bells , why are there bells you thought rushing out onto the street seeing everyone lined up.




Moving your tiny body through the crowd of people you finally appeared in the front understanding what it meant now that you could hear them clearly.




The scouts had returned but they didn't return the way anyone expected them to. Watching as the scouts all came In or as many of them were left your eyes widened.




You looked and saw only half of the people that left had came back.





They lost half of their men in the war of battle you thought still looking up at all the horses passing you.





You watched the men and their horses sadly walk through only looking for one person you only cared if one person made it through.






Finally finding him leading the pack of leftover men from battle he looked your way staring into your eyes and quickly looking down then turning his head and locking eyes with a smiling boy with a girl nearby him your uncle looking away from him and leading his gaze back straight onto the road ahead of him.







Staring across to see who your uncle had been making eye contact with you seen the young boy almost your age you thought or so he looked and wondered what could have caused him to look so happy when seeing your uncle.





You felt a gaze on you and turned your sight to the girl next to him her chin and neck wrapped up tightly in a scarf her gaze boring into your skin.





You gave her a stare back almost to show you weren't going to back down the both of you feeling like you wouldn't win a staring contest broke eye contact her turning her eyes to the boy next to her and you looking back at the soldiers.






You watched as a women ran through as if looking for some one



" moses " she screamed looking through the survivors



" moses where are you please have come back " she begged tears welling her eyes from what she could see.





You watched as the soldier talked to another one signaling him to grab something the other one walking back with a wrapped item.



You were watching until you locked eyes with your uncle again and he shook his head at you.




Understanding you turned your head away and towards the ground knowing you wouldn't want to see what the lady was about to unwrap.





You watched as the women finally asked a question it making you sad " did his death contribute any at all "





you looked over at the soldiers face seeing it drop " our expedition actually accomplished nothing "







You listened as the people around you made side comments their fury rolling off their bodies " we give all our taxes to pay for their stupid expeditions and they get nothing done"






" we're gonna die their not helping us "




" we can't keep sending soldiers "





" What's the commanders name Erwin or something "





you listened in ears perking up at the sound of your uncles name " he obviously isn't helping us he just keeps sending more men to their deaths we need a new leader"
