I quickly climb up into the base and grab my bow and a quiver of arrows. I also grab the first knife I can find and shove it in my pocket incase I need it.

I climb back down and look around. I don't see any sign of movement but I knew better than to let my guard down. All of the sudden I hear something coming quickly at me from the right. I duck as a human shaped figure swings a sword where my head should have been. I back up and turn on my flashlight. It is Roy. I couldn't really tell at first because of all the cuts and bruises and his short haired, almost bald head. I put my weapons down at first but he shows no signs of lowering his guard so I put my bow around my body and take out my knife and hold it out. "What are you doing here?" I say "Getting revenge." says Roy in an angry voice. "For what" I say, confused. What was he talking about? then all the sudden instead od just answering me he lunges out at me with his sword. I deflect it and yell "CAN"T WE JUST TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING". He takes another shot at stabbing me in the head but I deflect it again. "I'll take that as a no" I say. He takes blow after blow at me and I just continue deflecting them. I haven't took one shot yet. I am still to confused about what is happening. When he almost cuts off my arm is when I have had enough. I try to punch him in the face with my fist but he grabs my arm and flips me over right on a fallen tree. I wince in pain. "Give up?" says Roy. "Never" I say as I spring up to my feet. We continue trying to stab each other until we hear someone coming. we both freeze. "This isn't over" says Roy. Then before I can react he cuts my shoulder and runs. I do everything I can to stop from screaming in pain. Then I realize I better go and I start to run in the direction of home but suddenly a human comes out from behind a tree. I sprawl out behind a bush and try to conceal myself as well as I can. I look around the bush and I see the human coming towards me. I know I can't be found so I do the first thing that comes to mind. I throw my knife at him. As soon as I hear him scream in pain, I start to run.
