Chapter 9
"What do you mean 'who's Raven?' you are!" Terri said
At that moment two of Terri's friends came in: Jake and Hero.
Hero had really long black hair in a pony tail, with uneven bangs in his face. He had torn black pants and a black vest that he wore open. His real name wasn't Hero, that's just what everyone called him, his real name he would keep secret to the grave.
Jake had shoulder length blond hair he always had a red and black bandana on. He wore long green pants and no shirt at all.
"Were glad you're awake Terri" Jake said "but we really need your help right now"
"What's going on?" Terri asked not feeling better but if they needed him he was there.
"You know there was a war in the north right?" Hero asked
"Yeah, so?"
"Well theres-"Jake was interrupted by Hero
"There's no room for neutrals, and the Zaninains-(race of people) are coming here, and demanding all young able men fight for them, they aren't bad, so they wont hurt our women, but the council thinks all the guys who don't want to fight should run, every ones divided, most want to stay, only a few want to leave."
"And you? What do you want to do?" Terri asked them
"leaving, the Zaninains are fighting a losing battle, im not throwing my life away for something I don't believe in." Hero said
"Me nether, I m not staying, three of our other guys feel the same." Said Jake.
"Well, we had better get packed; I won't abandon our group for anything. Even if everyone else stays" Terri said and got out of bed.
Raven looked at him, he was so familure, and he saved her, now he was running? It didn't seem right.
"Why? Will you leave everyone who cares for you? How do you know they really will care for us, the children and the women? Can you take the chance?" she asked
Terri looked at her. She was making this harder than it was supposed to be. His group was a loner type. They helped for a while then left when times called for it. They had gone from many homes in his time. He cared only for himself and the group.
"Will you leave me? I don't even know my name, but I can fight!" Raven said
"Listen, your name is Raven, that's what you told me that's what you will go by. As for your fighting, well… Hero fight her."
"What?" He asked
You beat her we knock some sense into her she wins she joins us, and don't hold back because she's a girl." Terri whispered.
They both fought hard but Raven instinctively found Hero weak spot, but hero couldn't find hers, why? She didn't even know it. Yet. Pinning Hero for the count, winning the match.
She was panting heavily, for a while that was the only noise, and then they heard clapping.
It was Terri "well done. Congrats, you're the latest victim to join the night squad. And you know what else? Your coming with us."
