The seekers

part2: Preperation

  The moon crept beyond the horinzon as the sun hid behind the descending clouds aluminating my friends and I in the vivedly Dark woods. The low hum of the wind as it passes over, under, and through our bodies smells so divinly fresh.

  Everyone of us stand their, my friends, it has been so long since we have ever been together at once. Nial, Darious, Josh, Warren, Johnna, Jane, Elle and I. The memeries bring tears to my eyes but i quicky wipe them away and glance around to see of any of them noticed but noone did so i go back in my thoughts only to be brought back to life by Nials' stern voice.

   " Is this MAN, coming or not, we dont have all day its been an hour and hes still not here!" Nial exclaims.

   " I see your impaient, mhh?" asks the man as he comes into veiw for all of us.

Hes got that sly grin of his slicked across his face; I try not to stare at his awkward featured face and start to fumble with the mossy rock underneth me.

   " Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Leon Persphere and i will be your trainer for the next couple of weeks while we train to find the book any questions?" he looks around, "Good lets go up here theres better lighting and better ground up there shall we," he says.

   We all walk up the hill, everyone ahead of someone taking the lead and then again coming in dead last. The air is fresh and i can feel the heat and temperature begin to rise and by the time we reach the top, everyone has sweat slick on their foreheads. I slump down on a rock like the one i had sat on down hill but this one feels more suitable for me.

   I look around and notice theres a little shack by two large trees and i guess the man.. er.. Leon notices what im looking at and says,

      "Ah, i see you noticed my shack, well thats where i keep all my suplies and if we're going to train now you all might as well go on over there and get ready find some training gear that fits your body and weapons not to deadly that suit you, alright?" we all no and walk towards the shack.

   I feel so worn out but dont want to refuse because i might or maybe even one of  my friends will suffer the consquences of  Leons wrath.

    "Alright how about we change first and you guys wait outside?" bellows Beth.

    "Yeah like we care to look while you guys change, get real Beth everyone here has know eachother since we were in diapers!" exclaims Josh.

  " I still dont care i dont want you guys in here while we change got it!?" shouts Beth.

And with that the boys huff and close the door and i can here and in a way see them lean on the boards of the shack and we start to change in total darkness.

   I grab and put on whatever feels right and start to put my hair in a bun out of the way as i hear a shout from the other side of the door.

    "Man and i thought Darious takes along time to get ready, hurry up girls!" blurts out Warren.

    "Alright, alright, we're done gosh,'' i say.

The bright light from the sun stings my eyes as the door swings open out into the woods and i finally feel the warmth wrap around my body. The shack was cold and stuffy i felt so suffocated just being out. It takes the boys only five minutes to change and we're all walking back to Leon.

    Hes sitting on a rock, newspaper in hand, looks like my grandfather, or atleast to me, I only saw my grandfather once when i was 7 and he died when i was about to be 8 and we went to his funeral but other than that i havent seen him.

   We reach Leon and he starts to examine us one by one so, i let my imagination go to work and doze off until i hear a loud shout that peirces my ears and makes me almost jump out of my clothes............
