Life used to be simpler when it was just me my parents and ten year old sister prim. It used to be easier before all the pity and sadness...I used to be happy at one point. Life was easier before I lost my dad the man that taught me how to hunt and survive off of the woods. Sadly when he died not only did I lose him but prim and I lost a mother; because of this I learned tough lessons that caused me to grow up too soon. I had to learn to take care of not only myself but my mom and sister. At the age of twelve this is a lesson nobody should learn. Life from there only got worse; my mom got deeper into depression and my sister started to forget details about our father because she was so young.

As I got older kids would tease me and calling me names because I only had one parent; I would get pushed and shoved and no one would ever stop it. Because of that I got stronger and put up a wall so I wouldn't get hurt. I made sure prim never got treated this way; she's too pure and innocent to know what people are capable of. By the time I was fourteen that's when I started to wonder how could life be so cruel and what we did to deserve this. My mom almost lost her job because of her depression, I had to quit school so I could spend my time hunting and collecting edible fruit and plants from the forest to sell. I started to ask my mom to come back to prim and I, I would tell her that his death affected all of us not just her and that we needed our mom. Yet it never worked and it only got worse.

When I turned fifteen my life took a turn for the worse; I was taken away from everything I ever knew and loved. I had to live not knowing how prim was and hoping my mom took care of her. I lived in fear not knowing what the day would bring and thinking of how I could escape this place full of fear and danger. That was until I escaped and landed myself on a stranger's doorstep.

This is my first time writing my own story and not a co-owned story. I came up with this story about a year ago,so it may not be the best. I'm really excited about this book and I hope you enjoy it. ~sky
