chapter four: discussion
Assisting Ariel to retract the arrows used on the creatures as the group led by Luther approached them
Luther
Hey who shot the arrows?
random female
Where did they go? They only protected themselves
Murmurs came to life as people started talking about us
Claire
*Stepping in front of Ariel* i did that, why?
Luther
You had good a weapon but didn't share
Claire
So what if I didn't share I protected you didn't I ?
Claire
*turning to face the remaining people* How many here can use a bow and arrow
None raised their hands as they bowed in shame
Claire
There, see even if I gave you no one knows how to use it. Be great full I didn't try to run away
Luther
This is not over little girl you have earned my attention *facing the rest* take a break after that divide yourselves into groups of 5 and go look for food
Luther
*looking at Ariel* the girl stays
Ariel
*holding Claire's clothes tightly* I wanna stay with Claire
Claire
*Patting her head* rest I'll be back
Nodding before joining the few group of children who were led to a building nearby
Ann
*one of the women approached me* hii my name is Ann can I survey with you
Claire
okay but please protect yourself I can't protect anyone okay
Ann
Just because you are excellent in arrow shooting you must protect us
Claire
Ooh please any one can with enough practice and who said bow is the only good weapon...look for something to protect yourselves with instead of looking for someone to do the work for you
Unsatisfied with the answer she spat as she went and joined with the other members
random man
people are like that once they see you are capable of fending for yourself then they try to leech of you
random man
Bytha way thank you for what you did for us back there
Jacob
I used to be a soldier before being dragged here
Claire
Come to think of it what were you doing before being brought here?
Jacob
I was active and in the middle of a war then the next thing I found myself here
continuation of story between the two went on as the search came to an end
As they went back, they formed a line, Luther and his men checking each of the foods and weapon brought in by the search team
Luther
*pointing at each leader of the group* follow me and the girl too
after distribution of food to people we were lead to a tented structure
Luther
now that all of you are here let's start the meeting
random female
Move?! To where we don't know if we will find food out there
random man
That's a good idea
Jacob
I think this is a good idea, if we stay here food will be scarce
