Part Two

Chapter 4

The mighty storm

2 seasons had gone by and Orla was now 5 years old the 3 oldest children were now 13 who were females named, Tuna, Kuka and Mina and still had awhile to go before they were 14 Tuna was the oldest by two moons and the youngest of the teeniest Mina had just turned 13 half a moon away from Kuka Then there was 2 males who were 11 and they were Ghali and Bobo. Ghali was destined to become a master parent, but that was not going to happen for awhile yet.

One morning Orla was woken up by a very thunderous noise outside her hut and when she looked out saw the ocean waves wear rising very high and she saw a tornado heading for the island. The three oldest children got all the little ones to take shelter in the school until the storm had passed and Orla was very scared but she also knew that Seven who was now 4 years old the youngest and a male was also scared. So little Orla put her arms round his shoulders to comfort him and they sat together huddled together until the storm had passed.

The mighty storm lasted 3 days and the 3 older children had managed to pick the mushrooms they found and had them in the building just before the worst of the storm happened. They had to remain in the school building, just with the rations of food they had. It was just as will as when the storm had passed, all the food had disappeared.

Chapter 5

Living on mushrooms

Most of the children were weakening with not enough food to eat. The oldest child Tuna who became very bossy orders the youngest about to keep on looking for mushrooms. Tuna had red hair in a bob type style and wear a red dress. Then as Tala the GC who was making more berries grow and replacing the crops once again. Tuna asked Tala, 'who is going to harvest the crops there are no adults yet, so it's no good keeping on making them grow, but you could make magic food though please!!!'
'I can only do it if I am doing nothing!!!' replied Tala.
'Okay in your own time.' Still a child she thought I should not have this worry, and then she suddenly realised she was 14 and old enough to harvest the crops and with the farming skill she inherited from her parents had an idea how to do it. Tuna had to do it several times until she got the hand of how it was done and gained more skill to Trainee Farmer.

Chapter 6

Hard Work for Tuna on her own

Tuna found it hard going trying to get enough food for 60 mouths to feed and she could not get enough food as each time she either put a fish or the crops in the food bin the food would get eaten and nothing for her to eat. It would be a full moon before one of her fellow villagers was old enough to work. Tala just by luck decided to create some magic food giving the villagers 150 foods. Tuna decided to eat some of the magic food before it was eaten by the others and felt better after she eaten, then she went back fishing again. Tuna by this time had reached the status of Adept Farmer.

One full moon later Kuka who was a half sister to Mina and Tuna also had the same hairstyle as Tuna and Mina, just turned 14 want to work straight away and had no problem harvesting the crops or foraging the berries and soon got the food bin filled a lot quicker to the relief of Tuna. Tuna decided to take a well earned rest and went to her favourite place under the palm tree on the beach to relax. Just as she was relaxing The Golden Child decided to make a party and knowing it was rude not to join in reluctantly joined the party to dance. Still not enough food yet to feed 60 mouths.

Chapter 7

A barrel of babies

Three dawns later Seven noticed a very large barrel bobbing on top of the waves in the ocean, so he went to inform Tuna who was the oldest and Tuna, Mina and Kuka dived into the ocean and retrieved the barrel and was surprise to find 3 toddlers who looked very hungry and had no idea where they where. Luckily enough they had now enough food to feed the 3 extra mouths. The 3 children were two females and one male. Tuna asked who they were and the oldest a male child said his name was Tomi and is age 4 and his sister who was age 3 was Vava and cousin was Amaci all three had black hair. After they had been fed all three children soon made friends and they always seem to giggle a lot.
