You can't hold it in forever...

Not-so-creepypasta

*Kat pov*

     "Wake up little lass." I open my eyes. It's been two days sence Herbert brought me here and today is the day that I start walking again. Before, I had just been able to walk around my room before collapsing from exhaustion in my bed.

      I stand up and take a slow hesitant step towards him. Then another, then another, and then I stand next to Herbert.

     "Let's go the others have been dieing to meet you." We slowly walk down a long wooden hallway. Herbert never asked me many things but he was curious about the bow and arrow set I had with me.

    "It was a present, from my dad."

    "Interesting. I'm glad I grabbed it."

      As we were walking down the hallway I heard some chatter, like a lot of people talking. Younger people. Teenagers. We walked into a big room with a bunch of kids and teenagers ranging from 10 to 18 by the looks of it. When we walked in every one went silent.

     "HELLO EVERYONE THIS IS KAT!!" He pointed to me."I RESCUED HER TWO DAYS AGO FROM ONE OF ZALGO'S MINIONS, JANE-" this was met by a LOT of boos and hisses "-I HOPE YOU MAKE HER FEEL AT HOME UNTIL SHE DECIDES WHAT TO DO." I looked closer at the group. There were a few more boys than girls and some of the older ones had big scars. Suddenly from the back I heard a slithering kind of noise and everyone made way for this....creature. It was like a pale hairless man with twisted joints but, he moved with such smoothness it was almost like he was slithering.

    "I have a question." He said when he got up to Herbert and me. "Why would the dark Lord want to capture you?" I froze. Whispering broke out among the people as they waited for an answer. I couldn't tell them the truth. They might throw me out, but if I tell them a lie they might figure that out to.

    "Well I'm waiting." The creature said. I think his name is The Sandman but I'm not sure. I look at him. Then at the crowd. Then at Herbert. They were all waiting for an answer. What do I say?

    "I-I don't know." I finally manage to say.

    "Your lying. Zalgo wouldn't send out his best murderer to kidnap a victim. So I ask you again. WHY WOULD ZALGO WANT TO CAPTURE YOU." Everyone in the crowd was dead silent. I was about to tell them. About to tell the truth when;

    "HEY! LEAVE HER ALONE!" someone within the group yelled. A girl by the sound of it. Sandman whipped around facing whoever spoke up. Then on the other side of the room;

    "YA PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!" A boy on the other side of the room spoke up. Sandman whipped back around to face the disturbance. Suddenly all around the room people started to speak up.

    "GRRAAAH!! FINE DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU WHEN HE COMES!!" Sandman stormed off to the back of the room but before he left someone in the crowd yelled out;

    "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" The crowd erupted in laughter and even Herbert who had been straight faced this entire time cracked a smile.

    "Well looks like they like you. I just leave you to get settled in." He walked away down the hallway Sandman disappeared to. Everyone started to quiet down.

    "So Kat," a boy and girl stepped forward. They looked 17-18ish. The boy was speaking. "Can you fight? Or are you just a softie?" The room went silent.

     "I can fight...I think." I haven't fired my bow sence I was 5.

     "We'll see. TO THE BATTLEFIELD!!" Everyone ran to one of the hallways.

    "C'mon lets go!" The girl smiled at me. "I'm Fives and that's Basher." We started running after the group of kids.

    "Are those your real names?" I asked.

    "No just nicknames. My real name in Cristina and that's Will. When we get here we earn a nickname." Fives turned down a corridor and led us out side.

    The Battlefield was a huge field of cleanly cut grass with some targets and an obstacle course. Around the edges of the field was the forest. On the edge of the forest and the Battlefield was a small shed. I walked to the middle of the field where everyone was gathered.

     "OK KAT CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON!" Everyone started cheering as Fives and Basher stepped forward. Fives had a bow  in her hand and Basher had a sword in his. I stepped forward. Everyone fell silent. I grabbed the bow from Fives's hand. A cry went up among a small group of people including Fives.

     "PROVE YOUR SKILL!!" Fives yelled out and a group of people ran over to one of the targets and faced it to me.

    "This is a 50 yard shot. If you make at least one of your arrows on the target, even if it's on the the very edge, your in. If you don't make it then you train to be a swords woman. Got it?" I nodded yes. I can do this. Someone tossed me a quiver with three arrows in it. I notched the first arrow then pulled back. I aimed just above the bullseye. *Futtu* *Thump* The arrow landed right in the middle of the target.

    "WOW a perfect shot! Not bad. MOVE THE TARGET BACK TO 100!!" Fives yelled out. The people who had moved the target in the first place went back over and moved it back farther. I notched another arrow. *Futtu*...*Thump* Another bullseye! Fives signaled the kids to move the target back farther. 200 yards this time! I notched the last arrow. Pulled it back and *Futtu*......*Thump* A perfect bullseye!

     "WOW you are AMAZING!" Fives ran up to me. "Now I will choose your mentor. Every new recruit needs to have one and when your mentor deems you worthy, you get a nickname!" Everyone quieted down as she thought of who my mentor should be.

    "Well I haven't taken on an apprentice in a while so... I guess I'll be your mentor!" She smiled.

    "Let's go get you a bow." She started to walk off towards a the shed on the side off the field.

    "Wait I already have a bow." I said to her. She turned around.

    "You do? Great let's go get it!" We walked back inside and grabbed my bow.

   "This is a good looking bow, where did you get it?" She asked me when she saw my bow.

    "Oh uh it was a gift from my dad." I said a little nervously.

    "Cool. Now that you have a bow let's go to your new room." We walked back to the big room and down another hallway.

    "This is where the apprentices sleep and this is where you will be staying." She opened a door. My memories shifted back to when I woke up in the Slenderman house. The room looked like my room in the Slenderman house only this room was a bit more...happy.

    "I'll leave you to get settled in." She closed the door behind her. I put my bow by my bed and looked out the window. The sun was setting and I had a perfect view of the Battlefield. I sigh. It seems that every time I try to get a good home it dosen't last.
