Huff Huff Huff

'Told ya she would make us work like dogs, seriously Hazel? swords and bows?'

Hazel rolled her eyes.

'Do you have guns?'

'Uh no'

'Then this will have to do'

'Hazel are you trying to kill us by making us work?'

'Humph, what time is it?'

'Its....HOLY MOTHER OF PIGEONS!!!ITS BEEN 4 HOURS??!'

'Woah it seemed like one hour and what does holy mother of pigeons mean....you know what, forget it, I don't wanna know, its a break go and rest ya lazy'

Leo looked at her retreating figure, horrified, 'One hour?' he asked the others.

The other shook their heads, one guy mutters ' lets go back or else she will amke us run a marathon' the onlookers laughed as they scattered. Hazel had chosen 20 among 46 people as warriors.

Inside the cabin Hazel's expression changed from freshness to weariness and sadness, for the sake of others, she pretended to be strong, but only she knew what she was thinking, the thought of the journey and her mothers face kept flashing in her mind. The thought that everyone was depending on her strength was seriously heavy. she couldn't sleep, thinking of all the people she had let down in the past, she sighed, trying to forget old memories was a pain, she couldn't sleep the whole night thinking about her life.

But sleep is never to be denied, she faded into sleep with her mind flashing with screams.

'Hazel...…..HAZEL!!!!!!!'

'NO NO NO NO NOO!' Her dad screamed. 'Don't leave me like this...…..Don't'

'Hey, you're okay...….it's gone now'

'SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!'

Hazel woke up in cold sweat. she sighed and wiped her forehead, it was dark outside.

Her past was disturbing, by past it means the 4 years of her life from when she was 10, she got up and went outside, the place was deserted, not a soul in sight, she sat by the extinguished campfire.

She smiled as she remembered her mothers radiant smile, Leo came up behind her.

'HOLY!...….Leo....gosh yo are a ghost'
