The cabin looked better than I expected. There was a couch and bed in one next to the wall. A fireplace was stood across from it and there was a radio on the floor. There was a cooler on the floor filled with ice.
"Thank you." I thanked Uub's mother. She gave me a small smile.
"You're welcome." She adverted her eyes. "Do you think they'd be back?" I shuddered at the thought.
"I hope... so." I admited. "I want to know what happened to my parents. But I also hope not. I can't defend myself from them. They'd probably kill me."
"Well, don't worry. I'll protect you." Reyu promised me.
"Really?" I looked up at Reyu, her onyx eyes looked down at me with an almost motherly gaze in her eyes.
"Yes. Besides, I'll get a chance to find out what happened to my son." Reyu grabbed a pack of matches from her pocket,walked to the firepit, bent down and lit it.
"Isn't that dangerous?" I asked. A fire pit inside the house made it likely that I'd burn in my sleep. Reyu looked at me harshly.
"I just said I would protect you. I won't put you in any danger." Reyu walked back over to Pan and grabbed her shoulder. "Are you hungry?"
"No. Not really."
"Okay. I'll be back tommorow with food. There are waters and juice and the cooler." Reyu began to make her way to the door.
"Wait. I'm gonna be here alone?" I asked panicking. What if those guys came back? Espically that purple haired guy.
"Yes. You're not in danger. You're too close to the village for anyone to attack."
"Where is the village?" I asked, trying to stall her leaving. I think Reyu saw what I was doing and sighed.
"I can't tell you. They wouldn't allow you in anyway." Reyu said. She walked out the door. After a few seconds I decided to try to follow her.
I walked out of the log cabin and looked around for Reyu.
"Sona? Sona?!" A voice called. I wasn't sure if I should answer but the voice sounded familiar. I went back into the cabin and sat on the floor close to the firepit.
"Sona? Are you in there? Open the door. I'm scared." Recognized the voice as Marron. I rushed to the door and quickly opened and my blonde fell in.
"Marron, what are you doing here?" I asked shutting the door.
"These guys were at my house when I got home from school so I tried to find your house and there were... bodies everywhere. I tried to find you but I couldn't so I went around looking for you and soon I found you standing outside a cabin... and here we are." She said standing up.
"Well I'm here now. Why don't you stay here with me?" I asked hopefully.
"Until I can go home, I don't have much of a choice huh?" she smiled and looked around the place.
"Okay. What time is it?" I looked out a nearby window to see the sun setting.
"Uh," she pulled her phone out of her pocket and checked the time. "7 o'clock. We better go to sleep so we can go to school tommorow." I sighed and told Marron to sit down. I explained to her what happened and why we can't leave. When I finished her face was in awe and slight horror.
"That's... so cool!" Marron exclaimed. " I always read about this type of stuff. I didn't think it would really happen. Maybe that's why you're really fast and good at sports. But that doesn't explain why I can't go."
"If they were at your house, they're probably gonna be waiting at the school tommorow. They must've knew that you knew me." I explained.
"And Reyu is gonna protect us?"
"Well, she's gonna protect me. I don't know about you."
"Sona! I mean Pan!" I laughed at Marron.
"She'd probably protect you too. She's really nice."
Reyu sat in a tree near the cabin. She sighed.
"This girl is gonna go through alot. None of it is even her fault." Reyu said to herself. "Now she's got a friend. More work for me... unless..." A smile spread on Reyu's face. "That's a fabulous idea."
