The sun is slowly rising as I enter the woods. It's light beams over the mountain as it starts the new day. Or it is ripping the night sky to shreds. I'm in that kind of mood. My mind is at war with its self, on one hand I am furious at my father for not telling me about how I was adopted. But on the other hand, I would have probably done the same if I were in his shoes. Wait a second, why aren't I still sad about mum's death. Then again, she was never my real mother.
"Why hello there."
I am going to kill whoever just interrupted my thoughts.
"What are you doing in the woods all alone little girl."
"I am NOT a little girl!!"
"Well your sure acting like one!!"
I swing my fist behind me where the voice was. Only to have it caught by some big, rough hands. It felt like they were burned.
"Great swing you got there!! I can tell your not new at this."
"And I can tell that your a stuck up ass!!"
"Your probably right. What about you??"
"None of your business, now can you please let go of my hand!!"
"Fine, but on one condition."
"What!!"
"You tell me your name."
"Bella. So can you please let go of me now?!"

I can feel his grip loosen so I pull my hand away from his. Though now that we have stopped arguing, he does look kinda cute. Stop it Bella, you don't have time for this!!

"Are you going to tell me your name??"
"Nah, don't feel like it."
"Excuse me!!"
"Well you should be able to figure it out."

Anger is swelling up inside me. I want to break him in two. I don't care if it is over a stupid name!!

"Ow!! What are you doing to me!!"
"WHAT IS YOUR NAME!!"
"F-fine. It's Zac!!"
"That's a good boy!!"

I go to turn around and walk away, but then Zac runs up and blocks me. I swear if he doesn't move, I'm gonna kill him!!

"How did you do that?!"
"Do what?"
"Make my head feel like it's going to explode!!"
"I don't know what your talking about."
"Only the tribal leaders have magic, and I have never seen you before!!"
"Ohh, I get it now!! Your Zac, that fire leaders son. That's why your hands are burnt."
"I told you you would figure it out!"
"I guess you did."
"But I still want to know how you did that!!"
"I don't know how and you aren't going to tell anyone."
"A girl just made my head feel like it's going to explode, yeah I might tell someone about that."
"No you won't, because they will think your crazy, and I will find you, and I will kill you!!"
"Fine I won't tell anyone!! But I am curious, what tribe are you from??"
"No idea, I'm adopted. But I live in the water tribe."
"Really?! What are you doing all the way out here!! The water tribe hates the woods."
"I'm not from the water tribe remember!!"
"Oh yeah."
"I have to get going, so bye."
"Do you have to go!! I want to know more about you."
"Bye bye. Oh and before I forget. Don't come looking for me!!"

So I left without another word.
