The Hut

The heck's going on!!!!!!

I mean seriously!

I wake up in some weird hut, my ankle hurts like heck, and well there's this weird guy in a corner just staring at me!!!

I stare back at the guy completely confuzzled before looking around the hut.

Lots of furs on the huge bed, a fire is in the fireplace, and the weird guy is still staring at me.

"Why are you staring?" I ask irritated.

The guy doesn't move and just keeps staring.

"Alright, bye." I say hopping on my left foot and hop over to the door.

The door opens before I can even touch it and this really scary guy is standing on the opposite side!

I swear I almost faint!

I take a deep breath and assert myself before looking back up at him.

He's carrying some wood, a bucket, and some fish.

"W-Would you like some help?" I ask.

The man shakes his head and moves around me.

"You shouldn't move, your ankle is broken." The man says.

I look curiously at him before shaking it off.

"I think I can manage." I say turning back to the open door.

I jump a little seeing a demonic looking goat thing and I shut the door.

"Nevermind I think I'll crash here." I say hopping back to the bed and sit on it.

I sigh bored.

"Takeshi come help prepare dinner." The man says looking at the guy in the corner.

Now that he stands he seems to be my age, maybe a little older.

He's tall like the scary man, also has blond hair and brown eyes.

I hop up again "Anything I can do?".

They both ignore me and start working.

"Alright fine." I say under my breath and sit back down.

The man hands me a mushroom and a knife.

"Cut it." He says.

I look at him curiously, I have no where to put it!

Then he hands me a little wooden bowl.

I shrug and start to cut the mushroom in bite sizes, wondering if I should keep the gills on or not.

I keep them on just because I don't feel like removing them.

I cut the head into squares and the man comes to take the bowl.

"Nice job." He says barely patting my head.

Then the guy, Takeshi, came and sat down  on the bed five feet away from me.

"You realize that I'm not posionous, right?" I say.

Takeshi blushes and scoots two feet closer.

I sigh and scoot right next to him.

Takeshi somehow becomes even more red and attempts to scoot away but I put an arm around his shoulders.

"My name's Raven Looney." I say.

"M-My name is Takeshi." Takeshi says blushing red still.

"Mhmm, and who is he?" I ask pointing to the man by the pot.
