Emotions, too many emotions. I had to get out of this overbearing pit of emotions, so I did. I got up and walked toward the forest, slowly at first, as soon as I was sure the camp couldn't see me, I ran. I ran for who knows how long, running through the forest just to get away. I stopped dead, in front of me was a girl, she was on her knees holding a very messed up bird. The thing was probably dead, there was blood all over it, it's feathers were everywhere, it didn't look like it was breathing. She didn't notice me, she was examining the bird.
"Um. Hi." I said. Her head shot up and turned to look at me, she adopted a worried and surprised expression on her face. She stood up, cradling the bird in her arms like a baby, turned around and ran with alien speed. I stood there for a minute, thinking about what just happened, then I started back to the valley. It took longer, considering I walked, but I needed the time alone. The only thing that I could think about was that girl, she was pretty, I knew that for a fact. Other than that she was completely alien to me, speaking of alien, a blue, part-human-part-scorpion-part-deer-with-no-mouth-and-stalk-eyes came into view.
(Marco, you're mother sent me to find you) Ax said.
"Ok, I was on my way back anyway." I said, and for a few minutes we walked in silence. "Ax, you know a lot about these woods right?"
(Yes)
"Have you ever seen a girl out here? One that isn't from the valley?" I asked.
(No, I don't believe any humans live in this forest)
"Ok, just wondering." When we got to the camp, everyone was in one spot. "Ax, what's going on?" I asked.
(I do not know. Everyone was in their cabins when I left to find you.) We walked toward the group, eventually I found my parents.
"What's going on?" I asked, my mom just grabbed my hand and dragged me toward the center of the group. Standing in the middle, was a huge group of Andilites, and a blonde girl.
"Rachel!" I exclaimed.
