Trust is something only reserved for certain individuals, individuals that you would Dedicate your life to. Trust is a belief in a probability that a person will behave in certain ways. Trust. You give it to others and you get it back, but if you break it there is no telling if it will ever mend.

Damion:

I woke up staring at the ceiling. I sighed and sat up.

"Jesus took you long enough," Jack said as I rolled my eyes. I hated it here. I had to get out of this damn shit show.

"Oh shut up." I muttered I hated having to be like this but if i even showed one fucking weakness, they'd have my head. I stood and walked to the edge of the camp. These lunatics would give me the hardest task ever today I'm sure of it. They hated me because I was the newbie, the idiot, the errand boy and I hated it. I would have to work my way up.

"Oi! Aaron or whatever your name is. Get over here!" the boss of the camp yelled I winced walking over to him

"Yes, your highness?" I asked sarcastically

"Need you to go get us some food. Take these" he said handing me a bunch of hunting tools including a knife and a bow I sighed I knew what i had to do. I walked into the woods and to a trading shack trading in the bow for a few pieces of string and a bunch of meat. I pulled out the knife and went to a small berry bush picking a few and squeezing them out on the knife as if it were blood. I walked to a small clearing of the forest where i had a lot of my stored gear and food I threw a few pieces of meat into the fridge in the small cabin I walked out grabbing a few sticks and walking back to the camp they were packing up I sighed

"You. stay behind to make sure we're not followed." someone said. I sighed they all packed everything up and moved. I knew one of the scouts would come and get me when they had it all set up. I sat on the grass waiting, a rustle of leaves was heard as a bunch of crows flew out. I stood that couldn't be good. A branch broke I pulled the still present knife out and held it up defensively I was jumped from behind and the knife flew from my hand i was pinned by none other than my ex-friend Vinter I easily flipped the situation jumping off him to grab my knife i rolled to a crouching pose and sprang up turning to him Vinter was already on his feet I had my knife out someone lunged at me from the sideI sidestepped her attack and hit her in the back with the bottom of the knife turning back to lunge at Vinter but before i could I was tripped I landed on my back and rolled to Vinters feet pulling my feet to my chest kicking his shins I rolled into a crouching pose standing quickly and pivoting to attack the other third person--a girl--just then a fourth came out of nowhere i sidestepped them and continued to try and get vinter. That's something i learned with this group of traveling thugs take one hostage and all the rest will leave you alone and I knew Vinters weakness I continuously kicked him in the shins keeping him off balance i grabbed his shirt collar and shoved him to the ground Dodging a punch from another person they tripped over vinter and landed on the ground

"Watch it!" He yelled getting up and lunging at me again I dodged Stepping on the back of his knee effectively taking him down I pulled him up and put the knife on his neck

"Woah! Let him go." The second guy told me I rolled my eyes

"Back off or I'll stab him." I growled

"Who are you and why are you after me?" I asked the girl who attacked me third glared intensely at me.

"We don't have to tell you and we're not after you." The guy said

"You do and you attacked me." I growled

"Fine. I'm Thrae. This is Anon, and Dak, Clover get over here!" He yelled another girl walked out the two other guys had wings and so did the girl Thrae called Clover
