For those of you wondering what Steve is currently thinking.-------
this is all @ask-the-dweets fault
The fire flickered in Steve's face... he wrapped his arms around himself as he stared deep into it.. Where, were they... WHERE WERE THEY! He ran his hands through his hair frustrated as he asked himself the question that he had been asking since the Dwight trio had dissappeared a short while ago.. It had to have been weeks now.
Ever since their campfires had been merged he spent so much time with them, since their area was smaller than Steve's campfire it was more intimate. The survivors at his campfire sometimes came over when they wanted smaller more quieter vibe.
Where had they gone? They still existed otherwise why would there campfire still exist.. Right? That made some sort of logical sense. "Hey Steve... "
He looked up shivering, he missed cuddling with Elf they always were touching and snuggling and now... Standing in front of him was James Sunderland one of the people from his campfire.
"Are you okay?" he sat down next to him.
"I... "Steve looked really depressed "Where are they?"
James sighed and looked down. "I wish I could tell you... hey... maybe they escaped?" He tried to put a positive spin on them being missing.
"No... this ... this doesn't feel like that.. Somehow we would have known about that." Steve insists and shivers... "And I miss Elf... I miss my Stormcloud."
"You look like your freezing you should really come back to the main campfire it's warmer over there with the more people." James frowns..
"I ... Just want to be here..." Steve sighs.
"Fine.. here." James offers Steve his jacket..
"You don't have to." Steve frowns but takes the jacket and puts it on.
"Listen... your going to wear yourself out. We need you to be able to perform in trials." James sighs.
"I... I know.. but... Where are they?" he sounds frustrated and angry he just kind of bends over trying to fight back tears.
James scoots in closer and gives him an awkward side hug. "Were going to figure it out okay... I am sure we will. "
Steve breathes a sigh "Yeah... I just got..."
Suddenly a commotion bursts out at the other campfire.. "What? is going on over there..?" James exclaims as he sees movement coming to the Dwight's campfire.
Ash is approaching with Feng Min they both look upset. "Umm hey what's up?" James queries
"Well... I have some news... we know where Fancy is at least." Ash starts...
Steve's head pops up. "What? Where."
Feng shakes her head.. "It's not good.. it's bad.."
Steve freaks out "Are they.. is he dead? Like for real dead?"
"No... they aren't.. " Ash and Feng launch into a story about Fancy being the killer in one of their trials..
Steve digests this information. "So if he's a killer.."
Ash finishes. "They probably all are?" he sounds like he hopes that's not the truth.. but he's not sure.
"Good..." Steve says unsure.
"Good?" James tilts his head.
"They are still alive.. maybe we can fix this?" Steve said sounding compeletely insistant.
"I don't know I didn't get the feeling this is something you can just turn around.. Fancy... he was pretty messed up " Ash said.
"I don't care.. I have to try." Steve wasn't listening.
