"No need to fear darling, unless of course you're up for a fight. Then I'd be worried"
"I'm not scared of you" my hands steadied to stop any visible shaking.
"Oh well that's good, this will be fun now"
He, still not taking out any weapon, took a few steps towards me.
"Stay back!" I wasn't taking any chances.
"Come on lass, lighten up"
He jumped down through the trees to the ground. I looked to see him peering back up, having landed on both feet.
"Come on then, if you're not scared"
I took a deep breath and tightened my grip on the sword in my hands.
My legs started shaking so I jumped, clenched my eyes shut and held my breath. I only exhaled once I'd realised that I was safely on the ground. I looked up from the floor.
The boy was nowhere to be seen. I lifted my sword up again in case he leapt out.
"Not too shabby" he was leant up against a tree and had his arms folded. "I'm impressed you know. Didn't think you had it in you"
"Don't underestimate me...?"
"That's none of your business"
"Next time I won't bother touchy"
He paced towards me and the fear I'd pushed to the bottom of my stomach returned back up.
"Paolo would be proud"
"So you're one of them?"
"God no. I'm like you. Escapee!"
He dragged out the last word theatrically in an attempt to impress me.
"On the run then?"
"Quite recently yes. Heard a lot about you while I was there y'know. Interesting stuff"
"Don't let it damage your judgement on me"
"Trust me it's pretty out there to begin with."
I laughed a little.
"Well, cheers for err... That" I nodded in the direction of the tied up boy.
"My pleasure"
"I don't want to hurt you by the way" he added as I began into the woods.
"But why help?"
"Because everyone will need help, even me. It'll come round the day when I will need a favour and let's just say you owe me a few. I've helped you more than you realise."
I faced him and sighed.
"Would you like to come with me?" I asked a little agitated.
"Thought you'd never ask!" He joked and pretended to run into my arms.
"Cute" I said. "But we need to get moving before his lot get back."
The boy walked up to the tree and knocked the other out with a nearby log.
"That'll keep him quiet. Chandler by the way. Chandler Riggs"
Chandler offered me a slightly bruised hand to shake and I held it gingerly.
"I would like to say nice to meet you chandler. But I'm afraid that would be an incredible lie!"
With that we walked off into the woods uncertain of what was to come.
(By the way I am starting a Seventeen fanfic. It is hopefully going to be really good and just wanted to let any k-pop fans know. Even if you haven't heard of k-pop, first listen to seventeen then please check it out. I am planning to work really hard on it and would really appreciate your support and feedback on it. Let me know about any mistakes or anything i could change etc. Love you all!!!)
