"

"Its alright' Ryan guided Ray over rocks.

"Careful" Ryan swung the man over a log.

"Thanks Ryan" Ray smiled.

"Miss Karane?" Ryan piped up slightly.

"What? why would I?" Ray answers quickly.

"because you like her"

"Yah, i do" Ray flushes as he gives up. "Wonder if she misses me?" Ray tripped slightly, Ryan helped him stay up right.

"She might, you never know"

Ray only nodded, Ryan was more worried about the Brit. Rarely do people kill 3 other humans and remain mentally stable. Least of all 3 of your Friends, one being your love interest and best friend.
