>“He says he can fight I wanna see” Eliot stood in front of Mara’s sack

Mara placed his blade on the sack and went to stand Eliot pushed him back down

Eliot grinned “Co down there?”

Mara tried again, but Eliot did the saer than him, almost the size of a man Mara looked at Joseph, who smirked

Balin stood and pulled on Eliot’s shoulder “Leave him”

Eliot pushed Balin away “I’ll fuck you up Just like I did before”

Balin stayed back, and Eliot turned back to Mara “Come on then, up”

Mara stood and looked to the other two boys

“They ain’t gonna help you” Eliot stepped forward, fists clenched

Mara’s back hit the door when he stepped away Eliot lunged forith a jab Mara ducked and dived for his sack, Eliot’s fist hitting the door

“You fucking idiot” Joseph quickly lay down and pulled over his sheet

Balin did the same as Eliot hurried back to his sack

A Shadow opened the door, stepped in, and looked around “Outside”

Sandy water covered Mara’s feet as he and the three teenagers stood in a courtyard, thunder boo his face and hands He was cold, his thin black clothes sticking to him like a new skin

A Shadoatched over the came It didn’t seem bothered by the rain and didn’t shiver like him or the other boys
