Shadows of Ash- Re-writing!!

Chapter Five

When the boys calmed down I walked back out. Hadrin was tending to the horses and Sam was tending the fire. I walked over to Sam first because I didn't know what to say to Hadrin. I just sat down next to the fire and waited. Sam seemed like he was in his own dreamland because of the way he looked at the fire. His expression was calm. I started to think of that dream thing I had. What was that all about? Did Sam and I live in the same house? Are we related?

"Do you remember anything?" He asked suddenly. I then remembered what had happened in the tent. I stayed quiet.

"Do you not like to talk around him, or is it that you're hiding something from me?" He asked with and accusing voice. I just shook my head.

"I'm not." Was all I said. I didn't want to tell him of the dream I had because I didn't know if it was real or not. Who was that man? What did he inject us with? I had stood up after giving my answer and walked over to Hadrin.

"I'm sorry you had to travel with him. I know that he was the reason you and Draco were separated." He said with a solemn face. I didn't know what to tell him. I fell for the same trick that Sam did. I shook my head again and whispered, "I'm sorry." His eyes widened as shock hit him. I grabbed the gray mare's reins, as Hadrin had saddled them up, and walked over to the food tent, grabbed some provisions, and looked back at a still stunned Hadrin. Sam looked back and forth between us. I shook my head and got on the horse. I went out of the camp at a gallop and once I knew I was out of sight I slowed to a walk. I felt like I was riding for hours before I decided to stop for a little bit.

I hopped off of the horse and tied her loosely to a tree stump. I sat down next to her and got out some food that I grabbed earlier. The shoulder of my left arm started to hurt like I scratched it or something. As I ate I heard some rustling in the bush a few feet away. I shrugged it off as a small rodent and got back on the gray mare. I rode for a little while longer before the rustling was louder and all of a sudden a girl with reddish brown hair jumped out from behind the shrubs. The mare jumped up from another girl with black hair that jumped out in front of us. I fell off of her and got the wind knocked out of me when I landed. I started to black out from not breathing. I see the two girls walk over to me. One was wearing silver armor with all of the straps for weapons and the other was wearing just a regular looking leather outfit. One thing that caught my eye was the small satchel of water by her side, and the water that was floating above her hands.

As Zero road out of the camp I walked up to Hadrin. He still looked shocked at what Zero had said to him, that she turned in Draco.

"Listen Hadrin I--" I was cut off by a little girl screaming. It was coming from the path to the village. Both Hadrin and I went over to the sound. What I saw made me go cld to the bone, it was a monster that had a huge head and as it goes down it gets smaller. The jaws of this thing took up almost all of its face, and out of its mouth was some sort of goo and underneath is was a small, frail looking girl. From what I can tell she wasn't dead. The beast also looked like it had some sort of gray mist coming from it.

"Hadrin, I'll go into the trees and while i'm climbing you distract the monster and will drop down and get the girl." He looked at me, "Will you please do this. I know that you're mad at me but we need to help her. I'm not that cold I promise." I looked at him with a begging expression and then he ran out to the monster. I hurriedly climbed up the tree that was slightly to the left of the girl. As Hadrin distracted the thing I dropped down and grabbed the girl in my arms. As I turned to yell for Hadrin I saw him get slashed my the things foot long claws. The wound quickly turned a black color and started oozing the stuff that was coming from the monsters mouth. I put the girl down in a tree that was out of reach from the thing, At least I hope it is. I ran to the back of the monster with both of my steel blue daggers and jumped on top of it with both of my daggers sliding into its back with ease. It screamed some unearthly howl as I slid down its back with my daggers still in it. When I got to the floor it turned around to where I had barely enough time to block its claws with my daggers, but not quick enough so It got my left shoulder a small bit. When it reached back to hit me again I stabbed it in its chest.
