ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They were booking it through the forest, while trudging through deep snow no less. All they could hear was their own footsteps. The forest itself. was vacant. No animals. no people, just the creeks of the trees in the distance. Nothing. It was as if the forest itself was keeping secrets from them. And no matter how far they ran, nor for how long, it would always withhold it's truths from their eyes. Everything was silent, until... gunfire.

Sariel's eyes immediately darted in the direction of her grandmothers cabin. The shots seemly rang out from that general area. But the girl knew better then to take the bait. Robin however, wanted to go back, but she insisted not to with a simple, yet stern "No."

"But your Grandmother?"

"She'll be fine."

Robin growled at the young women. "How the hell can you be so sure!?"

"Look!" Sariel turned on her heels and glared hotly at the boy wonder. They were evenly matched it seemed, for a moment the two just glared at one another, both taking a stand on what they thought was the right way to go about things. "She risked a lot to get you out of the damn house, if we go back now, everything she did for you would be in vain, and I won't let that happen."

Robin gritted his teeth, but as much as he loathed to admit to it, she was right. Even though leaving someone behind to die wasn't high on his list of priorities, going back would be a deathtrap. "We need to move forward." It seemed Sariel had the final say.

Crack.

"What the...?" The two huddled down and tried their best to blend in with the trees and snow. Both kept an eye out for any kind of intruder. However, it was pitch black, with nothing but the moonlight spilling in from the cracks in the treetops. They sat there for awhile in silence. There was nothing at first, but soon a small unit of the Brotherhoods troops passed them by. Robin looked to the girl beside him and put a finger to his lips to signal complete silence. The two stayed quiet until they thought it was clear. Robin automatically went into detective mode, looking for any leads as to where they came from or where they were going. "We should follow them. See how they got here so fast."

"It's easy to track someone down in three days Robin." The young hero narrowed his masked eyes at the girl. "We were the ones foolish to stay here." she said. "You can't trust anyone... We need to get going."

"AHA! Knew you were hiding somewhere." It was one of the Brotherhood troops. One of them must of doubled back to check if they were hiding out. The trooper pulled out a gun and aimed it at their heads. Sariel, seeing this, wasted no time and pulled a gun from her own holster, dropped to the ground and shot the man in the head, well before the trooper could even get a shot off. Robin was in shock, then in rage as he turned to Sariel whom was picking herself up from the floor.

"YOU KILLED HIM!"

"And?"

"WHY!?"

"He was going to KILL us!"

"That doesn't-"

CRACKLE...

"What the-?" It was coming from the body. They turned to look and saw it spark, as if it was never human to begin with. "This isn't-"
