((Yes, I apologize, I was away and couldn't clear my head to post.))

Juniper checked and found a slight pulse on Leena, pouring a slight bit more Nectar down the unconsious girl's throat. Getting up, she noticed the monster was convulsing on the ground where it seemed as if Alex had stabbed it, though with so much blood around, it was difficult to decipher. Drawing one arrow that was shaped as a comet, Juniper shot it at the rat's head, evaporating the rat on contact. Juniper walked over and twisted the arrow out of the ground where it lay, putting the arrow back into the quiver she held. She walked over to Alex, seeing as though he was drenched in blood, as the rest of the forest was, now starting to smell strangely. "You okay?" Was all she could say, a bit shaken by the rat, and trying to wipe some of the dried blood off of her palms.

Alex gasped for breath. He was covered in blood. Ew, he thought to himself. "I think..I'm fine," he said. He got up onto his feet and swayed a bit, a little dizzy. The only cut he had was the place where the rat had snapped at his arm. It wasn't that deep, and wasn't serious. He looked at Juniper. "You?"

((Detneth, be literate. Quotation marks, not whatever that just was. ._.; ))

 Leena's eyes slowly opened and she looked up, dazed. She sat up and cringed, her hand flying to her back that had four long, bloody scratches across it. Her shirt, being a magical item, had repaired itself. She cried out slightly as she came to her feet, her vision fuzzy, her senses overwhelmed. It felt like her nerves were being fried. What had happened? She remembered than, how the giant rat had clawed her, and wondered, "How could a rat make it hurt this badly?" She fell to her knees, groaning.

ooc; Sorry, I usually use asterixes. I will change :P

Tempest stared at the sight, revolted. "Leena? Are you ok?" she asked in a worried tone. "Would someone tell me what happened?" she said.

((More than two lines, please :) ))

Juniper nodded, and leaned up slightly under Alex, helping support his weight so he didn't have to walk on his own. "I wasn't hurt too badly physically..." She trailed off, looking at her black Chucks. "Oh look, Leena woke up. Leena, eat soe of this ambrosia." Reaching into her bag, Juniper pulled out cubed ambrosia and handed them to Leena, then glanced at Alex. "Do you want some too? It'd probably help."

Alex was tempted, but he new he wasn't that physically hurt. "No thanks," he finally decided. His gaze shifted to Leena, who could barely stand without *censored*istance, and then to Aria. "I think it's a good idea to head back... Chiron is probably worried, and so are our cabin mates," he said.

((Kinda braindead. O_o))

((I'm not sure. :/))

Juniper nodded, and tried to ignore the sticky feeling she had all over, being covered in the monster's blood and such. When Alex politely refused the ambrosia, she shrugged, and she tried to pull some dried blood out of her hair. "So, I guess we should go back now." She smiled and turned to Aria. "We were all worried about you. Try ot to run off next time, okay?" She teased playfully and still was smiling.

((Sorry! Went skiing in Maine, had no computer.)

Aria looked back at Alex. "Yah, we should go." she agreed with him. "I'm sorry guys, if I hadn't come into the forest in the first place none of this would have happened.... Leena, do you need help getting back?"
