We got to his house in one piece. I said bye and walked away.
"Hey thx." He said.
"For what?" I said.
"For not killing me." He said
"No problem." I said. I started to walk away. But then...
"Hey would you like to stay for a few days? I mean till the men stop looking." He asked.
" Yeah, why not." I said.
He opened the door and let me in. He gave me a small blanket and said "good night."
He turned off the light and he went to his room.

The next morning.

A boy, a little younger than me walks in to the room and yelled in fear. I guess the boy forgot to tell his family I was here. Then all of a sudden kid ran in to calm his brother down. Then his two older brothers came in.
"Hunter!" His older brother yelled.
"Who the hell are you?!?!?! Who is that?" He said in a mad voice. and a pocket knife in his hand.
"She's not gonna to hurt us." He said.
He grabbed the boy and started to talk to him in the corner.
"What the hell were you thinking. Bringing a random girl in here without letting us know." She said.
"She was running from the queen so I helped her out." I said.
"Hunter we are so much trouble as it is and I don't need you helping her. You don't even know her." He said.
"Look I'm sorry but look at the bright side no one was hurt." I said.
"You got lucky." He said.
"I know that she wouldn't hurt us." I said. "Give her a chance and its only for a little bit."
They come back.
"Look you can stay, but if you hurt even one person or steal anything I will kill you." He said.
"Ok." I said.

"Your brother... He's nice." I said.
"I know. Try living with him." He said.
"So I guess your name is Hunter." I said.
" It was my grandpa's name. He died before I was born." Hunter said.
"Oh I'm so sorry." I said.
"It's ok. So what's your name?" He asked.
"It's a long story." I said.
"I have time" He said and he sits down on a log.
"Ok" I said.
"Some people thought I was a monster. Some thought I was a killer. And some thought I was hope. The people that thought I was a monster called me the yantong (means the monster in the trees). The people that called me the killer are scared that I would hurt there family's. And the people that thought I was hope thought I would start a new rebelus to stop the queen and to give them freedom." I said
"Why don't you?" He said.
"What?" I said
"Why don't you finish what your parents started?"
"Are you high. If I do start it the queen can catch me." I said.
"Don't let her." He said. "Your the hope that people need. Let them know there's more to life than this." He said.
"They need a hero not me." I said.
"You are the hero." He said. He got up and said "I got to go."
My mind went blank. All that went on in my head was "you are the hero."
