Game of cat and mouse

Chapter 2

 I woke the next morning with Zain shaking my shoulder 

          "May hey May wake up" I heard Zain say I opened my eyes and looked at my brother I yawned and sat up  

          "what's wrong big brother" I muttered as I rubbed my eyes 

          "I got dinner" he said with a grin and held up a fish I got up quickly and looked at the large fish who's breed i did not know for sure

          "were did u get that" 

          "3 miles up the dry river there is damn and a lake" I smiled at my brother. Zain walked over to an old stove it didn't work any more but it made a good place to hold a fire, Zain retrieved a on pocket knife from inside his shoe and a small piece of black flint. 

He took up some thatch and dry leaves from a small bag on the floor and put it in the dip in the stove top where the fire would take root; Zain took the back of his knife and struck the Onyx colored stone a spark flew from it, but it did not reach the tinder he struck again harder with more propose. 

This time sparks landed on the pile and took all most instantly, he feed the infant flame a gently breath of air. The new born flame soon turned into a toddler. Zain smiled at me i smiled and clapped gently. 

He made hast pulling the bones out as well as descaling and gutting the dead water creature all with the help of his knife i had to look away, the blood and guts of the poor creature made me feel sick. I knew it couldn't feel it but it still made my heart ache with remorse for the fish. 

It was a good 10 minuets of waiting till Zain handed me a piece of the of the fish i bit into it, it had a rubbery texture but it was better then nothing in this part of the woods game was so rare we rarely ever had meat that wasn't stolen from the butcher. 

I looked at my brother he seemed to be enjoying his fish then suddenly one of our traps sounded Zain jumped to his feet with out a word he motioned for me to follow him to the window where he prided it open

          "lets go move move move!" a male voice yelled i heard foot steps getting closer i hurried to Zain he hugged me and handed me his knife as well as mine and his nap sake 

          "run" he whispered to me

          "run and don't look back"

          "what about u Zain they'll kill u...unless u want to let them kill u" i whispered Zain frowned and looked down at me 

          "I'll distract them long enough for u to get away when its safe come back and gather when ever else u should need but don't stay here" he whispered 

"down here!" the voice yelled again Zain shoved me to the window 

          "go now!" he whisper yelled i hurried and climbed out the window using a few vines when i was close enough to the ground i jumped i run i few feet and despite my brothers warning i hide in a bush and looked at the window i escaped from |POP...POP...POP POP POP!| i heard the loud bang of gun fire and the unmistakable flash of light i held my mouth tight i wanted to scream for my brother i wanted to curl up in a ball and cry my brother...no my world was gone what was i going to do now
