4. Djaq hated carrots. As she saw them being poured onto her makeshift plate, she cringed. It was too late to tell Much, as he held out her plate, his eyes wide with pride from his own creation. Tonight was a special dinner, as it was one year since the group had been born. Much has gotten up early just so as to start on with dinner at the first opportunity. He’d prepared the meat, sliced the vegetables, and even cleaned the cutlery. He was very proud.
Djaq, as the stench of carrots attacked her senses, felt sick. She poked at the bright orange substance with her little finger, disgusted at it’s cheery appearance. She could feel someone looking at her, and noticed Allan glancing quickly out of the corner of her eye. She scoffed quietly; glad at the sight of Much’s turned back. She went to take a sip of some homemade fruit juice, when the sound of an animal behind her shocked her, causing her to jolt and spill juice down her chest. She rolled her eyes, placed her plate down quietly before quickly excusing herself.
On her return, she saw everyone was sat down, already half way through their meals. She picked up her plate without looking, and placed it on her lap. She glanced down and froze in shock. Removed from her plate where the dreaded fluorescent orange carrots, and in their place where some extra mellow green peas. She smiled in surprise as she turned her head up, searching the group for the culprit. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him drop his gaze quickly. Turning towards him, she tried to catch his eye so she could thank him. He avoided her glance, and kept his eyes downwards onto his plate.
With a sigh, Djaq figured the ‘thank yous’ could wait for later, as she grinned and tucked into her carrot-less dinner.
Okay, so to be honest, I have no idea as to whether any of this is historically incorrect etc. But oh well.
Now, I would like to ask a favour.
I need help with the last two chapters, inspiration hasn't exactly hit me with a huge force over the last few days. Any ideas/plot suggestions or just simple prompts?
I know, I'm terrible for asking, but otherwise I may never finish the damn fic.
Anyway, hope you liked this chapter, and please comment, even if it is just to tell me off for begging.
