Quickly looking towards the cave entrance, his eyes saw nothing in front of the doorway. Crouching down, Jared moved a little closer to the entrance, hoping to see a sign of who was out there. It had sounded like a woman's voice, but the cave was certain to do odd things to regular noises.<br/><br/><strong>"Who's there? Show yourself. What do you mean the others that crashed with me? I fell out of the plane before it did crash. Surely anyone I was with is dead by now..."</strong> Was it possible that his companions had survived? It seemed unlikely, but then again he'd survived with only some bruisings. His clothing had seen better days though, as the branches had ripped and torn long gashes in his pants and shirt. <br/><br/>Staying crouched low to the ground, Jared tried to remember all he'd been taught in the jujitsu classes he'd taken as a young med student. It'd been years since he'd practiced regularly, but hoped that enough was retained in his mind to protect himself should someone come after him. <strong>"Who are you?"</strong> he repeated once more. <strong>"What's your name?"</strong><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>Emily stayed back, not letting him see her.  She grabbed a rock, just in case he would attack her. "I'm not coming around, " she continued in her soft tone. "You come out here, and I will take you to your friends." Emily wasn't budging, but by the tone of her voice he would be able to tell she wasn't any type of threat. She peeked around, just briefly, but couldn't see him. She didn't know he was crouched down. He could have taken her down if he wanted to in that position. "Please, just come out, I promise I won't do anything to harm you. Just come out of my cave." Emily's tone was almost pleading now. She liked her privacy. and he was invading in on it. Hopefully he would trust her and just come out and let her take him away from here.
