Tents

When we got back, to say the wagon looked worse then before... would be an understatement!?!?!

Now instead of only one wheel being badly damaged all of the wheels are on the floor and parts of the wagon are more cracked then before

Why don't we just walk at this point?

Clearly they can't fix a wagon...!

So just abandon it you idiots!?!?

Some of the knights were sitting a bit away from the wagon just laying down or talking

The only two knights still trying were pointlessly trying but failing at sticking the wheels into the area they were in before to have at least some of the carriage still together

Apart from the failure of a carriage I noticed that they already set up camp for the night which was kinda nice

I just walked over to the horses and laid down next to them as Hunter walked over to the two knights "trying" to fix the wagon and told them something

I don't know what he told them but he finally got them to stop their stupidity of trying to put the damn wheels back on

Then he walked over to the sitting knights and told them to do something as well

They all went off in different directions into the woods although some did stay together

Bored I looked at the horses next to me

Some are eating the grass below them while others were just in a laying type position with their heads down

For a moment I was almost about to try and have a conversation with them

But then I realized how sad that sounded and that that would be... Stupid!?!

THEY CANT EVEN UNDERSTAND ME!

Hell what if all I let out is a bark instead of words... that would be... weird

While I was busy thinking one of the horses started trying to eat the bark off a tree their lead was tied to

I instantly got a bit weirded out

Why, why do you do this

I stared at the horse perplexed for a moment

That's when I decided I didn't want to be there anymore

NOPE.

I cant do it the horse life just isn't for me! Sorry horses you fun to ride horrible to live with...

I went towards the wagon and saw the little kid still laying in there

He looked kinda cute with the sun shining down on him

First of all HOW CAN THEY LEAVE A CHILD ALL ALONE and Second HOW THE FUCK IS HE STILL ASLEEP!?!?

I walked over to the wagon jumped up and stood right beside him

I slowly scooted my head under his body and got him onto my back to finally get him down from the wagon

Once he was on my back I froze one because he was on top of my scratches but mostly because

THE LITTLE MIGET DECIDED TO HUG ME!?!?

Deep breaths deep breaths

We do not throw kids off our back... breath in... that is not morally correct... exhale

I slowly jumped off the wagon and headed over to the little fort thing the knights made...

It's not completely trash that's... good

You could still see out side because of there only being two wall like things but it looks like it would protect people from rain and snow if it did

I set the kid down on one of the little mat like things the guys made

I didn't know they could actually make stuff like this

I stare at the asleep boy in a daze finally trying to get a good feel for what he looked like

His blond hair is messy and his bangs are flipped over one of his eyes hiding it from view

He has a lot of small scars put together in places making them look all like one scar but if you look closely you can tell their all different

None of the scars are bad scars though none of them should have hurt to much though you defiantly would have felt them

The kid is clearly on the malnourished side... he reminds me of one of my close friend in that aspect

From the noise coming from him and the wet area below his mouth He's obviously snoring and drooling

He keeps shifting his position like after a million shifts he'll finally find the perfect position to stay still in

He looks kinda funny looking... weird but funny

I wonder what would have happened if I had kids...

I used to try and picture myself being a parent but I was always scared if I had a kid I might not be able to raise him the way I should

My old friend once told me something when I told her about those worries... she said 'I haven't met one perfect parent, there is no perfect way to raise any kid cause there is no way to protect them from the world and yourself while also preparing them for the real world. Every kid is different just like every parent is different as long as you try to give that kid you raise the best life you can give them, you wouldn't have failed cause you tried your best and that is all you can possibly do'

She made me almost finally choose to have kids but then... ugh never mind

I stare at him for a few moments before slowly walking outside to leave him alone

Outside all you can see are tents and trees it's almost as if everything was deserted

No ones has come back from whatever their doing yet, which is reasonable for the fact that they only left about ten minutes ago though I guess

Somehow I manage to sigh as I stroll away from the little forts the knights made

I walk up to a tree not far from the tents and decide to take another nap to clear my head

———————————————

I wake up a few hours later

The sun is gone and a full moon has replaced it shining brightly like the sun down on us

I can hear some of the knights talking and the tents are lit up by some sort of light

You can see the shadows of all of them from the side of the tent looking all relaxed and happy

I just looked up at the sky while listening to the laughing

Weird how they can always be laughing like that...

They seem so calm yet when they first got here and found us they seemed somewhat scared...

Weird

Maybe their just momentarily forgetting everything else that's happened and will happen... well don't know

'Who cares anyway' I thought while looking over at their shadows forming from the side of the tent 'they seem happy at the moment so I guess that's better then worrying about what's gonna come when we go to wherever they're from

I just stared at their figures moving against the tent for a few minutes before I started to feel it drizzling

rain

It slowly became heavier rain but nothing to bad so I just stayed outside thinking

I thought about everything that led up to my death for the first time in a long time

Running through my memories like an old tape recorder replaying blurry images over and over again
