  When he is done with his plate of food you ask, "do you still want to go for a walk?" He looks over to you with a look of surprise as if he wasn't expecting you to still be there. But you give him an expectant look. He shrugs his shoulders as if he couldn't care less but he follows you out the door into the hallway anyway. He walks quietly next you glancing one way and then another. You look at his face trying to read it but you get nothing. You try to think of something to ask him.
  
  Finally you come up with a question to ask him, "How did your mother die?" Admittedly it isn't a good question and it is probably a sensitive topic. You turn a corner to go outside towards the river. You don't think he is going to answer you, but when your reach the river he replies.
  
  "She was murdered when I was a little boy. My father was never around so I ended up raising myself pretty much." You quietly think about his answer. All of a sudden your best friend William comes out from behind a tree and stands in between you and Ash. You look up at William with a questioning glance.
  
  "What are you doing, what is going on?" You ask William.
  
  "What are you doing with him?" He asks you.
  
  "I was just talking with him." You state.
  
  "I was just talking with him. Yeah right!" He says slightly loud.
  
  "Dude! What is up with you?" You say right back,
  
  "You don't know him. You know know who he is or what he has done or anything. You shouldn't be around him." He says grabbing your arms kinda hard.
  
  "Ow! Let go of me. You are not the boss of me! I am my own person, you don't need to be telling me what to do!" You say with anger in your voice. William lets go of your arms. You look around for Ash but he seems to have disappeared. All of a sudden there are screams coming from the gathering place.
  
  > run Towards The Screaming
  You and William take off toward the gathering place. When you get there you see nothing except bodies littering the floor with arrows protruding from their bodies and blood pooling on the floor. You run to the front where the thrones are and on the floor you see both of your parents dead. William is giving you a second to mourn but he soon is tugging on your arm telling you that you need to leave.
  
  > leave with William
  You let William pull you up and quickly pull you away from your parents and the rest of the dead. With tears in your eyes you watch the gathering place get smaller and smaller until it finally disappears. You start to walk faster keeping your hand in Williams. You guys go for awhile until it is well into the night. William sits you down next to a tree resting your head against the trunk. You feel numb from the nights events. William is setting up camp around you. After everything is set up he takes your into the tent and tucks you into bed. He then goes out and sits outside the tent on guard and you fall into a sleep full of nightmares of your parents horrible deaths.
  
  > The Next Morning
  You wake up to the sound of arguing. You sit up quickly remembering the events of the day before. You find a brown deerskin backpack that has clothes in it. You quickly and quietly change into brown hunting pants, a forest green long sleeve shirt, and brown leather boots. There was also a silver circlet but you decide not to wear it. At the bottom of the bag you see a dark green cloak so you pull it out and put it on. You start packing everything up. All of a sudden the tent flap is whipped open and you see Williams face looking down at you.
  
  "Good you're up. You have a visitor." He snaps. You glare at him but follow him outside the tent. The sun is just coming up and you calculate that it is about 6 in the morning. You look around and you see Ash leaning against a tree across from your tent with a look of annoyance on his face.
  
  "Where have you been!?" You ask him. He looks at you with raised eyebrows as if to say really.
  
  "He just all of a sudden pops out of nowhere and thinks that he can just waltz right in here after what happened last night." William interjects.
  
  "Oh, you're not off the hook either mister. Where did you get all of this supplies. Did you know that this was going to happen and that we would have to all of a sudden leave so you packed everything we needed?" You ask him.
  
  "I was just prepared for anything to happen. Maybe I wanted to take you on a hunting trip or something." He says defensively.
  
  "Or something. Whatever. I can't deal with you guys bickering all the time so you either hush it or one of you guys leave because I will not have it." You say as you turn around grabbing your backpack to go find a place to cool down. You hear a yeesh in the background as you leave.
  
  You find a small spring next to a willow tree and you splash some water onto your face. You take a deep breath and look through your pack for something to eat but you turn up empty. You really are hungry but you don't know if you could survive on your own without any weapons.
  
  > go Out On Your Own
  You decide that you can't stand to be around either of the guys so you decide to leave them both behind. You go a little while until you become officially lost. You stand around trying to find your way when out of nowhere a group of people in dark cloaks surround you.
  
  "We are members of the Dark Order. Stop or be killed." One of the people say. You decide to stop. You say that you don't want to die but no sooner where the words out of your mouth that you suddenly find an arrow protruding from your chest and you fall over dead.
