Subject: A Walk in the Woods part 1

It was a gloomy day. The kind you don�t want to get up for and just wanna stay in bed. As much as Archer wanted to stay in bed, he couldn�t. He is the Tribe leader and he had some things he wanted to do. Like investigate that mysterious howl he heard the other night.

Archer slowly got up from his bed, washed up, and got dressed. He packed some water and a piece of bread for lunch. There have been times when Archer would hike around the forest for hours, learning and memorizing the forest paths like the back of his hand. After packing his food, He grabbed his quiver and trusty bow and headed out.

As soon as he stepped out, he was greeted by Eliza who was already dressed and ready to go. It looked like she was waiting for a long time. She had that very impatient look upon her face that Archer knows all too well.

"Well it�s about time, Sleepy Head!" Shouted Eliza as she stood there with her arms folded looking irritated.

"And a very good morning to you too. Why are you up so early? Your not the types that up and at them in the morning." Answered Archer.

"Oh ha ha, very funny Arch. Look at me i'm laughing so hard my spleen is about to rupture,� said Eliza in a very sarcastic tone. Archer had a smile upon his face as he was fastening his quiver over his shoulder. He always got a kick out of Eliza's sarcasm. But his smile soon faded when she uttered these words..

"You heard that thing last night too, didn�t you?"

Archer was shocked that she heard it too. Well at least he knows now that he wasn't dreaming when he heard it.

Archer replied, "Well i�m going out there to try to see where that came from. Whatever it was it certainly didn�t sound all too nice."

"Well, guess who�s coming with you..."

"No, your not coming, its too...."

"Oh please!!!! Don�t gimme that crap Archer. I�m going whether you like it or not."

"Fine. Fine. At least I wont be lonely, besides this will be kinda like a test to prove how good your archery skills have improved." Snickered Archer.

Archer started walking off without her.

"Oh great! You know there�s a couple of things I could teach you..."

"Yeah? Like what, Eliza?"

"Proper manners! Like waiting up for me and not leaving me behind!!!"

"Why do I need to be polite to you, your only my pupil!"

"You punk!", shouted Eliza

Eliza threw a fierce punch to Archer's shoulder.

"OWW! That freaking hurt, Lize, you know I was only playing!!" returned Archer, while rubbing his shoulder.

"Yeh I know, I was only playing too." said Eliza with a chuckle.

"I pity the fool who gets you mad. Sheesh!" Said Archer.

�Yeh whatever. Lets go Mr. T.� Answered Eliza ss they walked out of the main entrance of their tribe base.

On their way out, Archer informed the Gatekeeper, Johnson, of the situation. Johnson stood an enormous 6'7" while only being 18 years old. He�s a fiery red head who can easily intimidate anyone. But he is kindhearted and gentle.

"Johnson, please tell Mark and the rest of the fellows that we set out and will be back by around sundown." Explained Archer.

"Ar yer going out to find where dem noises were?" asked Johnson.

"Yeh we are, but don�t worry well send back Conner if we find anything."

Conner is Eliza's pet hawk whom lives in the woods. She trained him to deliver messages back to the tribe base.

"Also tell Mark that he�s in charge while i�m gone and that he needs to find more food for the rest of the week, our supplies are getting pretty low. Also before I forget, tell him not to worry bout patrolling today, Me and Eliza will take care of that. Ok?"

"Yes boss, ill them. You can count on me."

With that Johnson opened the large doors and let Archer and Eliza out.

"You guys be careful out there! Yelled Johnson,

"Oh don�t worry bout us, John, Ill take care of Archer." Snickered Eliza.

Johnson watched the two as they walked down the road and disappeared into the bushes.
