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 remembered her mentioning "the others" when she first arrived, and nodded.

"What happened?"

[lara_the_explorer]

"There were people in there, stranded like we were. A cult that tried to kill us and something else... I-I'm sorry, I'm getting a headache" Lara rubs her forehead when she's getting flashbacks of what happened. It's still a sensitive topic to her.

Kate recognized the signs of a flashback and moved away, letting her have a moment.

"Do you need anything for the headache?"

[lara_the_explorer]

"Sure"

Kate glanced around, then found a bottle of aspirin. She opened the bottle and handed it to Lara, letting her decide how many to take while Kate poured her a glass of water.

[lara_the_explorer]

"Thank you" Lara took the aspirin, and drank the whole glass of water. She's been so thirsty for days. "I think I could stand now. I could use a shower"

Kate nodded, standing up.

"I'll leave you to it, then. You can contact me through the journal or come by my room if you need anything, okay?"

[lara_the_explorer]

"I will"
