Death Period

Chapter 17

"We should make a plan how we will organize everything." Rafael starts.

"What do you mean by that? I thought we will stay here only for one night and then walk away and look for another better place, where we could stay." Rose opposes.

"But we don't have any place where we could go, that's why I am making the suggestion, that we should organize everything."

"If so, then I would say, that I will look for some stuff to make a campfire." Ned makes the suggestion.

"Why do you want to make a campfire?"

"Because it's too dark. If we want to stay here, we should ignite at least a campfire. So it's better to see an upcoming danger."

"You are right." Rafael recognizes.

"Can you make a campfire?"

"Yes, I can."

"He was a fire-fighter you should know." Laura tells Rafael.

"Oh, good to know. You didn't tell me that during one of our trips."

"You didn't ask me."

"Okay, I would say, that Ned and I look for some campfire stuff. You will stay here and wait for us. If someone tries to get to the island, he has to pass by me and Ned. We will be in your near and take care, that you won't be abducted another time." Rafael says jokingly.

"Don't forget the undeads. They are also there." Rose remembers Rafael.

"I know. I will watch out. Come on."

They get up and leave Laura and Rose.

"That would be the fourth time." Laura starts when Ned and Rafael are out of sight.

"The fourth time?"

"Yes, the fourth time that I have been abducted. I was already abducted three times."

"But Rafael was only kidding."

"Yes, I am aware of it. But it still could happen again."

"You are right and by the way, I think I know what you mean. You mean that time when you was abducted by some soldiers, who held you as prisoner in their house, that would make two and if you was abducted another time, it would be the third time...One moment something is wrong." Rose is confused.

"Of course, because I said that I was abducted three times."

"I don't get that. So far as I know you was only abducted two times. Or is there another time, from that you didn't tell me."

"No, there isn't."

"What do you then mean by saying, you was abducted three times instead of two?"

"Have you forgotten that time, when Lucio abducted me?"

"Oh, yes of course! I've forgotten. Lucio was also there. But now he isn't there anymore. He is dead."

"I don't know exactly. My gut feeling says to me, that he is still alive."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean only because I only stabbed him into his stomach, that's a far cry from saying that he is dead."

"If he is still alive, then he would look for us in the order to take revenge."

"But he won't find us that quick if he would try."

"Yes, you are right. We have Rafael."

"Why only Rafael? Ned is also a good fighter."

"Yes he is, but Rafael is way better than Ned, you must admit that. Come on Laura, it's only the truth. Should I lie and say, that this is not the truth? You know that and I know that."
