This is my first story, so I hope it's not terrible and please don't be a jerk if you hate it. I challenged myself to write a time travel story about

The Outsiders Which I don't own. And I'll try to make it a little different then the others, can't promise anything.

I only own my character Ember Madison.

To the story we go...

Chapter 1: Please tell me I'm not going crazy.

Embers pov:

"Alright Ember! I can tell you've definately been practicing with your aim, you almost hit that bullseye fifteen times in the last twenty minutes." Coach congragulated me, glancing back to my arrow right next to the bullseye mark.

"One day that bullseye will have a bright orange arrow on it." I muttered while picking up my compound bow and dragging my arrow out of the flabby target. I look around for a clock in this small building 3:27 p.m, finished earlier then expected. I passed a mirror on my way out of the archery club, and see a girl that's 5'9 with shorts and a tank top on, (which is me) my long dark brown (might as well be black instead of brown) in a giant mess, my face is a light shade of pink, my shorts showing my long legs. But hey what do you expect from a hot room without a/c and running outside to look for some arrows that missed the target a little while ago?

I started my somewhat long journey home, which I didn't mind considering I live close to the crazier side of town, anyone who messed with me would end up with an arrow through their hand. I don't think I would be able to kill anyone with an arrow even if they did deserve it. It wasn't that bad out, a little warm with few clouds mixed with some gold from the sun in the endless blue sky I thin while passing the old park. No one really played there anymore since it looks like it should collapse any minute. The only safe thing there is a Jungle gym, swings, and a few slides. Its more of a teen camping place in the summer. The best memories I made were there about eight years ago.

"Get them" a voice yelled, which was odd since this place is abandoned until 9:30ish p.m. I looked over about 7 guys, that had very stupid hair and bad clothing ganging up on two younger kids barely half their size. They didn't see me yet, I take my bow out of its case and take a few arrows from the quiver, and load one on my bow and place it behind the tree behind me.

" Two against seven doesn't seem fair, especially if those two are barely half your size." The seven of them just stare at me as if I was purple skinned with bright orange hair.

"Hey grease why don't you mind your own business" The smallest yelled. What the heck was a grease where have I heard that before?

" I would if your face was suppose to look like a person and not a science experiment gone wrong." The two boys tried to hold in their laughter, but couldn't help it. Then they punched one of the younger boys in the face. And kicked the other in the gut pretty hard and slapped him in the face. Then three of the bigger guys came sprinting towards me.

" punch them again or else you're going to regret being born." They stared at me like they were idiots (which they were). They did one of the two things that people do when they think they're better then me.

1. No one taking me seriously when they think I'm lying or bluffing

2. Underestimating my abilities.

"whats a girl gonna do when there's seven of us and one of you?" The ugly one rose his hands in "a what did I do wrong" motion, perfect. I pulled my bow and arrow out, again they laughed and punched them again. That's it I went behind the tree and of course I heard snickers from them, but when I came out with my bow ready they went pale and took out their switch blades which didn't even look threatening since they weren't even holding them the right way. The 2 boys looked terrified since they're being used as shields and they knew if I missed they could be good as dead. I aimed carefully, the 4 guys holding the 2 boys high five since I pointed my bow down, then when they didn't see it my arrow went flying, and making their hands shish co-bobbed together. They let go of the two boys and they ran behind me, thinking they were safe. Of course we still had to get rid of five of the others. They were catching up to us, but we still had a great distance between us and them. I knew if I ran home right away the 7 guys would trap us inside. Where was that tall grass field that was not only confusing for someone who didn't leave little marks in the grass showing them the way out but also for hiding and trickery?

It comes up on my left the 2 boys still behind me, we duck down in the grass moving slowly along "Pony?" the tan kid whispers, no reply. Of course.

"JOHNNY" the kid I guess named pony shouts. I stand up, and the 5 of the 7 guys are water boarding him. (a/n water boarding is when you dunk someone in water bring them up for a millisecond then dunking them back in the water.) I hear a couple unfamiliar voices of a few more people

"PONY? LEAVE HIM ALONE" More shouts Johnny's (which is his name I guess) face lights up, my guess he knows some people that came in perfect timing. I run and tackle one of the people trying to drown his friend. Throw a few punches in the guys face and bite his arms until I see blood coming from them. I turn around, its like something from an apocalyptic movie where everyone turns on each other and its survival of the fittest. They guys throws pony in the lake that has seaweed and junk in the bottom floor OH NO, I throw my shoes and socks off run into the water, someone with a black shirt on that came to the rescue i guess tries to grab me, but was to slow. I dive into the water and see Pony trying to stay awake, his foot is caught in wooden box that's connected to something heavy with seaweed getting in my way and is making it worse. My lungs are begging for oxygen but I stay down in the water. I finally get his foot loose, he's passed out. I pull him to the top of the water, someone grabs him. I reach my hand out, a few people help me out of the water, I can't stop coughing and everything goes black, letting me hear a few voices fading out into nothing.

Thanks for reading, sorry its a little bad, but not terrible right? If you have any ideas of what can happen next please share
