"Parker what are you, a dying dog, move it," a yell came for the distance.
A boy close to her, rose his head and looked towards the voice, his eyes meeting the skinny figure in navy blue trunks and a black hoody sweater. The face that owned the body was not smiling.
"What's your deal, dude. You think this trap is a quick fix. It requires precision or it will snap and I will be the hunt," Parker replied the voice in slight upset.
"I ain't talking to you, ugly parker. Am talking to your lazy handsome brother who is cat walking towards us. Why did we have to bring along anyways?"
"I told you like a thousand times, I need to baby sit him today. Just take your mind off him and you will soon forget he was ever here. Your eyes too."
There was a tone of emphasis on the 'eyes' part.
A giggle was heard immediately, apparently the owner of the figure was a girl.
Her checks slightly flushed by what he said. Parker looked at her and shuddered in disgust.
The girl continued laughing. Her full set of slightly tainted teeth exposing. Their chatter bought handsome Parker time to make it to where they stood.
"What's funny?" He asked, eager to join in on the discuss but like every other day, they said.
"Nothing," and he was ignored. His twin, ugly parker finished up with the trap and they moved further into the forest.
Today is 'Wild Wednesday', an annual ritual of the Damies, where the kids go out to the forest at their backyard to find dinner.
This year, they brought along the only thing they shared besides their face, which is Anamay, a girl from a grade below them who they were best friends with.
Anamay was to hold the bag where they would put the animals they caught. She was slender to near bones and average height. With pale white skin as if she was malnourished. Her weak figure made it only evil to give her a trap to set or a stick to hold. As the trio made deeper into the forest eroding them with the chirping of birds, the shattering sounds of leaves blown about by the wind and the waving trees; Ugly Parker continued his discuss with Anamay and Handsome Parker got more impatient.
Left behind in the back, his muttering kept him company.
"She is hanging with him again. We are all friends, why is she so cool with him. Ever since he became lord of the hunt last year, her attention has not left him. Girls like strong boys, that's it isn't it. If I win the hunt this year the tide might change."
He brushed his hair back. If he would win, eyes peeled is step one. He has to see the game fir… His thoughts broke.
He actually spotted something. It looked big even though they were far from it. His eyes flashed to his brother and Anamay. The were distracted, they didn't see it. He squeezed the stick in his hand; it's now or never.
Anamay was not the one talking now, it was ugly parker. That fact made her a bit conscious of the environ, at least enough to notice that Handsome Parker was not in sight. Still paying attention to Ugly Parker, she threw her eyes back to find him, her gaze met a near flying boy buffaloing towards them.
"Parker, move," she grabbed the boy before her and pushed him to the side, Handsome Parker raced past them immediately.
Ugly Parker was about to yell, ass on the ground from losing balance from that push but when he saw his brother run past, his anger changed direction.
"Porker!" he yelled at the corruption of their name which he always called his brother.
"What are you mad you son… bitch."
Handsome Parker was way too focused on his target to hear them. Stick in hand vibrating. Immediately he came close enough, he rose the old branch in the air but it stopped there.
Handsome Parker gulped.
"Shit," he cursed, wobbling back. He tripped on a rock and went on his ass immediately.
"Oh Shit, Parker!!!!! Anamay!!!! You gotta come see this It's huge, it's freaking ginormous."
Handsome Parker began to laugh like a real Maniac. The others were far from him. There's no way they could know he did not hit it. If Anamay comes here she will be so damn amazed.
"What in hell are you talking about, bastard," Ugly Parker got closer to his brother.
"You can't even say sorry for almost crashing into someone you Insane piece of…" and his words froze. He had seen the creature lying on the sand and dry leaves of the forest floor.
"Shit."
But it wasn't for completing his last statement.
"Is that a wolf?" Anamay's voice came from behind them. Nobody turned.
"Its too big to be a wolf. The color too. Black and grey, I have never heard of wolves that look like that."
"I caught it. I can't believe I caught something this big."
Handsome Parker scurried to his feet immediately, rushing to Anamay's side.
"Anamay what do you think, huh? Pretty cool."
"Dude, it's wicked. You sure you caught this"
The creature was three times the size of an ordinary wolf. It was insane that one man just took it down like that and the skimpy handsome Parker for that matter.
"Yeah. What, you don't believe me? If it's my bro you wouldn't argue it," he went on defensive immediately.
"Dude chill will you," Ugly Parker gave his brother a Pat on the shoulder.
"We don't even know what the hell it is. I mean look at it."
Handsome Parker looked, actually studying the creature this time. It's dirty fur looked like it would glow if they washed it. The legs as big as two human thighs put together.
A grown lion's head was the same size as it's own and then, claws; longer than Parker's fingers. Damn, it looks like it crawled out of hell, literally.
"Can you even eat that?"
Anamay asked a clearly ridiculous question.
"Lets bring it home first," Ugly parker suggest.
Unconsciously, the remaining Duo agreed.
