Note: I'm so sorry to those who were waiting for another chapter (if anyone was waiting that is!), but the school internet got stuffed up and my home internet was getting updated… blah, blah, blah.
Please tell me what you think, as I really like reviews – they make me feel loved and special inside! (and some of the only mail I get - jokes). I know that lots of people have read my story cause of my stats, but I only have 2 reviews. (One is from my friends, so only 1 other fanficcie author has commented). Please, can you all wake up and realise that reviews are both fun to receive and good feedback.
That is all I have to say.
Happy reading!
(You can call me names and insult me if you want in your reviews, I don't care, just send me one!)

CHAPTER 2!
I gazed at Rushton as he slept. He looked so peaceful. Could I really leave him? No, I thought to myself fiercely, you of all people are not going to have second thoughts! You can't back out now.
I doubted myself for what I was going to do. I knew that it would tear him to pieces if I left, but I also knew that if I stayed I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Rushton would do the exact same thing if he was in my position.
Why are the most important decisions the hardest ones to keep? It seems that everything we do has strings attached – some important feature that's been overlooked or forgotten. That's how I felt now, both frustrated and lonely for what I was about to do. I have to go where Rushton, or anyone else, can't follow. My journey is mine, and mine alone.
I closed the door quietly behind me. Now was not the time for reflections, or to think of the consequences. If I did, I'd never have the guts to do this.
I walked down the corridor slowly and softly, hoping against hope that no one would hear me. Further down the corridor, I heard another door open softly before it closed. The dark outline of Javo came into view before me. Silently, I held a finger to my lips and motioned for him to follow. He nodded and I listened to his foot-falls behind me.
When we were outside I let Javo lead. He knew where to go more than I did. I was only following instinct, whereas Javo knew from experience.
That was the only reason that Javo was here. I needed him to help me start this journey, but we both knew that he couldn't be around for the ending.
I was grateful for Javo's help, if a little resentful. I don't like being dependant on others, and I'm not usually unless I absoultly need to be. This was one of those times.
I could hear Javo's breathing deepen as we climbed the rocky landscape. I keep close to him in the dark, not wanting to loose my way. I couldn't fail at the beginning of everything!
After what seemed like hours, we arrived. I knew when Javo slowed, that we were closer to our destination. I didn't want to go now that we were there. Why was I even here? What purpose did all of this serve? But most of all, why me? What makes me so special?
I embraced Javo then watched as he went back the way we came. I didn't know when I would see him again, or any of the others. I don't like being alone. Loneliness is a hard burden to bear.
I stepped into the cave, sat down on the floor and waited.
I didn't ask to become a hero…
