Amoung The Shadows

Chapter 7- Change

I woke up feeling more tired than usual. Strange...
I took a cool and quick shower and began to get ready. Today Teresa and I would 'wing it' and go save our boyfriends. Well...my boyfriend and Teresa's crush...

I dressed in all black once again. I brought a bow with a quiver, a sword, and some daggers that could count as throwing knives from the training area. I ran my fingers along the wood of the bow and noticed a small mark, barely noticable I noticed that it was writing. One small word it read, I have to say I am not surprised. We all mark our teritory in some ways, this person likes to carve their name on their property
Mary
She has really nice hand writing!
This is the last straw, now I am inspired to find out what I can about this notorious Mary.

I only put on a little bit of makeup today. I wont need as much when I am hiking and possible even battling things. Here we go.
I made sure all of my weapons were well hidden and stepped out. Teresa was waiting for me near the bon fire pit. She was also quite suited up, I suspect she woke up earlier than I did therefore arriving earlier.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Teresa, did you grab any breakfast by any chance. I think it would be weird if we walked in to the kitchen in our adventure gear."
Teresa smiled and nodded while saying, "Yep, I sure did. Here, I got us sandwiches."She smiled widely. So did I
"I think we should eat them when we are a good amount away from the camp. The sooner we set out, the better." She nodded in agreement and we walked off into the forest. The dark, scary, misterious forest.

After a few minutes of walking, we sat down to eat. The sandwiches were good.
I had gotten the food for our journey yesterday, but asked Teresa to get the breakfast so that nobody suspected our disapearence. Teresa had told people that I felt ill and was not able to go out of my cot and that she would be nursing me. That was the plan.

I remember Newt saying that the Lost Boys were going to hunt in the direction of the mermaid lagoon the day that they dissapeared, so that is the direction we set out in.

Suddenly, I heard a russeling sound coming from the bushes near Teresa and I. I sprang up from the log I sat on and held my sword at ready whoever this person was, they would not be able to hurt Teresa, not on my watch.
She giggled at me. "What?" I asked questioningly. "That was a rabbit. Dont worry, it wont eat you!" She began to laugh now. I shushed her, partly because I was speechless and partly because I was scared. This was going to be harder than I thought...
