From the shadows, I ride into the cool night. I scanned the tree line for unseen attackers that might be hidden. I was the only movement on the desolate land. My mind never wandered, for we were at war and I was wanted. I had been captured and beaten many times but I was the one to escape. Not the lone escapee but one of the few. My wounds were still fresh from my last beating and I was vulnerable to attack more so than ever. "Hello." a voice said behind me. I froze and my hand dropped to my dagger. "Don't. I'm a friend." The voice said. "Then who are you?" I asked. "I'm one you know well. I fought along side you many times. You knew me before all this." He said. "It cant be." I turned around and saw someone we had presumed dead. "Eli." I said in astonishment. He nodded. "I was one to escape the beatings but I knew they would find me so I disappeared into the shadows we know well." I nodded. "The old team is back together but your the only one I care about." He said. Would these words be our downfall is the question that hung in my mind. In the same moment a gun rang out and we were its victims.
