Nastia's POV:


I heard yelling from a distance, it sounded like Alli. I followed the sound of various people saying Derek's name. I finished off the last big Titan and followed the sound, I found Riker, Alli and Noah huddled in a group, I dropped down behind Riker to get a closer looked at Derek, I was in shock

"What Happened?!" I asked

"Derek was slammed to the ground by a Titan" Alli said crying

"He didn't see it coming" Riker sounded as if Derek died but he didn't I know he didn't he cant I wont except it. ~~BOOM~~

"Yellow flare...the mission was a success" Noah said.


Rumer came down to see whats going on, "What happened over he-" she cut herself off when she saw Derek "oh no...." Rumer said softly. I held up a flare gun "Everyone cover your ears" I waited for everyone to cover their ears I pulled the trigger and purple flare shot up into the sky it took a minute or two but someone came on horse back with a wagon attached to the back, Keo was riding it

"I saw a purple flair" He said

"Yes we need help Derek is injured really bad, It also looks like he has a broken arm" Riker said

I couldn't stand to listen to this and used my 3DM gear to get up a tree, I saw Noah then talking to Keo. Rumer and Riker helped poor Derek into the wagon and Alli covers him with a blanket, I feel like it was my fault, I wasn't there for Derek.



Mark's POV:


I walked back to the Andrews Hall with Witney

"Good job Wit!" I said nudging her arm she laughs


"Thanks Mark! You were like fire out there!"

I smiled "Your too kind!"

I saw a wagon go by I looked at Witney and she looked back at me and walked to see who got hurt, walked a little ahead of it so we can see it go past us I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw it was Derek, my best friend since we we're 9

No it can't be! I couldn't believe it.

"Shock" Witney said

I saw Rumer walk behind it I grabbed her arm and brought her to me.

"What happened?!" I was urgent for answers


"He got slammed by a Titan and broke his arm." she said saddened


"No one was there with him?" I saw Nastia in a tree in the distance behind Rumer.


I looked at Rumer and she was really sad I could tell, I zip-lined to the tree Nastia was in I saw her balled up crying.

I landed on the tree, she looked up at me. I was standing in my batman pose because I knew I was behind the moon.

I put my blade up to her

"Talk. Now" I demanded, she wiped her tears


"I'm sorry Mark, I didn't know what was going on I-I just-" I slowly lowered my blade, she was having a hard time talking I sat down next to her.


"It wasn't your fault, was it?" I said, I sat down with my arm wrapped around her.


"No It wasn't, I should of been with him" She said placing her head on my shoulders


"Things like this happen out here, this is not a game. We put our life on the line for humanity." I said I looked at Nastia, here eyes were closed. Poor thing is really upset about Derek.


"Cmon, you need some rest" She looked up and nodded

We jumped down from the tree and walked to the Andrews Hall buy the time we got there everyone was already in bed except Riker, we heard him in the eating hall.


He was sitting alone

"Riker?" I asked, he looked up and smiled "Mark! Nastia!" he said.

I turned to Nastia "I want you to go to bed ok?"


"Ok." Nastia said as she went to bed


"What are you doing here?" Riker asked me


"I think the real question is what are YOU doing here." I said as I walked to the table and sat down.

"I just need time to think" He said looking down at the table "Derek is my cousin and we never got to spend alot of time together growing up, not like you and Derek you guys are like brothers" He said


"That is true, hey we should get to bed" I got up and Riker followed.


"Night" Riker said as he was getting ready for bed.

I smiled and went to bed as well.
