20 years ago. The queen of this small kingdom went crazy. She went mad with power and she would kill who ever got in her way. My parents started the Resistance when they were 16 a few years later they got married and had me. I never had a lot of time to be with them. The queen killed them when I was a year old. I had to live with my grandma but the queen wanted me dead. She killed the only family I had left. From that point on I was forced to live on the run.

"Ring" the school bell rang. "Ok class we'll finish the rest tomorrow and don't forget to do your homework." Said Mrs.Newson. A boy about 14 years old walked out of school and ran into the woods. He put his book bag on the floor by the river. He put his hand in a hollow tree and grabs a wooden spear he made himself. He finds a rock and throws it at a tree. About 12 birds flew out. He tried to get one but he missed. I saw that he was a good kid so I grabbed my bow and got one for him. He sees the arrow come out of a tree and he yelled.
"Who's there. Come out."
I moved fast. Climbed from tree to tree, he tried to get me down by throwing rocks at me. I fell but I kept running hoping he won't catch me. I tripped. He held me down.
"Who are you?" He said
"Wouldn't you want to know." I said and kneed him in his gut. He rolls over. I ran away. I look back, I see him getting up. He looks at me with a mad face.

He get home and start to cook dinner for six people with one bird. He calls his family to the table. His three brothers run to the table fighting. His grandma walk to the table slow and weak. She 94 and can bearly walk, she also need lung surgery.
"Thank you boy." She grandma, She forgets me name all the time and I don't mined.
"Hey I'm going to go out for a little ok grandma." I said hoping that my brothers don't ask me were I was going. Neil look up and watches me go out the door.

He goes back to the spot he found the girl and waits for her came back. Then all of a sudden an arrow flies past him.
"Why are you here?" I said to him.
"Don't shout." He said in fear.
"I'm not going to hurt you."I said and then put down the bow.
"Can we talk?" He said.
"K" I said
They started walking. The girl had the bow ready to shoot. We walk to the river and sat down. There was a moment of silence. He didn't know what to say. His mind went blank. Then he said.
"Why didn't you kill me when you had the chance?" He asked. I didn't know what to say. I was in shock no one has tried to ask me anything that scary in my life.
"Because I knew that you weren't a threat." I said looking in to his eyes. "I saw a boy trying to feed his family. I've seen it all before." She looked in to the river seeing the fish pass by her feet.
"I saw good in you." I said.
"You saw the good in me. What are you some kind a psychic?" He asked.
"No but I need to know if people are a threat to me or I die."
"So it instinct?" He asked her
"Yeah. I guess. I had to live on the run. So I need to know the people that wanted me dead."
"Why do they want you dead." He asked.
"They think I'm a threat." I answered
"What about your family?" He asked
"The queen killed them when I was just a year old." I said.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know."
"It ok. No one knows."
They hear a tree branch break in back of them. They look back.
"Get your stuff and hide. GO!" He gets his stuff and runs through the river.
"Show your self." I yelled in to the dark woods. Gum shoot fire. She look up and see a man trying to kill her. She amamse at the guy and shouts him in the eye. He falls ten feet and hits the grand hard, hard enough to break your back. She run through the river.
"Hey guy. Where are you?" I yelled. "Kid where are you?"
"I'm in here." A voice came from a tree.
"What are you doing in there are you stupid." I said. "Come on we got to go. If one of the queen's men were here more are not far." I said
"What? I can't I have my grandma and brothers." He said.
"Oh well let me take you home." I said.
"Ok." He said
We be gain to walk. And something happen that night something I'll never forget. A warm feeling filled my heart. Something that changed me.
