Oh...crud...."REINFORCED ICE SHIELD NOWWWWW!" 

Chapter 5 Rise

People on the sidelines, on the field and people of the school watched as ball of fire erupted towards the sky, that also gave a diversion to the blink of light as Louise and Jennifer made it out.

Alyss watched in horror of what just happened.

"No...Noo!" She cried out.

"He..didn't make it" as everyone spread the word.

The teachers watched with disbelief. Everyone around knew at least about a boy who went into save a fellow student.

Louise saw Alyss and ran over, "Will. He saved us...."

"Louise!?" a teacher called out in surprise, "Where were..."

"I was in the fire with Jennifer, I was trying to find her...sorry" Louise said apologetically.

Jennifer soon collapsed, some medical units came to help her on a stretcher.

The paramedic replied, "Don't worry, it seems like from over exhaustion. A good rest and she will be fine."

Everyone stood in silence, Alyss sobbing on the ground. Even Brash looked at the fire, "That blasted guy...he saved those two..."

The Principal held her megaphone, "Everyone...please take a moment of silence, I know this is the most un-related thing to do... but we owe him. For warning us."

The people nearby muttered in surprise, "Warning us? Wait? What?"

Chris stood up, "Wait, you're saying he knew there was a fire?"

The principal nodded, "Yes, he explained to me how he smelt a slight difference in the air. Tracked the vents to the west wing which was off limits. So he asked his teacher to check it out." With a quick summary.

"What about that huge explosion? Must've been a nuclear bomb!" Jerry exclaims.

Shodun punched him, "If it was a nuclear bomb, it'd kill this city and who knows what farther by now idiot!"

Fred stood in the middle, glancing at Alyss. "Chill...something else is worse than the school been blown up."

Louise, the archery team and the rest of the lot, looked at Alyss who was silently crying.

Ooo

Sarah threw her baton down which reflect off the floor.

The director radioed in, "I heard the explosion, it went off way more earlier than we anticipated"

Sarah acidly replied, "Why didn't we just sent in the team in the first place? Now look at it, I'm sure it's in the news by now. That place is nearly destroyed. Even that archery room which was practically a safe house. Collapsed."

"I should have just sent the team instead." Sarah watched at as the fire danced.

The director sighed.

"Where are the fire bombers? I'm not an expert but they should have been here way earlier...I was their handler." Sarah said with breaks between sentences.

"This...must be also very hard on Alyss." The director finally spoke.

Sarah perked up, "That's right! Poor girl, Will was basically everything to her. Only friend and someone who knew the world in the past."

"We need to deal with the media coverage right now. That, then everything else after. Order, Procedure Exodus" the director said with a slight tone of sadness.

"Under...stood." Before Sarah looked back at the wreckage.

Ooo

"I should...I shouldn't ...why..oh god why did I say that? He was only protecting me." Alyss sobbed.

Louise put a comforting arm around her. "I..sorry..it's our fault we were in the school still, if only-"

"No, he stopped me from going in. I said to him he didn't care about who was inside still. But he never meant that at all..." Then broke into tears again. The archery team and classmates stood in a semi-circle,

They all heard it, everyone lookedup, the chief calls out, "There's the water bombers, this took them way too long. In a true response, they should have been here within 8 minutes ago. What the hell took them that long?"

A voice spoke, "Actually, they are 1 minute ahead of the estimated time I radioed in earlier, chief."

They all turned to look at who it was, "Captain?"

"That's right and that's my planes coming here. So you better shut your trap about them and say thanks for saving this school."

Alyss, rose slowly. Holding the tattered, full of soot otherwise in perfect condition cloak, stormed right up to the captain.

"Saving?" Alyss spoke with a bit of Araluen accent forming.

"Saving? Let me spell it out for you Captain. This school is destroyed, If you think no one noticed, but sending a team of firefighters from the other side.. the West Wing to fight the fire from the core was one of the most stupid ideas ever!"

The captain looked at her with cold eyes, "Excuse me? You are lucky you're alive young girl!"

"No." she shook her head, "I'm lucky he saved me."

"Which leads to another thing, I read this city's information. Your motto, 'Civilians before all hands.' That is your motto. Yet you allow a student to burn?" She spat bitterly.

The principal spoke, "Hey Alyss.."

"DON'T YOU INTERUPT ME" she ordered with an air of authority with her. Even the captain froze for a second.

The captain quickly recovered, "Really now? If you are so sure, I am Captain Verdick. I have a son here...named Shane Verdick? Eh? Ring some bells there? I would have done all my power to save this school."

"Like I said. Verdick, sending innocent firemen into a hazardous zone is a severe breach to any code of any honor if you had any yourself" Alyss retorted. Immediately, she got most of the people on her side, including the Captain of the Police force who was standing in the sidelines, nodding in agreement.

"Why you little-"

"No, I said do not interrupt when a lady is speaking!" She ordered, shutting him up. "On my way out, the boy who is in the wreckage right now, warned the firefighters you sent. Suicide mission, because of Will, now only one man survived that mission. He's in the medical room with high burns."

Seeing shock and surprise in his face, everyone saw slight guilt form for a brief second.

"Captain Verdick, not only that. What the chief said was correct. Only by one mark off. Those bombers should have been here in 7 minutes, not eight. SEVEN."

The captain roared with laughter, "Really? Why?"

"I read the procedures book for the Fire team, Paramedics and police. You water bombers should have been here if the procedure was taken correctly. However clearly that was not the case. It was 8 minutes behind, and your estimation it was 16 minutes behind in total. And you call yourself proud for being 1 minute before estimation. Fine, 15 minutes behind schedule. Does that make it sound any better?" Alyss spoke.

There was a terrible silence. The captain looked at her in fury, "I..am the captain of the fire department of this district. As one of the captains of the public service in this city, I hold an equal amount of power to hold you in court for insulting and giving off false information and accusations to one whom like you have no power. Even if your father was the king of England. That wouldn't do you any good. It would only hurt you and those around you more."

That was the last straw, inside the cloak she drew the blue-hue saxe knife up to the throat of the captain.

Everyone froze in shock, some of the police drew their weapons. The police captain silently ordered to stand down.

"I don't have any parents anymore nor any relatives. Will, was the only person closest to me left." She said. Shocking everyone in the student body, the archery team and friend of theirs the most surprised.

The captain grins, "Shane, come out. You see this? Now we have proof to stand you in court. Raising arms against a captain is a serious offense."

Alyss moved with rapid speed faster than anyone, not Will, but than anyone around. Up to Shane's neck, "Shane Verdick, please hand over your phone."

No one dared to say a word. Alyss spoke again, "NOW" With a tone of command.

He said, "Fine whatever." Tossing the phone.

Alyss calls out, "Who's the Captain of the Police force?"

The man stood out, "Here miss."

"Miss?" Captain Verdick spat. "What's with that courtesy? She's a blown offender!"

Ignoring him, Alyss passed the phone to the Police Captain, "Please read out loud what this says. Also time too."

The captain's eyes widened, "This...alright.. today..1:55pm, Alright this morning we got the gas cans in place. Also the walls have been coated with the gasoline as you said. Better pay us the money son of the fire captain.

1:59, thanks guys yes. 50,000$ to you guys by the end of this week. Is this going to a disaster?

2:03 Yes, this school will burn to the ground. You don't mind that if a few of your fellows die in this?

2:08 Yeah."

Everyone stood in utter shock, the Captain Verdick himself was the most surprised. "Wait what? Shane what is this?"

Shane turned deathly white, "H-how did you recover that? I deleted it!"

Alyss smiled at him, "No, you didn't. You just deleted the other messages. Not the last few ones. Captain? Read the last message sent before the fire started."

"2:30pm, alright. Not only, I got this jerk Will in near trouble with the Principal. But somehow he weaseled our plan out, but don't worry guys it still going to cause some irreparable damage."

Everyone turned to look at the Shane.

"This is.." the captain shouted, "Why did you do this? You know I have to testify in this court. You're in deep trouble."

Alyss began to laugh softly, "You said so yourself Captain Verdick, even if my father was the king of england, he wouldn't be able to do anything. It would hurt those around me the most. Your words, funny how the irony works huh?"

Shodun slammed his palm, "She executed this perfectly, Alyss just practically blown the cover of who was behind the fire!"

Chris nodded, "But Will..."

Daniela looked at her, "Those two...they are way to experienced. It's like they've been in these situations and trained for it."

Alisha whispers, "Just impressive. She's utterly destroying him, as if this was all planned out."

The captain moved forward towards Alyss. Raising his hand to strike, a female voice commanded, "Stop!" Unmistakably with the pause, the position was clear that it was a strike across Alyss's face.

Suddenly a dozen men aimed their weapons at the captain, parted a way to reveal a woman with a helmet on.

This erupted chaos. The police raised their guns at the men pointing at the Captain and students and people scattered farther away. Leaving the Archery members, Alyss and the remaining police standing.

Alyss immediately recognized who it was under the helmet. Sarah!

"Dare touch that girl and you'll be in the prison for the rest of your lives." She said.

The captain of the police, demanded, "Who are you? Who are these men? Tell them to stand dow-"

"Captain of the Police force Department." Her voice cut like a whip and she tossed a card at the captain who stumbled to catch it.

"Level...1 clearance? What? Even the SWAT team doesn't even have such clearance. I'm not even aware any intelligence agencies are looking at just a normal school fire." He muttered giving it back to her who also ordered the policemen to lower their guns.

She began to laugh, "You are so wrong, this place is always constant with surveillance all the agencies across the world."

Everyone muttered with disbelief, "Wh-"

"This school is...no WAS the home of the richest families around the world. If not popular or members of important families. I wonder how they would feel about the leading protectors of such harm would be seen as after this...taken very poorly" she said mildly.

"Also, what Alyss here is also correct. Captain, you have been demoted. As of right now you are stripped of your rank. We have footage of the field where you deliberately said to the men take their time to prepare their planes." She declared.

"Also, there are 4 planes. Not just two. If you were putting more time into polishing your equipments, you would have 4 on the way. But 2 were unusable. One is completely drenched in the lake right now due to engine failure and the second one has leakage in the loading bay." She slapped the ace card right across the captain's face.

Captain Verdict rose to defy then only to meet 12 guns aimed at him, "I am law and order herself. We have proof, including that little strike you were going to do on a civilian. She's right, you really put your own motto to shame. As for Shane Verdict, charged with destruction of private property and murder, you'll be coming with your father."

She turned around, "You have the right to remain silent. I hear a peep out of you could be used against you in court."

Looking at the fire hall chief nearest to the school, "Chief? For your commendable effort you have been appointed captain of the Fire department. Dismissed." Who was surprised at the sudden change of promotion.

Within 30 seconds, the problem was immediately removed.

"Thanks..." Alyss said uncertainly not sure if she should call her name.

"No problem Alyss..." And turned to look at the burnt building.

After the confrontation was over, everyone began to peter back on the field. The principal and the student council began organizing the departure for the students.

Alyss puts the cloak on... Will's cloak on. Trying to hold her tears in, finding the person behind it and revealing it was satisfying.

"Sigh."

Ooo

After an hour or so, Louise and Jennifer sat beside Alyss whom still sat at the same spot since the evacuation.

"Alyss? Let's go home and get yourself cleaned up. The dormitory wasn't effected at all and was cleared by the fire department." Jennifer said with a gentle tone.

Louise and Jennifer exchanged a glance.

"Alyss, come on now..."

"I shouldn't have said I hated him, when he was only protecting me." Alyss muttered.

"I'm sure Will knew you weren't saying that for real." Louise chided.

"He probably thought about that for his last thoughts." Alyss said, then putting her face into her knees.

They all looked at the sunset and black, burnt building.

"You know, you're right Alyss. It was one of my last thoughts." A familiar voice said beside them.

"I know Will, that's why I regret and hate myself so so so much because I said those words to you. I wish I could see you again to say I lo-" Alyss paused in mid-sentence and whirled around to see Will tired, black head to toe smiling.

"YOU BIG JERK WHY DID YOU COME OUT NOW?!" Alyss shrieks at him

"Woah woah now hey.... Look I just came out of an ice ball so I'm a little wet behind the ears..literally.. and I couldn't help but step back and watch your diplomatic skills at its peak.... Really frightening too.." Will said grinning.

Louise and Jennifer looked up in shock, "Will..HOW? DID YOU SURVIVE?"

"Don't ask...at all....try not to..." Will said tiredly.

Alyss hugged Will real tight, "Don't you dare do that to me ever again. EVER"

Will hugs back with one arm, "Well...that is if you promise me two things."

"Anything Will." She replies immediately.

Louise and Jennifer smiles at each other, really relieved their savior wasn't dead... or else they'd have the conscience that their friend gave their life for them.

"One, never run for the fire ever again." Will listed.

Alyss nodded, "I promise."

"And two...tell me what you going to say a few minutes ago...I lo-?"

Alyss nodded again, "I was going to say-"she caught herself and punched him real hard.

"Ow! HEY that's the arm that got hit with the wood!" Will howled in pain.

"I don't care if a truck ran over it, I refuse to promise the second promise." Alyss said defiantly.

Jennifer stage whispered, "Wow, she is really a harsh girlfriend."

Louise giggled, "I KNOW right? I mean punching a broken arm and saying she doesn't care about it."

Jennifer shook her head mockingly, "Gee and all afternoon she was bawling over abo-"

"SHUT UP!" Alyss seethed in anger. Then she turns around to see Will using the two knives he taken from Alyss trying to start a spark.

"W-Will? What are you doing?" She asked uncertainly.

He looked up at her and gave a long stare.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to make a fire and light up the school again." Will replied evenly.

"WHAT?" The three shouted in unison.

Will stood up and brushed himself....as much as he could with one hand, "Well. Alyss said me to not go in the middle of a school fire her like that. So I replied okay on two promises. The fact she only promised one of the promises. That's not two. So I still can go back into the fire...or so I am trying to" Looking at Alyss accusingly.

She puts her hands up in the air in exasperation and stormed off the campus towards the dormitory.

Will puts one hand on his hips, "That's her for ya, back to the normal self."

Louise spoke, "Jennifer, I think we found the cruelest out of this relationship. We were wrong, Alyss isn't the terrible girlfriend. It's the terrible boyfriend."

Will gave them both a long look. "Oh lay off me will you? Don't forget I was the one who saved you two back there"

Both of them quickly stayed silent. Will grins at them, "That's what I thought."

Suddenly Sarah came back, "Hey you two friends of Alyss, where-" And froze as she saw Will standing.

"Is that really you?" Sarah asked uncertainly.

Will nodded, "In one piece....although I think a part of me decided to leave me but I'm sure it will heal."

"Good grief, now I wish you were dead Will." Sarah said threateningly

Will took several paces back, "Woah there. Hey. You wouldn't hurt an injured kid now will you?"

Sarah looks at him and started to laugh, "Well...now I have to remove the charge of murder for Shane Verdick."

Will lowered his head with a small, "Now I almost wish I was dead."

Louise whispered in his ear, "But Alyss wouldn't be too thrilled to hear that."

Will grins at her, "More like she'll kill me herself!"

"Well, Jennifer and Louis, I'm glad you two...are fine....Sa-...I mean agent woman? I think.. I'm going to take ...a break now." Will drabbled and then crumpled to the ground.

Sarah quickly rushed to check on him, "No danger, he's just tired..."

The two breathed out a sigh of relief.

Ooo

After a couple months of recovery, Will surviving was kept a secret between Louise, Jennifer and Alyss. Soon the original school was erected, with much better plans.

Amazing how fast they could build a school with this size and have the good stuff inside with money.. Will thought as he had a cast on his arm. 2 more days until this thing gets off.

It was already 2 weeks since the school opening. Relieved to hear, the Archery matches were postponed due until next week.

Will walked up to the door and two girls at a locker turned to see who it was, only to stand in shock as they saw Will who smiled at them. A few students walked by seeing the familiar cloaked boy. Muttering if they saw a ghost or not.

Will stood at the closed door, "Well, let's see what their reaction would be now."

Suddenly Alyss appeared at his side who gave him a dazzling smile, "Alright injured student, ready to come back and blow up the class again?"

"Hey, don't you start being like Brash again." Will said sadly.

"Oh come on, I'm more better than that guy. I am Alyss you know?" She smiled

Suddenly there was a loud explosion within the room.

Will opened the door and rushed in to see the class in a circle around a table where Toby and Shayna was standing. Each holding Chlorine and Ammonia in their hands.

"What are you guys trying to do? Blow up this classroom? Burn it down? Didn't we do that already?" Will exclaimed.

They all turned in shock as they saw Will. The teacher came in and began acting, "What are you doing class, trying to-" and froze as Mr. Corwell saw Will.

Alyss skipped in, "Oh yeah Will? I forgot to mention. The class has been doing this every day...for you"

"Blowing up the classroom?" Will said with a hurt tone. "They are trying to mock me here!"

Alyss laughed, suddenly a thundering herd of classmates came running towards Will at the front.

"Alyss! Help! I think I want the fire back now! THIS IS MUCH WORSE!" Will shouted between questions mostly about how he still is alive.

Alyss laughed, "Your punishment for scaring me like that Will!"

Ooo

The word that Will is still alive traveled like a wildfire...maybe like a flood. He was practically a celebrity of the school.

By the end of the day, Will creeped up to Alyss and pressed her sides. Which she shrieks out in response.

"Don't do that!" She said angryily.

"Hey, says the one who set me up in this. I like people and some attention. BUT THIS is ridiculous." Will said in defence.

Alyss broke into a grin, "Well...it's not worse than Skandia now is it?"

Will thought about it, "You know what? You're right."

Alyss smiled even wider, but his next words dispelled it.

"It's less worse.."

She looked at him with a frown, not liking what he was going to say next.

"...than you standing in front of the TV and the remote in your hands trying to figure out to change the baseball channel back to the weather channel." Will said with a straight face.

Alyss blushed bright red, "YOU SAW THAT?"

Will shrugged, "Well...wasn't my fault when we were trying to sleep on the first day.."

Realization dawned to Alyss, "That's...right...you're a Ranger...you sleep lightly..."

Will puts his good arm around Alyss, "I can just see the headlines on the news, The King's Courier, standing for 1 hour and 17minutes in front of the TV. Only to figure out the up and down arrows were the buttons to change the mysterious-mind fogging-" WHAM!

Alyss walked away, "I CAN'T believe you actually counted the time." Secretly, she was delighted that Will actually remembered and payed attention to her.

Will rubbed his head tenderly, "And here I thought she was kind to injured people."

Steve showed up to his side, "That's pretty much like me and Jennifer."

Will turned, "Hey Steve! I haven't seen you since the day we came in, where were you?"

"Well... for today avoiding Jennifer. She is pissed that I left on short notice to Canada." Steve said with a lopsided grin. Then onto some serious thoughts, "She threatened to me that once I get back, she's going to give me an earful."

Will laughed, "Seems like her."

Steve then nodded to his arm, "Nasty injury there huh? I heard what happened. Crazy ruckus these past months huh? Too bad I missed them. This school gets boring, and you my friend spice that up a lot."

Will defended, "Hey, not my fault."

Steve laughed, "Alright. You mind coming with me to the Archery Room? I need some wingman support on this...someone who can make her laugh DURING school."

Will gave him a raised eyebrow and followed. "I'm heading there either way."

Steve gave a chortle, "Right also the killing the boy's team with that lousy joe."

"Lousy joe?" Will asked.

"That bow they said you used. It was actually made by some grade 1 kid in New Hampshire. That thing is really inaccurate and heavy." Steve said. "And I still can't believe the fact that you used it and worked with it so well."

"Bow made by a mere kid?" Will said with disbelief.

"Yeah, impressed? It's a terrible bow I say." Steve said.

Will walked in silence.

"That is...I didn't believe it until I saw that oversized long bow." Steve laughed.

"You know a lot of the bows don't you?" Will asked.

"Yeah, I was once on the boy's archery time until I just didn't feel like doing it anymore. Glad you took my spot, or else Jen would have been devastated the archery team is been cut." Steve said with a low voice.

"What?" Will said with surprise.

"They didn't tell you?" Steve said equally surprised. "Probably they were getting too desperate that you might leave.."

Will nodded slowly, "With that, I think I might."

Ooo

"So it's true?" Will asked.

Everyone uncertainly looked at Will, getting a person who is basically a small hero, on a wrong side is really undefined. Especially Will however, one who holds the teams future in balance.

Big Fred gave Steve a sharp look who shrugged. It wasn't his fault not telling him.

"Look, if you want to quit. Just quit now. Don't make us wait here. We still got practice time to make." Jerry said impatiently.

Will snapped, "In war, there are two battles you are fighting, Patience is a key in a battle. Lose your cool, you lose the mental battle. Therefore you lose the actual fight."

That stunned them to silence.

Daniela spoke, "I've been meaning to ask. Who are you and Alyss?"

Will gave her a raised eyebrow, "What do mean?"

Daniela shrugged, "I've been watching. And you two get along well. But your lack of information of this place in general and the way you write...act...everything. It's like you were never from this world at all."

Jennifer held up her hands, "Hey now, don't you go randomly insulting. We're still on an important matter here."

Will nodded, "Let's say, I have been to large conflicts... Me and Alyss, faced challenges together and separately."

Shodun nodded slightly, "That would explain your forever expansion of information of nature and wisdom in tactics."

"Trained for that." Will dismissed.

"Alright, I've come to a decision."

He waited. Then spoke, "I'll stay. On one condition."

"To speak the truth."

They all released a breath they've all kept.

Will smiles, "Oh come on, do you really think I was mad at you guys keeping that a secret from me? I already knew that."

After three seconds of what Will just said sank in, they exploded in surprise. "What? How?"

"Oh really now? I always keep an ear to the ground." Will said with a grin. He felt he still had some cautious feelings from Daniela. She's just a girl who's probably really suspicious...I suppose we could talk to her about it...just right after I find out more about her.

"Alright team, we are going to kick butt next week. AND WE ARE GOING TO WIN" Chris roars.

Then on a side note, "Hey Will, when to you lose that rock?"

Will looked at him, "Well certainly I'm not going to stay under it and kiss the saleté"

Which most of them laughed and Jennifer the loudest.

Will answered seriously, "2 days the doctor said."

"Great. Let's keep this program alive! BURNING ARROWS!" They cheered at once. Suddenly an odd silence settled.

Will broke it with a dry voice, "You know...that is really an ironic name."

"Really...really ironic." Natalie nodded.

Steve patted Will on the back, "Thanks for keeping Jennifer off me haha. Good luck with the matches. You can't win. Really I've tried."

Will gave him a look, "Not this time Steve...not this time..."

Steve laughed as he went out the door, "I'll see that for myself!"

He blew a kiss at Jennifer, "Bye Jen-Jen!" and disappeared out the door.

They all turned their heads to look at her which they saw a..really angry face.

Buck shouted, "TAKE COVER SHE'S GUNNA BLOW!"

Everyone scrambled, Will sat confused. "Wait what? Jennifer? What?"

"I-Hate-Him when he calls me that!" She screeched.

Will stood up with some effort and looked at Jennifer who was grasping her bow. Oh. Right. We're in the playing field still...

"Hey Jennifer?"

"What?" pausing to look at Will.

"Alyss said that too. She said she hated me, but she didn't. I suppose that goes the same with you isn't it? Or else you would never be a couple...I've see how you two are. Perfect two under the hard shells outside." Will said as if he was lecturing a little kid.

Fred facepalmed, "Last time a kid tried reasoning her..."

Shodun shuddered, "He must've had a dozen light arrows on him... he couldn't walk for a week!"

Utterly shocking, Jennifer looked at Will. "Will. I hate you too. You manage to kill me at everything. Even when I'm really mad...you are my weakness in defusing a fuse."

Will gave a throaty laugh, "Really? I highly doubt that. Steve is another who can defuse for you. Or else you'd never... or him for that matter stand each other." Will smirks.

Alyss suddenly hits him on the head, "What's taking you so long?"

"OW!" Will yowled. "What did you do that for?"

"You are flirting with someone else, not acceptable!" Alyss said matter-of-factly.

Will pulled her close and hugs her surprising her and everyone else at the sudden change of tactic.

Alyss pushes Will away, "Come on...that isn't fair, I just attacked and you attack me with that?"

Alisha nodded as she came beside Jennifer, "I agree with her Will. That wasn't very fair of you."

The boys began, Will whines, "Come on! I'm not THAT terrible am i?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Will sighed, then with blinding speed. He raised, drew and fired at Alyss's arm.

Alyss jumped up and down in pain, more like shock than pain.

"GORLOG'S BEARD THAT HURTS YOU KNOW?!" Alyss grabbed Jennifer's bow and began firing randomly after Will who was darting back and forth.

"Wait..but how did that hurt..?" Jennifer said pointing at her slowly, realizing the fact Alyss was actually affected.

Buck laughs, "Really you guys? When Will pulled Alyss into a hug, he stuck the sticker."

They all looked at Alyss' back, observing her. "My god you're right! That one is a sly little bugger!" Alisha exclaims in surprise.

Alyss turned to look at them, "What are you all looking at? After him!"

They all looked confused, suddenly they saw Alyss drawing at least 4 arrows at once with the bow.

"I've been with Will long enough to learn some skills you know." She said with a radiant smile.

Chris nodded, "Got it. Uh-huh? Yeah! Right. Understood. Everyone? My treat to MacWantold whoever hits Will!"

"Someone say free MacWantold?"Buck bellowed.

Will looked with surprise at the cluster which all of them began to aim right at him.

"Wait...what? ALL OF YOU AGAINST A CRIPPLED MAN LIKE ME? I JUST GOT BACK HERE!"

Hey!
