chapter 2
Tedry has a weapon around him and I remember that I forgot mine, tedry is 67 years old but he looks about 80 he looks tearful, I wonder why? ‘hello nn’ he says, this is why I like him so much, he made up a name for me ‘nn’ stands for no name, and I guess it’s the closest I will get to a name other than ‘brat’ so I’m happy ‘hello tedry’ I say, he notices I have no weapon ‘where’s your axe?’‘I forgot it…’
‘again! You could have hurt yourself! And I think you have have you seen your face you have massive cut on your eye brow!’
I didn’t notice, it must have been from someone I bumped into holding a knife, oh well
‘I don’t need one!’
‘yes you do! I don’t want to see my little nn hurt! Anyway, what did you get today?’
‘this’ I say as I pull the food out, his eyes widen and I can see he is trying to contain his laughter, ‘well’ he says ‘it’s something, chin up birdy!!’ and I walk into the cave
The cave: you would think it’s an actual cave, it was once but the capitol took it away, we can’t have any freedom until we have gained it, I have been working for 11 years till I was too poor and became a thief, still no freedom. Tedry told me that when he was a boy he helped build this hut made out of trees and called it the cave,
I look around the cave until taking my usual spot in the corner and wait till by some miracle that someone will trade with me, I wait and wait till someone comes up to me but I know I shouldn’t get to excited because it’s Cranken: 16 years old, and the one who hates me ‘what ‘exciting’ thing have you got today girl!’ he mocks and I say nothing, if I say nothing and pretend he’s not there he will go away, this just makes him angry ‘did you just here me or do I have to start calling you deaffy’ I look straight ahead ‘OI GIRL! WHAT DO YOU HAVE?!’ then he loses it and smacks me on the cheek, I feel pain creeping around my cheek I open my mouth to say something but stop when I hear a voice ‘hey!’ a new face says what an idiot! I think he must be about 13 and he is shouting at a muscular 16 year old who could kill him in seconds. Some newbies can be so stupid ‘shut up needless, you might be my brother but I would still hurt you!’ ‘I’d like to see you try!’ he says and offers his hand to me I take it and he pulls me up. Cranken sighs aggressively and storms off and I smile ‘thank you’ I say, I’m not used to being helped maybe I can make a new friend out of my enemy’s little brother
