Fungi- A Tale Of Two Warriors

Chapter eight

(Violet)
I walk down to the infirmary confused. "Who the hell?" I go silent as I meet the gaze of the confused boy. "Really him? Why waste something big on him? Just stab him a few 87 times like I did with that one kid!" I say annoyed.
He lets out a slight whine of fear in the background. "But he made fun of me and isn't letting me seduce him! Also it was not 87 times, you liar!" She whines.
"So what? You just met him, you haven't even gotten to know him, who knows what he could be capable of!" I explain.
Mary Ann walks to me, she had been there the entire time.
"How can you not trust him if you don't give him a chance deary?" She claims in her soft voice.
I sigh. "I don't want any part of this if they're going to be in it." I look down as I get flashbacks of a few old friends. Why am I thinking about them now?
"Give the kids a chance, you'll learn to love them just like you love the youngsters." She sighs then looks over at Alex.
"That goes for you too sweetie, no hurting them." She continues. Alex huffs and nods ,disappointed. Mary Ann hugs us both before retreating to her spot .
"Now go get some sleep you two".
"Be nice to Alex, do not get on her bad side or you'll be dealing with me." I say as I meet the boy's gaze. He nods hesitantly. I walk out of the room and retreat back to the roof. I pace around. I hear some mumbling nearby, crouching at the edge I get my bow ready. I spotted a shadow near the window, talking into their walkie talkie. I lower my bow and quickly rush inside, to Marry Ann. I whisper so the strangers around can't hear. "There's someone outside, talking into their walkie and looking in the window."

She looks at me concerned then she goes to the door. She opens it and the person outside jumps. "Hello? Come out." Mary Ann speaks softly. A woman hunched over, walks out of the shadows. "Hello... I'm sorry.. I was looking for food for my family... Saw this place, then saw you guys... we aren't doing so good we're just so hungry.." A lady speaks in a weak voice. I narrowed my eyes, then why was she speaking in a walkie talkie?
"Oh my dear. Let me go get you some food, please come in." Mary Ann says, inviting her in before she wanders off into the storage room. The strange woman looks around then at me curiously. "How old are you?" She asks kindly. I stay silent as I look away, then at Mary Ann when she returns with a Basket full of rations. "Here sugar, I wish you and your family well, remember you are always welcome here." She says sweetly.
The woman nods ,"Thank you so much!" She says gratefully as she leaves.
Great. Now we'll have less for us ... lovely. I return to the roof to make sure she's left. I continue to watch her until she's out of sight. After a while I eventually head into my tent for the night.
When morning comes, I get up and help Mary ann with breakfast. After passing out some of the rations to everyone in our group, she tells me to give some rations to the strangers as well. I give her a look...she shoots me back a look.
Fucking Gods fine.
I head into the infirmary and give them their rations. The girl is awake and slightly sitting up. I gently give over her rations. "Thanks." She says with a weak smile. I nod silently.
"Hey," the younger boy says. I look over at him. He offers me an apple, "Can you give this to Alex?"
"Why?" I narrow my eyes at him. "As an apology for making fun of her," He continues. Ugh, don't touch him Violet, you can't touch him!
"You can take it to her yourself." I say.
He sighs and stands "Alright.."
I roll my eyes as he follows me out of the infirmary, I lead him to her room. "If you do anything to harm her I will murder you." I say before I knock.
He silently gulps then nods. I run off so she doesn't see me, there is a bang and then Alex opens the door.
