By then the sun had begun to set

He looked up at the sky as it started to change colors

She stood outside, looking out at the landscape.

He soon came up behind her and hugged her from behind. And was un aware of how he pressed against her.

She blushed, leaning back against him

He gently rested his chin on her head.

She smiles a little. "We'll come back someday," she said. She started to say something else, and then broke off as a distant chopping sound carried toward them on the air

He raised his head, teal eyes widening as he listened closely.

Electa stiffened. A helicopter. Adrenaline surged through her. She ducked back into the cabin and snatched up the rifle; she was back outside in seconds. "Come on!" She grabbed Vexin's hand, and she ran across the clearing, scrabbling up the rocks behind the cabin. The rotor noise grew louder, beating through the air. As they climbed, Electa cursed herself. Why hadnt they left hours ago, the moment Vexin told her his fears? If the truck had broken down, they could have hiked; at least they'd be away from here. Stupidly, sh'd thought that theyd have more time.

His heart started racing, and not in a nice way. He did not hesitate to keep up with Electa, not having too much trouble climbing for a boy from a city like place.
