I had snuck in through a window into an unknown room. There were portraits of people who looked to be very rich, hung on all of the walls. I'm guessing that this is a parlor of some sort.
I didn't want to spend too much time looking at these beautiful pictures so I left the room. The halls were white like the fresh snow falling outside and there were pillars made of marble supporting the roof. Not much in this hallway but a few lamps and chandeliers.
So I walked down the hall to a closed door and heard voices.
"What are you going to do about this?"
"I'm not sure but I do know that I can't sit around and do nothing."
I was very curious so I kept listening.
"You musn't let people continue to die because of this."
"I know and I won't let my people suffer any longer."
Then the voices stopped. I heard footsteps coming closer to the door. I ran into a room and closed the door quietly. The footsteps dragged farther into the distance. Now I knew they were gone.
I took a minute to process what I've just heard. There were two voices. A female voice and a male voice. The female voice sounded like she was in her 40s or something and the male voice didn't sound much older than me. Maybe a year or so.
The women was asking him questions and he said 'his people'. Maybe he's a prince or king. But I don't think he could be king right now since the king that I've always heard about hasn't died yet.
It was so much to comprehend so I just gave up. I finally took a look around the room I was in. It held so many beautiful gowns so I was guessing it was a closet.
I decided to take some clothes with me since I was freezing out in the cold. They wouldn't miss them considering the fact that they live in a castle and all.
When the coast was clear, I ran out of the castle and back to my wolves.
By now it was midday and I was hungry. Luckily my wolves brought me a dead rabbit and I had some leftover berries from breakfast.
I started a fire near my hut deep in the woods. I skinned the rabbit and took out unnecessary things like the eyes and heart.
Then I drained the blood. After that I cooked it and ate. I sound so much like an uncivilized person right now but when you're fighting for your life like I am, you'll understand.
After eating I decided to make me a knife that I long needed. I'm going to make clothes from the dresses and skirts I stole. I need things to fit me.
To make a knife, I'm going to need wood, which I already have, and something sharp. I knew exactly what I wanted for the sharp object.
I told the wolves to fetch me my spear and they did. Then I told them to do whatever they needed. This was for me to do in my own.
I was gonna catch me a shark.
**■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■**
The castle was by the ocean if you wanted to know how I was going to catch a shark. And lucky me, too. There was one by the shore. It looked to be injured. I didn't want to hurt it but I became more ruthless now and my instincts took over.
I stabbed the shark through one eyeball and kept going until my spear came out the other one. That's how I kill most animals. I then cut the bottom jaw out of its mouth. It took even longer because I didn't have a knife.
I dragged the corpse back out to sea and let it's body drift away. Part of the water soon became red because of the sharks blood. I went to a different part to clean off the shark jaw in my hand.
After that, I went back to my hut and met the wolves roaming around. I think some of them went hunting.
I took three teeth out of the gums and put the shark jaw away in case I ever needed it for something. That seems really weird.
I used the fire to help mend the teeth together. I didn't want the top tooth to get its point dulled so I was extra careful.
Once it cooled off, I started cutting and sewing the pieces of fabric together. This was gonna take a while.
When I got tired, I put the leftover cloth away with the shark jaw. I had made me a blanket so I guess that's my early birthday present to myself.
Did I tell you that my birthday is tomorrow? Yea I get to spend my birthday in the freezing cold forest. Wonderful.
I'm planning to meet the prince tomorrow. So I guess that's kind of a treat.
Now it's time to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow is a good day.
