The Fantastic District 2

[missingllama]

Mark sighed. He tried to drag a box with a free hand behind his back while trying not to disturb Lorne. After a while he succeeded and leaned against the box to sleep, cradling Lorne in his arms. He closed his eyes and started breathing softly.

Lorne's eyes fluttered open in response to the sun beams shining through the barn window onto her face. She gulped, her throat feeling raw, and brushed her hands over her face. Her skin was crusty with blood, and she sat up sorely, just noticing Mark's presence under her.

Mark was dreaming about nothing at all.

[FloraFauna]

Lorne shuffled off of Mark who was sleeping peacefully, and tried to make her way to a bucket of rainwater quietly. She didn't dare try to walk, so instead she dragged her bruised body across the barn floor and washed her face and gulped down the decently clean water.

Mark started snoring, his head lopsided.

[FloraFauna]

Lorne flinched and turned to look at Mark, who had started to toss and turn. Her skin was now clean and free of her own dried blood, her visible wounds seemed to have healed well that night too. She scanned the room for Sophie, but her vision blurred at the thought of confronting her attacker. She sunk down to the floor and knocked over the bucket clumsily, making a loud noise. She had not collapsed into sleep like before, but laid there, staring at the ceiling as the dirty red-ish water spilled out onto the hay around her.

Eventually Mark woke up and sleepily sat up straighter against the box. He was barely conscious and still half-asleep, his vision blurry. He saw Lorne lying down somewhere a little ways off. "Lorne?" he said groggily, rubbing his eyes with the palm of his hands.

[FloraFauna]

"Morning," she rasped, trying at enthusiasm. She propped herself back up, now completely soaked in water and wheezed. "Where's Sophie?" she whispered curiously.

[missingllama]

"I dunno. Knocked out somewhere." Mark felt dizzy and his head pounded as he rubbed his eyes in an attempt to clear his head, but that only intensified the pain.

*Sophie lets out a loud moan from the other side of the barn as if to answer there question, she was tosssing and turning all night, her head throbbing with pain*
