He grabbed a tiny pack, and looked at me.
"which way? "
" follow me " I said, heading the way I was originally going. We ran. And ran. No matter how far we went, their voices were still right behind us.
" can you climb?" I said.
"I can try" he replied. We stopped at a thicker tree than the others. Quickly I hoisted myself up onto the lowest branch, and jumped for the second. Ash followed closely behind me. A minute later, we had reached the middle of the tree. I motioned for him to stop just as the carrers came into view. There were three of then, one a girl. Each had lethal looking weapons.
"which way did they go? " one said.
" dunno " said the girl, fingering an arrow tip from her quiver. I looked at Ash. He was holding a stone, ready to throw it. I opened my mouth to argue, but he put up a finger to silence me. He threw the rock and it landed about ten meters away from us. Instantly all three carrrers looked round. They ran off.
"Ash that was great!" I said. He smiled as he started to climb down.
"let's go sort out our things, I haven't even looked at my stuff yet, " I said, following him.
