‘EVERYONE!’ I tried to calm the noise and get as many people's attention as possible. ‘We are under attack, now is not the time to panic.’ I saw my father running out towards us with my mother. ‘The forest is on fire!’ Somebody shouted. ‘I’m aware. Now we need to come together and ensure our survival.’ Everyone was grumbling, panicking, but we didn’t have time for that. ‘You haven’t even been chief for a day yet!’ Everyone agrees. The animosity is unreal. How do they think I feel? I didn’t want this on my first f*****g day as the chief! ‘Show your chief some respect!’ My father said, which immediately brought a sense of silence. ‘Anyone who is ready, willing, and able to fight needs to prepare to go to battle. We have to find the wolves responsible for this and put an end to them.’
