Chapter 1: The Meeting
The sun was setting. It was a spring afternoon and night was creeping in. Sitting by the fire, I thought about how beautiful the sunset was and smiled to myself. Then I remembered that I was alone, with no one to go to and nothing to hide behind. I was truly alone in the world.
My stomach growled at me. I sighed and looked up, trying to ignore my hunger. The last time I had eaten I was camped by a lake full of fish. I ate so many of the little buggers I thought I'd turn into one. I smiled at that thought, then remembered the taste of the fish I grilled and ate that night. My stomach growled again, snapping at me for thinking such a torturous thought. I sulked by the fire, bored and hungry. I stood up and turned around, getting ready to crawl into the tent I had made when I heard something in the woods. I looked around but saw nothing except trees, brush and the steep hill I pitched my tent under.
I shruged it off and climbed in, thinking nothing of it. Then suddenly something crashed down on me, destroying my tent. Whatever it was, it was alive. I finally pushed it off and found my way out. A little girl was lying on the ground, her eyes closed tightly.
"Are you ok?" I asked. But before I could get an answer something landed ontop of me and I hit the ground. I heard a little talking while I was dazed, but I looked up to see that it was a little boy, maybe a year or two older than the girl.
"Alright, who are you two and why did you crash down on me?!" They looked scared, like they were afraid of me. That's when I heard a loud growling, and it wasn't my stomach. I turned around to find three wolves, teeth bared. They seemed hungry, but I wasn't about to be eaten. I drew the old sword from my waist and held it infront of me, laughing a little.
"You picked the wrong people to eat tonight. It's a shame you gotta die on an evening like this!" With that I rushed at the closest beast, slicing hard. It yelped and jumped back, it's nose cut deeply. It ran away as the other two jumped at me. I stepped to the left and swung, slicing one of them clean in half. I snickered and turned casually to face the other just in time to see it pounce on me.
I landed on my back, trying to push the creature off me. It bit my arm hard, ripping at the flesh. I grabbed a rock and bashed it in the head. It yelped and weakened it's hold on me long enough for me to stab it in the side.
I stood, holding my arm. It was bleeding badly and, if left untreated, might prove serious. I sheathed my sword and walked to my battered tent, pulling out a box from inside. I opened it and got some bandage, clean water, and herbs. As I was cleaning the wound I looked over at the children. They were quiet and just stared at me.
"So... you plan to tell me who you are anytime soon?" The boy stood up and gulped.
"My name is Kyle, and this is my sister Sue." I smiled and waved at her with my good hand and she waved back timidly.
''And you would be out here for what reason?"
"We... were running..."
