There was a chuckle from besides me as an arrow implanted a mere inch or two away from my head.

"So funny Artie," I told him.

He had pierced the tree besides my head splintering a bit from the sheer force.

"Well I'm training for the trials Today Jamie!" he said. The arrow was plucked from the tree and he was running his fingers along the tip.

"Don't remind me about it," I said.

I was dreading them and by Arthur firing a warning shot that meant he was probably nervous.

"Well it's in a hour and we have to brush up on our skills a bit to be prepared." As if I could be prepared at all at this point.

"Well I don't think you can learn anything in an hour."

He glared at me before running a hand through his reddish brown hair sitting on a nearby log. "I can still shoot you," he warned me.

"I am so scared," I said. I squint my eyes scanning over the trees to get out of here so we wouldn't be late.

One of the trainers had warned Arthur and I that lateness would not be tolerated and if we were late that meant we would be disqualified from the trials.

I started heading towards the exit of the wood and there was someone staring at me.

"Why are we heading there so early?"

"You cause me to be late Arthur."I told him.

"It's a team effort." He said. But his shoulder was bumping against mine as we were making our way out of here. "What do you think the trails are on?" He asked.

"No clue." They never told us anything about what was going to happen during them to make it fair. The watch on Arthur's wrist told us that we only had thirty minutes left to go.

We had arrived at the main grounds where other people in our level were at.

Some people were practicing but many of them were scolded and told to take it to the training ground if they wanted to train.

"Izzy." I greeted her.

The girl looked up from her book and glanced between us with an annoyed look.

"I was wondering if you two would actually show up." She said.

Arthur rolled his eyes at her as he sat down pulling me to the bench with him.

"We were always going to show up Izzy." I told her.

"I meant on time. It's shocking that you even showed up early for once."

Arthur hand left mine as he shrugged off his arrows.

"Well this is an important day." I said.

Arthur had notched an arrow.

"You are not." Izzy said in her motherly tone.

"Oh come on they won't even care."

"You can say that when you get kicked out Arthur." She said with an even sterner tone.

"Artie just don't test it." I warned.

Before he could argue or answer a horn was playing throughout the area. "Everyone like up! The trails will be commencing in five minutes." The voice proclaimed.
