The Legends

Tears steamed down my face.  

I held Scarlet's hand tight.  

I knew this was the only way.

Ha we were born to die and for what for the tribes to get into another war.  

But I had to or else the whole system will fail and we will be to blame.  

I looked for the other two.  

They held no expression.  

It is hard to process this.  

But I closed my eyes and let myself be dragged out into the Unknown once more.

Two Years Earlier

I woke up to a shattering screech.  

Jumping up and of course frightened.  

7 years in these woods and I am still afraid of the noises madde in the night.  

I took a deep breath and climbed up a tree.  Something about those tall plants that make me feel secure...and safe.  

I followed a branch as far out as I could and then I jumped.

 I landed hard on the nearest tree branch the nieghbor tree of the one I jumped off of.  

I piked up the pace the more trees I jumped until I almost felt...free and safe.  

But there was something else I always felt the faster I jumped the trees like I ws swimming in the air gliding like a boat in the water.  

I stopped at the last tree and looked down to see the long way down the cliff to the rough waved sea.  

It was dawn when the fish came up to the shallow waters and the catfish came off the cliff rocks to the surface.  

That was my food catfish big and meaty made for hearty meals.

 But of course this comes with a price. 

They are aggressive and dangerous they try to fling you off by slamming you against the rocks.  

Thats why I go as far away from the rocks as I possibly can.  

My trick is when I see the fish I jump from high above so when I land I land on them breaking their spine and hopefully their neck.  

The hard part is swimming to shore.  

Because I sure as hell dont want to go near the rocks.  

I backed up a little for a running start I had to let the wind pick up a little to jump to stay longer in the air. 

It is hard to run in dewy moss but I sprinted when a gust a wind started to blow.  

My feet  came together quikly at theedge and pushed.

There comes that feeling again.  

The feeling of freedom and security.  

Honestly I dont know why I want to feel free.  I mean I alone here I can have all the frredom I could want.

 No.

I feel left out I have no choices cause all I want is to go back.  

But I am a disgrace an outlaw.  

I was going to be one of the most respected people in my tribe.  

Now for the firs time in history the Legend isnt honoured they are forbidden forever.

I spread my whole body out in the air to slow my fall.

Still with the wind and the spreading of my body I only had a few seconds to spot a catfish and angle myslef towards one.  

I tryed to look for any tails or fins but today the water was really rough and the wavves created thick foam.

I looked frantically I was running out of time!  

And the I saw it the black sleek object.

Even though I only saw a piece of the fish I could tell where it was going and it was headingfairly cloe to the rocks.  

But I had no choice it was too late and I had to eat. I tucked my body into a ball then quickly into a dive position causing me to go backwards thanks to the wind.

I kept my form sleek so I would pick up speed.

 I made my hands open up so they face the water to catch my meal.

 I closed my eyes bracing my self for something solid.

 The cold water grasped me as I fell into the water.

 But I didn't feel the catfish that I was supposed to have broken by now.

I tryed to get to the surface.  The something hit me...hard. I was pushed to the direction of the rocks.  

I tryed to looked around but I was slammed again.  

I needed air.

The catfish was no where to be seen but I knew it was going to try to slam me.  

So I went deeper into the ocean swimming as fast as I could away from the rocks.  

But the catfish came from underneath me and pushed me towards the surface.

I swam up my lungs were burning.  But just as I  was about to take a breath a wave swept and over me and that when it hit me.  

Well in that moment two things hit me: the wave of course and the repeating thought that I wasn't going to make it out alive in this situation.  

I tryed to pull away but once more the catfish charged and ushed hard against the rocks.

 I was pain stricken.  I coulnt breath and I was bleeding like crazy.  

Once more the catfish thrusted onto me against the sharp rocks.  

My body was weak and I didnt have any energy.  

I could feel my slef sinking lower and lower.  

I closed my eyes this isn't how I imagined myself dying.  

Just then I was jolted hard under.

Now the sharks would get to me.

But something had a firm grip on me and carried me to the surface. I could make out only two things a boat and a face before I blacked out
