Chapter 2: Of Hate and Love


After six weeks, she became used to life around the Runaway Clan it was very simple you wake up and then get ready for the day. They hunted, practiced their weapons, ate and had fun they swam often and had running races.

In a short while she found each member attitudes. Lance was a fun loving guy but won’t tolerate time wasters. Rose loved to flirt though she never meant it; her temper however was like a volcano always ready to erupt. Arrow was a little pushy but seemed nice enough; Midnight was a solitary figure a little shadowy. Wolfsbane kept to himself mostly and was helpful. Silver was a mischievous person a little trouble maker and was good-natured. Cerulean was well… odd, she knew how to sew so she made nets and helped keep the tribes animals keep healthy, but like Wolfsbane kept to herself. Cerulean also had a surprisingly wicked sense of humor when you got to get to know her.

But there was always the threat of being discovered. So they often kept to the forest. But even though Midnight told them not to, they spied on the hunters that came to the forest. Sometimes they would steal from the camp and make noises to keep them up all night. They regarded it as a hilarious game.

So life went on nothing particularly exciting happen during the first three weeks of living with them. Until one day Dusk, Arrow and Silver went out hunting. They were stalking a deer.

So Arrow, being the gambler he is, decided that the first to take down the deer would get anything from the other two, they agreed not being able to resist a challenge. Dusk pulled out a small hand-axe judging her aim carefully she hurled it she missed the deer; gently the axe thudded onto the tree beside it. The deer tired to flee so Silver jumped up and tried to shoot it with her arrows, she missed, badly. Arrow coolly shot the deer in the throat it died almost instantly.

Arrow let out a triumphant whoop.

“I win, yes, pay up kiddies.” He shouted arrogantly.

Sighing they pulled out their belongings. Arrow from Dusk chose the necklace of beads she had made. Looking at Silver he smiled coyly and carefully leaned in and pressed his mouth to hers. Dusk gasped in surprise. Pulling back Arrow turned and grabbed the deer and put it over his shoulder easily.

“See you two at camp.” With that he retreated back home.

Dumbly Silver stared after him her mouth hanging open in full surprise. She turned to gape at Dusk who was just as shocked.

“Umm…”gasped Silver after a few moments. “Dusk what was…that.”

“It is called a kiss boys do it when,” she paused “When they like-like a girl.”

“Oh.” She looked very taken aback. What he had done had taken them by surprise and shocked the two adolescents.

“Should we go back to camp?” inquired Dusk cautiously.

“I-” before she could finish a horn sounded. They looked at each other, and then sped off into the forest.
It was a battle summons.
