chapter 4
Chapter 4
That morning Sorin was rudely awoken to the sound of vomiting and a whip cracking. He leapt out of bed to see what was happening. What he saw sickened him; his father was standing beside Abidan, whipping and cursing at him every time he vomited.
“Stop” Sorin cried he could not stand the sight of his father whipping someone so close to him.
His father simply cracked the whip at his feet and said “or you’ll do what”. He smirked and continued to stand over Abidan like a vulture over a dieing animal. Sorin stood for a moment and thought this is too much I’ve got to get us out of here. But the old man will kill both of us if we try to run. He still stood he knew what he had to do but his legs wouldn’t let him do it. Finally after standing and watch his cousin take this abuse he let himself go. Sorin charged like an angry bull at his uncle and almost knocked him over. He grabbed his cousin and ran to the woods at the far side of the barn.
They ran for a while, that is until Abidan stopped to vomit again, but after that they would just keep running until they could no longer.
“Why did you do that” Abidan asked panting between words.
“I couldn’t just sit their and do nothing” Sorin replied also panting.
“Well thanks” Abidan wheezed “But though it was nice it wasn’t smart. Now we don’t have food or shelter”.
“Sorry” Sorin said “It’s just that I have had enough of this. The old man making us run that mill while he drank and made money off our efforts”
His words apparently affected Abidan because he paused looking as if he agreed but didn’t want to.
“Besides” Sorin continued “your twenty-two so it won’t be hard for you to find a job.”
“Fine” Abidan said before he could be convinced any further “But where are we going to go”.
“I haven’t thought about it yet but for now let’s go to the town Aditya
In the north, its close and we can earn some money there so that we can go somewhere that we want to go to”.
“Sounds great” Abidan said not wanting to start another argument. So using the suns position the started north only thing was that they couldn’t see the mountains or mark their position by familiar land marks. Though there was that familiar sense of which way not to go. Soon the sun was high in the sky over their heads. “Do you know how much farther?” asked Abidan.
“Not a clue, but we better be careful now that the sun is in the dead center of the sky we might lose direction.” Sorin replied. They had been walking for what felt like hours and Sorin's stomach was starting to show signs of anger toward the lack of food. The farther that Sorin and Abidan walked the weaker their legs seemed to get. Finally they decided to take a brake.
“Ung, I need food” Sorin wined
“I totally agree, but where are we gonna get it all the way out here!?” Abidan groaned.
“I donno, I wish I knew how close we are to Aditya”
“Well we can’t be very far, it’s about a days walk if you take the road and we’re cutting through”
Sorin stood, gave his cousin a warm smile and continued walking. Just as they had about given up they heard the sound of carts being pulled by horses, and people talking, they immediately knew that they had reached Aditya.
