SEVENTH ISLAND

Tooth and claw

Aidan awoke to the sound of shouting coming from inside the cave. Aidan bolted off of the floor and onto his feet as fast as he could. "What's going on?" He asked worriedly. Kit turned around with a bow and arrow in hand. "See for your self!" He gestured to the cave entrance. Aidan peered out of the entrance. There was nothing out there. "There's nothing ou-" Aidan was cut off by an arrow hitting the wall. It was just a couple centimetres from his nose. Aidan gulped as he saw hooded figures climbing up the mountain. "Come on," he sighed. Aidan ran back and grabbed a bow and some arrows. He saw Cooper get up and grab a shield. Aidan stopped him by putting his hand on his shoulder. "No, not you, you get some rest, this is not your fight." Cooper turned around to face him. "I want to fight!" Aidan shook his head. Cooper shook his head back. "I don't care, if I die, I want to die fighting." Aidan understood. "Very well, but be careful buddy." Cooper smiled and reached for a dagger. He turned back to face Aidan. "Don't worry, there's nothing on this god damn island that can stop me!" After that, he ran out with his shield stuck to his chest. I SURE HOPE, Aidan thought to himself. By the time he headed to the entrance everyone was gone. He ran out and drew back his bow, ready for battle. He fired an arrow and shot down one of the hooded figures. As he was running down the mountain he felt something sharp, stick into his leg. He tripped over and looked at his leg. Someone had shot an arrow into him. He slid down the mountain and was knocked unconscious when he hit his head on a rock.
When Aidan woke up, he was lying on the floor of a cave, his cave. The others sat next to him slowly waking up. Aidan tried to stand up but he was tied to the others. Their weapons lay in front of them. Just far enough that they couldn't quite reach them. At the entrance of the cave stood four hooded figures. The ones that had attacked them. Noticing that everyone had woken up the parted to reveal someone behind them. It was Finn. "I take it this is your group?" Harry spat at Finn. "Yes, much stronger than yours, you were all brought down within a few minutes." Aidan looked around his group, there were only four of them. Were was Cooper? Aidan noticed someone crouching behind Finn. He turned his head to face Aidan and held his finger over his mouth. OF COURSE! Aidan thought to himself. FINN DOESNT KNOW COOPERS WITH US, HE HASNT SEEN HIM YET, HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW HE'S ON THE ISLAND! If they could distract Finn, Cooper could help them get out of this. Finn noticed Aidan's grin. "What's so funny?" He demanded. "Oh," Aidan paused, "the only reason you beat us was because you had the element of surprise." Finn began to shout. "That is not funny!" He paused then began again. "Tell me!!! What is so funny!!" Aidan raised an eyebrow. "Because, the funny thing is, the weapons." Finn raised an eyebrow. "The weapons? What weapons?" Aidan looked at the weapon. Finn just laughed. "Oh, those weapons, they're there, so that we can shoot you, if you try to grab them... I do like a good shoot the sherif." Aidan ignored the last part. "Aaaaaaa, that's why, I don't want to grab them." "But, I will do something with them." Finn was very confused. "If your not gonna grab em, then what ya gonna do with em?" He laughed. "This!" As Aidan yelled that word he kicked a sword down to cooper. Cooper in return, threw a dagger that stuck into the wall behind him. Aidan grabbed it with his mouth and with it cut his hands free. He grabbed the dagger and begun cut at Harry's ropes. Aidan heard an arrow behind him. As he moved on to Nat's ropes he turned to face the person who had shot the arrow. "Not that I want you to get better, but, we're like, five metres apart, how could you miss that?" He threw the knife to Harry so he could free Kit. The same hooded figure pulled back his bow again. Aidan picked up a shield and spun it through the air towards the person. It hit him and sent him flying down the mountain. Aidan noticed the others had taken out two of the other people. The only two left were Finn and another hooded figure. Finn pointed at Aidan and shouted at the hooded figure to fire. "Fire!" "No," stated the hooded person. Finn was furious. "I said, fire!" The hooded person replied again with, "no," "what is the meaning of this negative?" "It means no," "traitor!" The hooded figure took their hood. They waved their hand and said, "traitor, that's me, hello!" At that he pushed Finn down the mountain. The person turned to Aidan. "Just wondering, can I join your group, whether it's a yes, or a no, we should probable chase them back to their base." All Aidan, Harry, Nat, Kit and Cooper were focused on, was who it was. The person standing I front of them... Was Hudson Loftes.
