Krystal moved back into camp, angry at herself, bu when she caught sight of their traveling companion she felt anger at him and Jessica rise once again. Why should she have to share her  sister with someone? They didn't need anything other than one another... did they? Glancing off toward Torrance, she noticed that he was pacing the campsite nervously, his pale eyes trained outward in the direction the sisters had gone off in to talk. In the direction that Jessica had disappeared in.

Whatever, she was off sulking. Let her! Krystal huffed and flopped down onto her bed roll, pulling the blankets around her as she turned her back on Torrance, ignoring the concerned look he sent her as she did so. She lay there, pretending to sleep, for what seemed forever until she actually did fall asleep. She woke to a none-too-gentle shake of her shoulders, and as she sat up quickly, one hand grasping for her machete, she found herself face to face with the young man.

The words struck her like a physical blow and she reeled back a step as he continued. "I like your sister, Krystal. A lot. Why do you want her to be alone forever?"

Unsure of how to answer, especially when she knew she didn't have a good answer except that she simply wanted to be the center of Jessica's attention, Krystal released Torrance's arm and turned her back on him with a huff. He mumbled something under his breath that she couldn't quite catch, but she felt him move away. In curiosity she turned to track him with her eyes and it was then that she realized that Jessica wasn't there. Her heart beat faster and she turned toward him on
