Note: Hiya! I don't have anything to say today (Dru: Thank you! Hdogg: Buzz it or I'll make you…get run over by Mo! Dru stares blankly at Hdogg:…you're a baka and an insane writer… Hdogg: Thank you!) so on with the show! Erm, Dru if you ever read this story, I would love to know that! BTW, please tell me how I'm doing!
Disclaimer: I ALWAYS forget this thing. Quite sorry. I DO NOT OWN DIABLO TWO AND BASICIALLY EVERYTHING IN THIS STORY. Except of course myself. ^_~ I'm also own the Midnight Stalkers cause I made them up off the top of my head.
Onward to Victory!

I woke up before everyone else on the fifth day we were stuck here in this supernatural world. I rolled over onto my back and stared up at the beautiful crisp, blue sky. Larry was snoring to my right. He sounded like a cannon in a war. 'How annoying' I thought, while Dan was getting up.
I sighed and stood up. "Buenos Dais, Dan." I said to the paladin who was waking up the rest of the gang. He poked Aly with his sword to get her up.
She glared at Dan and said, "Poke me again and I'll shove that pretty sword down your throat." Dan backed away and woke up Jen and Stu by shaking them.
"Jolly good morning chaps, wot?" Said Stuart stretching and going off to prepare us breakfast. Jen was half awake as she staggered over to me.
"Hiya. How long have you been up?" She asked pleasantly as she sat down next to me.
"Oh, a few minutes or two." I replied watching Dan pour ice, cold water onto Larry.
"WHOA! What the hell just happened?" Roared the muscular blonde. Dan quickly threw the pail over to me and said that nothing had happened. "Then why am I wet?"
Dan smiled and said, "Who knows?" Then he very cautiously went to wake up Mo which was a disaster waiting to happen.
"He's gonna get it." Jen wisphered in my ear. I nodded in reply. I noticed that Mo had "burrowed" Dan's shield for a pillow. She was sleeping with an evil little smile on her small face.
"Mischievous little twit." Jen and I heard him mutter. Larry had disappeared to find dry clothes, still wondering what had happened to him. Dan very carefully shook Mo. After a few attempts at that, he gave up when he saw no results. He gulped and used the method he had used for Larry on her. Mo woke up with a start and was growling like a mad hound. Unfortunately for Dan, Mo was a bit quicker in thinking then Larry.
"YOU LITTLE BEAST!" She yelled at him and checked her watch. "IT'S SIX AM IN THE FREAKING MORNING! HOW DARE YOU WAKE ME UP AT THIS UNGODLY HOUR!" She roared as a fireball sprang in her hand.
"Um, yes, well," Gulped Dan as he slowly backed away from the steaming girl. Mo glared at him and banished the fireball. Dan let out a sigh of relief when his shield hit him in the head. CLANG! He dropped like a rock as Mo growled, "That's what you get for waking me up at an ungodly hour, boy." She stormed off towards Charsi to retrieve her weapons.
While Dan was out cold, Jen and I took a walk around the camp. I asked her, "How do you stand moving all the time with your mom in the Air Force?"
She shrugged, her bright green eyes looked distant. As if she were some where else. "I don't know. It's a part of my life." I sighed. It was hard to talk to Jenny at times. She was taciturn usually. She almost always had her nose stuck in a book.
I looked up towards the sky. Clouds formed and deformed. Always moving, 'Kinda like Jen…' I thought to myself. Jen and I had always been friends but in the last few days I felt as if we had become closer then ever before.
"Dru?" She stopped and leaned against a tree. "What's your life like?"
"Umm," Her question took me off guard. "I grew up in New York all my life, like I told ya before." I sat down and leaned my back against the tree Jen was leaning against. "I went a public grade school and I'm a junior at Park Side View High School."
"Were you ever in a gang?"
I stumbled over my words in my head. Trying to find the right ones. "Well, I…I am..." Memories swarmed in my head. Late nights out in the streets with guns and drugs. I felt Jen's eyes on my back as I looked at my pocket knife. I felt ashamed of the fact now. "I'm part of the Midnight Stalkers." The Midnight Stalkers was a notorious gang in Manhattan that caused much mayhem in the dead of the night.
Jen was silent for a moment and asked me quietly, "Why did you join the gang, Dru?" A loud crash came from across the camp accompanied by loud bangs. "Uh oh." Wisphered Jen as she hurried to see what had happened. I slowly got to my feet and looked up towards the sky again. The clouds were thickening into dark rain clouds. I looked away and hurried off towards Jen.
When I arrived Mo was throwing various things at a small army of rotting Zombies that had penetrated into the camp. Aly was slicing and dicing the rotting corpses with a lance. A small army of four skeletons was attacking also with Stuart commanding them. Dan and Larry were fighting back to back to protect Mo while she threw fireballs, ice bolts, and other things at the attacking monsters.
I quickly summoned two wolves and three ravens to fight with me. "Attack my friends!" We all charged at the attacking horde of beasts. "DDDIIIEEE!!" I yelled hacking at the zombies. The rouges of the camp were helping us with back up fire with their bows. I saw Jenny kicking and punching zombies if they came to close to her. She charged at them and killed several at once. Her battle spirit strengthened mine and I fought harder then I had ever before.
I hadn't noticed until it was to late. I was surrounded by the flesh eating corpses. My animals friends were fighting valiantly to reach me and protect me but failed. I looked fiercely at zombies sounding me. There was no way out. "ONWARD TO VICTORY! DIE YOU FIENDS!" I yelled at the zombies before I charged straight into them. Their rotting hands grabbed at my flesh trying to draw me into their grasps. Slashing with my short sword and bashing with my shield, I kept them at bay for awhile.
Jenny had heard my battle cry and was attacking the rotting beasts to get to me. "Hang in there, Dru!" She yelled over the battle sounds. Rotting figure nails dung in my skin like nails. I screamed out in pain as a zombie clawed at my back. I felt my knees weakening under the strain of trying to hold up my body. 'I must fight. I must protect my friends. I must protect Jenny.' I thought to myself. I raised my sword and cut off the arm of a zombie and whirled around and slashed at another one. I stumbled and fell over hitting my all ready battered face on a sharp rock. It dung into my cheek. I heard footsteps next to me. I tried to lift my arms to protect myself but I couldn't raise even a figure to right back. I looked about me. I saw the bodies of the walking dead lying all about me, oozing green, and rotting blood into the ground. I felt my own blood slowly seeping out of me in different areas. The sounds of the battle faded away into nothing. All had ceased as the last zombie was disposed of. Someone turned me over so I was facing Dan and Jenny. Jen looked so sad. I wondered why. Darkness started taking over my vision slowly. I closed my eyes and relaxed. I felt cool drops of water slowly fall onto my battered face. I wondered if it was tears or the rain. Thunder clashed out in the distance. I heard a small, sad voice calling out for me. Trying to call me back. I listened to it for a moment then everything fades into nothing…
~*~*~
This eventful day has turned into a sad one. Did Dru die or is just unconscious? Has Jen and Dru fallen into the trap of love? Questions will be asked and answers will be given to those who wait patiently for, Only time can tell in this tale of love.
Onward to Victory!
~*~*~
Note: **sniff** Poor Dru. Poor Jen at that fact. I feel like crying now. Why did I have to write such a sad chapter? **sniff** But isn't life cruel that way? It always takes the things you love most away from you. Sorry if this chapter was a bit short but ya know that's the way the ball bounces. I think Jenny is entitled for the next chapter of the story. It seems we're gonna be stuck in this dreadful rouge camp for a while more. Cain is just gonna have to wait. There's a new twist in the plot.
(Ya know I think listening to sad songs really doesn't help my story. ^_~)
