Chapter 2- What would you be?
As the bright sun rose over the camp Rebecca woke early to practice her skill with the bow and arrow. This act was very unlike Rebecca who always believed more strongly in her abilities than anyone else. As she walked to the training area she Erk asleep by the camp fire. She crept un-intentionally behind him.
"Erk?" as she said this he turned quickly and held a fireball high in the air. Rebecca stumbled backward and landed on the floor. "Sorry I just wanted to know what was up." Erk unlit the fireball in his hand and offered it to Rebecca. She took the mages hand and stood up.
"I'm sorry, I was watching the camp and must have fallen asleep, you startled me, I thought you were the priestess." Rebecca raised her eyebrow.
"You had a fireball prepared for Serra?" Erk blushed a deep red.
"N-no I just meant I was startled and you know Ser-the priestess, is usually the one who makes me nervous…by startling…me," Rebecca walked past the mage and waved her hand.
"I get it you like Serra." As she left he looked back at her.
"No I…don't."
When Rebecca reached the training area she took out her bow and fired arrows at the target in front of her. As she fired numerous arrows she lost track of time and eventually someone began to fire arrows at the target next to her. She turned to see Wil.
"Hey Rebecca." Wil greeted his friend while he shot his arrows at the target.
"Hey"
"What's up?"
"Nothing." Wil could tell something was wrong with Rebecca, she was normally a fun happy girl but today she seemed to be different. She seemed colder.
"Is something wrong."
"No"
"You sure?"
"Yes"
"Really?" Rebecca's arrow pierced threw Wil's on his target.
"I'm sure, leave me alone." Rebecca took her bow and left the training area. Wil watched as she returned to her ten. When Rebecca had returned to her tent she threw her bow on the ground and leapt onto her bed.
"Why am I so mad over…him?"
Florina skipped along the camp to meet her old friend Lyn. The two had decided to go to the nearest town and get some supplies for the camp. When she saw Lyn over the horizon she began to run toward her friend and then abruptly stopped. What she saw had frightened her more than anything. There with Lyn was Hector. The man who'd she'd seen the day before completely…you know. She slowly walked up beside Lyn.
"Hey Lyn."
"Oh hey Florina, Hector said he'd come with us to town so it's easier for us to carry more stuff." Florina was mortified how could she do that? Walk an hour there, get stuff for an hour, and then walk an hour back, all with a man who'd she'd seen completely…you know. Lyn noticed her face of horror.
"What's wrong?"
"Who's wrong? I'm not wrong! Let's go to town!" Florina got onto her horse and started off. Lyn watched her leaving and quickly followed after her on her horse. Lyn pulled up beside who was still in a tizzy.
"Florina what's up?" Florina looked at her friend then behind her to Hector, she decided he was far enough so he couldn't hear her.
"Why'd you invite Hector?" she asked Lyn.
"I didn't he offered to come."
"You shouldn't of."
"Why not Florina?'"
"Because…" Florina stopped speaking and started blankly ahead.
"Because what?" asked Lyn now intrigued by her friends nervousness.
"Because yesterday I was lost in the woods right."
"Right…"
"So I was all like 'Hello? Hello is anyone there?' and then I heard him"
"Hector?"
"Right so I was like 'oh thank god it's…' and then I saw it?" Florina stopped again and looked into space.
"Saw what?" Lyn asked Florina the question but received no answer. "Hello Florina?"
"When I got there he was bathing and I saw his…you know."
"His what?" Lyn at first didn't get it then it hit her like a brick, " You saw his thingy!" Lyn began to laugh like she'd never heard a joke before in her life. "Was it…you know…big?" Florina turned a deep crimson color. Any passerby could've mistaken her for a tomato.
"I don't know, listen can we just hurry up and get the supplies then get back? Please?" Lyn nodded her head.
"Sure, sure don't worry all we need are…" Lyn looked over her list "Cloths for the healer's, sharpening of the weapon's," Lyn touched the weapon's tied beside her "and big nuts." Florina turned even redder.
"SHUT UP!"
Rebecca exited the tent and went to the campfire which was now unlit because it was day. She sat down beside Serra, who was at the moment talking to Nino.
"So Nino, if you were an fruit what fruit would you be?"
"What kind of question is that?" the female mage knew Serra could be dumb but this was absolutely retarded.
"Just answer the question!"
"Fine I'd be umm…" Nino stopped and looked around her, "I'd be an orange, because they're tough on the outside but delicious on the inside.
Serra gave her the oddest look. "What the heck kind of answer is that? Some oranges taste nasty."
Rebecca looked forward and saw Wil sit in front of her. Behind him came Raven who sat across from her also.
"So Rebecca did you practice more like I said you should do? You know you're shot's aren't exactly perfect." Raven's attitude toward her enraged her. But she managed to stifle it.
"No I don't need to practice I'm great already." Raven scoffed and went to walk to Sain and Kent. Serra turned to Rebecca.
"What about you Rebeccy what fruit would you be?" Rebecca looked at her funny.
"What kind of question is that?"
"Thank you!" Serra hit Nino upside her head.
"Shut up Nino, let her answer, so Rebeccy what would you be?" Rebecca looked forward at Raven talking to Sain and Kent. The three men began to laugh.
"I'd be a banana, because I could sneak under someone's foot and slip them then they'd fall into a ravine and I'd shot arrows down into it and light a fire, and throw something explosive down after them." Nino looked at Rebecca like she was crazy. Rebecca looked back at Nino and saw her face. Then stood off and walked off.
"Can you believe that?" asked Nino to Serra.
"See! That was an answer!"
