Randy and Sarah (Part 1)

Her parents didn’t mind at all. They knew if it was too bad for the kids to travel back to her house then they would be safe at Randy’s. At this moment the wind was picking up and it was pretty bad out side. For a short while it began to hail but that didn’t last long.

The next morning Sarah woke up to an empty house. She wondered were Randy was. She decided to pick flowers while she waited for him. Sarah went along side the house and picked Wild Purple Gladiolas, which she had planted last spring.

It was stile very early in the morning. And Sarah was still a little tiered so when she saw her necklace glowing she really didn’t pay it any thought. Then it hit her, she quickly toke the necklace off and threw it on the ground. After a few seconds it stopped glowing. She brought it in side with the flowers.

Sarah put the flowers in an old vase. She then put her necklace on the table and watched it. After a couple minutes of nothing she decided it must have been her imagination. Sarah started picking up the house and making it look nice.

"Sarah!" Randy shouted from outside. "I need some help." Sarah ran out the door and was delightfully surprised to see Randy had hunted down and killed a wild boar.

"O my goodness, it’s really big." She helped him drag the animal up to the house. Even with Sarah helping the boar was still hard to move. It probably weighed 100 lbs, if not more.

After the kids placed dead boar were they wanted it, they quickly got all the supplies needed to clean it. Sarah grabbed the water and liquids that they would use to preserve the hide of the boar. Randy got all the big bowls in his house and the knifes he would use to cut the meat up.

The kids looked so organized. It was amazing how quickly and easily they had skinned and cleaned the animal. It was obvious they had done this before.

Only a few minutes had passed by before they were sitting on the couch in the living room. Randy rolled up his pants to reveal a very nasty bruise on his right leg. "Where did you get that?" Sarah asked. Apparently Randy was slammed up against a tree by the boar. It hurt but Randy could still walk fine.

As it came closer to noon Randy brought Sarah home along with 40 lbs. of fresh meat. Sarah’s parents were so grateful to Randy for the meat. "How would you like to go with us to the market tomorrow?" Sarah’s mom asked Randy. They agreed and decided that Randy would be there early in the morning.

When Randy got home he put together some things he would bring with him to the market. He gathered a few furs and special items he could trade. He thought about bringing some boar meat but decided he could get a better use out of it. After he put everything he wanted to take with him into a big shoulder bag he went to sleep.

Sarah’s Dad had rigged up three horses for the trip. Sarah and Randy rode on the same horse. It took them awhile to get to town but well worth it. It was a place Randy had only gone to a couple of times in his life.

The market was amazing. There were so many people, with all kinds of things to buy and to sell. They had everything from food and spices to armor and weapons.
