Thanx Odd Chick! and as I promissed the next part will be more of action and a bit of dramatic... here it is, enjoy!
Chapter three: Backstory- part two
Meanwhile at the other prison where the Grubb-Leader was holding up...
A couple of guards stood outside the prison and talked to each other. One said:
- I wonder what our Alpha-leader will do to that smelly little Steef which the Master and his apprentices captured beside the river...
The other one licked his lips and said:
- You know if the Alpha-leader should hold a cermony or a party just for fun, then our stinky friend would be the host of the night...Mmmmm I really love the smell of a roasted Steef...
- Yeah. And they're pretty tasty to, said the first one and laughed with an evil grin on his lips.
Liana who was sneaking behind the prison heard what the guards were talking about and thought " Shit...I've to hurry up rescue the Grubb-Leader and warn Stranger before they realize that he's gone...now where is the f***ing back door?" The Legendary girl found the back door, unlocked it with a key of hers and went in. She saw the Leader sitting tied up with some thick ropes in the corner of the room. The Leader cried a little and said to herself:
- Oh...it's all my fault...I should have told him about not to make fires at the mornings in the forest...Oh Stranger where are you when I need you?
- I know it's hard but...nobody's perfect, Liana started to explain.
The Grubb who'd first looked down on the floor looked up and saw her. With a quite sad but also a bit depressed face the Leader asked:
- Who are you and...what do you want? If you're here to kill me then just do it! I can't stand being held like this!
- I'm not here to kill you... Liana started to say, I'm here to rescue you and your pal...
- Stranger? Is he here? where is he? I want to talk to him quickly, please...
- Eh, calm down your crazy lizzard! And be quiet for Odd's sake! If the guards who are guarding this place hear you, then we both are toast...so listen up!
The Grubb calmed down and started to listend what she had to say.
- I've helped your friend out from his prison and guided him to the Oracle, so he's having his little chat with her right now...Oh and by the way I thought it would be nice to rescue you to...just for fun.
- Why are you doing this for us, asked the Grubb with curiousity.
- It's along story, but to make long story short... the Alpha-leader doesn't respect me as I am and that's kind of...a terrible thing. Not long time ago the Alpha-leader proposed to my sister but she in the other hand didn't like him that much so she said no to his proposal. The wierd thing is that I had a little chat with my sister the night before she said no to him and it was about the proposal...one of the alpha-leader's bodyguards was outside her hut and spying at us. He heard what we were talking about and directly after we'd got finnished, he retuned to the Alpha-leader and told him everything he'd heard. Next day the Alpha-leader orderd me to clean the prisons around the village and if I didn't do it he would...do something terrible to my sister...and after that he'd never given me the respect I wanted...it feels like that I don't belong here, nobody cares about me so I don't care if any of our prisoners escapes...
- I understand, said the Leader with a gentle voice.
Liana smiled and said:
- I don't have much time left talking to you now, so I better free you from these ropes and lead you to the emergency-rope that'll lead you to a safer distance under the village. Stay there while I help Stranger out from the Oracle's place.
- Okay...and Thanks for doing this for me and my friend, we really preciate what you're doing, said the Grubb with gratefullness.
The Legendary girl nodded and picked out a knife from one of her tiny bags and began to sickle the ropes. When she got finnished she said to the Grubb:
- Let's go, before it's too late! C'mon jump up on my back and I'll lead you to the exit.
The Grubb-leader jumped up on her back and then they ran of to the emergency-rope.
While back at the Oracle's hut...
- What hapend next, asked Stranger with eagerness.
- Well... where was I...Oh yeah now I remember...
Alca saw his three brothers and said to them:
- Noka, Vivay and Carak what a suprise! I didn't expect you to come, here sit down!
The brothers sat down and began to talk to him. Noka said:
- Alca... there's something we want to tell you and it's quite important to all of us...
- Tell me, please I want to know what's on your minds...Is there a problem, asked Alca.
- Hehe, not exactly a problem but there's stil something...
- Oh c'mon tell me I want to help you guys, don't be so shy.
- Easy brother... we're giong to tell you, Vivay joined in, Noka go on and tell him!
Noka cleared his throat and began to tell to the young Leader.
- You see... Father choosed you as the next leader and left us behind...and now we want, as your brothers just make an simple request...
- Go on, said Alca with a calm voice.
- ...I Noka, Carak and Vivay wants to have a... what shall I call it hmmm...a voting contest about who's going to be the leader.
When Alca heard them mentioned the voting contest he stood up and said to his friends to leave them. Then Alca said with disappiontment and anger:
- You know the law and you know me... And I decide that there will not be a voting contest until the day I'm gone. Do I have make myself clear?
Noka became quiet and so did also Vivay, but Carak raised his voice to Alca and said:
- Our Father left the leadership to you, but he didn't gave us a chance to become the Leader he'd wished did he?...So tell me Alca; Why can't we just try to have this little contest? It'll give us a chance to make us change our minds and other things.
soon i'll have my real vaccation at my relatives place and then it'll take longer time before i send some more in... i'll send more in, but it'll take it's time. Then I send larger parts in I think it's the best.
See ya!
