Darken used shadow travel to check around camp, but ended up with nothing every time. Eventually, she came to be at the bottom of the cliffs. Her search slowed her to a walk, but she was scared that the platinum blonde boy had already been caught by someone, so she sped up again. Soon, she heard someone singing Just Say Yes and immediately began humming along, following the sound to find out who it was. She saw the teen sitting against a tree and listened from the shadows, encasing herself in one so as not to be caught.

"Just say yes, coz Im aching and I know you are too, for the touch of your warm skin, as I breathe you in. I can feel your heart beat through my shirt. This was all I wanted, all I want, its all I want, its all I want, its all I want, its all I want. Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back, it's not a test, nor a trick of the mind, only love. Just say yes, coz Im aching and I know you are too, for the touch of your warm skin, as I breathe you in." Peyton sang quietly, his eyes closed and his arms wrapped around his chest. He finished the song and sighed, wiping his eyes and looking around.

Darken had hummed along with him the whole time he was singing. She figured out what to say and slipped a little ways back before releasing the shadow encasement. She jogged through the trees a little, towards Peyton and forgot a few times which way to go, cursing in Greek when she did. Eventually, she found him again and stopped to catch her breath for a second. "Don't run, please." she muttered to him. Over the years, the redhead had gotten used not to talking, mostly out of fear, and this had resulted in developing selective mutism, so she knew she had to limit her words and she could already feel her limit coming closer, quickly. She held her hand out to him and gave him a kind, somewhat hopeless, smile. "Friends?" she asked. She quickly backed it up with, "Just say yes, 'cause I'm aching and I know you are, too."

Peyton heard her voice and shot away from her, looking at her from behind three trees away. He watched her movements carefully after she asked him if he wanted to be friends with her. "How do I know your not going to use me as a distraction to get away from the bullies while they beat the living hell out of me?" He asked. "I lost the ability to trust people easily after I heard that people had set my apartment on fire, I hated going to the store, I felt like somebody was going to burn me alive. I was traumatized as a child after my mother had died. Tell me why I should trust you." Peyton stated, his voice as smooth as melted silver and as soft as a innocent child's.

Darken smiled a little and shoved her hands into her pockets. When she went to respond, her words came out in shattered fragments, so she clamped her mouth shut. Her time ran out, she couldn't explain anymore. She didn't want to know what he'd say when she couldn't respond properly. In fact, he'd probably think she couldn't come up with any good reasons and call her a fraud like everyone else had. She looked at him, hopelessly, with her hands covering her mouth and then stepped back. "I'm a runaway whom has a need for violence and loves the feel of a razor tearing her skin open to drive away the mental instability. I'm a selective mute who can barely speak for a minute straight without screwing up. All my friends abandoned me and bully me over the internet for being so selfish. My parents and brothers go on every news station once a week to continue the search for me, but I can't return home knowing I'd only cause them pain and trouble. I'm selfish and have no trust for anyone, but you and I are in the same position. Using you to get away from people wouldn't get me in a better position, they'd only hurt me worse for being even more stupid." she thought. Those words ran through her head, but she couldn't explain without her voice there so he could tell it was the truth. She'd only be able to tell him her reasons in broken fragments and that was no good. A sad smile grew on her face as the tears began to fall as she realized her awful reality. No one would ever be able to befriend her, they'd never believe her. Instead of staying to face him, she just turned around and ran, every will to go on in this life leaving her mind as complete and utter hopelessness filled her soul and heart.

Peyton watched her run away for a minute and went after her, taking a shortcut to intersect with the path she was following. He knew these woods by heart, every square foot of these woods Peyton knew. He ran and saw her running at an angle towards his path. He ran harder and shot out, grabbing her arm. Peyton looked at her with his deep chocolate eyes. The boy scanned the pain that laid within her eyes, then he pushed up her sleeve, with a gentle slide. Scars, arraying all up her arms, he then proceeded to run his hand over it, healing the scars. He had some healing powers he had inherited from his father, his father was many things, but not the ability to fend off people from bullying him. The boy watched as the scars faded from a darker color to the same skin color as her forearm. "I could try, but you might not want to be seen with the, 'Stupid Pill Popping Boy Whose Mother Died a Stupid Death Because She is Retarded Like Him'." The boy said softly, letting go of the other girls arms.

Darken wanted to end it once and for all, so she wouldn't be rejected by the only people who understood her. She kept up a sprint, but it seemed that someone had easily caught up to her when the bushes to her right began rustling. Then, a hand grabbed her and caused her to trip and stumble from the abrupt stop. As a reaction, she ripped her arm out of this person's and hit a tree. Her heart was racing out of fear and from the exercise that she'd just done, causing her breath to come out uneasily and her tears to stop falling. The person grabbed her arm again and she looked up at them, the tears starting up again when she realized who it was. Averting her eyes, she felt the sleeve of her jacket move and she bit her lip, her breath hitching as a result of the pain. Then, he moved his hand over them, making her want to scream in agony. Her eyes were shut tightly when he did the same with her other arm, the tears falling faster now. When he spoke, however, she opened one a little bit to show him she was listening, the other eye quickly following suit. She looked up at him again, her hair obscuring her vision. She slowly lifted one hand and held it out towards him, a smile beginning to develop on her face.

The boy watched her actions, he gently let her arm drop back to her side, he dusted his white shirt off and looked at her hand, wondering what she wanted him to do with it. Was there something on her hand that she wanted gone, a long forgotten scar that she hated? A partial part of burnt skin that made it ugly or something like that. The boy stared at her hand for more than a minute before the concept dawned on him. He started extending his hand out slowly, watching her hand carefully, to see if she was going to bring him down some way. He stopped suddenly, not sure if he should accept the gesture.

Darken sighed and waited as he moved his hand forth. Her patience grew thin rather quickly so she just grabbed his hand on her own and smiled at him. Finally, there was someone who was willing to hang out with her, even though she got bullied. After squeezing his hand lightly, she let go and stood up straight, pulling her hood over her head again. The shadow was cast over her face and the rest of the shadows covered her body, but, feeling bad about leaving Peyton behind, she grabbed the platinum blonde boy's arm and pulled him in with her, stepping out of the shadow near the cabins with him.

Peyton watched her put her hood up, feeling that she was getting ready to leave. He didn't mind, he wanted to be alone because he was shocked at this whole thing. He was thoroughly surprised when she pulled him through a shadow, the darkness enveloping him. The boy felt comfort in the shadows, as he often covered himself with them when he was hiding in the darkness. Then light flushed into his eyes and he felt panicked, then he looked around, seeing that they were behind the cabins. He looked at the girl and wondered what they were doing near the cabins.

Darken looked around a little bit. She looked back at him and gave him a small smile, letting go of his wrist. She gave him a two finger wave before walking towards the bonfire. The remarks that were shot at her fell on deaf ears as the girl shoved her hands into her pockets. She stopped, dug around for a few seconds before pulling up her hand with her middle finger raised, which she, fearlessly, showed to the group that was making snide comments about her. As a result, a few kids from that group started chasing her and she turned tai, taking off at a sprint. She had regretted flipping off the group the second after it had happened, and she really wished she hadn't at this point. Inwardly, she laughed at her stupidity and tried to duck into a shadow, but every time she tried, the group would be within arm's length of her, so she just kept running.

Peyton watched her walk away, still wondering why she brought him out of the place that was actually peaceful. He brought her back into the hellion's borders. The girl then proceeded to flip off the crowd of people that usually beat him up. Peyton was dumbfounded that she had the courage to do that. Then the chasing began, he sighed and shook his head, he didn't know if this friendship would bring him more pain or relief.

Darken laughed out loud, that entertained smile on her face as she ran through the camp. However, she didn't get far before one of the group caught her, delivering a pretty good punch to her stomach. She staggered back a little bit and got shoved onto the ground, almost instantly. Without much struggle, she easily got forced onto the solid dirt, someone kicking her in her stomach as she fell. She curled up and coughed, trying to get up. "You should learn to fight before picking one!" one of the guys snapped, kicking her side. Glaring at the ground, the crimson haired girl took the kicks and the punches, disgusted how they could use such malicious actions towards a woman.

Peyton was near where she was getting beaten to a pulp, behind a cabin and from the view of people. He put his palms together, light flicking out of his palms. He pulled his palms apart, light connecting in a stream from palm to palm. Then the light took form of the gold form of his shape shifting sword. He shot out of one side of the cabin, slicing and sliding, cutting tendons in their legs and slashing above their foreheads so blood got in their eyes and blinded them. When they were laying groaning on the ground, he shook his head and his sword flicked and faded away.

When Peyton had slashed her attacker's legs, Darken launched into action and swung her legs around to knock them off their feet. She ended up in a Spider-Man pose with one elbow resting on her knee while the other was on the ground to support her weight. She stood up and stalked over to the group, shoving her hands in her pockets. Waiting for them wipe the blood out of their eyes completely, she stood above them and watched until one person could see again. Then, she sprung over to them with inhuman speed and dragged him up, shoving him up against a tree. "Try it again, I dare you." she sneered. Her eyes had taken on a deep red color, though they hadn't been that way a few moments ago, and her voice was deep and gravelly. Upon seeing the guy's scared expression, she dropped him on the ground and backed up, quickly, and covered her mouth again. Shock enveloped her features and her eyes had gone back to a normal jade color. Tripping over one guy's ankle, the girl took off at a sprint to get away from the bloody scene, terrified of her actions.
