A Secret to Protect

"Damn it! Felix should have come back already!" I punch a tree feeling the pain course through my clenched fist I just push it away.

"Calm down Mitch" Hector tries to rationalize with me.

"Calm down?! He has been gone for three days! Three god damn days!"

We waited for like ten minutes after he left but he never came back, so when we could be searching for the temple we are looking everywhere for that nitwit. When I get my hands on him he is not going to make it.

"He will show up sooner or later Mitchell, but you have to refrain yourself from harming yourself or a teammate" Jason adds the last part as I go to punch another tree in my way, I wish that I could just have so much strength that I could just push the trees out of my way.

"I am going to kill him!" I yell and push Jason away. How are we supposed to have a better chance of winning if we only have a team of four. How am I supposed to protect Tess if we don't have that many teammates? What happens if we lose one of the twins or Jason, no I cant think about that. Jason wont die, he just cant.

"Please just calm down, you are scaring Hector!" Gavin shouts and throws his arms over Hector dramatically.

I roll my eyes at his childishness but crack a smile, he is so immature. But that is to be expected, the twins are perfect, they complete each other. That sounds like some weird love story but its not, that would be very weird and gross, they are related after all.

"I will for now, but once I see him he is not going to get away without a minor injury" I give up but not completely. Once I see him I will beat him senseless. I cross my arms and trudge ahead but still look around just in case he shows up or another team decides to invade.

"You need to relax for just little bit alright? He will be here soon enough" Jason pats me on the back as if to soothe me but I don't need to be soothed.

I slap his hand away and scowl as he laughs, "Yeah, whatever" I mutter and cross my arms over my bandaged chest. Just you wait Felix, I probably wont kill you- I need your help after all-but I will break something.

"Whats that?" Hector stops in the middle of nowhere and looks around as if he hears something.

"Are you on something bro? There is nothing there" Gavin laughs looking at Hector as if he were crazy.

"No, something is there. I can feel it" Hector tries to get us to believe him.

"No, I think that you are ima-" Gavin couldn't even finish because the next moment an axe flew through the air then flashed right by his face and right into a tree right beside him.

"Crap! Everyone get down!" Jason yells falling to his knees as he dodges a flying dagger heading straight for his head.

I just freeze as the get ti their hands and knees so that they could dodge the enemies weapons without any injuries. I fall to the ground as I feel a sharp pain penetrating my left side.

"Damn it Mitch! You were told to get down!" A man yells from above me and must have caused the pain because I don't feel any metal objects in me.

I peer up just to stare up at him wide eyed. "Felix?!" I gasp since I am out of breath due to the deadly tackle that he had inflicted on me. Lets also just say that Felix isn't the lightest of people either, but it all must be muscle because I can feel it through his shirt .

Felix rolls off my body and runs after a long haired man with tanned skin into the trees, away from me... No! I had my chance! Damn damn DAMN! No no no, what the hell is wrong with me? I should have punch him at least but no, I had to be just a little bit glad that he is back. I kinda felt worried. I shake the feeling off and stand up to see that Jason and the twins are following Felix into the trees and after the other team.

After snatching the dagger that had been aimed for Jason's head I run as silently as possible after them trying my best not to crush the leaves and small sticks noisily beneath my feet. It doesn't work that well though, I am not the completely stealthiest person out there.

I rum up a tall rock as one of the men are below looking for any sign of us, without another thought I jump off and onto his unguarded back. We both fall to the ground and I quickly get to my feet and kick him in his jaw knocking him out. I am able to use enough force to knock my opponent out but not to kill them, this type of thing is natural to me. I don't know where it came from, it was just always there.

I look down at his body to see that he isn't a contestant but one of the few natives in this area, I would have expected for the creator to have gotten the few that were left. This is a bit suspicious, a little too weird to keep them here. I look down at the dagger in my hand to see that it is made of a tough wood and stone sharpened to a point.
