Ebony and Star stared at each other for a brief moment. They knew
each other from before the virus when they attended the same school, but
they became more in contact with each other after the deaths of the
grownups. This 'contact' Star would never forget.
Pride knew of Star as well. This contact that Pride had had with her was quite a romantic one. Pride looked up at the girl at the balcony. She hadn't changed, yes her hair and clothes had changed, but inside he knew she was the same, deep down inside. As he stared up at her, Salene followed his gaze up and then looked back at him. For some odd reason she felt a pang of jealousy and slid her hand into Pride's. Pride snapped out of his trance and smiled at Salene.
After a few moments of silence Star finally spoke, "What do you want?"
"We want your help," Lex said eyeing her over a few times.
"What help and what for?" she asked them suspiciously.
"Do you know anything about Zoot?" Ebony asked.
"What if I do? We're a neutral tribe here. We are neither allies nor enemies of any tribe. So if that's all you came here for you might as well leave."
"Won't you listen to us first?" Lex asked, almost semi pleading.
"Let me talk to her," Jack said. He went up to Star and had a quiet conversation for about eight minutes. He must have been getting through to her because as she sighed and nodded, Jack looked at the group and nodded at them.
"Well?" Ebony watched as Star turned to face them again.
"Because you are friends of Jack, I will help you. Just by looking at some of you though I know that's your intentions are good and then some of you just want glory." When she said this she looked directly at Ebony, which made Ebony look away.
The group sighed with relief. "Maybe this won't be so bad after all," Lex commented.
