Rye picked his way carefully to the rocky shore of a rushing river. From his vantage point, he could see up that river to a waterfall. The rock formations were porous, suggesting that the ground beneath might be honeycombed with chambers. After studying the landscape, he leaped easily from rock to rock, in order to minimize his footprints. The roar of the waterfall made him uneasy because he couldn't hear if anyone was approaching, however, Rye thought he might find caves behind the falls. He had heard an old story about people who hid out in one once back before Panem was Panem. The idea of it had stuck in his head.<br/>~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Day Z lay back and watched Eden warily. He seemed nice but she knew everyone here was in a race to survive, He could kill her where she lay with that big hammer of his. She watched him as he sat quietly. Neither of them talked,<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Rye was rewarded with not just a cave but an entire system of caves behind the waterfall. He had killed two large spiders. Not large, tarantualas were large, these were some kind of mutts, and he didn't know exactly what they did, but they stayed dead when he killed them.  On his way back, he heard two girls talking, arguing, actually.<br/>"Theeta, if Stark said it, then just do it. If you whine one more time, I will kill you myself."<br/><br/>Rye ducked back behind a rock, watching them pass by. The one named Theeta was shoved toward the waterfall and the other one went farther away, back into the forest beyond, About the time the one close to the forest disappeared from view, Theeta rounded the boulder, startled by Rye. She opened her mouth to call out, with her hand on her knife, when Rye's throwing star found her throat, He picked her up and carried her to the cave behind the water fall to the chamber where he had found the mutt spiders. One came out, saw the body, squirted web around it and then drug it off into the darkness.<br/><br/>Rye hurried out, looked around, saw no one and eased himself into the river, He would swim below the surface as much as possible, allowing the swiftness of the torrent to speed his arrival back to his companions.
