Chapter 12

Piper burst through the doors of the fort, her attention still on the tree house.

The sudden commotion caused Harrier to look up to see a distressed Piper.

"P-P-Piper what are you...h-how did you get here?" cried out Harrier as he lay on his side, clutching his rib cage.

Piper ignored his cry and proceeded towards the remains of the tree house.

A couple of seconds later Dez, Junko and Finn appeared.

"Whoa...looks like we have a live one" announced Dez as he rushed to Harrier's side.

"S-S-Starling..." moaned Harrier as Dez reached him.

"Alright mate I need you to stay still so I can check what's wrong" Dez ignored what Harrier said as he rolled Harrier on to his back, this caused Harrier to cry out in pain.

"Do you know what you're doing Dez? If not are you sure you should be doing that?" asked Junko who was scoping the area for more injured.

Dez glanced at Junko before looking back at Harrier.

"I'll take that as a yes" said Finn with his arms crossed.

Up at the tree house

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Piper skipped every second stair as she ran up the stairs.

"Don't worry Aerrow, I'm coming" thought Piper as she reached the top of the stairs.

Piper walked towards the doorway slowly.

She wished to see his blood red hair, his firm, textured body, his emerald eyes. She wished to turn that corner to find him standing there with arms wide open, waiting for her to come to him.

Oh how she wished for those to be true, but as soon as she turned that corner her wishes vanished at the sight of the place.

Piper stared directly forward noticing the body shaped hole where her poster's used to be, it was too thin to be Aerrow's.

Piper was about to let out a sigh of relief when she noticed the hole in the floor.

She walked towards it and looked down to see the green grass of Terra Neverlandis and what looked like a freshly pressed bit as if someone had recently landed or laid on it.

Piper placed her right hand over her mouth as she thought.

"Aerrow where are you?" thought Piper as she turned away from the hole.

Piper wasn't ready for what she saw, catching her off guard.

Starling was curled up in the corner, with her num-chucks ready and waiting to strike.

"Starling!" Piper ran towards the interceptor "Are you alright?" knelt down beside her.

"We...We were over run...we tried to stop them...but they overwhelmed us" stuttered Starling as she slowly got up.

"Starling you tried your hardest...me and Aerrow are very appreciative...wherever he is" Piper crossed her arms at the thought of her insecurity.

"What you're telling me he isn't with you?" Starling moved too quickly for her own good, feeling a sharp pain in her thigh.

Piper caught Starling as she stumbled "That's why we're here...apart from rescuing the injured" she carried Starling to the couch that had been shredded to bits.

"Who is with you then?" asked Starling as she slowly sat down on the chair.

"It's just me, Finn, Junko and you'll find this interesting a man called Dez, he says he used to be a part of the Interceptors, Do you know him?" asked Piper curiously.

Starling suddenly went pale "Dez? As in Dezmond 'Dez' Overton?" Starlings stare made Piper uneasy.

Piper nodded which caused Starling to look down at the ground.

Piper placed her hand on to Starling's shoulder "Is everything okay? What did Dez do?"

Starling took a deep breath before replying "Dez...Dez is dead...I watched him die by the hands of the Raptors 8 years ago" Starling placed her hands over her face as she thought of the event.
