It'd been approximately a month and a half since I'd left what was once known as my home. Our journey left us on the outskirts of New York. People of the town had been talking behind closed doors of a Rebellion, and how they'd join up with other members in upstate New York where safe passage may be offered. I'd heard of several situations where the Regime would spread rumors such as these to capture members of the rebellion, but I had to find out for myself. I wasn't about to wait and miss out on a potential opportunity, but I'd be as cautious as possible upon closing in on the safe place. From a distance shot a loud explosion and a dark flash that spread out across the city sky. My eyes met Vi's, who tucked tail and ran for a nearby bush under a fairly large willow tree in a neighborhood yard. Kicking the small log out into the street from the small fire Vi made for us to keep warm, I grabbed my pack and took a running start at the tree Vi hid beneath. Leaping as high as I could, I grabbed on to a couple branches and pulled myself up into the tree, climbing up midway to keep me out of immediate sight. No one would find me in my dark clothing unless they were really looking for me. I could see Vi below me staring back into the direction it all came from and hunkered down, hair raising up on her hide quarters and teeth bared in a menacing smile. I, too, looked the same way and could now hear men yelling out orders, from. Yelling wasn't the only thing I heard. I heard footsteps. [i]Loud[/i] ones. As if the person was running, quite possibly from the group of men off in the distance. Making sure Vi stayed low in the thick brush, I held my breath as the steps grew louder, and closer thinking to myself, [i]"This isn't it."[/i]
