Chapter 9: Go for hunted!

Chapter 9

A week in the heavy forest. No more foods, no more water. We're weak now. I get up early with the freezing weather. I thirty. I hungry. It's a first morning that hasn't got any foods. My chocolate cake and two jars of instant coffee, I've been share to all girls. I'm not waiting. 

"Amy! Amy! Get up!" I awake her. 

"Hey! What are you doing?" she asked. 

"I have to find some foods for them. Look! They haven't had any food," I said and prepare something in my sweater, "Do you go with me?" I asked. 

"Where do you get from?" she asked during she get up. 

"In this forest! I have a knife!" I said and show her my multi-use knife. 

"You can hunt???" she wondered. I didn't answer. Of course, I can hunt. I have been done that with my friends when I go camping.One of my friends taught me to throw the knife and I can do it well. Maybe now I can get some foods for them. "I hope so!" I answered and leave her to the forest. She follows me.

"What do you think?" I asked when I point to two salamanders. I'm not waiting, I take out my knife and throw to one of them, and then I pick Amy knife and throw to other one. Dead! 

"That was so straight!!! I don't believe it!" she surprised. 

"I have to do it. I don't want to hunt, but I have no choice." I answered while I'm walking to check that two salamanders were dead. I picked them up and pack it with large leafs. I also kill four frogs. Amy finds the fruits and I go to find water. It takes a lot of time to get the water.

After 10 minutes, I found a small lake. I knew how to get this water. I find many large leaves and tie them with my wire. Then, I dip the water with the leaves. Amy gets back from find the fruits and she helps me to get back to our place.

Everyone is still sleeping. Amy collects all the bottles and I pure the water into their bottles. I knew, they don't like to drink this water, but it's only way to keep alive.

Next, we help each other to wash the salamanders, frogs, and fruits. It's already and then I start to build a campfire. I can do it since I have been in forest with my friends.

Everything they always taught me. And now, I teach Amy. After a moment, the fire start and I grill the salamanders and frogs. It's easy, I put a circle of stones around it and then gather fuel. I collect all the pieces of wood and then tight them with my wire.

After that, I burn the fire with the leaves and woods.

The smells and warm from my foods and fire make them awake and look at me. Aya and Julia run to us. 

"Oh! My god! How did you get them?" asked Aya. She takes a sit near us. Then, I see everybody walking to us. 

"She hunted!" said Amy. 

"Everyone, this morning I've got two salamanders, four frogs, and some fruits. And your water is in your suitcase. Come on! Let eat it together and get warm from this fire!" I said.

They walking to us and sitting around the fire. I share the foods to them one by one. We're so happy. I wash my knife and put it back to my suitcase. After a half an hour, everyone seems full, but they still sitting around the fire. 

Some of girls crying and want back home. Other girls hate Mrs. Paris to send them to die. Some of the other girls hate me that I always did good things to get high scores. I hate these words.

They hate me, but they still eating my foods. I've finished all the books. Right now, I only talking with another girl and taking care them by medicines because many days, they caught flu. I collected many girls to take the water and fruits for today and tomorrow. I do that every day.

For many days, I don't know how many animals I have been killing. 

Once day, when we were eating at noon. I saw two cars driving to us. We stop eating. Two gentlemen walking to us, he explained all and then accompanies us back to our rooms. Everybody feels angry with him that has been leaving us in the forest with thirty and hungry. I'm not saying anything. I just feel tired and want to eat a lot like before...

For many hours, I arrive my room. I saw Danice and my prep team standing in front of me in the room. They are running to me, looking worry. 

"Oh! God, Rachel. How are you? Are you hungry?" asked Danice during the foods are serving me to the dining table. 

"Oh! Your face look roughly, black, and you have bad smell." said Vinne. They look at me, and taught me everywhere. "We're going to make you fresh and beautiful! Come on!" said Ninna. I nodded disagree. 

"I'm okay. I want to get some rest." I said and leave them to take shower and having evening. I feel not happy with animals that I killed.

Lots of food and dessert are waiting me. Roast octopus with mustard, fry oysters, big pizza, grill chicken and cheeses, lettuce and raw beef with ketchup. For desserts, frozen strawberry yogurts, lemon, cream, and mint mix together in the glass, and chocolate and blueberry ice cream. I eat everything on the table. I never eat a lot like that before.  

"What about hunted?" asked Danice. 

"Don't remind me!" I said, "I feel wrong with them. I should not kill them for my foods," I said. 

"But you save all the girls life! They stop hungry and thirsty because of you. Don't worry!" he said. 

I do not answer. Then, I back to my bedroom, but my prep team suggests me to clean my face and body. I agree with them. 

In the makeover room, Ninna give me to sleep on a long chair. Then, she starts to smear my whole body and face with soft cream jelly to make my skin soften. After that, they dye my hair to black color and wash it with soft cream too. For 2 weeks, my leg, arm, face hair are long than before. They remove it for kill the virus from the forest.

After that, they let me to soak the milk and wash me with roses and jasmine perfume. The last thing, they massage me from my head down to the legs with soft oil.

I feel more comfortable and fresh. Nearly 4 hours, it's already. Then, they say goodbye and I back to sleep. I don't want to think about hunted anymore. It makes me afraid and shame. What will they think that I can hunt? I don't think at all.

I just wish, if I fail. I will be happy to get it...
