~it is a far, far better thing that I do, than I ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to that I have ever known~
It has been about 30 minutes I'm guessing and we are still going North, we haven't ran into anything weird, dangerous or suspicious yet (which I may state: is good).
I keep looking back at James to make sure he is safe, I don't know what I'd do without my best friend. I almost trip when I look back to check again.
"Emma," Edmund says and we all stop in our tracks. Ahead of us is a plane. Vines growing from inside and out, maybe been there for over a good 100 years. I slowly walk to it and look into the plane, all the seats are gone and is set up like a little house type thing. Large green boxes that are up to my waist in the corners with tins of food, in one corner on a crate is a computer that has a tracker on it's screen. In another is a smaller box that's open and a bow is in it along with arrows and a couple swords. And the most noticeable thing was the mask on a chair, it is exactly the same as the one that was on the spear, yellow and black one. The others finally walk in.
"The mask," I point to it. "Exactly same one as the one on the beach." I walk over to the smaller box with the bow in it.
"W-what are you doing?" Gab asks.
"Getting this bow, what does it look like?" I snap picking it up. The arrows are yellow and black, while the bow itself is black and yellow too. I put my self made bow down and hold the new one.
"I like it," I say. "The colours are cool."
"Emma!" Lucie says. "You can't just take someone else's stu-" but she was cut off by a strong voice.
"What are you doing?" A mans voice shouts as he comes into view, he has a yellow and black hoodie, the mask and the exact same arrows and bow.
"Shit," I put the bow down and step back. "I'm so sorry! Please don't hurt us!"
"Now, now, now, why would I do that?" He set his bow down as well as his mask.
"'Cause we are in your house and I was holding your bow."
"I wouldn't do anything," the man walks past me to the computer checking it. "why are youse here?"
"Umm," I start. "My parents may be here. And I've heard about this place and how dangerous it is-"
"Then why come?"
"I couldn't leave my parents." I say as he grabs a banana and peels it.
"You're lucky you all came here and not to Deathstrokes camp." The man says. "Right, I'm Henry Willson," he smiles.
"Emma Williams," I put on a plastic smile. "Edmund, my twin." I point to him. "Lucie, James and Gabriel."
"I've met a couple new peasants around, name of parents?" Henry asks his bright orange hair glowing.
"Peasants'?" James squints his eyes.
"Don't mind him, Renee and Leon."
"Ahh yes! Renee!" Henry stands up and goes to the bin. "I saw her a while ago, although she was alone, she was a fighter. She thought I would hurt her and tried hurting me but no one has ever defeated me."
"So you hurt her?" Edmund snaps.
"Oh god no!" Henry says laughing. "I've never hurt an innocent woman, I asked if she wanted to come back here for safety but she objected."
"Of course she would, it's mum," I say. "Do you know where she went?"
"No, but I could help if you are willing." Henry grabs the bow I had and places it into my hands and smirks.
"That is yours," he says and walks to another box, in it was a thousand more hoodies and masks. He takes a couple giving me one of each and the others one of each.
"Why do we need these?" Lucie asks.
"If we run into anyone, they won't attack, Deathstroke may be the most deadliest on the island but he isn't the only one, everyone knows that these two colours symbolises me and my strength." He than gives the others swords but Edmund shakes his head staring at it.
"I-I-I can't u-use this! I don't know how."
"I could train you if you would like. But that'd take about a year for you to master." Henry frowns, "I have an idea where she could be. Hoodies and masks on."
So we obey.
