Chapter 2 New friends

The days seem to drag on with us fleeing from our enemy; they never sleep, which made it hard to find somewhere to rest. It was dawn and I was awake with every fiber of my being. I was carving some arrows with my knife having already made a bow, before the invasion my mother used to take me shooting with her and even had me make my own bow. Of course it was taken when they did a check of everyone’s houses, so this flimsy one will have to do. I heard a crack and jumped up, I look all around being extremely quiet. It was silent, not a sound to be heard and nothing in sight. Minutes passed, I reached down and grabbed my bow. “Drop it.” I hear from behind me, ‘Crap now what?’ I thought to myself while setting down my bow. “Now turn around.” Carefully I turn to see my captor, it was a boy about my age, maybe older, he was tall, blonde, and I have to say very handsome. He wasn’t my type though, he had a gun for one, to advanced for me, and he wore jeans that looked like they’d been through World War II and his hair to long for my liking. “Are you a freak or human” I asked, he grinned and put his weapon down, “Sorry for that, I’m Taylor I assumed you were an alien being out here in the forest” he said, “I’m Annabelle, these lovely people sleeping are my crew, the little one is Lilly, my sister, that’s Tiari, and they other one is Keyara”. I look behind him and see no one, “who are you traveling with” I ask curious, “no one, all my family is dead, its just me” he looks strong, but his eyes are stained with sadness. “Well where are you headed” I asked feeling a little stupid for asking, already knowing the answer. “Alaska I suppose, would you like to join forces until then?” he asks, I can see the hope in his eyes. “Hell yeah, I need someone else to help me keep watch so I can get some shuteye once in a while” I say. He helps me start packing, when I notice that the other girls are waking up. “Who is this” Keyara says, “I’m Taylor, we are going to be traveling together” he keeps helping me and picks up his bags. “Well who made you boss Bell, we’re all in this together, we should all agree together as well” Keyara says, “Well I figured since you all wined about getting up to take turns keeping watch, I could use some help” I growl back. She retreats and starts to roll up her sleeping bag, we get everything packed up and start to head out.

We walk for hours, with Tiari navigating the map, Taylor and I keeping guard, and Lilly and Keyara carrying things. I can see Lilly about to drop and suggest we find water and break. “The next water spot is about a quarter of a mile east” Tiari says and turns to show where were headed now. I hand Keyara my bow, and head over to Lilly and grab the bag off her back. She is looking ruff but I just push her along, “Why can’t I just use my powers” Lilly asks, Taylor whips around. “You’re a power bearer” he says in shock, “We all are” Keyara says still walking. “Wow that’s amazing, I’ve never met one, and now I’m in the presence of four!” now he was to excited for my taste. I push him as a gesture to keep moving and he does.
When we finally reach the water hole, we all seem to just pass out. After a minute of rest I make a rock looking structure up and around us, which blows Taylor’s mind away. “WHY” Keyara moans as she pulls some water from the water hole with her mind. “Because we can’t be seen” I say, I leave just enough space between the earth and the round part of our shelter for a breeze and for Keyara to get us some water. We each take our turns getting water from Keyara and lay to rest.
