The Way It Should Be

Chapter Twenty-Three

"Darren! Wake up Tux!"

"On it!"

"AHH!!" My eyes shoot open and the first thing I notice is a hand. The next thing I realize is that something is in my mouth. I open up my mouth and see the had fly away from my face with a bit of blood pour out of it.

Realizing the who hand belongs to I jump out of my hammock - falling on my fave in the process - and quickly try to find a first aid kit - "I know there is on- ah found it." I run over to the person and wrap their index finger with some bandages.

They glare at me - he glares at me.

"I'm sorry, Darren!"

He sighs then smiles, "Its cool. You didn't mean to. Anyway, Evra is waiting for us, we need to get the food for the Little People."

I give him a confused expression, genuinely confused about what he was referring to.

"You managed to forget already, huh?"

"Forget what?"

He sighs, "How Mr. Tiny assigned us to get food for the Little People."

"OHH! I remember now!"

"Jeez, well let's go. The sooner we get this over with the sooner we can finish other chores and hang out."

I nod my head as we make our way to the vehicle door. Evra was standing right outside with three bags. He hands one to each of us.

I tie the wolves up - to make sure they don't try and come with us, can't have them eating all our catches.

"What do they like?" I ask Evra.

"Any kind of meat, it can be rotten for all they care, I don't think they have tastebuds to taste it." Evra says.

"Oh that helps a lot." I smile.

We go out hunting laughing and joking along the way - but also trying to be serious.

"Hey, look at this." I say pointing towards a large boulder. Darren walks over to it and starts climbing the large rock.

I smile and follow after him. It was only maybe five to six feet high, so it wasn't like a mountain, but it was still fun.

I dusted off most of the dirt from in the rock, there was a lot.

"You guys, we need to hurry. If we take any longer the bags will begin to soak up the blood. We still need more too." Evra informs.

Darren and I sigh before climbing down.

Evra was right, we should be trying to hurry and make it back to the Cirque, but... it was so boring!

I'd rather die - which I might - than do this stupid job. This seems more of a two person job, not a three. Besides I need to find food for my wolves as well, these Little People will just steal all the food for themselves.

Stupid Mr. Tiny and his stupid Little Minions.

Once wefinally get enough food for the gremlins we head back to the Cirque. First thing is first we drop the food off at their tent. They surround us like a ton of vultures, disgusted I back up out of the circle of Little Beings.

I almost kick a few of them over.

They truly are small, two feet tall small. That's literally only a little bit above my knee.

Despite their small height they are really wide, it must be what produces their strength.

I quickly make my way away from the group of Little People - roughly ten or so - and run to the Wolf-Man to wash him.

After completing my chore I am soaked - because I didn't make it to the wall in time... - and I head to me and the boys' van. Seeing that they aren't in there I quickly change and wipe up the drenched floor with a towel then head to the camp fire to dry my hair and the towel.

I see Darren and Evra sitting there too, exhausted.

"Getting the food for the Little People took all the energy put of me... I'm surprised we managed to complete our other chores..." Darren complains.

I laugh, "I still have to feed the wolves." I yawn.

"You should probably do that before they cause any havok." I hear and stiffen at the vampires voice.

Not saying a word I stand and storm off - to the wolves to take them hunting.

Stupid Larten Creosley... I'll kill you one day... I swear on my life I will!
