The Walls That Inhibit Us

Chapter 2

I hid in a tree, it wasn't very tall but the green leaves hid my body, I'm not small but i'm not big.I had a little weight hanging off of me, my body though was well curved. Footsteps, heavy but light, every good soldier knows to go heel to toe, Marx was breathing heavy, the hill must have gotten her out of breath. I waited until she got beneath me and jumped, she jumped slightly before pushing me against the tree, my back stinging from the thorns that had wrapped around the tree from the years of not being taken care of. She flung me over her shoulder, I landed hard with a 'thud', her foot came down to smash my face, I felt my blood trickling down to my lips. I stood with my body curved to her, she couldn't hit me and she knew it, she swung her foot up and over my head. I moved and kicked her in the ribs, stunned she dropped her hands, one hit, two, three, four. She was bleeding, I felt bad but she's the one who recommended it.

"Stop, stop! Alright you win!" she shouts, I think she couldn't take anymore. Light weight. " I haven't fought anyone in years, you're good" she looks up at me while she's wiping her nose.

"Sorry about that...your face anyway"

"No it's okay, you did what I told you, c'mon we gotta get back to camp" I smiled, camp, my new home.

It was a little trip back, not much, I knew my brother had to be near the area of Gemini, after all the only sign city left by itself was my original city; Sagittarius county.

"So, what made you come here?" Smith asked slightly

"Well ...I normally don't say but, my brother, I'm headed to Capricorn county."

"Capricorn county?" Marx questioned "Isn't that near Aries?" I nodded

"Yes, but we all know that it's far away from where I came from. I just want to prove to our government that separate counties is only causing more damage." they were both silent. Marx spoke up "We'll help you." Smith had opened his mouth to protest but she continued speaking "I-I had fallen in love with this girl, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. When we got the new Government they separated us.She's a Leo, that's near your city." she nodded towards me. She had a concentrated look on her face "she had the most soul-trapping emerald green eyes, and the most beautiful royal blue hair that faded into a cyan color. Yes it may have been dyed blue but it suit her. Velvet was originally a brunette, but of course she would always make a fit when her roots showed." she paused smiling at the memory. "I miss her. A lot actually. For years I thought I was straight. She made me feel something, something so passionate that I knew I wanted her." this time when I looked over at her, she was silently crying. I stopped and wrapped my arms around her. Smith look awkward and stood there. "You remind me a lot of her, facial features anyway." I smiled "Eat your heart out then"
