"Chunji, they're not coming" I said as I leaned against the tree, my face partly covered in paint, examining my dagger.
"no, they promised they'd be here" he insisted as he looked up at the trees, examining them closely and raising his fingers to his lips, whistling a long, sharp note.
"why are you looking at the trees, are you looking for pigeons or something?" I said and slid the glimmering dagger into my belt.
"shut up, Micah" he muttered.
This is what we had been doing since I agreed to come with him, standing in the middle of a forest, him whistling and me just.... standing here, bored as hell.
I sighed and pushed off the tree, "we've been here for about 3 hours, look even the suns setting," I sighed and raised my arms in annoyance. "I'm gonna look for an apple tree or something" I dropped my arms to my sides and spun on the heel of my hunting boots.
Just as I was maybe ten metres away Chunji called for me to stop, I spun around
"what?" I groaned
"they're here" he said with a calm smile and raised his eyes back to the trees.
"oh?" I slowly began raising my eyes to the trees "so your pigeons are finally h-" I broke off when my eyes focused on a shape crouching on a tree branch.
That wasn't a pigeon.
"no way" I mumbled
Couched all along the high rising tree branches were people, Hunters to be exact, that had all kinds of deadly weapons strapped on their backs and long razor edged swords at their hips. I watched in silent awe as they leaped gracefully from branch to branch, not afraid as their booted feet landed square on the thin wood, silently making their way down the tree trunks to the ground.
Chunji leaned towards me "meet my friends " he whispered in my ear before walking towards the crouched blonde figure that had dropped to the ground first. The blonde haired guy slowly rose from his landing crouch as Chunji approached, they nodded at each other and exchanged few words before Chunji walked back to me with the guy beside him. My eyes met with Blondie's and his widened in shock,
"Micah?" He called and moved towards me. I watched in silence with a 'what the actual hell?' look on my face as he rushed towards me, in one final stride of his long legs he caught my face in his hands and planted a kiss on my lips.
My eyes widened and I raised my arms and shoved him away, he staggered backwards and I wiped my lips with the back of my hand.
"what the hell!" I hissed and glared up at him.
The boy chuckled and his dark, some what familiar, brown eyes met with mine. He straightened up and flicked the hair out of his right eye, before his lips tilted up in a small smile. Wait a second..
"Darren?" I said, shocked.
"nice of you to finally recognise me" Darren muttered with an easy smile.
When I was first taken in my the Hunter Corporation, Darren and Sam were my best and only friends. After Jasper's death they were the only ones who actually understood what I was going through, they were the first ones I told. You know, about the experiments. Darren's parents moved away after they found out who and what I really was, taking Darren away with them, six years ago.
"oh my god" I whispered and wrapped my right arm around Darren's neck and pulled him down into a bone crushing hug. I hooked my chin over his shoulder and closed my eyes as I basked in the long lost feeling of having family.
A loud explosion made me jump away from Darren, I looked around and my eyes caught on the grey smoke rising above the green tree tops. I instantly reached up to pull my bow from by back but a hand was lain above mine, stopping me instantly, I looked up at Darren.
"you won't be needing that" he said gesturing at my bow with his eyes.
