On the next morning we followed on our horses Storck to his village and his People. He was really strange. Not only his skin and his face were different. I had also the feeling he was a little bit jumpy. But his English was not so bad.
"Storm Hawks. It was happened many thing since you gone. Finally we found water but the Strangers came again and said to us we have to leave." Stork moaned.
"So you are more in the desert like before?" Aerrow asked worried.
"Yes. And we have really troubles to get water for us and the animals. Also we have not enough food." Storck moaned again.
"But our offer is still actual. Came with your People to our hid. To Rock City. We have food and water for all. It Is sure better then alone in the desert." Aerrow said to him.
"Thanks Aerrow but my People are strong enough to handle this all on our self. Also we make the Strangers big troubles. For 4 days we attack on the mines and could destroy the main gate. Also we blocked the water of the river. But i need help. Troops, Weapons. If I not get this we cannot defend our homes again the Cyclonians." Storck said. Aerrow confirmed with a little moaned.
I only followed Aerrow and Storck with my horse and listen carful about their talk. It sounds terrible and more and more I get the feeling that all there problems was about my dad and his mine. Slowly I understand why I was so important for the Storm Hawks. They hope that my dad stops the attacks so long I am a prisoner of them. So they could defend their homes. It was terrible. My had hangs down and I was again short for crying. Aerrow noticed it and slowed hi shores down. So he was between me.
"Hey. What's wrong?" he asked. I looked to him sad and angry.
"Your problems are about my dad or?" I asked him. Fast Aerrow looked to stork but I think I not hear my question.
"Don't talk or say something about your Dad. We need a lot of time to become the respect and trust of the Indians. When they noticed you are the tougher of him. It could destroy anything." He said worried and looked deep in my eye. I start fast to nod my head.
"Also I don't know if it would be so good for us." He said after he was sure I understand it.
Later we came into the camp. It was only small. Some tents were standing around maybe 10 or more. The people sat outside their tents. Pale and lean. They looked very hungry. But they said nothing. Like ghost they looked at us. Like we do not exist. With angry and dark faces the looked at us. I don't know why but I had the feeling there views was like thousand knifes in my back. I get after Aerrow off of my horse. The ground was extremely dry. And you don't saw any water or grass or something else. But Aerrow take a bag from his horse and gave it Storck.
"I think with that food you should pass the next week. Until there we found a solution. Junko has some bowls with water at his horse." Aerrow said with a smile. Storck smiled too and in seconds the villagers were happy and start to sing and laughed. Finally it develops a Party. At the night we sad around a Hugh campfire. Finn was surrounded by young Indians girls in his age. He smiled as he laid his hand around two of them. Junko makes so Bodybuilder antic with the warriors. I was only sitting off and looked at the scenario. It was really strange this desert. On the one site that were all Warriors and fight against a really powerful enemy but then they can make a party. Suddenly I hear something was bringing me out of my mind. Somebody sit between me. It was Aerrow. I looked to him with a questioned view but he only smiled. There I noticed how often he smiled and is was such a nice smiling. I like it to saw him smiling.
"hey. Why you sit so wide away?" he asked.
"I have not really interest to have a party." I said and lay my head in my hands.
"Hey why are you so discontented? Have some fun. Look at Finn or Junko. They know that you must use every opportunity you have. When you use it not. Your live is boring." He said again with a smile. I smiled back.
"Yeah! You're right." I said and looked back to the camp fire. Suddenly a cold wind hid my skin. I start to tremble. Aerrow noticed it.
"Are you cold?" he asked.
"Yeah. A little bit." But before I could say something Aerrow but his coat and lay it around my. Then he take his hand and lay it around my should. I lay my head at his upper body. Finally I not really know what now happened. I mean for days this guy kidnapped me and tied me like an animal. Now we too were sitting here. Like a couple. But it was not really a problem for me.
"O my good!" I think to myself.
"I fall in love with him." I think shocked. But finally I like it. Slowly the sun went down and the night start. Also I noticed that Aerrow was hum an old sleeping song. But suddenly I heard Finns voice.
"Do you kidding? We do not want to be right bandit? We kidnaped the Daughter of this Mine owner!" he screams. After this all in the village stopped to sing and talk and looked first shocked to Finn. And then angry to me and Aerrow. I noticed hoe Aerrow swallowed and I was getting pale. I had this feelings with the knifes again. And now it could be gone to be real.
"I think we have known a big Problem!" he said to me.
