Chapter 5

"We should stay at the top of the mountain tonight." Aron says later that night."Why?" I ask raising an eyebrow."Duh Sara, the north soldiers are down there." Aron say pointing down to mountain. "So? we'll have to fight eventually." I say. " but you need to rest." Aron says."Ugh fine." I sat laying down on the ground and closeing my eyes."dont you want to eat first?" Aron asks. "I don't have much food,I'll be fine." I say. "I brought enough for both of us." Aron says. I sit up.

"Really?" I ask eagerly. "Yeah, here." Aron laughs handing me some bread. I tear into it. I didn't how hungry I was.

"Thanks Aron." I say sweetly After we finish eating. "Dont mention it." Aron says laying down a few feet away from me."good night." he says. "Night" I anwser.

"Sara, wake up." Aron says in the morning. I sit up and rub my eyes. The sun is shining brightly over the mountains."Beautiful day huh?" Aron says leaning against a tree."C'mon let's go." Aron say heading toward the valley full of north soliders. I jump up and run after him."Uh you know how to fight right." Aron asks carefully."of course." I replie."Kai showed my how to

Use a bow and arrow when I was little

and I've been doing it for awhile so I guess I'm pretty good at it." I anwser falling into step with him."Good."he says relived.Aron suddenly stops and puts an arm out to stop me too."What?" I ask scanning the area carefully.".....there they are." Aron says pointing toward a group of men in uniforms. He grins. "You ready?"

"Wait,I've got an idea." I say stopping him."We don't have any weapons right?" I ask."No but I can fight with my hands you should probably stay behind til it's safe though." He says trying go at them again."Wait."I say again grabbing his arm."What?" he asks impatently."climb the trees!" I say excitedly. "What?" Aron asks again."The trees! If we climb the trees and get right above them we could-"I'm cut off by the sound of the men yelling."Shhh."

Aron says holding up his hand.We both duck down behind trees."Follow my lead."I whisper to Aron.I begin to climb the tree. Aron does the same to his tree.when we get to the top of our trees we climb the limbs to the next tree. We are almost above the men when Aron stops."now what?" he mouths.I grin."watch this." I mouth back.I sit on the branch above one of the men. His back is turn along with the other men.I steady myself then locking my legs they hit another branch as I lean back.when I'm completely upside down I reach into the mans backpack and silently pull out his weapons.after getting them all I sit back up and hold them up to show Aron.He looks amazed.I point to the man under him,he nods.I watch nevously as he does exactly what I did.he sit up and holds up the weapons proudly.I smile,then head back the way we came,Aron follows.After we climb down from the trees we spead the weapons out on the ground."Such advanced weapons."Aron mutters.I nod."what is this?" I ask him holding up a small object. "Its an advanced type of gun." he explains."I'm surpised they let those men have these,one shot and it can instantly kill you." Aron says.

I look at the rest of the weapons.there's knifes swords and arrows but not a bow."why would they have arrows but not a bow?" I ask Aron."they use those to kill after they shoot,I hear they also pin people to the trees with them." Aron explains."Oh."I say biting my lip."but don't worry I won't let them do that to you." he says.for a moment it's awkwardly quite. "Uh thanks, you ready to go now?" I ask standing up.he nod and stand up also.we gather the weapons and slowly sneak up on the men. When we ate right behind then Aron motions for me to strike I nod.then taking a deep breath I pull out a sword and stoke down one of the men.he screetches in pain and falls to his knees cluching his side where I struck him.he other men look up in alarm.no one moves for a split second,then they all pull out there weapons and run at me.I stand there shaking as Aron jumps from the bushes and strikes them all down. I drop my sword and stare at the bodies.Aron turns around grinning with pride but when he notices my face he drops his sword and rushs back to me."Sara are you hurt?" he says shaking me."aron look at what we've done."I whisper falling into his arms helplessly.Aron holds me tightly."Sara calm down...you know they're just clones right?" he says softly. I pull away."Clones?" I ask. "Yeah." he says "just clones.....and trust me there's plenty of them so no need to cry over these guys." he laughs. "I wasn't crying Ive just never...killed someone." I say quitly. Aron picks up my sword and hands it to me."well these things are programes to kill anyone who trespasses so it was us it them." he says getting his sword and cleaning it on the grass."C'mon we should keep moveing." He says."right." I say taking one last look at the clone I killed I follow Aron toward to next mountain
