"Longshot?"
I looked up from my bow and right into Smellerbee's eyes. I raised my eyebrows slightly in question. Normally, nobody bothered me when I was sitting with my bow on my lap. Maybe they thought I was trying to think. Or perhaps looking for targets...
"How'd you get your name?" She asked, plopping down beside me. My eyebrows receded even farther into my hairline. Personally, I thought it was a little obvious. I didn't carry around bows and arrows for nothing.
I looked away from her, trying to come up with a coherent response when inspiration came in the form of our fearless leader.
Without a sound, I grabbed an arrow and notched it on my bow, aiming carefully. Then, I let it fly.
"Oi!"
I smiled, lowering my bow. Poor Jet had been walking by, the perfect unsuspecting target. Now, the stalk of wheat that had been in his mouth was pinned to a nearby tree. And Jet was less than pleased.
"Longshot! You nearly shot my lips off!"
I ignored him, still smiling, looking back at Smellerbee. She was on the groud, laughing harder than I have ever seen her laugh. "Oh." She managed to choke out, holding her side. While Jet was undoubtedly going to try and kill me in my sleep tonight, her laughter made it worth it.
I tipped my hat to her and stood. Wouldn't the others be happy when I volunteered for watch tonight?
Yay! My first Freedom Fighters drabble. Lately, I've been writing alot for the trio of Jet, Smellerbee and Longshot. I wish we could have seen more of the Freedom Fighters... And, in odd form for me, this is probably going to be home to more Freedom Fighter drabbles, which could mean more than one chapter! I know, not chapter in a traditional sense, but it makes me happy. Disclaimer: Not mine, so I am sad.
