Destiny

Chapter 2

The next morning I got up and headed downstairs and told my mother that I was going into town to sell the buck. She gave me 3 silver pieces so I could purchase my lunch and by my lunch I mean the lunch that Ahsoka will steal half of and say I didn't do it. 

I grabbed my bow and arrows sitting next to the door and headed outside with Ahsoka on my tail. I picked up the buck and tied it onto Ahsoka's back to carry and off we went.

About an hour later and 15 games of eye spy later we finally had arrived to town. This town was one of my favourite places next to the woods and my bed. Sometimes when I was feeling down I would head up here and set on the town hall building and just watch the world go by.

 I'd smell the fresh bread baking at Mr. Eliason's Bakery and watch as kids try to steal the delicious sweet bread cooling on the window sill. He would always pretend not to see but I always saw the smile on his face when the kids dug into the bread. 

It was also quite entertaining to watch the Mr. Pfiefer try to round up the sneaky kids and get them back in that god forsaken school building to "learn". I remember when that was me sneaking off to hide in the woods. Sitting in a desk all day never really clicked with me.

I was beginning to get completely lost in my thoughts when I heard howl beneath me. I look down to see Ahoska trying to climb the building. Dork, I thought. 

I heard that, Ahsoka thought to me. 

You were supposed to. Hence me thinking it to you, I think with a smirk.

Whatever. Let's go. I want to get home before dark.

Since when are you the responsible one, I think over exaggerated resulting in getting a glare/eye role from him,

"All right. All right. I'm coming."

I jumped down from the building and headed off to the Butcher's Shop to sell the buck with Ahsoka pushing me the whole way.

When we finally got to the shop I stopped Ahsoka and untied the buck from his back. I was about the open the door when Ahoska looked like he was about ready to dash in.

"Oh, no you don't," I say while grabbing his tail to drag him back resulting in him nipping me. "Ouch that hurt!"

Well, having my tailed pulled didn't feel to good either, he thinks to me with a snarl. 

"Sorry, but you have to wait out here."

But, whyyy??

"Because last time you jumped the counter knocked him over and ate half of his products before I even had two feet through the door."

Fine but you better bring me back something. I gave him a sigh and headed inside. 

Right when I walk in I hear a whizzing sound and turn to see a knife stuck in the wall. I'm guessing he was still pissed about the last time I was here. 

"Tiny, how's it going?" I ask with an amused smile. Tiny on the other hand was not amused at all. 

"I thought I told you to never come back after what you did," he scuffed at me. 

I started walking closer to him and his eyes seem to have finally fallen upon the buck I was carrying. Instead of anger in his eyes they filled with greed. 

"Aw come on I said I was sorry. And I paid you for the damage my arrows through your window may or may not have caused..." I say trying to pull off my most innocent look I could, but sadly I don't think this guy had and feels in his over pumped heart. 

"Hmm, yes in squirrels."

"Which in return you sold to these lovely towns people for money. Am I right?" He just proceeded to stare at me. "Any who. You want to continue this lovely staring contest or would you like to buy this buck I've been holding this entire time?"

"Fine."

I lifted the buck up and set it down on the very "clean" counter and Tiny began inspecting it. This time around being more particular than normal. Let's just say I was getting a wee bit impatient. I mean do you have to check every tooth in the mouth? What are you planning to do with them exactly? You know what I'd rather not know...

"I'll give you...20 gold pieces no more no less," Tiny said with a smirk. Please tell me this guy is joking. I swear I feel like punching this guy and letting Ahsoka snarf down his entire inventory this time. 

"You have got to be kidding me! When's the last time you saw a buck this big, let alone a buck at all," I accuse outraged. 

"When did you become such an "expert" on the matter?" he asked sarcastically.

"Since I talked to Pfiefer the last time you ripped me off with that turkey. He is an expert on the matter," I say snidely. "So based on the fact that it's 300 pounds and that I'm the only one who seems to tolerate you...I'd say 400 gold pieces and you give me a ration for my friend."

He looked like he was about to yell a few choice words at me but stopped when he saw something behind me. I figured it was Ahsoka making wolf faces at him again, but when I turned around I did'nt see anything out of the ordinary (yes I count Ahsoka mooning Tiny normal). 

When I turned around he litarally threw my ration and money at me (which hurt by the way) and then physically threw me out of the shop resulting in my landing on my butt. When I turned around he turned the open sign to close and I swear I heard him whimper.

What was that about?, Ahsoka thought to me.

"I have no idea... Did you see any-" I was cutt off by seeing a giant red dragon land 50 feet away from us behind Ahsoka.

"Holy sh-. Run!" I screamed.

He began to turn around to see what I was going on about, but before he did I pulled his tail and ran for our lives as fast as we could. Wish us luck...we're gonna need it.
