I crouch by the river,gently setting my buckets down. I stop for a moment and inhale the earthy sent given off by the rocks in the shallow creek. I am gathering water for my village. I do this daily but today I break routine taking a small moment to admire natures beauty. I stand and lift my dress' hem gently skimming my foot over the water smiling. "Gabrielle, what are you doing?" I jump and turn around quickly allowing the hem of my dress to get muddy in the process as I stare and see my father Axel behind me. "Nothing father.",I say as I gulp nervously. He grabs me by my throat and glares into my eyes "You do not have time to daydream. Get the water and get back to the village". I watch as he storms away angrily and I walk back to the village. After I deposit my water into the village water supply I walk home. As I walk in I avoid my mother's gaze so she will not see me crying. "My darling Kit whats wrong?". I smile upon hearing her use my preferred nickname, "Nothing mother,father corrected me is all". She smiles gently and lifts my chin "He doesn't mean to be so harsh. He just doesn't want to lose another daughter". I frown as I remember the day my sister was beheaded for stealing from the king. "I miss Annaleah so much",I saw whilst trying not to cry. My mother embraces me and I gladly accept her hug. Afterwards I walk upstairs and look at my brother, "Kilo we can't keep living like this". He purses his lips in thought then replies, "I know sister but what can we do". I smirk, "I may know someone who can help".
