Snake Will Pay (Soulie, wolfrunner, ~Erica~)

"How do you know 100% that it's a trap though?", Clara retorted, "What if there was a chance that there really was some kind of cure in the Capitol to help you?"

[soulie]

"If there is then cool but it doesn't change the fact that it's a trap. Think about it...if you went would Snake let you just walk in and take it then leave..no. He'll take you hostage which would cause Tiragan to go then Erica would follow and then I would and so on....now that you understand. I need to rest."

[wolfrunner]

Clara sighed but fell silent, nodding and leaving the room.

[~Erica~]

For the first time in a long while it seemed like there was really a spark of hope in Erica. She pressed her lips together tightly as Clara, Tiragan, and Sully half talked half fought. She refused to let Clara go, and if anyone went it would be her. But for now she said nothing and just watched, leaning back at against the wall. Clara left and then Tiragan went after her, but Erica stayed watching quietly for a few moments. "So we're just giving up on a cure then?" she asked in a soft, and yet assured tone. No more of the timidity that had been so prominent earlier.

Tiragan agreed with Sully, to him it sounded like a trap, there was nothing else it could possibly be. He ran after Clara and caught up with her, taking her hand in his. "Look, Clara, we'll think of something that won't involve anyone walking into a trap alright. We can't just go rushing off blindly into this, we gotta think it through first, make a plan."

[soulie]

"J...Just face it Erica. Your not stupid so why are you acting like it. Right now, Tiragan is the only one thinking right. Why would Snake? Snake wouldn't help us even if we held a gun to his head...because he's always got some plan. There probably is't a cure and if there is he would lead all of you into a trap and then kill everyone. This is why I didn't want you or them to know about it. I have thought it over and over again and I realized that there's no hope left and now....now I basically gone. I've never been this bad Erica and even if you did go....you could never get there and back with a well thought out plan. So...please just forget it all." He whispered.

"Sullivan.....why are you so stubborn. You know it's there and you know it works. Your just being being stubborn and most of all a scared little kid. You were always the strong one...always brave and now your just going to sink into a hole and give up.......you always said that the one thing you would never do was run away. You said that running away from your fears was the worst but thats what your doing. Your scared that your going to lose more of your family but when you die...your still losing them so whats the difference." He snapped before turning and making his way back to Arya and the kids.

[~Erica~]

Erica's jaw hardened stubbornly even before Sully finished talking. She wasn't going to give up on this even if he was. "I for one agree with Jet, you're just running away from it and that's not going to do any good. Don't give up hope yet Sully when you loose hope, then you've lost everything. But when you think everything is lost and it all looks dire and bleak, there's still hope." She paused a second and swallowed. "So don't give up, not like I did." She finished in a soft whisper. She knew that now, and it had taken far to long to learn that lesson. "And maybe you're right, maybe it is a trap, but you got me out of there so what's to say I won't find the cure? There is always a way. And there is always, always hope." Erica hoped Sully would really take what she was saying to heart, because she meant it. Every single word. She had lost hope and had stopped fighting, and it caused her nothing but heartache. But now she felt alive again, with something to reach for. Believing made a difference, a worth while one.

Arya was sitting at the table still, showing Cassie and Cody a game with some small pebbles she had collected from outside. (also known as Checkers or Chess.)

Clara stoped and sighed, clearing her head, "Yeah I know, I just got a little hot under the collar there for a minute. Sorry about that.", she appologized.

[soulie]

Sully sighed and gestured for her to come sit we him."please promise me you won't go and get hurt."

"hey there" he smiled and sat down next to. Her remaining quiet.

[wolfrunner]

Arya looked up when Jet sat down and smiled,"Hey, I was just teaching Cody and Cassie a game. Everything okay?"

Clara stoped and sighed, clearing her head, "Yeah I know, I just got a little hot under the collar there for a minute. Sorry about that.", she appologized.

Jet looked over and frowned. "Me and Arya are going to get something to eat. You two stay here ok." He looked to her and stood up heading to the kitchen across the room.
