In the World of Black and White

Nineteen-Letter From Home

"Bye guys." Aura said getting up from the cafeteria table and leaving. "So what are we gonna do for her birthday?" Iris said closing her book. "Battle Royal." Shrapnel grinned. "No. The last time we did that you went on a rampage and killed four bears." Castus replied. "You say it like its a bad thing." "They were our war bears." "Oh come on, I BEARLY touched them." We all sighed in disappointment. Shrapnel crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. "You guys are no fun." After we all laughed at Shrapnel, a man approached and stuck his hand out to me. "What's this?" I asked him. "A letter from home." I took the paper and opened it to see Absil's hand writing. "Shadow, You have a bit of a problem heading your way. Clover escaped her parents and no one has seen her in about a week. Crimson and I have been looking through the forest for days but we haven't found a trace. I'm positive that she will reach you in a couple of days. I hope everything is going well cause when she gets there, you're in a world of hurt. Absil." I looked up from the piece of parchment to see everyone staring at me. "How's is everything at home?" Iris asked. I couldn't let them know something was wrong. Clover can't find her way here no matter what. "Yea. I just gotta go do something real quick." I got up from the table and hurried to my room. I grabbed my new swords and headed to the stables. After rushing across the courtyard to get there I ran into Lilith. "Hey, you most our skirmish!" I could tell she wasn't to happy with me. "Sorry but something came up and I gotta go but some other time." she started following me. "Ooh can I come?" "Now's not a good time." "Well I'm not taking no for an answer!" I let out a huge sigh. "Fine." we hurried to the stable and quickly found the head beastmaster. After about ten minutes of pleading we finally got two horses and headed towards the barrier. Once we got through we kept going. I knew exactly where Clover was.
