Leafys POV
It's dark. Too dark. Where's Firey? I looked frantically for my friend, when the hard reality hit me. He was gone. He was probably back home now, with everyone. I miss home. Yoyleland is boring. I have nightmare. Nightmares of the night I lost Firey. The night I came back from collecting water, and he was gone. All that was left were scorch marks on a tree, and a love heart in the mud, with a muddy stick next to it. A tear rolled down my face. I climbed up a tree and looked across Yoyleland. All I could see was darkness. Dark. Dark. Dark. My eyes scanned the area. I was about to climb down, when a flicker of light caught my eye. It looked like a flame. It was a flame. "FIREY!" I yelled at the top of my voice. I jumped down from the tree and sprinted as fast as I could. I could feel the breeze picking up behind me. With every leaping stride I took, the wind helped me glide through the air. I got higher and faster with every step. "FIREY!" I screamed repeatedly. By the time I could see him in the distance, I was almost flying. I pushed myself so hard, I almost ran straight through him. "Firey!" I cheered happily. The smile faded of my face when I noticed he was accompanied by Pin and Golfball. "Hey! It's Leafy! GET HER!" Pin screamed. Snowball leaped out of the shadow and pinned me down. "Get. Off. ME!" I growled. I kicked him hard and leapt up. "LEA-" Firey tried to all out, when someone covered his mouth with a blindfold. Pin clicked, and Eraser and Pen came and pulled him away. Pin came over to me. "So. We meant again." She taunted. "What do you want with me....." I mumbled through gritted teeth. "Oh you know very well...." She smiled deviously. She grabbed me violently. "Stay away from Firey. Stay away from Goiky. Stay away from us. We don't like outsiders. Like you." She smirked. "What makes you think I'm the outsider? Why, it could be you who is the outsider!" Everyone gasped. "You know who you belong with? Spongey, Rocky, Teardrop and Woody. The weirdos. That's who you belong with!"
"Why are they any different?"
"There loners! No one likes them. There outsiders."
"Maybe I like them! You know what Pin? I wish me never made an alliance with you, cause your a bully!" I pushed her backwards. Everyone gathered round her. She was obviously the ring leader of all this. I ran towards Firey, and pulled him out of Pen and Erasers tight grasp. I ripped of the blindfold round his mouth, and pulled him along. I was about to run off into he forest, away from Pin, away from the harm, when I heard a soft sobbing. I turned round to see Spongey and Rocky stood, a sad look on their faces, behind Teardrop who was hugging Woody, who was crying. He was probably terrified of what was going on. I sat Firey down on a rock, and ran towards them. "Pst, guys! Come with me!" They looked up, and smiled when they saw it was me. The followed me to Firey, then we ran. All six of us ran until we reached a bridge over a really wide river. We all ran across. When we reached the other side, I got Firey to burn the bridge. Now it was impossible to cross. We travelled for a bit longer. It was morning when we found a reasonable temporary camp. Me and Firey watched the others. Spongey and Rocky were playing tic tac toe in some mud. But my main focus was Teardrop and Woody. Teardrop despised Woody, but now they were getting along like a house on fire. The funny thing is, there helping each other. Ever since the became friends, Woody been less scared, and a lot happier. But the biggest shocker? Woody's actually got Teardrop to speak. It shocked us so much. It was a couple of mornings ago. I woke up at 7, and walked over to where we kept the food, when a small, sweet voice spoke. "Morning, Leafy!"
"Morning TD...... Wait, what?!??" She's doing well. She's getting good. She can't really make sense of sentences, but she can express her feelings. I often find her saying to Woody "I like you." I know Woody was proud of her. He's always loved Teardrop. "Hey leafy!" Firey smiled at me as he climbed up the tree I was sat it. He sat on the branch next to me. "Thanks so much for saving me." I smiled . "It's nothing..." I blushed. "You know, it's nice...." He sighed. "What's nice?" I asked. He turned to me, and looked straight into my eyes. "It's nice to know I have Someone to Rely on..."
