I was sitting down on a rock watching my friend, Angus, catching flies with his lizard like tongue, “how do they taste?” I asked curiously “salty, wanna try one?” Angus replied “nah” I said “its getting late we should head back” so we headed north out of the forest back home. We arrived outside of his shack like house actually it’s more a mud hut with a corrugated roof. There’s not many supplies here and the Labradorians won’t share any of their supplies so that’s the reason we have to make mud huts. I arrived at my families’ mud hut and I was greeted by my mum, Anne, “you’re late for dinner” my mum said so I sat at the table where my sister, Lucy, was tucking into some purple soup. Purple soup pretty much consists of purple tomatoes boiled, there are three tomato types, purple which are the most common and the cheapest to trade with, then you get the blue which is slightly rarer and more expensive because it’s slightly sweeter and finally there’s the red tomato which is the most expensive because of it’s rarity and sweetness. We were all at the table except dad, slurping our soup, my mum asking how our day was and to be honest it was pretty boring. I went to my bedroom and I went to bed.
I woke to the smell of purple soup which made my stomach churn after having had it for three weeks. I sat at the table slurping my purple soup listening to my sister rant on to my how much she wants to go to her “boyfriends” house which was music to my ears the thought of her being gone. I went out and waited for Angus to arrive so we could go hunting training together, theres three different training courses hunting, farming and crafting their all important but I always felt at home with a bow and arrow but I think Angus does it because I do. We were greeted by our trainer, Judas, “get your kit ready, I want to be out of here in five” Judas ordered, so we went out into the forest and split off into pairs to hunt for deers. “Hey Angus I see one” I whispered “cool, how many heads?” Angus asked “three, I think” I answered unsurely “i’m gonna go for it” so I loaded my arrow and pulled back my bow, just as I was about to pull the trigger a loud crack exploded my ears making all the birds inhabiting the forest take flight. Me and Angus turned round to see a dead deer lying upon the ground and then we saw five men holding metal contraptions so not knowing who they were we ducked and hid behind a fallen tree. “Do you think they saw us?” Angus asked “no, I don’t think so” I answered and as soon as I said that two muscular arms dragged both of us out from behind the tree “you’re coming with us” the man said.
