Chapter 4 - Chapter 1- Fire Starter...

Shouldn't someone say their name with 100% knowledge? Not me...

"Liddiexi, of The Horde." I stay in tighten my grip on my blade.

" Right... so you're an O.T.H.E.R.S?"

" Y-yes, but no. I don't live where most O.T.H.E.R.S do. I live in a cave with my friend Omisha Otis and her boyfriend Ethan." I explained.

"... in a cave?"

" Yup! but it's a nice cave! we get hot air, and nice cooling too! plenty of couches as well." I smile.

Arius seemed 0% interested...

" A-anyway, what are you doing here? I mean aren't you supposed to be rolling down there?" I say and point to downstairs.

" oh, that reminds me, I have to kill someone, they were supposed to die 10 seconds ago. Be right back!" Arius explained.

he opened and closed both his palms and sank into the ground.

I blink.

( well it's time to run. far away from all... this...)

running renegades don't run as fast as you think. it took me about 15 minutes to run about a mile. if only my hair was tied back more I'd be able to see everything easier.

I pant as I get inside my cave. Omisha peaks her head out and make sure it's me.

" you okay?" she asks.

" not really, I'm at a really strange guy today. He k-" before I got to finish, Omisha says,

" like him?"

I turn my head around and see who she was looking at. Can you guess? it was Arius.

" Did you just follow me home?!" I asked.

" I didn't follow. I just popped up here. Different things. Who's this? wait, it's Miss. Otis isn't it?" Arius answers.

Omisha goes back into the shadows. most likely to get Ethan, no doubt.

" Well that was rude of her, she didn't even answer my question!" Arius said.

( now you know how I feel...)
