The runners

These are Jaces entries

I'm running into a forest, to my left is Blake, my closest friend. This whole thing is actually his plan. He's somewhat of a control freak but won't argue with me if I want to do something, well, unorthodox. My name is Jace, and this is how we got away.To my right is my long lost "friend" scarlet. We were rivals when we first met in our military training facility. (By the way, if your wondering, all children after a certain age are put into some sort of military school. In middle school, based on your physical or mental attributes, you are inserted into certain classes. I was a much more physically adept kid so I was put into the "squad leader" role, where Blake is one of the best hackers I know)
We would train together, trying to hone our skills, for every match I won, she would win the next (she likes to say otherwise but don't listen to her) but after 8th grade she kind of just disappeared. I never thought die see her again, but here she is again.
