A:N Okay, so this is KIND OF cheating, but whatever. I wrote this Saturday, October 08th, 2016 (I'm not magic. The date is displayed), but I just love it so much that I had to share it! Plus, it fits the prompt like a glove, don't you think?

"Choose a side."
Algaetha rocked back and forth on her heels, glaring at the boy before her. He couldn't just pull this on her!
"I thought you were my friend," she spat, her brows furrowed. He just smiled his stupid, plastic smile. "You thought wrong, then."
She wanted to throw herself onto him, to hammer on him with no mercy. To watch his stupid, smug little smile melt off his face. The only thing holding her back wasn't her conscience. It was the fact that he was guarded by three heavily armed people. She couldn't tell their genders, as masks obscured their faces
Algaetha was a hardy girl of sixteen, but she couldn't take on the three knight like people. Instead, she cast her gaze at a puddle on the ground. She could hardly recognise herself.
Since leaving the safety of the wall, her blonde hair was tied in a messy ponytail using a dirty elastic band. Her normally pale complexion had darkened to an olive tone in her time spent in the harsh, unforgiving sun.
She was thinner than she had been before. Much thinner. She felt tired most of the time like her limbs had bricks tied to them. Her top and jeans were ravaged, and the only things protecting her feet were the bandages she'd hastily applied once they started bleeding.
"Look at me." "No," she spat. A hand grabbed her jaw and lifted her head. She was now staring into the dark brown, traitorous eyes of Jack Pipp.
He had longish blond hair tied in a small braid and an olive complexion much like hers. He was tall and thin like her, but he was just as dirty.
She glared and her fist went swinging into his face.He screamed in surprise and pain and let go of her. He held his now bleeding nose, his hands shaking at his sides.
Algaetha grinned at the sight of the little jerk in such a state, but her smile fell when she notice the boy's guards brandishing spears in her face.
"No, don't kill her." Jack's face was a mask of morbid interest. "Never seen no one fight back like that before. Maybe I underestimated you."
"You did," she snarled.
Jack smiled his stupid smile. "You've underestimated me too. Do you really think you take me down with a little swing of your little fist? Pathetic."
Algaetha twisted her face into a grimace and heard the stupid laughter of stupid Jack. Her eyes darted behind her, at the dark expanse of the woods that could be her escape, her freedom. She fixated her gaze back on Jack, and flashed his stupid smile right back at him, before turning on her heels and running. She heard Jack scream in surprise behind her. It was a beautiful sound, and she laughed, racing into the woods.
The jagged edges of branches slapped her face and the waterlogged soil grabbed at her feet and dirtied her bandages but she still laughed. She was free, free! Algaetha tripped over a root and went spilling into the mud, but she still laughed. She clenched some roots and pulled herself out of the mud before taking off her bandages and scattering them in different directions. She rose to her feet and continued to run until her legs felt ready to fall off.
She dropped to the ground and rolled into a small ditch. The ground was covered in moss and lichen, and even in her exhausted state, she was able to lug some branches towards the edge and prop them up against the wall.
Algaetha was able to crawl underneath and fall asleep within minutes, a smile still plastered on her face.
She awoke the next morning a bit confused. Why was it so dark? Why was the ground so cold?
It all came back. The wall, the branches, the ditch, and though she would have liked to forget him, Jack Pipp.
She pulled herself out of the ditch, and she started to walk through the woods until she came to the clearing where Jack had been the previous day. His other prisoners weren't there, and she felt a lump in her throat. If they weren't there, where were they?
Algaetha gulped and broke into a run. She had to find them! It was how she'd gotten captured in the first place, searching for the other prisoners.
They found her first, and they brandished weapons in her face. Algaetha stumbled back, and a flurry of words flooded out of her mouth. "I can help you!" The people looked confused. "Help... us?"
"Yes, help you! Jack won't help you, I can! You don't like Jack, I don't either, we need to band together!" "We're not pointing these at you, we're pointing them at him."
Behind her stood the traitorous Jack Pipp, and before she knew what was happening, a weapon was in her hands and this time, Jack was the one who was running.
