In the middle of the woods, one could hear rustling bushes and some branches snapping as a female figure in the dark is running with a torch in hand.

"Sam! Reyes! Jonah!" the woman called out. "Shit... What is this place? I could have sworn we got out of that island..."

She looks battered, bruised, and armed with two mismatched handguns on her thigh holsters. She looks like she's been through hell and back, with dried blood, torn clothes and a thousand-yard stare. She doesn't even care about possible wolves, with what she's been through, wolves don't scare her anymore. She just wants to find her friends.

And after a minute of walking, she could see already the exterior of the castle from a distance. Not sure about what's in there, so she grabbed her gun and headed towards the castle grounds...

Kate hit the ground hard, but immediately rolled in an attempt to pin Lara down.

"Calm down, kid."

[lara_the_explorer]

Lara tried to break free, wiggling out of Kate's hold.

"Let me go!"

Lara's other hand flew right to her thigh holster, pulling out her other gun to aim at Kate.

"No!"

Without thinking, Kate grabbed the gun and twisted it out of Lara's hand, and in one swift move, she flipped the gun around and brought the butt of it down on Lara's head.

"Ungh!" Lara grunted as the loud thump of the gun butt hit her in the temple, and instantly she was knocked out.

She dropped face down on the ground, with a serene expression on her face despite being knocked out. She must be so exhausted to have that look on her face.

"I really didn't want to have to do that."

Kate sighed, looking down at the girl. She looked so young. As Kate examined further, she realized the girl was bloodied and bruised. All of that couldn't be from their short tussle. Kate felt a pang of guilt for knocking the girl out. With another sigh, she hefted the small girl up and over her shoulder, then started the trek back to the castle.

Lara just remained unconscious as Kate got her inside the castle.

best tag ever.

Kate had to stop a few times to rest, but she eventually got Lara to the clinic. She dropped the girl as gently as possible onto a cot, then looked around for a doctor. When she saw a doctor approaching, she stepped back and slowly walked away. She'd check back on her later, once the doctor was finished.
