Chapter 14
Robin woke up really early in the morning. He had always been an early bird, because when he used to live with his uncle, he used to wake him up around six to take arrow lessons. Sometimes when he and Regina spent a few hours after midnight talking in the phone, he had trouble in the morning, because he would feel tired.
He opened his eyes and saw the picture that Regina had given to him for Christmas. He loved seeing that picture right after he woke up. Robin got up and got into the shower. Then he put some clothes on and got into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. He put some water in a teapot and took a cup from the shelf. He saw Regina's book on the same shelf. It had been there since she gave it to him.
As he was waiting for the water to boil, he took some frozen waffles. He wasn't the best cooker, so frozen food helped him. He warmed the waffles, and he looked for a plate. As the water boiled, he took a sack of tea and put it on the cup, and then he put the water. Robin took the plate and the cup and walked till the table.
When Robin sat in the chair and proceed to start eating, he realized that there wasn't any chocolate syrup, and he couldn't eat waffles without it. He went back to the kitchen and took it from the fridge. After he took it, he resumed his breakfast. His place was always silent, well, except from the days when Regina was there.
It was really cold inside, so he stood up and walked to the living room, where the fireplace was. There was a wood inside his house, so he didn't have to get out. He put a few pieces of wood in the fireplace, then a few pieces of paper and finally, he turned it on. He still remembered the first time he had to turn on that fireplace; he almost got the whole house burned.
He finished his breakfast and then he did the dishes. He wasn't a big fan of housework, but he had to do it. After the dishes, Robin decided that he needed to sharpen a few weapons for his hunting season. He sharpened the arrowheads and also two knives that he had been using to take off the fur of the animals.
It was around eight in the morning when Robin had finished his morning rutine. It was about time for him to get out, even though it was freezing outside, to get some animals. Some people could say that he was crazy because he hunted to eat the meat, but it wasn't that bad, and the meat was great.
Robin put the arrows inside the carcaj and took his bow. He also put a few more clothes on, like a huge green coat, a scarf and some gloves. When he wanted to get out, he had to struggle with the door. It was acting up since he got there, but with a strong force, he could open it.
When Robin got out, the sun was already out. It was a weak light, but it was there. He was glad, because hunting at night was the worst for him. He got into the woods silently. Silence was the key to get the best preys. Robin admired the nature, it was a great gift. He prepared on arrow on his bow, and took it between his hands. He saw a beaver, and without doubting, he shoot the arrow.
He hit it. He always did. He had a great ability with the arrow, and he was glad. He walked till the place where the dead animal was, and he started looking for his knife, to help him to get off the arrow from the animal. It wasn't there like he always had it. Then he remembered that he had sharpened it before leaving the cabin, and that he had left it on the table.
Robin leaned down and took the animal in his hand, with the arrow still in it. He needed to get back to the cabin for his knife. He couldn't keep hunting without it. As soon as Robin started walking, he felt his phone ringing inside his pocket. Robin accommodated the dead animal and the arrow on his left hand, and took his phone with the right one.
"Hello," said Robin. He already knew who was calling him. The only one who called him.
"Hey," she started. "Did I ruined your hunting mood?" asked guilty. She had ruined it once.
"No," he said smiling. "I forgot a knife and I'm coming back to my place," explained as he started walking till the cabin.
"Great," replied Regina.
"Shouldn't you be in school?" asked curiously.
"I don't feel well," Regina explained. "And it's so cold, so I preferred to stay in my comfy bed," said Regina with a laugh.
"Lucky you," added Robin.
He wasn't paying attention to the walk till the cabin, but as he was walking, and talking to her, he realized that there was a grey smoke coming from the place where his cabin was placed. Robin stayed still and he stared at the sky, trying to realize if it was actually smoke.
"Robin? Are you there?" he heard from the other side of the phone.
"Uh… Yes, Regina," He started running till the cabin. How could this be happening? He always used to leave the fireplace turned on. "I think my cabin is on fire," was the last thing that he said before leaving his phone, arrow, bow and dead beaver on the floor.
"Robin? Robin? Is everything all right?" asked Regina, but he didn't hear it, he was already reaching his place. When Robin approached the cabin, he saw that there was smoke coming out from the windows and door.
He reached the door, and started trying to open it, but like sometimes it did, the door was acting up. He started pushing with his side, but it wasn't working, so he kicked it a few times, yelling and cursing, until he finally opened it, hitting a red head girl with a green coat.
As Robin entered the cabin he didn't understood why it was on fire and why there was a girl inside it. The girl wasn't unconscious, so as soon as Robin entered it, she stood up from the floor and left running. There was a lot of smoke inside the cabin, Robin barely could see. He realized that the couch was on fire, so he went to the kitchen to take some water. As he wanted to turn off the fire, Robin started coughing and feeling dizzy.
It was too late for him to get out of the cabin now, he was giving in, so he finally blacked out.
