Chapter 3

We called Mr Cesar's name many times but he did not respond. Hours past we waited, so our long walk won't be a waste. 

We heard a sound of whispering inside his house and those whisper's are loud in my ears, I was scared for a second "Freye did you hear those whispering inside Mr Cesar's house?" "Whisper's? wha-" but then someone opened the door. It was Mr Cesar and a bunch of huge people inside. The people inside were like they came from down the basement of Mr Cesar's basement. "Girls?" he's face was sweating and he's voice was kinda scared "Girls what are two doing here?" he ask even though the huge people inside were listening and their eyes were watching us like we're prey in a Forest, one of them with a red eye and a scar's on his forehead even made contact with me and he was staring at me hardly and even observing me, every part of my outside look. Mr Cesar notice it "Hey stop staring at Elora like you're gonna eat her, stop it all of you you're all staring the two of them!" Mr Cesar shouted "So girls what brings you two here?" "Um Mr Cesar my father said, um about this errands to you I don't know about that I think he said that you already knew it." Freye said, Mr Cesar zone out a second and suddenly came to his senses "ohhh!" he shouted "Wait here you two, I'll be right back and don't be scared of them they won't do anything to you two so just wait here." he said and hurrying down to his basement "Freye" I whispered to her "what?" "Did your father said about that Mr Cesar already knew it?" I ask her "No, I just forgot what my father said to me." she answered "You're such a wench!" "What about you Elora do you still remember what my father said before the two of us came here?" she ask "No, it's has nothing to do with me so why bother remembering it anyway." she look at me and made a poker face "stop" I said to her. "So your name is Elora?" the red eye guy said "ah yes mister why?" "You have a beautiful green eye and a black hair." he said "it's super rare to find a girl with a beauty like her mister, by the way why are you complementing her like that mister that's so weird of you." Freye said with an angry tone "Freye stop don't start a fight here and we're here to run some errands for your father so stop!" I said to her "But El-" before she could finish her sentence Mr Cesar already came out of the basement "Here you go girls, give this to your father Freye and say it's still processing." Mr Cesar said and wink at us "And Good bye girls" he suddenly close the door "Do they do nasty things there Freye?" "Disgusting of you Elora stop it, where did you ever learn that?" she ask "Freye it's from you, stop acting like you don't know those kind of things." I role my eyes and look at her and we both laugh like there's no tomorrow "you know what let's go and go home already, it's getting dark and plus you have to go on your house to if not your mother will scold you again." she said to me "it's your fault anyway if my mother scolded me after I get home." I said to her "stop it and let's go and I also think those men are doing something nasty too, like you said." "Disgusting of you Freye." "Yah I know" we looked at each other and laugh.

Freye and his father guide me until I got home because it was dark already so they guide me through the woods, Freye and her father are really kind her mother is rarely to be seen around because she's a maid at the duke, all I know is she work at the duke but they never mention what's the name of the duke she work at so I never bothered questioning. Before Freye and her father guide me home her father called us while we were walking a far when we came from Mr Cesar and he panickly said to hide at the basement and I also saw the other town people hide quickly to their house and lock the doors people were panicking and that was the first time I saw people in this town act like that. When I looked at Freye she does not look scared it seems like she's used to it, she's used on this kind of a situation. "Freye aren't you scared, people in town are panicking and what is happening?" I ask her "it's the merchants, people of this town are scared of them remember those rich merchants I told you about its them and they are here. I'm used to it and all I have to do is hide like my father said everytime when it come to a situation like this." She said "Those merchants are looking for something in this town. I don't know what are they looking for but I remember my father said it's a mother and daughter family." what mother and daughter It's so creepy "Elora what if-" "stop, there's no way in hell" I just hope though and am scared "but you don't have to worry Elora it was just rumors going around town" she path my back to relieve me. "I think today they are here about their sword and armor cause my father finish half of it" "you guys finished half of it already?" that's so fast "yes and there's more way to go."

"Mom there are merchants in the town." I said to my mom "so what about it Elora?" "Freye said they were rich merchants." i said to her "And they were looking to a moth-" she did not let me finish my words and just said "let's sleep Elora."
