Dirty Little Secret

What

I finished my letter to Chris but I'll have to wait till we get to shore to send it

"Hey Eduardo what's our next destination" I asked

He didn't answer

"Hello?" I asked

"Stop pestering me woman" he shouted angrily storming off

I stood a little shocked and then a bit angry

"What's his problem" I said

"Don't mind him opal he just gets this way when we go to.....moldor" Christopher said smiling

"Why" I asked

BAM

I was hit in the back of the head

I turned my head glaring at Eduardo

"Stop being so nosy" he growled

I walked past him pushing him out of my way

"Tell me when we arrive on shore" I yelled walking into me and Eduardo's room and slamming the door

TIME SKIP

"Hey miss opal we've arrived at Moldor" Thomas said peeking his head in the door

"Thank you" I said standing up and walking on deck

TIME SKIP

I hopped off the ship

And started walking along the sidewalk next to Eduardo and Russell

From the corner of my eye I saw a man be dragged to the ground and be kicked several times by two men in guard uniform

"Hey" I yelled starting to run towards them but both my arms were grabbed by Russell and Eduardo

"What are you doing those are the royal guards you can't pick fights with them" Eduardo said

"What are they doing to that man.....there gonna kill him" I shouted seeing the man kicked again

"That's how it is here he's probably a ullr" Eduardo said

"What the hell does that mean" I asked

Eduardo grabbed my wrist and dragged behind a nearby building he looked around to make sure no one was around

He whispered

"In this island there are two races ullr and Moldor the ullr once owned this land until the Moldors kicked them off threatening them and even in some cases killing them but modifications were made so they live here now .......just not fair"

I looked down

How awful

Those poor people

I heard a scream from the man that the guards had drug to the ground

"How do you know so much about this" I asked

Eduardo didn't answer he just turned and walked away

Oops maybe that was insensitive maybe something happened

I don't know

Ugh I feel like a jerk

I started walking but I couldn't find Eduardo so I was just looking around when I noticed someone staring at me a woman running a fruit stand

She had her eyes locked on me and we I turned to look at her she didn't evade her gaze

I walked up to her fruit stand casually

And picked up a pear

"You get good business around here" I asked
BAM
Before she could say anything a guard threw a frail woman to the hard ground

He grabbed the collar if her shirt and pulled her close to himself gritting teeth and acting like he was about to punch her

I angered threw the pear at him

He dropped the woman and stopped his glare on me

He walked up to me from up close I could tell he was quite taller then me

I showed no fear as he leaned down to my height and growled "wrong move missy" before grabbing my wrist and throwing me to the ground I scraped my arm but I ignored it and got up

"I don't make wrong moves" I said
Barreling into him and kicking him in the ribs

I grabbed a stick off the ground and hit him in the back of the head with it

Before grabbing him and dragging him up from the floor pushing him away from me causing him to stumble forward

But he got back up holding a gun out I put my hands up in defense

BAM

Suddenly he started to cough up blood and crashed to the ground as if he was being pushed

"Leave now" I said and sure enough he let out a weak growl before marching off

The woman from the fruit stand looked at me "y y your h h her" she stuttered

"Huh" I looked around and noticed everyone had stopped and were all staring at me

"INGRID HAS RETURNED" they shouted in praise
