I am thinking of running from the mole cricket, however I see that Claus is looking at me and saying, "Lucas, don't run. It is not the right thing to do, you must be brave and continue through your battle. That is what will determine if you are a young brave boy or not." I think of how I can attack, and then I get an idea. I run up to the cricket, and bash it on the head hard. The cricket takes the hit, but then it jumps into my face, and bites at me. I shield my face, and then see that Claus punches at the cricket. Then the cricket attacks Claus, and this gets me a little upset. No one will attack my older twin brother without getting me upset. I run to the cricket and bash it again, and wonder how can such a small cricket have so much energy? Then I look over at Claus and see that he is running at it as well, and bashing it right after I do so, and then I see it preparing to attack one of us. "Look out, Claus!" I yell but see the cricket coming at me. I cover my face, and feel it biting at my fingers. Without thinking, I put out my hand and swat it away, and then feel the biting come to a stop. Slowly, I move my hands away from my face and see that the cricket is lying on the ground. It looks like it is in a daze, and then I breathe in a sigh of relief knowing that it is not attacking me or my brother anymore. Then the cricket snaps out of it, and as I feel my fear of it attacking us again returning, I see that it has no will to fight anymore and this time it is looking at me and my brother intently. I watch it carefully and see that it wants to speak. Before I can do or say anything, it begins to speak. "I see you have more of a spine than I thought. I could personally train you at the Mole Cricket Hole Stadium. I look forward to seeing you there!" As the mole cricket walks away from us, our mom is coming towards us. She looks nervous as she is approaching us, and I don't expect her to say what she is about to say. "I stepped on a mole cricket while I was coming here. I hope it's all right...anyway lunch is ready boys! I made your favorite, omelets!" Claus's eyes widen and he says "Ooh omelets!" He runs off towards the house, and then I follow him. We get at the house quickly and wait for our mom to come here, and then I see that the omelets are there waiting for us. As much as I want to dig into them, I decide to look away to distract myself, and then eventually our mom shows up. As soon as she does, we sit down and begin to eat. "Mom, what is your favorite meal?" Claus asks in the middle of our meal. As I eat, I do it in silence because it is a delicious meal and it should be enjoyed. I look up at mom and see that she is answering. "Omelets, just like you boys," she laughs after she says it and I smile. After that, the three of us enjoy the meal in peace, and then Alec comes in again. I see him and then mom begins speaking again."We have spent some time in Tazmily village now and it's time to go back home. We have been staying here as a vacation for a while now, but we need to get through the forest." After saying that, mom leaves the house and I look at Claus. I'm sad now that we need to leave this vacation spot, however I'm happy to be going back to our home in Nowhere. Without saying anything, I wait in anticipation for our mom to come back. Once she comes back, she makes us gather all our belongings together, and pack everything up so that we get on our way back to our house. "Let's go." As we leave Grandpa's house, I get a bad feeling in my gut that something terrible is about to happen.
