She didn’t stop when she heard her name. Running away from the sound her name was coming from was usually a good idea. He seemed intent on remaining with her. She didn’t speed up. Instead Kaige continued along at her normal, fast pace. “Look. I don’t need a welcoming committee or your kind, friendly words. In fact, you can turn around and go back to the other boys and girls who might enjoy a good campfire song while making smores. Me? I’ll do just fine on my own. As for what I’m planning to do with my bow, that’s none of your damn business, and it’s gonna stay that way.”  She began to laugh, not giving him a chance to respond to what she had said. "Rebel? You? What did you do? Get caught smoking by your mommy and daddy? Oh I know. You refused to take a shower," she asked looking him up and down. "Fucking hippy."<br/><br/>As they neared the woods, she took in a deep breath from before sprinting into the woods. The quiver bounced on her back as he feet kicked up the earth. The wind in her face blew back her red hair. She wasn’t sure if he was following, and frankly she didn’t care, but there as a nagging thought he might be there. Her feet carried to a rather large tree that had fallen to the ground. She quickly leapt atop it, pulled an arrow from her quiver as she turned around, and drew back waiting. “Come on you mother fucker! I know you’re coming! You can’t resist being a pain in the ass. You don’t know when to leave well enough alone. You’re just like every other person in my life. Always intruding. I don’t you. I don’t want you around, and if you don’t leave me alone, I’m gonna go all William Tell on you and shoot something from your body, and I don’t mean an apple from your head. Get the picture?” Her fingers rested close to her face, as she starred down the arrow with one eye closed waiting to see if he had indeed followed her. “Come on,” she whispered. “Just give me a reason, one little reason to let go. That’s all..I..need.” The look of concentration on her face was intense.
