?'s POV:

5 years later

I'm glad that I ran away from my foster parents.

I could do whatever I wanted now.

I am 20 after all.

I walk back to my shed with a rabbit I caught.

I start up a fire and skin the rabbit.

Placing the meat on a sheet of metal over the fire, I grab my water bottle.

I run to the river and get some fresh water.

Sitting down by the fire I drink some.

Once the rabbit is done I put it on a piece of cardboard.

Standing up I walk into my shed and sit on my bed.

I grab my knife and fork and start to eat.

I finish my rabbit and put my things away.

I lay back down on my bed.

I start to fall asleep when I hear rustling outside.

I quickly throw water on my fire and lock the shed door.

Closing the windows and burning out my candle.

The footsteps grow louder and I hear knocking on the door.

I slow my breathing and crawl under my covers.

"I know someone is in there. I've been watching you for awhile now." A male voice says.

"Trust me. I won't hurt you." He says.

I get out of my bed, quickly unlock the door and bolt under the bed.

He opens the door and steps in.

"You really now how to live in the wild. Eh(like Canadians)."

He sighs, "Why doesn't anyone trust me."

I take a deep breath and speak quietly, "It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that my weapon arsenal is out of reach. Except for this." I unsheathe a knife.

He gasps and I crawl out from under the bed.

I stand up, pointing the knife at him.

I drop it once I see him.

Brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, a shirt that says Power Moves Only, scars on his arms.

He leans down and picks it up.

I snatch it from him, "Thanks."

"No problem. By the way, the names Mitch." He says, sticking out his hand.

"Ash. Not short for anything." I say shaking his hand.

He smiles, "Well Ash. You are quite skilled in the forest and river. If you'd like, there is a spare room at the Team Crafted house(they are in LA)."

I nod, "I'll take it. I take it there is other guys?"

He smiles and nods, "Four others(Jason, Ian(I think he is still in, correct me if not), Jerome and Ryan)."

"Let me collect my things and you can take me there."
