Two lost kids

I walked away from my house with my sister after getting punched in my face because I stole some fruit for my little sister, she was crying after seeing her older brother getting punched and she cannot do anything , the sun is so hot and I wasn’t wearing anything to cover my foot because I gave my shoe to my sister .

“ Marco where will we sleep tonight? “

“ Dont worry your brother will find a place to sleep “

I smiled to her so she don’t be scared, I knew that it willl be hard to find a safe place away from the animal, our village was in the middle of the forest where many bears live.

I found some old arrows I could use them to hunt some fish and some birds , I asked Lina to climb to tree to stay safe up until I come back with some food.

“ Lina I will go search for some food stay her okay ?”

“ I will be waiting for you “

How could my father leave his family like this and go he didn’t keep any money for us , my mother died because she didn’t eat  for a week and she was selling everything we have just to buy food for me and my sister.

I walked for a long distance searching for some water and food , then I heard a voice from behind, I pointed my arrow at him , I saw a little boy holding a bowl full with water .

“ hey you what’s is your name”

He replies “ m.. my name is …. Kai my name is Kai “

I smiled to him and say “ And I am Marco nice to meet you Kai , do you know where is the river??”

“Yes the river is in the north” and he pointed to the direction.

I thanked him and we went together to catch some fish.

“Marco what are you doing here in the forest alone ?”

“I’m not alone I’m here with my sister she is … “

I remembered that I’m my sister is waiting for me , I went running to the place that I leaved her in , Kai followed me .

“ hah….hah… Lina… where are you..”

She runs towards me, she was crying and she said “ Marco where you’ve been ?”

“I was searching for food the I met this boy called Kai”

“H..hi my name is Kai … nice to meet you"

“Hello Kai I’m Lina nice to meet you “ and she smiles with her eyes full with tears.

We went together searching for food , Kai is a very kind boy who leave in a nearby village called kanji, his mother is dead like my mother and he have three siblings two boys and one girl, I have an older brother called Theo but he left us when I was nine.

“Uh we didn’t catch any fish “ Lina said

“ come to my house my father is so good at cooking !!”

Me and Lina shout together “ oh really , thank you Kai !!!!!!!”

We went with Kia to his village, it looks so similar to our village, we entered Kai’s house , we met his family they was so kind with us, and his father was a very good chef.

“ you told me your name was Marco “

“ yes sir and this is my sister Lina “

“ from where did you come?? “

“ We came from Kyoto village “

He stopped eating and he stand up and shout “ get out of my house right now!!”
