Freya knocks on the cabin's wooden door repeatedly, but there is no answer.
''Sister Cecily, are you there?''
''....''
She knocks on the door again and again, but this time with more force, almost punching the door.
''Hello? Is anyone there? Sister Cecily?''
Again with no response, Freya gets annoyed and starts kicking the door, making really loud noises.
''SISTER CECILY I KNOW YOU ARE HERE, I'M WITH THE FBI, OPEN THE DOOR OR-''
The hut door was suddenly opened with force, hitting Freya's head, which was close to the door.
Freya falls to the ground from the blow and screams in pain, "Ouch !? What the fuck!!''She says while holding her forehead with both hands and with eyes closed.
''You...deserved it, and watch your....mouth.'' says an emotionless voice.
''Eh?''
Hearing the voice, Freya opened her eyes and saw the figure who opened the door.
'What the fuck is this shit? Is this a nun? Where did she got this outfit?' Freya thought looking at the figure with a strange expression.
''Are you Sister Cecily?''
''Yes.....its me, what.....do you want?''
The figure was the same size as the Head Nun, but what perplexed Freya, was that she was wearing a complete Plague Doctor outfit, covering all parts of her body.
''...''
Freya looks at her with blank eyes and says, ''I'm really going to regret asking this, but why are you dressed like that?''
''This is.....my casual outfit.''
''...''
Freya is silent for a few seconds to absorb the nonsense the Sister has just said. She then sighs and gets up from the floor.
''I see....I am going to rephrase the question, why is your casual outfit this.....thing?''
Putting her hand on her cheek, making her look thoughtful, Sister Cecily says ''Because.....I want to scare people....so they don't bother me?''
'Why the hell do you say that as a question?!' Freya thought.
''What.....do you want?'' Sister Cecily asks again.
''Oh, right.'' Freya scratches her head, remembering why she came here.
''I came here because I wanted to ask you to teach me how to hunt!'' She said, making a determined face.
Sister Cecily tilts her head to the side, ''Why?....Shouldn't children your age.....care about other things? Like....eating poop?''
''Why do you Sisters love to talk about poop?! You know what? Forget it, I want to learn to hunt because I need more meat to help me get strong, and for my breasts to get bigger!'' When Freya said the last part, her eyes shone with hope.
''Are you dumb.....or have any.....mental problems? Meat does not.....make the breasts grow.''
'Do these whores have a collective mind or what?' Freya thought.
Remembering Head Nun saying the same thing to her, she almost burst with anger with veins jumping from her bruised forehead.
''Can you teach me or not....bitch'' The last word was said in an almost nonexistent voice, so that the Sister would not hear it.
''I can....but first.....you need to pass a test.''
Freya raises her eyebrow, ''A test? What do I need to do?''
''Four hundred meters from here...there is a river. Your test is to reach the river.....cross it and survive for ten minutes....on the other side.'' Cecily says while pointing to a direction.
''Eh? Do I just need to do this? I thought the test would be more difficult, well, my luck!'' Freya says excitedly.
''...''
Sister Cecily looked at Freya. Inside the mask, you can see the expression of disbelief on her face.
'Does she really think that walking five hundred meters to the river in a forest without preparation, crossing a river with strong current, and surviving for ten minutes on the other side of the river, which is where dangerous beasts lives is easy? As I thought, she is either dumb or has mental problems. Well, I will watch her so she won't die.'
Sister Cecily thought the test was not easy for a complete hunting novice who had never ventured into a forest, but it wasn't a very complicated test either.
But what Sister Cecily didn't think about was that Freya is only 6 years old, and is in a state of malnutrition because of his lack of meat in the diet. Forget about preparation, at such a young age and so little strength, anything could kill her.
''Okay, I'm going to finish this quickly, wait for me and don't go back on your word!'' Freya said energetically.
''...Ok.'' Sister Cecily replied, entering the cabin and closing the door.
Freya then excitedly heads off into the forest in the direction Cecily pointed, but not before cursing Sister Cecily inwardly and giving her the middle finger over the incident with the door.

-Freya POV-
Walking through the forest, my stomach roars with hunger, it was so loud that I could be mistaken for a beast.
''Shit! I was so excited to learn how to hunt, that I forgot to eat my breakfast! Kenya must be crying while eating alone now, damn it!'' I said while holding my belly.
I'm not sure, but I think I'm already close to the river. My barefoot feet are hurting and bleeding, I'm tired, hungry, and I need to be careful not to trip and hurt myself. Who would think that walking in the forest is so difficult?
I should have become a Girl Scout in childhood on my old world when I had the chance.
Absorbed in my thoughts as I walk, I soon hear the sounds of running water. The sound was low, almost naldivel, but finally I arrived!
Walking for a few more hellish minutes, I finally find the damn river.
''Finally, I found the river!'' I said enthusiastically.
The river is not very wide, but it seems to have a great depth for a six-year-old girl, and its current is very strong.
''So .... how am I going to cross the river? I don't know how to swim.''
I sit on the floor and started to think how to cross the river.
''Let's see, I can't swim, and there's no fallen tree to help me get through, how did Sister Cecily think I could make it through without drowning? Does she want to see me dead?''
It's like she didn't even think I'm just a six-year-old girl....
''No.'' I say as I shook my head, ''Sister Cecily would not do that. Even though she hates contact with people, she always risks her life to bring meat to the Church, there must be something to help me get through, I'm just not seeing.''
''Hmmm.....think Freya, think!'' I started rubbing my hands over my head, to help circulate blood and clarify my ideas. I don't know if that works, but it never hurts to try.
I look around the river for awhile, and noticing something, a smile grows on my face. Looking a little further ahead, I could see some stones forming a path to the other side!
I quickly get up and head towards them, but as I get closer, I notice a problem.
''Damn, these stones are small and look so slippery! If I use this to cross I can fall and hurt myself, and probably I will die drowned. Is this really the only way?'' I scratch my chin in frustration.
I realized that there was no other way to cross the river, I had to use the stones to cross, so, I had an idea.
Tearing a few pieces of cloth from my sleeves and skirt, I tied them to my feet.
''Yeah, it's not a brilliant idea or the most effective one, but it will help me not to hurt more my feet, it will help to stop my bleeding and they can keep my feet dry so I don't slip during the crossing.''
'Taking a deep breath to concentrate and to put away my fear, I prepared myself to cross the river.
''Let's go!!'' I yells, trying to encourage myself.
I jumped on the first stone, and managed to keep my balance.
'I must be quick, if too many splashes of water fly at my feet, the cloth will be even more soaked, and the danger will only increase.' I thought.
Taking another deep breath, I start jumping from rock to rock, always trying to keep my balance.
''Oysho! Oysho!''
Jumping from stone to stone, I stayed firm and focused. And without realizing it, I reached the last stone, and after jumping to the last stone, I managed to make my way to the other side.
Arriving on the other side, I fell on the floor with my belly up, shaking and breathing heavily.
''Fuck, this shit was scary, but I think the worst part is over.''
I sit down and started to relax and rest.
'I need to get out of here, the river may seem safe, but I know it is the most dangerous part, as here is the only source of water, several animals will come here.' I thought as I watched the forest in front of me.
After a few seconds of rest, I got up and walked towards inside the forest.
When I entered, I could already hear several animal noises and signs on the trees, so I crouched down, regulated my breathing and started walking slowly and quietly.
Walking for three minutes in silence, I saw what could help me escape the animals and help me survive for the next seven minutes.
''Wow....this is a very big tree!'' I look up in surprise at the size of the tree. The tree is about sixteen meters tall.
Analyzing the tree, I could see that it has some cracks in the bark that could help me climb it.
''I was once a champion in climbing trees, this is a piece of cake!'' I said trying to encourage myself.
I started to climb the tree slowly, carefully and silently to not alert nearby animals, and to be careful not to fall.
While I was climbing, I thought about the test, ' This test of Sister Cecily is not so complicated, it is nothing like a suicide test. It is possible to complete it and it shouldn't be so difficult for me. But I should have prepared myself better before, I again neglected the dangers of nature.'
Reaching the top of a branch, I positioned myself comfortably and started to wait for time to pass.
''Hehe, go suck a dick Sister Cecily, it looks like your test is too easy for me!'' I was happy and proud, even though the test was not over yet.
But who cares, there shouldn't be such dangerous animals around here, which is so close to a village!
I relax even more and start counting the minutes internally.
'Four minutes.'
'Five minutes.'
'Six minutes.'
'Seven minu-'
When the time reached seven minutes I heard a rumbling noise near my location. The noise was so loud that several birds that were in nearby trees took flight in fear, and the ground shook for a moment.
''Eh?! What the fuck was that!!' I said while holding the branch to keep from falling.
In the midst of keeping myself balanced, I hear a deafening roar, and by the power of the roar, it is certain that it is a huge, furious beast.
The roar was close to my location, and from the noise that the creature is making right now, I can say that it is coming towards me.
''Oh fuck.....''
—————————
-Third POV-
*ROOOOOOOAR*
''Fuck....''
Freezing with fear after hearing the powerful roar, her mind went blank. She was listening the thing getting closer and closer to where she was.
''Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! What do I do now?!'' Panicking, Freya thought about getting out of the tree and running out of there, but after thinking a little better, staying sixteen meters from the ground on top of this tree was much safer than going down.
''Okay, calm down. I'm safe here, I just need to be silent and wait for whatever that thing is, to pass without attracting his attention.'' She says, breathing slowly to calm herself.
Looking in the direction of the sounds of the trees falling, about fifteen meters from where she is, she could seeit. It was a huge white Gorilla, at least 10 meters tall, with white fur, red eyes and with several scars on its body, which shows that it has gone through many battles.
The gorilla roars to the sky again, as if he is challenging it.
''...'' Freya remained silent and still, without moving a muscle and even without blinking. This is by far the scariest experience she has ever had.
The Gorilla was circling the area, he looked angry and seemed to be looking for something, until he stopped, he turned and looked in the direction Freya was in, but his eyes didn't meet, showing that he still didn't see her.
'Frigga, please don't let him notice me, I swear if I get out of here alive, I will start eating the peppers on the lunch and I swear I will stop stealing alcohol from the kitchen to drink hidden, so please....'
Praying hard, she didn't pay attention to the Gorilla for that brief moment. He was staring at the spot next to her, and that was towards the river.
In the place where the Gorilla was looking, another noise of falling trees started, and it was approaching quickly.
'Holy fucking shit! What is it now?!' With each passing moment, the more she clung to the branch, as if the branch was her only hope of survival.
The sound getting closer and closer, Freya and the Gorilla could see what it was.
It was a giant black Anaconda, with almost 30 meters long. When the sunlight reflected on its scales, it sparkles, showing that it has water on the scales. The giant snake was probably in the river.
'Great, first it was George the Gorilla, and now it's a fucking giant Anaconda? Why the fuck my luck is so bad?!' Freya thought.
The Gorilla got up on two legs and started to hit his chest to try to intimidate the snake, unfortunately it didn't seem to work, in fact it seemed to make her more angry.
The snake hisses in response, and doesn't flinch an inch.
Seeing that his intimidation was not working, the Gorilla prepared himself and ran with great force towards his opponent, the Anaconda seeing seeing him running towards her, she creeps swiftly towards him.
The Gorilla roars, and the Anaconda hisses. Neither of them seemed to stop or surrender, and then the two massive bodies collided.
The collision of the two titans created a huge shockwave, sending dust and vegetation all over the place.
'Oh my god, I think I shit myself!' Freya was watching the Titans fight closely and in amazement, she was very close to the battle and could feel the air exploding and the vibrations of each collision.
After the collision, the Anaconda was the first to recover. She crawls up to him with great agility and bite the Gorilla on his left shoulder and clung to it.
From the wound, blood begins to ooze from between the giant snake's fangs.
After biting him, she began to wrap herself around him with her massive body. Understanding her intention, the Gorilla started to roll, jump, punch and even bite her, trying to break the snake's grip.
The forest started to become a war zone with their battle, with broken trees and the soil decimated with several craters and cracks.
Not wanting to miss a second of this fight, Freya continued to observe silently on the branch, but after a few seconds, she became even more terrified and panicked, because the Titans were coming towards the tree she was on.
The two of them were getting closer and closer, and Freya could only curse and thinking about the breakfast she didn't eat. If she were to die, then at least die with the stomach full.
The two quickly reach the side of the tree, and the Gorilla crashes into it, trying to injure the snake.
The tree, unable to withstand such force hitting it, it breaks and falls backwards.
''KYAAAAAA'' Freya finds herself falling and then loses consciousness.

-Freya POV-
''Ugh....''
I woke up and saw an unknown ceiling.
I am feeling pain all over my body, I tried to move, but I couldn't. I can only move my head, my eyes and my mouth.
Moving my head, I see that I'm in a hut. It is not a big hut, it's very small actually. It has only one bed, which is where I am, a fireplace, a table next to the bed, and some random objects scattered around the house.
''Shit, why my body is paralyzed? Don't tell me, I became a paraplegic?'' I thought with fear of the possibility.
''Don't try to move....this is the medicine taking effect...just lie down and relax.'' I hear a familiar voice nearby.
''Huh?''
Turning my head in the direction of the familiar voice, I saw that someone had entered the house while holding a basket. It was a beautiful woman with long purple hair tied in a bun, her iris were also purple. She is dressed with a simple outfit, a black shirt and brown pants.
''Who are you?'' I ask suspiciously.
She just stood at the door, watching me with the basket in her hands.
And then I realise,''Wait, that slow way of talking ..... Sister Cecily, is that you?'' I say astonised.
''Yes...it's me. Who did you think it was.....a poop monster?'' She came in and sat next to me, placing the basket on the table.
I sigh, ''I really don't want to hear you talking about poop and your fixation with it right now.''
''I was.....just joking....to make you feel better'' She crouched down and took a fruit from the basket, she started to peel it with a knife, the fruit looked like a blue apple.
''Okay, that didn't work. Now, can you tell me what happened to me?''
''After you fell from the tree...I saved you, as the Gorilla and the Anaconda were focused on their fight.....I was able to get you out of there easily.''
''Wait, were you watching ?! Why didn't you help me before? I could have died!''
This bitch was watching me and didn't move a muscle to help me, if I died I would haunt you forever, mother fucker!
''I wanted to.....but I don't have the strength to fight those two.....I had to wait for the right moment to help you....I'm sorry. I didn't expect those two...to have a territorial fight today.'' She had a neutral face, but I could feel the guilt and anxiety in her voice.
''Shit.....okay, never mind that. It already happened and I'm still alive, but more important, why I can't move?''
''First....here....eat this.'' She pointed a piece of the peeled fruit towards my mouth.
''Oh, thanks, I didn't even have breakfast.'' I open my mouth and she puts the piece of fruit in my mouth, and I chew happily.
''You can't move.....because I gave you a medicine made from several plants.....and some of them have paralyzing enzymes.....the medicine will help you heal much faster.....you broke a lot of bones and tore some muscles.....luckily it was nothing serious.....but you still need to rest''
''How long until I heal?'' I say while chewing another piece of fruit. Damn, this blue fruit is really delicious!
''Hmmm.....probably.....two weeks?'' She said with a thoughtful face.
''Wait, I can't stay here for two weeks! I need to clean the boys bathroom! If I don't do it, I can receive a worse punishment! And Kenya can die without being able to stay close to me! I need to go back to the church!'' I anxiously try to move my body out of bed.
Sister Cecily flicked my forehead with her finger, ''Ouch! what the fuck! I'm hurt here, do you want to kill me?!''
''You don't have to worry.....I already sent a message to the Head Nun.....saying that you will be staying with me for three months.....and she agreed.''
''How long have I been unconscious for you to have done all this?!''
'' Six hours.''
''I see, but I'm still worried about Kenya ... wait, three months? Isn't it two weeks?''
Is she trying to mess with me?
''Didn't you want me.....to teach you how to hunt? you passed the test.....so after healing..... I'll teach you, and as for Kenya.....she can survive for some time.....without you.''
Did I pass the test? How?
Seeing the confusion in my eyes, Sister Cecily gave me another piece of the fruit, ''That fight for you may have been just a few seconds.....because of the adrenaline. But in reality.....they fought for three minutes until you fell unconscious.''
I was silent for a few seconds, absorbing what she just said, and then my expression brightened, ''Heh, hehe, so I passed, I'm really amazing!''
I'm really amazing, did I ever say I'm amazing? No? I'm super amazing!
Sister Cecily was watching me with dead eyes.
''What? Did I said something wrong?''
''...''
'' Just shup up..... and eat.''
''Aye aye Sir!''
Finally, the first part of my plan...or was it the second part? Anyway, finally my plans started!
