I walk outside the house and spot Thomas smacking a tree with a huge axe. "Wanna go hunting?" I ask "Sure" reply's Thomas. He raises his sword and so do I. We are just about to finish hunting when we hear rumbling from Death Point (It was a QuiKiller, silent grenades that rumble the ground after it kills someone), then we hear shooting. "I heard the army is going in to capture Death Point." says Thomas. "I figured" I mumble. We go hunting, and end up with 4 squirrels, a rabbit, and 3 turkeys. "Not the best hunting day, eh?" I ask "Nope" sighs Thomas. "I guess I'll go home now. See you tommorow." I say "Okay" Thomas says. We are about to split up when we see one of Brandts arrows sizzle past us. "Guys!" Brandt yells "The army is recruiting anyone that can handle a weapon! We need to be at the Death Point Center by noon tommorow!" yells Brandt. I'm in a state of fear and shock and excitement all at once. "I need to say my goodbye's" I say, sadly. I run home, ignoring the yells from Thomas and Brandt. Once I get there, I go straight to our work room, pick up a strong and thick sheet of iron, leather, and some tools. I go to work right away on making myself a shield. I work for hours until noon. Twenty four hours left until I leave..I think. I also make myself a strong, short bladed knife. Once I'm done, I make myself straps to hold everything with the remaining leather. I go to my mothers room and say my goodbyes to everyone. The kids are crying and hugging me, while my mother just hugs me and wishes me luck. Once I get to the point where I can't stand it anymore, I run out the door.
