The runners apprentice

Chapter 22

Annabeth had spent the past two days explaining her plan to the villagers and her intentions. It was surprising how well everyone came together ready to work as a team. Though she still hadn't heard anything from Jasmine or Bryson which put her on edge considering if they didn't get that supplies all this was for nothing. That's why she was so relieved when she was them coming in the town entrance the next day with a load of supplies. "You got everything" asked Annabeth running over to meat them. "Every last one" said Bryson nodding his greeting. "How are things going here" asked Jasmine gesturing her head towards the village.
She sensed her apprentice had something she wanted to share and really wanted to get past the questions that were going to fly out of her mouth. "Really great actually it took some work but only a couple of people refused" said Annabeth a little proud of herself. "So how many people do we have in all" asked Bryson. He knew Annabeth was more than capable of pulling this off but their was a army of 50 assassins heading their way blades drawn. "Including us 73" said Annabeth a little less proud. When she said it out loud she realized how bad the odds were 50 deadly assassins against 73 untrained villagers.
"Well kid I hope what ever idea you have its a good one" said Jasmine eyeing her apprentice. She knew Annabeth understood the stakes but she also knew that she would die before she abandoned this village. I guess that's part of the reason I chose her thought Jasmine. "I actually think you should see this for yourself" said Annabeth heading off toward the main building. When they got their Annabeth showed them what exactly she wanted done and how she planned to do it as Jasmine nodded approvingly. It could work but it would take a lot of work and time thought Annabeth. "Alright let's get to work" said Jasmine with a hint of a smile.
