Audry wasn't entirely convinced that leaving the new arrivals alone together was a good thing, but she had to give them a bit of space to see what they would do. There was no way that she could see what their true intentions were while they were under her eye. Luckily, she had quite a few eyes throughout the camp that would work for her on this - not that there was anyone who<i>wouldn't</i>come to her if they saw something suspicious.<br/><br/>Entering the tent and finding Ren with his nose in one of her books, she frowned. Taking a moment to ensure it was one of the books she found in the city and not her personal journal, she relaxed once she was certain he was not snooping in on anything too personal. Still, she crossed her arms and rose a brow. There were a lot of things she kept away from the citizens of the camp, and for someone still so new to the camp, it didn't look great on Ren to be so nosey. Then again...he was her best source of information since his arrival<i>because</i>of how quietly he was able to snoop.<br/><br/>"Find anything interesting?" She said, a little more bitter than she planned to sound. There were many items littered through her tent, but some items were incredibly important to her and dangerous for a demon to get their hands on - even if they were on the<i>good</i>side. "Please save the snooping for the others, Ren..." With a sigh, she sat down on her cot and picked up the book that Ren was looking at.<br/><br/>It was a battered, dirty old thing with the words on the cover barely legible -<i>Great Expectations. </i>With a small smile, her fingers moved over the cover, feeling the grooves of the words on the front and sighed. In another life, she would have collected such things, but they hardly helped her fight this fight and so she didn't hold on to such things. This one, though, was special. Her mother had given this to her. It had been her favorite, she'd said once, explaining the unparalleled faults of human nature.<i>'Keep this close with you, Audrey...Let it remind you of your humanity....' </i><br/><br/>Quietly, Audrey swallowed with difficulty and set the battered book aside. Turning her attention back to Ren, she nodded quietly and sighed. "Alright...." That was one word to describe them, but she had to agree. They didn't seem to be harmful, as bruised and beaten as they were. Her bold green eyes focused in on Ren as he spoke of the angel and sighed.<br/><br/>"What do you think of the Angel? I'm hesitant to allow him to stay...but I need him to...at least for now..." She hesitated to trust the Demon on much more for right now, but the words came out anyway. "Will you watch him for me? Make sure he stays out of trouble....I sense he may try and start some fights with our...non-human friends..." She shook her head and got up, following Ren out to where he stood, watching the water.<br/><br/>His last words left her with a bitter taste in her mouth.<i>Not trust the humans?</i>How could she<i>not?</i>That was what this whole fight was for! To allow humanity the chance to recover and take back their lives. To not be tortured into subservience and humiliation any longer! If she began to not trust them...what would happen then? Would she turn against her own kind? That was beginning to sound more like the angels....<br/><br/>Audrey didn't look up as Ren disappeared into the trees and instead thought longer on their words together. Should she not trust humans so easily? It had now been proven many times that there were humans here who trusted demons, though those demons sympathized with their purpose - or at least aligned with their cause, wanting to return home themselves. Were there humans out there who would actively fight<i>against</i>them? Her mind tripped over those thoughts as she walked quietly down to the water's edge.<br/><br/>Slipping her boots off, Audrey rolled up her pants and waded into the cool water. This time of the evening in September left the water frigid and the cool touch bit at her skin. Still, she waded further in until the lake touched her knees. Leaning over a bit, her fingers grazed against the surface, watching the ripples run away from her in perfect circles. If she started to distrust humans, there was no way she could survive this - or help others to do so. Holding on to the hope and love of humanity was the one thing that kept her going. She had to fix this world - for her and her camp, for her friends, for the memory of her parents...<br/><br/>~!~<br/><br/>It wasn't until the sunset that Audrey found her way to the fire. By this point, the sun was long gone and the only light came from the rather large fire. There were quite a few people gathered around, sharing plates of fire-cooked meat around the circle surrounding the fire. There was chatter amongst the crowd and overall, the feeling in the air was of warmth and happiness.<br/><br/>This is why she loved the full moon so much. While they didn't always have the chance to celebrate like this, it was something she always tried to actively include in their lives. It helped the camp feel more like a community - a family - and Audrey found that to be very important. It kept their spirits up.<br/><br/>Looking around, she wondered if she would see their newbies around the group making friends, but got distracted when she saw Daniel. A small smile grew on her face. She had known Daniel for quite a number of years now and the recent disappearance of his sister had been very hard on him. She knew what it was like to lose someone you were so close to like that...Her memory floated back to her mother...her<i> father. </i>With another shaky breath, she pushed the thought away and wandered over to her friend, wrapping her arms around him, giving him a soft hug.<br/><br/>Daniel was now the closest thing she had to a family - to someone she knew would always be in her life - although she didn't like to think in such absolutes. Anything could happen at any time and there was no sense thinking someone would always be around, when they could be gone in the next second.<br/><br/>"Hey, you..."
