The New Kid (Anyone wanna join?)

I slowly crept up the steep, curved hill as carefully as I could without waking up the sleeping hellhound next to me. "SNAP!" A branch broke under my foot. Luckily, the hellhound didn't budge. I wiped the sweat off of my forehead as I continued. I was almost to the edge of the clearing when- "CAW! CAW!" The Blackbird landed on my shoulder. "Oh, Gods." I exclaimed, running for my life.
