I look up at my attacker. He has black hair and dark brown eyes which look furious.
"Erik what's going on?" I look over and see it's Luke who asked the question.
"Your little friend was trying to hurt Lucy" he said
"I was not!" I scream back defensively. The man, Erik glares back at me and starts to walk over. I scramble back a bit and then stand up, though it doesn't help as I'm about 5'2 and he'a about 6'.
"Then why was she yelling at you then sweetheart?"
" She.." I begin, but then look over at Lucy who is behind Erik, and her eyes are pleading with me not to tell him.
"Well?" Erik asks getting impatient.
"Nothing Erik it's fine" Lucy says as she grabs his arm to make him face her.
"If it was nothing then you wouldn't be screaming now would you?" He asks her unconvinced.
"Erik please just drop it" She pleads with him.
He looks at me and then back at her and then I hear him let out a sigh.
"Fine" he then turns and looks at me.
"But if I hear of you causing any more trouble then I won't be as forgiving" he says threateningly, and as I look down I see his hand holding onto a knife handle that's attached to his belt.
"Fine with me" I say looking straight at him.  I've already appeared weak enough today so I'm trying to not sound too pathetic.
"Hmh" he says and walks off.
"Sorry about him" Luke says as he walks over.
"No no it's fine" I say even though I can hear my heart pounding in my ears.
"He was just protecting Lucy" I say and I hope that's really the reason.
Lucy walks over and stands next to me. "Yeah but he can be a bit well..agressive sometimes, maybe overprotective may be the better word."
"Hmhm" I look around and see a bunch of guys staring at us.
"Ok ok the entertainment for the year's over you can stop staring now"
Luke says to them all and makes a 'move along' motion with his hands, and they all go back to what they were doing, some of them are packing up their sleeping things others go  back to talking to each other, everyones awake, well how could they sleep with all the noise we just made? That's when I notice something that I completely missed before. How could I have missed this?
"You're all guys" I say aloud.
"Yeah? Thought you would have noticed that by now?" Luke says.
"Yeah you think I would have noticed that".
