the day after that i tried to speak to harrow but he was nowhere to be found.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PYwZHLm6x
the next few days were tense and quiet. there was a certain edge to everything now.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pkDf7Dluh
people still worked in the fields and took care of the animals, but nobody laughed as much. people talked quieter. more guards stood watch at night. every now and then i would catch people looking out toward the woods.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFAPfWUCWV
like they were waiting for something to come out of them.
as i sit near the edge of the woods on break from working in the fields i stare emptly towards the trees.
“someone needs to step up.”
i look over at sammy who is sitting near me.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBViYEHve9
he looks at me after breaking out of deep thought.
“what did you say?”
i sigh in annoyance. “i said someone needs to step up.”55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviCCcZLVqW
i pause for a sec. “you know ever since the huntin trip you’ve been actin weird, what’s going on sammy?”
sammy looks into the woods again.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E4w4Ek7vU
“it’s nothing… it’s…”55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy8CO2uKE4
he tosses a pebble he’s been fiddling with this whole time.
“…stupid.”
i look at him with interest. “what is?”
he freezes again, then looks at me like he’s about to speak—
abby, drake, ashley, and katie come over.
“what are you two yappy about?” ashley says.
sammy looks back at the woods.
“nothing you need to worry about… you’re a bit too young, ashley,” i say bluntly.
“careful jack, that’s my little sis you’re talking to,” drake says, then looks at her. “but… yeah, jack is right.”
abby looks at me worried.
i catch the look. “whatcha lookin at?”55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvr7SdSUt7
she just looks away and i scoff.
later that night after it goes dark I go walk the woods, the nght is silent no birds singing, no crickets chirping.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aRoW1pxQV
