I actually had this done some time ago .-.

It's now day 2 of our super fun cave hideout adventure! I am the first one there, so yea, I have to do all the early day labor.

I'm left panting when I drop the weapons that Red handed me yesterday. I guess this is our official new training spot. Yay! But, what exactly are we training against? This is a question that just suddenly came to me. Doing this is great, don't get me wrong. It's just, after I got in trouble for having a bow and arrow, I started to think. Are these weapons even necessary? I'm sure been is a safe happy place. Does it have.something to do with Riley? Well i don't have time to think about these thoughts now, because Red was the first one to arrive, and it is my duty to give her a big hug.

It is now a bit before the afternoon. The sun is barely right above us, but the cave gives us shelter from the heat. There was a big enough whole in the cave where we could store our weapons and there are many over sides rocks, craters and what not to use as targets. All is super well. Except for the fact that Nik isn't here. Did he get the message? It isn't perfect unroll all my friends are here. If he doesn't show up at one point, I'm gonna think he’s dead. So then I'm gonna start freaking out. To be honest, the last time I “saw” him was in the Red Arkin incident… but I shouldn't think about these things. I should really be enjoying the fact that Red and Newt and i are here all together.

Well, i decided to try and not think about this. I decided to bring out the question i’ve been wondering for a bit.

I walked over to Red and Newt. Newt was batting his hatchet against this collom like rock. Red was using her glaves to not only slash against the wall, writing her name in a very cool and fancy font. Pretty…. Anyway.

“hey guys.” I said. They both turned around and faced me. I took a breath.

“since, most of us, are here, I wanted to bring up something I've been asking…”

“yea, this place is really cool, and its nice that you could lend us your beach cave as a hang out newt,” Red said to Newt. The expression on his face told me it was weird for him to get a compliment from Red. “But is anyone else wondering why Nik isnt here yet? Cora did you send everyone the notes? Do you think he didn't get them?” said Red “of course I left the notes for everyone. I was wondering the same. But it's better we don't think about that or else we'll all be sad and that won't be good. What I was saying before is that.. why are we training with weapons?” they all stood for a second.

“well, because Riley gave them to us, and we've trained with them before. Besides, they do as protection.” implied Red.

“yea, I guess. But what protection? Who are we training against?” Red opened her mouth then closed it. Both Red and Newt looked like they had something to say.

“Well, Cora, what about the fire. We know it wasn't us, so it could of been some dangerous person. After all, imagine if one of us was in there when it happened?” said Red slowly.

The fire. But.. what if it wasn't a human. But I can't say these thing, I thought as I fumbled with the weird shape objects that we're possible scales. I had to think of another reason why.

“yea, but… if it was a seemingly dangerous human, maybe they weren't so dangerous.” I said. That's a start. “I mean, after the while dog incident, I saw that that animal wasn't vicious. It was just scared and lost. This could be the same for humans. There always had to be a reason why their so mean and savage and…” I suddenly started thinking of Mr. Smith. Could this apply to him?

“Well, my point is. Maybe we don't need weapons. Reasoning and positivity usually always works to solve a problem doesn't it?” They both looked at me with weird expressions.

“look Cora, there could be some people like the people you described, but most people are bad.” Newt suddenly started talking. “So I'm not sure if hugging or discussing about people's problems are always gonna be the solution.”

I sighed. I guess there isn't really a point arguing with these guys.

If they are fine with training with weapons, I shouldn't take that away from them. So as they continued to strike and slash at walls, I sighed again and lazily shot an arrow at a far away target.

This is their way to fight, but not mine. If a time does come,(which it wont) I'll try and fight my way.
