Chapter 1

"I hate jungles!" I moan pushing past the tall grass that keeps making me scratch my legs and arms. My friends laugh at me, and I glare at them.

"Oh, would you calm down Lindelihle. Well be at the village soon, then you can rub ointment on your legs." My best friend Imose said while tying her curly dark hair into a pony tail.

"Why are we even getting so many supplies? Are we running low or something?" I ask. You wouldn't really call Amanaki village rich or a place with a lot of supplies to spare. The only thing we really have are weapons for the soldiers, and all they do is shoot at the Rakyat which either gets them killed or injured and neither are good.

"Lindelihle, did you even listen to Dennis when he told us about the man who escaped Vaas?" Fabu are other companion said in a exasperated tone. I gasped at that. No one escapes the Vaas alive, was this man some sort of superhero? Imose laughed at my expression then she cut off a green leaf from one of the plants and put it in her bag.

"Lindelihle, Dennis gave the whole village a speech about how a warrior from the gods have given us someone to fight. " Imose said while doing a impersonation of Dennis. "I'm at least happy that we now a chance against Vaas."

"But who gets away from Vass Imose? No one. Doesn't that seem a little fishy to you?" I question her thinking about the whole situation to myself. No one gets away from Vaas unless he lets you, which he never does so how does this man out of all people get away? I i'll find out soon enough.

When we made it back to the village there were red lantern lights set up hanging on the houses, and food was covering the tables while people were putting up more things that even I couldn't recognize. Then I saw my mother coming up to me with a worried look on her face. When she reached me I finally spoke up.

"What's wrong mama? Has something happened?"

"No, nothing has happened daughter, can't I be worried about my own child?" She says relief on her face. " You need to get your supplies to Jamar, it seems like your friends already have." I look around and Imose and Fabu have left me. I hurry running to find Jamar before the party starts, after about 30 minutes of looking for him I see him standing behind a house mixing leaves together.

"Jamar! I've finally found you, have you been hiding?" I said handing him my bag. He took out the contents and begin sorting through them while he spoke.

"Lindelihle, I would never hide from you, but you already know that. But you should get ready before the party starts." I could tell he was trying to get rid of me so I left him and went to my house. It was a small little house with blue lights instead of red covering the top and a bike that was a gift from my late father. He died fighting the Rakyat, i'll never forget the day my mother told me the news. Shaking my head trying to forget the memories I went into my tiny room and picked out some black shorts and a pale dressy top with designs on the top.

I went into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror I had short dark brown hair that only went to my chin and my coffee brown skin was in stark contrast with my green eyes that were a trait from my father, I was a little bigger than most girls not by a lot. But you could certainly tell when I was put next to one of my friends. Most of the time it didn't bother me but sometimes I felt inadequate around them, then my friends always seem to notice and how to make me feel better.

After finishing my hair and using what little make-up I have. I leave out the house and the party was already starting, people were dancing and laughing, and I've never seen my village this happy and it was all because of some guy. I saw someone walking out of Dennis's house and he was not what I was expecting. I saw him before he saw me, it really wasn't that hard to pick him out of the crowd when I knew everyone here since I was a kid. He was handsome I guess, his hair was sticking up in different directions and he had a slight build. He looked kind of unstable on his feet, and while he was following Dennis ,Fabu was eyeing him as she went over to where Imose was I saw them make eye contact. I felt heat rush up to my face at that, but I let it go. Dennis handed him some money from the looks of it and walked away, the man stopped for a second taking at look at his surroundings before walking into the gun shop.

I walked over to where Imose and Fabu where talking which happened to be right where the shop was, I felt a little giddy at the thought being near him but I pushed it away. Fabu had a look of pure lust while she was gazing at the shop even though the door was closed.

"I would fuck him so hard, Imose do you think he likes me? Do you think he;s cute" There was a threat in Fabu's voice while she was twirling her hair between her finger tips, Imose unfazed gave a shrug. When she saw me she gave me a small hug, while Fabu was still in a trance.

"I don't know Fabu but he looks scared shitless right now, so I would at least lay off him and give him some time until he's more stable." She said as if it was be obvious. Fabu licked her lips as he walked out of the shop paying no attention to what Imose said.

Now finally getting a closer look at him I noticed he had forest green eyes that almost looked brown. He noticed me looking and gave me a smile so small I hardly caught it, in return I gave him a small smile of my own. Then I noticed that he now had gun's on him instead of nothing but what he came out with, I wasn't surprised but before I could muster up the courage to talk to him Dennis came and took him away.

"Well, now that I've gotten a good look at him I'll say he cute but that all I'm giving you Fabu." Imose said with a grin on her face. Fabu was still looking appreciatively a the man's backside but I didn't care at the moment. I just wanted to see him again.
