Chapter 2:
I had just returned home from my weekend at my dad's house; I had barely
said goodbye when he dropped me off.
"Diana, how were things with your dad?"
"Fine," I replied, not feeling like much talking.
"Are you excited to go to Africa?"
She asked me as her hand reached over and attempted to straighten my hair;
"How did you know?"
I inquired as I batted her hand away;
"Your dad asked me if it would be alright for him to take you while you
were putting your bag upstairs," she replied.
"That boss guy, whatever his name is, wants dad to go and kill a lion," I
said, my eyes down.
The sigh from my mother told me that another lecture about her disagreement
of hunting animals was coming; but I loved these, I loved seeing how intone
with earth my mom was and the tone of her voice.
"Diana, let me tell you something that my parents told me," she began,
finally setting down her fork and looked in my eyes.
"Everything in nature exists together in a delegate balance, as apart of
nature, you must understand that balance and respect all the animals in
it," my mother said, picking up her glass and taking a drink of water.
"How?"
I asked, seeing how I could begin to eat;
"By valuing life, and by having respect for all men and animal," my mom
said as we finished our dinner in silence, my mind busy processing all my
mom had said.
******
"Hey you, are you ready to go?"
It was my dad on the other end of the phone line, "dad, its 5:30 in the
morning, on a Saturday, I'm still sleeping."
"Just remember that the plane leaves today at 4 o'clock so make sure to
tell your mother to have you at the airport by 2."
"I don't want to go," I said suddenly, "I hate how you kill innocent
animals."
"We've been planning this for weeks, you're going; besides, you won't see
any killing, they'll be dead when you first see them, bye sweetie," my dad
replied as the line went dead.
I groaned as I placed the phone back on the hook, rolled over on my side,
and fell asleep.
'Oh yea, I just can't wait to go'
I thought before sleep took me.
