I stood at the gate waiting for them to return from battle and after a long wait, I retired to my hut. I lay on the bed tossing and turning, I imagined how fierce the battle would be but I could only imagine since I have been restricted from going with them.

"Open the gates!" the male voice kept screaming.

I immediately recognized the voice, it was Nathan's. I opened the gate and saw my best friend covered in blood, others too rushed in. Some were injured while others were unharmed like Cade.

"What the hell happened there? Are you hurt?" I asked him.

"Close the gates, they are coming after us. They mustn't find us here
