Chapter 6
Tyrson cursed as she thought of how she got herself into this mess. She was hot, tired, and wanted to just lay down and go to sleep. 'Why couldn't
I have just stayed put' she thought angrily to herself.
FLASHBACK
Tyrson was walking to the main tent. She was part of one of the few resistances in the area. Tyrson had been part of the resistance since she was little and the resistance raised her. She had no family and she heard that they were killed in a Daemon attack. And eventhough the resistance raised her they weren't like a family. Sure everyone was nice but Tyrson couldn't really bond with any of them. She had been trained ever since she had been apart of the resistance camp. Most of the time she was either training or working out stratigies to destroy Daemons and free slaves. But not today.
Today Tyrson had found out some important but bad information and she was quickly making her way to the captain. Finally she spotted the capain talking to a few officials. She made her way toward them.
"Captain, Captain I have something very important to tell you its urgent." Tyrson said.
"Yes speak" replied the captain.
"Its Chris he's not who we think he is. He is a spy for the Daemon and has been giving him information about us" Tyrson said urgently. Chris was a soldier in the resistance and was a relativly good fighter. Tyrson never really noticed it before now but he didn't really fight the Daemons he just looked like it. Tyrson had been up one night because she couldn't sleep and saw Chris sneaking out of camp. She followed him for a ways and ended up seeing him give some papers to a group of Daemons. She quickly raced back to camp but not before he saw her. When she got back she went to her tent and pretended to be asleep.
The next morning she went straight to the captain.
"What are you sure?" asked the captain worridly. Tyrson nodded and told him what she saw. The two and some soldiers quickly made their way to Chris's tent. When they looked inside he wasn't there and stuff was scatterd about showing an abrubt departure. The captain ordered the soldiers to search the camp for any trace of him. 'Its to late" thought Tyrson "he probably left last night. What a coward he can't even face what he started'
Tyrson then rushed back to her tent and grabbed some water. Then she left camp and started her hike to where she had seen Chris give the Daemons the files. Too enraged in her fury she didn't look at her surroundings or where she was heading.
END OF FLASHBACK
She had been walking around for hours. The sun was setting and she had no where to find shelter. Tyrson cursed again and eventhough she hated to admit it she had gotted herself lost and couldn't find her way back to camp.
Not that it mattered anyway the camp probably moved so the Daemons couldn't find them. Even if someone noticed her disappearance she was considered a lost cause. She was officially on her own. Tyrson groaned and then continued her walk across the desserst.
Nick stopped, wiped the sweat from his head and resumed walking. He had been walking for the whole day and he was starting to miss the rain from the forest. Nick hoped that he was going the right way he had an idea but had no way to be sure. He had followed the suns movements and kept moving north.
Thats all he knew, the place he was headed was north and he didn't really know if it even exhisted. But he had no where else to go and he had to keep this crystal out of Daemon hands.
Nick rubbed his eyes and squinted ahead. It looked like there was some sort of old metal debris. He continued walking toward it and realized that it was part of a destroyed truck. Most technology including transportation except walking was destroyed when the Daemons came. It was big and flipped over so it formed a sort of shelter. Nick scanned it and decided that this was as good of a place as any to rest. So he got down and went under the truck and laid down. Just as he was about to fall asleep he heard something outside. Deciding to check it out he jumped out and saw a girl there.
Tyrson was dead tired. She may be trained to fight but now she felt like she could collapse right then. Suddenly she spotted something in the distance. At first she thought that it was an illusion but as she continued walking towards it, it became more clear. When she finally made it to the object it looked like rubble. She was looking it over when a boy jumped out from under it. Instantly Tyrson went into a fighting stance prepared for anything but when she got a good look of the boy he looked harmless. She looked him over he had dirty clothes and he had short light brown hair that fell into his eyes. He looked to be about 18 and was 5'8.
While Tyrson was looking him over he was doing the same to her.
She looked about the same age was him and had brown hair with natural highlights that went to a little past her shoulder. She was a little shorter than him but had a fighter's stance and she was pretty in his opinion.
"Who are you?" she asked interupting his thinking.
"Nick and you are? he replied "Tyrson now what are you doing out here? she asked not to polietly.
"I could ask you the same thing" Nick replied.
"What side are you on of the war?" Tyrson asked inquiringly.
"I fight for humans and Earth you?
"Same I got seperated from my resistance troops and have been wandering the desert ever since"
"Well my neigborhood got raided and now I'm on a mission to get somewhere but I was just trying to rest"
"Where are you going?" Tyrson asked she looked interested. "I ran into some Daemons and used to read about this ancient place which I don't have and exact location of but I'm heading north"
"I'm going north too. Some other resistance camps should be somewhere up there and I hope to join." Nick seemed to think for a moment and them replied.
"Well it is better to travel in groups so do you want to go north together" He inquired. She thought about it a moment and looked Nick over again. 'Well I doubt it would really do any harm and I could always take him in an emergency and plus I need to rest somewhere and he has this old rubble piece'
Tyrson offered one of her rare smiles "Sure its better to travel in company"
"Great partners? he smiled. She personally thought she didn't need help but whatever.
"Partners" Tyrson replied and the two shook hands. They crawled under the truck and got their much needed
rest.
