FOES AND WOES

CHAPTER III: CLIFFSIDE WALK

DAY 4

I woke up late today. I felt better and when I looked outside, I saw that the snow had melted. When I went down after bathing, everyone had already finished breakfast. It felt awkward being the only one at the table but Lilly joined me. She said that she didn't wake me up because she thought that I might need more rest.

She also said that we can film on the cliffs today. I was happy with this. Jake joined in later. We got ready super fast and by ten, we were out of the house.
The landscape was looking way more beautiful than always. The melted snow was sparkling on the ground and the sun rays were not hot but rather warm. I realized that how important Jake and Lilly think is my documentary. Apex and Bruno were left at home as they might get hurt by the cliffs and the crabs. As we went towards the cliffs, Herbert came by.

"Yo, where are you guys going?"

"By the cliff..." Jake said.

"Go on." He said and we continued to walk.

Now that I was closer to the cliffs, I could see that they were tall and sharp and that there were a lot of crabs there.

"I don't like crabs." Said Lilly.

"Nor do I." I replied.

"What type of cats are you guys?" Jake said. He winked at me. His clear intention was to irritate Lilly. Jake picked up a crab and threw at Lilly. It stuck in her hair.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She shouted. The crab hung to her hair and it looked pretty chaotic. I took out my camera and took a picture of her. The crab in her hair and she trying to pick it up while looking down looked great. Her hair shone in the sunlight and made the picture a masterpiece for any song album. I slowly walked towards her and picked the crab and threw it away.
Lilly looked at me hiding her eyes from the sun with her hand.

Then she spoke, "You said you are scared of crabs."

"No, I said I don't like crabs."

Jake all this while laughed while sitting on a rock. I told Lilly to calm down and I told her to shoot me this time.
I climbed on one of the cliffs and started speaking my scripts. Then we got some shots of the ground and the cliff and I noted some more ideas in my book. I realized how I had a knife and a rope with a hook for no reason.
By the time all the filming was done, it was afternoon. We went back to the house. "I think we should go there for a walk again with the dogs." Jake suggested probably to make Lilly scared once more.

"Why not!" I said.

"You guys can go." Lilly looked at me helplessly, "I can take care of Apex and Bruno."

"No," Jake said, "we shall take the dogs."
I thought they would get into another fight but that didn't happen. We had lunch. It was good, I ate some carrots soup and fried potatoes.

"Does Herbert study with you?" I asked.

"No, he is two years older than us." Jake replied.

"Working at fourteen in a bar is crazy." I said.

"He rarely does. His father, Bruweire, is the main man." Lilly replied.

"Are your father and him friends?"

"No."

"What is Herbert's full name?"

"Herbert Morven..."

I thought that how small this town is and even then two families can't live in peace
After we had eaten, we played some games in the garden such as guess the dog by touch. It was fun but Lilly won. Then we played throw the dart. Jake won this. And lastly, we played who is more popular. This game is crazy - There is voting where a person votes if he or she likes the person or not. I voted that I liked Jake but Lilly didn't so he got a single point. Similarly, I voted that I like Lilly but Jake didn't. So Lilly got a single point. Both of them voted that they like me so I got two points. I won this game.
As it started to be evening, we decided it is our time to go to the cliff. Lilly resorted to staying at home and helping her mother while Jake and me got ready. I also told Apex to not run after crabs as they can bite him. I think he understood what I told him. Bruno had no problems with crabs as he was a wild local dog of this place. Crabs were his family members (it's a joke).
