The Renegade
Chapter 2
Come on, trust yourself on this. You know you can do it. This is what Truence would want you to do.
What? Get killed? There's too many of them…
I clung to the rough stones just above my cave. My home… I corrected myself as I steadily worked my way towards the mouth. I kept creeping down until I reached the small lip directly over the opening of my home. This shelf was perfect; just far out enough for me to fit and just steep enough for me to be out of sight to anyone below me. I tuned into their conversation as hard as I could. I could hear some of the 'invaders' but couldn't tell exactly where or how many there were.
"I'm telling you, I heard something." I heard one of them say. Oh, no…
Hey, don't worry about it; there is no way they could stand up to you. They're afraid of you.
Try the other way around. I don't know who'd wet themselves first, them or me!
I tilted my head so I could really hear them. I jumped as I heard one; she was so close, right under me. I could feel her gaze.
Oh, God, I can't do this.
Yes, you can. She's just a little girl, maybe… 12ish.
Yeah, but there are others with her…
I stopped everything, even breathing. I smiled.
Perfect.
Told ya, you could do it.
Author's Note: Yet another cliffhanger! I'm sorry but I simply love suspense! Although, I didn't plan on having this story be very suspenseful, I may have to change the genre. Sorry for that, too. Anyway, the next chapter should be coming very soon!
