Chapter six: The trip to Vivay – part two
The darkness soon captured the day and turned it to night. Stars were glittering and the moon lighted up the whole forest with it’s borrowed light from the sun. Stranger and the Leader had just raised their tent and were about to go to bed. The Steef who sat outside it looked up at the sky and watched on the stars, how they blinked and shined like tiny diamonds.
- Aren’t they beautiful asked the Grubb while she went out from the tent and sat down beside him.
- Yeah they sure are, but you know… I was thinking ‘bout the leadership again and I’m kind of nervous, answered Stranger.
- Nervous? You? Ah you’ll get over it. It’s just unusual for you to see other Steefs whom you’ve never met before… but you have to be thinking about your speech.
- My speech? Oh you mean the talk with Vivay the Steef leader? Well it’s coming.
- What do you mean by “it’s coming?”, asked the Grubb while she looked at him with curiosity.
- You’ll see, my friend you’ll see, answered Stranger with a smirk.
- Oh, c’mon Stranger tell me, I want to know!
- You’re curios huh? Nope I’ll not tell until we reach Vivay’s home, said Stranger as he rose up from his sitting position and went inside the tent.
The Grubb ran after him and fast as a snake she grabbed one of the Steefs legs.
- Eh what the hell are you doing? Are you nuts or what, asked Stranger with a surprised voice.
- I’m not nuts but I’m very stubborn, answered the Grubb, still holding the Steef leg.
Stranger sighed and said:
- Awww… all right I’ll tell you, but only if you let go of my leg.
The Grubb did what he told her to do and sat down on the blanket with him. Stranger, who was tired after the wandering through the swamp, lay down on it. The Grubb Leader crawled up closer to him and said with eagerness:
- Stranger I know you’re tired after the wandering but you said you should tell me…
- Hrrm… the Steef blurred in a low voice.
- Stranger! Oh, c’mon you lazy beast tell me, the Grubb said while she tried to overturn him, but it didn’t work.
She tried one more time but it was useless. Stranger, who was completely ignoring her, didn’t notice that the Grubb was taking a run at him. Just as he turned around to see what his friend was up to, then she smashed him right in his chest.
- Ouch! What’s wrong…with you? I’m trying to get some sleep here but you’re just stopping me, why?
- You said you should tell me ‘bout your speech, shouldn’t you? And by the way, you told me to give you some notices or some tips when it comes to talking in front of leaders.
- You and your damn speech, said Stranger as he turned around again and laid his hands on his stomach.
- Ahhh forget it! You’re impossible; the Leader finally said as she also goes to sleep with anger and disappointment.
See Ya!
