Hostage Crisis

The team took a short break from their dragon training runs for water and a snack.

Arrie disappeared into the bushes for a bio break, along with Ruby and Feifei.

A high-pitched whistle sounded.

"What was that Feif?" asked Ruby from behind a nearby tree.

"No idea, but we better take a look."

The two women had barely pulled their shorts up when they were grabbed from behind, encircled in a tight bear hug, their mouths covered. They were dragged back into the thick bush.

Arrie was a little further away.

"Feif, what was that whistle? Feif? Where are you? Rubes?"

Arrie walked over to where she had last seen the girls. That was weird, they were gone already. They usually waited for one another. She shrugged and started to make her way back to the training field.

An unknown soldier covered in mud like an evil mud man emerged from the bushes in front of her and Arrie screamed. Stupidly, she was unarmed.
