June
When I woke up I saw that I was bandaged, on my bed, and I felt a lot better I got up and noticed that everyone else was treated like I had been. I heard a creak and saw through the ceiling boards that the boy was up there with long rectangular things. Why was he in the empty room? I went up to investigate. The boy was putting books on bookshelves that he had added to the room. I yelled, "Freeze! We're all awake and armed!"
This was a complete lie. I had come without a weapon and was all alone. The boy turned around and said in a nice, cool, calm voice, "No you're not. I can see the other three through the floorboards. Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you. If I wanted to I could have easily done it while we were fighting. When I woke up I was surprised and frightened and didn't know what I was doing. I'm sorry. Can I stay here with you guys? I made a library."
I smiled and said, "Sure. You'll just have to convince the others."
He smiled back, "Thanks. I will. And by the way my name is Scott"
When everyone else had woken Scott explained his story. "I was fighting a bunch of zombies and had just sliced the last one's head off and had just sheathed my sword when I felt talons grip my shoulders. I couldn't do anything. If I could reach my sword I could kill the Winged Wretch and fall and go Splat! Not a good option. If I let him take me to his perch I'd get eaten.
The sun was setting and I admired what would probably be my last sunset when I heard a Whoosh! And the Winged Wretch let go of me. I fell accepting my fate, hit something bouncy, and slammed into the ground. Then I woke up and saw strangers. You guys understand right. I'm really sorry. Can I join your group?"
We all answered, "Yes."
Jack said, "Can you teach me swordplay? And I think the bouncy thing you hit was Blarg's underbelly."
"Gross," Scott answered, "I hope I can make it outside before I puke."
He rushed outside pantomiming throwing up. We all laughed. I think I'll sleep on the floor tonight. See you guys in the morning. We all went to sleep on what was probably the most important day since the apocalypse.

The next day Scott seemed to be very helpful. He made himself a nice bed. He helped Jack with the bathroom. He helped in the garden. He went out to get supplies. He even helped me with traps, weapons, and medicine. After awhile he went up to the treehouse and I thought that he was helping Jack again, but a little bit later he called, "Lunch is ready! Come and get the spaghetti while it's hot!"
I ran toward the ladder and climbed up. Jack was already there and holding a bowl and a spoon. "Can I get it first because I was here first." Jack asked.
"Maybe," Scott said, "but I think that the rule is ladies first."
"Yes," June said, "and Spaghetti is my favorite. How did you know?"
"I didn't. I cooked it because I like it." he answered laughing.
We all sat down and ate. Later that night we played a minecraft hunger games map and Scott beat all of us! Jack and I never lose. (We're proud of that fact. It's one of the few times we can actually beat June.)
As the birds and grasshoppers sang we all went to bed, but Scott couldn't go to sleep. (It was probably the Ice Cream he won making him jittery.) He got up went to the bathroom. I heard a dull thunk and saw Scott leave after packing a backpack full of food and grabbing his sword.
I woke everyone else up and told them what I had seen. We agreed that the next time we saw this happen we would follow him and see where he went. We all went to sleep and the next morning when Scott was back with us we pretended nothing had happened.

The next night I lied awake and watched Scott he seemed not to move I went up and checked if he was asleep. He was. I went to bed and this repeated the next few days. On the seventh day I watched Scott. He got up and went to his sword. He packed a sack with Pop-Tarts, Strawberries, Cheetos, and Sandwiches.
He jumped to the floor, and I woke everyone up. The chase was on.
