I accidentally made Laura's elemental weapon a sword in the last chapter. Sorry it's a bow. I fixed it though. Ooh that rhymed. Hehe.


Ethan's Pov.

I cannot believe that I ever thought this would be fun! I mean yeah it looked really cool when Legolas and Aragorn and Gimli fought the orcs, but this is terrifying. And there aren't just orcs. There are these other things too! The ghosts are practically unstoppable. I'm best at fighting the serpentine. They may be strong but they're stupid.

I swung my lava scythe at and orc. The orc ducked and threw a dagger at me. I dodged it enough so that it didn't slice my head off but it slid across my cheek. It felt hot and cold at the same time and I felt a hot liquid run down the side of my face. I put my hand up to my cheek and drew it out in front of me. My hand was covered in blood. I felt anger boil inside of me as the pain went through my face and I used the anger to power my scythe and it started running with hot lava. I swung the scythe at the orc and sliced the scythe through its chest. It screamed and blood came up its throat and started pouring from it's mouth. I gagged at the sight and moved away.
I fought every creature there it seemed. It made me sad and angry that I had to fight people not just some creatures from another world. But I had to fight actual people, people who were once normal that were now controlled by an evil force. It hurt to kill them.
One point was the saddest for me. It was a boy, who looked my very age maybe younger. He looked like he would've been a pretty good friend to me. For I second I thought I would've been able to release him from the Triton app…

"You can fight it. You don't have to live in fear. It's not your real mind! Be free of its control!" I told him. He actually paused for a second. He looked into my eyes with his. He looked scared, sad, and lonely. The green in his eyes faded for a second. I smiled. But then his eyes suddenly went plain with no feeling in them, just that bright green and he growled at me. I stood in my place and he threw a dark red and black ball at me but I dodged it with me sword. I had to do it… I killed him…
I cried. I know it's not manly to cry, and to me it shows weakness. But I cried. I just killed another human being! But I am weak…we all are. No one is really strong…ever… We all have weaknesses…Though some cannot see it.

It began to grow darker and darker. I could tell night was coming. We'd soon have to fall back and set up camp away from the army. We'd have to keep our guard. We'd have to build barriers around the camp so we could stay there safely.
Finally we started to move back. Step by step we slowly moved back pretending that we were weakening. Though many of us were tired. Finally we were called to actually fall back.

"Fall back!" Aragorn called. "Everyone keep it moving!" Mr. Davenport yelled. "We cannot waist time we must fall back!" Sensei Wu said. So we all turned and ran back as far as we could. The last thing that I heard from the army was this:

"They're falling back. We have the upper hand," Krane's voice said. The Witch laughed evilly.
"Soon we will destroy them," she said in her icy voice.
"Come. We will give a report to Sauron at our camp," The Overlord's dark voice spoke. Then with one last glance I saw them turn and go back.

When was the last time they were in a war? Don't they know that when someone falls back you go after them? I thought.

Kaz's Pov.

After we fell back about a half a mile away we began to set up things. I had a bunch of cuts all over me. I wasn't used to fighting so many people at once. I've only really fought Roman and Riker, who to be honest, compared to these guys are a bunch of wimps.

We began setting up the tents. There were five tents. Two for the boys, two for the girls and one really big one that we'd meet in to discuss our future plans and stuff like that. Oh and it also had a healing room. How nice.

"We need to set up a barrier," Aragorn said. I nodded.
"Yes that's perfect!" I exclaimed.

"Ready…" Skylar began. "One, two…"
"What's a barrier?" I asked. Aragorn looked at me weirdly and so did the others. He walked over to me and whispered in my ear, "You have much to learn my little friend." The others snickered and I pouted. "It's not funny!" I said. "I'm not little…" That sent them all off laughing. Anger boiled up inside of me.
"Stop it alright!? I'm tired of you guys not taking me seriously," I said. I didn't care if there was a large army nearby ready to kill us. I walked out of the tent and sat down on the cold grass a little ways away. No one ever takes me seriously. I may be immature and sometimes dumb but that doesn't mean I can't be smart or mature.
I sat there for about ten minutes until I heard the soft sound of feet walking slowly on the grass and I felt a small hand rest on my shoulder. I turned and looked up to see Katelyn standing over me. I smiled slightly and blushed a little more. It's no lie that I have liked Katelyn since I first lai eyes on her…

"Hey Kk," I said using her nickname I had sometimes heard Laura and Angie use. She smiled and sat down next to me.
"Kaz…I'm sorry I laughed," she started. I sighed.
"It's okay, really. No one ever has taken me seriously anyway…" I said and looked away. She sighed again sadly.
"No I really am sorry. I shouldn't have laughed. You were just asking a question. None of us should have laughed," Katelyn said. We sat in silence for up to five minutes and through that time many thoughts were racing through my head. Maybe Katelyn does like me back. No that's just a stupid thought. See I'm always stupid. Maybe I should tell her? No not now I have to wait for the right moment. That I remembered something Laura had said. (A/N I never really said this in the book but you know things happened that I didn't write) She said she was quoting Sensei Wu. Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today. And I won't, I thought. I turned to Katelyn.

"Katelyn there is something I have to tell you," I said. We both stood up. She was a good five or six inches shorter than me, making me feel tall. She nodded.
"Fire away," she said. I started feeling myself heating up.
"Okay how do I put this…Since I first…saw you…I…I've loved you," I said. There. I can't take those words away. Ooh maybe I can get Mr. Davenport to bring back his memory eraser…no. I want her to know this. "It's okay if you don't feel the same. I should probably…" she cut me off.
"No Kaz. I actually feel the same…" she said quietly. My eyes widened.
"You do? Well that's great! I guess," I said. I didn't know what to say so I just hugged her. "Thank you Katelyn," I mumbled. She smiled.
"No problem Kaz," Katelyn answered. I felt much better and much more confident now so I went inside. Then Oliver came up to me.

"Kaz glad you're back. We've begun discussing how we'll build the barrier," he told me. I just nodded and smiled. I didn't even bother asking again, What's a barrier?


OMW the Kazlyn! Ahhh it was so cute! Kaz is so funny am I right?
