Chapter 9: Return

(Ragnar's POV)

Putting the sword away, Ragnar pulled the person he knew so well into a hug.

"Ragnar, wow, it been a long time."

"It really has, who's the girlfriend?" Said Ragnar, signalling to Hannah who was standing still, shocked.

"Hannah, this is Ragnar, a old friend of mine - Ragnar this is Hannah, my girlfriend."

"Wow, she's actually your girlfriend? Well about time too." Offering his hand he shook hands with Hannah.

(Hannah's POV)

Hannah studied the man she now knew to be Ragnar. He had short brown hair with pale skin and extremely bright, almost glowing yellow eyes with a green hoodie - with a creeper on the back - that wasn't completely buttoned showing his white T–Shirt in middle with blue jeans and black shoes. He's taller than Xephos, he looked kind but Hannah could tell that that could easily change.

After shaking his hand and saying hi to be nice, they decided that Ragnar would be on lookout first while Hannah and Xephos slept and then he would wake them up, and with morning approaching rapidly Hannah headed straight for bead.

(Sjin's POV)

Through the leaves Sjin could see the house they had just escaped from. The sun was just peeking over the horizon, spreading an orange glow across the land. Studying the house to confirm that there was no movement from inside, he turned to Minty who was crouched next to him.

"I'm going in."

"We can't just rush into this and get caught by surprise."

"Well we can't just sit here all day, so what do you advise we do?"

"Give me that rock." She signalled to a medium sized rock next to Sjin, who passed it over.

Moving out of cover for a second Minty aimed the rock and threw it at the window of the house next door, smashing it.

She ducked back under cover just in time. Benji appeared at the door and called Strippin's name. When no reply came he left to investigate.

Sjin pulled Minty close for a quick kiss before saying. "What would I do without you?"

"Crash and burn." She replied hurriedly before grabbing his arm and signalling for him to check inside.

He searched the house with little hope of finding Sips alive, trying to remind himself of what Minty had said 'If he was dead we would have heard the cannon and seen his name in the sky." But he could help thinking that they had just missed it in the chase. He was just about to give up when he heard Minty call him from outside.

He rushed outside and around the side of the house to find Minty kneeling over Sips. He knelt beside her and released a breath that he hadn't noticed he was holding when he saw that he was awake.

"You OK?"

"Apart from falling from the roof and being abandoned, unable to walk, hoping that no one finds me, I've been doing great."

"Yea, sorry about that. Not to worry I've got a healing potion." Revealing a pinkish liquid from his bag, he passed it over to Sips who downed it before testing his now rapidly healing leg.

"Good to go?" with a nod from Sips they made their way back into the forest, unnoticed by Benji.

(Kimi's POV)

Kimi made her way through the forest, carelessly kicking shrubs out of her way. Duncan had not been happy when she suggested that he should go and find Toby, leaving Kimi to go on the hunt this time.

She was just about to change directions when she became aware of a group moving towards her. Not wanting to fight she ducked under cover, waiting for them to pass.

As they came closer she recognised them as Sjin, Sips and Minty. They had nearly become level with her when someone, who she felt stupid for not noticing before as their hiding was not good, came out from a hiding place and attacked the group.

It was Toby. Going into what seemed like a suicidal mission. He was instantly engaged with combat with Sjin: he was totally oblivious to Sips coming up behind him. Kimi took out her bow and fired at Sips. Sjin and Minty ran over to Sips leaving Toby time to escape the suicide mission which it looked like he regretted.

As Toby ran past her she grabbed his arm and with no time to explain she pulled him into a run. They got out of sight just in time to hear the cannon sound and the words 'Sips was shot by' to appear in the sky.


So that's it for now should be another something next week.

Sophia: fun note, she started writing this with no idea of how she was going to end it and is only just thinking of a way to end it.

Me: I'm not good with endings, that's why I like sequels, and Sophia stop with the fun facts.

Kimi: I still don't get how she knows this stuff and I'm pretty sure that note book doesn't exits.

Me: that's it, adios peeps! I going to get pudding!

Everyone: can we come!

Me: if you must.
