I patrol the army barracks. I'm used to the eyes that follow me. Being the only girl in this barrack you get used to it. The soldiers know not to mess with me though. I could easily kick all their sorry butts, and have before. I smirk as i walk by them waiting for someone to try something. I'm just itching for a fight.

I feel a tug on my arm. I glance down to see my little brother Jacin. '' Sitara, are you going hunting again?'' he must of seen my bow and quiver on my back. I nod.

''Can i go with you?'' he asks. His eyes getting big and round. Oh geez, not the puppy dog face i think. '' you can come with...'' i say. His eyes fill up with hope '' ... if you want to be eaten by a scary bear.'' i snarl at him showing my fangs. He shrieks and runs off. I laugh to myself and head out. My patrol duty finally finished.

After about an hour of hiking through the dense brush, my ears pick up a noise. It wasn't loud, it was barely audible over the wind, but it was definitely there. I draw my bow and peek around the bush. My eyes spy something in the shadow of a large oak. A beautiful buck. I lick my lips as i draw back the string, pulling it taught. I release my arrow just as the buck spots me where i'm crouched behind the bush. I wait no more than a moment then, Thump! My arrow strikes its mark. The buck falls, completely motionless on the leafy floor.

I grin and start to cut up the deer. As i work i examine the deer. What a fine specimen of an animal i think. Its antlers are large, they have six points, the buck is all lean muscle. It truly is a marvelous animal. I finish gutting the poor creature and stand to leave. I hear a twig snap and turn, i see a pair of bright green eyes staring at me from the shadow of the next tree.

'' Alright Jacin. Come on out'' i call to my little brother. He walks out slowly his head hung low.

''You wanna hunt so bad? Fine. but you get to carry the deer.'' I say and drop the bag of meat into his arms. We walk home in silence, him with a triumphant grin as he struggles to hold the heavy and slippery bag and me with my usual blank face.
