Encouraging Her

"Stay right here." The little girl looked at the maid as she commanded her.

The second maid who had come forward to hand over the arrow from her tray halted in her steps and nodded as she remained in the same position.

'Moving to and fro every time I take a shot is a waste of time.' Yvonne surmised and with this thought in her mind, she gave out the order to the maid.

The maid bowed and took a step away from the child who held the arrow to the bow.

There was the familiar silence in the air as the people present waited for her to shoot her first arrow for the second target.

The distance was 30m and she needed to score well if she wanted to pass this trial.

'6 points to go.' Taylor recollected the score that she had after the first target.

This time, Yvonne did not wait for long as she released the arrow soon after taking her position in front of the second target.
