Family Reunion (Tristan and River OPEN)

[Tristan Smith]

Tris couldn't help but smile at his sister, River always had that kind of effect on him. she was the one with Hope in her words and ideas, he had always been the pesimistic one. But she had really thought about it, she had reall looked through all of their possibilities. Their pros and cons. He looked around and saw the people, he knew that he could at least give it a try, as long as they all were safe, and he meant bay all, River and himself. "ok... I got it, you really want to give this place a try, an opportunity." Smiles and nods. "why don't we talk to the leader, and try to stay here. for me it would be like another base. and from time to time we can check the house. just in case we can ever go back there." He said and smiled at her, weird to see... his smile, since the moment he killed his best friend and his fience, he hadn't smile much. But now, he felt they had an opportunity to have a life.

River wasn't sure, she didn't give her brother a response that night. She took Jacobs fathers offer for the night and stayed in the RV that she would stay in if she decided to come. She was sure Tristan was not far.
That night she lay restless, laying where a table had been hours before, River didn't mind, she was a guest here for the time being.
Later that night, closer to dawn than anything, River tossed and turned in her bed, she was dreaming.
In her dream she was in her bed back home, sleeping as before. A noise awoke her, at first it didn't register with her what it was. Then she heard moaning. Instinctively she reached for her gun, that was nowhere to be found. "Emelie?" She whispered hoping it was her housemate playing a prank.
It took her a moment to realize that her room was dimly illuminated by the moon, and her window was no longer boarded. River could hear her heart pounding in her ear.
"Dad?" She whispered and was answered by banging making her jump. Shortly there after was joined by more moaning, and banging, from atleast three roamers.
"Stop it! your dead! you're all dead! Leave me alone!" River yelled yelled at the bedroom door.
She didn't realize she said it out loud until she was shook awake.

[Tristan Smith]

For some reason Tristan couldn't just go to the rv that the people there gave him as an apartment. But he wanted to give his sister some space to think about the proposition that he had made to her. So he said good night to her and then he just went up to the RV's roof and laid there to sleep. It wasn't that bad, the training in the air force hadn't been a piece of cake either, so he was used to rough life.

His sleeping patterns were weird. When he was in the base, he always had a light sleep, the minor alarming noise used to wake him up. But when he was at home, he used to sleep in a heavy way and not even a canon would have been able to wake him up. Now, he slept soundly and rested, but minor sounds were capable to wake him up.

So when River started to scream, he jumped from the top of the RV and opened the door, he ran into the RV and saw her sleeping but screaming. "River!... Wake up sis!!" he demande shaking her shoulders, she would qake up hald camp with a heart attack! "I'm here sis! Calm down!"

[Elletnah]

River awoke and lashed out at whoever was attempting to shake her awake, she swung and connected with a scruffy face.
Rivers was still squirming when she finally woke up and realized who she had hit.
"OH MY GOD Tristan I am so sorry!!!" she said reaching out to gently touch the spot on his cheek where she had hit him.
She had had many nightmares about being attacked in her sleep. When she slept in her car, the few night she spent in the house without fortifying it. Ever since the attack on the camp the killed her mom sleeping and night time always made her uneasy.
River felt especially vulnerable seeing as her weapon was being held at the gate house and she felt utterly exposed with out her bow.

[Tristan Smith]

He must have known that she was going to react in such way, even before the roamers, she always reated like that when woken up in such way after a nightmare. So when she punched at him in the face in the way she did, he only chuckled. He would have said that she hit like a girl, only to bother her, but he didn't do it, he couldn't be that overly happy and hyper lately. "it's ok sis... I should have seen it coming." she smiled at her and sighed. "well... what was the nightmare?" he said and tilted his head.

[Elletnah]

Her roommate popped her head out to see what all the fuss was about before disappearing back into the back room to sleep. And River looked down at her hands, smiling to herself thinking of the other times she punched him waking her up from nightmares. 
Swallowing hard Rivers smile disappeared, "I was back at the house. The windows were unfortified and mom dad and Tag were trying to claw through my closed door."
"I have that dream atleast once a week. Nighttime makes me skittish." River said smiling once again.

[Tristan Smith]

Tristan looked at River and frowned at her roommate, well He was her brother, so that person shouldn't be popping in the head!, then he nodded at the room mate and smiled, as in a thank you for worrying about his sister. He then looked at River as she started telling him the nightmare. He breathed deeply and nodded as she told him. He saw the house and the corspes, he knew what had happened in there, or at least he thought he knew. So her nightmare was the most accurate and the closest thing to what could had happened in there. He smiled at her softly and then pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, Sis. But now I am, ad I'm not going anywhere, so whenever the nightmare comes back, I'll be here holding you tightly. ok?"
