"Dad!" I shout. " I'm going into town to buy some groceries!"
I poke my head out the back door and see him hanging out the laundry. He glances over his shoulder and grunts. He's a tall gruff man with short blonde hair and a shadow of a beard on his face, a square jaw and sky blue eyes. All of these thing attracted the ladies but his cold indifference drove them all off. I like top think I'm the only person that holds the power to melt his cold heart. After all I am his only child. Most people in town don't believe I'm his daughter. I have long black hair and hazel eyes after all. Most people think that he found me in a tree, mostly because I'm a bit of a wild child. I like to hunt and to just be in the woods. It doesn't help that I live in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. I do go to school in town but that's about it, I do from time to time sneak out to go to the towns one and only club. I own my own four-wheeler and it helps that dad sleeps like a rock.
He looks over at me and asks, "Did you fuel up the four?"
"Yes." I say over my shoulder as I walk away.
"Stop. Come back here." He commands.
I let out a sigh and walk back to him. He gives me a stern look. "Did you chop up the firewood?"
"Yes and then some."
"Did you put out the hides from yesterday?"
" YES! can I go now?"
His look changes to one of concern. "Do you have your gun?"
I hesitate. every time I leave the house I'm suppose to take my revolver with me. "Yeah." I reply. He looks content and sends me away with a flick of his fingers.
Now it's time to cause some trouble.
