(Title- A Legacy to Remember)Chapter 3- the Clan
the Forest Floor looked quite a Long Way Down . . .
the girl reached out with an unshealthed claw and scratched her grip onto the trunk. she felt his hand on her wrist tighten, and, with a wrench, he tried to pull her up. she heard the stranger's claws scratch the trunk and felt him slide toward her, his hand still tight on her wrist. with caution, she decided to climb upward to see who he was. but everytime she moved she felt him tense. 'i'm stuck' she muttered to herself. then, she raised the wrist on which the stranger held onto, and slammed it into the trunk. his hand let go of her wrist, but in the same moment, she realized she had lost her footing. she felt herself drop through the air, hurtling toward the ground. it felt as though there was nothing around her, nothing at all, except for the rushing air and, a sense of certain death. she felt herself gasp for breath, and try to stretch her legs into a position that would allow her, once she hit the ground, to roll away, in order to avoid any broken bones, and regain her footing. she felt her back smash into the floor, b4 doing a half-hearted summersault across the ground. she sat up and groaned. 'need More practice...' slowly she stood and took a step, 'i dont think anything's broken...' she heard a rustle in the branches above her, 'hes trying to follow me!' without a second thought she dashed deeper into the forest, toward her clan. she heard the pounding foot steps of the pursuer, behind her.
. . . .
she leaped over a log, dodged an overhanging branch, and nearly crashed into an oak tree's wide trunk. but b4 she could turn and dodge under the oak's outstretching branches, she felt an arm nudge her against her back, pinning her against the trunk. 'Damn it!' she cursed, she hated to give up, to surrender, but it seemed as if she had no other choice. she felt a hand grasp the back of her shirt and twist her neck around roughly. her eyes narrowed in anger, but then raised in surprise. "Celie?!" he whispered. "Ray. . . " she murmured, her eyes wide open.
. . . .
Celie had been brought back into the clan, her explanation had been told to everyone, from the highest council member, to the lowest warrior. she grimaced at how Ray had forced her to realize how long she had been gone and how important it was to return. she scowled and kicked a pebble into the grass, ignoring a girl who was sneering at her and whispering to a girl next to her. Celie furrowed her forehead in fustration and turned to face the girl, whose name was Ali. the girl looked a year younger than me, Celie had thought '...though she still might have the guts to tattle on me...' her eyebrow slanted and a subtle grin formed on her lips, 'but then again, i would have my own excuse for That.' she picked up a pebble, tossed it in-place in her hand a couple times, and then slung her arm back and threw it. the girl, who was now snickering to her friend, never noticed until it was too late. Celie was already halfway across the clearing b4 the stone hit. she heard a smack and a guick yelp. she grinned in satisfaction, the thick branches of the forest already covered her shadow. she passed by Yen, a girl in her Tree, who happened to be in forest session at the moment. she scowled, when she saw the beginnings of a smile on Celie's lips. "What are u thinking about?" Yen had mixed the mushroom herbs with the poisonous ones up and was grumbling at every mere thought. Celie stopped and turned to face Yen "i was thinking about. . . Vengence." a smile once again, slowly, forming on her mouth.
