Station Six: Captured After a fire destroys half of the camp’s food supply, your group heads out into the forest to hunt and gather food.

Veronica climbed into the big bed, jeans off, and pulled the big, soft blanket to her chin. The lights were soft in Logan’s room, she’d never noticed that before.

The other odd thing about her was that no one…

1. In terms of casting for Stella Kowalski, the actress would have to be young and gentle looking. She would also most likely be of average beauty. In the play Stella is described as, “…a gentle young woman, about twenty-five, and of a background obviously quite different from her husband” (1778). This meaning that her husband is rough looking while Stella is delicate and small. Another example of Stella being slightly delicate is how Blanche refers to her. Blanche calls her a “precious lamb”…
Kayla stood, brushing off her dress of nonexistent dirt, only needing something for her trembling hands to do. "I am sorry, but I do not think it possible I 'm your daughter. With someone of my background, I 'd hardly ever be even distantly related to royalty, let alone the daughter of the queen of the Praxis Empire as well as one of the most powerful countries in the world. I offer my condolences," Kayla said with a curtsy before she left. Leaving the queen to stare after the small, lithe…
Jaylee was watching One Tree Hill when someone knocked on the door. With a groan, she walked to the door and opened it, only to see Luke standing there. He didn't look too happy, but she didn't say anything. "Are you going to let me in or not?" He asked, annoyance laced through his voice, and Jaylee moved aside to let him in. He walked and plopped down on the couch. Jaylee sat in the chair across from him, and he looked at her before his gazed was fixed at the couch. "Do you like me yet?" He…
