As the days went by the rumours of my offer had begun to spread throughout the camp like wildfire. Everything was falling into place quite nicely. I knew I was gaining new followers by the day. Starting the revolution. I didn't know when my plan would fall into action, all I knew was how.

      As the spring weather god warmer, the days grew nicer. Everyone was happier with the smell of lilies and dandelions. The leaves had started to grow back onto the trees, as well as the annual flowers. The bushes had gotten fuller and started to grow an assortment of berries. The fields were littered with flowers. It was overall just a better experience.

      Every day, I was reminded of a meal and escorted to the location of that meal. Over the days I had noticed more and more people actually started to have civilised conversations with me. I was no longer a prisoner to them, I was family. Today was no different.

      James had walked with me to lunch as normal, though I had more freedom this time.

      "Hey, how's the ankle feeling today?" He asked

      "It's feeling pretty decent actually, it's still hard to walk, but it doesn't hurt so,"

      "Good to hear, one of the people at the med bay told me to ask,"

      "Oh?"

      "Yeah, they had offered to bring you a wheelchair if it still hurt, but it seems to be healing well,"

      "It is, I think we may be able to take the cast off soon, coming up on the six-week mark pretty quick," I stated before we arrived at the main bit of the camp. James had grabbed my food for me and we sat down toward the centre of the camp. A few of the boys said hello, and joined us at our seats.

      "Hi, Ruby!" Nathaniel, one of the youngest boys at the camp had said as he said straight across from me. He seemed to be about six or seven, he had shaggy brown hair and green eyes.

      "Hi, Nate! How are you doing today?" I asked

      "Good, I got a new bike today!"

      "You did? Do you like it?"

      "Yeah, you wanna see?"

      "Yeah, sure!" I said before he zipped off to grab his bike. He brought it back with the brightest smile on his face. "Oh wow, that's a good one isn't it,"

      "Mhmm!" He said setting down the bike. We spent the rest of the meal talking, a few of the other boys had gathered around as well. One of them had brought a book that they had recommended I read. I flipped through the first few pages, it seemed like it would be interesting.

      "Hey Ruby, could you tell us the story about the bird?" Nathaniel asked

      "Of course," I said before beginning my story. " I was walking through Birmingham last spring with a doughnut and a cup of coffee just enjoying the day. When all of a sudden, a pigeon swooped down and took a bite out of my doughnut..." I started
