(A/N - Here is the next chapter.)
(Memory - Jack - Age : 7)
This is from a time when I was 7 years old, when strangers tried taking my temporary home.
"I think this hollow's a good place to stay." A stranger said.
"Uhh!" I said, really scared of the voices I was hearing.
I ran to my hiding place and hid in there.
While in there, I peaked to see the stranger who was walking into my room.
"What is this? A kid's room? What the hell-is this someone else's hollow?" The stranger said with an angered tone.
Then he looked over at where I was.
I let out a yelp and quickly closed the lid and stopped peeking.
I tried to be as silent as I could.
"What have we got here? A kid in a box? Are you fricking joking?" The stranger said.
I saw a knife poke through, almost touching my stomach.
I instantly backed away a little.
He lifted the lid and looked at me.
"Play time's over, kid." He said, then held his knife up.
"No!" I said, then I heard Nyra yell and she threw a chain at the stranger's neck, then pulled back.
He let out choking sounds.
"AUGH! LET... GO! N-N... NOW! AUG-" He managed to say before he stopped speaking and creaked, then collapsed.
Nyra looked down at him with a murderous look, then at me.
I looked at her in shock.
She ran to me and held me in her arms.
"Thank goodness you're okay." She said.
"Mother, I'm scared." I said.
"They're gone now. I won't let anyone hurt you." She said, rubbing my back.

I peeked at the members of the Parliament Chamber.
"Boron, what do you think of that newcomer and his friend?" Bubo asked.
Boron looked up at the light for a second.
"He seems weird. No one has ever turned their backs on the Pure Ones and joined us before. And his friend seems like he's capable." Boron answered.
"Capable of what?" Strix Struma asked.
"Capable of being a fighter." Boron said.
Then Allomere nodded at Boron, then turned his head to me.
I quickly moved away from his sight.
I tried to stay silent.
"Jack?" Otulissa said.
I quickly turned around and saw her looking at me.
"Holy Glaux. You scared me, what are you doing here?" I whispered.
"Why are you spying on them?" She asked.
"Not here, let's move." I said, flying away, her following.
We landed at an area no one was around.
"What are we doing here?" Otulissa asked.
"I was trying to listen in to what they were saying. I'm not gonna turn y'all. I swear to Glaux. I'm not bad!" I said.
"Hm." She said. "Does Boron know of Dave being here?"
"Yes. Dave is gonna train here with other owls to be a soldier." I said.
"Are you signing for a chaw anytime soon?" Otulissa asked.
"Yeah. Ga'hoolology." I said.
(A/N - I didn't know how to spell that word. Sorry if it's misspelled.)
"See ya." I said, then flew away.
"Wait! I'm not done!" She said.
"No time, gotta run!" I said to her, then continued heading away.
The same owl from the food area was frowning at me.
I frowned back at him.
As I flew back to the Parliament Chamber, I thought : What if I get framed?
"Impossible." I said, then landed.
"Your Majesty, this is no time for half measures." Allomere said. "We must hit them hard."
"Bubo, sharpen the battle claws. To arms." I heard Boron say.
"This meeting is adjourned." Barran said, then hit the wooden plate where her rock was on her hand.
The owls started leaving.
I hid again from anyone's sight.
"Where in Glaux a meeting ends like that, I don't know." I said.
"Ahem!" I heard Ezylyrb say.
"Ezylyrb!" I said.
"I could use your help with something. Come here." He said.
"Okay." I said, then followed him to another hollow.
"I need you to deliver this cage full of dead rats and take it to the butcher." Ezylyrb said, gesturing to a big cage of dead rats that looked like they were alive earlier.
"That thing? Sure." I said, walking to it.
I picked up the cage by the handle and flew out.
Bad thing was : It was super heavy.
I strained and struggled while holding the cage.
The food area was a little far from me.
"Hi Jack! Why are you holding a load like that?" Digger asked from a distance.
"I can't talk right now! I'm sorry!" I called out to Digger, trying not to drop the cage.
After a little while, I finally made it to the butcher.
Once at a safe distance from the ground which was a centimeter, I finally dropped the cage.
"HOHHHH!" I said in relief, then fell back.
"Well done, kid. Good job." The Butcher said.
I fainted.
I woke up to see Otulissa looking at me.
"Hi there, Jack." She said.
"Otulissa? How long have I been asleep?" I asked.
"7 minutes." She said.
"Crap!" I said, getting up and running to the exit.
"Be careful out there. The Guardians are heading to the Pure Ones." Otulissa said.
"I know. I heard what they were gonna do." I said.
I flew out of the hollow and to the Armory.
There were some Guardians left, grabbing Armor. Dave was there too.
"Thank goodness." I said, then grabbed battle claws, and a sword.
"You ready, Dave?" I asked.
"Yep yep." He said. "Let's rock."
Us Guardians left and headed for battle.
