"Cara this way the trap went off," I shouted for my team and then ran towards the trap while keeping to the forest to reduce the chances fo getting caught.
I continued to run while noticing my team that was spread out all around me. We moved through te forest like shadows through the night, silent and deadly.
Any beast in our path we moved around and any that noticed anyone of us was dealt with silently and quickly as to not attract anymore attention.

Traveling takes a lot out of you when on guard constently. We managed to travel roughly 50 miles in about 1 hour.
We needed to take a break because we kept a consistent pace while also fighting off many beasts and avoiding more.
I wanted to keep a fast pace since we lingered longer than we should have during our break.
"I want everyone double timing it, NOW!!!" I yelled out the last part to emphasies the urgency in getting to the triggered trap.
After using intent to get my people moving faster I noticed that the vegitation around us started taking on shapes of beasts, animals and small humanoids.
"Leader!" One of mine shouted towards me, "What!?" I shouted back while also looking back at her not knowing that a beast took that oppertunity to pounce on me.
I got smacked to the ground hard after having a couple hundred pounds of beast land directly on me, thankfully I was using mana at the time and I could reinforce my body in time.
I rolled back, launching myself up and back while spinning to land back on my feet. I didn't feel it at the time but now I felt an intense pain run up and through my right arm.
"Uggh," I grunted in pain while watching many shadows move with unparrelled speed and percision. I tried to process everything and regain my composure but I started to panic when I saw Theo have his head cut off by something really fast, I the lost my rationality and paniced.
"EVERYONE FORM UP NOW!" I shouted in a hurry not realising that everyone was desperatly fighting for their lives and I led them into it.
I stopped completely not knowing what to do, I thought I was ready to lead a team but it turns out I wasn't ready at all.
I for some reason was left alone, untouched after getting my arm disabled. It felt like they knew I wasn't a threat anymore so they chose to leave me alone.
"JEN!!! I NEED YOU, BARK GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW AND FORM UP WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER IF WE WANT TO MAKE IT OUT OF THIS!" Cara yelled in a authoritive and commanding voice that made the 2 warriors snap to attention and do as told.
"Where is sy- I mean leader, she needs to join up with us," Cara spoke slightly slipping under pressure.
"OVER HERE, SHE IS HERE!!" Bark roared over the noise of battle. Though there was only four of them left the numerous beasts and monsters were consistently making noise.
"LEADER WE NEED YOU TO LEAD US OUT OF THIS SO WE CAN LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY!" Cara broke no argument but it seemed that her leader was lost in her own mind in fear and terror.

Unbeknownst to them while in the middle of battle a tall and imposing figure awoke after blacking out and sensed a life and death battle and bolted towards them at speeds to fast for the naked eye to see.
Mike made his way through the jungle at speeds faster than F1 race car. Flying through the jungle, leaping from branch to branch with percision and grace allowing him to keep his speed from slowing down.
"Damn it, I might not make it in time," Mike cursed sensing the viality of the beings slowly being widdeled down to nothing. "I have to push myself if I want to watch and gauge them before I will decide to help them if they seem friendly."

(Cara POV)
We were surrounded by beasts, goblins, orcs, and monsters. I do not know if we can make it through this so I decided to make a decsion and that was to fight to our last breath. I knew my team we were never going to go down without a fight nor were we going to let our enemies take us willingly.
I looked towards my leader or now former leader for she is lost. I did not pity her even though she is my best friend, we trusted her and put our complete faith in her ability to lead and keep us away from harm.
*SLAP*
The sound caused both Jen and Bark to look over in my direction but they did not keep there gazes lingering on us for fear of an attack.
"We trusted you, we put our faith in you. you may be our best friend and we yours but that doesnt change the fact you let us down and got most of us killed."
"We lost Jark, Jill, Carm, Dean, Kael, and Bruna. OUR FRIENDS DIED AND YOU ARE LETTING THEM DIE IN VAIN BECAUSE OF YOUR WEAKNESS AND FEAR!" I lost it at that point, I couldn't hold it anymore as tears started to pour out of my eyes.
Sydney even holding a hand to her cheek where I had slapped her had enough sense to not look up or speak back saying anything to place the blame elsewhere.
While I was being protected by Jen and Bark I knew they were tired and worn out from fight for so long. If the monsters decided to attack now we would for sure die.
I did not let it get to me as for I needed to make sure she understood her failure even if we all die today.
"I just want to know why?" I asked her the easiest yet hardest question to answer.
(A/N: the (....) should be viewed as sniffles)
"I..don't..... have... anything.... to say," Sydney couldn't say anything for she was being drowing in sorrow and helplessness and shame.
I watched her then felt the intent to attack from the monsters and beasts. I knew there was nothing to do but stand here helplessly and wait to die alongside my friends.... and family, but not without a fight.
Then out of nowhere a sudden blur sped past me and into the hoard of monsters, swift movements and deadly blows were unleashed from this mysterious person killing anything that had killing intent.
