"Nooooooo..... Get out!" I yell.
" Get up now or I'll make the children come here instead. Would you like that?"
Flashbacks filled my head and I get up instantly. I can't let them do that again....
"Good thing we won't have to scavenge for food any time soon. Wait, your arrows. Ugg. Remind me why you can't reuse, reduce, and recycle?"
I read that on a milk carton once, I like the ring.
"Shut up and eat. We are going out today. Also, you have to take the kids to the back and exercise." She is a leader, well, no. A leader of me, I suppose. I can't remember the last time we had good fruit, the pair seemed to dance in my mouth.
"Everybody! There are people outside!" Somebody called.
I immediately looked at Violet who had a face of pure terror. She stared out the window and pushed me back so I couldn't see the strangers outside. After a bit, she lets me see. She wears a relieved expression. The people aren't armed, but the two men had a little girl in their arms. Mary Ann ran to them and checked the girl. First her forehead, then the tummy. The little girl had a bloody leg, bullet wound most likely. She takes the girl and the men race with her inside. I go where I know they will take the kid, ocean section. There is a working infirmary behind one of the exhibits. Mary Ann was a nurse before, she wrapped gause and antibacterial wipes all over the little girl's leg. The men were being questioned by Mary Ann. The men started to strip to their underwear and they were wiped down with antibacterial wipes. I couldn't keep my eyes off the younger one. They were given a checkup by the other past medical people here and after a while, Mary Ann spoke her final question,
"So which family should I expect to come by, angry?"
The adult man said, "Why?"
" Only polite. Please, tell me who I will have to speak with, sugar."
" The edge of the city. We were exiled because this girly here decided to stop an execution."
