Boundries

"We have visitors...they don't look to great, they should get here in a few minutes... they just past boundries..." said a stong man, he was a gaurd for the "Great Tribe".

"They were traveling at this time of morning, it isn't even day break yet...." Said Skylers father. He looked tired as he walked out of the hut. He was standing by the fire, heat rose to his face as small sweat dropplets formed at his hair line, "We recieved word from one camp already, now don't tell me the attackers have already caught up to another Tribe...."

" Dear lord, we should worn the others to stay inside...Skyler, get in the home, now!" yelled her mother, who was now frantic. She was normally calm during situations like this but after all the words of rebels and cannibles, she was strewn about in chaos.Her mind veered all the time from one worry to another. Skyler pittied her mother for her sudden lack of calm. Gossip was spreading through the tribe that she was becoming unreliable and too old for a leaders position.

" No! I am not going to be thrown into a little hut and locked up like a prisoner...I am nearly an-"Her words stopped as a young man stumbled out of the trees followed by a young woman. They looked like they had been traveling for days without rest. The mans black hair was matted from dirt and his old clothing had been ripped and worn from such a journey. Skyler saw relief in his dark brown eyes as he looked around at the gathered crowd.

" We need help..." his eyes were teary and tired as he stared at the unmoving crowd, "Look, we just witnessed an attack by...by God knows what and we just need some food and rest before returning home...Please will you help us..." The girl at his side coughed and fell to the ground. Tears fell down her cheeks. He kneeled down beside her. Nobody moved.

Skyler glanced around at her father and mother who were now whispering to a guard adn an elder. They exchanged nervous glances with eachother. She couldn't take it anymore. Skyler walked slowly to the pair kneeling by eachother weakly. The young man stood up staring at her.

" I'm sorry no one else was willing to help...please, come with me.." she turned and walked to the Main house...." This is the main house..we will get you a place to stay here. Dinner is at nightfall...um.." She stopped and turned to face them, "I'm not a doctor, but I will try to help you with your..wounds..I guess..." she looked at the floor as the other two just stared at her. She was still the only person willing to help them, "Look, I'm sorry the rest of the camp isn't willing to help you and I'm terribly sorry if you are mistreated but I can only do so much," the two guest stared at her...

" Thank you...I don't know what we can do...I don't have anything right now..." he sat down on the bed. The young woman sat down beside him.

" Yes...we epreciate this greatly, you are being nicer than the other tribe....but I guess we don't have to worry about that tribe..." Her eyes were wet with tears.

"What happened..." Skyler asked curiously. She sat beside him on the bed.

" It...was horrible. They were tall and thin and fast...very fast and agile," said the dark haired boy.

Skyler reached up and removed some leaves from his hair..." Who? The men attacking?"

" Men, these were beast..monsters...They were like bird-lizards. They had no mercy for those with family or children, or for the children themselves. They were bloodthirsty and attacked eachother for the meat, "

Skyler shook her head, she couldn't believe it," I've never heard of that...nothing like that...It's not possible.."an airy disbelief was in her voice.

" We just witnessed it...it happened and we know it, we saw it..." The young woman had tears once again, she was almost hyperventalating. By now, more people had heard and were moving in.

" Who are you and where did you come from?" Skyler heard her Father's voice. It was strong and stern. He didn't care much for fables and didn't want mere stories filling the heads of the people. There was a silence as the group parted for her father.

Tad breathed in and stood up nervously. He stared into there leaders deep eyes, " I am Tad Malcolm, and this is Jenny Long. We are from the Hope Tribe," He was still looking into the leaders eyes.

"Ok, fine, Hope tribers do us no harm. You can stay in these bunks. We have a curfue. If you are caught out after dark you will be banned and sent back to your tribe...."

" Look...we need help...we have just experience something terrible..."

" It's ok..I will tell him, you can rest now..." Skyler cut in, she followed her father and her mother out of the hut.

That night, she while eating dinner with her family, she told them about the others. The new ones. The strangers. She told them about what they experienced and about what the attackers were. They weren't sure what to think, but for once, Skyler was involved and was important....
