(Peter's Journey)

*September 1st, 1918*,

*2:00pm*

Peter Ermakov was walking across the Misha village as he had seen many people chatting amongst themselves.

"Today sure is hot as hell" Peter Ermakov said as he looked up towards the beaming summer sun and wiped some sweat from his forehead as he had then taken a sip of water from his pouch.

"How does John Claude expect me to walk in this damn heat! And this weird thing has ran out of power or whatever!" Peter Ermakov complained as he looked at the device which was given to him before his departure.

"All it did was take me to this village but maybe If I ask people here then I'll get my answer…" Peter Ermakov said to himself as he walked across the village to see a familiar short girl talking to someone.

"Maybe they'll provide me some answers," Peter Ermakov said as he walked towards the duo.

"Hey!" Peter Ermakov shouted as the girl and other two guys quickly turned towards where the voice was coming from.

"Who's this guy?" the voice said as it belonged to Darya who was formerly a part of the Misha Tribe.

"Beats me and he is wearing some strange armor as well…" Boris said as he placed his fingers on his chin as he observed the armor.

"I don't know but It seems he's suspicious…" Darya replied back in a whispered voice as she gave Peter Ermakov a rather dirty look.

"What business do you want with us and if it's money then it's best to forget about it!" Darya said to Peter Ermakov as she crossed her arms together and raised her eyebrow.

"I'm only asking to see If you or him had seen a group of people in the past weeks or so" Peter Ermakov asked as he crossed his arms together as well.

"Group of people...Why is that?..." Darya asked as she grew more suspicious.

"And why do you want to know as well.." Boris added in as he had feelings that something was wrong.

"Just answer the damn question! Did you or him SEE anyone in a GROUP!" Peter Ermakov said in a more louder and aggressive tone as Peter felt himself getting more annoyed.

"We haven't seen any groups and please calm down as well and no need to get all aggressive okay?" Darya answered back while Peter Ermakov smiled.

"Oooooh okay sure! But It was nice doing business with you both and I'm sure that It will help me during my journey" Peter Ermakov sarcastically said in a smart tone as he turned around however before he could walk he heard Darya speak.

"Can I ask you this one question and be honest with me?" Darya asked.

"Oh? And what will that be eh?" Peter Ermakov responded back as he turned around and looked down at Darya with a smile.

"Who is this group in which you're looking for? And I just have a bad feeling about all of this" Darya replied.

"She's right and It's rather odd as well and your outfit doesn't help as well If I'm being honest" Boris added on as he walked and stood with Darya while Peter Ermakov gave a dirty glare at both of them.

"It's no one's business and I'm simply following orders that's all" Peter Ermakov spoke as he smiled at the last part.

"Could he be after Alexei and the others?! No! That can't be but If so I'll never tell him anything and even If my life was on the line" Darya thought to herself as she looked at the man laughing.

"What's so funny?" Darya asked in a stern voice as Peter Ermakov stopped laughing and eventually turned back into his serious self.

"It's just I know that you are LYING to me! But no worries I'll eventually find what I'm looking for and If you or him try to stop me then I will kill you both...I killed once and I won't be afraid to do it again.." Peter Ermakov said as his tone of voice was in a growl in the last sentence while Darya and Boris stood there completely shocked at what he said.

"And what do you mean by that?..." Darya asked as she was still in shock.

"None of your concern but If you excuse me I must continue my journey" Peter Ermakov said.

He walked past Darya and Boris before going out of sight as Darya and Boris had signed a breath of relief and sat down on the ground.

"Who was that guy! And I never even asked him his name but he sure was creepy!" Darya said.

"You're right and I wonder if he is looking for Alexei and the others?" Boris said with a look of concern on his face.

"Well If that's the case then good luck to him because he doesn't even know where they are and also Russia is huge soooo" Darya said as she began to snicker at the very thought.

"You're right! And the summer heat will just kill him anyways!" Boris added on as the pair shared a small laugh together.

"But I do wish Alexei and the others the best of luck…" Darya said as she looked up towards the sky.
