   My story, chapter 4
Rio woke up the next morning thinking to her self; I how could this have happened, I mean I was just going along my normal day until I flipped off my bike. Maybe there’s a secret…
“Rio are you ready,” Keota cut in as she was thinking.
“Ready for what?” Rio asked back.
“Well to learn how to use the bow of course” Keota said
“Oh, okay” Rio replied
Then Keota and Rio went again to the lighter parts of the forest, they came across a group of deer.
“This should be perfect for practice,” Keota said.
“But I’ve never used a bow and arrow before, I hardly ever seen them used,” Rio said getting frightened now.
“It’s very easy once you get a hang of it,” Keota said trying to enlighten her.
“And how long would that take” Rio asked.
“It depends on the person who is learning, some people take two weeks some people take two years.”
“Well how long do you think it will take me,” Rio asked curiously.
“Shh, the deer are moving,” Keota said not answering Rio’s question.
“Now you need to hold the bow with your left hand on the front part using your thumb to hold the front part of the arrow and your right hand holding the string and holding the arrow in place, then you aim and fire, okay,” Keota instructed.
“Okay,”
The fist time Rio tried it she had gotten way off, Rio started to get discouraged, but then the second time she actually hit the deer.
“I believe you are one of the gifted ones,” Keota said astonished at Rio quick learning and accuracy.
“What do you mean the gifted ones?” Rio asked
“I mean you have skill probably from your ancestors who used bow and arrows,” Keota replied.
“Oh,”
As Rio and Keota mad their way back to the cave, Rio saw an engraving in a tree and then remembered when she was around the age of ten her family had a big tree in the front yard that they had engraved a heart with all their names on it, then it hit her, she realized then that she really missed her family. Rio suddenly crouched down and started crying.
“Dear child, what is wrong,” Keota said very worried.
“I miss my family so much, do you think I’ll be going back soon?” said Rio with tears in her eyes.
“Well, I don’t know it depends,”
“Depends on what?” Rio asked
“On what you choose,”
