Chapter 8: New technology

"WAKE UP"! Ryo shouted, whacking me with a pillow. "ok, ok, just stop" I laughed. I got up and threw a pillow back at Ryo. He then lifted a rock out of the ground and threw it at me. I dived out of the way just in time. " easy there" Jack yelled as he ran into the cave. "Ryo you are taking it to far again" Slice whispered in Ryo's ear. I walked outside to get away from Ryo . Dylan was feeding ruby, the raft was still tied to the rock and the campfire was only ashes. " I think I will get some more firewood" I told Dylan. ( Dylan is not a shifter but he can control plasma). I climbed up the cliff face using the little twigs sticking out of the rock. Suddenly I felt talons wrapping around my shoulders. I twisted my head around to try and see who or what grabbed me. I tried to see but my human head could not turn that far. " need help?" The thing behind me asked
"Jack?"
"Yeah"
"It's you"
"Duh of course"
"ok"
He dropped me off at the top of the cliff.
"thanks"
"No prob"
I  waved to Jack as he flew back to camp.
Then I continued my trek for "firewood". I used fire to launch myself up to the top of a oak tree. I went shifter and used my claws to slice the big branches off. Then I gathered all the branches up together and threw them down the cliff. Then a  bullet hole appeared right beside my foot. I went shifter and turned around to see another bullet whiz past my face. A soldier was pointing his gun at my head "don't move" he said. I turned back into human and let him arrest me. He shoved me into his car and got in the drivers seat. " Don't even try to escape" he said. I tryed to go shifter but I just felt a electric shock. "what" I yelled. "This truck will not let you go shifter" he shouted back.
