Sorry guys this is probably a crappy chapter because I had writers block with this chapter. But I know that it is still way to early in the fan fiction but I wanna do a Q and A thing for my characters so put the characters name you want to ask and the question you want to ask them in the comments/reviews and I will get going on that Q and A once I get enough questions. Your free to ask as many questions as you want for each character or myself I won't answer any personal questions though. But anyways heres this month's crappy chapter.

Marko woke with a start, dripping with a cold sweat, and with a pounding headache. The sun wasn't even rising when he woke and there was mist from the rains during the night. Nobody was awake yet and he quietly rose and walked over to where everyone slumbered. Everyone, including Marko, was using their packs as pillows but were spread out. Blaze was asleep on the floor with Fell up against her, Gale was snoring in a corner curled into a ball, Angel was using her cloak as a sort of sleeping bag with Haven resting her neck on her helping to keep her partner warm, and Leo was asleep in a chair with Renegade standing up like a horse sleeping. Marko had slept on a mound of hay with Apocalypse in passive form.

He looked around at all of them and sighed in relief that they were safe. Fell's ears perked up as he heard his sigh and picked his head up and looked at Marko. Marko jumped in surprise seeing the wolf moving against the moonlight then its blazing yellow eyes seeming as they were piercing through his skin and looking at his soul.

Fell huffed at him then laid back down with his head on Blaze's stomach. Marko silently tip toed down the stairs and there was the occasional creak of the stairs underneath his feet. He could hear the chirping of crickets outside. He then rolled up his sleeve up to his shoulder, a crocodile tattoo was wound around his arm with the jaws of the beast opened and at his wrist, and the tail of the beasts tattoo ran off onto his collar bone. In a flash of light the crocodile appeared before Marko as the tattoo disappeared.

The crocodile blinked then let opened its grand jaws to yawn and immediately closed them right after. Marko bent down next to the crocodile and looked at him in the eyes as he spoke,

"What was that thing Apocalypse?"

The crocodile just made a groaning sound and straightened itself up. Then he saw some sort of dark shape dive at him and he flinched and tries to cover his head but the thing never attacked. He opened his eyes and saw Lady Sara infront of him with her bat hanging from her outstretched arm.

"L-lady Sara, what are you doing up so late?" Marko stammered as he stood up. "I should be asking you the same thing." Lady Sara said as she gave Echo a piece of fruit.

"I um..." Marko looked at Apocalypse.

"You had a nightmare I presume? It felt real did it not?"

"It did...everyone was...and the giant black ooze monster...and..." Marko felt arms wrap around him and he looked up to see the old woman hugging him.

"Everything is going to be ok, Marko. It was a prophecy so you at least know what is going to happen."

Marko sighed and nodded "Thank you, Lady Sara." She then released "You should get to bed, you have a long journey in the morning." Marko bent down and pet the crocodile on the snout as he looked up at the sky. Purples, oranges, yellows, pinks, and reds had begun to appear in the sky as the giant fiery plasma ball we call our sun began to rise.

"I'm sorry you couldn't walk around a lot boy."

The reptile hissed in response and Marko stood up and held out his arm and with a flash of light the crocodile was coiled around his right arm again.

It was early morning when they began their journey again, Firnen was able to do everything he normally does but not at top performance like he normally does. Lady Sara surprised everyone and came with them. The whole team was exhausted and sore from the battle yesterday. But they kept moving in their usual formation; Firnen and Frost in the front next to Lady Sara and Echo, Angel and Leo next with Renegade and Haven next to them, Gale and Marko behind them with Apocalypse in passive form and Shuriken flying ahead scoping out the area, and Blaze and Fell alone in the back. Fell would occasionally go out into the woods to explore and hunt, but other than that they were inseparable.

They were heading to the town of Aramoor. It was an isolated town in the West side of Amaya. It would take two days to get there and they would have to make camp at night. They traveled almost non-stop the whole day, only stopping to eat or for Lady Sara to rest. They didn't run into any trouble either which seemed suspicious to Gale. He thought that there would be trouble everywhere they go but there wasn't. Gale knew Amaya and it was never this quiet in the woods EVER.

That's when he heard a bird cry from above, he knew that cry after hearing it once they were about to get attacked again.

"Everyone weapons out!" Gale screeched just as a pack of coyotes started to surround them on all sides. Everyone drew their weapons and formed a circle around Lady Sara to help protect her. Then in a fury of weapons, tooth, claw, and fur everyone tried to fend off all the coyotes. You would have thought with all their giant animals the pack would have stayed far away but nope!

"These things are dumber than they look" Gale laughed

"Not the time for jokes, Gale!" Leo splurged as he knocked a coyote to the ground with the non sharp edge of his axe. Lady Sara had taken out her club and joined in the fight "I may be old and blind but this grandma still has some kick in her." She said as she bonked a coyote on the head with her club. Everyone glanced at her surprised at how an old lady could move with such agility.

The coyotes whimpered and whined as they kept getting wacked and eventually retreated back into the woods limping a little. "I guess she cam really handle herself." Angel said as she put her whip back on her belt. "Indeed I can and it's all thanks to Echo." Sara gave a weak old lady smile "Now just let me rest a little and we can get moving again." She said as she wearily sat down on a tree stump.

It was dark, the stars were twinkling, the silver moon in a crescent shape high in the sky. All of them were exhausted from 2 days of traveling and 2 fights. But they all helped to set up the camp, even Lady Sara who used her bats echolocation skills to help find sticks for the fire. Firnen started the fire, Marko and Blaze gathered firewood, Leo and Gale set up the tents, and Angel put everything up in the tents. They all then sat around the fire and ate their jerky and meat cakes in silence. In a flash Apocalypse was out of passive form and next to Marko. Fell and Blaze were a little ways away from the group with Fell curled around her. Gale was next to Marko with Shuriken a loft in the sky. Angel was sitting next to Leo with Haven behind her laying down and her head on the ground next to Angel's side. Renegade was laying down beside Leo. Lady Sara and Firnen were next to eachother and Frost was curled up in Firnen's lap, Echo was a loft with Shuriken.

"So who's sleeping with who?" Gale asked, breaking the silence of the night.

"We are gonna take turns with watch shifts. I will take the first." Firnen said

"I don't care who I sleep with as long as it's not with miss Stetriol over there." Leo said as he crossed his arms and scoffed. "I agree." Angel added.

"Leo! Angel!" Firnen snapped and started lecturing them.

Marko looked at Blaze with a sad look as she seemed to shrink up into a ball with her knees to her chest and her head buried into her knees. Fell was bearing his teeth and growling at Angel and Leo with his hackles raised.

"I-i'll sleep in the tent with her..." Marko said as he gave Blaze a shy smile. Everyone looked at Marko except for Lady Sara.

Gale stood up and gave a cocky smile "Then it's settled, I'll sleep with Leo, so it won't be awkward, and Angel can sleep with Lady Sara." Gale said as he stretched and yawned. "Now if you'll excuse me in gonna hit the hay," he then proceeded to walk into one if the tents.

Everyone was in their tents, except Firnen and Frost since they were keeping watch. Marko was turned the opposite way with Apocalypse in passive form. Fell was inbetween them laying down. They sat there in silence and couldn't see eachother in the account of Fell's massive head.

"I'm sorry they are mean to you" Marko said breaking the silence.

"It's ok," Blaze quietly said

"Hey can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"Are you ever scared?"

"Of course I am, nobody from Stetriol has ever been outside of the country"

"Not like that"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Like the fear of not being good enough?"

"Trust me... I've had that fear plenty."

"Me too"

There was about 5 minutes of awkward silence.

"Hey, Blaze?"

There was no answer just the sound of light breathing and he rolled onto his back and looked up at the tent. "Good night Blaze."
