The Alone Ones

The Resistance?

Chapter 6

It had been a few months of non stop training. Niall and Jarrod had gotten surprisingly good at shoot a bow. Liesa was the one who kept watch. the slightest movement she heard it. It seems as if she knew a threat was near. We have yet to use the guns. they are for emergencies only. In all honesty everything was going good.

I lifted my head from my slumber. I looked around to find everyone else asleep.

"I would be the first one awake." I laughed to myself.

I yawned as I stretched out my back. Finally I got up from my blanket and headed to the bag of clothes. Digging and digging finally I found some clothes.

Finding My brown combat boots, skinny jeans, a black shirt and a camo jacket. I dressed myself then headed to the box with the bows and arrows. Grabbing quit a few arrows and my bow and left the cabin.

Finally making it to the creek, I climbed up a tree and perched myself on a limb.

Waiting and waiting finally out came a doe. She was beautiful. I began to slowly draw back my bow, then something caught my eye. It was a small fawn following the doe. How could I shoot such a thing. She's a mother. I let down my bow without shooting. It was such a beautiful sight. Suddenly from the corner of my eye I saw a buck. He was a big one to. Looked strong and well. And I wasn't going to miss this chance on a good mean. I began to draw my bow back a second time. The deer had seemed to be frightened and he ran off.

"Shit.." I said under my breath. My eyes began to scan the forest in search of what could have scared that buck off. My eye was pulled to a bright colored shirt. People. Of course. 4 frightened boys. Well I wouldn't call them boys, more like young adults. 3 Burnett and one with black hair it seemed. Another something caught my eye, it was one of those creatures. And it had its sights set on them. With my bow still drawed back I aimed for the creature. "One, two, three" I let go of the bow and the arrow shot off. Hurtling through the air. Crossing my fingers hoping I hit it. I held my breath, as I seen I missed it by less then one inch. Hoping it didn't notice me, but it did. It looked directly at me. I stayed as still as possible hoping it wouldn't notice me? Oh but it noticed. It began to hop from tree to tree and was coming for me.

In a panic I fell from the tree. All the air was knocked out from in me. Trying to scramble up I began to crawl. Soon regaining my strength I got up and began to run. Running as fast as I could. Jumping over branches and fallen trees. Dodging vines and trees. I turned around to see if the creature was still chasing me, and it was. I came up to a fallen tree. I tried to jump over it but my foot got caught. And I fell. It was too late. The creature was closing in and fast.

Trying to crawl away but I hurt my leg to much to get up. I turned back to the creature and it was almost to me. Suddenly another arrow flew through the air and hit the creature directly in the face. The creature slung back and fell to the ground.

Who shot that arrow? Where did it come from?

"Skye! Are you okay?" A deep Irish voice called to me, I didn't even have to see his face. I knew it was Niall.

"Yeah, I think I just hurt my leg a bit."

I looked over to the creek to find the people coming over to me. The closer they got the more I could tell who they were.

They were those guys that every girl wanted to date. They never talked to me. I mean why would they.

"Hey, you okay?" The curly headed one asked.

"Yeah I'm alright, thanks."

"You're that Skye chick right?" The tan one asked.

"Yeah.." I didn't know they knew of me.

"I'm Harry," the curly headed one said, "and that's Liam, Zayn, and Louis."

"Well I'm Skye, obviously. And this is Niall. My friends Jarrod and Liesa are back at the cabin."

Niall grabbed my arm helped me up from the ground.

"Hey... We have no where to stay for the night. We have been on the run from those things for a few weeks now. I heard their was a resistance in these woods and we have been trying to find them. "

"A resistance?" My friends and I have been away from civilization for months.

"Yeah? The resistance. They are trying to destroy the creatures that control our world now," Louis said.

"Okay follow me you guys, the cabin is this way." I began to lead them. Careful with every step I take. Not to make much noise.

"You guys we have some visitors," I yelled to Jarrod and Liesa and I swung open the door.

"Visitors?" Jarrod stuck his head through the kitchen door, "Harry?" Jarrod grew a huge smile. Harry was his only guy bestfriend.

I hadn't seen Jarrod this happy in a while. Since the day we left town to live out here, he had grown more serious. Very protective over Liesa and I. Niall had become a brother to him.

Jarrod eyes began to water, and a smile broke across his face. That beautiful smile that I missed seeing oh so often. He embraced Harry in his arms in a hug. The happiness I seen in Jarrods eyes made me Long to see my mother. Oh how I missed her. I have no idea what happened to her, I could only hope she was safe.

"I've missed you man." Harry said in his British accent.

Harry, Louis, Liam, and Zayn moved to Texas my freshman year. I'm not to sure why, they just did.

I looked around the room. Everyone seemed to be so happy. But I noticed someone was missing. Zayn. Where's Zayn.?

I walked around the house, and he was no where to be found. I opened the front door and peered outside, and there I found Zayn sitting beside the door outside and he seemed a bit upset.

I walked over to him and set beside him, "Zayn, are you okay?"

He leaned his head back against the wall, "You know, when you see your mother killed right infront of you, it does something to you."

I places my hand on his shoulder as he talked, "They control our world now. It's like, they let us go on with our lives but when they get hungry... They hunt down the ones they want. It's like it's a game to them."

Zayn's eyes began to get watery his jaw clenched.

"Zayn I'll do whatever I can to help you. Now come on, it's getting close to lunch. I'll make you guys something," I grabbed his hands and helped him up.

I meant what I said. I will do whatever it takes to help Zayn, and everyone else and Nothing will stop me.
