I had been there for awhile now half a year. I had met a lot of people in that time. The little kid who had found me when I first got here, the same one who told the story about the sun and the moon his name was Lupin. Little six year old he is. He helped me out every once in awhile and would always try and stand up for me even though he was younger than most. Lupin had lost his parents in a raid that had occurred in his town, queens orders. He was able to save his baby sister but everything and everyone else was lost forever. He would train with me from time to time and teach me some tricks when he was in the mood.
"If you want to distract your opponent and strike them you get a big weapon anything noticeable and kinda wave it in their face fight with it if you have to or whatever just make sure they are concentrating on the big one, then you use a small knife and stab them in the most damaging place you have access to. Let's try it but don't actually stab me please"
"I'll try my best loopy"" You see not like that because I can see you pulling out the knife and don't call me loopy I might be small but I can still stab you"
"You wouldn't kill such an innocent little thing like me would you"
"Kill, I couldn't even if I wanted to, remember that little healing trick you have and innocent my ass, I see the way you and Angel look at each other"
" Well for one thing I haven't slept with Angel in that way and two your too young to use that language"
"I'm too young for a lot of things but here I am"He was right, he's to young to know how to fight like this he's too young to be an orphan he's too young to be carrying all the responsibility he had but I never saw it like that back then. He's a little ball of anger and super seriousness as I tell him but he's been through a lot and I wanna protect him as much as I can, even though he might be able to protect me better than I could protect him, but I wanted to at least try.
"Come on at least smile a bit your too cute to be looking all miserable all the time"
"And your too old to be this helpless you need to practice your fighting"
"Where I come from we didn't need to know combat or any of this"
"Doesn't mean you shouldn't know"
"Whatever you say ball anger"
"I told you to stop calling me that"
"Fine I'll stop calling you that loopy"
"That's worst just call me by my name like everyone else does"
"I'm not everyone else you know I love you like the brother I never had and I just wanna protect you"
"I know you do and I love you for it but you need to know how to protect yourself before you can protect anyone else"He might be six but sometimes he sounded wiser than any old person could hope to be. While I was there for those six months I was really glad I had found the place. I was happier there than I ever was back home for those miserable 15 years I spent there. This world is a world of dictatorship and war but so is the other world but worst. I trained with as many people as possible (of course they went easy on me knowing I didn't know anything about fighting) to try and learn as much as I could. Lupin was my favorite to train with. Angel was too mean or too soft never really patient but he did make up for it in other ways. Lupin was tough be he knew where I crossed the line in the lectures. I was sick of my parents screaming at me and lashing out at me at home I didn't need it here. I made sure to never treat him like a baby or as if he couldn't understand something because of his age.
He had a little sister called Amber. Three years old she was already the feistiest person in the camp. She was one of the people at camp with powers. She was able to take pictures of her thoughts or dreams, they would come out as a photograph through her mouth (it may sound gross but it was useful and cool). Since she was really young people were assigned to look after her and take care of her but she never let anyone get near her except her brother and when she was in a good mood me. He took as much care of her as he could, she was the only thing he had left. Not long after meeting him I knew he was really good at math though here they call it forke here, (pronounced four-ke) he would help with the construction and calculations whenever he could. I didn't know what would happen to him at the time and I definitely didn't know his thoughts or feelings but I knew something for sure, I would protect him with all my life and I would never let anything happen to him or so I thought.

I'm sorry I took so long to update and I'm also sorry this chapter is so short I had a draft but it didn't save properly and I couldn't remember what I'd had written. I'm swamped with school work so it's gonna take some time for the next chapter to update.
