That was the name given to me after my return from the dead But I call myself Zee. My dad is a hunter and mom is a farmer (inheritance) and also a trader(work), Yep You guessed right we are poor. But that dosen't mean I will not have my full 5 square meal per day, hunhun nope nothing can change that. Every week days my dad go hunting with his fellow hunting friends and return by weekends, sometime he comes home with great, good, or nice kill base on how Happy he is. During the hunting scheme. I stay home to help my mom at farm and also help her trade in the market. Life was so easy and sweet for us. It was a perfect family.) (We lived in a small rural area, thats at country side where it not too populated, We were surrounded by bushes or I should say forest. But to be honest we are making a living, my parent just like laying low. No disturbance. Everywhere was cool. I get to play with Other kids and have Fun while helping my mum, there is fresh vegetation, fresh meat, sometimes fish. It was perfect. At the dinning room Dad: Zee next time when u see me with people, an information like that is risky u need to be smart about it. Zee: what info dad Dad: the food kind of info. Zee: why? Dad: why? he is asking me why, honey your son is asking me why. Why will he ask me why? Mom just stare at him Mom: (ignoring dad Now facing me) . How is the food do you enjoy it. Zee: Yeah mom I love it Dad: I also love it, (looking at me with dead stare.) (Wait why is he looking at me like that its not like I've done anything that piss him off today, it's morning for GOD sake) Zee: (feeling unease) Dad is everything alright. Dad: yes son all is well (A wicked grin appear on his face) Mom: don't mind your dad he is just playing with you Now wash the dishes and get the farm product ready we are going to the market. Dad cut in Dad:yeah that remind me. Ezra is now 10 years old I think it's time to take him out for hunting. Get ready son the journey start tomorrow night Mum: wait he is not prepared, plus he is still a child. Dad: Of course he is a child our child. Mom: that's not want am saying I mean he is a kid 10year old for GOD sake Dad:what the hell, he is not a kid anymore he is 10 years old for god sake. Mom: 10 year old is not a kid anymore to you? then what is he if he is not kid Dad: he is a grown up kid Mom: what are you even saying He could get injured or worst killed by wild animal and am not ready to cry over my Son.......... Mom and dad arguing. To be honest I wish I have my say here, to be honest I want to go hunting with Dad I've been to farm and market with mum for the past 10 years and I know a lot about it, at first it was fun but later it was kinda boring, plus I wanna try something new I cut their argument Zee: Mom, Dad I've made up my mind I wanna go hunting with dad. I really want to feel the jungle I want to see different kind of animal (most of all slautering them). And the best part I wanna spend more time with dad. Dad: wow son th..that is the most beautiful thing you ever said to Me. Zee:?? Mom: wh..what. ahh, no I can't allow this Zee:( in a light, silent cool voice) shhh mom dad is brave and strong, he can look after me. Right dad? Dad:(checking himself out) what? Oh right, of course son I promise ☺☺. Whatever Mom:(sign) okay if that is what you want. Please be careful son do whatever ur Dad ask u to do except facing a wild animal while drinking whine, yes I know my husband. One of the reason why I never go hunting with him Zee: alright mum, (I pack the dish for washing and after that I went out to play with the other kids and do some stuff to piss my dad off make him wish he never had me. . I feel like the night should just fall down. Am so eager for tomorrow adventure) Finally a star light rising out of darkness to spread it's brightness to all places. Mom: good morning dear Zee: Morning mom Mom: here is ur breakfast in bed, but first brush ur teeth. Zee: okay mum. Later in the evening Dad: son are you ready? Zee: yeah Am born ready. Dad has been teaching Me all about hunting stuff but I haven't practice real life hunting, just keep sticking arrow into a God damn trees am bored of that it's time to try real stuff. I don't know why but I feel so exited about this. Dad: Okay let's go meet up with our friends. Zee: alright. When we get to the meeting grounds, they are gone, We were late they left without us. Dad: Those sons of bitches, they should have wait even if it just for more minute. (he looked at me) Well Son looks like we going in solo. In the forest It night already and to be honest I am scared as s**t as if somethings gonna pop out anywhere anytime,. Unexpected everywhere was dead silence, Dad keep holding me by his side as we make our way deep inside the Black Forest, this forest is a legend. Legend has it that at this particular time of the year the forest yeld great fruit, as it attractive to the domestic and wide animals. It's dark we can't see a lot if things but Dad is familiar with this place which makes it easy to go through. . (silent voice mode activated) Zee: Wait, I think I saw something Dad: what is that (excited) you re Not scared are you Zee: nope not at all( oh hell yeah am about to pee my pants) It's over there. (pointing to it direction) Dad: Yeah I see It, its a deer they are common u can identify it by its long horns and a short tail. Zee: but dad how did u know it's a deer can u see it Clearly Dad: feeling proud) well ur dad is experience. Okay let me show u how to deal with Food like this, (Dad try to be as quiet as he could cuz any slight Noise the meat goes away. He brought out his sniper rifle with scope, aiming it at its leg and make a shot. PPOOOWWWW, s**t, Damn, that really scared The hell out of me.) Dad: I got that fucker Let go get it. We rush to the struggling deer, he was hit pretty bad, Oh God I feel pity but I wonder how good it will taste. To ease his pain dad slaughter it. He was happy he got a big one Dad:looks like we will go home early this time son you really are a Goodluck. Then I heard some growls, dad also hear it he look behind him, (Normal voice mode activated) Dad: Stay behind me, oh s**t!, oh my God!. Zee: what is that? Dad: I take it back you are a bad luck, Zee: (getting scared, hurrely hide behind my dad.) what is it. Dad: oh my God it's the Black Lion. Note: Black Lion in black forest are not ordinary like other black normal lions, this lion are 4 Meter tall and 5 Meter wide. They have long canines use for slicing or wounding animal deep in the flesh, They weight almost 550 pounds they are so frightening and very aggressive no one sees one and live to tell the story, well I survive it and that's why am telling it today. To take beast like this down it's requires men.
