"Wake up! Wake up!"
Hope let out a huge yawn and opened her eyes sleepily, wondering what all of the fuss was about. She insantly spotted a pure white dove perched on her chest, peaking at her head. "Wake up!" It squawked again.
"I'm awake." Hope grumbled, sitting up in her bed. "What's so important, Dew? Has someone fallen out of their tree again?"
"No!" The dove chirped. "There's an intruder in our camp!"
Hope was up and getting changed right away, putting a clean t-shirt over her vest and changing her jeans to shorts. She poked her head out of the window, letting the cool air wash over her.
"Hurry up!" Dew scolded her, perching on the wooden roof. "Follow me!"
Swiftly, Hope leapt onto a branch beside her snug treehouse and started climbing. This had been one of the few advantages of loosing time, that Hope's Tribe were able to climb trees and live in them.
As she finally reached the top, Hope spotted Dew perched on a small branch, a brown net beside her. In the net laid a large woodpigeon tangled up in the thread.
"It's just a Healer's companion!" Hope snapped at Dew. "You dragged me out of bed early to alert me about a completely harmless Healer?"

"He still trespassed!" Dew protested, her feathers ruffled in fury.
"Shut up for once, okay? You'll be doing everyone a favour." Hope mumbled, untangling the young woodpigeon. He stared at her with terrified eyes, so she gently hushed him. "Who are you?"
"I'm Jam." The pigeon stammered. "Sam's companion. I'm from over the river."
Hope pictured Sam in her mind. He was smaller than most in his Tribe, but he was sent down by The Light, the place sheltering the deceased ones. The Light had been kind recently, as they had sent Hope's Tribe two potential members; Griffin and Rogue. She wasn't sure how the other Tribe were doing, but she now knew they were sending spies.
"Fly away home." Dew spat. "Fly away and never return, Jam."
Flicking his gaze cautiously across the trees, the pigeon lifted his wings and took off into the sky, not looking back.
"Well, that went well." Hope sighed, begining to climb down the tree. Suddenly, Dew let out a shrill cry of alarm. "Watch out!"
Shocked, Hope let go of the branch and let out a scream as she plummeted to the ground.
Nearby, a boy about Hope's age had spotted the young girl falling. He instantly darted over, just in time to catch the pretty girl in his arms.
"Thank God you showed up, Raven." Hope sighed. "That would have been embarassing if everyone had seen that, seeing as I'm supposed to be a Captain."
"Lucky I'm the only one who saw you fall then." Raven said, grinning in amusement. He let the 14 year old rise to her feet, who then thanked him with a quick hug.
"Hey there, Hope!" A cheerful voice cried out from the treetops. Hope stepped away from Raven and stared up, only to see her sister Glory. She was wearing a muddy pair of jeans and a bright yellow t-shirt with a white star on the front. She wore no shoes either, which was perfectly normal.
"Good sleep?" Hope asked, which in response her sister nodded as she leapt from the branch she was sitting on. Hope had always felt a slight jealousy towards her sister, as Glory was the
