Yeah I'm mean
anyway here's the next bit as I promised
enjoy...
Stranger, the Grubb and Maki decided to start their journey as fast as they could before it was getting too dark and windy, though the autumn was here and it wouldn’t last long till the winter would share its cold. They had to get moving, reach Noka’s village before anything else – if they were out in the wild while the cold was upon them, then they’d probably wouldn’t make it in time. Worst of all – the Grubb couldn’t survive in the chilly weather for too long and that in turn would make Stranger very lonely and depressed if she’d die.
They all three went to Maki’s place to get the valuable things for the trip; A map, a compass and last the most important of all, provisions and warm clothes.
- We already got a map Maki. Why do we need another one, the Grubb asked while she packed down the last provisions for the trip.
- You have? Well it doesn’t hurt to bring a spare one, in case we should loose the first one, he answered.
- Okay do what you want, the Grubb began, all we need now is warm clothes hrrm… Stranger can you go over to Hunter and get some warm clothes?
- Sure, Stranger said and went out.
- You two are really good friends, aren’t you, Maki asked.
- We sure are, the Grubb answered and sighed.
- What’s the matter?
- I miss my tribe though, I haven’t seen them in a while now and the inhabitants are probably worried about me.
- You got a tribe of your own? And you jus’ leave them? I wouldn’t have done that if I was in your clothes.
- No wait just a minute here! I didn’t want to leave my inhabitants, but my friend needed me to guide him to the Grubb Oracle and well… now he needs me more than ever. I can’t immediately leave him without saying anything, now can I? What are friends for?
- You’re right about that though…ah well.
- What do you mean by that?
- Mean by what?
- Nothing. I better check our hut if we’ve left something, the Grubb said and left Maki behind.
Chapter thirteen: The trip to Noka – part one.
- Here I come with the clothes, Stranger shouted as he went in to the hut, which Maki still was in.
- Great, Maki mumbled.
- What’s wrong with you? And where’s the Grubb?
- Err; the Grubb went back to your hut to see if she had forgot anything…me I don’t know…
- What do you mean with “don’t know”?
- Stranger can you keep a secret?
- Sure, what’s on your heart buddy?
- I haven’t been able to tell my father yet, but…I’m afraid to travel to a place where the dangers everywhere and, Maki paused, where I’m not welcomed.
- Maki are you actually telling me that you’re scared of travelling and that you ain’t welcomed to your uncle’s place?
Maki nodded, terrified of getting teased by some Steef that almost was in the same age as he was. But he didn’t. Stranger continued:
- I too have been scared. And I’m not the only one who has. I remember my first trip, he, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep the night before and I got myself a bad stomach ache. By the way, do you get enough time having fun with your dad?
- Why do you ask that, Maki asked as he gazed at Stranger with his big red brown eyes.
- I mean since I got here I haven’t seen you together with him. And it does seem that Vivay’s way too busy taking care of you, am I right.
- That’s not true! My father does have spent a lot of his time with me, especially when I was younger. Now when I’m getting older and can take care of myself, then he doesn’t have to watch over me like a hawk all the time. So don’t call my father a lazy donkey, or I’ll give you a punch in the face, Maki said, annoyed ‘bout what Stranger told him.
- Okay, sorry ‘bout that. But you should however say good bye to your father, ‘cause we’re leaving soon, Stranger said as he went out to see his Grubb.
