"Dear Julianna (Mother)" Alice writes as she lays on one of beds in one of the twenty five tree forts. "My first day at training went well, my partner is still Sal like usual." Alice thinks back to early that day.

12 hours earlier

Alice and the some of the other trainee's started to run as many instantly started to fight. "Sal! Sal!" Alice continued to look around as she noticed her friend about to smack someone with a rock. "Sal, enough beating that kid for one day, we have to go!" Sal dropped the rock onto the kids face breaking his nose and joined with Alice as they both ran for the first place they saw.

Present

"Sal and I fought for two other places before finally capturing this one…" Alice sat back and looked at the sharpened branch next to her. "Luckily Varinius gave me that combat knife before I left. Without it I don't think we would have captured this place."

9 hours earlier

"Alice, this is the 2nd place we failed at capturing!" Sal keeps on limping as she looks down at her leg which currently has shards of glass stuck into it. "I can't believe those two broke the window of that cabin just so that they could use the glass shards as a weapon." Alice continues to check her own arm as it has about three knife slashes around her elbow. "It was that bitch Florentine! If she wouldn't have helped that other girl we would be relaxing in a damn cabin!" Alice and Sal keep walking when they finally come upon one of the twenty five cabins. "Okay, new plan…" Alice climbs a tree and pulls out a combat knife. "I'm not into fighting dirty, but it isn't fighting dirty if we make the weapons!" Alice cuts down two of the tree's branches.

Alice jumps out of the tree and walks over to Sal who is standing near the branches. "I'm going to sharpen these and then if anyone try's to give us a hard time we can fight back again." Sal continues to look at the branches. "So, you have had that combat knife with you this entire time" Sal looks up at Alice with anger. "And never once did you think to pull it when the others started to stab and slice us!" Sal starts to advance towards Alice. "S-Sal, I just said that I don't like to fight dirty. Pulling this when they were using regular things around would be fighting dirty!" Sal grabs Alice and slams her against a tree. "Look at me Alice, Do I look like I give a single shit about what your damn morals are!" Sal's eyes start to go from silver to red. "Promise me this Alice; if we are ever in a situation like this again, you better pull that fucking knife!"

Present

"I was afraid that Sal was going to beat me down, but luckily enough after she or he said that we sharpened the sticks and calmed back down." Alice hears Sal come into the room. "I'm going to get some sleep and hope that my leg heals." Sal lies down onto the bed but first gives Alice a kiss on the cheek. "I'm sorry about attacking you earlier, I just got annoyed that you allowed us to take this many injuries and you still didn't pull that knife." Alice puts her letter to Julianna away and lies down herself and lets out a quiet laugh. "Its fine, I kind of deserved it after since I barely took any injuries while you on the other hand got the shit kicked out of you."

7 hours earlier

Alice and Sal finished carving the branches when another group started to approach the tree house they had been watching. "Alice, let them capture it, then when they least expect it we'll take it from them!" Alice put the combat knife away as her and Sal helped each other into a tree which was right next to the fort.

5 hours later

The other team continued to set up there stuff in the tree fort as Alice and Sal continued to watch them. "I would rate that her probably about an eight out of ten." Alice said quietly as Sal looked at the other one. "I would give her about a ten out of ten." Alice laughed quietly as one of the girls walked over to the fort's windows. "I swear to god! I heard a damn voice out here again!" Sal and Alice stay hidden as the other girl yells over. "We have been in here for 2 hours, and this has been going on for a good 7 hours already. I think everyone has captured a place already." Alice and Sal silently sneak through one of the other windows and approach one of the girls from behind. "We haven't captured a place." Sal and Alice put the sharpened branches towards the two other girl's backs as they flipped around and both landed punches to Sal and Alice's eyes.

Sal looked at one of the girls with red eyes. "You bitch!" Sal charged the girl head on, shoved the sharpened branch into the girl's right shoulder and pushed her out the window where she fell for about 25 feet. "Sal watch out!" Alice tried to warn as Sal got smacked in the face with the two girl's bags. "No one fucking hurts my teammate!" Both Alice and the girl yelled as the girl went for Sal but before she could she was stabbed in the leg by Alice. "Go join your damn friend then!" Alice ripped the branch out of the girl's leg and kicked her through the tree forts door and off the side.
