I could feel the fire from where I was just not enough to stay warm. The crackling of the fire sounded so soothing it was like a lullaby to my ears. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath then I smelt the beginnings of a stew, rabbit if wasn’t mistaken. My mouth was salivating but I couldn’t show weakness and hunger was a weakness. I’m sure he noticed my features because he then said, “ I can see you’re hungry.â€?
He had this mocking all knowing smug smile on his face that was so demeaning I wanted to wipe the floor with him but I never got the chance.
Right at that moment we heard a loud swooping noise from out side for some reason the once calm smug faced prick was now extremely worried which in turn worried me.
The screech got closer until we heard it right outside the door. Then there was silence. Complete silence. The kind of unnatural silence that scares u to death.
