Chapter Five: Escape
random man
I'll tell the rest that we'll be moving tomorrow
random female
Okay but how will the children and women move along
Luther
Okay meeting has ended Claire do you mind *indicating for me to be left behind*
Jacob
*whispering* don't let him get to you,
Claire
I know I know take care of Ariel for me
Nodding and squeezing my hand for reassurance he joined the rest making Luther and I to be left alone inside
Luther
What was your name again little girl?
Claire
Claire....am Claire Wren...
Luther
*walking around the table and seating at his chair* Claire join us you won't regret
Claire
Join? Why would I join you?
Luther
Come on Claire you are not as smart as you seem to be... I have the strongest people under me
Luther
I can easily make you my right-hand man and ease the load of your back
Claire
Why because I can shoot arrows?
Luther
No no no far from that Claire, you seem to know most of our current situation
Luther
And *tapping his pointing finger on the table* you seem capable *looking at her lustfully* or stay by my side to satisfy me
Claire
what if I refuse?*lifting one of my brows in question
Luther
Well...*smirking in disgust* Your little friend will be in trouble
Claire
*walking toward the entrance *I'll think about it
fingers crossed and hoping to find Ariel together with Jacob, she went to the children's section
Ariel
Claire look Jacob taught me how to make knots *displaying a couple of ropes folded into various loops
Jacob
She's a fast learner, huh!
Claire
Yup *patting Ariel's head which she seems to be enjoying* that what makes her the best
Jacob
What did he say *in a more serious tone*
Claire
The usual... Join me.....make me his right hand and the rest
Claire
Why the hell would I?, he is nothing but a bad guy I can feel it
Jacob
It's a good thing you didn't agree otherwise you would in his grasps
as the Sun set they eat their rations and went to sleep but Claire had other things in mind
Claire
*Softly nudging Ariel to wake up* hey Ariel we have to go
Ariel
Go?...go where *rubbing her eyes*
Ariel
away from here come one Jacob is waiting let's go
Tip toeing over the fast sleeping people the headed to the exit of the make shift place coming to a halt near the exit where the leader was talking to a group of people
Luther
Let's take the little girl hostage to make Claire stay by us
random man
Why does she know something we don't?
Luther
I think she's hiding something I mean where did she get the bow and arrows to begin with, and also she would be valuable to us
Luther
Let's take her at the crack of dawn
Ariel
Huh*in shock* Claire they want to take me away
Claire
They won't, I'll protect you let's get away from here first
Jacob
come I've found a way out
Following Jacob they barely managed to escape and ran far away from the place
