-Ok so like the fact that I got reviews so fast and I thank you I also have someone telling me I swear in this to much and I can't help it honestly I'll try to tone it down a bit though.

It seemed like he only got five minutes of sleep when he felt something hit him. He opened his eyes to see Ripred.
"What is it." Gregor yawned
"You and my bond have to get up. We move in two hours and you need breakfast." He said then walked out of the tent
Gregor sighed one of the most terrifying things is a mad Luxa so here goes nothing "Luxa, Luxa."
"Five more minutes." Luxa said.
Gregor sighed again how to wake her up. The he got an idea. "Lux wake up you must punish Ripred he ate all the food and doomed us all."
"Good for him."
He thought and came up with another idea not the best and he'd get killed most likely but hey as long as she woke up.
So he got right next to her ear and screamed "Oh my god a purple haired monster is attacking us!"
She shot up took out her sword and said "Where, where is the evil from my nightmares!"
Gregor stared at her smirk on his lips and said "There is no purple haired monster I said it to get you up. Its breakfast come on."
They walked out of the tent where everyone was staring.
"Purple haired monster huh." Nick said
Luxa blushed at the fact they knew one of her worst nightmares. She would be walking around on the dark when suddenly an eighty foot tall beast covered in purple hair would come out of nowhere. It would grab her with a giant claw and put her on a stone over a fire to cook het and then would eat her.
"I didn't know I thought and just made something up. I had no idea she had nightmares about one." Gregor said.
They went and got breakfast and sat down away from the group.
"What are you thinking about Lux." Gregor asked
"Apologizing." She answered
"I think you should. Who knows you two could end up being good friends." Gregor said
"Alright but can you get her for me?" Luxa asked.
"Sure.: Gregor said.
He walked over to where Ashley was drawing patterns in the dirt with her hands.
"Hey Ash watcha thinking about?" Gregor
Ashley sighed "Apologizing."
"Really." Gregor said
"Yeah but I don't think she'll listen to me, I don't know how I would start and why would she accept my apology she probably hates me for what I did." Ashly said on the verge of crying.
Gregor sighed looked at her and said "Listen to me it not your fault when you two were fight you both crossed boundaries and I know for a fact she doesn't hate you and understands what happened and she even wants to talk to you."
"So you told her how you found me then." She said a stray tear rolling down her cheek.
"Ashley look at me, yes I told her how I met everyone and after I told her how I met you she literally felt so guilty she couldn't get to sleep she really is sorry and isn't mad she want to apologize too. Trust me have I ever lied to you about anything." Gregor said
"Thank you, Gregor." Ashley said
"For."
"Taking me in, helping my family and saving me. But mostly for being a friend."
He hugged her and helped her stand and walked over to Luxa. She sat across from her and Gregor sat in the middle he wanted to know what happened and if something goes wrong he'll need to stop it.
There was silence not the golden kind but the awkward kind. Finally Ashley spoke "Luxa I am so sorry about what I did I had no right to do that."
"No I am the one who should be apologizing I ripped you shirt first and I had no idea what had happened."
"It's okay really I shouldn't have snapped I was just jealous."
"I should not have pushed you like I did"
"Let's be friends from now on a clean slate agreed."
"Agreed."
The next par surprised Gregor Luxa actually hugged Ashley. He thought they would of left it at agreed he was wrong.
During the hug Ashley whispered "Watch him don't let him go."
When they broke the hug Luxa said "I don't plan to."
Ashley walked away. "Don't plan to do what?" Gregor asked
"Nothing honey." she said patted his cheek and walked away.
"Women just when you think you have it figured out they complicate it again."
The next half an hour they were packing up when they saw something coming towards them.
"What's that" Gregor asked
"Here let me try it out." Erin said as he sniffed.
"Bats nine of them human mounted armed. Just a guess but I think they might want to kill us."
Luxa and Ripred looked at each other then at everyone else "REBELS!"
Just then a volley of arrows stuck the ground around them. The bats mad a pass over and tried to grab them they all missed except one of the gat Gregor they took him up high be for dropping him.
Another rammed him while he was falling and he landed on anothers back the rider turned and slashed but he grabbed the riders arm and and took the dagger pushed the rider off to his death then killed his bat .
Zeus flew in and caught Gregor in in his hind claws the rebels got into a V formation again to make another pass over
"Zeus fly straight at the lead bat and his rider and at the last second whip me at the rider."
Zeus did as he said and charged he got ready and when he was ten feet away whipped Gregor at the lead rider. Gregor straightened out dagger in his hands in front of him he looked like a missile he was flying so fast. He hit his target.
The force of how fast he was going sent them both to the ground twenty feet below them the rider died upon impact and Gregor rolled away. He saw the lead bat charging him he ducked and held up his sword the bat flew into it and in second was on the ground unmoving he looked towards his quest mates to see they dispersed of the other rebels.
But something was missing more like someone he counted Luxa, me, nick, Perdita, Howard, Jacob, Erin, Ash- where is she. The he spotted her on he ground three claw marks on her stomach bleeding heavily.
"ASHLEY! HOWARD HELP ME OUT HERE." He screamed as he ran over to her body.
He got to her he saw Howard coming to help him and the others setting up a tent for him to work in. Gregor checked her pulse she was alive but barely. She opened her eyes.
"Gregor if I don't make it-."
"Don't say that you are surviving this."
"If I don't make it out of this tell my family I always loved them."
He couldn't say anything so he just nodded. He helped Howard carry her to the tent but he went outside and sat down immediately after, Luxa came and sat next to him.
"She'll be ok don't worry."
"She better I'll never forgive myself for making them come if she doesn't." he replied almost in tears.
That's how it was the next couple hours Gregor about to breakdown Luxa comforting him, the others talking around a fire and resting, and howard working on Ashley.
Finally Howard came out. "Gregor I stabilized her condition but if she is to survive she must be taken to Regelia." He said
"Hmm Perdita could you come here for a second." She walked over. "I need you and you bond to make sure Eris and Ashley get back to Regelia can you do this?" Gregor asked.
"Absolutely" she answered.
After packing up the all made sure Ashley was secured to Eris. Perdita her bond and Eris left. Everyone else remaining took to the sky they still had a goal to reach for the day and they reached it without any trouble.
They quickly set up camp and everyone fell asleep except for Gregor and Luxa.
