Entranced
“I stifle a yawn as I lower the bow to my side, frustrated over how exhausted I am.
I was right about the Guardians. By the time I finished answering their questions, it was nearing sunrise. I probably got a total of two hours of sleep before I had to wake up to go shooting with my grandpa Lucas.
“You seem tired,” Grandpa Lucas remarks with an I’m-so-gonna-win-this-competition smile. Like me, he’s competitive, so he isn’t going easy on me just because I’m his granddaughter. “Stay out too late?”
...“Like you don’t already know the answer,” I say in a teasing tone.

You may think you were talking quietly, but my teenage hearing is way better than your old people hearing.”
He shoots me a joking scowl. “Hey, I’m not that old.” He raises the bow with an arrow loaded, shoots it straight into the center of the target, and then grins at me because he just won the competition.MoreLess
