I hugged uncle Merle as he stood by the car to leave into the city"your gonna be okay right"I asked a hint of fear I didn't like showing my emotions .

"Sure kid"I was pretty sure Merle was nicer to me then anybody else even his own brother he treated me better then my dad.

Merle took his hand from my curly hair"Make sure your dad dosan't Dick around while I'm gone"I giggled noding my head"I will uncle Merle"

He smiled down at me"stay strong kid your favorite person will be back soon"He hopped in the car just as Dad walked up behind me.

"Lets go huntin"I nodded with a smile I loved it when we went hunting I picked up everything my dad did he even taught me how to use his crossbow.

It was harded then normal. I was only 11 the crossbow was heavy and bigger than me"Yo old man I'm goin huntin"Dale looked down from his Rv at us"Come back soon"

We didn't really talk to the others we stayed by ourselves it made us feel safe. The only person I talked to out of our family was Glenn if you don't tell people things then they cant use it against you later.

But Glenn was different I can tell him things he's My brother in a way even though if I told Uncle Merle or even dad  they well tell me off so I keep that to myself .

I slowly walked along my dad as we walked In the woods"Dad"I whispered he looked up at me"what"I bit my lip griping onto my knife .

"I don't think we should go along with uncle Merles plan to leave"He stopped in his tracks and looked down at me"whys that"

I sighed shaking my head"we cant leave Dad They need us there not strong enough without us"Dad looked like he was at war with himself.

"We have to do what Merle wants you know how your uncle is"I frowned as we started ahead again"I don't want to leave Dad"he shook his head angrily"Enough about the plan"

I looked down quickly"How long is this hunting trip gonna last"He looked down at me"Longer if you keep talkin your scaring the Animals"

Dad wasn't always like this it was only when we brought up Uncle Merle and I knew are life before wasn't that great every time I went to grandpa's house he would abusive me

I still had a scar from the man we didn't have money so we hunted for food I didn't even go to school but the way dad explained it if I did I would want to leave as soon as I got there

We walked in the woods for awhile stepping over a log every time one got in are way"we should set up camp here"I nodded leaning on a tree"im gonna go get fire wood"He walked away from me without another word

I pulled out my wood carving that I been working on its gonna be a small owl when it's done this was something I did even before I was a self learner and I was really good at it so I've heard

It always filled a vode whenever I thought of wanting a mom I just focused on this and all if a sudden I didn't want a mom anymore I loved what I had all I need is uncle Merle and my dad

<~>

In the morning we put out the fire and started are hunting trip once again I spotted a track that looked like a dear morning were always the best time to hunt

"Dad"I whispered he sighed looking over at me"Deer tracks"I whispered pointing at the tracks Dad smiled with pride patting my back before he followed the tracks

I was always looking for approval from my dad no matter if he gave me it Daily I always felt the need to prove myself"These look faint"dad said looking down at them

"Yeah but not to faint it was here yesterday at least"I told him even though I know he knew even before I did he was the one who taught me everything about hunting

"Maybe its still in the area"He hummed I figured I needed to be quite so he can hunt I smiled I love the forest it was my safe zone away from the others I loved the smell I've been told by Dad I smelled like the forest

It was a complement to me because I loved the smell"Dad"I whispered spotting the dear I couldn't help be smile at the gorgeous animal

"I see it"he whispered shooting it the Arrow sticking itselfs in the deer at least were gonna have some good food I love dear meat"Trix come on"Dad yelled as we ran after it

Trix was my Dad's nickname for me he didn't want to call me Bella he said most people with the name Bellatrix they choose Bella for there nickname he wanted mine to be different

We ran after it for awhile maybe three or four miles before we lost sight of it"Damn it"Dad looked around the area"Were close to camp"I looked up at him"I know"

"Come on"He followed down the path of blood before he spotted the dead again he put another arrow in the deer that's one tough dear most of the time dad takes it down with just one

"Can I cook it this time"I asked with a smile"sure why not"I was happy he was letting me"why don't you go catch some squirrels"Dad stopped in his tracks and looked down at me

I looked at him with a smile"yes sir"I ran in the opposite direction since I didn't have a bow I used my knife

I found it kinda odd how he all of a sudden as we were running stopped and told me to go get squirrels

I was all for it anyway I slowed down my steps knife in hand I was glad dad had taught me this stuff if I was ever lost or by myself I would know how to hunt

I smiled once I saw squirrel climbing a tree I threw the knife at it stuck right in the squirrels head that's the part we normally don't eat so that's the part I try to hit the most

I walked up to the tree and pulled the knife out of the tree and put the furry animal on my line around my waist I fixed my sleevless leather jacket that got rufeld

It was kinda big on me but it was a gift from dad so I keep it on he had one himself and so did uncle Merle I keep killing squirrels intell I got at least 12 of them"Trix"I turned to face dad"I lost the deer again"

I rolled my eyes"Nice load"I smiled down at my waist that had all my squirrels"I learned from the best"I pointed my head towards the deer that ran past us a ways away"There"He nodded

We took of running once again following the dear"we don't have to run its slowin down"We slowed are pace"I want a crossbow"Dad looked over at me"May ask that one kid ya hang with to look for one"

I placed my hands in my back pocket as we got closer to camp Merle should be back buy the time we get there I don't think the storm yesterday would have delayed them but it could have

"You knew"he looked at me with knowing eyes"I keep an eye on ya and it's not hard to tell when ya leave yer tent in the middle of the night to go talk to him"I sighed and looked down

"Your not disappointed are you"I was scared for him to say he was I wouldn't know what to do with myself"I could never be"I smiled up at him"Thanks dad"He nodded avoiding eye contact

He always did that when there was a serious moment between us it was nothing new dad wasn't great at emotions either I geuss that's ware I for it from"Come on"I nodded and followed him
