Ismael fully gets the woman onto his back as he shifts himself to make sure he is not off balanced. As he was ready to go until he was hit with the question, Which way is town. Ismael realized he didn't know which way he came from, and he has never been good with directions in the first place. As he looks for any noticeable directions they could go.

Hmm, he remembers seeing the right side of the plane. He just doesn't know at what angle, so he sighs as he just says, "In all honesty no clue, other than I saw the other side of the plane coming in, but that's the best I got".

As he gestures over to the plane, hu now standing and the smoke there, the plane seems to have changed to lighter shade of grey. Probably the lighting and the time passing, nothing too strange.

As he begins to head to the other side of the plane waiting for his companion to light the way as hopes are they choose the correct path. Hu seems strange why would a pregnant woman be out here? Wouldn't she be more attentive on her baby's needs and call for help rather than be the help?

"Shoot." she muttered as he mentioned he wasn't sure either. Just that he was coming from the other side of the plane. "Guess we're going that direction then." she said and begin the walk. At least that part wasn't too difficult. Just keep the flashlight up. She did rather hope Valerian had shown up earlier though, he would have made this whole ordeal much easier. He knew the woods better, plus he wouldn't have had as much trouble with the door.

"Oh, my name is Sara Rosetti by the way. Guess might as well introduce myself while we walk." She mentioned. She didn't however explain why she was out, right now. She had to think of an explanation for that one. Valerian was a Jorogomo, that was not something you said aloud. They weren't hated/feared the same way Vampires were. But it could get him on someones list.

He follows behind his new companion, he definitely feels something weird about his entire situation. A strange woman crashes through the trees dressed in an odd way for a pilot. A woman out here in the middle of the night while pregnant. And this strange feeling that constantly nags at him that something is off. Ismael is definitely having a weird feeling about his entire situation. But his nature is telling him to keep going neither has produced the same dread he felt from the woman. Maybe they are just strange women, yet that feeling still persists.

As they walked his companion announced her name, "Well I should introduce myself as well. My name is Ismael Skhaos". As they continue to walk he began to ask, "So what brought you out here before the plane crash. I'm wondering because you seemed to have gotten here a lot sooner than I did".

He asks not only out of curiosity, but maybe as a way to see if he can pry any details out of her. She has a strange vibe come off of her, one Ismael finds familiar but can't quite put his finger on. Being the curious tom he has to always see if he can delve a bit. Maybe to uncover something mysterious, or just to open up a stranger. Who knows, sometimes during these times it becomes one and the same. Especially with this forest.

Wait the forest seems different, the trees seem off some how. They seem to be a darker color on a closer inspection. Ismael saw them while he was running so it would make logical sense why they were off. They just feels extremely strange and off somehow. Hell, tonight has just been one weird thing and feeling after another. Heck the ladies on his back and in front of him are starting to become like the most normal things he has seen during this time. Even though they both give off a normal aura...wait.

The woman on his back seems to have now feel different, not by touch but by her breath, her breath has completely stabilized and even started to correct it self when following different rising and falling patterns. Has she finally normalized after this time? Maybe, but something just feels...off. Like something just isn't right, and in all honesty, Ismael is getting very annoyed and freaked out by this situation. Yet he is here and he has an injured person on his back. He just hopes this isn't an elaborate trap. Ismael just disposes the idea, but it's an idea still in his mind.

Sara glanced over her shoulder as he introduce himself as well, "Pleasure to meet you Ismael. Though wish better circumstances could have brought that about." she responded, as she kept walking something just still seemed wrong. Then he asked her something she'd rather he hadn't. About what she was doing so close already she bit her lip while she was still looking forwards before actually answering, "My...well I don't want to call him husband we're not technically married." she glanced over her shoulder and gave a slightly amused smile, "Let's just call him lover eh?"

She returned to facing forwards as she tried to find their way, the trees just looked so strange. The air felt...the wrong temperature. Like it was not any temperature at all. "He spends a lot of time in the woods around where I was and I was kind of expecting to see him soon. When this happened though, well, I couldn't ignore it and I couldn't wait for him to show up. I do hope he's not too concerned when he realizes I'm not there." the last part she just kind of muttered.

She ran a hand across a tree as the walked to steady herself, and found that it felt...not the way it looked. It felt rough while its bark looked smooth. She glanced behind her at the man and the woman and stopped with a furrowed brow and a quietly concerned look. She spoke quietly, "Is it just me or...has something seemed just a bit off?"

She looked around nervously, "I mean...it's like things just look wrong. And,- she rubbed her fingers together that touched the tree, "Feel wrong. Maybe it's just me and I'm just freaking out because I'm not sure where I am but uh...I want to know for sure."

It was clear she wasn't really all that calm anymore, chewing on her lips and fidgeting with the flashlight as she looked around, especially any time she heard a noise. "Valerian?" she asked hopefully. Though she was pretty sure as quiet as she said it, nobody would really hear her.

Ismael laughs slightly as he says as well, "Yeah I wish we could have met in a better situation than this". As she continued to speak, her lover hu? Well not everyone is married, for one reason or another, but still. Strange for someone to be hanging out in the forest at night must have a very good understanding of the forest and its inhabitants, or has some brass balls. Either way not the most normal of men, yet Ismael has no room to judge, he is after all, the same idiot who runs towards danger, and has gotten himself into more trouble in this past week than he can remember for this entire year. But besides that, he must be a good man based on the woman he chose.

As Ismael thinks this something was brought to his mind, did something seem off? You know what, now that someone states it, Ismael is starting to look at everything that has happened so far. The plane that that seemed to shift in color, lighting might have done that yet still. Then the woman seeming to have nothing but her clothing. Then this constant feeling of something wrong. "Yeah something seems to feel off to me. But this forest always has that feeling to me" Ismael says as he looks around, the air feels like nothing. The surrounding area seems to be silent. Not like the silence you find in nature, but like actually nothing. This was not normal, but he knew if he made her worry that something was wrong she might become even more scared, and he doesn't want her to be too afraid, especially with 2 strangers. However there is this very intense feeling of dread coming over him as he realizes he is holding the woman, and she could literally be anyone or anything. And he has no quick access to self defense in this position. She could even be the source of these strange happenings, as he takes a slow and deep breath he look to her face to find…

She is still unconscious, oh thank god. Ismael had the extremely bad feeling that came over him almost as if this woman was one of those Spider people in disguise waiting to eat him. Now it has melted away as she seems to be quite unconscious and he can refocus on keeping Sara in a good head space. With the fidgeting woman in front of him, Ismael knew she was in a less than ideal state of mind as she seemed frightened by just the slightest of sounds.

Ismael comes over and shifts his body to set his hand on her shoulder as he says, "Hey don't worry, we're not that lost and we're not in any danger. Relax, we're alright, your Lover is probably out here looking for you right now. Just stay strong, we're almost to the city again. I can feel it". Ismael was 100% lying about that last part, he has no damn clue, but he knows that if he freaks out or wavers, it will freak Sara out more and then she might be too afraid to want to move. Which would leave everyone in danger.

Sara was still looking around as he agreed something was definitely off but apparently he always felt that way in the forest, "Yeah but like...especially freaky." she added before realizing that didn't really give much additional explanation to the situation. She looked at the woman on his back, and looked back out into the forest, walking again but slowly. Still clearly on edge. He eventually came over and put a hand on her shoulder trying to give words of that they should be fine and Valerian should be looking for them.

She breathed in and tried to stay calm, "Right, thanks. Sorry." she said trying to smile but going right back to a look of concern as they walked. There was a lot of movement somewhere in the distance, like something moving a lot of leaves around all at once, she paused and stared, "RYAN?!" she called out. There wasn't any response.

"Nevermind nevermind let's go." she said starting to rush forwards only barely slowing down so that he could keep up, another sound of rustling and a voice calling out, "Sara?!" her face lit up, "Valerian! We're over here!" someone came rushing through the forest until a man shoved his way through some of the trees to get to her and gripped her in a hug, "Where'd you go? You should be more careful." he told her.
"Sorry, but I saw a plane crash and I just had to help." She explained and pointed to the other two, "We found her in there and he was around to help."
He looked at the two of them uncertainly furrowing his brow as if in suspicion and looked at her before looking at her stomach, "You're going to have to take more care. Next time try and find me first ok? You shouldn't be exerting yourself too much." he said before embracing her again and looking at Ismael and the woman.

Valerian was a somewhat tall man. Around 6'3", though ever so much larger if he was seen in his True Form, and he did look like he could handle himself. He was also armed if Ismael saw the firearm at his hip. A .308 customized gun. It was rather high quality. He smiled then, "If need be, I can take her. Give you a bit of a break." he offered, "Thanks for doing the heavy lifting."

Valerian was fine with helping humans, in fact he felt it was his job to do so. They were used for breeding. It was why above anything else he hated vampires. All those recent restrictions on them were quite the joy to the man. If he let Valerian take the woman then Valerian would pick her up and put her on his own back the way Ismael was carrying her, if not he'd simply shrug, "Let's go this way." he said nodding his head the way he'd come from, "It's near the caverns and the river. River makes everything easier." he added.

Regarldess of which direction they went. Things wouldn't seem to change much. Valerian would grow continually more concerned, though he wouldn't say anything yet, but Sara was just happy he was here. Putting stress off of her now that she didn't have to think for herself. Because after all, she was only a thrall. There was no true free will left. She wanted to obey, it was not an option. Valerian didn't know yet what situation they were really in. Just that he found them here, presumably after a plane crash. One which he'd heard nothing about. Carrying a strange woman. The forest looked. Unfamiliar.

That just wasn't right. He knew these parts well around the river, he came here often. Why would things not look familiar.

Ismael knows exactly what she means about this place being extra strange he just didn't want to alarm her more, yet she knew very well that something is wrong. The trees felt off, they didn't feel normal at all, they felt strange. And Ismael knew this would bring her on edge, yet couldn't do much other than keeping calm himself. Yet when she started calling out to someone he was immediately concerned as it could have been anyone, but alas no one was there. After that she apologized, "It's alright".

Now she is getting even more antsy to the point instead of walking they were near jogging, Ismael had to keep his focus and moving as he can barely see what he is stepping over he is barely able to keep this pace without falling. Until someone calls out the woman's name. Ismael took a defensive pose ready to leave immediately, yet when she called out in kind he knew it was alright.

Its good to see that he is a good man and not just some rando. Well at least he seems to have a good enough heart, and definitely of a strong build, but Ismael hasn't felt much exhaustion yet so he reply's, "Naw it's fine, I got her". Ismael notices the firearm and realizes it's not a normal hunting gun, too modified. That is definitely built to hunt larger game, but not too suspicious, he is an avid explorer of the forest, so hunting just makes sense.

Ismael stated when Velarian spoke of where they were heading, "Yeah the river would make life easier". Perfect Sara can now calm down and I need to worry about fewer thing, was all that Ismael could think. But Sara was right this place is definitely off, even if he wasn't here for long, he felt it in his body something wasn't right, but he didn't know what it was.

Valerian shrugged and held up his hands as Ismael said he had her, "Fine with me." he said with a somewhat friendly smile before going next to Sara and walking by her as they began to tread. Valerian's face went from happy to find Sara to growing slowly more serious as he noticed the complete lack of sound of the river as they kept walking. The way the trees had seemingly gone unchanged all this time.

Step after step. Sara was growing a bit more concerned too but not enough to say something, until Valerian stopped and put a hand on her shoulder to stop before he turned around with her to look at Ismael and the woman his back. Ismael might feel a slight movement, or maybe he might discard it. A smile that vanished. Then Valerian spoke as Sara looked at him uncertainly, "Ok. I want to preface this with that I don't think we're in danger." he said, though immediately he saw Sara's face hit concern, he put an arm around her whispering that it should be ok, "But. Clearly something is going on right now. I don't know if it's you, I don't know if it's the woman on your back, I don't know if someone is watching us. But it is quite obvious to me that where we should be, we are not."

Sara bit her lip and hugged Valerian closer before speaking, "So what now?"

As Ismael walked he found his surroundings become strangely more concerning as he focuses on everything around him, trying to figure out each thing around him and what is different. The ground underneath him is normal, yet slightly too soft. The trees seem to have never changed, they stayed the same dark bark and never changed in size, just how they were blocking the path. Hell the air never felt to have changed, it felt like he was starting to breath stale air. All of this with Ismael's normal fear of being in this forest, he is not in the best mental state.

Then he saw his two companions turn as he felt a slight tugging at his jacket. Wait...we were in Harper Rock, in the Winter, at night, and she is showing no sign of shaking or freezing. Just a stable body temperature, with a dress on. As his companions states something is going on and he doesn't know what it is. As it could be Ismael himself, unlikely as he was here experiencing all of this. The woman on his back, very high probability at this point as Ismael is extremely suspicious of her now, Or someone watching, which would also be a good point as there could be someone else, but Ismael had his mind set on what he knew.

"I don't know what you mean". As Ismael says with no once of concern or fright as he tries to set her down and back himself into a tree. He doesn't trust the girl and he hopes they know that too, but none of them can be sure of the others. God this is weird, Ismael doesn't like this at all as he hates this dread just floating over him this entire time. And now he is all too suspicious of this strange woman who came crashing from the sky.
