Awakening

2. You're such a girl

❤️⚔Amabel's P.O.V⚔❤️

"Good one, straight in middle!" My brother high fives me after putting down his rifle. We've been at it for a good two hours, trying to pass the time.

"Would you mind telling me why you always shoot at the same spot?" He was always asking me and today was his lucky day."Because I love animals, but yet I kill them, so I try to make it quick and painless." He looked at me strangely. "It's like how I shot this deer. Between the eyes instead of making it go through pain slowly."

"Oh, now I get it." He started to walk up the rocky hill and said,"you're such a girl."

With that statement, I chased after him. You see, I'm a girl - duh - but I don't like girly things. Like dresses and making each other's hair or anything like that. I always stick with the boys and go hunting and fishing or just plain cause mischief. The only things I do by myself is- read, write, and do target practice.

"You getting tired, Noel?" He was wheezing hard when we got close to the other boys. We stopped running and I let him take a breath. "Nah, I'm continuously breathing out of control really fast." I rolled my eyes. We walked up to the other boys and they just stared at us and laughed. "Ah, did your sister tire you out? Poor Joel." They chuckled. "Last time I remember you didn't get a sprained ankle because you fell of the cliff," Noel said as a comeback.

Mark turned beet red and it was fun to watch.

We all laughed except him, of course, but I smiled at the memory. We had wrestled last week, leading him to think that he would beat me. Not! I beat him easily when I grabbed him by the stomach and flipped him over and he landed very weirdly. He limped to the infirmary and thus I knew I won the game. I give thanks to my brothers who taught me everything I know.

"Okay, okay enough. We need to leave. Go get your meat and follow me," said Craig.

Noel started to leave, but I stopped him. "I'll go get it. I made you run too much." He smiled. "Thanks sis." I made my way down the rocky hill and found the two deers we shot. We spent half the time talking and looking at different birds, so we only shot four.

And they were all me.

As I carried them on my back easily, I heard horses in the distance. There was two men on one horse in dark cloaks. They looked like they were coming here.

Customers, yay! Not!

I left, rejoining the pack and headed towards home. All of a sudden, I saw a person in a black sparkly cloak by a tree far to me. The moment I saw him, he disappeared out of nowhere.

Basically at the blink of an eye.

I hurried and caught up to the guys just thinking about the mysterious thing in the woods.

There was stories about a man in black, all sparkly who lived in the woods. People didn't know exactly what he did, but no one has ever encountered him and lived. Or so the tales say.

"Hurry Amabel, so that we can get in the bar when it's not so full." Noel was better now, it's not that he couldn't run, it was that I ran too fast and he had to run like his life depended on it.

"Yeah, I'll be right there." I hurried along the road leading to the village thinking about who the man was and what was he doing there.

I mean how couldn't I when a dude, basically just disappeared in front of my very sharp eyes. Like magic.
