Chapter 9: Donna

"WHAT WAS THAT!" the long blonde headed girl said with astonishment. "Is someone there?"

"oww…. That's the last time that I jump out of that big a building. And who are you?" The brown-haired plainly inquired. "The names Josh, and I can no longer feel my legs. This sucks."

"My name is Donna," the blonde girl stated, "and are you alright? You don't look to well, are you sure your alright?"

"I… feel just fine, I'm just going to pass out now."

A few hours later.

"Oh….. crud, what happened, where am I?"

The blonde headed girl came over suddenly and began to speak softly. "Are you alright? Do you need me to get you some water or something?"

"No, I just need some food. I'm starved! Your name is Donna, right?"

"Yes. I'm the one that got you away from those guards outside of Hellena Prison." Donna paused shortly to think of how she was going to ask this next question without seeming nosey. "Why were those guards looking for you in the first place? And don't tell me they weren't because they said 'Don't stop till you find that brown haired punk!' and are continuing to look for you right at this moment!"

Josh just laid there in amazement that she could be captain obvious with authority. "Since you got me away from those freaks at Hellena, I guess that you deserve to know why they was looking for me. I started a jailbreak to get one of my friends out of there because she was wrongly and falsely imprisoned. That, and, well, I kinda, killed the warden for what he had done to Seles."

As Josh finished his explanation, he heard a rustle in the bushes not even five feet away. There's no way I can fight in my condition. But I have to protect her at any cost. She saved my life, the least I can do is protect her.

"HEADS UP YOU CREEP!!!" Josh had suddenly yelled and threw a knife that was laying beside him.

"OOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" a familiar voice yelled out. "Josh! Wait! Don't throw anything else! Its me Anthony! Can we come out without being impaled?"

"Whoops! Sorry Anthony, come on out." Then Josh just laid back down and relaxed his muscles but still felt much pain from his earlier fight with Ragnar.

"Josh. Who are these people?" Donna began inquiring, "Are they friends of yours?"

Josh slowly and painfully opened his eyes to see his family, Heather, Anthony, and Danielle sitting close to him. "Yes they are friends of mine, and the only family that I have in this world. The one standing against the tree there is Anthony. The red head with the staff is Danielle. And the one to my left is Heather. It would just be best if I explain everything to you. About my past, and why I refer to them as my only family. I'm an orphan. I moved to Seles when I was seven……."

"I used to live in Hoax, but everything went to hell there after a short time. A warlord with vast and unimaginable powers came.He's the worst thing since the black monster."

"But the sad thing is that I don't even remember what he looks like." Josh then stood up and started walking away. "Guys, I want to be alone for a little while. So please don't follow me."

"Josh! Wait!" Donna had just yelled out and started running after him but was stopped abruptly by Anthony.

The dark-haired boy stood there and thought of what to say. "Leave him alone. He needs this time to himself." At this time Heather stood up and started chasing after him.

She just had time to yell out a short sentence. "I'm gonna find out why he keeps referring to us as family!"
