I was chopping down some wood for my parents when John ran into me knocking me over, leading to me throwing the ax. Julie screamed because the ax flew by her head and cut some of her hair off all the while Jake and Mia were laughing. Off to the side Jc was too emerged in her book to pay attention to the chaos at hand.
"See, this is why parents shouldn't leave 6 eight-year old's with an iron ax. When they come back they shouldn't be surprised if all of you were dead." Said Jc with a monotone voice as she held the iron ax smirking evilly.
"Kill Mia first!" Jake yelled however was punched down by none other than Mia herself.
"I have enough wood." I called out.
After a few more jokes from Jake, some punches from Mia, ramming's from John, singing from Julie, and Jc's threats to kill us although she never looked up from her book. To put it bluntly, we made it home.
But when we got there is another story...
We strolled into town and we saw flames, houses tore down, people screaming, blood, and mobs everywhere.
Everybody stopped fear in our eyes breathless as we ran to our home to see our parents, they could protect us.
As we strode we saw people getting brutally murdered with reckless abandon. Once I got to my house I stopped breathing, my body went numb I couldn't feel a thing. I saw them on the floor lying in a puddle of blood. I ran to them my body racked with sobs.
"P-P-Paige are you okay?" My mom asked.
"Yes, mom I am but what about you guys?"
"We're not going to make it so we want you to leave with your friends, take some supplies but hurry because their coming." My dad gurgled out weakly.
"We love you with all our hearts..." Is all they said before giving me a kiss on the cheek.
I hugged them (as best as I could) for the last time and took their iron ax, wood, and a few pieces of cobblestone and ran.
When I got to the front of the village I saw my friends and we ran so far my lungs hurt. Once we stopped we looked at what we had.
John had 2 wooden swords and 3 helmets, he said he would of gotten more but that's all he could carry. Jake got apples, steak, and baked potatoes. Julie brought 3 more helmets and 3 boots. Jc brought 3 boots and a fishing pole. I brought an ax and wood and cobblestone. Mia brought seeds and wheat.
And after we finished putting on our armor John and Jake got swords while I got an iron ax, none else got anything for defense.
As we went on our journey we felt an array of emotions...however we sucked it up and started building a starter house while others collected minerals.
