I woke up the next morning by screams.
"GALE! GALE!" I heard Posy scream. So I grab the closest pair of pants and ran out my room. My mother and sister were sitting at the table, looking extremely scared.
"Kill it." My sister whispered. I turn and saw a spider. The two girls of my family woke me up from the best dream I have had in years, because of a tiny spider.
"Give me a shoe." I sigh. Posy gave me her shoe and I slammed I it on the wall. "There? Happy now?" They both nod. "Well I'm going back to sleep."
"No you're not." My mother said.
I stared at her. Confusion must have been the expression on my face.
"You got a note from the Mayor. Rather Madge than the Mayor but, she wants to "Continue her teachings" as she put it."
I sigh. "Undersee." I say under my breath.
"Gale, go. I can take care of them today."
I nod and go to my room. Do a quick change in clothes. Just some jeans and a white t-shirt. And head out the door, into the Seam.
"It's about time, Gale!" Madge squealed. She was wearing jeans and a black shirt.
"Sorry, I had duties to kill a spider today."
Madge started laughing so hard, she started to cry.
"Sorry. A spider? Who was scared?"
"Ma and Posy."
"Good thing it wasn't Rory."
I chuckle "He is scared of spiders." I sigh.
"Let's go." She says. She smiles. I doubt she knows that I heard what she said last night.
"You're going to climb a tree today, Undersee."
She shot me a look of terror.
"To hell I'm not!" She says.
"Come on Undersee, live a little!"
She sighed. "I'm terrified of heights."
"Then, you're going to hunt today."
Her huge eyes widen.
"Scared, Undersee?"
"You wish." She laughed.
