HOW THE BOY ESCAPED THE DEATH OF SACRIFICE

“How are you doing Chris?”said his little brother Seth.

“What are you up to now? You never ask me that unless you want me to lend you some money or want me to take you somewhere. Or do something for you.”

“Okay, I need help on the garden because mom wants me to weed it and then plant the whole thing because I said a bad word.”

“Too bad, but I’m not helping you because I have to clean my bed off so I can go hunting for dinner with Justin.”

“Is Luke going too?”

“Ya, what’s it matter to you.”

“Mom said if Luke was going with you that I could have his brother Levi over.”

“Not fair I have to go hunting and you get to stay home and play?!”

“Yep.”

“You stink, I’m going to get you a turtle and mushrooms for dinner instead of deer like you wanted.”

“No you won’t , because if you do I’ll tell Mom and you won’t be able to go hunting! SO THERE!!”

Well, Chris couldn’t get turtle for his brother because Seth would tell their mom and then Chris really wouldn’t be able to go hunting and he probably would be grounded for 2 months, but he could get mushrooms for his little brother because their mom always made them eat mushrooms, he’d just get extra for Seth.

Chris, Luke, and Justin went out hunting and they got 2 deer and 1 fox. That would be enough for 1 month or so. They also got 100 mushrooms for 10 people. Everyone got 5 except his little brother Seth who got to eat 50 all by himself. While he was trying not to vomit while eating the mushrooms, everyone else was laughing.

That night the village started wailing and that meant that the people that killed other people for sacrifices were coming.

Chris said for his friends and family to run and most of them did but his parents and his little brother thought that if they ran the gods would only kill them in the wild. So Chris and his 2 friends ran away for they already knew how to hunt and they knew how to build a long house and make clothes.

Chris’s parents got killed that night and the killer was looking for Seth but Seth had decided to come and he caught up to the friends real fast for the friends had stopped for the night because it was to dark to run anymore.

The best trackers in the village were sent out to find them. The kids figured that they would send the trackers out to find them because without sacrificing a whole family they thought that the gods would bring some horrible plague upon them. The 3 friends and the little brother did not believe in that stuff, they believed in nothing!

“I don’t understand why everyone is willing to die for something they can’t see and there are many of them.”said Chris.

“I think all our parents would be willing to die for those things they can’t see.”said Justin.

All the friends agreed that their parents would be willing to die for those silly gods of theirs they said. The friends figured that they had better move on before the trackers found them found them.

They ran from the trackers for about 10 years, crossing into the U.S., until they crossed the Mississippi River. After that the trackers never found them.

The 3 friends mourned for a long time for Chris’s brother Seth had gotten killed as a sacrifice to the gods because he had asthma and had to stop for a moment and get a breath and the trackers caught him and killed him.

Chris, Justin, and Luke found a tribe that some how got 3 girls from the village that they came from and was going to kill them fro sacrifices too. The friends went into the village and got the 3 girls. They took them somewhere were no one was and they started their own tribe. They called it the Apache tribe. They never had any gods or never made any sacrifices. That is how the Apache tribe came into the U.S.

The End
