when: day 19
where: the beach
who: @connellys
intially, nyla was determined to stay in the cave all day. she assumed that lex wouldn't have a hairbrush that would be able to fix her hair if the rain shrunk it or caused it to tangle. but then she did a headcount to feel productive. noticing that izzy, lex and divya were missing caused a shiver to run down her spine. what if the storm caused a tree to fall on one of them or they got swept away? she couldn't bare the guilt if there was another death that she failed to stop. she quickly glanced around the cave to see if anybody would notice her leaving. everyone seemed busy with their thoughts and glad that nyla wasn't making bitchy comments for once. she crept to the mouth of the cave with her jacket bundled up under the arm. when she got to the edge of the cave she placed her jacket over her head and tied the arms around her neck like a makeshift rain hat.
every step she took on the beach was uncertain but full of determination. she tried not to be slowed down by her feet sinking in the sand. she was hellbent on going back to the cave with at least one of the missing girls. "div! izzy! lex!" she repeatedly shouted as she walked. She knew her voice was probably going to be sore by the end of her search but she didn't care. she kept walking and fighting against the rain. she was relieved when she saw the vague shape of a kneeling person. it would be a tragically beautiful sight ,like something out a painting, if nyla wasn't worried sick. "what the fuck is wrong with you?" she shouted as she approached izzy. her worry coming out as anger. "i'm sorry. i shouldn't have said that." she apologised as she crouched down next to the blonde. "we need to go." she encouraged, softly pushing at izzy's shoulder. her eyes flicked from izzy to odessa's body.
