§ Picking a Peach §
Her legs burned as she trudged through the thick scrub if the dense woodland. Not really caring where she was heading now her only though was to get out of the darn woods.
The day had started good when she had set out that morning hunting but that silly rabbit had dragged her deeper into the woods on a mad dash. Even worse was she had missed the rabbit so had nothing for it.
Trudging through the this bush had made her cold and hungry and now the sun was going down.
Then off to one side she saw a light, only a small dot at first, She rushed towards it.
As the trees thinned she noticed they looked to be fruit trees.
"an orchard?" she said out loud to herself as she walked towards the centre.
"It is." said a voice from beside her. "And your late."
Looking down she was shocked to see someone leading them towards a large tree in the middle, The light was so faint that she could not make out more from the person.
Standing under the tree she could see a few fruit hanging on the branches above.
Wondering what she meant to do a peach suddenly fell towards her.
~Catch me~ a voice seemed to call to her, moving over slightly she caught the peach and was surprised to feel a heartbeat coming from the peach
