Amber's POV
I was running. I wasn't in control. And it was too late, it was done, and there was no going back...I had lost the last of my family. I was kicked out of the Hunters. We were supposed to keep the merchent safe. But I failed...I killed him.
3rd POV
Amber continued running, she wasn't aware when she started crying but she couldn't stop.
"The others will never forgive me," she screamed out to the storming sky. Her voice echoing out through the trees of the forest. Looking at the sky she cries out in anguish. As she grabs a tree for support she speaks.
"Please find it in your hearts to forgive me," she cries to no one. As far as she can tell nobody had followed her this far into the woods.
A figure steps out from the shadows quietly as not to frighten the sobbing girl. Making her way over to the tree, to Amber, Crazy speaks.
"I'm sorry Amber but you killed him." Crazy's voice rang out in the groove of trees they were standing in.
Amber turned quickly, almost giving herself whiplash, wanting to make sure that it was actually Crazy standing near her and not a trick of her brain. She couldn't breathe, her family was there, and all she wanted to do was go and hug Crazy.
"I'm sorry. Crazy I'm so sorry. Please know that I didn't mean for this to happen."
Amber carefully walks over to Crazy, drops her sword, and runs.
~~~~~~~~~time skip~~~~~~~~~ Crazy goes back to camp, with Amber's sword in her hands, she stops just outside of the tree line.
"Raven! Look!"
"Crazy!" "Are you okay?!" "Did she hurt you?""Guys," she said, "Amber wouldn't hurt me." Crazy looks down at the ground.
"She said she's sorry. Raven is this our fault?"
Raven looks at the still crying sky.
"It's no one's fault Crazy. Should we have done something after Max's death? Yes we should have, but no one is at fault."
Crazy looks at Compass.
"We could have done more, anything, to have helped her. But we didn't, we believed her when she said she was okay, and we all knew she wasn't."
Compass nods and looks over at Raven. She looks at the ground a contemplative look on her face.
"We shouldn't have believed her, but we trusted that she was okay. But we'll find her and hopefully she'll understand. We can't give up on her, not this time!" Raven said it with such confidence and strength that Crazy and Compass believed her. As they were hugging, no one sees the girl in the trees watching, crying and smiling.
