Chapter two: A Broken Promise
"APRIL!" I screamed as I helplessly watched her get dragged off by a tribe of ugly, greasy men.
Why didn't I protect her more? This was all my fault! Tears started to flow down my face. I brushed them away only to have more take their place.
I heard something stir.
David. He looked around.
"What happened? Where's April?" He asked as he realized the arrow was still in his leg. He screamed as he pulled it out.
"Gone." I said "Because of me!" I dug my fingers into my arm.
"Christopher it's not your fault," David tried to comfort me but failed. "You tried to save her."
"Well I should have tried harder!" I screamed suddenly angry. Not at David, but at myself.
Jalil finally woke up and like David was completely confused.
"What happened?" I didn't answer.
David answered for me "That tribe carried her off."
Then Jalil asked the stupidest question of all time and with Jalil that doesn't happen very often.
"Will she be ok?" Told you it was stupid.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK?!" I yelled. Now I was getting mad at them. "From the looks of them I don't think their going to give her a nice bath and a warm cozy bed! And did you see how ugly they were? I don't think they get many beautiful girls who knows what that will lead to!" I was babbling a bit, I do that when I'm worried
Jalil got what I meant and looked down at the ground.
"They might even take her to Hel!" I shivered as I said this. Hel half of her was a dream the other half was a living nightmare. I remembered April told me the worst thing she ever came across was Hel. And that nothing scared her more then Hel.
I wondered how scared she was now. I knew she was scared.
" We have to find her." I told Jalil and David.
"Wait a minute; When Senna gets lost its 'screw her' then when April gets kidnapped its 'we have to save her?" David said it as more of a statement then a question.
"This is April!" I argued. "Not some psycho women!"
David opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off.
"David what happened to your 'no one gets left behind' attitude?"
David sighed and tried to stand up. He fell back down and shouted out it pain. I looked at the wound on his leg. Blood was slowly seeping out of it.
"Oh great the general can't even walk." I said bitterly. I shouldn't take it out on them but I couldn't help it.
"I'll need Christopher to carry me." He said
"Why me?" I asked.
"You're the strongest." He replied simply.
"Fine." I walked over and picked him up. Normally I would tease David about this or just refuse to carry another guy but there was no time. Who knows what's happening to April.
Jalil stood up I imagined his head still hurt from the fact that there was a big bloody spot where he hit the rock.
The ground was muddy and I almost jumped for joy when I saw that they left faint footprints.
We walked along without saying a word. I began to miss April more. Usually at a time like this she'd sing. She had an amazing voice.
I remembered when I was holding her I promised I'd keep her safe. A broken promise.
As we walked a long I had only one thought in mind.
Don't worry April. We're coming.

I'm sorry if Christopher was out of character in that chapter. April's POV comes next. Please R/R and tell me if I should continue.
P.S. April will not be taken to Hel just so yah know.
