Just For One Second

Terra, Afternoon

Haelth keeps on glaring at the clock when the teacher wasn't looking. It was 1:55 almost time for school to end, and when Haelth is supposed to meet up with her friends, Oliver and Scoot, at the abandoned factory in the outskirts of town. Haelth wanted to see what was inside the factory, but it was too dangerous to go alone. Monsters creep along outside of the town. Or at least that's what the old folks keep on saying. That's why Haelth brought Scoot and Oliver along, so she won't be alone in the factory and she brought weapons just in case.

Finally, the bell rang, and Haelth quickly grabs her stuff and ran out of the classroom. She ran out of the school, into the street, stopped by a fence that was around the town, and waited there for her friends. The spring's breeze blew through her short red hair and Haelth adjusts her hat.

After a couple of minutes, Oliver appears with his spring styled clothes. Oliver is tall but not very built, has very pale skin. (2). He wore a stylish blue jacket, black shirt, blue pants, and a pink scarf as well.

"Wow Oliver, I thought you would be late." Haelth teased him. Many times, Oliver arrives late for their meetings because he always wants to look his best when he goes out. Haelth finds it rather silly sometimes, even when they just want to hang out he still wants to look his best. If Haelth had to guess, it was because the sisters and brothers of the All-Mother have spoiled him, and even when he joins the army and goes to combat school he still can get away with that.

"Wow Haelth, have a little faith in me will ya?" Oliver replied his eyes sparking in playfully at her. Haelth playfully sticks her tongue out at him. The two (along with Scott) have been friends since kindergarten and always stick by each other side.

Soon Scott came running toward them. Scott was only a few inches shorter than Oliver but more built than him, his hair brown and spiky, eyes a hard green, and a grumpy look on his face. He is wearing a green shirt that some soda logo on it, jeans, and a brown jacket.

"You're late Scott!' Haelth teased him.

Scott's face turned into a scowl as he explained, "I would have been here sooner, but Mr. Apple wanted me to talk to him after class."

"You're not in trouble are you?" Haelth asked worried about him. Scott was one of the top students in combat and therefore was bullied a lot because of it.

Oliver's eyes narrow, "It's not those Turner twins again are is it?" The Turner twins are two sibling bullies that happen to come from a very rich family and think they can do whatever they want. Haelth, Oliver, and Scott have been subject to their bullying before.

"No, it's about my grades," Scott answered. "He said I'm passing his class and is thinking I should lead a squad soon for a mission."

Haelth let out a sigh of relief, "Good, I don't want to deal with those two again."

"Same here," Scott replied grumpy, "Those two bring nothing but trouble."

"So, are we going in?" Oliver questioned as he looks at the old factory. Haelth jumps up from her spot and runs to the factory.

"Come on, slowpokes! I'll race you!" She called out to them as she climbs the fence.

"Hey!" Both Oliver and Scott shouted, and chased after her. She laughs at them; life is as good when you have friends to hang out with.

Terra, Factory, Afternoon

Dust, decaying metal, and broken glass are scattered across the floor of the old factory. Haelth's nose wrinkled at the smell, but she couldn't help but be excited! She always wanted to see the inside of the old factory, because it makes her like have a sense of adventure. Since she wasn't a hunter yet, she and her friends can't explore outside of the kingdom borders. And even then, there are still monsters that creep around the kingdom, so many older folks don't want kids like her and the others to go exploring. This was the closest that she was going to get.
