The Archers Mark (on hold)

Arrows and Aggression pt1

Cindys pov.

I sat down outside the gate as Flames and the others looked up at the castle in aw.

"So this is the front of the castle? All I ever see was the tower in the training hall." She stated.

I nodded. Looking up as the sun beat down on us from above. "yeah, looks like someone took a big match and just set it on fire." Sha stated. I tilted my head back looking at the giant walls that were only guarded by just that one person.

Why was there only one person guarding it?

"Maybe someone did?" I asked if something had happened then maybe that would count why the castle looked like what it did and why there's not that many people guarding it.

Flames looked at me wide eyed as if I had dropped one of General Karen's rockets on her. "You kidding me no one would attack us, really would they?" She stated.

I looked at her and nodded "Yeah that's it maybe someone did, Don't you remember what the villagers told us when we first got here?" I asked the others.

They looked at each other Flames perching herself next to the wall leaning on it. "Don't you remember that, that was two years and two Commanders ago?" Flames stated sarcastically.

Hilary nodded "Yeah Cindy a lots happened since then." She stated.

I sighed and nodded feeling the wind blow against my back softly. "Ok i'll give you that but It was like a um,, A Pirate group or something that attacked us and decimated all the recruits., they could have burned the castle then, because, if the recruits where gone then who would have been protecting the island?" I asked.

Flames looked at me holding her head and shaking it. "To much thinking makes my head hurt." She started.

I rolled my eyes. "Do you get it?" I asked. I mean my head was throbbing as well but I dealt with it.

Sha sat down with a plop and nodded "yeah I think I remember." I nodded. Hilary tilted her head, crossing her arms. "Then why would they allow Pirates on the island?" She asked.

I frowned. Not remembering or knowing the answers. We all grew silent wondering the same thing I think.

I zoned out after a while as I began to remember tidbits of last night and felt the soreness in my legs once again and groaned.

"You ok Cindy?" Sha asked as I opened my eyes and blushed a bit.

"Yeah fine, just a little sore." I stated truthfully. Hillary nodded "Me too those girls where really chucking those tomatoes at us. I swear I have more bruises then skin." She stated as she pulled up her sleeves to revel evil black bruises starting to form.

I smiled slyly. "Hillary I wasn't there." I stated. She looked at me as Flames stared at me wide eyed realization in her eyes.

Sha and Jordon who had joined us when I did began to giggle. Hillary still didn't understand, "That's right, then why are you sore?" She asked. I looked down at her giving a small smile and a blush.

"I may have broken the rules a bit." I said sheepishly. Flames looked at me sideways head against the wall and arms wrapped up on her torso. "Same Cindy." She stated. Everyone dropped there jaws.

"W-w-what? Lieutenant we see Cindy doing that but you?" Stated Ada who had recovered from passing out on the barracks floor. "Oi what the hell does that mean?" I stated growing angry. Sha laughed as Hillary stated "Whats going on?!"

"Flames broke a rule??" Someone asked. I ignored who.

"What do you mean you expected that from me?" I asked.
