I raced back too our campsite. There were Spati and Ghosti. Luna was nowhere to be seen, and Leon was kicking Ghosti. I lined up a shot, and released my arrow, praying only to save the others. Whether the arrow hit him or not, i just didn't care, but I hoped to disrupt whatever was keeping the others from moving. I remembered enough from my life before that I had never appreciated bullies.

"LEAVE US ALONE!" I shouted. "Just go away and leave us be."

Leon only laughed at my helplessness.

I rushed forward--not at him--but to grab Ghosti and take her away from there.
