Chapter 11
Fury stood up and shot her arrow. She shot a hare in the back. She smiled in victory and walked over to it. She pulled the arrow out and put it with the others and put the body into bag. She stood up and turned around when she heard loud trampling.
Suddenly Strife busted out of the trees riding a buck. Fury's eyes widened and she dove out of the way as he rode to the water.
"Strife! You're going to ride into the lake!" Fury yelled as she ran after him. A woman on a doe sprinted past her and she slowed in confusion.
"Come on! We can't let him get hurt or worse have her hurt him." Death said and pulled Fury along after him. Once she got her footing and was racing beside Death, he let go of her arm and they ran to the water. Strife was sitting in the edge of the water dripping wet while the woman was petting the buck on the head with the doe beside her.
Fury could tell what happened and walked to the edge of the shore.
"How does it feel to be insane?" Fury asked. Strife smirked at her and chuckled.
"Pretty good actually." Strife said and laid back in the water. Fury looked over at Death and saw him talking with the woman. She turned away and saw Strife right when he flung water at her.
"I think you need a bath, you smell bad." Strife chuckled. Fury glared at him and backed away.
"You rode a deer and I'm the one that stinks?"
"Yeah."
"Strife, get out of the water. We're going home." Death called from the shore. Strife looked over to the north of the lake and could just barely see someone along the edge.
"Is that War?" Strife asked and pointed over. Death and Fury looked and saw the person walking along the edge.
"Maybe." Death said, he honestly wasn't that certain but as the figure got closer he knew it wasn't War. Faina huffed and left them, taking the deer with her.
The boy had a fishing rod with him. Fury could tell he had a similar build to War but had short hair rather than War's long mane.
"Get out of the water you idiot!" The boy yelled. Strife, who was already stepping out, glared at him. He was going to say a nasty retort but Death interrupted him.
"What are you doing out here?" Death demanded. The boy crossed his arms and stared along the lake.
"The rod isn't obvious enough? I'm fishing. Wild child over there needs to stop scaring them away." He said back. Strife growled at him and shook himself, trying to get dry.
"What is your name? I know I've seen you before." Fury said. The boy looked over at her. He stayed quiet for a moment and Fury knew he was looking over her.
"Absalom." He said at last. Strife pulled Fury away when he caught the look Absalom was giving his sister.
"Creep."
"Moron."
"Enough! We're getting War and going home. Tomorrow we're training anyway." Death said. Strife grumbled something under his breath and followed the others.
I just wanted to announce that I have a poll up for what story I should start uploading if anyone is interested in voting. I'm only putting the names and going to keep the summaries a secret so you will just have to judge by the titles. Thanks for the support, see ya.
