We've been home for 4 months. While at home we shared our riches w/ our family. We left w/ 5000 gold we returned w/ 2 billion gold. Since we want to look after our people too we put a good sum in our treasury. We made sure to have 10000 in our ready at anytime bags.
"Hey girls! You know we should start getting ready for the hunt!" Mom says as she and aunty Sam race towards us.
"Wait... REALLY?!" We ask excitedly.
"Yep!" They chorus. Now yes my sister isn't the greatest hunter but that doesn't stop her from having fun w/ us or from catching a few prey. The great hunt was mom's idea. Before she joined our uncles and aunts she would see other kids and her siblings having big birthdays thrown for them. She always wanted that. And when she ran into our aunts and uncles they gave her the best they could and she was more than thankful for that. But when she established her little whatever you would call us she made a point to where every child was known and got to celebrate their birthday in a big way. And to do that we have a great hunt for those who from 10 and up. 10 because they're close to being teens. And teens start taking jobs and stuff so it's for them to know that at least 1 time during the year they can let loose and relieve pent up stress and everything. The hunt provides food for our great big barbecue. Now we do farm and stuff but we can't breed enough to support it but the rest of the year more of the wild animals breed more and stuff. Plus we always release 1 from the litter back into the wild. But we have so many chickens and other birds that we have plenty of eggs for a great big cake. At the barbecue if you haven't guess is where we celebrate everyone's birthday. Even if they had pasted or haven't happened yet. But we do tell each other happy birthday when it's their actual birthday.
"So which one of us three are going to win this year?" I ask challengely.
"Are those fighting words I hear?" Mom asks.
"If the shoe fits!" I replied.
"Ha! Sounds like the pup! Is getting to be a feisty little kitty! Just like her mother!" Aunty Sam says as she turns to mom.
"Ok enough. None of you will win if you hunt each other before it happens!" Willow says.
"Fine!" We whine knowing she's right.
"So whens the hunt starting?" I ask.
"Tomorrow." Mom answers.
"Thanks and good night!" I say walking away. Soon mom and Aunt Sam followed after me. We always go to bed really early when the Great hunt is near. The Great Hunt starts on the full moon. And tomorrow is the first day in a new month. That means we get 2 weeks of hunting and 2 weeks of celebration!
"Everyone should know the rules. But I'll say them for good measures anyways!" The initiator announce. He just going to say no stealing others prey and stuff. I'm not paying attention to him because me, mom and aunt Sam are in the midst of an epic stare down till he allows us to go free. That is till he broke us out of our trance. "And there is an additional rule this year! No fighting each other or causing harm purposefully to each other!"
"What?!" Me, mom, and aunt Sam asks. Everyone just has a knowing smile on their faces.
"Your family made this for you three specifically." The initiator says. So we play a bit rough w/ each other. But we never hurt out people. But just because the last few hunts we kinda restrained injuries worthy of hospitalization and still kept hunting they went and added this. We shrugged it off and got ready again. Then he began the hunt.
"....Heather has 564 prey, Sam has 600 prey, and Astrid has 1674 prey!" The initiator announces. I look at my family proudly. They all look shocked minus Willow.
"Is there anything left in the forest!?" Mama asks.
"Yes." I say.
"How did you manage that?!" Mom and aunt Sam asks.
"I took it easy but yeah running from psycho hunters can help." I say. We all laugh. Soon the festivities started. We have just finished our first week of celebration when we were interrupted.
"Astrid! I can't believe you managed to hide for so long! Oh well come out and I won't kill half the people here!" The familiar voice of the witch says. "Also O got those hunters on my way here and we came to an agreement!" She adds.
"Um excuse me but who the fuck are you?!" Mom asks.
"Oh! You must be the mother! I'm your daughter's future wife!" The witch says. "Oh and there she is!" The witch sings when she sees me. Me and Willow race into the woods. "Bad choice sweetheart!" The witch says as we run deeper into the woods.
"Nighty night loves!" Familiar voices say as I start to loose consciousness. I wake up but I can tell that I'm blindfolded and restrained in a chair. But they didn't gag me?
"When is she gonna wake up?!" A voice asks.
"I should be asking you! You're the one who gave us the knock out potion thingy!" Another says.
"Hold on." The first voice says. Next thing I know I'm no longer blind folded.
"So you were awake!" The witch says.
"So both her and her sister just woke up but didn't do anything? What the hell?!" Merida says.
"I'm sure you already guessed this but you're in my home!" The witch tells me.
"Fuck! Also where the hell is my sister!?!"
