Alexis' loud laugh echoed in the silence of the woods at the stupidity Scott had just said, it was a really bad joke. She carried a basket with fruit in her hands while Scott carried one duffle bag with some of his clothes, the two walking towards the main camp and dodging a few branches. It had been a couple of peaceful days in the bayou, no one bothered her with wars or bad news.
She raised her free hand and moved a tree branch from the way of hitting her face, she was about to answer but got quiet when the familiar figure of Hayley Marshall-Kenner stood just a few feet away from them, a expression filled with grief.

Alexis walked ahead of her best friend, their feet pressing against the dirt as they walked to the area near the former's cabin, four trees stood by in a round, flowers at each end of them, it was like settled up.

Hayley glanced around her surroundings, a peacefulness settled in her at the tranquil air. She watched as her best friend placed two flowers under one of the trees, before lifting a hand and placing it atop the names that read:
