FEAR

Hunting day

        "Horizon, wake up" I open my eyes softly seeing a burr of another dinosaur, "arg, what!" I grab my blanket, covering my head "it's my first day in the valley! I'm able to hunt now!" I could tell who it was by the sound of my annoying younger brother, Andy, screaming in my ear.

          "uhhh! Why today" I sit up pushing the blankets off of me, rubbing my tired, blue eyes. "come on, get up!" He says in that whinny voice, he always does. he tugs me by the arm, leading me out of my warm hut. A huge gust of cold air sweeps against my back, I crossed my arms rubbing my cold albino scales trying to stay warm. I inhaled the fresh air,I loved the beautiful forest around me, it just, feels so homey, ya know. Soon I wanna explore more of the world, but I am only seven, and I'll just have to wait till I'm older.

     "Horizon! let's go!" His obnoxious voice jolts me from my thoughts as I hear him from across the village. I roll my eyes, turning the other way, scanning the huts for my father Scale, he's kinda the dinosaur I go to when I'm bored or tired,of drawing or something. Even though I just woke up, I get bored very easily.
.........
        I finally arrived at his hut, and knock on the wood door, the door opens to a dark room, his eyes are the only things I could see, "what is it sweetie" this was strange, why is his room so dark. "I'm kinda busy right now" dad says in a suspicious way, what's he doing? "I'm sorr.." he closes the door, quickly not giving me a chance to finish.  I stood at the door stunned, This was different dad never slams his door on me.

       I walk away feeling quite awkward but that's the least of my problems, my little brother it aways getting in trouble from this one bully named, mason. So I decided I gonna go help him, all though I'm a little nervous. because this bully is, five years older then me. But i can't just stand around wile Andy,gets continuously bullied. So I fallowed the familiar sent of the bully, leading me in a weird clearing with loads of sticks and falling, Soon I spot masons gray scales in the corner of my eye and I instinctively hide behind a dead log peaking over, watching them.

"I'm tired of you beating me up!" Said my brother, obviously scared. My brother swings his arms attempting to scratch him, he fail miserably. The bully pushes him to the floor, before I knew it the bully gets on top of him pinning him down, pushed his hand on his neck, choking him, "ah, s-stop! ack!" He wheezes,"This beating with be your last, don't worry" mason chuckles.

This is going to far, I jump over the log charging forward my claws kicking up dirt, as I thrust forward. "Get away from him! you monster!" The bully's free arm raises and hits me on the side of my snout launching me back, I tripped and fell to the ground, I cupped my bleeding cheek, my brother, still unconscious. I did not plan this well, did I. "I guess, I'll have to end you too! Awww, I was hoping to save you for a special a cation." Mason raised his claws aiming at my neck I didn't want to die, and if I did, he would kill my brother. "No! Never!" I grabbed the closest stick swinging it over, stabbing him in the stomach aggressively, barring my teeth, I pulled the stick out, blood splashing on my albino scales. the kid choked out blood, wheezing, as he fell on his side, eyes rolled to the back of his head, he took his last breath, then fell limp. He was dead. is this my first kill? one of my own?

"Horizon! Andy!" The voice of my mom yells from the village "Andy! we have to go!"
I lift my brother from the ground, his gaze tired and worried. "ow" he rubs his neck, "come on let's go to the tree house, we will stay there till mom finds us until then we must prepare." I grabbed the stick that was covered in blood, covering any evidence. I didn't feel, to bad but at the same time, I'm considered a, murderer, murderer, The word played over and over again in my head, making it hard for me too think straight. Soon we arrive, as I lead my poor brother up the ladder leading to a small cozy tree house.
............
       After awhile, of preparing, we heard somebody climbing up the ladder, we quickly prepared ourselves, the brown figure of my mother came in "where have you two been? your father, and I were worried, sick!" I pretended everything was normal "we are aways in here, you know that, and come on were dinosaurs I think we will be fine" I have my mom that sassy girl look. mom pointed her claw at me giving me that look in return. "you watch it, young lady, there are plenty of things you should look out for" andy was wrapped up in a bear skin blanket, covering his neck.

      "The reason why I'm telling you this is because, there is a dangerous road waiting for you to cross, so, don't get comfortable, it's tomorrow, and both of you will be attending." My eyes widened with worry as I remembered, this is the test, the test, the villagers have been talking about "the battle for belonging"
