Karma was slightly surprised that she had knocked Kai on the the flat of his back, especially since he had just got done sparing with DJ. Though she guessed he wouldn't suspect an attack from the side. She would of thought the sound of her feet racing towards them, would of alerted them, but again they weren't suspecting a attack. She stood back up quickly, a large grin plastered on her face as she wrapped DJ up into a tight bear hug. She could tell she had surprised them, even with her previous screeching. Her crystalline blue orbs ran down the length of Kai as she let DJ go, "Kai, your mouths open." She said jokingly as she heard the slight 'whew' as it left his lips.<br/><br/>She smiled up at DJ, the her head jerked to the side as noise from behind them came and she squinted her eyes to the light, as she saw a man. The man looked a mess as well as covered in paint. Her tongue slide between her teeth as she was on the verge to say his name, then it came out.<span style="font-style: italic">Jason.</span>It was more like the name was given to her more than her remembering. But she was to caught up in the moment to realize she was fed the information. His arms soon wrapped around her and she returned the tightness. Soon the sounds of high classy shoes on wooden planks sounded and she saw a nice looking retail suit and a man with ear length blond hair. This one she knew. The smile never fleeting from her face as she looked at all her friends.<br/><br/>After all these years, they all show up the exact day.<span style="font-style: italic">"How strange."</span>She thought than a chill ran up her spine, and from the corner of her eye she caught the makings of a bon-fire structure and her smile turned into a wicked grin. "Lets start a fire..." She said pulling out a thick silver lighter than rubbed the lid across her leg, igniting it and walked through the group of men and knelt down to grab a piece of kindling and began to set a fire. The glow from the flame made her face lite up and she felt real happiness for the first time in a long time.<br/><br/>*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*<br/><br/>The sun had sunken down below the lakes horizon line, and the large bon-fire that Karma had made was the only source of lite. It was all silent except for the sound of crackling wood and the flame licking across the air, up towards the heavens, a longing crept up on her and she felt like they were missing something..Something of the bigger picture of why they were<span style="font-style: italic">All</span>here.<br/><br/>She took a seat next to Kai rubbing her hands along her arms, trying to take in the warmth of the fire and listened to everyone as they told how they were do and what career choice they took in life. She remember they had a conversation when they were younger, all saying what they wanted to be and why. Karma took a path out of what she wanted, but was still doing something good and helping put bad guys away.<br/><br/>She smiled at them all as Jason finished about his life. He seemed semi not all there, but living in a large house, all alone will do that do ya. She looked around seeming as it had come to her, she wasn't one to brag about her personal life, but these were her friends, and would give them the benefit of the doubt of actually caring. She let out a sigh and looked into the fire.<br/><br/>"Well, I didn't go into the military, injury to the left knee during boot camp prevent that." She let out a mocking laugh as the memory of how the injury happened popped into her head. She was sparing with a male in another squad. It was routinely, it helped eased the anxiousness of battle, and for the men to try and establish their dominant do-minor over the females. She was kicking his ass so he decided to play dirty, kicked her legs out from under her, and purposely after she had her back on the ground, came and dislocated her knee in at least 3 places. She was in infirmary for a few weeks then rehab for months.<br/><br/>She came back to reality as she stared into the flame. The heat getting to her, she blinked a few times, let her head fall to gaze into her lap then glanced back at them, her orbs shining through her mop of hair, that she had let down awhile ago. "So now I'm a Corrections Officer. Living alone and waiting for the next big thing to present its self." She said her gaze back at the loving flame, as it beckoned her to come closer, a promise of a warm embrace.
