Don't hate me, I have no excuses... I just have school and stuff blah. Love you guys. xx

        Lots of footsteps can be heard coming towards me as I make my way down the dreary tunnel. My anticipation and fear seems to radiate off me and upon my best friend, Aspen. Trying to stay calm, I pick up the pace and drag her along with me.

        My futile attempts to remain quiet are cut short when she lets out an ear piercing scream. I quickly rush to see what's caused her outburst when I see the rat scampering away from us. Letting out a sigh, I grab her hand and continue out of the tunnel until we reach the surface.

        "Aspen, what the hell! We could have been in serious danger back there!" I shout.

        "Lissa, please calm down. It was stupid I know, I've just been on edge since last week." She says.

        Sighing, I walk to a nearby bench and sit down. "I'm sorry; it's hard on all of us. I just don't want anything to happen to another one of my friends."

        I can see her visibly flinch at my words but I know I've made my point. If anything did happen to Aspen I'd have no clue what to do. I can't help but pity her for her sensitivity, however the last week was a bit of a stress on all of us. One of our neighboring cities were attacked by a group of them.

        The thought alone of our's being attacked gives me chills, but I would never tell her that. I'm the rock, she's the tide. If I get weak, we both wash away. My thoughts are cut short, however when my phone goes off.

        Report to gathering immediately.

        I let out a dramatic sigh at the text. The Society has gatherings every once and a while to announce progress and developments. Recently we haven't had as many due to our lack of hard workers. Or, at least workers who have a vague idea what the hell they're doing.

        We when arrive I sit at our usual table and wait for the gathering to begin. While waiting I suddenly feel eyes on me. I glance over at Aspen only to see that she's absorbed in her phone. Confused, I take a look around only to see a beautiful boy with piercing green eyes staring at me.

Whoop there it is... Sorry it's short but the chapters will get longer as the plot develops. What are your thoughts so far? Let me know what you think in the comments. xx
