"Clayton! Wake up!" Clayton shot up instantly, looking for the source of the yelling.
As his face met his mother, his annoyance shot up. "This birthday thing is complete bullshit."
"Yes, I know, but we have to put up a great example for the other families."
'Of fucking course.'
"Okay, I'll get ready."
"Thank you." His mom smiled as she rushed to prepare.
It's hard being rich. Now, now I don't want to sound snobby, but when every special moment meant to be spent with your family is turned into some big event attended by rich idiots, it starts to get annoying.
Not that I could do anything about it... when your mom starts begging desperately, you start to feel bad.
Oh well, I slid the comforter off my body and opened the closet. I took out a plain black suit with my family's logo on the right side of the suit jacket reading 'Hall.'
Sighing, I readied myself putting on an undershirt before I gradually put the whole suit on.
After dressing up, I made my way downstairs to the living room. No one was there, so I made my way to the kitchen, and no one was still there.
"Mom? Dad?" Think Clayton, it's your birthday and both of your parents aren't here, neither are the house servants. Oh... that would make it a surprise birthday.
And the only place I haven't checked was the garden. That would be where they would "Surprise me."
I walked to the door of the garden and opened it.
Before I could even make out the surroundings, I heard a loud yell of "SURPRISE!"
I had to play along, so I dilated my eyes, making them bigger.
My dad made his way towards me with a big smile, "Hahaha buddy, got you this time!"
"No, I just played along." My dads eyes scrunched up, refusing to believe I played along.
"Sure you did." He patted my back before running to greet families.
Okay, let's see what we have here...
One family was gathering at the corner for food; the Avery Family.
A family based on the making of luxury clothing, watches and handbags, just like our family.
The prices their items went up to were as high as their ego. Your average snobby, arrogant family.
Then there was the Duramoux Family, a Family which focused on the building of hotels, mansions and resorts.
And finally there was the Park Family, they were a small family just like his family was, they were a huge lawyer firm which had managed lots of top celebrities.
And they had one son, much like my family. Seeing nothing much to do, I went to converse with the only son of the Park Family.
As I walked towards the kid, he smiled and reached his hands out. "Hello! I'm Nathan."
He met his hands with the kid who shook hands roughly, "Hello, the names Clayton."
——————————————
Clayton immediately awoke from his sleep, panting and gasping for air.
'I wonder how Nathan's doing.'
Hmm, I have minor back pain and enough food to last me what?... a week.
I won't need that long to find a way out of here, though... and there is also that paralyze thing that happened. I'll need to find out how to control that.
"Ok." Clapping my hands, I lifted myself up, grabbing onto the rocky walls to keep balance.
I walked to the bear and flipped it around to view the cut marks.
I scoffed, amused, "And they say the internet is bad for you." I quickly reached my hand into the skin of the bear and pulled out a huge chunk of meat.
"That's a lot of fat." Using my hands, I carefully ripped out huge chunks of fat off the meat before turning the meat around and ripping the fat out again.
After making sure there wasn't any grain of fat left from the meat, I left the meat directly on the bear and went outside to gather materials to start a fire.
The first thing I did was pick up 2 dry sticks and a small rock he had found close to a tree.
Then I looked around for a while before settling on a dry piece of wood.
I also took handfuls of dry pieces of grass, and tree bark before forming them into a circle.
I then ran back to the cave and settled at sitting right at the entrance of the cave.
I took the small rock that was in his hand before taking the 2 sticks and roughly rubbing the rock on the tip of the stick.
My goal was to make the sticks slanted in a triangle manner. After I had rubbed for a while and the sticks became slanted, I took one stick and piece of wood.
I then put one of my feet on the piece of wood, and I put the slanted side of my stick face down on the wood.
I straightened up my hands before placing them on each side of the stick, and then I began spinning the stick while putting pressure on it.
I twirled the stick for about 3 minutes?... before the piece of wood had a hole in it and a piece of ember fell through the hole onto the wood.
I then moved the ember on to the tinder bundle before blowing on the bundle, making it light on fire. I continued blowing on it, making the fire bigger.
Placing the bundle down I ran to get the meat, a few seconds later I came back with the meat placed in my arm before I grabbed the second stick and punctured the stick right through the meat.
"Finally." I took the skewered meat and placed it over the fire, waiting for it to be well roasted.
As I waited for it to be roasted, I heard a loud chopping sound over me.
I looked up and saw a helicopter with its huge light shining down on me.
'I actually forgot about search and rescue.' Seeing no viable option, I jumped up and down waving my hands, a bit ecstatic at freedom.
