well ,how about we talk about this tomorrow, i'm tired " jonas says

" who's taking first watch?" devon looks at the both of them

"not it "

"not it " levi and jonas say at the same time and get to work finding a good sleeping spot

"childish " devon growls

"sorry dude, you snooze, you loose" levi drawls

Devon grumbles as he walks up a hill overlooking their camp and takes a sit on a boulder, eyes threatening to close and shoulders sagging, he forces himself to stay awake , after a few minutes he feels something crawling up his arm

"shit " he trashes around and brushes a caterpillar off his arm

"ugh " he squishes it with his legs and then regrets doing so as the mushed caterpillar sticks to the sole of his new sandals, he uses a stick to scrape it of and tosses it to the side

A few more minutes of unbearable silence and he decides to close his eyes for a second... Someone taps him on his shoulder and he jumps from the boulder and settles into a fighting stance,looking around wildly. Garcia giggled and giggled and couldn't stop giggling

"Don't do that again " he says with narrowed eyes

" Sorry … i just … you just … " she starts giggling again

"Are you quite done?"

"Not yet " she says in between giggles

"okay, now i'm done" she says after a

while

" whatever"

" aren't you supposed to be keeping watch?"

"I was "

"No you weren't"

"Yes, i was"

"you were half-asleep"

"so…"

" eh, nevermind… tell me about yourself"

"what do you want to know ?" devon asks and sits on the boulder

"how old are you?"

" nineteen "

"nineteen!!!"

"what?? "

"you're so young … "

"where i come from at sixteen, you're considered an adult"

"where's that??"

" joemek"

"that's really far away… "

"yeah…"

"do you miss it?"

"i… honestly, no "

"oh , why ?"

"life at the orphanage was nothing short of horrible, i don't think anyone would miss it"

"were you the only one that ran away?"

"there were four of us, i have no idea where the others are…"

"i'm sorry "

"so... I should probably wake them up, its morning "

"could you do me a favour?"

"what?"

" don't tell them we had this conversation"

"why not?"

"why should you?"

"fair enough"

Garcia walks back to camp and wakes up levi and jonas

"ugh, i hate mornings " levi grumbles

"of course you do"jonas smirks

"get that smirk off your face " levi drawls

"break it up, both of you!!!" garcia shouts

"so… you and devon " levi drawls

"shut up!!" garcia shouts

"what??"

"ugh" the gaurd groans and coughs, struggling against her bind

" malka!!"jonas runs to her side

"malka???" levi and garcia share a look

Devon blinks at the sky , a red light streaks across the sky and there is gasp from beside him

"make a wish "

"what??"

"make a wish, i've already done so"

"NO TALKING" a whip lashes out and catches devon across his back

"aaah" the whip lashes out again and the person beside him cries out in pain, devon clenches his hands

"devon, are you alright" the person whispers

Devon nods and looks around, its a mine, there are men bending over digging and women carrying buckets of water back and forth, whips lash out and slaves fall over screaming in pain, the unlucky ones don't get back up in time and the slavers swarm them kicking , punching , beating them till they don't move at all

"BACK TO WORK" a whip cuts into devons back and he doubles over breathing hard

"you have to get up " there is that voice, whispering in his ear again

"please"

devon hears the desperation and struggles back to his feet to the amusement of the slavers

"i told you he would get back up in time "

one of them say

"hmm" a slave with blonde hair and fierce green eyes, set jaws looks at devon sympathetically and mouths an apology

The slaver who lost the bet tsked and glares at devon in disgust

"pay up"

"???"

"you lost the bet, now pay up"

"fine "

The slaver who lost coughs up a few coins and hands them over grumbling

"devon"

"Devon, wake up"

"garcia?"

"devon, wake up"

"NOW"

Devon sits up and his eyes flutter open to see jonas, garcia and levi are looking at him with concern written all over their faces

"devon, are you okay??" garcia looks the most worried,levi looks indifferent ,jonas looks guilty

"i thought you were dead" levi drawls

Jonas elbows levi and he doubles over

"do that again" levi growls at jonas

"cut it out, both of you… devon are you okay?"

"yeah"
