Redwood Allo

Chapter four

(Still in first person)

When I woke up, Sylvia was still sleeping. I always wake up early and she always wakes up late. I waited for a few minutes. Finally, after what felt like hours, but in reality was only like thirty minutes, Sylvia opened her eyes.

“Good morning beautiful” I said as she woke up.

“Oh good morning” she responded tiredly.

She moved her head off mine, and I got up to watch the sunrise. I sat at the mouth of the cave, looking out, the morning dew glistening as they were hit by the first beam of sunlight.

“Mornin’ son” my dad said

“Good morning dad” I responded. “Just getting ready to hunt.”

“Yeah about that” he said.

“Chomp, you’re not coming on the hunt today.”

What!”

“Look son, I’m sorry but I don’t want you on the hunt with that wound in your side, especially because you still a subadult.”

I hate it when he says that. And it is true. I still have three more years before I’m a full adult.

“Ok fiiiiiiiine” I said.

I walked back into the cave and sat down. An hour later, all the hunters where awake and ready to hunt. Than I noticed Sylvia was going out to. Great. Now I can’t go hunting AND I have to be hear with all the young Allos. Sylvia must have seen that I was down, because she walked over to me.

“Sorry” she said.

“It’s fine” I sighed.

“Ok” she said before kissing me on the check, witch made me feel a little better. Than, she walked out of the cave with the other hunters, and I took a nap.

Part five coming soon.
