Fire City Girl : Thank you for your review and ideas!

Rose218125: Not a bad idea neither. Thank you!

Dodo.123: Thank you for ALWAYS reviewing!

xbamsod: I'm glad you like it, thank you for reviewing!

What I find strange is the fact that in this story, I barely wrote 2000 words(1,607 to be precise), and I got 14, and for Imperial Spear (Going to update soon…(8,248 words) I only got 8. Odd…

Also…Thank you for waiting so long for another update. Summer has its faults too you know!

Edit: I, am very, very pissed at myself right now. After having a break, I seemed to go to lala land for too long, and now, I haven't updated in what? 2 years? O.O Sorry, so sorry, I had many things to do over the years, and homework. Bane of life. Ugh.

Anyways, I am going to try and continue this. I hope I can keep a promise of one update per week, but I'm also working on an epic fantasy on Fictionpress, so check that out too. Look me up: Stormknyght.

And now for the tale, that I have finally dug up from my previously virus infected files.

Reason 6: You are an ace at hide and seek!

"Your kidding me right?"

Halt shook his head and looked at Will again.

"No, I am not kidding you." He replied, a trace of sarcasm in his voice, "I'm only asking you to jump off a cliff, do my dishes and save the world within six days, no extra days allowed.

Will sighed and shook his head. "No, I'm serious, do you mean it?"

"Why not?" Halt retorted.

Horace, who was watching all this, was very, very confused.

"What are you talking about?" He asked.

The two rangers payed no attention to the young warrior.

"Come on! I'm not that young!"

"Yes you are, and you act that way too!"

Horace gave his Horace shrug of ignorance and annoyance ©, and screamed.

"WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON?"

Will stopped and stared at Horace.

"Um, Horace, It's What the Hell is going on, not shit."

Halt nodded in agreement.

Horace shook his head. "Never mind that. What are you guys talking about?"
Will looked at Halt with a murderous glint in his eyes. "I have to look for some suspicious papers, while looking after some children…"

The young warrior shrugged. "Sounds fun"

"…As one of them."

The next day, which happened to be a sunny day, Will trudged into the schoolyard. The happy yells of the kids didn't affect him. In fact, it made him even madder.

Why was the world against him?

A loud crashing sound shook Will from his emo pit of despair.

It also broke his eardrums.

"AHHHH!" He screamed, covering his ears. With this bell, it was no surprise that the old people around here were deaf.

Shaking his head, he dragged his sorry self into the classroom.

Walking into the classroom, he noted that the door seemed to always be ajar. It would be a good escape route if needed.

And it seemed needed indeed.

As soon as he walked in a horde of screaming kids greeted him.

"Ok children," the teacher spoke, "This is a new student, and his name is…William."

Will cringed as he heard the sound of a classroom of children scream in name. Rangers always liked to be desecrate.

And how did he get into this mess? Horace was supposed to be here, but he somehow slipped away. Like a ranger, he would like to say, but Will felt like killing him instead. It was an interesting tale, but it would have to be saved for another date.

Regardless, Will was in a schoolhouse filled with children, and he was scared.

"Well, William, why don't you take a seat beside our good friend Phil here?" the teacher said. Will wanted to run, in fact, he was planning to until he remembered what Halt had said to him before he left.

"You leave, you die." And the scariest part was: Halt said it with a smile, A SMILE! Halt never smiled, unless he was killing something, and Will didn't want to be killed! He was a good boy!

So Will decided it was for the best if he stayed, for now of course. He would escape sooner or later.

Looking across from him, Will studied Phil. He looked bulky, somewhat like Horace before he went on his diet, and he wore a loose shirt and trousers. He had a mop of black hair on his head, and squinty eyes that made him look like a sneaky little badger.

Will noted this, and realized that this kid would be an annoyance. He would have to somehow get him off his trail, and it would take some work, since Phil seemed to be interested in Will.

Of course, if Will was to blend in, he would have to ditch his beloved rangers cloak and bow. He still carried his saxe, but in a sheath attached to his outer cloak, which he had taken off in the mud room. He didn't think he would have to kill anyone here, after all, they were children, but they looked like children not to be messed with.

The teacher droned on and on about the history of Araluen. Will already memorized it, and so he didn't pay any attention at all. Phil didn't pay any attention as well, though Will seriously doubted that he memorized the history as well.

"William!" The teacher called, "Who is our king right now?"

"Duncan." Will replied with a monotone.

"The pig butt." Some other voice said.

The class burst out laughing and the teacher looked enraged. No longer was she friendly, in fact, she looked more like a witch than woman.

"A week's detention." She stated, and Will looked at her in despair. "And you better not insult King Duncan again, unlike that Ranger Halt who did. Look where that got him? Exiled."

"And he saved his apprentice." Will shot back, "And he rescued the princess as well."

The teacher snorted like a dragon and made a don't-mess-with-me face.

"Two week's detention."

Will snorted and shrugged. His status as apprentice ranger should get him out of this. Well, when Halt comes back anyways.

Will sighed. He was sure Halt would come back, just after he was done his detentions. The joy of being an apprentice.

He startled up as he heard the huge bells ring again. And again, his ear-drums were destroyed.

Will gritted his teeth, but said nothing.

"Break time." The teacher announced. "Go outside and enjoy the fresh air!"

The children ran our screaming, and Will trudged after them. He needed to find out who framed him, and he was pretty sure who it was. And he knew exactly how to get back at him.

"Hide and Seek time!" Some child screamed and a few children gathered around. Will noted that his target was one of them, so he joined in.

After many confusing arguments on who would be it, and who the hell it was, why was it called it, why not a Ranger, what the hell does it mean, and why the hell is this game so confusing (Along with the question: Why am I using hell so much), they finally chose someone to seek.

Luckily, Will was not the seeker, and using his masterful skills, he went and hid in a tree outside.

Looking out from the branches, Will noticed that his target was getting closer. He hid behind Will's tree, so Will didn't budge, he just smiled and waited.

Kid after kid was caught, and Will just relaxed in his tree. None of the children had tried to look up. They were too focused on the ground, and everything on it. They picked up stones, and sticks, and everything else, and yet they still didn't bother to look up.

Will snorted, and Phil, his target finally looked up. He let out a scream as Will jumped right on top of him.

Of course, no ribs broke. That would mean Will would be carted off to jail, that, or he would be hung upside-down on a pine tree by Halt.

Will preferred the prison.

The scream had attracted children, and Will climbed back up the tree. Phil on the other hand, was now surrounded by children screaming: "You're caught!" and beating him with small twigs.

Will just smirked. You don't mess with a ranger. Especially when you're playing hide and seek.

Review, please? I'm sorry, but please?
