Of course. At that exact moment I just HAD to be a klutz. As I fall towards the ground I turn around thinking. *If I'm gonna die like this I'm gonna see the face of this killer.* But as I turn I see something I did not expect. As the Psycho leaped toward its kill it let loose a scream, that I was ready for but what happened next had to have been a miracle, the scream was cut short. As I watched the smooth forehead of the Psyco turned into a unicorn I thought *WTF?*
I stand quickly, firing an extra arrow into its head. Then I turned to see Riley. She's smiling like a possum and her feet are squared. I quickly put two and two together, Riley just saved my life. So I do what anyone else would, I walk up to her and smile a small smile.
"Thanks dude. That was epic." At this her smile widened then she offered me a high five, I accepted her offer
"That's for saving our butts back there."
At this I raise my eyebrows but she's already turned and is heading toward a slackjawed Jace (honestly I couldn't blame him. I mean, who thought little Riley would take it down? Not me)
I shrug and pull my arrow out if it's head along with their knife.
"Here." I say handing it to Jace "We need to keep moving. Those people will be up and Sickly in a few minutes and I want to be as far away as possible.
As we walk through the woods the two behind me are oddly quiet. At first I don't notice it, used to the silence, but then I look back there and they're not even walking beside each other. Not one to be nosy I just turn back around and keep walking. Finally, unable to stand this oddity I turn around "What's up with you two? Get in a fight or something?"
Jace shot me a look then cast his eyes down. It was Riley who answered the question
"We're heading toward the lab that his parents died at." She says it so nonchalant, as if they've already discussed this and I wasn't there, which I guess is the case.
I raise my eyebrows "You're sure?"
"Positive." She answers nodding along with her words.
" Does he want to go some different direction?"
At this he speaks up
"No. It'll have food and bottled water." He's still looking down
I think about it for a second, masking my hesitation. "I'm going, y'all can come if you want."
"I'm with Willo." I hear Riley say, once again My eyebrows raise
Jace shrugs "And I'm with you."
"So we're all going?"
"Yes."
"Yeah" Jace.
"Ok then, let's keep moving for at least another hour, then I'm climbing a tree."
With this I turn before waiting for confirmation and forge ahead.
