Insanity

My Companions...

 Three days have passed since this dirty game has started, I have had to fight other campers to find shelters like ones up in a tree, or in a cave or the best one yet, the spots near the lake. All I have eaten is a bunch of salad, if you call roasted leaves and twigs a salad. I sigh and think to myself, shoot- if I keep this up all I will have is enemies. Without noticing I was near a slippery cliff I trip and fall off!

I manage to grab a thick branch and inhale real slowly from the scary experience. I study the situation around me, if I jump off I am gonna die, and it could be hours before notices me down here. I sigh and hear a cracking noise...don't tell me it's- the branch starts to rip and I immediately try to climb back up, but to no avail. When there is only a bit left of the branch, I tell myself-it's over... I suddenly hear chanting and a loud slamming noise which startles me. I levitate back to safety, that's strange who- before I can answer my own question some young woman runs up to me calling out, " Hey, are you ok?!" She slides to me on her knees and frightens me, what's she so worried about? Jeez... She helps me up and introduces herself to me formally," I am Nicolette Desini, a Wizard by blood, 22 years old. Um are you sure you're ok?" I nod quietly and she asks me what my name is, as I take a moment to answer before I can answer someone interrupts us.

A group of people come running up to us and young man scolds Nicolette for running off. He notices me and introduces himself, "You must be the girl that Nicolette saved, I am Ricardo Nydale, A Goliath, 24 years old. I am glad you are safe." This dude looks WAY to nice to be a size-shifting monster, I think to myself. Nicolette presented me to all the others, let's see Emily, Janelle, Kyle. Nicolette finally speaks out, "Um, there is one more in our group but he's out right now-"  We all turn our attention to a boy running up to us and I gasp. He places his hands on his knees and pants, slowly sputtering, "You guys I managed to find our shelter for tonight!" When he looks up to see me he gasps and stares, he suddenly spoke very loudly, "Hey I know you!" He runs up to me and puts his arm around me and explains out loud," No no guys she's no one suspicious, she's a pal Lisanna Selverine." He smiles at me like a kid, I don't like how I'm being treated, like an animal! I forcefully remove his arm and shake my head in dislike.

Everyone seems surprised, and Emily the Salamander speaks out, "You know her Aiden?" he nods and looks back at everyone, and says, "Hey hey guys!  I have an idea, why don't we let Lisanna travel around with us? It could be fun!" I tremble backwards as he says that, mostly everyone agrees except for the bus kills Kyle the Elf and Emily. Nicolette then questions me whether I accept their request, and I stay silent. I can't hurt their feelings, and I am better off being alone anyway. I shake my head and reply, "I'm sorry I can't, I mean there is not that much of a difference, and I don't mean to offend you all, it's just I'm better off on my own." No one says anything until Kyle speaks out, "So you want to go at it solo? What, you think you can kill 10 Demons all on your own and survive without a small union?" I answer back, "To be honest I want to try and see for myself what I can do, thanks for saving me Nicolette." I turn around and start walking towards a cave.

A week later I exited a tunnel with nothing to show for it. I head to a waterfall to shower, I remove my clothes and tie my long dark brown hair into a long braid, for half an hour I wash and take off all dirt and stench off my body. I have to watch out that no one *accidently* sees me naked, 2 days ago an 11 year old boy saw me bathing and ran away yelling, which has me traumatized ever since. After I dry off I hear clanging of blades and battle cries to my left and decide to head that direction. Before I reach the scene, I run up a tree and look from above at what's happening. I get shocked when I notice it's the same group of people from last week, only bruised up and bloody. When I turn my head to see their opponents, my hairs stand up and I sense the presence of murder and hatred- they're here, the stinky fiends: Demons.
