Near The Woods: Rider, Haylie, and OPEN
Rider blinked in shock as the creature fell. It was the first time he’d ever killed anything other than a wild animal. His pulse was racing and his ears were buzzing. He stared at its figure on the ground until the sound of a girl’s voice startled him back to his senses. He shook himself and peered through the darkness and saw Haylie next to the thing he’d just shot. She wasn’t alone either. There was another creature heading in her direction. Rider grabbed a second arrow.
“HAYLIE! GET OVER HERE!” He yelled gruffly in her direction and waved an arm until he hoped she’d spotted him from where he stood on a bench. He fitted the arrow into his bow and aimed, but didn’t shoot yet. He wanted her further away before he released it. "Now" he called to her.
