Hey, so this is chapter 53.

Losai, Kenya/7:32am…
We see that Halima was still asleep inside a tent; she didn't know why she had trouble sleeping last night for she thought that maybe it was being out in the open asleep just worried her. She then woke up a little bit to see that the sun was coming up a bit and that the sky was a mix of light and dark blue without any clouds in the sky. She yawned and decided to sleep a little bit more but she heard someone getting closer to the tent as she instantly gets up for she looked to her left and didn't see her mother and was shocked and got worried for her.
''Halima?''
She heard for she knew that it was Reni as she unzipped the tent and saw her with some food.
Reni-''Morning Halima, Where's Amija?'' She asked her.
Halima-''Not sure, also good morning to you too. Is that for me and my mom?'' She asked her for she had herbs, soup, bread, and some strawberries with mangoes.
Reni-''Yes, we had breakfast pretty early and since I didn't see you or your mom anywhere I got you both some food in case. Do you know where she went?'' She asked her sitting down next to her.
Halima-''Thank you Reni, also she went to Ojal to check on her leg.'' She said. ''She told me that about an hour ago, I thought she would've got back by now.'' She said to her.
Reni-''Oh okay, do you wanna go see how she's doing?'' She asked her.
Halima-''Sure, but you don't have to if you're busy Reni.'' She said to her.
Reni-''It's alright Halima; I already got done checking on the tribe and that we're leaving in an hour. Also I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me, and the others for a little bit?'' She asked her.
Halima-''Ummm, sure. I haven't seen them in a little while, besides I want to try and know them a bit better.'' She said.
Reni-''Great, but if we can't then we can talk until your mom gets back.'' She said. ''But before we go you need to eat unless you're not hungry right now I mean. Also I ate a little while ago so I'm alright.'' She said to her as they talked a little while Halima was eating. When she finished she brought it with her so that she could give it to her mom as they walked over to Ojal's tent. As they got there some of the tribe members said good morning to them as they got to Ojal's tent they saw Amija as she noticed them.
Amija-''Morning sweetie, morning Reni.'' She said to them as they said morning back to her.
Reni-''Morning Amija, how's your leg? Also, where is Ojal?'' She asked her.
Halima-''Morning mom.'' She said to her for she gave Amija her breakfast as they sat down to talk.
Amija-''I'm sorry for being gone for so long, also Ojal said that she needed to get some things for my leg.'' She said to them. ''She said that with how I'm healing that she'll be able to remove the stitches tomorrow.'' She said to them.
Halima-''I'm glad to hear that, also we're gonna be leaving in an hour just to let you know.'' She said to her.
Amija-''Oh, okay. After this I'll be back at our tent, are you going anywhere?'' She asked her.
Halima-''Yeah, Reni asked if she wanted me to come with her to visit her friends.'' She said to her. ''But if you need me, then I'll visit them later.'' She said to her.
Reni-''Yeah, I'll just tell them that she's busy at the moment.'' She said to them.
Amija-''No it's fine, I'll be okay.'' She said to her.
Halima-''Are you sure mom?'' She asked her.
Amija-''Positive, I want you to try and make some friends. Not that you haven't but I'm just saying since we're here I mean.'' She said.
Reni-''If you want to come with you can Halima.'' She said to her.
Halima-''Okay, thank you mom.'' She said to her as they talked a little bit. A couple minutes later, Ojal came back as they said ''Good morning'' to each other and stayed a little bit longer. When Ojal was done, they walked back to their tent and said that she'd be back in a few minutes as they then left. As they kept going they looked but didn't see them anywhere as they then came across Asha talking with some guards.
Reni-''Morning Asha, have you seen my friends anywhere?'' She asked her.
Asha-''Morning girls, also I think they went to the stream that's a few yards from here. Stay safe guys.'' She said to them.
Reni-''We will, thanks Asha.'' She said to them.
Asha-''Anytime Reni.'' She said as they left. When they got there they saw Taylor, Rora, and Gafoja talking to each other as they went over and hung out for a little bit. After about 40 minutes it was about time for them leave for they said that they'd hang out a bit more when they reach Namunyak.
Back in Kilimanjaro/11:40am…..
We see that so far the tribe was doing well for they had a couple more predators come by than usual for some had asked where there were safe areas, if they knew what was going on and a couple other things. But they had it under control for they always prepared for things like this; we then see the scouts including the Abaya Scouts and a good amount of tribe members were talking to each other waiting to hear out what their next move was gonna be. For they waited for a few of the other scouts to get there for some were asleep or were busy at the moment, but later on they had arrived. At first they had went over what they already knew, which I know you do too in which I'm not gonna just repeat things over and over again. Afterwards they had gone over the plan to finally put an end to this war peacefully.
Gahi-''Okay, so after looking over everything that we now know is that the person that started this is named Adam Ramos, the locations of his that are left are in Harenna forest, Ethiopia and another location that we still don't know about yet. But once we get to Harenna forest, we need the Gem tribe's help including the Abaya Region when they get here.'' He said to them.
Ajala-''What about the lion's? We need to make sure that if we come across any to avoid all fights with them. Also, are you alright Sahadev?'' She asked him.
Sahadev-''Yeah, I'm fine now. So, does anyone have any plans?'' He asked them.
Manil-''We can attack the HQ, we may not know where exactly their camp is but we at least know where to look and to be aware of our surroundings.'' He said.
Ajala-''So what is your plan?'' She asked him.
Manil-''When we get there, we invade their camp and capture everyone there. AD then can contact help and get rid of them.
Abiona-''We can't, they'll be more focused on us than them and we'll all be screwed.'' She said.
Ani-''Plus, we need to do this in a way in which they won't find out about any of us, whether it's our tribe, the Abaya Region or the Gem tribe.'' She said.
Hasit-''Also, they'll have people protect the camp from the outside. So we should take that to precaution.'' He said.
AD-''Also we should cut their power completely, that way they can't get any back up.'' He said.
Ketak-''What if we find Ramos, and have him tell his whole group that their mission was false?'' He asked them.
Sosa-''Some of his people could get suspicious of that and will know that something's going on.'' She said for most of them had different plans and ideas in which most they agreed that they would take action in for AD had an idea but knew that it was way more risky than the one he had before.
AD-''I have an idea, you're all not gonna like it at all though.'' He said.
Rehzi-''We don't know that AD, I mean, I'm sure that you have something since you've found out a lot about our enemy.'' He said.
Faydem-''Yeah, so what's your idea?'' She asked.
AD-''We send in only a couple of us, and we let them capture us.'' He said for no one had a clue what to say to that.
Kacey-''Okay, so this sounds pretty interesting. Yes it's a crazy as f*ck idea, but I want to hear him out.'' She said for others agreed with her.
AD-''When we get there, we let them capture some of us as a distraction while others get into their camp and take out any main threats. We'll have hundreds of your guards and scouts then attack the base and take it over completely. But, you need to knock out every single one of them so that they don't see any of you or remember any of it.'' He said to them for this actually sounds like it could work.
Agrim-''But what if they become hostile?'' He asked for he had a point that things may come to that.
Manil-''Then we may have to kill some or worse most of them, but only if we have too for that still hundreds of people that know about us.'' He said.
AD-''That's why it should just be ten of us that should go, three to four of us will surrender our selves while the others plant fire crystals all over the base. We need the best archers in these tribes, they can shoot them and destroy the entire place, but that's plan C.'' He said.
Sahadev-''That still may lead to a lot of them dying.'' He said.
AD-''That's true, but I have another idea. It's a bit more simple, but a bit harder. We get to the camp, find Adam and force him to end all of this, we can sneak into his base and get to him.'' He said.
Ketak-''We're gonna have to kill some of them, for they will try to kill all of us.'' He said. ''But only when it's the only option.'' He said.
Manil-''Also, what about the group that attacked the Jaglu pack? They'll still be around even after we get rid of the main threat.'' He said.
Udar-''We can have hundreds of us sneak into the camp, and take out all of his men. Once we get to him, he either gives up, or we'll have to kill him.'' He said for that seemed a bit much to everyone. ''I know what Abiona said about trying to take the most peaceful route possible, but we don't know how many people he has.'' He said for they were all thinking about other things for Sakhi had placed her book on the table and talked.
Sakhi-''Why not we just get them away from their camp and fight them off as we go?'' She asked for some didn't expect her to say anything. ''AD can have snake contact some help and that we'll be able to escape. But only a small few of us are going, for If we bring too many, it'll be harder for us to hide. But not so little in which we won't stand a chance.'' She said.
Rehzi-''Okay, so after hearing about all of these plans. I think that we should put them all together and form an idea, with Manil's plan we should focus on the most dangerous of his team.'' He said.
Ajala-''We can use the fire crystals to destroy their weapons, vehicles, and whatever else they have that can wipe us all out.'' She said.
Abiona-''We need to make them weak first, take out most of their people and then we can focus on getting rid of them.'' She said as they kept planning.
Elsewhere….
Sam's pov….
As I kept going, I was thinking about asking for directions but I noticed a bit of smoke in the distance as I kept going…..(Sigh), okay, I need to focus, but don't get your hopes so high Sam. If they say no, then I'll go to an- Where is there another tribe? Okay, I should get going. After a couple minutes I made it to the tribe for I was questioned by some guards and asked what I was doing here, what my name was and if I was from a pack what the name of that pack was. I answered all their questions as they thought about it.
Guard-''Okay, stay here. I'll be back.'' He said to me as he left me with the other guards but stopped and turned back around to me. ''Also, sorry about your pack.'' He said as he kept going.
Sam-''Thank you.'' I said to him as he kept going as the other guards asked me a couple more questions.
Back with the others….
They were planning out everything as they then heard someone knock on the door and saw a guard as Agrim walked over and opened the door.
Agrim-''Yes?'' He asked.
Guard-''Sir, we have a cheetah here who wants to speak to you. His name is Sam, he says he's from the Jaglu pack.'' He told him for the others heard this.
Agrim-''…..(Sigh), Okay, let him in.'' He said for the guard nodded and left. ''Everyone, I'll be back I need to talk with the guards for a minute.'' He said to them as he left.
Back with Sam…..
As I waited there I saw that the guard came back.
Guard-''Okay, you can come in. But, we're watching you.'' He said as I nodded and followed him as I walked by I didn't quite realize how huge this tribe was. I noticed a lot of areas with shops, weapons, food, and that a lot of tribe members noticed me for some were a bit scared or worried while others were kind to me. I was glad that it was mostly kindness instead of them all being disgusted with me, this indeed shocked me but I just kept silent the whole way as I noticed a house for I assumed that it was there leader's home as the guard looked back at me. ''Alright, he talking with others but remember that we're watching you.'' He said but stopped and turned around and looked at me. ''Also, I'm sorry about your pack.'' He said to me.
Sam-''Thank you.'' I said to him as he stopped for I knew that he heard me as I looked through the door I noticed a lot of tribe members talking to each other about something and I noticed a…..human? Okay, he is talking with them so I guess he's with them. I then went into the room and everyone noticed me. Wow, I'm actually sort of nervous.
Sahadev-''Hi, if you're wondering about him will explain later but a guard told Agrim that your name was Sam and that you were from the Jaglu pack right?'' He asked me as I nodded.
Ajala-''We're sorry for what happened to you and your pack.'' She said to me, wow, I didn't expect this at all.
Sam-''Thank you, but anyways I came here to ask if some of you can help me save my pack.'' I said to them for I saw that some of them weren't sure, I mean, I completely understand but…(Sigh). ''I know that you some of you if not most of you don't trust me, I understand that completely. I am a predator and you have every right not to trust me, but I-I can't do this by myself. They already killed ten of us and have probably killed others by now; I only need a couple of your scouts or guards to come with me.'' I said to them.
Rehzi-''Where are they?'' He asked me.
Sam-''They're in Kerio Valley, Kenya.'' I said.
Sahadev-''Can you give us a moment?'' He asked me.
Sam-''Of course.'' I said as I then exited the house.
No one's pov….
Kacey-''I don't know, we have a plan to finally end all of this and now we need to save Sam's pack?'' She asked.
Harsha-''Maybe we can have one group help him while we deal with Ramos.'' He said.
Ani-''That could work, but it depends on how many scout's and or guards that he needs.'' She said.
AD-''It's not that far, but it still could be dangerous. I mean he said that they killed at least 10 of them and possibly more, but I would say that we help him.'' He said.
Rehzi-''I second that; I mean we don't know what he's been through just to get here to ask us. Also he could've been rejected by other tribes out there, but we need to know more about him.'' He said for a couple of them agreed with him, but some weren't so sure about this.
Manil-''He could just be f*cking with us, but I guess we can help him.'' He said.
Sosa-''We're gonna need guards to watch him if he's staying here, cause even though we figured out a plan we still need time to go over every detail.'' She said to them.
Abiona-''Does anyone oppose?'' She asked for no one seemed to disagree with this.
Sahadev-''Okay then, but he's gonna have to sleep somewhere where we can watch him if he's up to anything.'' He said as he walked over to the door and opened for he saw Sam was given some food by one of the tribe members. ''Sam, you can come in now.'' He said to him. ''By the way, if you didn't know my name is Sahadev. I'm the son of Agrim leader of this tribe, but I apologize if you already knew this.'' He said.
Sam-''Yes, I do know about you, also it's fine.'' He said to him. ''Also thank you ma'am.'' He said to her.
Sam's pov…..
As I heard that I got up and thanked the woman for she thought that I was starving and gave me some food as I walked into the house and had placed the basket of food on the floor.
Manil-''We talked it over, and we decided to help you. But, if this is any type of trick to harm a single one of us, I will have no problem killing you myself. Understand?'' He asked me for I nodded.
Harsha-''You didn't have to say killing you know.'' He said.
Sahadev-''Still, we need to ask you more questions depending on how long you're staying here. You will be watch but we're not treating you as a predator, these are just precautions to keep everyone safe from harm.'' He said to me for I understood. ''It's nothing against you or any other species of predators.'' He said to him. ''But still, your welcomed here in which the same rules apply in which I'll go over with you as soon as I can.'' He said.
Sam-''Thank you, I don't how I can rep-'' I was saying but he stopped me.
Sahadev-''It's okay, really. But right now we're dealing with the main threat at hand.'' He said.
Sam-''Is it the humans?'' I asked, well then, that was a pretty dumb question.
Amy-''Yes, AD found out where the person responsible for all this is. He may be involved with your pack getting attacked.'' She said to me.
Faydem-''How we know is that AD found a map of all their locations.'' She said.
Gahi-''We're trying to decided if we should wait until the Abaya Region gets here, or if we should just go now.'' He said.
Sam-''I see, but if you're not able to I understand.'' I said to them.
Abiona-''No, we're going to help but we just need to figure everything out first.'' She said to me.
Sam-''Oh okay.'' I said to them for they all seem very nice, but I'm very curious about the human, where did he come from and why he was here. ''Also, who is AD?'' I asked them as I saw the human get up.
AD-''That's me, but it's nice to meet you Sam.'' He said to me for I thought that he would've been nervous around me or them but I'm not sure, maybe I can ask him later as I heard the door open and saw someone.
Agrim-''Sorry it took so long, but anyways what did I miss?'' He asked for the others explained to him about what I was asking and what they were planning to do. ''Okay then, but like Sahadev said, we'll ask you more questions later on and explain the rules here while you're here.'' He said to him as he went upstairs.
Sahadev-''Okay, so we know the plan and everything. Now, I need to talk to Sam, I'll be back.'' He said as I followed him into another room with a table as he sat down in one chair and I sat down in another chair. ''Okay, so before I get to the questions I need to explain to you the rules. When I get to the questions just tell me if you're not okay with some of the questions, just say so. We eat the same amount of food, in which you don't get any less nor do you get any more than us. But if you catch your own food, it cannot be any of our tribe or any other tribe members from other tribes, understand?'' He asked me as I nodded and told him that I was okay with that but I would only eat what they had as he continued. ''We have no curfew in which you can go to sleep whenever you want, but we will still have guards watching you if you're still up at night. The guards won't be stalking you 24/7, they will only watch you if you're near other tribe members or are going somewhere so that way we don't suspect you trying to harm anyone or steal anything from us at all. You already told us why you're here in which there're a couple things that I don't need to tell you, we treat each other with respect, in which you pretty much get what I mean by that. Now, I need to ask you a couple questions.'' He said to me.
Sam-''Okay, also I'm okay with the rules and with the guards.'' I said to him.
Sahadev-''Thank you, but if anyone tries to harm you, bully, or try to start anything with you just tell me or any guards near and we'll handle it.'' He said to me as I nodded. ''Okay, so when you first got to the camp how long were you there?'' He asked me.
Sam-''For seven days, that last day a friend and I escaped from the camp. Her name is Asimov, she's nine months pregnant.'' I said to him.
Sahadev-''Oh, are you the father?'' He asked me.
Sam-''…..No, he was killed by them. His name was Dajiko, he was a very caring man in which she asked me to help deliver her cub and to be the father.'' I said to him.
Sahadev-''Where is she now?'' He asked.
Sam-''She's safe with the Mala tribe, before we escaped I always talked to her before and after what happened to Dajiko, in which he was in a different cell. But when it was dark out and one of them came down to check on us, I killed him and took the keys and we both got away with our belongings. After that we had set up camp in Mount Suswa, Kenya, I went to get us some food when I got back she found some glow crystals in which they were in a cave behind a waterfall. We then talked about warning the Mala tribe for humans were planning to get there, but during that I heard them coming in which with some fire crystals I blew up the cave so that they couldn't get them.'' I said to him.
Sahadev-''I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, especially Asimov. Also it was smart to hide the glow crystals, we're not sure why they need them but we're making sure that they never see a single one of them. Please, continue.'' He said to me.
Sam-''Okay, while we were running we killed some of them and left but as we got some food more were coming for us, when we hid from one of them was getting closer to us, in which the only option was to run. As we did we managed to kill some of them but I got shot in my right side but I was alright for a little while.'' I said explaining to him. ''When there were two of them left, a Gazelle helped us in which she killed the reaming two and helped me.'' I said to him.
Sahadev-''Oh, but you're okay now right?'' He asked me. ''Also, what was her name?'' He asked me.
Sam-''Yes, but I'll get to that in a moment. Anyways, she helped us and said that her name was Kaja I- Sahadev?'' I said for he looked surprised by this. ''Do you know her?'' I asked him.
Sahadev-''Yes, a few days ago I went out to practice my fighting and I heard her call out for help. I looked around and I found her I would say she was tired for she had small gashes all over her, I checked to see if she was alright but I saw that she had a baby with her.'' He said for this shocked me, a baby? ''The baby was a boy, in which when she woke up she was weary of me at first for she knew about the baby and was protecting him. The baby's name was Brian by the way, in which she asked me who I was and that I told her that I wasn't gonna hurt either of them and promised that I wouldn't harm them. She asked me why I was out there but I asked her how she found Brian in which she told me that while she was in Kindoroko she heard a woman calling for help in which she was unconscious. She heard Brian crying and that she went into the house and found the rest of his family dead, the father and another child. She then went outside a different direction entering what I believe was a camp and found other humans killed.'' He said for he told me everything else that happened after that, (P.s. Because you all know this.) And that after he told me everything I didn't know what to think after that. I guess I can say that I'm glad that she saved that child and had brought him back with AD, speaking of with I should ask Sahadev about AD. ''So yeah, I do know her.'' He said to me. ''Sorry for interrupting.'' He said.
Sam-''Wow, I…..I never knew that she had to go through that, also you didn't Sahadev.'' I said to him.
Sahadev-''Okay but still, I should've just talked about this afterwards but you can continue.'' He said as I did for I told him how we traveled together after Asimov and I told her about how the humans were heading towards Malambo and that after a couple hours Asimov found two scouts a few yards from us and that Kaja had told them that we weren't a threat and how she was pregnant and I was shot. After that I explained what happened when I woke up in which I asked the Mala tribe's leader Kulwa and how she couldn't help me but I understood why and so did Sahadev for he was glad that I was okay. After that I explained my journey from that tribe and here we are. ''Okay, so after hearing your story I have to stay that you've both been through a lot. Also after thinking it over, I think that I can trust you and that we'll be more than happy to help you.'' He said for I was so glad that they were gonna help me, I mean he already agreed but I guess this was just to see if he could trust me.
Sam-''Thank you so much Sahadev, do you have any more questions for me?'' I asked him.
Sahadev-''Well, only a couple more. Other than Asimov, do you have any friends or family in your pack?'' He asked me.
Sam-''Yes, My brother Jake and my parents but I haven't seen them in years. For friends I have a couple, but my best friends are Mia, Sahara, and Mihari.'' I said for I saw that when I said Mihari's name he seemed shocked, w-wait does he know her? ''Do you know Mihari?'' I asked him.
Sahadev-''Oh no, I thought that name sounded familiar.'' He said for I felt that he wasn't being honest with me, maybe if he does know and that he told me this could get out to the tribe. Yeah, I shouldn't ask about this, but I could be wrong. ''Okay, another question, how are your fighting and melee skills?'' He asked me for I explained how I was able to defend myself and that I was best with a bow and arrows than a sword or anything like that. But I explained that I could use a sword or any other weapons, but if I had a choice I would choice my bow. ''Okay, one more question and then we're done. Are you okay with only eating fruit, vegetables, bread, soup and other foods other than meat?'' He asked me.
Sam-''Yes, I don't just eat meat but still I can eat what you have here.'' I said to him.
Sahadev-''Okay, thank you for answering my questions and agreeing with the rules. Again I'm sorry for what happened to you and your pack, I hope that we can help you out through this and help them as much as we can.'' He said to me as I shook his hand.
Sam-''Thank you, also can I ask you about AD?'' I asked him. ''I mean, who is he?'' I asked him. ''Also, not to sound needy or anything but, when do you think you can send some scouts with me?'' I asked him.
Sahadev-''I would say that later on we can plan something out, but I'm not sure about today though.'' He said.
Sam-''It's alright, I'm just glad that you're able to.'' I said to him.
Sahadev-''Also about AD…..Yeah, that's a long story. But I think it'd be best if he told you, I'll be right back.'' He said to me as he left the room. I….I can't believe it, they're gonna help me. But still I need to focus, and help them out just like they're helping me.
No one's pov….
We see that the others had figured out a plan, don't worry you'll know what it is soon. But anyways, we see Sahadev enter the living room.
Sahadev-''Hey AD, can I see you for a second?'' He asked him.
AD-''Sure, I'll be back.'' He said as he followed Sahadev, ya know I'm not sure if I should show this. I mean, you all pretty much know his story; I mean yeah it's with Sam, someone who doesn't know AD, but you all st- You get the point…Yeah. Anyways, we see the others talking a bit until AD comes back.
Rehzi-''So, how do you guys think this is gonna go?'' He asked for no one was sure, but knew that it was gonna end.
Faydem-''We're not sure, but let's just hope it ends as peaceful as possible.'' She said for that's what everyone else wanted too.
30 minutes later…
We see AD come back to the others with Sahadev and Sam.
Amy-''Okay, so I guess that's it for now.'' She said.
Ketak-''But what about the Jaglu Pack?'' He asked.
Sahadev-''We'll I talked about it to him and said that we'll talk about it later. Enjoy the rest of the morning.'' He said to them as they all then left except for Sam.
Sam-''So, where do I stay for the time being?'' He asked him.
Sahadev-''If you want I could get you a tent, or you could say here in the guess bedroom.'' He said.
Sam-''I'll just stay in the guess room.'' He said.
