No!

     I walked up the hill carrying my satchel with the food that I have collected. I got to the top, and I smelled the crispy, fresh smell of smoke. I froze in my spot. I looked out to my village, and I realized what was going on. My village was on fire! I couldn't believe it, and I ran to my home. Everyone was frantic and running around, crazily, trying to get help. I saw some people with weird helmets I've never seen before. I just thought of only one thing. The Vikings have arrived to our homes. No! I can't let anything happen to my family! I run to my home, seeing that my family is in the cellar of the house, and I call them out. I first get a canteen of water, and then hear the stomps of horses. They are coming nearer and nearer by the second.
     I yell for them to come out, and I see my father, mother, and siblings come out of there. We run away as fast as we can ever go. We are running, and just trying to stay alive. We took only the necessities from our home. I had just gotten berries, nuts, fruits, vegetables, and water. That was all we needed to survive. We saw a stray horse out in the open, and we all climbed on getting away. Luckily, I was able to ride a horse in the family. I told it to ride on faster and faster into the forest. We finally got very far from our village, and we were alone. We found a small cave, and decided to stay there. It was the perfect temperature, but we still needed to get some sort of blanket from somewhere. Then I realized I had my enormous cloak with me. We can all fit in the cloak as we sleep. I cook up a dinner, and fetch some more water from the nearby stream, and we enjoy. I will have to go hunting out tomorrow in the morning, for we need food every day. I am glad that we escaped the Vikings, and that I was lucky enough to have food and water with me during the escape.
