ODIUM

A door opens ups and a young women in her mid 30's walks thru the door and walks over to the bed before her and puts her hand on the person who is laying on the bed in front of her and starts to waking up the person in front of her, but as she is trying to wake the person, the young boy in front of her. He just pulls the blankets over his head and tells her that ("it is too early"). She then angrily pulls the blankets off of him and tells him to take the bucket and go and get her the water so she can wash him and also begin with her chores before she can make food, when his father comes back from the field.  He then stands up and climbs out of the bed he was laying in groaning and moaning as he is seeing his mother in front of him. She then points to the kitchen and tells him that he should take the bucket and that he should go to the river and collect water.  The young boy then goes into the kitchen and picks the bucket up and takes the bucket with him as he is exiting the small house and then begins to walk to the river that is behind the forest.  As the young boy starts walking to the forest, he sees a few other young kids in front of him and starts running towards him as they are entering the forest road. The young boy runs up to them and says ("BOO") to scare them, the group of young kids scream and start running as two of them turn around and see that it is only the young boy making a joke. The two tells the other three that it was only the young boy and after they all start running towards him and tries to attack him out of angry, the young boy sees this starts running back to where he came from and tells them that it was only a joke, but the group of young ladies want to hear none of his excuses and just want to beat him up.  After a few minutes of chasing him the young ladies and the young boy decides that to make up for scaring them, he has to also carry their buckets. The group of young ladies and the young boy then go back to their mission at hand to go to the river and to collect some water for their families waiting for them at the village. After a few minutes off walking on the forest road, they finally get to the river and all the young ladies give all their buckets to him and tell him that he should ("fill their buckets up quickly, they will wait for him over there"), pointing to the edge of the river.  He then takes there buckets and his own and starts filling them up, after he is done filling up the buckets, he takes them to the edge of the river and tells the young ladies that he can carry all of there buckets, but only if they carry the buckets half way, the young ladies starts talking among themselves and decides that they are going to accept his deal. Everyone takes their own buckets and starts moving back to the forest so that they can get back on to the forest road and back to their village. After a few minutes of walking, the young boy comes out of the forest, with the young ladies behind him, with all of these buckets on his arm straight out with him walking very carefully so that he does not fall and waist the water.   As he gets closer to their houses, the young ladies take their buckets back and tell him ("thank you for carrying our buckets'') and run back to their houses. The last one who took her bucket back, kisses him on his left cheek and tells him thanks, the young boy's face starts turning red after she kisses him. The young lady who kissed him runs towards her house, but the young boy who is now in shock tells her not to do that again, but Jane tells him that she will kiss him again, because he promised to always be by her side. The young boy then runs back to his house and gives his mother the bucket full of water who is in the bathroom busy getting his things ready for him she then sees his face and ask him ("why his face is so red?") and then she takes a closer look at his face and ask ("if he is getting a cold?''). He then responded with ("No mother I am okay"). She then tells him that he will have to wait for her to make a fire and to warm the water up on the fire as she is busy putting the pot full of water on the fire.  She then tells him to go into the kitchen and help his father, because he brought some vegetables back from the fields. He then goes to the kitchen where his father is cleaning the vegetables and then chopping them up into.  The young boy comes in runin to his father and hugs his legs and tells him ("Morning Dad'') his father stop with what he was doing and puts his hand on his son head and tells him ("Morning Son") and picks him up and puts his son in his arm and hugs him and after they are done hugging each other and then tells his son to take a slice of vegetable and to eat it before his mother comes in and as he is busy eating the slice, at that moment his mother comes in and tells him to come so that she can wash him and as she is talking she sees him eating the slices again and tell her husband that he should stop giving him food, before the breakfast. His father lets go of him and puts him down and tells him to go with his mom. His father then tells his mother that ("they need to talk about something"), after he is done with cleaning and chopping the vegetables into slices, he is going to come to her and talk about something which is bothering him.  The wife then responds with ("if it is important then i can wait to wash our son"), but her husband tells her that ("it is not that big of a news") and he can finish up here and then i will come to the bathroom and talk to you about what we have seen. The young boys mother takes him back to the bathroom and tells him to stand in the bucket, he then starts undressing himself and then after he is done climbs in the big bucket so his mother can wash him and then after he climbed in the bucket his mother takes out a rag and a few soap pieces and starts washing him. After his mother was done washing his body she then started washing his hair and as she is busy washing his hair.  His father walks in and stands behind the door he just walked threw and starts talking to his wife and tells her "that there a few problems", his wife then ask him "what problems?" as she is drying his son hair. "The first problem is that half of the vegetables which I have been growing in the fields are missing . It looks like somebody dug them up and then they tried to cover it up". What! ask his mother, do you think it is one of our neighbour? as she is busy dressing there son. "No!, it can't be, because the same thing has happened to them, some of their livestock are missing and fields were rangsak ''. "The second problem is that the merchant that was supposed to come here have not been seen yet and there is no sign that they are coming to this village" as he walks over to his son and kneels in front of him and starts rubbing his hair and tells his wife that "the third and last problem is that rumors has been spreading that the Kingdom of Odium is going to war with us and that might be the reason why we have not seen the merchant group yet". "What does this mean for us?" ask his wife, "what it means for us is that we might have to pack up our belonging and move to a new place to out run the war that might be on the way".  After there long talk they had the mother then tells her husband and her son "that she is going to make food for them to eat", she and her husband then goes to the kitchen to make food and tells her son to play in eyesight, where she can see him, the young boy then goes out of the bathroom and looks for the young ladies to play with them, but find nobody. After a few times of looking, he goes to one of their houses and knocks on one of the young ladies' doors and then asks her mother "if Jane can come and play with him". Her mother who opened the door tells him that "she just went back to the river to get more water for her grandmother". He then thanks Jane's mother and goes to the river to see if she needs any help, so he runs to the river and as he is running he sees the merchant wagon in the distance on the road coming towards the village.  He then stops in his tracks and runs back to his father and mother to tell them that the merchant is on the way to the village square. As he runs to his house, he stops in front of the door of the house and then opens up the door and goes to the kitchen where his parents are in the kitchen busy making the food and tells them that he just saw the merchant and their wagon coming to the village.  Both of his parents look at each other and his father then tells his wife that he is going to check if everything is okay, the young boy goes with his father as his mother puts the food on the fire and as the merchant with his wagon stop in the middle of the road, he tells his two companies to make every ready for the villagers so that they can begin with there transactions.  He then unlocked his two horses from the wagon and took them to a house standing nearby and asked the owner of the house "if he can give a little bit of water to his horse". She tells him "to use the bucket over there, that has water in it to give to his horse". He then thanks her and proceeds to pick the bucket up and sees that there is enough water in it for both of his horses and starts giving the water to his horse as they are drinking the water out of the bucket one by one, he starts rubbing their maines. After his horses were done with drinking the water.  He then takes them back to the wagon and locks them back to the wagon and then ask his two employes "if they were done?". The two employees then respond with "Yes! sir".  He then sees a favourite customer and greets him and then tells him that he has new types of products from the kingdom's capital. The young boy's father greets the man and tells to "just give him the same products he also gets". The merchant then gives his father the same products and then asks him "if he has any products for him?".  His father then responds with "No, times are tough" and then he gives the merchant the money he owes him for the products. His father then tells his son "lets go ''.  The young boy then follows behind his father to their house as the merchant has his eyes fixed on them. His father then puts the products that he bought on the table and ask his wife "if the food is ready" and she then tells "him to take out the plates so that they can eat lunch", he then stand up and puts the products away and also takes out the plates and puts them on the table. After the plates were set, his mother then takes the pot off the fire and puts the pot on the table and starts serving the food she made for them.  After they were done eating the food, the young boy's mother tells "him to clear the table and to take the bucket again and fill it up with water so there could be water left for tomorrow morning". The young boy then responded with "Yes, mother". The young boy then takes the bucket and goes out of his house to go back to the river behind the forest to collect more water. The young boy goes back into the forest and runs towards the river until he can reach the river and as he reaches the river the young boy sees a bunch of footprints on the edge of the river where the young ladies were sitting just two hours ago, then sees a few coin shaped holes in the mud a long side the footprints he then gets a eerie feeling that he is being watched and then he hears a russell in the forest and then a c***k of a twik.  He looks behind him into the forest to see if he can see anything, but nothing. So he just fill his bucket up and runs back to his village and tells himself that he is just being paranoid. On his way back to his parents, the young boy sees Jane walking over to the village square and runs towards her and ask her ("if she wants to play with him"). She then respond with okay, but only ("if you help me with this") and then she puts her hands in her pocket and pulls out six bronze coins and tells the young boy that ("she is going to buy enough sweets for her, but he then has to help her finish all the sweets she has bought"). The young boy then accepts her deal and tells her ("that he first has to bring the bucket back to his mother"). She then tells him that ("she is coming with him"). The young boy then takes her hand and then holds on to it and tells her that they should go before the sweets are gone, both of them then start running towards his parents, but not too quickly.  The kids then come into the house and tell his mother that ("he has put the water away and is now going to play outside with Jane '') and as they are running out of the house the young boy's mother tells them both to ("not play so far"). The two kids then run towards the merchant wagon who is in the village square selling his goods and also buying the villagers goods.  The two of them goes up to one of his employes and tells ("her to give the two of them all the sweets this money can buy") and then Jane takes the money in her pocket and gives it to the lady in front of them and she then takes it and looks at the money and notice that the money Jane just gave her is the money of Odium kingdom and then she puts the money in her pouch and proceeds to give the kids all the sweets that they have and tells ("the kids to enjoy").  The two kids then run off with the sweets they have and go to the river and when they finally reach the river bed and sit on the edge and start eating all of the sweets that they have with them.  As the kids are sitting on the edge of the river bed just enjoying the sweets they have with themselves, suddenly a group of men who looked like they are bandits comes out on the other side of the forest. The kids then look and see that there is a group of bandits who want to take over their village.  The young boy then tells Jane to run back to the village as the bandits are busy running towards them and the kids runs as fast as they can, but the bandits are more faster then them and quickly catches up with them and takes them both and gives the two kids to one of the other men in the group with him to tie them up.  As the leader of the group of bandits gives the two kids to one of his teammates and tells him to tie them both up. The young boy breaks free and picks up sand from the forest floor and throws it in the bandits eyes and then kicks the leader in between the legs so that he can let go of Jane and as the leader of the bandits drops down on his knees he lets go of Jane and both of the kids starts running into the forest, but as the kids are running the leader of the bandits takes out a red crystal and starts squeezing it tight as a sirkel starts developing around his wrists as his fist turns glowing red and then a blast of fire shoots out of his balled up fits towards the young boy and a explosed develop as the fire ball touches the young boy clothes burning his clothes, his hair and his skin.  Jane sees how her friends back is being burn in the exploded as the sock wave form the explosion knocks her back to the bandits and she hits her head on the ground knocking her out and knocks the young boy into a tree in front of him and breaks a few off his ribs piercing threw his organs and threw his skin.   The bandit leader then stands up and runs to the river with his teammates following his lead and and wash the sand out of their eyes and then after they are done he tells them to go and check upon the kid he has just blasted with a ball of fire.  All of them run to the young boy and look and sees the body of the young boy laying on the forest floor covered in blood full of bruises with a few bones sticking out off his body with smoke coming from underneath his body and whit tears slowly falling down his cheeks. The bandits then goes back to Jane and sees that she is still unconscious the bandit leader then picks her up and tie her hands and feet and throws her over his shoulder and then he walks back to the edge of the river bed and then starts signalling the rest of the his group for them to come over, saying the coast is clear.
