Firstborn Legend

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Two boys come out of the bush, one of them limping. They both have black hair, light skin, and hazel eyes.

"I'm Griffin, and this is my twin brother Leonard." The boy who isn't limping says. "We both have the firstborn curse, but Leonard has it worse. Can we rest here?"

Leonard groans. "Fell in a rabbit hole. I'm taller normally."

Tori swallows her tears, and smiles. "Sure, come sit down here." She guides Leonard to a stone near the river. "I think it's just twisted. If it hurts, tell me."

Griffin taps me on the shoulder, smiling. "Want to go hunting?"

I shrug. "Sure, they'll need the meat."

Griffin looks frustrated. Was he flirting with me? I take out my sword, and swing it around a bit. Griffin steps back, getting the message.

- timeskip -

The hunting trip didn't go too well. I tripped over ten roots, fell in five holes, and was attacked three times by various creatures. Griffin had better luck than I did! He has twice as much food as me.

"Girls should stick to healing and gathering." Griffin smirks.

Okay, he wasn't flirting with me. I sheath my sword, and walk back over to Tori.

"Try walking on it." She's gently encouraging Leonard to walk with some crutches she made out of tree branches.

He struggles up, and starts slowly walking around. "Thanks Tori!" He smiles openly.

Tori blushes. "It's nothing."

I guess they're going to be kissing in a few days. Why is Leonardo so nice and Griffin a complete jerk? It doesn't make sense.

I make a fire barrier out of stones, and start cooking the meat we got.

I use my sword to cut some for everyone, and take mine to a rocky overhang I found when hunting. Not the best idea, but I don't have anywhere else to go to get away from Griffin.

"Why you over here, pretty girl?" Griffin's here. Great. "Dangerous for little girls to be on their own in these woods."

"One, I'm almost twelve. Two, I wanted to get away from you." I growl. "You say I can't fight because I'm a girl. I'm a firstborn like you, Griffin, and I fight."

"We need to move some more if we're going to get to the center by the time you're twelve!" Tori calls to us.

I give a last glare at Griffin, and start running back to them. I swing my sword around, almost cutting Tori, and start heading towards the center town.
