SHADOW WOLF

One of the boys threw his head back and laughed. Way to make a first impression as a maniac, bro.
"Well, what do we have here?" he asked. The other boy and girl started slowly circling us.
The girl looked super weird. I don't know what your definition of weird is, but you would probably agree with me. She had a half-shaved mass of stringy black hair, and red eyes like Luna, but with more of an evil look in it than a warm look. Her toothy grin revealed several silver and gold teeth near the back. She had two katanas strapped to her back. She also wore a weird navy blue chest plate with the Bluehawk symbol on it over a red tube top. She wore knee-length combat boots and really tiny black shorts.
The boys looked identical, except one was slightly shorter. They both had sandy matted hair with deep red at the tips. I don't think it was fashionable highlights, though. They wore leather jackets over pinkish stained shirts. their denim jeans had holes all over them, and had reddish brownish splotches.
The taller twin examined me.
"A bit scrawny. She won't last long." he said. I scowled.
I kicked him in the crotch. He doubled over, then backed away. Guess i don't know my own strengths.
"Who are you?" asked Luna.
"Im Jerry." said the shorter boy. "And.... thats Larry." he motioned at the guy who was still limping a little.
"Im Macy." said girl. Her voice was really raspy. It sounded like she hadn't had water for days.
We stood in an awkward silence for a minute.
"Well, what are you waiting for?!" groaned Larry.
Before they could move, Luna shot her rifle. i squeezed my eyes shut.
When i opened them, i stared in shock at the crippled body of Jerry. I looked at Luna. Her face was pale, and her eyes looked about as big as the ships that the aliens were flying in.
"What?" i ask.
"I'll explain lat- GO!"
Macy was charging at me. She swung her katana at me, and i dodged, barely grazing my sleeve.
"I don't care how you do..." she said. "But you will PAY FOR THAT!!!"
"Well, so much for not shooting people." said Luna.
In a quick movement, Luna reloaded her rifle but the bullet ricocheted off of her chest plate and whizzed past my ear. She reloaded and shot again, but Macy blocked it with her katana. "Black diamond," grinned Macy as she tapped her armor and katana. "You can't make a dent."
"Delta formation!" muttered Serena, and Luna ran to one side of Macy and took out her metal bat. This looked like a 'close in' move or something, so a flanked another angle. Macy looked smug and unmoved.
We all charged at Macy, but she quickly slipped between me and Serena.
Serena looks like she just remembered something, and all of a sudden, looked really mad. She pounced at Macy.
One second Serena was in the air, the next an arrow was impaled through her lower back. Macy backed up, grinning. Luna gasped, and tears welled up in her eyes. I whipped around and saw Larry holding his bow. He grinned.
Serena looked like she was about to black out any second.
"You..." She coughed. "You killed him... you won't.. you won't get away w-" she coughed one last time, and collapsed.
Tears rolled down Luna's cheeks. She stared at Serena's dead body.
These people seemed unnaturally strong. They were freaky.
"Luna..." i muttered. She stared still. "Luna!" i tugged her arm. She looked up at Macy and Larry, and her sad expression turned into an angry one. With tears rolling down her cheeks and a scowl, she loaded a bunch of bullets. It took a while. Slowly backing away, wondering what the heck she was doing.
All of a sudden, bullets were fired at Larry and Macy like a hailstorm.
They quickly picked up Serena and Jerry's bodies and ran away dragging them behind them.
Luna sniffed as they left.
"I swear to god, they are not going to get away next time." she cried as she ripped some bark off of a tree and fed it to the fire.
I cut a branch off of a tree and plucked off all the leaves. i arranged them in little circles on the ground for us to sit on instead of dirt and rocks.
"So do you have any food?" asked Luna, sniffing.
"Just a few berries." i said. "Thats why i was going to Ravenstone. There's a big source of them around that area."
"oh," she said. "we need food now, though."
"If Lynna was here, she could help us. she's a good hunter. but..." i said. "she's not."
"Tell me more about Lynna." said Luna, adjusting her position on the leaves.
"Well.." i thought. I couldn't remember a whole lot about Lynna, actually. "Well, she always wanted to be a warrior. Or a leader. I think that's the reason she left. She wanted a new life. And I left to find her."
"oh." said Luna. We stared at the fire for a minute.
"Should we start heading to Ravenstone or get some sleep?" i asked.
"Lets go to sleep." said Luna. "We'll set out in the morning."
