My Favorite Place

Chapter 2

Once I slipped into the forest I felt so safe. When I was little my dad would say that the willows were bowing to welcome me into the castle. And then he would give me a crown of willow branches. Those were the days before he died. I remember the day he died.

Flash back starts

"Daddy daddy" I shouted trying hard his attention he looked at me "what pumpkin"."I found a peach tree and there all ripe" he comes outside with me I point to a tall tree he starts climbing and once at a peach he takes out his pocketknife. He tries to open it with one hand he cant so he takes off his other hand. He gets it open but the force he used knocks him off balance and he starts falling backwards. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh". "Daddy" I shout as I run over to him. "Pumpkin always remember to be strong" those were his last words. "Yes daddy" I said .My mom came bursting out when I started screaming bloody murder. A few weeks after my dad's funeral. My mom gave up on us and walked out. Since then my brother was in charge.

Flashback ends

After the horrid images leave my mind.

I run up to my favorite tree. I grab my knives and take one. I see a giant deer. This will be all day food for me so I have to hit it. I slowly take back my arm. "I am so sorry" I whisper under my breath. It launches forward. The second it hits the deer the deer whimpers. Yes good meat.

I get back into town. I go to the trading place and trade my elk for 2 good chicken legs to the butcher he only wants the meat. So he gives me the pelt. I go over to Callie, my best friend she's at her moms shop.

"Ava" she shouts. I wave to her. I lug the pelt over. I see the most beautiful dress. It was red and white with small flowers.

"Callie can I try on this dress" I said pointing to the dress.

"Sure". I quickly pull it of and go to the changing room. It loosely laid on me.

"How much?" I ask.

"23 dollars" says Callie's mom.

"Will you take a pelt?" I ask

"Okay why not" she says.

I slip off the dress, grab the shoes, give Callie the pelt. And before she says anything I am gone. Shoot school ended 10 minutes ago.
