Kaida finished her story. Then she patted Syaoran, the small wolf that had taken up residence in her cave. "Life is lonely for an outlaw, but that's the price for freedom from rules." Kaida thought to herself. Her stomach growled again. She clutched the growling monster that was her stomach.
"I need food."She thought as she watched the Sun start to sink between the mountains. She pulled the dagger from her belt and slid from the cave, leaving Syaoran inside.
Kaida stuck her fingers in her ears again. These chickens were amazingly loud for birds. She stuck her hand to the nearest nest and grabbed wildly. It bit her hand just when she got a hold of it.
"Oh, great spirits above!"She screamed loud enough for the spirit world to hear her, let alone the small farm. She clamped her bleeding hand over her mouth."Shit Kaida, three years as a thief and you still can't keep your mouth shut!!" She thought to herself. She heard a small squeak. The farmer was opening the hen house door. She ran behind one of the nest and froze. The farmer stuck his head in. The chickows were still going wild and Kaida thanked the spirits that they did because otherwise the farmer was sure to hear her beating heart. The lantern briefly passed over the nest she was hiding behind. Then after what seemed an eternity the farmer decided he imagined the sound. He went back into the main house to catch a couple hours of sleep before he woke up again. Kaida waited until he went into the main house before grabbing two eggs. She ran off.
Kaida saw a glow in the distance. Fire. "Please don't be my cave!" She mumbled to herself as she ran. Kaida never lit fires; it was a stupid thing to do. But on night like this, that threatened a storm she went deep into the cave where it was warmer. She finally reached her cave to find a boy had lit the fire!!
