Heroism and Harshness

Chapter Nine

Becky then saw the guards drift off the hill as she happily strolled through the Hub. She felt like she was free now, not having to do all of the cruel labor that the prisoners do! She then saw some Hubians glare at her for all of the mayhem of searching but she didn't care! The guards were gone and she now had to worry about the woods.

The woods made her shiver as she glimpsed them far away from the Hub. Becky haven't been in the restricted woods before. She have tried going in before but she have always gotten caught. The woods looked very nice and peaceful to her on the outside but inside it was lot of craziness. Guard sheds and guards were scouting for any Hubian if they ever escape. Hubians were very close to the woods as King Frost didn't want anyone in the woods. He though that they might go in the woods to hide as they might travel to the castle which they weren't allowed to do. He wanted them to be cut down but he soon forgot about that. Besides, the trees and flowers smelled dazzling and were dazzling.

Becky then saw the woods from a distance. She wasn't sure if she were ready yet to go in. Once again, there were guards everywhere so if she gets caught, then she will go back to the prison and who knows what she'll get. No prisoner had ever gotten in the woods before as Becky wondered: What punishment would she get? She might be the second person to be sent to The Torture. "Maybe a huge beating." She thought as she continued to walk to the woods.

It was scary for her to walk into the woods. Not only would she need to hide from countless guards, she had no idea of how to survive the woods. She might get really hungry and who knows, faint in the woods. Then, guards will discover and take her back to prison. Becky then walked up to the woods as she had no idea of how to hunt. Maybe she could steal from guard sheds in the woods.

Becky then almost got into the woods when another fear had gotten to her. Animals. She had knew about the scary, ferocious animals because of all the carpets in the castle. The carpets are bear, lion, tiger and wolf fur. Becky then knew that these animals were real because she once asked Princess Addie about it. Sometimes, she will answer a question about the castle.

Becky then walked in as it was like a whole new world to be entered in. The dry, humid ground with little houses turned into a huge, grassy floor with gigantic trees that stretched up to the sky. Becky had never saw trees before but had heard stories about them. She heard that they were huge and hard as stones. She heard about the beautiful leaves that sprouted on top of the trees. "Wow," Becky gushed in amazement.

She then saw birds going on the tree! Birds! Becky had never saw such a fluttery, small creature. The sparkly tiny creature landed on a nest with little sticks, feeding it's babies. Becky was glued to watching this. She never saw such thing.

Becky then watched how the mother bird flew away to find more food and then there wasn't so much to see. The bay birds just chirped. Becky then knew that she had to also be like a mother bird and find food for herself. She then looked around, hoping to find something. She searched through plants, hoping to find food there. She never been in the woods before as she didn't know what food was in there. She didn't even know that you have to kill animals to eat.

Becky then saw a beautiful bush, filled with flowers. She had only seen flowers very few times in her life. Sometimes on spring days, she got a glimpse of the dazzling garden, packed with gushing flowers on display. Becky sniffed the exquisite flowers. They smelled better than anything else! the prison rotted like crazy. This smell was like luxury.

She searched for food on the bush but couldn't find anything. She didn't know what food looked liked in the woods.

Becky then found a tree as she sat down in the shade. She had to think. Becky thought a lot. Escaping, equal rights, Jeff. Sometimes when she was stuck in a situation, she had to mediate.

The warn, hot sun shone on Becky. Becky had felt the rays of the sun when she was rarely outside. She loved it as it felt like the sun was stroking her.

Becky then started to fall asleep. The heat of the warm sun was making her fall asleep. Becky was also very tired as she tried to fall asleep in the Hub. then, the heated spell made her torpidly fall asleep. Becky then laid, un alert in the wild woods. Little did she know what will happen to her next.
