After several minutes of relaxing in the little pond, light flashed before Emery's eyelids and she lifted to see a thunderstorm raging above. She could barely hear or feel it being beside a roaring waterfall.<span style="font-style: italic">Better get out before I won't be able to</span>, she thought as she swam to the edge. After pulling herself out of the pond, she squinted her eyes to find her way by the radiance of the lightning. As she climbed the steep hill toward the top of the waterfall, she had to grasp at the weeds and dig her toes into the muddy ground. Her foot slid backwards once, but she quickly gouged the hill with her foot and leaned on her knee.<span style="font-style: italic">Dammit</span>, she thought with her heart beating against her chest.<br/><br/>Once she composed herself, Emery decided to crawl the rest of the way there. Water flowed against her hands and knees and rain speared her eyes, but she had more bodily support this way. Finally getting to the little path leading to the cave, she peered the edge for her clothes she left there. The clothes that were no longer there.<br/><br/>"Shit," she stated blatantly. She put her hand to her eyes and she muttered, "Bad,<span style="font-style: italic">bad</span>idea. Stupid!" With a huff, she got over it and approached the edge. That was when the sky emitted a roar so loud that the clouds shattered, shining blinding light through the cracks. Emery leaned against the stone wall and cursed the Gamemasters to hell. She was about to scream "Can't you bastards give me a break?" but decided against it after realizing the ridiculousness of such an idea. Within the pandemonium of thunders and rushing water, she heard her name. Whether it was imagined or not meant nothing to her when she saw that the cave was flooding.<br/><br/>She opened her mouth to call for Rye, but realized she didn't even know his name. "<span style="font-style: italic">Hey</span>!" she cried out instead. "I'm here!" Hugging the stone wall, she carefully advanced onto the ledge with her hands grasping for a protruding rock on the wall every step she took. Ignoring her nudity, she clung to the stone wall and edged herself into the cave's mouth. She saw a figure she presumed to be her ally and shouted, "Get your ass out of here!"
