I leaned forward, warming my hands by with the heat of the bonfire. Flames danced across the faces of those sitting on logs around me. I couldn't help but smile at the simplicity of it all and how I almost didn't even come tonight. Good thing Sam is as good of a persuader as she is. A yawn escaped my mouth and I did my best to cover it with my one hand while the other checked the time on my phone. At the same moment, a feather light tough grazed my bare shoulder, so softly, yet firm enough to make my head spin to the side. I saw nothing. I turned back to the fire with a scowl on my face. Just then I heard someone shout as a fight broke out between two seniors on the sandy beach not ten feet from where I sat. But as I looked up, it wasn't the fight that had stolen my attention. Two piercing blue eyes locked with mine from across the fire. A sly smirk lay plastered on his face as he raised an eyebrow in mock innocence. I looked down, feeling the heat in my cheeks escalating. But my eyes were drawn back up to see that my mysterious admirer was no where in sight. "Looking for someone?" asked a deep, husky voice from over my shoulder.

"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?
