Chapter 6 : Christmas Party

Two days later, the village was back to how it was and the villagers were holding a Christmas party. Every person in the village had Christmas decorations hanging in and outside their house.

In the middle of the village was a big Christmas tree, which was decorated with beautiful lights and with red Christmas tree decorations. At the left of the tree stood tables in a U form for all villagers to sit.

Virgil was looking outside. Normally he was drawing on some paper that he had found in the house. But when he had seen how it looked outside he was staring at it and then he had got an idea to draw the tree. 'So this is how they celebrate Christmas.' thought Virgil.

Virgil had asked the mayor if they had a radio, so he could contact IR to say he was alright and if they could pick him up. But at Virgil's disappointment, the mayor had said that their radio was badly broken and there was no one who could fix it. Virgil sighed when he was thinking about what the mayor had told him. Even when he was in good hands, his house was the place he wanted to be. 'There's no place like home.' thought Virgil.

"Hey, dream boy." Said a female voice suddenly. Virgil turned around and saw Jessica standing in front of him. She had green sweater on and a brown jeans.

"Hey Jessica." He said and drew further.

"Hey, this is pretty good ? Are you a artist or something ? Because, you can draw very well." She said while looking over Virgil's shoulder.

"Thanks, well if you say so, yeah I'm a artist, but it's only one of my hobby's." Said Virgil while setting a sign on the drawing and then looked at her.

"You also can play the piano well." She smiled down at him.

"You heard me ?" Virgil asked.

"Yeah."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you…" Virgil apologized.

"You didn't. I was already awake." Smiled Jessica and looked outside. "You should be getting ready."

"For what ?" asked Virgil a bit confused.

"For the party." Said Jessica amused.

Virgil looked confusedly at her. "But isn't it meant to be the party only for the villagers and not for a guy, who was badly wounded, because he felt into a mudslide ?"

"Yes, even when you are a stranger, who was badly wounded when he was taken with a mudslide." Said Jessica with a smile to Virgil. "Come on, I think we've got some clothes in your size."

Virgil looked confusedly at Jessica who smiled at him. 'Come on." She said and pulled Virgil out of the seat he was sitting in.

A few hours later, everyone of the village sat around the table at the centre of the village. People were talking and laughing with each other. They looked like nothing had happened.

When the mayor stood up and asked their attention, everyone fell into quiet.

"Thank you, now as you know, in a few days it will be Christmas and I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year." Said the mayor. By then he had received a lot of applause.

"Let the meal begin !" he said and all the people started to eat. There was turkey, roaster, tomato soup and lots of more. So much that Virgil didn't even know what to start on.

A while later when everyone had done with eating, they begun to tell stories about what they had done in the last years. Some stories where very old. But they where very interesting to Virgil when a person dressed in black, stood up and began to speak.

"People, People, please…I need to say a few words." Said the person in black while looking at Virgil and then back to the people.

"Go ahead then, Philip." Said mayor Bill, wondering what Philip had to say.

"Thank you, Bill." Said Philip. "I want to let remind you that two days ago, a terrible mudslide had hit San Bernardino and had terrorized our village. I think you all know the organization, International Rescue, have been there to 'help' us. But when they lost a member of their organization, they just let those people die, just to get their member back ! And I can prove that the member of International Rescue is right here, alive ! Here I even got his slash !" said Philip, holding Virgil's slash in his hands. "Because of him, many people had died ! Because his members thought that his life was worth more than those people's souls !" yelled Philip angrily while pointing at Virgil.

By then every villager looked at Virgil and started to talk to each other.

"That's not true !" yelled Virgil angryily when he had jumped up from his place. "Many people already had died before we ever arrived here! We can't save them all ! Besides we gotall the people who we could have helped out ! They went after me when another mudslide came down and took me with it while I was saving a little girl !"

"Ha ! Don't make me laugh ! I bet you let the girl drown, when you were in it !" yelled Philip.

That was the last straw for Virgil. Virgil ran to Philip and threw him down on the ground. Philip landed on the ground and hit his fist in Virgil's stomach. Virgil winced, but recovered fast to hit Philip almost in the face. Philip had seen that coming and pulled away just in time. Philip jumped up and hit Virgil on the back. Virgil felt on the ground and winced. Virgil's back was now one of the weak spots, because of the bruises on it.

Philip wanted to hit Virgil again, but was grabbed by Jessica. Philip was stronger then her and threw her over him.

"Enough !" yelled mayor Bill. "Philip ! Go to your home ! We'll talk about this later ! Everyone, the party is over."

Philip growled and went to his home. Jessica helped get Virgil back on his feet. "Are you alright ?" she asked Virgil in a soft voice.

"Yeah…I think." Said Virgil while wincing.

"Come on, let's go home." Jessica said and walked with Virgil to her grandpa's home.

------

In the house of Jessica's grandpa, Virgil sat on the windowsill of the house, looking outside. He stared into the darkness. Virgil sighed and he wished he was back home. Every day that past he wanted to be home. Even when he is having fun around here, he still missed his family. He'd missed the pranks his two youngest brothers played on him, he missed the chats he had with John over computers and stuff. He missed hanging around with Scott out on the beach, challenging each other for a run to the house. He missed how his father would act if he and his two youngest would fool around. He missed his grandma's pies and the laughing in the house when Scott tried to steal one of her pies.

Virgil sighed and looked up in the sky. 'Goodnight everyone. I hope we see each other quickly.' He said and went to his bed.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the night, a person dressed in black sneaked out of the village.

He ran into the forest and jumped on a motorcycle that was standing there. He drove over a road and stopped at a wooden house. He had gotten off and knocked on the door. A tall person with brown hair opened the door. "I'm glad you came." He said to the person.

"You're late, Philip." Said the person in a chair, when the person came in.

"I'm sorry, sir. Me and the member of International Rescue had a fight and the mayor wanted to talk to me." Said Philip.

"Did you do what I've told you to do ?" asked the person in the chair.

"Yes sir, I think the villager won't trust him too much now." Said Philip with a grin..

"Good. Now let's start Operation Mudslide !" said the person in the chair. When the person in the chair turned around, the hood was sitting in it. All of them started to laugh evilly.
