Ezmeralda woke up with sharp pains on her cheeks. She then realized she was sitting on the ground and leaning up against the cabin wall. There were snores from Robin who was asleep in the bed. Empty beer cans laid everywhere and Ezmeralda remembered what had happened.

She slowly got up and walked to the desk where a small mirror laid. She looked at herself and gasped. Two big bruises violated her pale skin and Ezmeralda frowned.

She looked sick and ill.

What was she going to do!?

She slowly walked to the door and opened it, looking back before leaving.

She quickly rushed to the medical cabin and knocked on the door. There was a second before Oliver opened it. He studied her face. "Ezmeralda- Did Robin do this to you-"

Ezmeralda opened her mouth to tell the truth, "No. I fell last night-" she lied. Ezmeralda couldn't tell the truth.

Oliver nodded but he knew that it was a lie. "You fell and hit yourself so hard with your own hands on both cheeks that it would bruise?"

"Sí. Yes. "

"Should I be concerned that your hands must have been swollen and bigger than usual?"

"No! You are imagining things!"

"Right- Get in here-"

Ezmeralda sat down in a chair and Oliver handed her an ice pack.

He couldn't understand why she was letting him do this to her. She seemed to be someone who won't stand to be treated like that. Its like Robin had a power over her.

Why couldn't she tell the truth!? The whole camp was there to protect her!

Thomas stood outside with Denton and Daylan. They were looking at damage from the rain last night and how to fix it.

"Shingles we need to re nail down- and we should pick up all these sticks-" Thomas stated. Denton nodded before looking down at his shoulder.

"So...."

"You don't have to do anything Denton-" Thomas giggled before blushing.

Denton smiled softly and blushed as well. "I mean I could help you-"

"Yeah-"

Daylan was distracted by Robin and Ezmeralda's cabin. There was always a bad energy around the place but today-

It was like a grey cloud sat directly above it for a reason.

He watched the door open and a clearly hungover Robin stumbled out. He tensed and looked at Thomas. "The doche is up and about" he muttered.

Thomas huffed in annoyance, "and then I bet anything he does Ez- Whatever- come on."

Denton and Thomas left by Daylan stayed where he was. Robin was looking for something and he looked pissed.

Daylan was going to go find Thomas and Denton but he stopped again.

"Where the fuck is she!? I'm going to kill that bitch-" Robin's voice hissed in the air. Barely audible.

Daylan frowned and marched right up to the asshole.

"What?"

Robin looked at Daylan, "You mean Pardon-"

Daylan shook his head, "No. I mean 'What' as in What is wrong with you!?" Daylan snapped. "You are standing there, threatening to kill your girlfriend because what!? She isn't where you can see her!? You are an abusive asshole! I know how to pick out people like you from any crowd. My dad-"
