I woke up as I heard fists pounding on my treehouse door. Ugh... Why's Todd up so early? According to the sun, it's only 6 am... So, I trudged over to the door and opened it.
"Dina! Did you forget something? We were gonna go Vivosaur Watching!" My annoying, yet kind brother exclaimed.
"I forgot about that! And... who told you I'd be up this early?" I replied motioning for Todd to come inside my little hut sitting on a branch.
He comes in and blabbers on about what we are supposed to do and teaches me some manners. While I maybe smart, I never went to school, lived in a big house, or even fell in love. Todd had to teach me everything. He was lucky... He was adopted, loved, and fed everyday. I, on the other hand, was as skinny as skinny could be, I had to hunt for food, saw many deaths and tragdies past before my eyes. Basically, I was a lone wolf aided occasinally by a pack of Andrarch. Todd's clothes were nice and clean, I wore a small pair of hand-made scaled shorts with a ripped up tanktop with a belt. Lately was very generous to me, he gave me a hairtie and as a sign of respect, I always have my hair up in a side pontail over on the left of my head.
"Well, Dina? Are we going or are you hungry?" Todd asked.
"Where would we go to eat? Stay here, which I know you are NOT going to like, or... where?" I ask.
"My "Mom's" house. Where else?" Todd's fingers go up and down as he says "Mom's".
And yes... We don't have any clue who are true parents are. Or where our oldest brother, Dino, is. We just hope they're alive and well.
"She hates me Todd. And I hate her." I say as I grind my teeth.
"Well, can we go Vivo Watching?"
"I don't care. Let me go get equipped with my weapons..." I walk into a tiny room with my two dual-sided knives and attached them to my belt.
"Ready?" I ask.
