Chapter 1

Skylar

"Wake up!" Elizabeth yelled angrily as I yawned. I'm still half asleep! "I said get up!" Xavier groaned. Elizabeth kicked him, "Get up! You have to go hunting!" I sat up in my bed as I stretched my arms out to my side. As I did so, my chest rose up. "Xavier! I said get up! Skylar please wake up Russell and Ansell."

I nodded my head. I poked my head out to the side of my bed. I looked down to see Russell sleeping soundly. My hair spilled out from behind me to tickle his face, "Wake up." I whispered in a sweet voice. He groaned lightly. I took my hands to grab a pillow and dropped it lightly at his face.

He laughed lightly, "I'm up." I smiled innocently again.

I looked over at Elizabeth and said, "I got Russell up."

Elizabeth didn't hear me as she yelled bitterly at Xavier, "Xavier wake the fuck up!" She snatched the pillow out under his heads and threw it harshly at his face.

He threw it to the side as he snapped back, "Yeah! I'm up! Shut up!" Ansell woke up with just a poke in his belly.

"I'm up!" Ansell shouted as Russell was helping Elizabeth. I jumped up and down as I remembered what a beautiful day it was. The sun was hugging the other villagers outside, and I can tell because they were sweating. I don’t blame them either. Some stay out at the market place until supper, just to get a single buy.

"Lizzy can I please go outside?!" I asked impatiently, poking her belly lightly.

She shook her head as she replied, "Skylar, you have to help Lola and I clean up."

I sighed, "Alright.” I looked for Lola, but couldn’t seem to spot her. I turned back to face Lizzy. “Hey, where is Lola and Haylee?" I asked her.

Ansell looked around, "And Nathan?" Lizzy shrugged casually.

"Haylee is helping Hope. The rest, I don't know." Lizzy replied.

Thomas walked in through the dark, oak wood, front door, "I brought more blankets!" Lizzy walked up to him.

"Do you know where Lola and Nathan are?" She asked him.

He nodded his head and answered, "Yeah. They're at the lake."

I tilted my head and groaned in annoyance, "Again?" He nodded his head and spoke again as he placed the red and blue, wool blankets, down on the bed Lizzy just finished folding, "Yeah."

Lizzy groaned loudly as she commanded me, "Skylar go get Lola!"

Xavier added in, "And Nathan!” He finally stood up from his bed and continued, “He needs to help!"

I nodded my head, "Okay." I walked out of the small house. Yeah, send me again for the one thousandth time!

"Skylar!" I turned my head to find Haylee calling my name making her way over to me.

"What's up?" I asked.

She laughed, "Lola and Nathan sitting on a tree! K-I-"

"Stop it! You know Lola and Nathan hates being teased like that!" I distinctly commanded.

"Hehehe!"

"Nevermind. I got to go fetch them." I walked away from Haylee as she went back too. Gosh Lola and Nathan again?! For the fifth time this week! I finally reached the baby blue lake. I saw Nathan laying down with both hands behind his head. Lola, of course, was laying her head on his stomach. She was in the middle of making a flower bracelet out of yellow daisies. I cleared my throat loudly.
