When we finally got back to the village, it was everything I expected. Guards who patrolled the gate started patting us down like Prisoners in Alcatraz. Draid, being not used to this distrust, seemed unfiltered in every way possible.
''I'd kill you if you touched me there.''
''Don't touch that.''
''Watch it.''
All that shit. Anyways, once Draid was verified, we were allowed in. People surrounded us like walls as we walked to the Meeting Cabin. Menacing eyes of the Civillians kept on Me and Draid. They stood, angered and saddened by Draid's appearance. I stopped moving, in the biggest part of the wall of people. ''Draid is going to help us. There is a bigger threat.'' Some people agreed by nodding, others looked at me like they were about to slaughter me. That's when I noticed Lisa, Droop, and Alex looked through the crowd. I knew what Droop was about to do...
Droop ran out the crowd, pushing Draid down. He had a cane, which helped him stay balance. ''DEAVEN!'' I called out, holding him off of Draid. Droop yanked back with opposing force, trying to get back at Draid. ''NO! HE RUINED ME! HE RUINED ME!'' Droop was practically drugged with rage. Draid got up, looking Droop dead in the eyes. Droop was still yelling, ''YOU MOTHERFUCKER! LOOK AT ME, LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME!!!'' He yelled. ''I'm sorry about my men... It was a mistake... We were trying to keep you away from Domonious...'' Draid said. ''Wait...'' Droop calmed down. ''What?'' He began to look even more confused. ''Yea, I was about to explain that. Until your dumbass tackled him.'' I mocked. I began to let go, seeing Droop as no threat anymore. ''We're going to the Meeting Cabin, I'll talk to you in deeper detail later. About.. .Domonious...'' I said, escorting Draid out of the crowd. As we walked, Draid suddenly spoke. ''What did they do to him..?'' Draid asked. ''They shot him multiple times. He can hardly sleep anymore without a gun by his side.'' I answered. ''He doesn't have PTSD, couldn't diagnose him with it. But he's not in a stable position in life at the moment.'' I added.
I stopped at the doors to the Meeting Cabin. ''Whatever you do, Don't speak till I give you an opening. Do you understand?'' I requested. Draid looked over at me, ''Yes.'' He nodded. I opened the doors, walking up to Barbells Office. Barbell sat back in his seat, tinkering with some weird stone. ''Barbell. I have some news to bring you.''
