I think it has been four days, I've tried to keep track by making notches on a stick but I might be counting wrong.My curiosity had started to get the best of me and every say I had started to venture closer and closer to the battle ground, but everyday I turned back, to afraid to learn if the war noises had been real. My fear was taken from me one day when I was sitting out by the stream, I heard a loud call from my bird friend and then watched it hide, it had done the same thing when the wolves had come, I hope it wasn't them again.
I turn quickly as i hear the crunch of dry leaves, but this wasn't the noise of a paw, it was the noise of a boot. I grab my crossbow and aim it at the brush.
"Don't fire" a boy, that looked about fifteen, with blonde hair and electric blue eyes says, pushing through the brush to stand in the open.
"Who are you?" I growl, I felt like I recognized this boy but I couldn't remeber.
"My name is Shockfire" the boy says "please lower the crossbow" he asks.
I lover my crossbow slowly "I recognize you Shockfire" I say.
"I recognize you as well Crossfire" Shockfire says.
"Mr.Barren, he sent you didn't he?" I growl lowly.
"Of course he sent me" Shockfire laugh.
"Why?" I question?
"To retrieve you" Shockfire says, not saying any more as he shoots me with a dart and I collapse.
When I wake up I cant tell where I am, I'm still clutching my crossbow tightly in my hand. I try to move but my arms and legs refuse to cooperate for a while. They finally move after a long time and I sit up, I groan from a headache and look around, I recognized the place a little bit. I guess I should sense I spent so long in there before, it was the infirmary. I looked to the side of my bed expecting grenade to be sitting there, until I remembered that she had been killed.
I look down and then quickly look up as I hear the door open "finally awake I see" Terror laughs as he walks in.
I gulp and sit up "hello Terror" I say, trying to hide my fear.
"Im surprised you lived runt" terror sneers.
"Why woulden't I! Im better at surviving then you would be" I snap, i immediately regret yelling at him because he punches me in the face, knocking me off the bed landing on the ground with a 'thump' noise. Terror glares at me before walking out, I don't move until I know he's gone and then I crawl onto the infirmary bed hugging my crossbow tightly like I was a child with a teddy bear I thought someone would steal.
