Melanie hurried to meet inside the Main Hall. The other Raiders were supposed to meet each other there, as soon as it turned dark. The jeep would only hold so many, so not many could go. Then again, not many wanted to go anyway. Only the bravest requested assistance with the Raids.
She looked around, and, upon not spotting anybody yet, plopped down on the floor next to the cool cave wall. She was hot. The workday had been stressful, but the physical activity was nice. The Raid would be exciting--not to mention dangerous.

Ben walked into the main hall, Mel had told to meet there if he was going on the raid. Naturally Ben jumped at the opportunity to kick some Soul ass. The only other person in the hall at the time was Mel.
"Hay Mel," He said in a casual voice, "you ready for some raiding?. So how many his people are you expecting to show up?" He said. Ben got his dads old hunting rifle of his back. Ben prefered his Desert Eagle pistol, but the rifle was better for fighting multiple enemy's and that's what he was hoping to find. Loading it carefully Ben took aim and fired a few shots at a small hole in the wall, they all hit.

Wanda smiled gleefully knowing that they were finally getting out of the caves for a few weeks. She flinched slightly when she heard the gun go off as she walked into the Main Hall. She rolled her eyes at Ben and smiled at Mel, "hey," she said happily skipping over to her stopping in front of her with a last minute twirl. "Hey maybe the guys will let us go shopping for some new clothes. These ones are getting all raggy," she said pointing out the holes in her clothes and Mel's to make her point.
She looked over at Ben who has never gone on a Raid in the caves yet. They hadn't even needed to go on a raid since Ben got here, until now. Wanda knew who much Ben hated and distrusted Souls, she just hoped he would get mad at her for coming. Even though ever since Wanda was able to raid with the humans everything had become so much easier for everyone. No body was risking their lives so much anymore. Wanda mainly just shopped in the stores while the few humans that come with them hid out in the van. Though Mel usually shopped with her not scared of revealing her self while Wanda was there with her.

His bulk body came out from the tunnel leading straight to the Main hall, the place he wanted to go. Everyone heard the announcement that there was a raid tonight and obviously, Jared was coming. He didn't like it when Melanie went all by herself, even with other friends in the cave, like Wanda. Jared closed his eyes a few seconds, thinking to himself not to get worked up that Melanioe usually goes out shopping with Wanda, the thing he hates her doing. He doesn't want to lose her again.
When Jared looked around, his wet hair from hthe recent bath he had, flung water left and right. Seeing Melanie, little Wanda, and Ben, his put his shirt on that was hanging loosly from his neck. "Is this all that are coming?" Jared asked with a composed face. He wanted to get out there as soon as possible, wanting to making it home at dawn either tomorrow or tonight. He nodded to Ben and sat down next to Mel.

Wanda smiled happily as Jared walked in the Hall and sat next to Melanie. "Hello Jared," she said thinking have how much bigger he was than her in this body. She found her self staring at him for a few seconds. She looked at Mel again like it was nothing and asked Jared, "Do you think Mel and I could get some new clothes?" She didn't look at Jared again not wanting to stare at him like before. That was just plain embarrassing. She couldn't even bring her self to apologize to him, all she could do was hope he hadn't seen it.

Mel waved hello to everybody as they entered the Main Hall.
"I think there's around 10 of us... I'm not for sure."
Mel leaned her head against Jared, but blinked rapidly when a few drops of water fell on her nose. She looked up at his hair, which was wet.
Mel laughed and then turned back to Wanda.
"You're right, my clothes are a mess," she said as she help up her sleeve. It was blackened from catching it on fire the other day (she'd been too close to the oven for too long) and it had several holes in it.

Sky Fire was finally slightly more comfortable to walk around the caves, though being alone didn't thrill her so much. She walked into the Main Hall seeing Ben she was extremely about that. He was someone she knew. Trusted. Well as much as she could trust a human. Which was enough for her to run over to him. "Ben, I'm so glad I fou. . ." she stopped dead when she saw him holding the gun. She glued her mouth shut and just stared at the gun he was holding. Why did he have it. Was he going somewhere. She looked around the room and saw three others all looking as if they were waiting for something exciting. "What's going on?" She asked in a very small voice. She question was directed at Ben, the only person that she knew.

Melanie flickered her head to see Sky Fire. She looked scared at Ben's gun. Mel thought it was kick-ass, but she didn't say that out loud.
She hopped up on her feet.
"We're just going on a Raid... we'll be back in a few weeks, though," she explained, not wanting Sky Fire to be scared.

Jared rested his arm on Melanie's shoulder as she rested her head on his shoulder. It felt nice and Jared gave a quiet laugh as water trickled down to her nose. His laugh moved Mel up and down slightly. He turned to look at Wanda as he felt her staring at him, but when he looked, she was looking Mel so he blew it off, knowing it was nothing important. "Possibly if we are going to be on the road for a few weeks." Jareds voice grew sour at the end, but not so much, so if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't have noticed.
Melanie jumped to her feet, bring water from Jareds hair flying out in front of him, getting Wanda. Skyfire came in and saeemed to only address Ben, which didn't bother Jared. He only thought that she might want to know other people for resource uses. He pushed himself off the ground and looked around."Ben, put the gun away." Jared felt a little annoyed that he was scarring Skyfire without knowing it."We're about to leave now, in about a few minutes."

Reluctantly Ben put his gun back in the holster on his back, he hated taking orders from anyone especially Jared. What was wrong with him having a gun out?. And even worse Sky Fire was talking to him, didn't she realize he still hated her as much as all Souls?
"Oh well" He said to himself, "at least i get to hunt down a few Souls while on the raid.
Ben stood up from the rock he was sitting on and began pacing around the hall. Ignoring what Jared said, Ben got the rifle off his back again, mainly the show Jared he didn't care what orders were given.
(Again sorry its short, I've got writers block)

As Melanie was already standing, she looked around, and then to Jared.
"Is everyone here? Are we ready to go?"
Ben was still pacing, after reluctantly putting his gun away. Mel noticed the tension between Sky Fire and Ben, and wondered what happened there...
Where would they head first? Usually they got a little food, to eat on the trip, and then last got the stock food to store back here. They didn't want the food to spoil.
Mel was happy about seeing the real stars, and breathing real desert air, and being able to run where she didn't have to stop in order to avoid a cave wall.
She waited for a response.

Sky Fire let out a small squeak of terror when Mel said they were going into the outside world. Sky Fire might not have liked the caves very much but she didn't like the fact that the humans were going out and risking their lives either. Especially Ben. She didn't know why she cared so much if he was hurt or not. He didn't even like her. She glanced at Jared who told Ben to put his gun away, she smiled slightly at him before staring at Ben again. She was a little mortified when he said they were going to be hunting down even more Souls, and it showed very well on her face. After a minute or so she scowled at him before glaring off in another direction, trying to ignore the fact that he was probably just saying this to bother her. "Well I hope you get one that will shred the hosts mind and you can't get the stupid human back." She said rather loudly before storming off down one of the tunnels, away from the group of humans going on the raid.

Wanda glared at how rude Ben was being to Sky Fire. It bothered her that he couldn't get past the fact that though Sky Fire might be a Soul she is still capable of feeling hurt when her heart is broken by someone. She was thankful Jared and Melanie were trying to push things along a little faster. "Yeah," she said staring after Sky Fire wondering if she should miss this little trip. She knew she couldn't though. Wanda had gone on every raid ever since she had saved Jamie with the meds she and Jared had gotten for him. The humans and Souls had lived so much easier when she could finally raid. It was always nice to get some fresh air. She was also excited to see the northern states again. She missed the trees quite a bit. "Lets go," she said turning to look at Jared, Melanie, and Ben. "I thought Ian was coming? I haven't seen him all day though," she said in a wandering voice.

Jared sighed loudly at the commotion that Ben and Skyfire were creating. As he watched Skyfire storm off, he told Ben, "We aren't killing any Souls unless our life's are in immediate danger." Sometimes Ben was so thingyy and arrogant that even Jared couldn't stand it.
He nodded at Wanda's words. "Yea, we should leave now. By the time we get to the town, to moon should be almost gone, giving us enough time to hit the stores that open early." Jared started to walk out of the cave into a tunnel to get the things he had packed for this trip next to the cave opening. Things such as, a few bottles of water, enough to make it to any gas station to get more, a blanket, and a over used tooth-brush.

"Its more fun if we kill Souls" Ben muttered so no one heard him, Ben walked out of the cave and breathed in the desert air. Most people hated the desert it was dry and humid, but Ben loved it more then anything, he had grown up and lived here and never wanted to leave. Ben watched the others walk out of the cave and to the jeep. Ben winked at them and walked over to the motor bike he had taken from some Souls the day he ran off. Getting on Ben began revving the bike, waiting to set off.
