Teddy had been on a mission from the Order, as many of the others were busy. Uncle Harry had been assigned to come with him, as was Sophie. Apparently there had been reports of a 'glowing light' in which found in a hidden village deep in this forest. Teddy didn't understand how anyone could survive in here with the constant threats of snakes biting at one's feet and the over all claustrophobic feeling.
The Order had been hunting down these glowing light things for awhile and found two. Where those two were now, he didn't know, and almost everyone else didn't know either, except for the one possessing the devices. Just like down in Antarctica, there were three in this group, Teddy, Harry and Sophie, however, Teddy had a feeling they were being followed, or someone was nearby.
Hopefully, they would find this device and discover what was behind all of it. Since they didn't know where the light was exactly, they couldn't apparate and they just had to search. He was sick of this thick forest, and couldn't wait to get out of it.

Sophie trudged through the forest, why did it have to be in the middle of the woods? She smacked a bug on her neck. Stupid misquitoes. Luckily it was her, Teddy and Uncle Harry. It was so much better but she had the feeling they were being watched. It was a weird feeling, like she was exposed almost, but she wasn't she was wearing shorts, a t-shirt and sneakers. The only thing she didn't like about it was that it was so hot! The would've loved to curse but no it was not her! She couldn't do it, she was so sweet and innocent.
"It is too hot to be doing this! I am sweating in places I never knew could sweat." she she said smacking her neck again. "These stupid bugs!! I am never coming here again. Never! I know I sound like a whiny brat but it is much too hot, the bugs are horrible, and I'm hungry.." she pulled her bag from her back around to her front, she had food in there. Nothing that most would consider good for people. She had candy, granola bars, M&Ms and trail mix.

Gabe, Jared and Alistair (the only three that were currently on leave) had been sent to investigate this "strange light" that there had been reports of in the area. Normally, Gabe would have preferred to either go by himself or with Damie, but he got along well with his cousins and didn't mind the company.
"Sangue di Giuda," Al grumbled. "How do the natives survive this fucking heat?"
Over his shoulder, Jared signed 'By not complaining like little bitches.'
Al flipped off the mute, even though Jared was walking ahead of them. Gabe chuckled and shook his head.

"I know what you mean. Hey, could I have some of your M&M's?" Teddy said making a grab for her bag of M&M's. Teddy laughed, having a feeling that it wasn't at all bad, and just figured the feeling of being followed was because some of the natives were catching onto them.
Harry smiled looking at Teddy making a grab for his sister's candy. It was actually quite funny how he could be serious when in battle, but otherwise he could be like a little kid. However, soon Harry frowned hearing something nearby. He didn't notify the others, as to not worry them, but he pulled his wand out, concealed from the siblings, but at the ready.
"Something wrong, Uncle Harry?" Teddy asked noticing his frown.
"No, nothing, really," Harry replied shining him a smile, which was quite short lived. He kept his eyes and ears open, just in case what he heard wasn't just an animal.
"Do you two get the feeling that we're being followed? Or that someone's near?" Teddy asked. Harry couldn't help but smile and shake his had.

When the group stepped out into a clearing, they found themselves staring down another group of three (sans Eliza, who was supposed to be with them but got caught up in a series of meetings). Jared and Al both flicked out their wands while Gabe smiled and nodded to Sophie.
'See?' Jared signed in Al's direction. 'If you hadn't been bitching, we would've heard them.'
"Oh, shut the hell up, Jay," Al grumbled.
Gabe rolled his eyes at his cousins' antics and opted to ignore them. It was easy enough to do with Jared, even though he was sure to receive a kick to the back of his head if he did for too long.
"Hey, Sophie!" he called.

"Oh just take the bag." Sophie grumbled. She smacked her arm, "Ugh! I really hate these bugs.." She said stepping in the clearing. It took her a moment to notice that there were other people there with them. "About that feeling like we were being watched, yeah, I think we kind of were, don't you?"
She noticed Gabe and smiled. She waved, "Hey Gabe, long time no see. How's Jule and Lex?" she kept messing with her hair and trying to wipe the sweat off her forehead. She kept thinking she looked terrible, and she didn't want to look like that in front of Gabe. Then she noticed Jared, "Hi Jared! I wish I knew sign language, I could talk to you better then.."

Jared looked away from furiously signing some insult against Al's mother to smile a little and wave to Sophie. He liked her; she was always friendly and pleasant to him.
'I could teach you,' he offered, flipping Al off once he was done signing.
"He said that he could teach you," Gabe translated. "And they're fine; they keep asking when the next time you'll come over is. Lex drew you a picture and asked me to give it to you, but I left it at home. Didn't think I'd run into you out here."
"Here we go...flirting with his girlfriend, even when we're on a mission," Al grumbled.
"Shut up, you dickhead!" Gabe protested, punching his cousin in the side of his head.

Sophie smiled, that might be harder than it looked if a mute taught sign language. She flipped her hair to get the stray strands out of her face. She felt so much more like a girl around other people, and it made her feel a bit weirded out since her uncle, brother and boyfriend were there. She hadn't even told Teddy she had a boyfriend. Now she was in for it... a lecture had to be coming later..
"That would be nice Jared but I think it would be a bit harder than it sounds... unless there's pen and paper." she chuckled.
She blushed, "Um... Well, I didn't expect to see you out here either. Are you following me? Because that's what it seems like. And tell Lexi and Juli I'll be over to see them soon, only because they're cute and adoreable. No other reason." she winked.

'Obviously there would be a pen and paper,' Jared signed, rolling his eyes.
"He said that there would obviously be a pen and paper," Gabe translated. "And owch. That's cold, Soph. I'm hurt."
He placed a hand over his heart dramatically before laughing.
"Being serious, no, I'm not stalking you. I didn't think that I'd be out here right now; Jay, Al and I were off-duty so we got sent out here to look for some glowing thing. There goes leave, I guess."

Harry had pulled his wand the instant that someone had come, and just a split second before he was going to send a curse towards one of them, the one boy, Gabe, had recognized Sophie, and she seemed to recognize them. It still meant their mission was compromised. Harry wasn't one to know sign language, so he was suspicious that the mute guy could be saying something other than what they were translating. Like he was the strategist and they were 'hearing' or understanding instructions on how to bring them down. But that was just his paranoia. Harry placed his wand back in his back pocket, still ready to make a grab for it.
Teddy wasn't listening after the world girl friend. Sophie. had. a. boyfriend? And she didn't tell him? AND this guy Teddy was sure was from this time. One of those Curia guys. "Hold on for a second here. Boyfriend." he pointed to Gabe, "Girlfriend?" he pointed to Sophie.
Harry laughed ever so softly as Teddy was overracting to this news. While he knew that Sophie and this guy probably wouldn't work out, as they were from other times, or if they were from their time, which he wasn't sure about yet, then he was sure as hell wasn't part of the Resistance and therefore couldn't be trusted. "What are you three doing here?"

Sophie had started to tip toe away when Teddy spoke up. She stopped and scratched her head, wow she really didn't have an answer for this... How was she going to explain to her brother and uncle that she had a boyfriend in this time period?
"Um, well, um... I, uh..." she backed up even farther and then changed into a dog and took off. She didn't want her nervous itch to kick in and her to say something stupid. She hid under a bush and started to scratch behind her ear. She didn't know how to explain it and her first thought was run. She figured it was instinct.

"We were sent here for a few reasons. First and foremost was to deliver this," Al began, pulling out a folder piece of paper and handing it to Harry. "It's an official notice from the Council of the alliance between the Eastern Coalition and the Order of the Phoenix. It was finalized recently. We're also supposed to be supporting you three and searching for some glow-y thing. Finally, we are to locate and eliminate any enemies of the Coalition that seem to have sided with yours and are, at least according to Auditore communications we intercepted from the Auditore, looking for the same thing."
Jared made a strangled-sounded, disgruntled noise of protest. Al rolled his eyes.
"They're our allies, Jay," Gabe reminded his cousin. "What do you think is gonna happen?"
Jared rose an eyebrow, tilted his head back slightly and pointed to the scars that looped around his throat. Gabe winced; he'd almost forgotten that...

Teddy was completely surprised by this outcome, though he expected the running away part for Sophie. For a second he was dazed, before he snapped out of his initial surprise. "Don't worry about it you all, I go get Sophie," Teddy stated before running off after her. It was times like this he wished he was like a cheetah and could run fast. He was fast with a wand, and dodging, but running was another thing. He wasn't at all the fastest runner. Not good if you're being chased down by a bunch of Death Eaters, a problem he once faced.
Harry nodded, taking the paper from Al. He took a quick glance and nodded, seeing everything was in order. He was slightly confused at the scars on Jared's neck, but he had to stay official and all, or the information he had been keeping from even the order, might just slip out. "So, we're allies, officially now," Harry stated, "Have you already been briefed on everything that we know about these things?" Harry wasn't sure if the Order had the time to brief these people on everything that they knew already about them. Apparently, behind closed doors some of those who knew about them were whispering that these things were where the 'transfers' were from. Maybe they were right, or maybe they were wrong. "And I am curious as to what happened to Jared there," Harry said thinking about the mute boy and his reaction to becoming allies.

"Kind of. We're just the Curia's military power; we aren't told a lot right off the bat," Gabe explained. "Ana or any of the other younger Council members try to keep us in the loop, but they're busy."
He glanced over his shoulder at Jared and raised an eyebrow asking permission to tell the story. Jared gave it with a dismissive wave of his hand.
"Jared was actually born with the ability to speak. When we were kids, though, a Curia informant among the enemy during the Civil War turned on us. He opened the gates of the Cavaliere family's compound to let the Auditore in. Jay caught them and rose the alarm; for his troubles, he got his throat slit. He survived, obviously, but his vocal chords were damaged. He hasn't been able to speak since," he finished.

"Well, we don't know too much. Dumbledore knew the most about them, but the ones we managed to get our hands on went missing when Dumbledore died," Harry explained. Allies that hadn't proven themselves as trustworthy in his eyes, could not be trusted, and therefore he didn't let his guard down, even though both Sophie and Teddy had deserted him. "However, we do know that a device projects a sort of ball of light, and one can pass through safely and not see anything past it, if that makes any sense to you." Even Harry didn't know too much about these things. Dumbledore, that damned man, left nothing behind to help decode it. He left a lot of things for everyone to discover on his own. While Harry respected and loved the man, over the years he grew to resent that Dumbledore didn't tell him everything.
The story of Jared, well the one that Gabe told, whether it be true or not, was part of the reason he was so paranoid, though just hearing the story made him feel extremely vulnerable, as his thoughts kept betraying him, telling him they would turn on him. He had to tell himself to stop thinking those crazy thoughts, and to simply keep his guard up. "I see, and so he doesn't trust very many people, even those who are allies, unless they've proven themselves as trustworthy, such as yourself, Gabe."
