I did a lot of thinking that night curled up under my net beside Georgina. I thought about Annemie and Willow. How easily their lives were taken.
The Lyons would have been taken just as quickly. But I stopped it. I... saved them. It's a weird word to use because I don't feel like I've saved anyone. I helped the twins back home.
I look at the ring on my right hand, at the carved lion growling at me. The whole family had been so thankful, so gracious. Each one had thanked me for their sacrifice- a never ending line of people I'd never met and will never meet again.
I had kept their family together and they had been so...
I don't remember what my own family said to me. Something about how I could have kept my head down and waited it out but oh well.
Oh well. That was the Long way. Bad things happened and "Oh well."
I couldn't leave Annemie and Willow at an "Oh well."
The next morning I said on alert, my knife already in hand instead of stuck in my belt. I walked ahead of Georgina, looking back to check on her. I listened carefully to the insects chirping, to the ruffle of underbrush.
The trees broke and a field of crops stretched out in front of us. No leaves, no bushes nothing to hide behind. I walked cautiously out to the fruit, looking down at the large plants for only a moment.
I wasn't thinking about food or water anymore, nor the bugs chewing at my neck. I was looking for figures. My eyes flickered from the trees to Georgina to the treeline again.
I was awake. I was ready. No more oh wells.
That's why when they poked their heads out I was the first to strike.
