Ryker sighed again, seeing that the guy wasn't answering. He felt the wagon slow down a little and he froze, knowing something was about to happen. The back of the wagon swung open and another two people were thrown in, a young girl and another guy that looked a little younger than Ryker, both were out cold. Ryker scooted away from the end of the wagon, hearing the back close loudly.

Damian watched as the two were thrown in. He noticed that they were both bound like the man opposite of him. Then he saw Luma begin to stir as the wagon began to move.

(The new guy's name is Cassian and the girl's name is Lakin just so you know, I'll have them introduce themselves a little later tho)
Ryker looked at the two new people, hoping that they would know what was going on. He watched as the young girl moved and he smiled weakly at her, "Hi," He said softly. The girl opened her eyes and froze, scooting closer to the guy that was thrown in with her.

Luma winced as the back of his head throbbed and the world spun. He didnt know what was going on so he waited for his vision to clear.
Damian stayed silent and watched as the two new people sorted themselves out.
(Do they know Ryker? Also awesome!)

(Thanks! Also they don't know Ryker)
Lakin whimpered and buried her head into Cassian's shoulder, shaking badly. Ryker sighed and looked at the boy from before "Hey again, you ok?" He asked softly, hoping that someone would talk to him.

Luma looked at Ryker, he was a bit stunned. But then he realized his sister was next to him. "Shiara!" He tried to yelp but his throat was dry so it came out in more of a squeak.
"Luma cool it" said Damian softly. "I'm sure shes fine"

Cassian groaned, pressing his eyes shut tighter as he shook his head, feeling his little sister right next to him. "Hey, Lakin, I'm not dead like you bet." He grinned weakly and bumped her shoulder, feeling her giggle.
"Shhhhh…" Ryker whispered, looking around at everyone "We need to be quiet."
Lakin looked up at her brother and gave him the best hug that she could with her hands tied behind herself.

Luma looked worriedly at Damian "but-"
Damian cut him off. "Shes fine." He said gently. great. Just great. I'm not a babysitter. And now I have to keep track of those 2 he sighed as he kept an eye on the other three.

Cassian rolled his eyes "Who put you in charge, Mr. Bossy." He watched Ryker tense and he grinned slightly.
"I put myself in charge of not getting everyone killed." He responded quickly, feeling himself tense up.

"Not getting killed would be very nice seeing as we have a pair of nine year olds in the corner." Said Damian through his teeth, then giving the terrified looking Luma a comforting look he glared at Ryker. stupid person. Mentioning stuff like that around a terrified kid. That was just dumb. he thought as he tried to figure out if the bonds he had were chains or clumps of magic made whatevers.

"That's what I thought too," Ryker answered snarkily, rolling his eyes.
Cassian and Lakin sat silently together, whispering to each other quietly. Lakin giggled every so often at something Cassain would say, obviously relaxing.

Damian rolled his eyes. "Idiots" he muttered as he tried to scoot/roll/hop his way over to Luma.
Luma just sat there. Wondering if they were gonna die. And why the other three were so calm. And if Shiara was ok. And really really wishing he was back home.

Ryker closed his eyes and laid his head back against the wagon, blocking out the rest of the world. Lakin nodded at something Cassian said and she leaned against him, humming softly.

Damian was about to make a large scoot/hop when the wagon jolted. He was in the process of landing but ended up falling on his face with a loud thud.

(K imma go to bed, gn!)
Cassian chuckled, "You ok?" he asked, his eyes closed slightly.

Damian growled in response as he rolled over and blew hair out of his face. He was in the process of trying to make like a Caterpillar when he realized that the wagon had stopped. Then the door opened.
(Ok night.)

Ryker immediately opened his eyes, looking at the back of the wagon to see what was going on. Lakin slowly stopped humming and fell asleep against Cassian, not noticing that the wagon had stopped.

The doors opened and one of the men stepped inside, Damian froze. the man grabbed him by the collar, "Tryin ta get away are ya?" he sneered before throwing him back against the wall. Damian landed with a thud, he twisted and looked up to see them laughing. The other man outside the doors had a glowing orb on his palm, he muttered something Damian couldn't hear, but he did feel the bindings on his wrists and ankles writhe. "If ya don't wanna die I suggest you stay quiet!" yelled goon 1 as he lept out, Damian felt something push against his arm, something sharp, and he went pale as he tried to lay still until it went away, and the men left. Damina sighed, a cold sweat trickling down his face as he tried not to think about what they could've done.

"Are you ok?" Ryker asked softly, looking over at Damian. He shifted to try to scoot closer to him and sighed, knowing that Damian would probably yell at him. Cassian laid his head against Lakins and he closed his eyes fully, listening to the conversation.

"Yup" said Damian sarcastically, "Just great"
Luma scooted over into the far corner next to shiara, and watched carefully.
"Life is awesome isn't it" continued Damian, "First my pack, then my cousin, now some stupid thugs! Life is just awesome." He twisted so he was on his side as he tried to inch his way upright.

"At least you weren't betrayed by your parents," Cassian said with a shrug, nearly waking up Lakin.
Lakin mumbled something and shifted, letting her head fall onto his leg.

"Ha" said Damian with a grunt as he managed to sit up, "Talk to my dad on that one" he said grumpily.

"Same here bud." Cassian replied, his leg twitching impatiently. "So, anyone know if they're going to kill us? I need to know how many pranks I need to pull before I die."

"Seriously?" said Damian, "That's what your worried about?Also did you seriously not get the memo about the terrified Kids in the corner?" he said jerking his head to indicate Luma and the awake and groggy looking Shiara.

"I try to stay positive," Cassian said with a grin "And anyways, those kids look like that aren't that terrified."
Ryker glared at Cassian but didn't say anything, instead looking at Luma to see if he was ok.

"That didnt sound like positive to me!" Said Luma insistently before focussing back on his sister..
"The kid's right." Said Damian.

"Would you rather me be a complete downer? Tell everyone exactly what I think?" Cassian responded, getting a little mad.
Ryker glanced at the two of them before sighing "Everyone chill out, let's not think about death. Instead…" He looked around the wagon "How about everyone introduce themselves and tell everyone one thing about themselves?"

"Alright." Said Damian " I'm Damian. And fun fact; I happen to be royalty."

Ryker smiled and nodded "I'm Ryker and I currently am on a different planet than my home planet."
Cassian looked at Ryker curiously before shrugging his shoulders "I'm Cassian and I like to ride horses."
