Chapter 9 - Day 2: Violet’s POV

"Ugh, this girl is a deep sleeper," I whisper to myself.

"Wake up!"

Idyllic turns over once more.

"Oh, no you don't!"

I begin to drag her out of the tent.

"What the hell?"

"This was the only way to get you to wake up."

"Whatever... What is it?.."

"I was thinking we should make some weapons and watch the sunrise."

"Yeah, sure. It's not like I was doing anything better."

She said staring at me sarcastically.

"Well sorry sleepyhead," I said mockingly. "I just thought you'd maybe like to do something useful and watch the beautiful sunrise."

"Yeah yeah, let's get started."

We sat propped up outside of the tent, all our tools needed sitting on a log right beside us.

We gazed at the beautiful dawn arising, then got to work.

"Everyone get down and hide!" I whispered in a hushed but frantic tone. "We've been ambushed!"

Everyone in my division rushed to somewhere safe. Idyllic was pulling me by the arm and Akira was quickly following behind.

"I can walk by myself you know," I say trying to escape from her grasp, even just for a second. But she was just too strong.!

"There's no time! We gotta go.!"

We ducked under the nearest tree and behind a large boulder that was placed there.

Akira soon followed with a makeshift knife and bow and arrow.

"Here, take the knife. I mastered Archery back at home. I've also heard that you've done something with a katana- this is similar, you should be fine." Akira said while handing the knife to Idyllic.

"Alright, what's the next move?" I ask in a hushed tone.

Akira and I simultaneously look at Idyllic.

"Okay okay, uh, look..! They're distracted, by the other division, let's make a run for it.!"

Idyllic grabbed my hand again and began to run back to the tent.

"Look! There they go!" We heard someone shout in the distance.

Suddenly there was a loud thud from behind us. It was Akira. She had tripped and fell.

"Go on and keep running, I've got her. Go back to the tent and get help." Said Idyllic as she dropped my hand and quickly rushed to Akira's side, helping her to her feet.

I continue to run back to the tent.

We continued to search for them in the cold of night. I was beginning to get worried. What if the other divisions got to them before we could?.

My hands began to tremble and my heart began to pound. What was I gonna do without Idyllic? I asked myself.

The others decided to call it a night. I would've kept searching, but I decided it wouldn't be the best thing to do at night alone.

We went back to the tent, everyone fast asleep, but I stayed awake. All night, waiting.
