"It's my father, he won't hurt you just answer the door and act normal, he might be here for a good reason."
Alice walked over to the door slowly and paused at the door for a moment to look at Johnathan. He was shaking, he look very tense and afraid.
Alice opened the door slowly, A loud squeak uttered from the door as it opened.
"Hi Mr. Marshall, why are you here?
"I'm here to talk to you about your punishment. May I come in?"
"UMMM NO, I am... cleaning right now so my cabin is a mess. Can you just tell me my punishment right here."
"Well, okay your punishment is to do voluntary work with the memwards starting Monday at the church (today is Wednesday, so she has 4 days till then). You will be dismissed from your schooling until then to prepare, you will do voluntary work there for at least 30 days."
"Well okay."
Alice said okay just to get rid of him fast, she really wasn't okay with it and if Johnathan was not there she would have fought against the punishment.
She closed the door and walked over to Johnathan.
"You said that the memwards want me dead right. Then why my punishment voluntar work this don't make any sense."
"What if this is their plan....Maybe they are going to kill you at the church." Johnathan said.
Johnathan started pacing around the room.
"He's doing it again, I can't believe that after what happen to my mom that he would follow through with this again."
"Follow through with what... Johnathan talk to me. What are you going on about?"
"HE BELIEVED THEM! That's what killed my mom, they told him she stole from the store to get me food. Don't judge but we was poor then, it was before my dad was given the job he has now. She was taken to the church for punishment and was suppose to return home after a month. She never came back."
"He... Was the reason for her death... My father let it happen, he so strongly believed that the memwards knew best for her, and that they do nothing wrong, he thought they would just make her mistake forgivable, and forgive her, I guess they chose not to.
Johnathan started to cry as he came to realize that his father did know what happened to his mom,but he would do anything for the memwards and the watinds, even sacrifice his own wife.
"I thought he just didn't know any better then.. But now he knows better and have a chance to make it right, for mom, but still chose to let them kill someone else, the exact same way mom died."
"Calm down Johnathan, don't cry. Just straighten up and put on your game face I have four days until then to make a plan. If I can make it home I can tell my parents about this they are on the council, they are board members. I bet my parents would tell the memwards to ease up... They can change their mind if it's true that they want me dead."
"What YOU have four days to make a plan, WE have four days to make a plan, together, if my dad goes against you as he did with my mother, then I too will join you to prove your no rebel to the memwards.
