I sit on the top branch of my tree, looking out over the island. A few people wander around, doing there daily chores or looking after there young. I lean my head against the tree, and play with a strand of my hair. I watch as a Small bird sits on the end of my branch, and sings a little tune. I close my eyes, and imagine what Will is doing right now. Will is a Hunter, and he goes out and fights the land people, who are selfish and want our land. It's helpless really. Our hunters are big and strong, and are hard to get through. Will is still a young boy. My dream is to be a huntress, the best of the best. But being the chiefs daughter, I have to not only prove to my Father that i'm strong enough, but the whole tribe. Especially Will. Me and Will have been Best friends ever since we were born. Our mothers grew up together, so we did too. Will says i'm too 'fragile' but I don't listen. When have I ever listened to what Will says. Or what anyone says. Suddenly, A hand scruffs up my hair. My eyes shoot open, and turn around to see a laughing Will stood behind me on another branch. "Hey Em!" I push him and he holds a hand up in defeat; his other hand clasping the branch. I let a chuckle escape my lips and lean back on the tree. Will smiles, and does his best to try and sit next to me. "You know that i'm gonna fall, right?" I laugh.
"I know," We sit there, laughing, until someone calls my name.
"Emily!" I recognise the voice instantly.
"Emily's not here!" I shout, in a deep voice. I hear shuffles and a head pops up in the tree.
"Oh hi Will, have you seen Emily?" Lizzy smiles cheekily, and I stick my tongue out at her.
"What is it?"
"Your dad's looking for you." I sigh and start to climb down. Will screams as he nearly falls out the tree. I laugh once again, and run down to my Father's hut.
"Father?" I say, kneeling down on one knee. "We're you looking for me?"
He spins around and looks at me. "Yes." He says, "yes I was." I stand up, and look in his eyes. He has a look of kindness, laced with fear. "How would you like to become a huntress?" The world stops. My heart beats fast. My dream just came true.
So here is my new book. I hope you like it. The characters (some of them) are on the part before, and some of the rest you can memorise as you want.
Thanks for reading if you did! ↑
