Piggyback Ride

*Flashback*

"Piggyback!"

"No."

"Please!"

Lucas gave her a stern look which made Lillian pout. They were out in the forest to collect berries. The trackers on their feet were still green and they were not allowed to venture more than ten meters away from the house. If they crossed the limit, the tracker would explode because it had a tiny bomb attached to it. 

It was a sunny day with a clear blue sky. He could hear the birds chirping from the tall trees around them. The house they were kept captive in was situated in the middle of the thick forest with little contact with the outside world. Sometimes they were allowed these controlled outings but only for twenty minutes. If they crossed the allotted time, the consequences were bad for both of them.
